ANOTHER ECHO OF THE PAST.

Fifty years ago the following iten,
was printed in papers in this vicinity:
Registration in Washington is
nearly completed. The figures to date
show the voters to be: whites, S,251 F.;
blacks 7,271.
Half century ago the people or
the District of Columbia enjoyed the
privilege Of suffrage. The republi-
can party was at its zenith at that
time, and the leaders experienced but
little trouble in capturing the capital
city. Negroes were carried to Wash
ington in droves and registered, and
on election days it was seen that
every one responded. Of course, their
expenses to and from the capital were
paid out of party funds. and it was
gala day for the blacks, most of
whom had not the slightest idea who
or for what they were voting.
A large percentage of the negroes
OF that day We're of type which has
aong since passed away. The great
mass were illiterate, barely knowing
one letter from another and the elder
species were Of the "Old Uncle Ned"

ENDURING PEACE

Oh, what is peace?A pure white dove
That wings its way from heights
~ above =.
With snowy pinions, spotless fair.
That cleave unsoiled the murky air.
All, gentle dove where trenches yawn
And swards unsheathed CLEAN thru
the dawn.
Hast thou, affrighted, taken flight,
And left the world whose lurid light
Is flashed against the battle-cloud
From cannon threats, with thunder
loud?
No! No; 1t cannot, cannot be.
IT'S still Gods world. We yet shall
His white-winged peace, broodlng
dove
|. Sent forth by his unchanging love
In earthward flight, from heights
above.
Come, gentle dove, and fold thy wings
Where now the battle tumult rings.
Not for a moment poised for flight
But, as our eager hearts invite
A nesting bird, where striving cease
Come now and bide-endurlng peace.
All, what is peace? An olive leaf
Borne Ger the surge of woe and
grief
can olive leaf plucked off," to show
That on the sodden earth below
! The trees of Gods own planting grow
While in the ebbing battle-tlde
The dove may find place to bide.
In what must lasting peace consist
Alas! Have we the secret missed!
It must be laid in righteousness,
And come in ways our Lord doth bless
No false security we crave,
| Uncertain as the tossing wave,
Nor, bond with view to subJugate
But rather to illuminate.
And all complaints to arbitrate
Maintaining truth inviolate-
The "Peace with honor" consecrate
| To high endeavor, righteous law,
The vision that our fathers saw
Along the rugged path they trod-
Enduring peace--the peace of God.
Along the way God marks for US.
How shall we gain it? Only thus

AS followers of the Prince Of Peace,
In sacrifice and service true.
Our patriot-convenant to renew.
We must. nation God has blest,
DO RIGHT, and leave to him the rest
His mighty arm can we'll secure
| The peace that ever shall endure.
When will it come? We can not tell
That it will come, we know full well

{ The kingdoms of the earth are His
When He ordains. the Prince of Peace
TIE tumult and the strife shall cease
And we shall have enduring Peace.

FINANCING THE WAR.

How Will it be Accomplished
In view of the interest of business
men in the great task of financing
the war and the urgency for action,
the National Chamber has called
upon the Alexandria Chamber of
Commerce for quicl; consideration
of referendum just sent out. Com
mercial organizations everywhere
are displaying, at the present time,
intense patriotism and a desire to
aid. In order that the opinion of the
business men shall make itself felt
and be of service to Congress in
forthcoming legislation, it must be
expressed with all possible. prompt

