at the compilation Of the task. The
new way Is the better. When debate
in the House begins the minority Of
the committee will shape whatever op-
position to the measure may be offered,
and be the better qualified for the
service by complete knowledge Of the
measures construction. It will not be
obliged to proceed with only hasty
study Of the 1uajority's work.
As has been said before, the moro
time the committee gives to the meas-
ure the less time the House may find
necessary. A bill well thought out on
non-class and non-sectional lines, dis
tributing the burden fairly and judi
ciously, should provoke no serious OF
lengthy criticism anywhere. Every
body understands the governments
urgent need Of money, and comedies
that the country is able to supply It.
The Senate will have a say, and the
length and character Of it will depend
on Tie sort Of measure the House sends
over. Without the power Of initiation,
the Senate has yet good deal Of power
in tho shaping Of revenue measures,
and never fails to exercise it. In all
the revenue legislation Of the past
thirty years its hand has been con-
spicuous.

Uncle Sam After Bootleggers.

A new means of combating the evil
Of illicit liquor traffic is developed in
the prosecution Of 'bootleggers" for
violating the federal internal revenue
laws. Under this procedure those con-
victed may be given more severe PEN
alties, both by fine and imprisonment,
than under tho Sheppard law. Fed
eral agents Of detection and prosecu-
tion are available for the catching and
punishment Of offenders, whose risk is
thus increased. It Is to be hoped that
this extension Of the net will result
in q moro effective cleaning up Of the
lawbreakers, who are spreading evil
in Washington and lessening the re-
sources Of the community for war
work. Vigorous enforcement Of the
law is necessary, with NO leniency in
penalties, to tho end that the infamous
traffic may be rendered too hazardous
FOR continuance. Every show Of con-
sideration for confessed Or proved Of
tenders Is an encouragement to those
who are tempted by rich returns to try
their luck In selling intoxeants.

Tho Federation's Campaign.

Plans Of the National Federation Of
Federal Employees to campaign against
profteering in the necessities Of life
include the collection Of information
from members respecting specific
cases. This is the practical way to 60
at the matter. The food administers
ton has given every evidence Of the
desire to check the extortion, but can
not act without definite charges. II
every member Of the federation will
closely watch tho prices charged for
food supplies in the markets and
stores and report every seeming In
stance Of overcharging In comparison
with the fair price lists published
weekly the officials will have ground
for action. This should extend also to
prices charged In the public eating
houses, where, It is alleged, extortion
is practiced to some extent. Naturally,
price scales cannot be definitely fixed
in such places, as there is wide range
Of service conditions. But there is q
similarity Of scale in places Of the
Same grade, and there should be NO
difficulty about demonstrating extor-
ton If it is praeticed IN any Of these
establishments.
Another line Of inqury % bs under
taken BY the federation b with 70
spect to rents, which, despite the
saulsbury law, are subject 10 no Feeu-
lation. Instances Of profteerins in
rents have been alleged. There Il in
this matter no such remedy a. II At
forded In regard to foods, but It Is
nevertheless desirable that attention be
called to clearly established cases Of
rent extortion, to the end Of securing
at the earliest possible moment the
enactment Of workable, equitable law
by Congress to check this evil practice.

Bull Moosery.

Among the delegates to the New
York republican state convention to be
held at Saratoga Thursday and Friday
will be a number Of former bull
moosers, who, like their former chief,
Mr.. Roosevelt. have found their way
back to the old home. It has been pro-
posed that they hold reunion on the
scene, and Mr.. Roosevelt will be In
vited to attend.
Speaking Of the matter, the former
chairman Of tho bull moose state com.
mittes says: "There is no political dg-
nidcancs In tho proposition. It will
be purely . get-together meeting"
still. the size and spirit Of the meet
ing viii be noted in New York state
political circles, and in the political
circles Of other states. While bull
moosery, as formerly known and en-
ployed in Mr.. Roosevelt's behalf, is
about extinct, not all who accepted the
doctrine when it was introduced came
out Of the "trance" as full Of life as
when they went in.
Some appear to have lost interest
in politics. Their experience seems to
have soured or saddened them. They
realize that bull moosery is dead, very
dead, but they show no desire for a
new alliance Of any kind. Republican
ism, democracy, socialism look alike to
them. Nothing beckons.
This, of course, is far from Roosevelt
tian. The death Of bull moosery has
not diminished in the slightest degree
Mr.. Roosevelt's interest in politics. He
is still keen for the game. Not in as
good 'kelter as formerly, he is yet all
alive, to the limits Of his strength.
A republican again, he is canvassing
for party unity, and, later, will can
vass for party success at the polls.
II former bull moosers are conspicu-
GUS at Saratoga, and show lively in
terest in what is going on, and give
evidence Of a purpose to do their ut
most this year for the republican tick
ct, the manifestation will be Of service
outside as well as inside the state.
Former bull moosers everywhere, not
ing the spirit shown in New York, and
attributing it to Mr.. Roosevelt's influ-
ence, will "get move on" themselves,
and do their bit with the more energy
and enthusiasm in this years cam
paigns in their respective states.
For instances, Maine and Massachu-
setts were once bull moose strong
holds; and this year the republicans
are making strenuous efforts to COM
pose all factionism and carry both.

Holding the Lines.

