The Picketing Nuisance Abated.

Decision having been reached to en-
force the law against disorderly con-
duct, obstructing the highways and in
citation to riot, notwithstanding the in
disposition to accommodate with "mar-
tyrdomo the militant suhragists who late
3y have been picketing the White House
with annoying and even seditious in
scriptions on their banners, today's
events on the battle front have been
comparatively peaceful, though culmi-
mating in arrests. The suffragists have
been told that they must not stand or
parade in front Of the White House with
banners Of any character. They have
elected to defy this injunction, and two
Of them have been held for trial. There
can be no doubt Of the outcome Of the
case If the laws against disorderly as
semblage are enforced against them, as
they would be against any other persons
engaged in disorder provoking proce-
dure in this city.

day. They would have been negligent.
indeed, Of their duty had they permitted
continued display Of the obnoxious BAN
ners in front of the Executive Mansion
in the light Of the disorders Of the two
days previous, which have not only
scandaaized Washington, but have per-
haps done harm to the American cause
in this present grave crisis.
Now that picketing is prohibited prob
ably the spirit that has led to the per-
sistent attempts to annoy the President
and to seek publicity will find some
other way Of propaganda. Whatever it
is, it must be dealt with appropriately

days consideration is that at last q pub
lie nuisance has been abated at the gates
Of the White House after months Of toll

No Discriminatory Punitive Tax.

No Discriminatory Punitive Tax.
The American Newspaper Publishers'
Association protests vigorously and
unanimously against the suggested tax
on newspaper advertising or profits.
There is no sound reason for the i'm
position Of a Discriminatory, punitivs
war tax upon newspapers, whether upon
advertising or upon profits. A tax uni
formly imposed upon all businesses, In
GLIDING the newspaper business, will be
cheerfully borne. A tax imposed solely
upon the newspaper business, whatever
shape it takes, is discriminatory and
punitive; and, being grossly unjust,
should not be exacted.
The main reason suggested for the
exaetion of special tax upon news
paper advertising receipts or net profits
is that newspapers enjoy inequitably
low mailing rates; and that, If these
rates are not to be increased, the news
papers should in consideration Of this
inequitable advantage pay cheerfully a
special compensatory war tax Of some
sort.
This reasoning is unsound: l. It as
sumes that the present mailing rates,
adopted and continued as a part Of the
nations deliberate and traditional pol
icy of promoting the spread of infor-
nation by newspaper among all the peo-
pie, are unwise and unfair, and if con-
tinued demand in equity tax compen-
sation by those who enjoy them. This
issue has been and is now holly de-
bated, and is yet to be decided finally
upon its merits.
2. If it is decided that in the cheap
mailing rates publications enjoy a dis
criminatory benefit calling for the pay
ment of discriminatory consideration,
equity demands that such compensatory
payment be recognized as consideration
for the cheap mailing rates, insuring
their maintenance; and that the con-
sideration for the benefit be paid by
those who enjoy 1t and in proportion to
the degree in which they enjoy it.
A war tax on advertising or profits
meets neither Of these equitable and
essential conditions. (a) The Post Of
flee Department, representing in this
matter the executive branch Of govern
ment, will not recognize such tax as
cash consideration for the maintenance

believes to be inequitable. Disregard.

YOUNG MAN, YOUNG WOMAN,
 BE < CHIN UPPER

You do just four things and no more. You think; you remember; you imagine; you act. When you learn to think better, remember better, imag- inc better or act better, you are in creasing your efficiency, and, there fore your income, You may feel you are very successful now. Suppose you are; it isn't a question of what you know, but of how beneficial a practical business education will be to you in addition to what you al- ready know Did you ever stop to think that eighty-five per cent of the men of this country are only earning $15 per week or less. That ninety two per cent fail in business between the ages of 10 and 90? That ninety five per cent have no money at the age of 60? You will agree with us that to violate a part of the laws of business means partial failure, and to violate all the laws means complete failure. You are also aware that to observe part of the laws of business means partial success, and to ob- serve all of the laws of business means complete success. Our aim is to help you observe a higher per cent of the laws of success, and, there fore, enable you to be nearer the maximum success. The late Prof. James, of Harvard declares that the average man only uses ten per cent of his brain power, Suppose you are twcie as capable as the average man?
 Even that would mean you are only using twenty per cent of your maxi mum possibilities The purpose of our courses is to produce maximum of proficiency with minimum effort.

