A SININITY

Baron Hussarek, when speaking for Austro- Hungary, said
they were willing to make an honorable peace as soon as
their enemies renowned their evil intentions of destruction
In other words, if we will permit Austria-Hungary to remain
then Austria Hungary will conclude a peace. But that is not
possible.
Hereafter Austria-Hungary will not be conceded a divine
right to rule the Slav majority of that empire according to the
will of its autocrats. There are 100000 BOhemians and
Jugoslavs in Austria, and hardly more than 22,OO0,OO0 Mag
vars and Austrian Germans. The former have some rights
besides those that are doled out to them by these autocrats.
The Bohemians and Jugosavs have proved in this war
that they are not afraid to assert themselves. They are
fighting for their own freedom in many ways. They are do
ing it in Siberia under the name of the CzechO-Slovaks and
they are doing it in France and in the Balkans, and they are
going to do it at home, within Austria, as soon as they see
a chance to get upon their feet and shoot.
The Austrian question will never be settled until this part
of it is settled right. We hope that the Slavs will make this
fact so apparent to the allied world that none of the nations
concerned will dare to stop short of that ultimatum.

Senator King of Utah told one of the congressional COM
mittees the other day that while the German-American alliance
has ostensibly been officially disbanded, it is still, in parts,
continuing its underground existence. And it is carrying on
it's underground activities at the same time. In some places
it operates under the name of "The Society for the Furtherance
of Education and Freedom" for education and freedom may
mean. one thing to one set of fellows and another to another
set, and in the name of an Association for the Furtherance of
Democracy" there may be carried on a propaganda for the
kaiser-for all sorts of receptions have been practiced in this
country by the men who are devoted to the kaiser. They are
like the snake of tradition, when cut in two the parts wiggle
along separately and eventually come together again. This ia
bled idea of the snake seems to apply in actuality to some of
these propaganda organizations.
We trust that what the Utah senator reported is not ex-
actly true, but it is just as well to be forewarned. The time has
not yet come when we can afford to let up on the work of
stirring up things Americanly. We in this country are apt to
be careless, we are such optimists. When a few heads have
merely been ducked we think the storm is over, when in
reality it may not be over. What deception has been practiced
on us has been shown by that man Viereck who, after the dec
laration of war changed the name of his propaganda sheet from
the Fatherland to something like the American Weekly. but
he did the same work under one name as under the other. and
he was the paid agent of the same masters. And it now de-
velops that he is a relative of the kaiser by a morganatc mar
raige, according to his own admission.

TAXES ON WAR PROFITS

President Wilson cannot do everything, but he tries to
keep track of everything that is done to win the war. Accord
ing to reports from Washington, he is following very closely
the revision of the war revenue bill by the house ways and
means committee. The president is said to be in favor of a
tax on war profits instead of the confusing tax on excess pro-
fits which treasury officials cannot interpret. Comparisons of
methods and results seem to have convinced the president that
the English system of taxing war profits is more equitable and
yields better returns than the confusing war revenue bill
enacted by congress last year.
war profits have a definite meaning and their amount can
be ascertained with ease and certainty. Any manufacturer
can go ahead without fear of bankruptcy when assured that
his war profits will be taxed after he has gathered them in.
II the government takes 80 per cent of them, as the British
government has been doing, he will not be ruined. He will be
taxed on what he makes out of the war, and he will not be
favored or Disseminated against on account of the nominal
amount of capital invested in the business.
HIGH men and large corporations are willing to pay war
taxes. All they ask is that taxation shall be equitable and that
the rate and mode of collection shall be simple and easily I'M
Idestood. They realize that if we lose this war they will share
in the countrys ruin, so from material as well as patriotic mo-
hves, they cheerfully do their bit. When prices are high,
strong, wel1-organized concerns make large profits. To en-
able weaker and newly established concerns to add to the pro-
'ductlon OF war materials and supplies prices must be gener-
Those who make large war profits return most of them
to the government in the form Of taxes, while those who make
little money add their quota of products to the general stock,
and all that is asked of them is that they do their best. Pro-
duction is now more important than prices or taxes.

THE OFFICIAL SLACKERS

The New York Tribune is asking congress to repeal the
exemption from income taxes that now protects state and mu-
nicipal office holders. Congress should lose no time in an
nuIing," says that paper, "the foolish discrimination which
segregates state, county and municipal officers into an invidi-
Gus and pampered class" The public will heartily endorse
that suggestion. The man who draws two or three thousand
dollars from a public treasury is as able to pay these taxes
as the maj who has to sweat over a desk or a trowel for less
money. There can be no excuse for making preferred men
out of those who have been elected or appointed to some Of
flee. The office is seldom thrust upon them. 1t usually
comes as a result of much seeking. AS a concrete example of
stacking" it hasn't its parallel in all the records of all the
exemption boards of the Nation.

