Fear Loss Of Sovereignty,

United States Senator Halle of
Maine, made an admirable speech III
the senate recently, in which he at
tackled Mr. Wilson's policy az the
peace conference. lie said Mr.. Viii
son has drifted away from his orig
inally announced program ana had
assumed an attitude that woaiG
mean the surrender of the sGNcr-
swallowed up in internation' liam
He added:
THE American people never I'M
derstood the meaning and conse-
quence of the ideals and policies Of
President Wilson They were given
out at a time when, as commander
in chief of the armies or the country
it was held universally to be an
objectionable sin to criticize the
president
But the theorists, the idealists,
the people especially who never
would have had US go into the war,
are now in the front line trenches,
loudly and vociferously contending
for the millennium. But underneath
all this the great still mass of the
American people are awaiting their
time. They are patriotic people.
They never would have consented
to go to war had they not believed
their country to be in danger.
THE American people will not
stand forany plan that in any way
affects or commits them to any pol
icy of internationalizing their SOW
ereignty as nation. The Ameri-
can people are for America first and
they have no desire nor intention to
wander very far away from the faith
of their fathers
This is good. sound and patriotic
doctrine What pity Mr.. Wilson
cannot or viii not see it. Ameri-
can Economist

Whom Does Borah Represents

The Tribune has never been an
advocate of the national federal
amendment because it has taken the
position that all matters of Suffrage
has been good Southern doctrine for
years, and, therefore, good Demo
cratic doctrine but the converse of
it being good Republican doctrine
we are somewhat Disguised at the
practice of certain Republican sena-
ators in lodging the question on va
rious flimsy grounds.
Among the men who give us a
pang of disgust we might mention
Senator Borah of Idaho. The sena-
tor is from an equal suffrage state,
lieve that the federal amendment
is the only way to handle these
things Yet we have the spectacle
of Senator Rorah declaring he rep
resents "the women of the South"
and refusing to give his vote to the
Anthony amendment.
If we recall correctly Senator Be-
arb has during his fight given at
least three pledges that he would
come out or the federal amendment,
and each time he had an opportun-
ity he baked. The senator is a big
man in the West and his constitu-
ents perhaps know of his attitude on
this matter, but while the suffra-
gists are working hard to convert a
Democratic senator to their way of
thinking, we have conceived the idea
that Senator Borah's position is not
SO strong that he cannot be shelled
out by little judicious publicity in
certain sections of the West, nor is
he so invulnerable that attack on his
record as a stand-patter to his own
Pledges would not at least prick the
skin of even his hardened front.
We sometimes have wondered any
how whom does Rorah represent,
for his attitude in this matter
would lead us to believe that while
elected by Republican Idaho he is
trying to run with Democratic Vir-
PIMA or North Carolina in the mat
ter of the federal amendment-d7 a
ter of the federal suffrage amend
ment.-Tampa Tribune.
While it is true Senator Borah
represents Idaho in the United
States senate. still he is an Idahoan
by adoption only He originality
came from Kansas, the state which
produced such freaks as "Sockless"
Simpson, Mary Ellen Lease and Car
RE Nation, Therefore we wonder not
at the arbitrary stand taken by the
erstwhile Kansan sirnamed Borah.

to Get Busy by March IS
or Suffer Penalty.

Don't wait until the final due date,
March -, for paying your Income Tax
and making your return. Avoid the
last minute rush. Any person can fig
ure out his liability today as well as he
can next week, and If there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get in touch with Revenue man
This word of advice IS from William
G. Whalcy, Collector of Internal Reve-
me, Helena, Mont, who IS collecting
the Income Tax i'm Montana, Idaho and
Utah. Cullecto" Whaley is giving with
out charge every aid of his office and
his enla ged field force to help the peo-
re get their payments and their re-
turns in by March 10Th.
But the Income Tax men will nO'
pull your door-bell or your coat-tnils
according to the Collectors announce
ment 1t Is squarely up to every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy If he comes within the
scope Of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Much?
Every unmarried person who re-
ceived income averaging S19.25 a week
during 1918 and every married couple
who Jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank blank Form 1910 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the government
The law requires that every unmar-
ried person who had net income of
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was 50 900 or
over (incudlng the income of husband
or wife and the earnings of minor
children, II any must make return
on or before March 18TH And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes a tax.
Taxable Income.
An individual must include under
gross income all gains profits and in
come derived from salaries, wages or
compensation for personal service of
whatever kind and in whatever form

Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits FROM
net Income, together with the personal
exemption. AS in previous years, divl-
deuds of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal tax when received
by the stakeholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
ana residents are as follows: On the
first $1,000 of net income in excess of
the credits the rate is 6 per cent on
any further taxable income the rate IL
l. per cent
The surtaX rates apply to net in
come of each individual in excess of
$1,000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the case Of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net in
come Of each is considered separately
in computing any surtax that may be
due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns Of net income exceed

form will show how to figure the sur

ders that broke the famous linden
burg line, now en- route home, was on
Saturday elected Justice of the Peace
from the Sixth district, defeating j.
w. Bendefman. Capt English was a
candidate without his knowledge or
consent, having been nominated for
the office by The Herald soon after
the vacancy occurred" He is the first
Tennessee soldier Of the great war
for civilization to be elected to Of
flee and the compliment is all the more
appreciated coming as it did through
no effort of his and without any cam
paign organization in his behalf.
Capt. English opponent made an &C.
tive campaign and personally asked
voters to support him, but the people
of the district by a majority of nine
teen, in very light vote, expressed
the view that men who had left their
Offices, their families and their homes
to go across the seas to fight for them
were entitled to the honors of office.
Capt. English was a member of the
county court when war was declared
He was also at the same time men,
Der of the legislature. He promptly
volunteered although over the age for
military service, was commissioned
captain of machine gun company in
the old Second Tennessee Infantry
and later was transferred to the 18th
Machine Gun Battalion. In the fight
ing in Flanders he was wounded and
remained for seven weeks in a hospit.
al Capt. English will return to the
county to take his old seat in the
county court. His friends hope that
he will be able to be seated at the
April term, but that is rather doubt
full. However, when he does return
he will be cordially welcomed.
Capt. English received every vote
but two in a poll of forty-one at his
home box, Enterprise. He tied the
vote at SCOTS Mill. the home of his
opponent, and lost Southport by ten
and Bigbyville by eight votes. The
vote at Southport, in proportion, was
the largest cast at any precinct.

South America will
Buy Furniture

More than a million dollars
worth of furniture is imported
annually by the West Coast
countries of South America
Chile, Peru, Educator, and b.
livia-and there is to be an in
crease as normal conditions are
restored. A report issued today
by the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, Depart
ment of Commerce, states that
"a great many of the inhabitants
have accumulated money during
the war and that they will buy
high-grade, very ornate furniture
as soon as they can get it.
Unfortunately only medium
priced and cheap furniture has
been imported from the United
States in the past, all Of the high
grade product coming from Eu-
rope. This has created the i'm
preston that American furni-
ture is Inferior, and it is urged
that steps be taken to improve
this impression as quickly as pos
sible. The high-grade market is
well worth trying for as the
wealthy people pay very high
prices for what they want. It is
not unusual for newly married
couples to put off buying furni-
ture until they get to Europe on
their honeymoon, when they go
in for the best to be had.
Chile is the best market for
furniture on the West Coast, and
the styles demanded range from
the simplest patterns to highly
ornate Louis XVI designs, which
are most admired. The best
grades of Louis XVI furniture
sell for 81, 500 to $4,000 per suite.
Marble tops are insisted upon for
many pieces.
