PRESIDENT AND WAR TAXES.

In his eloquent and moving speech TO
Congress on the taxation program, Mr..
Wilson rested his appeal on three main
contentious. II il necessary to incrense
the taxes heavily IN order that taxation
shall meet its share in the heavily increased
war expenditure Of the next twelve months.
The people. fully recognizing that our war
program must be pushed with greater and
greater energy. and that they must pay
Tor IT, will begrudgc no fair end Just in
crease IN taxation. But the people who
pay the taxes. the Treasury which col
lecis them, and tho banks which lend the
money 10 anticipate their collection
ought to have sufficiently long notice OF
what the taxes are to be, in order that
their own individual plan, regarding their
income Of 1918. on which those taxes will
very largely be based, may be properly
adjusted to the burden.
In none of these three positions is there
ground Tor controversy or dispute. In
so far ms the Presidents appeal WAS
an answer TO the Congressional dislike
OF icvying increased taxes on the eve of a
Congressional election. the argument is
conclusive. If il is not in all respects an
answer to the contention that hasty
I Legislation on the matter, without thor
ough examination Of the exact amount Of
expenditure which must be covered in
the coming fiscal year by both loans and
taxes, might do mischief, that is the fault
Of Congress itself Possibly il ia n fault
which can be rcmcdied
The President indicated clearly the
twofold nature Of the task which lies be
fore Congress in this legislation First
he points out tina, "the present tax laws
are married by inequtles which ought to
be rcmcdicd' next, he sets forth that
the taxation must bc fair, equitably dis
tributed, and Of the widest Incidence y;
adding that, IN his Judgment, we shall
naturally turn to war profits and incomes
and Injuries for the additional taxes"
The two suggestions bear on one another.
In the existing law the taxes were not
eqtmtahly distributed because, nv most
unhappy patchcd-up compromise IN the
last hours of n weary conference commit
tee, the principle of taxing war profits
was extricablr confused with the prin-
Ciplc of taxing all profits above a confused
ly predetermined ratio They were not
taxes Of the widest incidence, because
broad field Of luNirles was hardly touched
IN the excise schedules. Such salient in
justices as the placing on earned incomes
OF individuals a heavy additional tax from
" hlCh unearned incomes were exempted,
and doing il under the unworthy subter-
fugc that excess profits were being tax

SUGAR FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

An Italian medical scientist is said to
have discovered a new and promising
treatment for tuberculosis lie is Prof
I,ommonaco. director Of the University
Of the Chemco-Physioloqcal Institute
IN Rome II is not a discovery due TO the
war. for he has been experimenting with it
for y wears. but the war has gwen him
ample opportunity TO test his method
because many Of the Italians returning
from German prisons are victims Of the
disease
The remedy he uses IS sugar II is
not given as food but preparation
OF II is administered IN the form Of in
jections, and though no particulars are

lection Of glucose preparations prevent

The method is now being used at the front
and acute symptoms disappear after three

stages Of the disease are Immediately

THE FUTURE LIFE.

The great war has brought to the
front the thought of death and future
life. The old question of Job comes
again with fervor and force, ''If a man
die shall he live again." 1t is the universal
problem, and it is fast being answered in
the affirmative. The courage, the sacrifice.
the devotion that attend death on the
battlefield are the most precious things in
the world, and surely the soul that carries
them there will not disappear in gloom,
never to live again.
There is grander idea Of death getting
hold of mems minds The soul can and
will live without the body, and that is be-
coming the popular belief. The finest
poetry of the day speaks of the dead as
still living in nobler form. The finest
displays OF eloquenoe now come when the
beautiful future of the soul is told
Who can believe that the finest courage
and sacrifice end with the loving achieve
ment and the soul steps across into obliv-
ion and gloom? 1t is against nature to
believe that. 1t is against the faith
Of the soul. The war will not only bring

Memorial Day.

Today is Memorial Day, an occasion
devoted to rendering homage to tho heroes
dead and living, of our Civil War. To
those who are still with us we pay our
need of reverence and respect. To those
who have passed away, and whose
remains repose in honored graves, we
pay the passing tribute of sigh, ;"
and lay the roses of membranes upon
their resting places.
Small. indeed, are the numbers of those
veterans of notable conflict who are
still with us. None is below the limit Of
three score years and ten, and most of
them are beyond it. Their physical
strength is diminishing and they do not
march with the martial tread and vigorous
demeaner Of tho days when they were
with the armies of the country, fighting
for the preservation of the Union. Soon
they will take their departure for the
great beyond.
But while they are still with us we
will not fail TO extend to them the full
measure of our respect and admiration

The Pack Still Snarling.

The personal newspaper organs OF
Senator Salisbury in this State continue
their concerted snappings and snarlings
at Every Evening, for what purpose 1t
y difficult TO conceive Certainly, Every
Evening has offered no opposition 10
Senator Saulsbury's denomination, has
urged no candidate against him. The main
reference made BY this paper to the situa-
ton was a protest against the astounding
assumption by the Senator's newspaper
organs that il would be disreputable and
undemocratic for any Delaware Demo
crat other than Senator Salisbury TO
aspire to the honor Of the senatorial nom

provocation to the entire pack to open a

Such an assumption IS absolutely wrong.

Every Evening claimed 10 be an organ
Of the Democratic party or Of any other

For Schools and Roads.

After the first of July the State income
tax will be colcctible in Delaware. This
tax is an innovation, and no doubt will

PAYERS thereof TO the annoyance Of their

i'm this manner: First, $3.50, 600 To the