THE SUPREME SACRIFICE

There was a rumor afloat in GOldfield yesterday that be-
came this morning an accepted fact. And it brought the
shadow, strong and dark, into the brilliant sunshine of victory
that had frightened the face and cheered the heart of every
loyal American in the camp.
Maurice Bair has given his life that government of the
people for the people by the people" may not perish from the
earth. He was the first of the Goldfield boys who left us i'm
the great cause of liberty to meet death on the battle front.
He crossed the seas to fight for an ideal and rendered up his
life. Gentle of manner he was, but brave of heart, and the
quiet courage that sustained him is the quality that marks
and will mark in history the millions of Liberty's sons we are
sending to France.
The soul of "Maury' Bair is today with the God who gave
it as a rich gift to the world; the reward for his heroic sacri-
flee will endure with him through all eternity. Goldfield had
no better boy than "Maury" Bair.

THE GERMAN STATE OF MIND

Shortly before the war a naturalized American citizen, born
in Germany, visited his birthplace in the Rhineland after an
absence of twenty years. On his return to New York he said
he found everything changed in Germany. Those in authority
had become unbearably arrogant and every business man he
met talked of German domination of the markets of the world.
After the war began this German American felt certain that
Germany was invncible and would win no matter how numer-
Gus her foes might be. He had served in the army before COM
ing to America, and during his visit to his native land he had
seen the field maneuvers of the army of the Rhine and the
equipment prepared for war. He was able to see so much be-
cause he belonged to the Junker class and some OF his near
RELATIVES were officers of high rank.
This man saw clearly enough the growing arrogance of
his countrymen, but passing contact with them gave him the
impression that this arrogance was an evidence of power. He
saw the military machine in training and he believed that 1T
was invincible. Three months in Germany, after twenty years
in America, hypnotized him into this mental state. Like other
Germans, he was a passive recipient of impressions and he took
for granted what he saw and what others told him.
Iron discipline has nodded a passive Teutonic race into
rigid form. Germans have become brutal and sOulless under
the domination of a ruling class that talks of nothing but blood
and iron. Bismarck could talk that way, but he knew how far
ito go; and he fought one war and one nation at a time, as Fred
lerick the Great did a century before. Without such leader
iship the German emperor and his advisers perpetuated the
system and probably improved and strengthened the military
machine, but they lacked vision and became blind leaders of
the blind. Up to the present moment the German people, like
the visitor from America, have felt sure of their ability to con-
Iquer the world. Only overwhelming defeat can change that
state of mind.
With this growth of arrogance and confidence in their mil
itarv superiority has come the self delusion that the Germans
lead the world in literature, the arts, the sciences and inven-
ton. They hate and despise the Jews, but nine-tenths of the
men of German birth who have won distinction in music, lit
erature, arts and sciences have been Jews. Strike the names
of the Jews from the roll of Germany's distinguished sons, and
the Germans lack of initiative and originality becomes appar-
ent. They hide their failings behind a mask of assurance, but
when that is torn away their confidence goes with it. Iron dis
cipline holds them together. With Bismarck at the helm it ac-
r%Omplished wonders. When a megalomanlac steers the course,
shipwreck is sure to come, and then the lack of initiative will
make the ruin complete. What will follow when the dream of
military invincibilty is ended by the shock of defeat?

1t seems that the accomplished liar whom we knew in
this country as Boyd has written a book for his beloved
country to prove that the Americans are not doing and cannot
do what is being credited to them. He will not believe that
we have transported even 100000 Americans = and that is
more than the usual $4,000 allowed us. The German people
are so used to being lied to that no doubt they will believe
what they are told in this instance, as they have done in 9th
es.

has ordered an increase of 20 per cent in freight rates, and tina
is still Is 8 per cent less than we allowed over here. Blu
the American increase had to be made larger, we take 1T, be
cause we had compelled the railroads to do business at a los

make them do it, but we find, now that we have taken over,
that we have to make good what they suffered in the past

The man who attempts to cash in his war saving stamps
before they mature, unless starvation compens him to do so, is
nothing better than a Stacker and he might be even worse than
that. The government has asked you to lend that money not
for a day. but for five years. and while it is willing to help you
out of a pinch you ought to be sure that you are really pinched
before YOU ask for the refund of that money.

julius Rosenwald going to France for the Y. M. C. A. calls
out a few humorous paragraphs. But let us be thankful that
the Y M c. A. has broadened itself enough to include a man of
Julius race. Whatever we may have thought of such things
in the past we are not thinking of them much at present-God
himself thinks just as well of a Jew as he does of any other
man and the fact that a Jew may not be able to think as Billy
Sunday does will not make the least difference to the Al
mighty. It is only the kaisers who think that they have a spe-
cai claim on Gott-and then Colt seems to drop them for all
their claiming.

