SOLDIER BOY KICKS

Currie Of Melrose, Mass, who is just
home from operating Red Triangle
huts in the Calais and Ypres sectors.
The censor one evening came across
letter from a boy to his folks back
home, in which the "Y" was PANIED
and served on toast with a garnish of
all the Scotch blessings and reverse
English the boy had on hand. Now
the censor is a pretty tired man. and
/ should not have blamed him il he
had let that letter 60. But there was
an extra strong touch of exaggeration
in 1t that reused the censor's sense Of
justice.
So he sent the letter to the captain
Of the boys company and the captain
called the boy in. This is the CONVEX
sation that followed:
did you write this letter.
"Yes, sir"
"Read 1t over@is. there anything
there you'd like to change before it
is sent?"
"No, sir"
Then there was a short pause. in
which the captain studied the boy
and the boy set his jaw stubbornly.
Finally:
"Where did you get this letter."
"The ~ SIR"
"Who gave you the paperT"
"The ~ sir"
"It's warm and coy, and something

There was another pause, and the
boys face was redder and his express
sion softer. Then:
"If you don't mind, sir, I'd like to
see that letter again."
Without word he took 1t from the
officers hand, tore It once across. and
dropping it into the basket made his
salute. turned on his heel and walked
out.

A Tax Time Clock at the Altar
and the Cradle.

The Internal Revenue Bureau,
which constitutes itself the official in
terpreter of the income tax law, now
provides a special headache for newly
married men and two headaches for
young fathers. A year ago, when such
persons we're making out their income
reports, they had only to stop and
think whether on December 81, 1917,
they were married or not, and whether
they were or were not on that date
the fathers Of children under the age
of eighteen years. Now all is compli-
Gated, for the Internal Revenue Blu
reau makes this announcement:
IF you were entitled to any OF the
foregoing exemptions $4,000 for sin
gle person, $4,000 for married person
or head of a family. and 5000 additional
for each dependent child) during part of
ths-;'aar only. you may claim as many
twelfths of the exemptions stated as
there were months in such part OF the
year; any part OF a month may be
counted as a MONTH"
For example, If JOHN SMITH got
married on February l, 1913, he is
one-twelfth bachelor and eleven
twelfths benedlck for income tex pur-
poses. Instead Of deducting $1,000
from his income, as his righttul ex-
emption as a married man, he is
permitted to deduct only $1,000 plus
eleven-twelfths of $1,000, or $1,a16G6.
The month he waited before leading
his bride to the altar costs him the
tax on $S333. This Mt 6 per cent. Is

him wait until June his tax will cost
him $50 more than SMITH pays.

THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
Let Americans Honor Him BY Re-
membering His Teachings.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: Will
you kindly allow me to offer through
THE SUN a suggestion for a monument
TO Theodore Roosevelt which shall be at
once an honor to the men OF America
and to him, an offering of the reverence
he so truly merits.
1t has been given to few men TO be so
honored in life and so mourned in death
as has been Theodore Roosevelt
Here In his own country. from North
to South. from rising to setting sun. one
voice of praise for his life work has
arisen. one murmur OF sorrow for his
death has been heard. From far off
lands an echo OF each comes back to US.
To the many noble words spoken and
written OF him. let me add my humble
tribute in these words:
Thank God for the life and example to
all Americans OF Theodore Roosevelt!
Many suggestions are now being made
OF some worthy monument In his native
land. II. as many Of US believe. and all
Of US hope. he whom we desire to honor
can still view the course OF events in his
beloved country in this momentous hour.
could any honor so rejoice his great
heart as tho evidence that his example,
his teachings his pleadings. are bearing
fruit here? How many of those men. ir-
respective OF party and forgetting all
gave that they are Americans. who with
bowed heads and moist eyes have lis
tened to his praise from the lips Of our
best orators and preachers. will put their
reverence for him to the test OF asking
themselves. How would Roosevelt speak
and act and advise US to-day?
on our Presidents return from his I'M
authorized mission TO settle the affairs
OF all Europe and of part of Asia and
Africa. TO demand OF Americans unqual-
fled endorsement of his policies. how
many In Congress assembled and
throughout our land will be Influenced
and strengthened by the memory OF him
who would be guided himself only by one
ambition. TO do what is right for Amer
leans TO do?
A near kinsman OF my OWL uttered IN
our civil war the first absolutely fear
less order TO the American people In
the reflected honor OF his patriotism,
venture to OFFER this suggestion:
Make of your reverence a lasting mon
ument to Theodore Roosevelt, and may
his influence be undying in the hearts of
our people. c. NJ. DIX.