Training a Minister.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

A correspondent suggests that
Americas call for trained men"
should not be overlooked by the
ministers of the Gospel.
"What we need most in America
is body of trained ministers.
writes our correspondent. "These
now go TO their charges book trained,
but with no real knowledge of life
and of human nature. and everyday
conditions. Before preaching p,os-
pective ministers should go into the
world, work among working people
do mems work among men, and
gain a knowledge of life before be-
ginning their ministry. And instead
of studying what theologians have
to say about the Bible, they should
study the Bible itself"
Probably clergymen are giving
more service to humanity for their
board, and sometimes not even get
ting that. than any other class. I'm
fortunately, a majority of the people
of this country never get close
enough to a minister of the Gospel
to be able to criticize his work I'M
derstandingly.
Our correspondent is right about
the value of worldly knowledge, hui
man experience, to the clergyman; it
helps him to understand his field Of
work. The public is likely to be
unresponsive to the message of a
bookish minister who has no insight
into the everyday problems of hu-
man existence. But the ministers,
nearly all of them, and of whatever
faith. are doing the best they can do
with the light they have.
Many nonchurch goers assume the
attitude of a prospective customer
to whom competing statesmen are
exhibiting their wares. They do not
propose to give Gospel vendor
their business unless he meets with
their approval, all of which is a
curious inversion of the urgent per-
sonal obligation of man to save
his soul, and that there is a future
existence for it beyond the grave.
IF we believe we have soul that
may be saved for an eternal life,
what do We care about how some
clergyman performs his duty, so
long as We conform to our own ur-
gent obligations, in the matter?

CROWN PRINCES JUBlLANCY

TIE German crown prince in tel
epram to the burgo-master of Ber-
lin praising the bravery of Berlin
soldiers in battle says: with such
troops we could fetch the devil from
hell"
Such words might have been ex-
pected from this scion of royalty,
who may be likened to the Ieuton
who drew map of the world. The
bulk of the map was taken up by
Germany, while the United States
was designated by small island.
We hear but little from the Ger
man crown prince. That is, his
words are seldom quoted, and if the
above are specimens of his talk, 1t
shows the good sense of the German
censor who keeps his sayings strictly
within the Fatherland.
1t may, however, prove consollng
to the members of the human race
to know that the great enemy OF
souls can be made to run by the Ger
man soldiers. Since the days of the
Garden of Eden he has been on the
rampage. We are told that in the lat
ter days the Devil is to be cast out
upon the earth, when a reign of terror
unknown in other ages will follow
Hence the crown prince may be given
an opportunity to put his German
soldiers against this arch fiend and
his "infernal peers"

War Taxation Methods Recommended
In the referendum submitted to
the Alexandria Chamber, National
Chamber Committee recommends
that:
|. Approximately $400,000,0OO OF
the amount raised by taxation in the
first year should be obtained, as a
war measure, from increased individ-
ual income taxes, through such in
creased super-taXes and decreased
exemptions as the committee rec
ommends.
II. Approximately S20O,0O0,00O
of the amount raised by taxation in
the first year should be obtained, as
war measure, by additions to the
present excess profits tax, with
amendments of the law which the
committee recommends.
III. The first-vlass postage rate
as war measure, should be increas-
ed fifty per cent, to yield approx
mately S1OO,OOO,OOO in the first year.
". Stamp taxes should be i'm
posed. as a war measure. to yield
approximately S25O,00O,OOO in the
first year.
Y. Customs duties should be i'm
posed. as war revenue measure, on
articles to yield about s100,000,0O0
in the first year.
VI. Excise taxes should be impos-
ed, as war measure, upon list
of articles of luxury and general use
and which would yield about $780,
100000 in the first year.
VII. Retroactive taxes should not
be imposed upon incomes and profits.
VIII. The amount of exemption
ON the 1apital-stock tax should be
decreased from $4,000 to $4,000.
The universal sentiment of the
business men throughout the country
is that few should not be permitted
to profit greatly by the war at the
expense of many, the committee de-
clsres. Industry owing to large pro-
fits secured during the last two years
is in an uncommonly strong position
and able to bear its full taxation.
War borrowing leads to excrava-
gance; war taxation leads to econ
omy, the report gees on. Through
ar taxation a direct and immediate
,eck can be placed on extravaganza
in individual consumption. This sets
rec labor and capital for the produc-
ton of military supplies and food
for ourselves and for others, and
lends TO reduce the cost of such sup
plies to the government, which in
urn reduces the taxation necessary.

This has been one of the most sen

Mrs. Vawter, upon learning OF the
