iltonians opposed the Jeffersonians.
Tho former had Of late years won some
important points from the latter. After
the civil war, and partly as the result
Of that war. national authority had In
creased considerably, and was In ex-
ercise when the great European strug-
gle broke out.
The new contention will probably
be described as between socialism and
individualism. State socialism is un-
der much discussion. Those who avow
themselves socialists profess satisfac-
ton with the steps the war has obliged
the national government to take in
extending national authority, and pre-
dict that they cannot be retraced. The
old order, they believe, is beyond
resurrection.
This opinion, however, is vigorously
challenged by many democrats as well
as republicans; and the subject is like
" to figure in this years campaigns.
II is unnecessary to say that wherever
introduced 1t will command attention;
and those who discuss it may expect
to be called on for particulars and
arguments to fit.

Items hitherto unknewn in the gov

Items hitherto unknown In the gov
ernmsnts expense account are promi-
nent there today.
OF course, the majority party will
explain and champion the figures.
Here is the war. It's requirements are
enormous, and must be met. The strug-
gle could not be conducted on "tick. J"
Uncle Sam must have what the stress
Of the emergency demands.
How shall the minority party reply
It Is sharing in the responsibility. The
supplies are being voted practically
without opposition. Majority and mi
nority are uniting in filing Uncle
Sans purse, long and deep as it has
grown.
But, In some way, the figures will
be discussed when the congressional
candidates take the stump. They
should be. They are full Of instruc-
tion. They cover . multiplicity Of
things, many Of them new and all Of
them interesting. The voters could not
be better entertained or instructed
than by explanations from informed
sources of what is necessary for gov
ernment to conduct warfare by meth
DDS now existing. We are in the thick
of affairs the like Of which the world
has never known before.
The November result will not turn
on the appropriation figures, unprece'
dented for size as they are, but on
ether questions now taking shape and
developing along party lines. And
whether the next Congress is demo
cratic or republican, the supplies, if
the war continues, will continue Of the
requisite proportions.

Clearing for Action,

The House ways and means commit
tee is on the eve of beginning the
drafting of the new war revenue meas
ure. Several weeks will be set apart
for the work. The country, with much
interest and some anxiety, awaits the
result.
Pains have been taken by the COM
n,ittee to gather information neces-
sary to the performance Of its task.
Business has been consulted. 1mpor-
tant branches of business have supplied
both statistics and suggestions bear
ing on the matter.
This was the proper procedure. It
was not taken last year. The commit.
tee at that time hurried with its work,
making lightning speed.
At that time, however, the country
had just entered the war. The size of
its responsibility was unknown. All
that was known was the size Of the
struggle; that the whole world practi-
cally was involved.
Very much more is known today.
It is q world war now in broader
sense than then. Americas part has
grown since i. was assumed. It is to.
day large, and may continue to grow.
But, whatever its size, it must be
played. The country's resources are
at the command of Congress.
This second revenue measure, there
fore, should be prepared with great
care. Thought should be taken, not
only Of the present emergency, but of
emergencies that may follow. And as
emergencies arise they must be met.
The end Of the war is not in sight.
With the preparation made, the COM
mittee should turn out good piece Of
work. It lacks for nothing necessary
to satisfactory performance. The
sum required is very large, but there
are many means Of raising it.
An equitable assessment, non-class
and non-sectional, il demanded, and
the demand should be needed. Any
other sort Of measure will cause
commotion in the country and in Con-
gress. For, Of course, dissatisfaction
in the country will be reflected in Con-
gress. Appeal viii be taken from the
committee, and if unsuccessful IN the
House presented then to the Senate.
The new revenue law, therefore, may
be matter Of weeks, or months, after
the congressional recess, as the ways
and means committee discharges the
duty it is now about to undertake.

Preparing for the Next Blow.

As if to demonstrate that they are
not overawed by the German projects
for renewed offensive the French and
British have smashed sharply at the
enemy's lines, each gaining mile in
surprise attacks and together taking
] $50 prisoners. These operations were
of a local character. yielding relatively
immaterial gains, but serving impor-
tant purposes in the immediate sectors.
There will be many of these local op-
erations from time to time before the
next offensive begins, designed to
straighten and strengthen the allied
lines and to make everything as secure
as possible before the onset of the
enemy. That he will strike again and
soon is believed. Time is running
against him more and more heavily as
the American stream of troops to Eu
rope increases. He cannot rest con-
tent with what he has accomplished
thus far this year. Consequently the
obvious design of Gen. Foch is to be
ready for him at every point Of con-
ceivable attack, and these operations
indicate that no time is being lost in
this vitality important work of prepara-
ton.

Back to Conference.