THE CARE OF GERMAN PRISONERS

The proposition to bring German prisoners to this coun-
try to facilitate the feeding of them has its drawbacks. When
it is over they will have to be forced on ships to be taken
back. What man of them would want to go back to that
nightmare called Germany? Many of the prisoners taken by
the American troops, we read, already have their hearts set
on America. They do not want to go back to Germany.
Once out of it and freed from the delusion instined in them
that the kaiser with the shriveled arm and the worst shriveled
soul is a divine" ruler over them, they soon see the horrors
of the system which they have upheld, but which has still
victimized them.
But, perhaps, we shall be a little chary of bestowing
American residence and citizenship on them. They will need
many reconstructions to begin with, and most of all to get out
of their stupid heads the idea that one can be an American
citizen and still be loyal to the kaiser and consider himself a
subject" Men who have been SO stupid as to follow a luna
tic like the kaiser-he cannot be regarded in any other light
must have something inherently the matter with them. Sens
IDLE men. sane men, sound men are not taken in by such
Authorizations. Nor could such sound men ever be made to
obey the commands of the lunatics who tell them to rape and
to murder. Any set of men who take such orders and carry
them out have something the matter with them, and it is
something so serious that likely it will take generations to get
it out of their systems. And SO, with it all, we are going to
be particular about whom we accept into our American life
out of the maelstrom that is still called Germany.

BOYS TO BE TRAINED IN COLLEGES

The boys and young men, not yet drafted, who want to
prepare themselves for duties that may devolve on them, should
this war continue long enough, should HE their ways to the
colleges. The government wants every young man to attend
to his schooling, for the welfare of the future depends also to
some extent upon the proper education of the men of the fu-
ture. The study of text books must not be interrupted.
But realizing that many young men would be restless in
school without it, the government is going to assign military
instructors to all colleges. The young men of proper ages will
be assembled for drill regularly and they will receive class
sary. and if they have the talent to command.
This is a wise decision. 1t will help to keep young men
in colleges, where they belong, and it will help to prepare them
for what may devOlve on them SO soon as they are old enough.
Germany is fast creating precedents with which she VIII
have to reckon in the end. She has induced the Bolshevik gov
eminent of Russia to cede the Thurman coast to Finland against
the wishes of the northern Russians. Her object is to drive
Finland into the war against the entente allies, though the
Firms are opposed to war. If Germany is beaten her treat
ment of Russia will create precedents for deprlvlng her OF ter
ritory. The allies may see fit to hand over to Denmark the
provinces taken from her by Prussia in 1864, which would de-
stroy the military value of the Kel canal. If Germany, as
victor, can carve up Russia and Rumania, her foes, if they win,
will be able to claim a similar right to cut up the four cOun-
tries in the Teutonic alliance along racial lines. This would
disintregate Austria Hungary and reduce Germany to i'm
potence. If the Russians help themselves Germany will soon
be forced to her knees.

GUARD CLOTHES FROM
THE PREDATORY MOTH

The, surest way to protect clothing
from damage by moths during storage is
to rid them of all moth, eggs, or larvae
by beating, brushing and airing, and then
to seal them up so that no more moths
will have access to them, says Miss Ethel
Phelps of tie home economics division
of the University of Minnesota. Pack
ages closed by means Of strips of paper
pasted over the joints are safer than
packages tied with string. Large bags
Of heavy or tarred paper can be pur-
chased which may be sealed tight. Bags
made of heavy cotton cloth and sewed
up on the machine will also be moth
proof. Such receptacles will provide
safe storage space for the summer II
there are no moths in the garments when
they are put away. Nothing will prevent
moths already present from developing
at the expense of the garment.
Ali wool or fur clothing not protected
in moth-proof bags should be aired in

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE.
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old-time Recipe that Any,
body can Apply. T.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grand1nother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. .-s".
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle Of 'eWyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients, which Gamble depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair. Q y
A wel1-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful
appearance. It Is not intended for
the cure. mitigation or prevention Of
disease.
