Pay To-day

To-day Is the last day on which
payment Of the third quarterly in
stalment Of taxes due to the United
States Treasury on incomes and
profits for 1918 can be paid without
legal penalty.
Americans have become 90 accus-
toned to paying taxes their hands
automatically go to their pockets
when they catch sight of a Federal
officer, and the cashier at the soda
water fountain has been exalted to
new dignity since the Government
converted her into an agent of the
Treasury Department. Next year
New Workers and those who labor
here but dwell elsewhere will have
to visit the State income tax col
lectors as well as those from the
Federal Government. The prepara-
ton of reports promises to supplant
auction as a favorite evening diver
sion, and to be honest with the Gov
eminent presents problems as difficult
as those involved in fathoming a one
card draw at poker.
The quarterly payment Of income
and profits taxes has made a hard
job easier for a good many men and
women, particularly among those who
have fixed incomes Yet even this
does not wean the taxpayer from his
dream Of an Ideal state in which tax
collectors shall be unknown.

that their condolences are warped and
that they are moved solely by per-
sonal motives of political gain.
II this is not what you mean, the
question is, why are you saying It?
You have Joined the Plumb Planners
in a campaign of oratorical frightful-
ness to stir up bitterness and popular
excitement, with the avowed purpose
of frightening the Senate into acting
against its own judgment.
Is this not the spirit of intimidation.
the argument of force and of the mob ?
And yet you accuse Senators who
are so bold as to have opinions OF
their own OF being ENTHUSIASTICALLY in
clined," of viewing the issue with
the jaundiced eyes Of those who have
some private purpose of their own"
You told the public, to whom you
are now appealing for a demonstra-
ton against the Senate, that If they
elected a Republican Congress it
would be reputation of your lead
ership. and IL such were the verdict
you said you would accept II without
cavil.
Have you done soY
What are you doing now--cavilling,
are you not?
You are resenting their verdict.
You are demanding that they humili-
ate and punish, not through the polls
but by public agitation and demon
stration. the leaders they selected in
preference to yours.
You have sworn to sustain the Gov
eminent, and yet you are now engaged
in a public attack upon a body that is
proceeding lawfully and deliberately to
perform its sworn duty as a part of
the treaty making power under the
Constitution.
You are demanding that the public
make Of the Senate not a deliberative
body but simply an organization to
register the popular will as indicated
by any momentary wave that may be
set in motion by demagogues and agi-
tators generally.
You tell your audiences that you
fear the growth of the Bolshevist
spirit in this country, and at the same
time you are doing your utmost to put
the Senate under the sway of the mob
spirit.
The people look to you for the facts
regarding the treaty and you give
them your own opinions instead. You
tell us Of the world. the world, the
world, the heart of the world. the
conscience Of the world, the liberty of
the world, of voices in the air, OF
visions and dreams.
But still you want us to believe that
you, as well as the Senate, are con-
cerned in the United States of America.
The problem is
How can we tell when you say what
you mean? JOHN HANCOCK, Jr.

Lincoln in Manchester To-day.

