Opinion is divided as TO whether or
not the courts will sustain the In.
core tax on the salary Of the presi-
dent and federal judges. Some very
ridiculous arguments we're made about
this tax. For instance, II was claimed
that the independence Of the execu-
tive and judiciary were endangered
by It as an adverse congress could tax
them into submission An adverse
congress desiring to coerce the execu'
tive or judiciary by such means could
tine shorter cut by refusing to appro-
rriate the salaries Of these officials.

either the executive or the judiciary
% any extent II Is quite likely the
people would dlspIace that congress

The growth of the use Of drugs and
opiates is likely to figure largely In the
coming campaign for ami against the
adoption of the national prohibition
amendment. Congressman Meeker OF
Missouri made an allusion to the sub.
iect in the house and at the same time
had printed in the Record a mass OF
medical data showing that alcohol
moderately used was not harmful, but
necessary in some cases. At the same
time 1t is doubtful II arguments like

Probably the most astounding thing
the Germans of higher intelligence
have encountered Is the manner
in which this country has gone
Into war. They never believed II was

Just why they could not bark back to
Civil war days and see how a divided
nation raised two armies Of great fight

they did not believe this country would

The belief is growing that gov
eminent ownership of railroads, anO
Of the telegraphs and telephones
as well, has come to stay. While
there may be many arguments fol
and against the policy. the most
potent factor will be the votes OF q
100000 men employed in the railroad
service whose wages have been In
creased since the government took
over the roads. II Is true that the In
creases did not come out OF the reve-
nues of the railroads, but are made up
out Of the federal treasury. No one
knows better than these railroad en-
ployees that to return the railroads to
private control and management will
mean reduction Of their wages; the
feet that the wage Increases come out
OF the treasury rather than the earn.

fication to the railroad men as to what

600 railroad men will vote to have the
I-operties remain under government
control; they will vote for men who
will favor government ownership.
II is quite likely that the owners of
the properties will also be satisfied &c
have the government continue In con-
troll. The, are now guaranteed the

One of the prominent government OF
ficlals told story the other day which
is worth repeating. An old colored
man whom the official knew had 800
Liberty bond which some one wanted
to buy from him for 500. But the old
darby was wise. Why, he asked, should
he give up one promise Of the United
States government to pay him $lOC
with interest in exchange for the same
governments promise to pay him 500
without interest? II everybody who
purchases a Liberty bond would stor

time popularized himself with those

Because somewhere in the nelghbor-
hood Of $4,000 physicians have wholly
or partially withdrawn from private
practice to engage In war work, the
public health service has appealed to
our people to remember that taking
care OF themselves Is one way of ex-
pressing patriotism. 0ne-third of the
men registered under the first draft
we're rejected for physical disability,
and In a majority Of these cases the
csuse of rejection was some easily
preventable or durable defect.

Besides making things hum ut the

45,OO0O00 tons Of coal can be saved
yearly by proper building and adjust
ment Of fires. and this without the as
slstance Of any miraculous agencies.
Anything that will save 100000 tons
of coal for the United States is doing

MEN RESPOND CHEERFULLY
War Draws Attention to the Fact
That Thousands Of Citizens Of Alien
Birth Do Not Understand the Eng.
lIsh Language.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN

"ashington.-General Crowder and
MS assistants In the provost marshars
once are having less difficulty in put.
ing the new draft In operation than
{hey anticipated. Experience with the
nrsi draft has been of great benefit.
Inc machinery is in good working or
uer and the men Of the country have
responded creditably to this demand
upon them for more man power. One
feature has been added which is ex.
pected to be of great assistance. This
IS the creation of legal advisory
boards to aid the local boards in the
determination Of questions arising un-
uef the draft law. II is expected that
the advice of the legal boards will
save a lot of time at this end of the
line.
Probably the most gratifying cir
cumstance In connection with the new
draft is the cheerful response of the
men. The provost marshal general
does not expect as much difficulty In
regard to slackers as In the first draft.
The whole country has grown more
patriotic as the war has progressed.

War has taught the lesson that more
attention should be given to imml-
giants In the future. When It is found
that thousands upon thousands Of men
OF alien birth but who have become
American citizens and been drafted
into the army, are get unable to under
stand the language of the country, 1t
means that there has been a faulty sys-
ton somewhere. These men could not
understand the orders given them, nor
did they understand why they were
called into military service. Hereaf-
ter Ii would be well to see that imml-
grants are taught the English Ian
gunge, or at least that they should be
compelled to learn II when they be-
come citizens. 1t might be well also
to see to 1t that the aliens living in
this country should become citizens,
or leave II. We have found a much
too large alien population as a result
of the draft law.