Germany's mighty offensive, ushered
in yesterday between Chateau Thierry
and as far east Of Rheims as Main de
Massiges, is so far being held. Though
using approximately sixty divisions of
men, estimated at between 100000 and
100000, tho crown princes efforts to
smash over tho Marne and onward
toward Paris have been shattered.
Strenuous attempts to press down over
the Champagne fields to reach Chalons
sur Marne and so envelop Rheims as
to cause its evacuation by allied arms,
have been futile.
Glorious French and American re-
sistance is giving the Germans their
answer. They tell the German com.
mand by their deeds that the Teutons
are to fail dismally. But the Germans
must win. It Is imperative, and a q
consequence they continue their ef-
4prta On the other hand, fred by sue
eess, French and American forces have
counter sttaeked at VARIOUS points with
sucL ardor that much Of the terrain
gained by the enemy by the impetus
Of first assaults has been regained.
American pluck always has been
recognized, American perseverance Is
a proverb, but in European eyes mod
ern-day American military endeavor
was yesterday to prove its worth. There
can be no question Of the fighting
spirit Of the boys from this country
who today are catching the brunt of
the main German endeavor in the gen.
eral region skirting the Marne be-
tween Dormans and Vaux. The glori-
GUS deeds of Cantigny and Chateau
Thierry are being repeated on greater
scale. In the face Of concerted enemy
aggression, after forcing crossings Of
the Marne, the Americans counter at
tackled. They hammered the Germans
with all the vigor Of an initial assault.
The Germans started a retrograde
movement eliminating today in the
American recapture Of Fossoy and
Grezancy, points where Teutons first
crossed the Marne. Uncle Sans lads
are Furnishing the enemy severely.
The French, where their lines are sore
" beset between Rheims and Main de
Massiges, likewise are firm. Every
where there are signs that German
casualties are tremendous.
Failure Of Germanic purpose in the
present great struggle viii have tre-
msndously important bearing on the
outcome Of the war, inasmuch as 1t is
sure to lessen German public conf
dsnce and reduce the general morale
Of the German soldier, following as it
does other repeated failures. The bat
tie 50 far is one which should inspire
the highest degree Of confidence in
the minds and hearts Of allied nations.
Gen. Foeh is proving himself the ge-
MUS of. strategy he has been pictured.
He has been able to determine where
and when the Germans are to attack.
The Germans now always find strong
allied armies before them. These are
growing stronger, thanks to American
endeavor.
While despair must be increased in
the German mind, confidence that the
enemy ever is to fail, just as he Is
failing today, increases In all nations
arrayed against the Hun.

Antiuuated Railroad Camouhage

Anticipated Railroad Camouhage.
This mornings railroad wreck at
Linden afforded an opportunity for
subordinate officials at the Union sta
ton to practice the old-style methods
Of camoufage that it was thought had
been abandoned long ago In tho mat
ter Of giving public information. Ef-
forts were made to prevent tho as
certainment Of the facts. Inquirers
were informed that the injured per-
sons had been sent to Baltimore, an
obvious absurdity, inasmuch as Lin
den is on the Metropolitan branch. and
the wounded people could not be sent
to Baltimore save through Washing
ton or by roundabout course to Wash
ington Junction. While this fantastic
tale was being solemnly told at the
station the injured persons were be-
ing treated In the emergency hospital
in that building. Such methods are In
excusable and merit the sharpest con-
demnation by the higher railroad OH
cials. The public has right to know
about the details Of railroad accidents.

IAN exciting runaway occurred

which resulted most fortunately
for first appearances. A young
team of horses hitched to a hay

David got scared by the train
and broke loose from the iron
post in front of Burton's and
ran west on Grand View. An

tied to the post in front of

frightened team went past the
two hay frames interlocked and
the doubletree on the wagon
broke and the wagon was sepa-
rated from the team and pushed
backward in a half circle onto
the sid, walk almost into l. Lob

with a spring wagon, upsetting
it as they sped on west, barely
missing an automobile standing
in the middle of the street in

l9l7--Liberty Day-19l8

April 9th will henccforth and
forever standout in history as a
Liberty Day. 1t was on April 6,
1917, the United States of Amer
lea formally entered the war for
Democracy and human freedom
against the merciless rule of Au-
tocracy, attempted to be enforced
by military despotism, by which
Germany would rule the world.
Throughout America. through
out all the Allied Nations that be-
lievc in Liberty-there will be
many obscrvances on April g.,
1918, of the first anniversary Of
that importat world-cvent.
But a more fitting observance
could not be suggested than the
launching, on that first annivcr-
sary day. of the Third Liberty
Loan, that every true and loyal
American may pledge anew his
allegiance to the Stars and Stripes
and to make every required sac
rificc in order that, through our
own brave sons and those OF the
Allies, victory will be won and
our national ideals will prevail.
The Third Liberty Loan Cam
paign should be launched on
April 6. 1918. with patriotic
demonstrations such as this Ma
ton has never before witnessed,
that the people OF every city.
town and community may cx-
press the true spirit OF a reused
America. And there should be
no abatement OF that patriotic
spirit, not even after the Third
Liberty Loan is achieved, as
surely it will. 1t should continue

Europe singing hosannas of

but thnt he thinks more OF Ma
