Mr.. Wilson's Tall Hat.

1t wos to be expected that, reports
OF Mr.. Wilson's visit to London would
be replete with accounts OF four horse
coaches. plumed chancellors of the roy
al soap dish. brilliantly embellished
Scots guards, and what not. But there
is always one journalist who may be
depended upon to strike the cymbal in
q new way and SO one has noted with
admirable savoir faire that the presi-
dent uses his top hat with grace and
skill" Now, it is one thing to make the
world safe for democracy. but it is
quite another TO make free with a two
gallon hat right out in public. and es-
pecially public that is as accustomed
to polish lids as an Arfansan is to
granger twist. The late Senator Dolliv-
err. of Iowa. was wont TO wear his top
per on the back OF his head as a sort
of a compromise between the east and
west: we shiver to think OF such UNI
kosher conduct in Mayfair. Some there
are who profess to read character in
the manner of ones eating: let an
Englishman observe your conduct in a
top hat, whether you sport it rakish-
~ aslant or soberly erect and with
grace and Skill and you are card in
Gexed. One hopes that Mr.. Wilson may
continue to marriage his policies with as
much skill as he Tits his lid, for Amer
leans not infrequently go a-visiting
only to come away with hat that
some one has deity substituted.--Chi-

For Burial Abroad or at Home.

II will soon be time--perhaps 1t Is
time alrendy--for giving the serious
consideration II deserves to the Gues-
ton Of what shall nc done by the Gov
eminent with and for the bodies OF our
soldiers who died and have been bur-
led abroad. The alternative presented
is simple OF course, because these
bodies must either be left where they
are or he brought home, but unfortun-
ately about as much can be said In be-
half Of doing the one thing AZ the
other and whatever the decision may
be, it will be highly unsatisfactory to
those who favored its opposite.
The now established custom Of the
government Is that OF giving home
burial to all who die in its foreign SER
vice, and that Is what, in the natural
course. would be done in this instance,
but the custom IL OF comparatively r..
cent date and it was adopted without
any reference to such conditions cs
now exist. The only objections to
changing it. therefore. are those that
will be made by relatives and frienus,
to whom the thought Of their dead

feeling and worthy Of respect, but
many Americans. possibly majority.
are Of the opinion that TO have died in
France for the good cause II in itself a
fate 50 honorable that grave in that
country is one in which a hero will rest

Whoever chooses by individual ef-
fort and at private expense to bring
back q son, husband, or father must
be left free to do so. whatever may be
the governments action, but it would
not be right to say that none Of the
dead shall be returned except those
whose families can afford the cost Of
transfer which would be considerable
II the prevailing sentiment of the
country is that home burial is desirable

PROTESTING the LUXURY Tx.

The retail merchants OF the country
are organizing TO protest to congress
against Il tax ulon Injuries. Their
particular complaint is that such Ia;
would he nuisance To them In ac-
counting and would annoy the Gust
omer However, all tax experts agree
that war taxes should be levied upon
Injuries and there is serious objection
just now that the senate reduced the
luxury tax from 10 to ) per cent.
The tax experts explain that war
wastes materials and labor not money
Money just travels around from gov
eminent to producer and keeps on cir
culating. The thing that is lost is the
raw material and the labor spent on it
to produce munitions to he used up IN
the war. The only way TO replen!sh
the worlds supply of goods or pay the
war debt as it is called is to consume
less than is produced or produce more
than is cons umed until a stock on
manu- can De uCSuuiuiaISu III GA 20
mary markets.
So long as the masses of. people en-
joy.ng high wages buy more goods than
they ever did before there will be no
chance to gather reserve supply and
scarcity will keep all prices high. The
only solution is to discourage the con-
sumption of such goods as are not alb
solute necessities OF life by putting
a war tax upon them. People who
who will buy Injuries must then con-
tribute toward the war debt. Other
people who 10 not want to pay the
luxury tax cah economics on their
consumption IF luxury goods until the
world can produce a surplus OF the
more necessary things OF life. 1t is
the war doctrine of essential and nom
essential industry carried over into
the reconstruction period until the
worlds supply of goods, which war
used up while the worlds labor and
raw materials went into the war, has
been fully restored.
The only sound basis fer complaint
as to a tax upon Injuries would he
that it should be paid at the factory
where it is produced and thereby sim
plfy collection. The tax should be in
cluded in the cost of the goods but
of course, the consumer must ultimate
" pay the tax as the consumer always
does

MANN A DANCE RoUs PROSPECT.

1t will prove costly mistake if the
republican house of representatives
should elect James r. Mann, of Hi
| nois, its speaker.
Mann's alleged leadership Of the mi
nority house las been more on paper
and in the papers than an actual lead
ership. He does not represent the real
leadership of the reorganized republic
can party more than Joe Cannon re-
presented the leadership of the party
before such leadership as his wrecked
ability of Cannon. He represents the
same group that Cannon represented.
the coterie of men who know just what
they want ana which steered the par
ty straight to the rocks.
Granted that Mann is I. good parlia-
mentarian he is so much else of
character which the republican party
repudiated that his election as speak
er would prove a complete misfortune
to the party and vitiate much of the
renewed confidence with which the
country has recalled republicans to
power in the congress.
The party must keep faith. 1t has
two years in which to convince the
country-already convinced that dem
ocratic administration is d failure
that the republicans have started
anew. The republican party has not
come back but has started to come
back to a long term Of power. 1t is on
| probation for the next two years. And
upon its leadership and sense of moral
and political (f such differentiation
shall be made) depends the lease Of
power. 1t can not put such as James
R. Mann forward as representative Of
its purposes and increase public con-
| fidence in it's intentions and capability
| of usefulness 10 the whole country.
| For the usefulness Of the LManns and
Penroses are generally conceded among
| the rank and file to be restricted.
| The Newark, n. j., Call referring to
| the speakership says:
| ITO elect Mr.. Mann speaker would
! be a very bad beginning and ominous
| for the future. Nobody disputes
Mann's ability, but his record is that
or the hiie-.boiIia ,r;act;onary II dom
este politics and a pro- German sym
| pathizer in war policies. His election
would be deeply resented by ever re-
| publican either Of progressive tenden-
| cies or pro-ally sympathies. No
| worse exhibition of Bourbon politics
! could be imagined and the Republi-
cans would by this one act advertise
| themselves to the country as being not
| only utterly out of touch with popular
| sentiment but also rs totally unable
| to comprehend the meaning of the last
election.
| Another republican newspaper, the
Ithaca Journal, upstate in New York
expresses Its fear Of a republican flu
| ture under Mann'a leadership.
/ From party standpoint. there is
another good reason why republicans
4 should not elect Mr.. Mann speaker Of
the house. He belongs to the extreme
conservative wing OF the party, a lead
ership that tho country will never fol-
low and a majority of his own party
has repudiated The republican party
has gone forward, but Mann has not.
