MR.. MeADoO'S MISTAKES.

Taxes will not be reduced, says an
exchange. Congressman Longworth
says "The last Congress made one Sc
rious mistake. 1t accepted the state
ment Of the former Secretary Of the
Treasury (Mr. McAdoo) that $4,000, q
600. 900 of taxation would be sufficient
to finance this government next year.
Now we find that $4,000. 900, 600 will
not come within about $1,000, 600, coo of
meeting the present estimate of our ac-
tual expenses for the next fiscal year.
The present Congress therefore has to
assume the burden of the miscalculation
Of Mr. McAdoo. So taxes will not be
reduced because they cannot be re-
duced. One is justified in asking where,
beyond being MIR. Wilson's son-in-law,
Mr. McAdoo is entitled to consideration
for the presidency? The above shows
his incapacity as an administrator of
the treasury, His failure as railroad
administrator was unspeakable.
McAdoo. like several others taken
under Wilson's wing after his receiving
the presidential mantle, was practically
a blank from the craftsmanship stand
point, But for awhile after he had had
a number Of high positions Of trust
thrust upon him. McAdoo was re-
garied by yisionarists as one Of the

The High Cost of Living
How explained and correction promised in the platform
upon Mr.. Wilson elected President
LIE DEMocRATIC national platform adopted at

HE DEMOCRATIC national platform aaopted al Ddu'
more July , 1912, said
"The high cost of living serious problem in every
American home The Republican party in its platform al
emps escape responsibility for the present conditions by
denying that they due protective tariff We take
issue with them this subject and charge that excessive prices
result large from the high tariff laws enacted and
maintained by the Republican party and form trusts and com
meca conspraces ostered and encouraged by such laws
and we assert that substantial relief be secured for the
people until import duties the necessares OF lie are mater
tally reduced and these criminal conspraces broken up
The Democratic national platform of 1916 claimed that the
problem of pofeerng had been solved by Democratic eg
lation. 1t said
modae the pepeXng questions arising under the antitrust
laws that monopoly may be anged at its birth and eg
innate industry encouraged Fair competition in business IS
assured We have effected adjustment of the tariff
adequate for under peace conditions and tar to the
consumer and producer"
William Jennings Bryan said this 1916 convention
ut 1.-THE Democratic party has taken away the power OF

the of the country without doing injustice to any
OF the producers"
Martin H. Glynn, temporary chairman of the 1916 Demo
cratic national convention, said

profit the producer fair wage the toer and fair price
to the consumer The of the naton-and this
every man. and child within It's borders-have

riched the few the expense of the many"
And President Wilson, in his speech of acceptance on Sep
TENDER ., 1916, said
eve have put all kinds of unfair competition under the ban
and penalty of the law. We have barred monopoly
The laws against have been clarified by definition with

THE CHURCH THE LIFE
OF THE NATION.

The church may not be the only place
where men, women and the youth may
proftably spend Sunday.
OF course it is not. Nevertheless, it
is one of the very best places.
1t has been well tried.
1t has been knocked about badly by
slackers and by enemies.
II is the target for everyone with a
chip on his shoulder or a crouch in his
system.
1t is too narrow for some and too
broad for others.
All this is perfectly natural-in fact
inevitable. since the church is based
upon spiritual principles, which are ad-
mittedly difficult to fully understand,
let alone follow
In spite of all this, the church is
mighty force in the nation for keeping
people toned up to high levels of think
ing and acting
1t has kept the affairs of the moral
governor before the attention of his
people.
1t has been the force behind the
building of homes for orphans. unfor-
tunates, deficient, demented and aged.
1t has always been the hacker and
often the starter of philanthropic en-
terprises.
The church is easy to slam and hard
to replace.
Kick if you like; but you will be
wiser and happier to back il.

Your plan of combined campaign
to raise money for the eight endowed
colleges of Wisconsin interests me
greatly" comments DR.. A. Lawrence
Lowell, president of Harvard Univer-
sity, in letter to the presidents of
the eight institutions in the Wisconsin
Colleges Associated, 'for it lays stress
upon both the need OF larger funds for
higher education, and the common in
terest of all colleges and universities
in promoting through many channels
the objects for which they stand.
Vast material resources avail moth
ing to country without the men who
can use them The greatest thing any
nation can possess lies In the intel
ligence, the knowledge and the char
acter of its people, and these qualities
can be developed only by education,
above all by the ti-her education. II

of where the hurt comes in. But after
all, wherein is the sense of wasting
time in investigating and uncovering
guilt which smacks of looting without
inhtcting a just punishment. a punish
ment which would serve to check others
from doing likewise in the future. 1t
is even astonishing that the hooters are
not compelled to hand back what they

TESTIMONY has been adduced in the
trial of members Of the Milk Producers
Association of Chicago, charged with
conspiracy TO arbitrarily fix the price
of milk, that the members of this asso-
citation held up farmers last summer on
their way to market their milk and
dumped whole loads of milk into the
highway or street. The association
that would thus destroy SO precious a
product as milk at time when the
poor needed it badly and with difficulty
could purchase it, is an enemy to man
kind and those guilty of such acts
should be 80 severely punished that
they would never again dream of such
a resort. With the past as criterion,
however, no one will suffer, no one will
lose aught but the time given to the
trial, which must be a bore to them at
the best Christian advocate.
