The circus. in its magnitude and
stitution. It is q bridge of dreams,
covering the chasm between childhood
and old age. It is likened to a land
Of enchantment, where fairies dance
on the backs Of pracing steeds and
where knights and ladies disport
themselves in purple gowns.
The circus is recreation for all
classes. Age cannot dim or custom
stale its variety. Wealth nor poverty
can destroy its magnif1cence. Neither
can fine raiment or homespun cloth
mitigate its joys. Seated side by side
the youngsters of'the rich are just as
delighted and can obtain no more en-
joyment than ,the penniless orphan,
and the feats of horsemanship, thrill
ling aerial acts and brilliant humor
of the clowns fall alike upon eager
eyes and ears.
Greater wonder by far than all the
curiosities and. the performance of
the circus is the really marvellous,
~stupendous. system which governs
every element of its organization and
makes possible its smooth and certain
operation upon such a gigantic scale.
especially is this 80 with the great

Beneath the pomp and glitter Of its
tinseled life, amidst the odor of saw
dust and. naptha there is a system Of
government whose scope and magni-

institution more perfect in operation
and detail. There is a popular mis-
apprehension regarding the circus.

What would become of our flag?

You say his girl could'n stand it
To see him off with the rest;
Don't you think she would be glad if

When she feels the Germans hot
breath on her breast?
Think of the women of Belgium;
Of the cruelties they had to bear.
Do you want the same thing to hap

To your innocent daughter so fair?
You can thank God that the stars in
Old Glory
Are not blurred by that kind of
stains,
Because there are ten million rough
necks
That have red blood in their veins
They go to drill in bad weather
And come in with a grin on their
face
While your darling sits in the parlor
And lets another man fight in his

But we fight as our forefathers did
So go warm the milk for his bottle !;

Dear Dad:
l just received your letter Septem-
Der 9th and was awful glad to get it,
altho | was not pleased with all you
said about going to register and get
in the service. | don't see why you
should be so anxious to be here, and
for your being so anxious to do your
bit. You can do more out of the
army than you can in it. There is
enough of us over here to win this
war now, and believe me we are win
ming this war We have all got good
hopes to be home by the first of the
year. | expect you people are all
thinking that it is over now, but /
don't think that it will be over before
Christmas, if then. The boys on the
front have sure been doing some
wonderful work. | know, for we
have been right behind them in all of
the drives in the last two months. |
finally found the old Camp Funston
boys, and the first thing that heard
was that poor old Pup had got
knocked off and had planned on see
ing him so much and just what he
would say. The next | saw was my
old company and what there was of
the old bunch was sure glad to see
me and all wished that | was with
them. | wasn't so anxious as they
were. The next was old Dutch He
was digging fire place to cook on
with a helmet and a big chew of to-
bacco and about weeks growth of
whiskers on his face, and when |
spoke to him he looked up and said,
"Well, if. it amt old Pearley," and
we didn't say much else for few
minutes, just looked at one another,
and he said the next thing, "Have you
heard about Pup" Let me tell you
again, stay out of the army. You are
doing your bit out better than you
could in.
| gave Dutch all the letters / had
received from Ward Stout in the last
two months. Tell Mrs. George that
/ just missed seeing Harold, but saw
some of the boys from his company
and they said that he was looking
good and getting along fine, and |
gave the boys my address and told
him to write. >,
Well, Dad, l must quit for tonight

BIGGER AND BETTER TAXES.

