An important feas- ure of this tax is that it is to be ac- counted for by the dealer or vendor, regardless of who manufactured or finished the article, and in this respect as well as in it's extended scope, it differs materially from the tax on jewelry imposed by the Act of 1917, which required the manufacturer or
 importer to report and pay the tax to the government. Not only jewellers, therefore, but every other person sell ling any of the enumerated articles will be required to render return and
 pay the tax of five percentum on sales occurring on and after April 1, 1919. In order that such persons may be placed on the mailing list for blank reports and further information, they should immediately communicate their
 names and addresses and the nature Of
 the tax in which they are interested
 to the Collector of Internal Revenue at Tacoma, Washington. Jewellers who are at present rendering returns under
 the 1917 law will receive blanks with
 out special request.

THE DOOM
 OF EMPIRES

No man can truly enjoy even what he knows to be his own, knowing that millions of his fellow men are in mis- cry and want. When we think of the famished we feel that it is almost heartless to eat; almost ashamed to be we'll dressed and warm One feels as though his heart was as cold as their bodies.
 In a country filled with millions and millions of acres of land waiting to be titled, where one man can raise the food for hundreds, millions are on the edge of famine Who can comprehend the stupidity at the bot tom of the truth. Is there to be no change? Is the law of supply, inven- ton and science, monopoly and com- petition, capital and legislation, al- ways to be the enemies of those who toll?
 Will the workers always be ignor- ant and stupid enough to give their earnings for the useless? %Will they always build temples for ghosts and phantoms, and live in huts and i dens for themselves? Will the lips l unstained by lies, forever kiss the robed impostor's hand? Will they , finally say that the man who has had equal privileges with all others has no right to complain, or will they follow the example of their oppress- ors? Will they learn that force to | succeed must have thot behind it, and that thought must rest upon the | corNsrStDne of justice?-Robert C.. Ingehsoll.

The traveller standing amid the ruins of ancient cities and empires, seeing on everyside the fallen pillar and prostrate wall, asks, Why did these cities fall? Why did these em- pires crumble? And the ghost or the past, the wisdom of ages, er- swers: These temples these palaces, these cities, the ruins of which you stand upon, were built by tyranny and injustice. The hands that bore the burdens also bore the marks of the lash. They were built by slaves to satisfy the vanity and ambition or thieves and robbers. For these reas- ons they are dust.
 Their civilization was a lie. Their laws merely regulated robbery and esta ablished theft They bot and sold the bodies and souls of men, and the mournful wind of desolation, signing amid their crumbling ruins, is a voice of prophetic warning to those who would repeat the infamous experi- ment, uttering the great truth: that no nation founded upon slavery either of body or mind can stand.
 When take into consideration the agony of civilized life, the failure the poverty, the anxiety, the tears, the whitening hopes, the better re- alties, the hunger, the crime, the humiliation and the shame, l am almost forced tod say that cannibal- ism after all is the most merciful form of which man ever lived upon his fellow men. It is impossible for man with a good heart to be sat- isfied with this world as it is now.

 In other words. the more we pro- duce, the less we shall have to dis tribute among ourselves. Because the public has not the purchasing power to buy as much as government and public together bot in wartime, we shall produce less, because if we produce less, labor will earn less, and because lebor earns less, it will be able to buy less. If a government, in control of all industries, were to propose such a. program, it's leaders would be regarded as insane If a government, able to regulate indus try allows it to happen, the fact will be evidence of insanity. The im- mense increase in the productive power of mankind is one of war; chief gifts. The civil population in the Allied countries have managed to eat and be clothed while millions of men at the most productive age have been economically nonproduc- tive. We ought to be all the richer for the return of these men to their places in industry. If we san not be made so under the old methods, we ought to devise new ones.-Tne World.

WHERE ARE
 MY CHILL DRENP

It is not so long ago that a part Fof the country was very much (and very needlessly) wrought up about a moving picture bearing the title Where are my children?" The film was really harmless piece of work, seeking to make capital out of the birth conrtol talk going on at the time. That same title might be used today in a different sense. Nor there are many folks who, terribly in earn est their opposition to birth control quite shamelessly forget the children | once they are born into the world.
 Where are the nations children to- day? On what road have they en- tered? Take state like Massachu- sctts, which is supposed to be the seat of education, and which con- tains the oldest educational institu- tions in the country. When records show that the school enrolment Is 14 per cent below the normal figure, something is wrong. Similar condi- tions exist all over the country. broi on, of course, by the abnormal condi- tions of war. According to some es- inmates. 50.O00 children were taken into industries that should have been learning elementary facts at school.
