THE GIRL WITHOUT
ACHANCE"

There are more real thrills
taken from real life, that will
bring to our own personal mind
things that have happened dur
ing our life time, that will cause
us to stop and think and see
W ere we were in the wrong
mo-e ways than one. And the
c medy situations that are dis
persed throughout the action of
the play are situations that re-
lieve the intensity of the story
and each and every character
that is introduced in the action
of the play is taken from real
life, and they are in the hands
of competent artists who make
you feel that you are witnessing
the real happenings of life. Mr..
Sherman in producing this
wonderful play, which deals
with the struggles Of poor
working girl who comes to an
American City and encounters
those vultures who prey upon in
nocent creatures. has spared no
expense whatsoever in giving II
a mounting that is in itself worth
going a long ways to see. The
scenic effects are all new to the
theatre going public. This If
resistible story will cause us all
to wonder, and is one that every
mother should see and then they
will understand how hard it is
for an honest girl, who is thrown |
on her own resources, to get |
along.
So don't fail to see the ORA
matte sensation Of the day The
Girl Without A Chance" that
comes to the Peoples theatre

with nothing but words of

British and American Taxes.

1t is interesting to compare British and Ameri-
can taxation figures at this time when the filing Of
tax reports has been accomplished and those who
have filed reports either preparing to pay or are
awaiting anxiously to hear whether they have con-
CURED accurately with the provisions of the tax law
The taxes in Britain for the current fiscal year
amount to $33oI 100000 though that country has no
more than one-third the wealth of the United
States where $5,oooooo.ooo is the most sangune
figure we expect to achieve On corresponding
basis with England our receipts would be nearer
$Ioyoooo 100000.
Though this might be construed as sign OF
our Sinking our obligations there is this argument
to put forth for Americans that we are in the
transitory stage between and peace.
The New Republic. however, takes the stand
that we are not doing duty in this respect. We
quote from a recent editorial in that publication:
In the next election, however we ought
10 send to Congress men who will not be
afraid to levy drastic taxes. Earned incomes
are now paying without protest an excess
profits tax OF per cent in addition to all in
come taxes Surely unearned incomes will
bear similar impost. The supertaxes on in
comes above a modest minimum can be
greatly increased profits taxes can
also be made to yield much heavier revenues,
and the inheritance tax could well be devel-
oped into an exceedingly productive source
of revenue. When the war is over, the nation
that has met the largest proportion OF its
expenditures through taxation will most
easily weather the crisis of reconstruction.

Vast. PAPER.

There are number of rumors current that
the government contemplates forcing the news
papers of the country to eurtail the use of white
paper
The saving of white paper is laudable purpose,
but there are some features that have apparently
not been considered by the zealous~ ones behind
the movement The newspapers of the country
have not waited until this late day to curtai the
use of white paper. The prices Of this material
many months ago forced even the most prosperous
publishers to institute saving measures. Today most
every paper in America is running on more
economic basis than ever before.
But the newspapers themselves through the
virtue of their positions should be the ones to de-
eide just what the economy should be- The govern
ments experts have not yet demonstrated that they
are bowling success as economists.
In fact there is ample opportunity for the gov
ernment to effect considerable saving of white paper
through the elimination of duplication. For in
stance department sends out pamphlet. Usu-
ally there three or four blank pages in the
front of the booklet and many in the back
Then it is sent out to the papers. One is sent to
the editor and then the ambitious mailing force
sends to all the various subedtors. This list
includes managing editors, city editors Sunday edi
tor literary editor and as many other editors as
be remembered.
After this list is exhausted the Congressional
Directory is dragged out and every correspondent
of the paper is bombarded with booklet. In
many cases The Herald has received many as
twelve copies Of the same booklet. One would
suffice.
This is just one instance among many in which
the government wastes white paper.
Economy in the white paper situation, like
charity, might begin at home and not until official
agencies begin to economic and existing waste is
curbed should the restriction of legitimate agencies
of public intelligence be considered.

The Girl He Didn't Leave Behind Him.