Now that Congress has settled down
TO serious consideration of the taxa
ton problem, there is reason to hope
that we shall have tax legislation
worthy of the time and occasion. The
present intention is to rewrite the
present revenue act, doing away with
its confusion and inequalities. There
will be a single comprehensive and,
let us hope, Ineligible law, instead of
one crude law superinmposed on
another to the perpleXity and despair
of taxpayer and tax collector alike.
This simplification in itself will be
great gain il the work is well done.
still more important is the elimination
of oversights and injustices inherent
i'm the present system. Nobody APP
parently is to be taxed more lightly,
but those who have heretofore escap-
ed their due obligation will be taxed
more heavily The s per cent surtaX
on certain kinds of earned incomes
will remain, and the rate on other in
comes will be leveled up with it. In
the case of unearned incomes a still
higher rate may be imposed. Corpor-
atoms that have escaped paying eX-
cess profits taxes through the device
of over-capitalization and n nominally
low rate of income will be taxed ac-
cording to their earnings on actual
investment.
"Profiteering' in general will be
handled without gloves; Congress may
tax war profits nearly as high an Eng
land. which collects so per cent As
much as so or 90 per cent of our larg-
est personal incomes may be taken.
Congress has an unusual opportun-
ity to do a big. statesmanlike job. Its
progress will be watched with inter
est by nation which is willing to pay
any number of billions to win the war,
provided the taxes are apportioned
wisely and equitably,

WAR, A LEVELER
IN ALL SENSES

The arrest, trial, conviction and SEN
tence of a young man in Syracuse, n.
Y. for idling in war time, has peculiar
interest as marking the first pro-
nounced and clear-cut case of the
kind under the anti-loafing law in the
state named He had committed no
offense in an ordinary sense. He was
not vagrant. for he had money. The
new statute, however, had made him
an offender, subject TO penal correc-
ton. in that he was performing no
useful labor at a time when the indus
tries of the country, as well as the
army and navy, were in great need OF
man power. This young man said he
had never worked. did not find it ne
cessary to work; in fact, would not
work. But he will work, neverthe-
less. since he was sentenced TO six
months at hard labor in the county
penitentiary The possession Of
visible means of support formerly
excused this type of idler. He could
fritter his time away while the pen
niless loafer was constantly liable TO
arrest for vagrancy War is a leveler
in more senses than one.-Christian
Science Monitor.

TANES VS.. LOANS.

Germany has raised less than per
cent OF her war expenses from taxa
ton. The war is thus almost entirely
financed by mortgaging her national
resources. The mortgage already
amounts to about half her wealth.
Italy has raised l. per cent of her
war cost by taxation and the rest by
loans France has raised about 10
per cent by taxation, and Great Brit
ain nearly 20 per cent
The United States proposes to raise
no less than 40 per cent by taxation.
The war budget for next year is es-
timated at S24,O0o,00OO00 Deducting
$4,000. 100000 for loans to our allies,
we have an actual expenditure of S1S,-
O0O.OO0,000. of which Congress expects
10 raise SS.0000O0,OO0 by taxes and
the rest by bond issues. OF this S.,
OO0.000.00o about $1,000 100000 is to
come from war profits and incomes
The total budget is beyond any ex-
penditure ever made by any nation.
The sum of SS.00O,000000 is far more
than anybody ever dreamed of col
lecting from any people by taxation
in one year. But there is no question
of our being able to pay that much
out of our current income. without
Gripping our industry and finance.
1t is sound policy. too. We shall be
glad of it when the war is over, and
we find that we have already paid

THE FIGHTING AGE.

they seem young, those boys of 81
who are now registered for military
service We know, if we have looked
into the matter, that they are really
mature men compared with boys who
formed the bulk of our Civil War
Armies. Still, we tend to regard them
think il "a pity that they should be
obliged so soon TO undergo the hard
ships of military life.
That is a very mistaken view. ASK
any well-informed physician when a
man is at the height of his physical
powers. Ask any practical psycholo-
gist when a man is best fitted mental
ly for the lighting business. ASK any
philosopher Ask any student of his
tory. They will tell you that at just
about his twenty-frst year a man has
combination of fighting powers un-
equaled before or after
II is the football age the age when
men make their records in athletics.
There is bodily strength, nervous en-
ergy ability to recuperate quickly.
There is a spirit Of competition, a love
of adventure There is a disregard of
consequences that comes partly from
the natural vigor of youth and partly
from the fact that the man has not yet
assumed SOLDERING responsibilities. He
is seldom hampered by family ties or
business obligations. He has not yet
taken fixed place in the world of
people and work. He is free, with a
love of combat and a matchless equip
ment for combat.
It is the lighting age par excellence.
You who are older don't pity those
lads as they march off to the war.
They are better men than you are for
the work i'm hand, and they will have
the time of their lives doing it.