Thrilling Serial
 Starts Wednesday
Synopsis of Episodes No. and 2 of "The Secret Kingdom" Vitagraph's Romantic Serial.

King Philip Charles Richman Prime Minister Simond. Jos. Kilgour Simond's daughter. Helen Connolly Crown Prince, ,.... George Fredericks Captain Barreto. .......... Ned Finley Lieut.. Barreto ... Charles Wellesley Lieut.. Ramon. De Jalma West Queen. ............ Miss Louise Hale Juan's wife. Mrs. Fredericks Juan's son as child Helen Fredericks Juan's son grown up. William Dunn
 Taking advantage of his monarch's lack of funds, Prime Minister Simond of Alania, who secretly aspires to the throne, induces him to pass an ob- noXious tax bill. Then, with his sovereign unpopular, Simond feels it a good time to strike the blow, so he hires two villains to assassinate the King, Phillip II, and Queen Alike, while they are hunting in the royal forests.
 Captain Barreto, commander of the Alanian palace guard, and loyal friend of Phillip II, realizes Simond's dastardly plan, and when he hears him issue an order for the apprehen- sion of the little Crown Prince-the only obstacle remaining in his path to the throne, he dashes off with him to America. with the aid of Juan, fisherman.
 Barreto makes arrangements with Juan to keep in communication with his brother, Lieutenant Barreto, who will inform him of the events in Alania.
 Simond proclaims himself Prince Regent, and with bold bid for popu- larity, rescinds the obnoxious tax bill which he was instrumental in creating his first official act
 Meanwhile Captain Barreto and the Crown Prince arrive in the harbor of New York and sight the great Statue of Liberty which rises before them symbolic of the land to which they are iourneying where there are no kings and where prince and pauper have the same say in the government of the country.

The business world wants thinkers and doers. There's a famine of high priced men today; there are thous- ands of men worth a thousand dol lars year, but only a few worth ten thousand a year. Be the latter kind of man; you can if you will. We know that a man is worth only about $2.00 a day from the chin down, sell ing muscle, but as high as a hundred thousand dollars year from the chin up, selling brains. Be a chin upper and sell the higher type of brains; you can't afford to be a chin downer; there's no room for such a man in the high salaried class. We have been very successful in getting men out of the eighty-five, the ninety-two and the ninety-fve per cent class. Why not let us help you?

Then, after the AA draft season

PLEA IS MADE FOR
MIDDLE WEST LOOP
Omaha Base Ball Association
Urged to Take Leadership
in the Movement.
ALL CITIES WOULD JOIN

Urging that immediate action
toward such an end. be taken,
advocates OF a middle west ANA
teur base ball association, suggested
last fall after the very unsatisfactory
finale of the national association, are
clamoring for officials of the Omaha
Amatuer Base Ball association to take
the first steps.
When the inter-city series of the
National Amateur Base Ball associa-
ton proved such fzzling frost last
fall an agitation for middle west
circuit was given flying start. Lin
coin, which won doubtful champion
ship, because everybody else defaulted
and also failed to get trip, declared
allegiance with Omaha in the middle
western movement. Other middle
western cities were also dissatisfied
with the workings of the national
association.
Des Moines had to submit to a
trimming in the National Federation,
the newly-organized insurgent circuit.
Des Moines was the only western
city in the federation.
1t is believed that Omaha, Lincoln,
Des Moines, St. Louis, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, ST. Paul, Duluth and
possibly Sioux City, St. Joseph, Dav-
export and Sioux Falls would readily
organize a middle west association.
This independent association could
then if it chose play an inter-associa-
ton series with the national organiza-
ton to determine the championship
of the country.
Both national bodies are due to
hold their annual meetings the last of
this month and the plea is made for
immediate action on the grounds that
success will be impossible if organiza-
ton is delayed until after these meet
ings.
