have silenesd all objection. but the
country. in the absence Of debate, woald
not have understood the measure, and
might net have Endorsed the eenate's
action In hurrying It to q vote.
The Senate finally passed the bill, but
only after it had been explained by its
senatorial sponsor. The country today,
owing to the debate, stands informed on
the subject. Nothing has been "tut
over" in a corner, or in the dark; and
if the House also Endorses the measure
thing thought to be certain-no COM
plant as to undue haste will lie.
No spirit Of filibuster or delay respect
ing any war measure has thus far been
exhibited in either house Of Congress.
On the contrary. the leaders Of both
parties have worked together to promote
as prompt action as the occasions have
required. And great deal has been
done. Much more remains to be done,
and some of it is now being presented
for consideration. And all Of it should
be considered under rules of liberal dis.
cussion and fair play. Give the minor
ity day in court.

Sedition.

"Three cheers for the ex-conyict,"
cried youth Of draft age yesterday at
4 meeting Of the peoples Council" in
Now York when a man who has been
indicted for sedition in Canada and
served his term arose to speak. The
"ex-convict" told his hearers, touching
upon the sedition law which is just now
in final stage Of enactment by Congress,
that they should let no law interfere
with the purpose on which they have
set their minds. He urged them to
unity their forces and assured them that
when they have done so they csn say to
the government, "Go ahead and pass your
measures and we won't pay any atten-
ton to them"
There was much more Of the same
sort from the Canadian "ex. convict" and
from others, the latter of supposed al
legiance to the United States. At one
of the meetings Of the peoples Coun-
ell" variety, held in the afternoon, Scott
Nearing, who is under the hand of the
law at present for questionable activi-
ties, warned his hearers to carry their
propaganda literature in their hand bag
gage for distribution, as it would soon
be impossible under the new law to use
the mails.
One of the meetings, apparently that
addressed by the Canadian, declared that
the scdition bill, "next to the German
autocracy, constitutes the greatest dan
ger to this country" and any form Of
government under which the act can be
enforced is not a democracy, but
tyranny.
All this sort Of thing is the best pos
sible justification for the enactment of
the law which is apparently about to
be written on tho statute books. It is
evident that if not eurbed by more spe.
cifc laws the anti-war, ultra-bo3shevik
and pro-German pacifsts will continue
their agitations to undermine the popu-
lar support Of the government. They
cannot be reached by existing statutes.
They have become expert in just dodg-
ing the law in their speeches. Yet they
are dangerous in their influence. If
this law now about to be put into ef-
feet is properly enforced it will be i'm
possible for Canadian ex-convicts and
American should.be convicts to preach
sedition in the very heart of our cities
and escape punishment.

shall have to revise our tariff schedules
in many respects, not only for protec-
tive reasons, but to increase our means
for meeting the bills Of war and the
prospective greatly increased expendi-
lures Of peace"
Here was sensible reminder Of what
not only American business men, but all
other men with stake in America,
should be taking into account. The war
will have an end, and when the end
comes readjustments Of every kind
everywhere will be imperative. With
US they promise to be far-reaching.
Taxation touches the pocket nerve-a
very sensitive nerve. When that is
touched the body polite tingles. It is
being touched now in the interests Of
the war. It will be touched later in pro-
viding for peace.
Mr.. Sabin is prepared to surrender his
free trade views to the changes the war
is making. He sees the growing neces-
sity for protective tariff. not only for
uses it served in the past, but for new
uses. We shall need for the new times
such a tariff for distinctly revenue pur-
poses. The government will need a great
deal Of money for its support, and not
all of it can be raised with fairness or
safety by direct assessments.
The income tax has come to stay, but
must be assessed cquitably. The war
profits tax will pass with the war. And
the protective tariff, in some form, is
coming hack.

Postwar conditions are beginning to

cannot, Of course, b accurately fore

German for "Tauk,"

British reports indicate that the new
German tanks, recently put into opera
ton on the Ypres front, have proved in
effective, being heavy and clumsy, be-
sides failing in mechanical action at
critical times. It is now plain why this
is the case. A document taken from a
German prisoner gives the information
that the official name Of the Teutonic

tank by any other -ame would be a
liveiier and more efficient weapon Of

The Biggest Popular Loan.

While waiting for the exact totals of
the third liberty loan, which cannot be
computed for several days, it is inspir-
ing to note the fact that in point of
personal contribution this third sub
scription to the national funds is by far
the most successful of the war series.
1t is estimated that not less than H.
00o. 900 individuals took bonds. or, as
the Treasury states, more than one in
six persons in the. country. Truly. this
was an outpouring of the peoples
money.
The first loan was subscribed to by
about 100000 persons, and the second
by 100000. Thus the third subscrip-
ton came from more individuals than
the subscribers to the first and second
combined, as many more, indeed, as the
total of tho first loan. This means that
the people Of the United States are
arousing to the fact that VIC are at war
and that the war calls for sacrifices, and
that it must be waged to a victorious
conclusion.
Especially gratifying is the fact that
the warmest response to the invitation
to subscribe to the third loan came from
the middle west. That section of the
country led in the reckoning from the
beginning. Mississippi valley cities
won honor flags by the score before
eastern cities approached their quotas.
Two of the valley federal reserve dis
tricts led the roll throughout the cam
paign. Yet this was the section that
earlier in the American participation
was reported to be slack in its appre-
citation Of the national necessity. It is
surely wide awake now and leading in
practical patriotism.
Another fact Of especial importance
in this third loan 10 that the banking
institutions contributed comparatively
. small percentage Of the amount. Had
they bought bonds to the came extent
- in the first and second loans the total
would have been fully Eve billions in.
stead Of approaching four. This means
that the resources Of the banks have
bsen conserved for later subscriptions,
it such are needed-and there is every
prospect Of additional loans. They are
also available for the heavy income tax
and excess profits tax payments, due six
weeks hence.
Locally, there 10 every reason for con.
graduation, whether or not We won the
double-honor star on the flag. A record.
breaking percentage Of the people of this
community subscribed to the loan, and
the total is estimated at figure that
passes all past performances. When
the final showing is made Washington
will be found to have dons its part in
the third loan in q manner command
ing national appreciation, considering
the absence Of large industrial establish.
ments and great concentrated wealth.
The Een-and the women especially
who worked in this third campaign for
war funds are entitled to the warnest
thanks Of the city.
