As soon as tae disagrseable ram was
hit on the nose by the !ollypop. as |
mentioned in the last story. he stuck
IL in mis- mouth. just like pipe, you
know. and winked at Uncle Lucky,
and this made the old gentleman rab-
bit laugh and forget all about the
broken lamp. which Mr.. Ram had
knocked of the Lucisynobile, you re
member. And Just then tinker came
by with a basketful of tinware.
"Heiioa, there" cried Uncle Lucky
Can you mend an automobile lamp
Dunno said the tinker. and he
picked up the lamp and looked 1t over
carefully. and then he screwed IL on
the Juckynobiie and mended the cleo
triclty wire. and after that he Sal
down and took out his fountain pen
and n piece OF paper. and pretty soon
he had bill for dear Uncle Lucky.
You give that bill TO Mr.. RAM said
the old gentleman rabbi. He Knocked
off the lamp: / didn't"
Gracious me-" said Mr.. Ram. Il
left my money at home
'tOh. well. them" said Uncle Lucky.
IN pay the tinkerrhan and you can
pay me afterward." and he handed the
tin pan man lettuce leaf dollar bill
And after that he wrote on the bill
with his fountain pen:
Paid Tim Tinkerman.''
Next time you come by this way
III have the money ready for YOU.
said Mr.. Ram. So Uncle Lucky drove
away and by and by he said to Billy
Bunny, 1T seems to me We ought TO
make eail on the little monkey who
ran away from the cruel hand organ

Bohemian Pro.e.. to Harding.

Dear Governor: While in Chicago
have heard q your order which for
bids among otter things the use OF any
other language but English IN public
gatherings. AS an Iowa citizen. as
member of the Iowa Bar Association
and other Iowa bodies. and az one en-
gagged in work aimed at achieving
complete defeat of the central powers,
may ! be permitted to call your atten-
lion 20 the fact that such measure may
result. in distinct impairment Of our
national morale?
y, myself have made dozens q patri-
otto speeches IN Iowa in the Bohemian
language. Under your order assuming
It's validity, am now prohibited from
doing so.
The Bohemian people OF Iowa have
held innumerable meetings TO accelerate
the sale of liberty bonds. These meet
ings were addressed in the Bohemian
language. Your order would make i'm
possible such meetings Our French
allies under the order could not address

Mint Somebody?

II is easy enough to shout we are
going to win; of course we are; any
body who suggests possibility Of our
losing il a traitor" etc, etc: they are
heartentnR words and We like to hear
them: but how are we going to win?
That IL what we want to know.
Suppose the frightful business con-
tinues, as probably it must. for several
years or even for one year and the sit
uat!on remains substantially unchang-
ed. the allies having drawn from Amer
lea and the enemy rrom RUSSIA in
about equal proportions and then Ger
many suddenly proposes to turn back
all she has won in the west and to keep
only what she has won in the east.
what are we going to reply, What IS
stricken France going to feel and even
perhaps say! What. England: What.
the people of America! What-and
this is the gravest question Of all
President Wilson, What ourselves. for
that matter? We simply do no know
and can not foresee. But we do realize
that the peril Of having to face suoh
a situation IL not only, as we have de-
clared. immense, but even perhaps far
more imminent than we imagine. II u
something therefore. that we should
begin to think OF and to prepare for,
with the utmost seriousness.
Is il not probable that the time win
come when we shall have to determine
how much Of the worlds obligation to
civilization we of this generation are
bound in honor to assume and how
much we are warranted in passing to
our successors?
That surely Is the way we are drift
ing. So far as Is known,-and informa-
ton to the contrary. il there be any, in
variably leaks out,-neither our allies
nor ourselves have formulated any
plans Tor actually winning the war. We,
are simply expecting Germany to lie
down. We have not even a great policy
in common, except as TO defensive
fighting IN France. Great Britain. per-
ceiving the danger of such situation
as we have indicated arising, is eager
to put Japan into Russia to head of
German mobilization of the mighty
man power OF that distracted and
PROSTATE country. but President Will
son refuses assent upon the ground
that to do 80 might induce somebody
10 suspect the SINCERITY oi our IeCidtu-
tons that We seek no conquests.
Who that somebody IS Heaven alone
knows. II can not be any ane of the
allies; that is certain. II may of course
be Mexico. but we hardly think SO.
Probably 1t is Germany or Turkey or
both--onr Anniversaries. as Mr.. Baker
sws etly calls them. In any case. the.
United States objects to and actually
prevents the prosecution of the war in
the east after the manner deemed Iaost
advisable. IL not indeed absolutely es-
sentiai by our associates" We do not
maintain that the president may not
have satisfactory reasons for pursuing
this course, but we do insist that ne
assumes tremendous responsibility II.
as Mr.. Creel informs us, he does so
merely to preserve appearances in the
eyes of anybody who might pretend to
mistrust our fnotiseS-North American

