Is national DISGRACE, q 1t leads to
poverty and crime. H.. r. .,
And, there is no reason, for making
a loan to pay the soldier Or to pay any
person. Even during the civil war,
greenbacks or treasury notes were al.
ways as good as gold when made a
legal tender for duties on imports and
for all debts, public and private with
out any exception Surely Congress
should be given to understand that in
dealing with the soldier our Govern
ment cannot afford to be dishonest or
to act the part of a bully or bull
dozer in violation of our Constitution.
In the war business it seems there
is always false economy. What
was the cost of our recent expedition
against Mexico, including railroad
charges for transportation from all
the distant points of the countryc
You may rest assured it was twice
the cost of hiring at 500 a month, a
proper number of Texas Rangers,
sharpshooters and. cowboys. There
were plenty of them where they were
needed in the border States. The
cost was doubled by the failure OF
Congress to act on the matter prompt
ly and wisely, and the same is true of
the present war. Congress is a
mountain that cannot be moved by
either faith or reason. 1t seems
that in due time our Townley must
undertake the task Of recognizing
Congress and the whole political ma
! chinery of the country. TOwnley Is
the great leader and organizer of Am
, erica.

yer and do offer my services to draft
all proper laws and amendments to
the Constitution. From such amend
ments and laws the yearly benefits
sure to accrue are far away up in
the millions. There is way to re-
duce immensely the burdens of taxa
ton; to reduce idleness, poverty and
crime; to assure general prosperity
and happiness. There is way to
secure fidelity and efficiency in pub
lie service. There is a way to use
the strength and credit of the State
to build up and not to pull down, and
to benefit every citizen. And still
we grope for the wall like the blind,

with the war departments in the mat

One instance suffices to show the

patriotism rather than law.
Recently the French war mission,

WAR TAX.

There is much glib talk about pay
ing for the war "as you co." as
though it meant little in the way of
disturbing economic conditions to
meet, war expenditures by such a
method. , The present generation
must pay heavily in blood as we'll as
in money, that future generations
yet unborn may enjoy that liberty to
which the Republic was dedicated
nearly $50 years ago.
Our fiscal policy is as important as
our military plans. The economic
fibre cannot be submitted to such a
strain that it will not respond eff
GENTLY to the pressing demands of
a state of war All of us, it is true,
mus: give in blood and dollars, but
p0sterity, which will benefit, should
share the tax burden, too. .....,
Any scheme which &. contemplates
paying for the war as you co., is ial
lacious and traught with serious per.
H.. Taxation that handicaps the pro.
ductive power of a nation only places
another weapon in the hands of the
enemy.
Bleeding nation to death by tax
alton is as, possible as sapping an
army's strength on the field of battle
by poor leadership.
Surely posterity should demand no
more than that this generation spend
its blood and it's share Of money for
the preservation Of the Republic.
i The cost of the war should be
spread over thirty or more years.
Each period must bear it's proportion.
Probably the present should bear
more than others, but there is a just
and equitable distribution of the war
tax load and it is the patriotic duty
Of Congress to find 1t.

NEWSPAPER CENSORSHIP.


President Wilson seems determined
to impose some kind of censorship
upon the American press. Probably
military exigencies necessitate mild
form of press muzzling, but the need
Is not glaringly apparent as yet.
The dictates of patriotism have
guided every editor in the United
States more skillfully in the elimina,
ton of harmful news than any stupid
bureaucrat could who usually strains
at gnat and swallows a camel,

of this work, and the fact that it is

Parents intending to take advantage
of this school will please see that
children enter promptly on the open

to children who need this help so
that they may make up the work, II
possible, and enter the next grade in
the fall. We do not guarantee the

all in our power to bring it about by

tin every d6paftmsnt'8f Government,
state and national, civil reform is the
great question before the American
people. 1t is question that merits
special and business-like considera-
ton on every legal holiday. In our
Constitutions it is written that all
men are by nature free and equal and
have a right to life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness and the right to
acquire, possess and dispose of prop
erty. And in the great memorial
speech at Gettysburg there was re-
solve that the dead should not have
died in vain,-that this Nation, under
God, shall have a new birth of free
dom and that government of the peo-
pie and for the people, shall not per-
ish from the earth:,.p'1 'A'9e da1s
Beauteous and rhetoritaT is bthe
word-painting, but the picture isnan
illusion. A Government by and for
the people is still thing unknown.
AS the United States Supreme Court
declared, under our Constitutions, as
it existed prior TO the civil war, the
black man had no rights that a white
man was bound to respect. And the
Court might we'll have gone further
and have held that the poor man had
no rights which the rich were bound
to respect. Even in our day and gen.
GRAFTON, poor white soldiers were tied
to posts and flogged on the bare back
with a rawhide by order of snobbish,
well-paid officers. And it would not
be far amiss to say that they were
flogged because of being poor and i'll
paid. If the soldiers had received a
mans pay of 500 a month, then there
would have been no flogging and no
Bulls Run.
BY long and persistent effort it
seems we have just secured from Con-
gress the passage of all Act giving
the soldiers an additional pay of $15.,
a month. In my letters to the Pre-
sident, Members of Congress, and to
the people, have shown that a MANS
time is his private property, and that
under the letter of the Constitution,
private property may not be taken for
public use without just compensation.
Hence, to ,conscript a man and take
his time without just compensation is
a mere hold-up. 1t is passing strange
that our Congressman do not learn
