A Congressional Superstition.

What is the trouble with Congress, anyway, that
it balks at an increase in war taxes at time like
this-a time when all America is dead set for the
war; time when have shown our earnestness
by oversubscribng Third Liberty Loan! Why
is Congress afraid to take up tax legislation now
afraid to go home to the people on the eve OF an
election with necessary new tax law voted lot!
For we know that the old won't do.
That they are afraid has been clearly indicated
by Washington dispatches, reporting the views OF
Representative Kitchn and Senator Simmons on
the spirit of their respective bodiesthe two Houses
OF Congress.
Do men in Congress actually believe that Amer
leans are counting their dollars against their mel: :
Do they think that we are afraid to meet the issue
as it really is-as every mothers son, and every
mothers daughter, knows it is? Do they think that
we are children; that cannot see?
There is an old superstition in Congress that,
although it may be its last legs, is still stand
ing 1t is to the effect that tax legislation on the
eve of an election is bad politics.
The sooner the superstition IS forgotten the bet
ter The wise ones going to know the truth.
They are going to know that the right kind OF tax
LEGISLATION is the best possible politics. This in spite
OF the fact that few big interests may be hit
The right kind of tax legislation means this
Taxation aimed at war profits and swollen incomes
These are the things that get under the hide OF
every American They are the only Things tnat set
him wondering. When he buys liberty bond he
may know he is making investment But when
he contributes to "war charity" socalled, he is
dubious He wonders what the fellows with the big
incomes are contributing to match him along lines
OF war duty"
Our next tax bill should be whole lot more
carefully thought than the present abortion 1t
should really strike the targets aimed at not scatter
around all over the lot like funnelmouthed blum
derbuss. Maybe it shouldn't be passed in hurry
But Congress ought at least to be at work on it
And Representatives and Senators, if they want
their seats back again. should be able to tell the
people truthully that they are working-and along
what lines they working.

ing guns and Liberty motors seem small indeed
We ought to have machine guns and airplancs now.
There is no doubt OF that But having given oyer
both Of them to our great national specially Of
quantity production by machine work, as opposed
to the European handwork we are going to tr-
umph with it matter what the difficulties.
When quantity production of Browning guns and
Liberty motors really starts. we will be able to
produce them faster than all the muntion factories
of Europe combined.
Months ago Lord Northcliffe told US that we
were building the greatest war machine the world
has ever known. He was not speaking words OF
flattery. We now begin to realize how necessary
that first twelve months Of painful, aborious, ten
tative preparation was They were dotted with
mistakes and the hot-bloods, chahng because we
were not sabre-rattling rather than sobery study
ing the great engineering problems that were be-
fore us, made the most of them. Our exact method
of work was not exactly understood in all European
chancelleries. Even the French more than once
made exclamatious Of impatience over our con-
tinuous procession of wood choppers and road
builders and rail workers But they are beginning
to see what It means now, to grasp the American
way of doing things. They are awed by the i'm
mensty OF the preparations we have made for the
sending of our millions 10 their far-fung line OF
battle.
The Ludendorff offensive gave us the one thing
needful 1t forced unity of command among the
allies, for which President Wilson has striven for
more than eight months; it permitted US also to
triple and quadruple the despatchng OF our troops
abroad because we could abandon our divisional or
ganizaton. These things have whipped our war
dynamo into a speed which suggests what its tu-
ture power will be.
The submarine is all but an anachronism, the
Atlantic is to become fshpond when our ship
yards get into their stride The vision OF the great
American army in France-an army which Will
amaze the worlds floating before our eyes.

Our Army.

Willy-nilly, we are becoming military nation.
Week by week plans expand to meet the task
that is before US. The army that fashion
ing is destined to become one Of the largest and
most powerful in the world. We thinking and
talking in figures that were almost undreamed OF
six months ago.
II is no longer army OF 100000 or 2,ooo,-
600 men that America will despatch to Eu-
rope Such force now seems puny. As we feel
our muscles and measure the true ife-power that
is within them, we that such an army no longer
affords that expression OF national will on the
field of battle which we demand Moreover, VIC
are beginning to perceive the fact that such an
army would be inadequate to accomplish the pur-
pose which we must accomplish, perish-the de-
feat of the enemy. 1-..
We are to train and employ army OF 1000
ooo- or 100000 men. Before the end OF
the present year we will have in Europe 100000
lighting troops which means that at least an equal
number OF noneomhatant forces behind the lines
must be transported there also. That is great
program for 1918, but we equal to it. 1t is
only the forerunner of the giant army we will send
to France in the spring and summer of 1919. BY
that time the word america" will be written in let

viii have become the dominant figure in it, the
great guarantee of victory.