THE CASE OF GENERAL WOOD.

fDuhuqpe Times Journal
General Wood Is under the dis
pleasure of the president and MI
Baker because General Wood had an
intelligent understanding OF the
and secretary did, because General
Wood IS a big man and presidential
possibility, because General Wood
knows Infinitely more about the army
and about war than the president and
secretary. because General Wood adj
vocated preparedness when the presi-
dent refused TO prepare and said the
people were getting historical. Those
are pretty poor reasons for President
Wilson and Secretary Baker TO be OPP
posed TO General Wood. but they are
tire only reasons one can think OF. Mr..
Eaker offers no reasons at all.
General Wood has been called for by
our allies He Is the most experienced
general we have II was expected he
would he utilized at the front. but
year ago Re was disciplined by the
president and little Mr. Baker and sent
TO an unimportant pest. Then ne was
transferred 10 Fort Riley where he
trained what is said 70 be the crack
division Of the national army. He
passed the physical examination and
expected naturally 10 80 abroad with
MS men. Now another cowerdly blow
has been struck him.
The president does rot like to give
big men a chance to serve. The ap-
pointr1ent Of every big man 10 big
Job has been forced upon the president
by popular cIamor. Only Monday the
president said that Politics e ac-
1ourncd." and the same day he resorts
to politics at the expense OF the well
fare of the people and the safety OF
our army.

SHOW ENORMOUS GAINS
Figures Submitted TO Congress Dis
close Increases Of From $8,-
81 to S73O,OOO.
MANY JUMP 10000 PER CENT
Secret Records OF Treasury Depart
mcnt Prove Astounding Statements
Made to Members of House Dy
Chairman KitChin.

WASHINGTON. September s.-Chair-
man kitchin. OF tho Ways and Means
Committee. opened the debate on tho
$4,000, 100000 revenue bill to-day by
giving to the House some startling
figures showing how personal incomes
in the United States have swollen since
the war.
The figures were taken at random
from the secret records of the Treasury
Department. Names OF the individual Is
concerned could not be given, but the
long list of incomes which have jumped
10000 per cent and more In the years
from 1914 to 1917. covered many type
written pages. Chairman Kitchin read
only few OF them.
1T might produce spirit OF Boil
shevism in the United States IL read
too many OF them" he explained.
Mr.: kitchin read the list partly TO
justify the committees action In i'm
posing heavy supertaxes on ali incomes
IN excess of 100000 year. He cx-
nlained that the rates agreed upon ny
the committee are larger tnan those IN
any country OF the world. whereas the
much lower than those imposed by
Great Britain or France

the big increase in personal income

In the matter OF the Incomes C.: ;1a
Pr sident, super :ntendent and treasurer
or q large pipe manufacturing concer u.
In 1914 the income Of the president
OF this company. according to his In
come tax return. was sS.3tl; in 1917 it
was $4,000: the Superintendent's
income jumped from s43i7 in 1914. to
S'2o.O00 in 1917; and the treasurer's
income was raised from $3.50 to s7lj.-
37a.
Members OF the House evinccd con-
siderable interest In the reading Of the
hSures. Representative Cannon. Of
Illinois. inquired whether a great many
OF the persons whose incomes increased
in this fashion had not heen privileged
to get war contracts from the govern
ment. Mr.. kitchin replied:
Il would make guess that prob
ably most OF these individuals making
these enormous increases in profits A
large majority o. them. at least. had
directly or indirectly. n war contract.
That is why we want to put the in
come taxes high enough to get them"
In response to another question. Mr..
Kitchin said ne was unable to give the
number OF Americans enjoying incomes
over 100000 but that the num-
ber OF incomes OF $4,000 and up
which increased 1917 over 1916, was
very. much greater than the number
between $1,000 and $1,000 which snow
any increase.
