HERE SPEAKS A PATRIOT

The Intelligencer yesterday referred
to some utterances Of Mr.. Otto H.
Kahn, citizen Of New York, and Ger
man born, in contradistinction to the
disloyal ebullitions OF Senator La
Toilette. His words have equal sig,
nifcance to the attitude Of some citi.
zens Of like birth, who are still hold
ing half allegiance to the German
Emperor. Mr.. Kahn is the head OF
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Of New York, one
Of the foremost International banking
houses Of the world. is OF German
descent, and his house has long been
intimately identified with German
finance From the beginning OF the
European war he saw its true mean
ing, and even then believed that this
was our war as we'll as Europe's. He
has repeatedly called upon German
Americans to see that Prussian mill.
tarism was destroying the Germany
OF olden days. mentally and morally,
as completely as it has sought to
destroy Belgium and France.
In recent address he made before
the Harrisburg tPa.) Chamber of
Commerce, he spoke as one who has
seen the spirit Of the Prussian gov
crning class at work He has watched
it proceed with relentless persistency
and profound cunning to iustil into
the nation the demoniacal obsesSion
of power-worship and world.dominion,
to modify and peryert the mentality,
indeed the very fiber and moral sub
stance OF the German people - a
people which uutil misled, corrupted
and systematically poisoned by the
Prussian ruling caste, was, and de-
served to be. an honored. valued and
welcome member Of the family Of Ea.

THE INs1DIoUs CHANGE

4 New York journal Oh eminent re-
spectibiltty and given to san" reason
! ing on every topic except the tarlH,
drops into a glow Of enthSuiaSm over
! the fact that the figures for Internal
revenue collections show that the rev
! enues from that source have gone far
beyond the amount derived from the
tariff on imports. 1t iutimates that
this mCst carry dismay into the ranks
of the advocates of the protective
tariff, and says:
BEGINNING with the year 1914 the
: addition Of the income tax 10 other
! Internal revenue receipts has IN every
! year increased the disparity between
| Internal revenue collections and receipts
! from customs duties. Far the ascaI
| year 1916 internal rrvCuGc receipts
! amounted to S5l2.I0c.n"S. customs Nc
! ceipts were S2l3.iS5.Si5. II reflects 4
great and permanent chang" IN ma
! tional policy. We look now /" gains al
| individuals and Of corporations rather
| than to custom houses aS the Chief
source of Federal revenue.
| The paper quoted has been an
ardent supporter Of the fire." trade
policies Of the Democratic party, and
! the devotees to that destructive econ
omic system no doubt on reading tho
above excerpt will glcefully rub their
hands and exclaim, Plato, thou rea'
soonest we'll" But of course II is tho
usual sophistical exaltarion that takes
no account of the incidental injuries
inflicted by change which it hopes
may become permanent. Obviously
the figures do reflect great change
in national policy. They show a
steady and large decrease Of revenue
obtained from foreigners in the shape
Of customs duties and very heavy
increase In the taxes paid by domestic
producers. They show drop Of more
than a hundred million dollars in GUS
toms receipts from the s314.+9i,07
obtained in 1911 (PaFne-Aldrich pro-
tective tariff TO a total in 1915 Under,
wood free-trade tariif) OF s2l3.1S5, S45
This decrease Of over $100000,000 in
customs revenue derives added sig
nifcance from the fact that since the
protection year, 1911, there has been
! an increase Of a billion dollars year
in imports: We are importing bill,
j lion dollars more and collecting a hun.
dred million dollars less Of revenue.
That is what we are getting out Of a
tariff for revenue only" More i'm,
ports. less revenue.
The change works clear injustice
that lays more tax burdens upon our
own people and far lighter ones upon
| the foreigners who send their goods
10 US In increasing quantities. But for
the intervention Of the war the un
economic system Of the Demo
cratic party would have practically
destroyed the domestic market OF the
United States and wholly paralyzed
our industries. The barrier of the
. war acting in place Of a protective
tariff is the reason for all of our pros
perity and business activity to-day
II the change holds after peace Is
declared this same journal will be
singing another tune of most dolcfu
strains.

MEN GOOD COOKS
Serve Delicious Supper At ST. Mar
tin's-Patrons Pleased.

That men are good cooks, some of
them, especially those of St Martins
congregation. was demonstrated last
night at the supper cooked and served
by the men
A delicious supper it was. too, and
the patrons were pleased.
The kitchen was immaculate. One
could scarcely believe the men cooked
the supper themselves, but visit to
the culinary department was an occu-
lar demonstration. The kitchen was
as clean as a new pin. Everything
was arranged in a systematic way, and
everybody was busy. One man was
beating the batter and frying the po-
tato pancakes. These are delicious.
They are made of grated white pota-
toes, eggs, a little -four, milk and APP
pie sauce. and are eaten hot with but
ter and apple sauce. 1t is needless to
say the potato cakes went like the
proverbial "hot cakes"
Another man was stirring the caul-
dron of sauerkraut. the best ever
eaten. Still another was cooking tha
frankfurters. and one was making po-
tato salad. The supper was good and
wholesome, and well served by the
men who cooked it.
Everybody enjoyed the supper at st.
Martins last night, and were warm in
their praise Of the excellent male
cooks and their splendid service St.
Martins, however, always serves good
meals, even when the ladies are at the
helm.
