eventually for peace.
1.-THE demand being possibly
a ruse to permit the regrouping
of the enemy's forces and the

made the following answer,
sending by the carrier of the

in the present military situa-
ton:
Il can grant neither an

Nevertheless. I will re-
ceive with all suitable courtesy
the duly qualified delegates Of

provision OF the revenue bill which pro
poses to tax State, county and municipal
bonds. The New Workers were greatly
concerned over this move of the Kitchin
committee ana insisted that it would
cripple the government functions of the
city. The great reliance the New
Workers upon their bond issues doubtless
iustifies much of this contention. Mayor
Smith takes the ground that the passage
of the revenue bill with this new provi-
sion in 1t will affect the income of those
who have confidence in the bonds, and
that il may necessitate further obliga
tions on the city, which incidentally will
increase the burdens it must levy upon the
citizens. Before including this para aph
Mr.. Kitchin freely expressed his doubt
about the legality OF it. since it raises
very decided and interesting constitutional
question. But il was finally included on
the ground that II Liberty Bonds are

taxed. Strange to say, however, farm

TNHE eX-Goyernors OF New Jersey are
l. not fully satisfied with the way things
are going in Washington and elsewhere.
Ex-Governor j. Franklin Fort is a little
more radical in his views than ex-Gov-
ernor Edward c. Stokes. Governor Fort,
as a member of the Federal Trade Com
mission, jumps on coal barons, meat
barons and other alleged profiteers, while
Governor Stokes Jumps on the Democratic
party and portion of the Republican
party for what he holds to be absurd and
impossible revenue legislation. Governor
Fort has come in for share of United

rubbing capital too hard, and Governor
Stokes insists that what is left of capital
is likely to be put out of business by the

the childs name, broke forth: ''For

GENERALLY PAYS TO "STlCK"
Man Who Is Constantly Changing Jobs
Is Not Usually an Employee of
Special Value.

A Kansas editor complains that no
body sticks" in these times of plenty OF
Jobs for ALL The statement is too sweep
ing, says the Portland OreSonian. but
there is truth in it, A good many do not
"stick" who ought TO do so. They
ought, in the first place, to cultivate
the habit of sticking. Some day jobs
may not be SO common and ii will sur
prise some of the wandering ones To
find that they have not learned enough
about any one trade 10 make them val
liable to any employer The young man
who is doing one thing today and an
other the day after tomorrow is over
looking the chance to establish himself
in career. and he is breeding in HIM
self the spirit of dissatisfaction which
will make 1t hard for him 10 be happy
In all the years TO come. Nothing can
be said against quitting one job for
better one; ambition ought to be en-
couraged; but the worker ought TO be
sure himself that the change is for the
better and not merely for the sake of
change. Employers nowadays know
how great is the loss to industry re
sulting from mere aimlessness.