The House Of Representatives yes
terday without a record vote returned
the District appropriation bill to con-
ference with insistence upon the elimi-
nation of the half-and-half plan. The
speeches made in support of the House
conferees' opposition to the Senate
amendment were in the usual vein of
misunderstanding of the real issues
and the real needs Of the District.
Prejudice against the half-and-half
system was manifested without dis
play of justification.
It was stated on the floor Of the
House that working plan is provided
by the bill as it passed that body for
the ample financing of the District.
There is a plan, but whether it will
work or not is doubtful. That plan is
to take all the money that can be
raised by District taxation, appropriate
It, and add as much more out of fed
era1 funds as Congress sees fit to allot
to local needs. Under that plan there
will be no assurance whatever of fed.
eral contributions. There will be no
dependence upon an adequacy of sup
port for the various District needs.
The District will be left to a shifting
basis Of annual maintenance
Those who have studied the Districts
situation without prejudice under
stand perfectly that there can be no
progress in the National Capital mu-
nicipality with the appropriations for
its maintenance on sliding scale such
as the House provision proposes. To-
day with the half-and- half principle
grudgingly observed by the House and
with the local funds depleted from
time to time by inequitable drafts to
repay ancient debts Of doubtful iegit-
imacy, the District is sadly in arrears
in many respects, in point of school
buildings, school pay, the size and pay
OF the fire and police departments, all
municipal maintenance funds. There is.
a disposition to make the best of this
situation with the national war needs
in mind and to relegate for happier
and more prosperous time large prof.
eets Of improvement for which the Dis
trict has been waiting. To put the Dis
trict upon the sliding scale basis, how
ever fair the promises Of generous fed
eral aid, would be to throw the Dis
trict back into an almost hopeless ar
rsarage.
All these matters are perfectly well
understood by those who have studied
the question without prejudice against
the haif-and-half system, the very ma
ture and history of which are not
grasped by those who are today urging
its abandonment. The Senate's in
sistenee upon its amendment restoring
the vital principle to the organic act
OF 1875 is confidently expected by the
people of Washington and by its
friends. who recognize the menace con-
tanned in the House provision.

France declares July legal holi-

United States that should be recipro-
Gated by an official recognition by this
country Of July IA, the French ma
tional birthday, the anniversary Of the
fall Of the Bastile. Should there be
any disposition to hesitate about Great
ing q new American holiday SO close

bered that France has not been de-
tefred in a declaration Of July 4 as a

eisely the same nearness to Bastile day.

appropriations Of this session Of Con.

We are all familiar with the process
in normal times. The majority party

Socialism Versus rndividualism.

SVClduem vcIbQb 4UQlVlQuauSm.
The quidnuncs are busy with tho
subject Of the effect Of the war on
the two old parties. In one quarter
the prediction is made that the demo-
cratic party will become the party Of
Capitalization, while the republican
party will stand for the other thing.
Tho eentralization made necessary by
the war Is the work Of both parties.
They are acting together in that as in
other matters connected with hostin.
ties. National control, It is conceded,
springs at this time from national re.
sponsibilities. The nation is at war.
Hence, while the war lasts, the national
government must command many Of
the nations resources.
But after the war. vhatf Some Of
the quidnuncs are Of opinion that as
these centralizing steps are being taken
under national democratic leadership,
that party will hesitate to face about
after the emergency has passed; that
it will favor holding to the new course,
and following it to the logical end.
On the other hand, as this opinion
runs, the republican party will favor
dropping ali war exrcdients with the
passing of the war, and 0turning to
policies in successful opefson before
the war began.

AN ADVERTISEMENT WRITTEN
BY PRESIDENT WILSON

On the first page of this issue
of the Sentinel will be found the
reproduction of an advertisement
written by President Wilson. 1t
is an unusual thing for the Presi-
dent of the United States to write
an advertisement, but these are
unusual times and they call for
unusual acts.
The advertisement written by
President Wilson is an appeal to
the people to purchase bonds of
the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The advertisement is paid for
by Stikine Tribe No. 5, Improved
Order of Redmen - a patriotic
organization, and the oldest lodge
in existence of purely American
origin. 1t was born in patriotism,
nurtured in freedom and conse-
Grated to liberty.
twill be remembered that on a
certain important date in history
a party Of men disguised
as Indians rushed down upon
the wharf in Boston and threw
a cargo of tea overheard. The
men who constituted the Boston
Tea party were members of the
Sons of Liberty.
The Redmen's lodge is the d.
rectlineal descendant of the Sons
of Liberty who for more than
ten years prior to the Declaration
of Independence had by their
active work paved the way for
that immortal act.
Coming down from the days
of the American Revolution the
Order is today intensely patriotic
and broadly American. Love of
country and the conservation of
liberty are its guiding impulse in
the present great world crisis.
The front page of this issue of
the Sentinel is a graceful tribute
from the Redmen to the great
Chief at Washington, and adds
convincing evidence of their will
lingness and determination to do
their full share in making the
Fourth Liberty Loan a triumphant