Wrongly Accused.

Reference at a social gathering was made to
the temptations that beset the human kind when
this anecdote fittngly related by Representative
Joseph w. Fordney, of Michigan:
One afternoon the proprietor of grocery store
CHANGED to glance out the plate-gass window and
small boy lingering around barrel of apples
exhibited on the sidewalk. Il
Hey, there, boy" exclaimed the groceryman
going to the door. what are you doing?"
"Nothn'," laconically answered the boy with
his eyes still fixed ON the barrel ...
Nothing, eh?" doubtfully returned the grocery
man. Aren't you trying to steal Of those
apples?" IT,
"No sir" responded the youngster. "Pm trying
not to."-Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.

Washingtonians Are 'Potatriotic.s

During the course Of conversation
yesterday. Mr.. wilkins had this 20
say about potatoes. in which he has
been 20 interested lately:
The women OF washington are
true patriots and I'd like 20 see the
one who says they aren't I'hey

ingness to aid their United states
by the cooperation they have given
in the Eat More Potstoes1 move-
ment.

be a serious waste through rot OF
potatoes ~ they weren't eaten in .

decided 20 ask the housewife 60
serve them as food more than they
had been doing, why. all responded.
OF course, there were two reasons
for their asserting so easily to aid.
One "a the patriotism in Il through
the substitution of potatoes for
wheat The other is that potatoes
are a really fine food. guess
you've found thSt out in the last
two weeks yourself or your house
keeper isn't q patriot
Il want TO take this opportunity,
Ioo9 oL gAbANS1AHe
TO all the Washington newspapers
for their help in giving the cam
paign publicity. 1t sure is grand
the support they have given the
movement
NOW that so many people are
eating 'spuds' in place OF wheat
l see no reason. absolutely none at
all. why in the world there should
be any stop. From now on. potatoes
will continue to be the bread and
butter OF most every meal-mark
my word"
This potato-eating. wheat-savinE
campaign is not confined 20 WASH

this campaign will be carried on all
over this country. Washington was

follow the capital, We, here, are
looked upon as exsmples-we must
keep on eating more potatoes and.

Three stewed potatoes were shown
IN the washington Herald yesterday
with the information that every time
you eat potatoes a. q substitute for
bread You make sammy smile and
q Boehe groan.
At the top OF the notice was an
illustration Of three happy potatoes,
presumably .'stewed" and dancing to
the tune Of Yankee Doodle"
These potatoes had q very good
reason TO be happy and fnirthfui-
they have and are given the oppor-
tunity 20 show who and what they
are by real Missourian demonstration.
Two (possibiy three) weeks ago, this
American food was being eaten Just
whenever the housewife felt like
serving them. But within the past
two weeks. these patriotic women Of
our Capital City learned through pub
licity channels from the d. c. Food
Administration that potatoes were q
second-best substitute for wheat 80
she took 10 serving more potatoes
and eating more. So far, the move
ment has been q success in that tons
and tons more Of wheat, formerly the
body-builder Of the nation, have been
for overseas shipment and potatoes
eaten In Its place.
Had II not been for a special po-
tato committee appointed by the ID,
e. Food Administrator. thousands
upon thousands of bushels of potatoes
may have rotted on the market. As
Il 10 now. Washington folks have
eaten their quota of "spuds" and,
having learned how good a food they
are, must continue to eat potatoes
three times a day TO help the Amer
lean forces abroad to victory.
The committee formed for this spe-
cial work Is composed OF the fore
most potato merchants in this city
who know necessity when they see
it. Knowing the danger Of a big rot
and incidentally Of large sums Of
money lost IL the potatoes were not
consumed faster, they gladly donated
their valuable time and knowledge for
the cause. Mr.. John II. wilkins was
named chairman Of this committee.

Because. despite you have the VIII,

Al. well. no fight was ever won.
No deed of glory ever done,
That was not won or done in part

Who by their Faith gave greater

To those who fought the distant fight.
Who could not go, but cen as you

Who won no fame, who wore no bays,
Yet nobly bore their need of stress
For the great cause OF Righteousness.