The statue OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
designed by GEORGE GREY BARNARD
which will be unveiled to-day in Man
chester, England, with ceremonies in
which ALTON b. PARKER, formerly
Chief Judge of the New York Court of
Appeals, will deliver the principal ad-
dress, is the work originally intended
for erection In London as lasting
monument of the celebration of the
completion of century Of peace be-
tween the United States and the Brit
ish Empire. This peace began with
the ratification OF the Treaty of
Client, which ended the war Of 1912,
on February II, 1915, and the procla-
nation of that instrument by Presi-
dent POLK on the following day.
Before the war with Germany be-
gan committee OF Brltons and Amer
leans had made arrangements for ap-
propriate observance of the era Of good
relations which for nearly 100 years
had subsisted between the two nations.
In each country suitable services we're
to have been held, and official greet
ings were to have been exchanged in
way planned to Increase the good
feeling between the British and Amer
lean peoples. But in 1914 England
was forced into the war against Ger
many, and six months later had no
time for extensive formalities not
contributing 10 military and naval ac-
tivities. Consequently the most pre-
tentlous details of the proposed cele-
bration were abandoned.
AS part of this celebration Mr..
and Mrs. CHARLES p. TAFT gave the
Barnard statue of LINCOLN for cree
ton in London by the committee.
To the statue objection was raised,
on the ground that the sculptor had
not produced work Of art doing Jus
tice TO LINCOLN. The admirers of Mr..
BARNARD's work defended the product
of his skill vigorously and for a time
the discussion over its merits was
cAtcculiSly IlNcly ubu AZ SOlhC VI ils
details even bitter.
Eventually it was decided to put
the Barnard statue in Manchester and
to give to London replica of the
standing Lincoln" by SAINT GAUDENs,
memorial familiar to all the visitors
to Lincoln Park in Chicago. 1t is in
accordance with this arrangement
that Judge PARKER is to address the
people of Manchester to-day.
The delayed celebration of the peace
which has been maintained so long
between the great English speaking
nations is Of great interest to the
whole world. The continuation Of the
good relations which have endured
hundred years in spite of many
difficult passages between the nations
is of paramount Importance to men
of every country.

The Wilson Administration's Amsz-
ing Russian Policy.

The Wilson Administration is send
ing American troops to Siberia
to help the Kolchak Government.
From what the public hears about the
American contingents now on duty
there, they are being employed as
railroad guards, and In some cases 1t
Is asserted that they are doing the
work Of railroad laborers. Whatever
their occupation at the moment may
be, they are on the ground to assist
in the suppression of Bolshevism and
they are subject to attack by the
Bolsheviki. A number of American
soldiers have been killed in Siberia.
While these soldiers are operating
against the .Bolsheviki in Siberia the
Bolsheviki are maintaining in this
country an institution known as the
Russian Soviet Bureau, whose mis-
sion is to distribute propaganda in
favor Of the Bolsheviki and their sys-
TEN Of proletariar despotism. This
bureau Is now actively engaged in the
work 1t was established to do. It
issued statement on Saturday which
was printed yesterday in certain
newspapers. Apparently the bureau
enjoys immunity from suppression by
the Wilson Administration.
These facts present one of the most
extraordinary situations the United
States has ever known. Americans
are fighting the Bolsheviki in Siberia
under the direction Of the Wilson
Administration. Americans are being
killed in Siberia by the Bolsheviki.
But in New York city the Bolsheviki
exercise liberty to spread their propa-
ganda among the ignorant In the popu-
latlon of the United States, and thus
not only to strengthen the Bolsheviki
in Russia, including Siberia, but ac-
tually to attack the political institu-
tons Of the United States and to
spread dissatisfaction with our form
Of government among those who do
not understand 1t, or understanding
It are opposed to It.
If this condition did not exist be-
fore their eyes sane men would say
It was incredible. II sane Ameri-
cans were told that another nation
was sacrificing its soldiers In a land
remote from Its boundaries to sup
press an institution whose accredited
agents 1t harbored within its own
boundaries, encouraging them by toll
GRAFTON to spread the doctrines its
men were giving their lives abroad
to oppose, sane Americans would re-
fuse to believe that such folly was
possible. Yet this Is exactly what
the Wilson Administration is doing
lr its treatment of the Bolsheviki Of
Russia, exactly what 1t has been do
ing, and exactly what, from all ap-
pearanccs, 1t intends to keep on doing
unless the American people demand
that the Wilson policy toward Russia
be abandoned and reasonable and
Intelligent policy substituted for it.

The municipal Government OF Buenos
Ayres has enacted stringent regulations
restricting the sale of drugs to the people.
The sale OF narcotic drugs is prohibited
except upon the presentation of pre-
scription prepared by a registered physi-

phine, opium and other drugs with the
greatest freedom. The Government has
established dispensaries where those suf-
fering from various diseases requiring the