They did not partl Their last good-bys
Were said-but souls are winged and free,
And still he saw her constant eyes
Through all the watchful nights at sea.
When wistful war-waifs came to share
What he could give, her soldier knew
That she who clasped his child was there
To smile on those poor babies, too.
Above the trench her presence shone;
In charge and storm he saw her clear
Upon the bed of pain, alone,
He heard her whisper, Il am herel"
And when, to crown a daring deed,
They gave him honors, glorified
His eyes beheld dearer need
Her vision, bright with joy and pride.
Dear Father, guard our gallant men
Within whose hearts is love enshrined,
And bring them safely home again ...
To those they cannot leave behindl

Mount Horses on Boards.

Out in the fertile peat fields of
southern California, the heavy draft
horse would be useless for plowing
and cultivating. but for a wooden
shoe. which was invented by some
ingenious rancher, and which can be
quickly clamped on the horses

Monthly. With his wooden shoes.
the horse can walk safely on a sur
face of peat that quivers like jelly
with his weight.
The shoes must be adjusted to
suit the habit of the, horse, If he
has tendency to knock his feet
together. they must be trimmed off
on the sides, although it is obvious
ly best to have them as wide as
possible. They are clamped on by

What Lo Was Fishing For.

Speaking at dinner in Camden the other night,
Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey,
referred to the mpatience of the American soldier
to see active service and great purpose in the
war; and told the following story:
Burning with the fire of patriotism. Indian at
Muskogee' enlisted in the army. After some time
a white friend called at the camp to see him
well, Lo," said the friend, "how do you like
being soldier by this time?"
Me no like" answered Lo, negatively shaking
his head. "Too much salute, not enough shoot"
BE patient, Lo." smiled the friend, and then ad-
ded, "Of course, you know what you are fighting
for?"
"Sure me know" was the prompt reoinder of

absent and Not Voting" "

"A movement is foot to secure the election
OF loyslist Congress"-News dispatch.
Yes, you can bet your bottom dollar that there
is such movement on foot! And it's not confined
to Washington, either. Notby long shot It's
foot in every State, county, village and hamlet
in the United States.
The folks have watched the present Congress as
they have never watched another since civil war
days. They have drawn their conclusions and
they in hrst-class shape to be intelgently
careful about the next Congress-the Congress
that will be elected this fall.
All Of which means this: that mere "selfassess-
ed" patriotism isn't going to get by. Every man
in the House and the Senate who expects to
again this fall has got to do more than just
talk about his love for his country. He has, got
to dig up his recent record and show what he has
done for his country.
The folks will be able to judge what that record
is worth If it's a clean one then there's a good
chance for Mr.. Candidate. If it snt-if it is
tinged with cheap politics and petty jealousies,
even in lieu Of out and out pro-Germanism-then
God help him.
Here is something to figure in this connec-
ton: candidate can't say simply Z didn't vote
against the war; the draft the shipping bill, the
appropriation measures the Overman bill" He
has got to make it more than negative. He has
got to show what he worked and voted for. He
has got to prove that he has not been an obstruc-
tionist in fact, if he has managed to dodge
the roll call in a number of cases.
The practice of certain Senators and Represen-
tatives in doing their best to block war measures
both openly the floor and in secret CLOAK
room" conferences for days end, and then duck
ing out at the last minute to avoid going on record
when the vote is taken, has become notorious
The country knows all about it. So that absent
and not voting" is going to be one of the worst
possible alibis this fall

Taft As a Great Teacher.

For generations American problem has been
what to do with our former Presidents. Finally
one of them is solving the problem in a simple.
wholesome American way. William H. Taft has
calmly and earnestly tackled any job that offers a
chance to help wake up America and win the war
for democracy.
He has temporarily given up his work of teach
ing Yale students the law, in order that he might
teach the whole American people how a patriotic
former President make of himself live asset
instead of dead liability.
Former President Taft now works at desk in
Washington, bringing to, bear his ability and COM
mon sense of the vital problems
labor. That's democracy