New York Harbor's Future.

A tentative draft Of the proposed
treaty between New Jersey and New
York States, under which 1t Is hoped
to create a corporation to be known
as the Port Authority for the orderly
and economical development and mod
ernizaton Of this harbor, will be sub
mitted to the commercial bodies of the
affected communities to-day for in
spection, discussion. and, wherever
necessary, correction.
The object of this enterprise has the
support Of everybody. The harbor Of
New York lies in two States, and this
political division has prevented its
natural superiority from being used
to the greatest advantage in the past.
But it is plain that, whereas every
body Is In agreement as to the general
desirability Of centralized authority
and direction IN coordinate improve
ment of the harbor, everybody Is not
going to agree on all the details Of
the plans put forward. There will be
disagreements about the uses to which
certain sections Of the port will be
put, about the order in which improve
ments shall be introduced, and about
many other things. To bring har-
mony among the conflicting interests
will be hard task.
Nevertheless, that task can be ac-
complished If there are good sense, de-
termination and broad understanding
in the Port Authority, and the fnct
is remembered always by It and by
the public 1t will represent. that i'm
provements, not revenge. the common
good, not sectional advantage, are its
objects II Port Authority Is Gre
ated, and 1t works constructively, 1t
will achieve tremendous good for the
territory adjacent to New York har-
Dor and the territory commercially
and industrially dependent on 1t; and
If It does not work constructively the
Port Authority had better not come
into being.

A Precedent Breaking Commissio n.

Precedent Breaking Commission.
We congratulate the Commission on
New Prisons on Its moral courage and
unusual initiative. Having, to the
best Of It's Judgment served the State
in the capacity for which 1t was ap-
pointed, having done It's work and
having found that the Superintendent
Of State Prisons can now proceed
without its assistance, 1t has requested
the Legislature to terminate its ex-
istence and relieve the State treasury
Of the expense Of Its maintenance.
The presidents are pretty generally
against such an act Of self-destruc-
ton. A State commission once created
sticks I'd the payroll like a burr to a
sheep. Commissioners, secretaries,
clerks, messengers, all look on their
Jobs as permanent Most State COM
missions long outlive their usefulness
and cease to draw pay only when a
Legislature opposed to them in poll
tics chops them OF the payroll.
The members Of the extraordinary
Commission on New Prisons are
CHARLES BULKLEr HUBBELL, chair
man; ELHERT II. GARY; the State
Architect, the Superintendent of State
Prisons and the Superintendent Of
Public Works. They have earned the
applause Of the taxpayers. but they
must expect the denunciation of all to
whom public Office is a private snap.

The League Of Nations In Plan Like
the Russian Soviets.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Mr..
Poindexter. in his able speech of warn
ing to the American people. compared
the proposed workings Of the League Of
Nations to that OF the Soviets in Russia.
Its body of delegates and executive
council and permanent secretariat' are
very largely a duplication Of the frame
work Of the Soviets," he declared.
In his address at the opening of the
Paris conference January %. Mr.. Wilson
said when proposing the League Of Ma
tons: Tho select classes of mankind are
no longer the governors OF mankind the
fortunes Of mankind are now in the
hands OF the plain people Of the whole
world"
Has Mr.. Wilson at any time by speech
or writing adversely criticised the So
viets as q body or the principles under
lying the movement? True It is he has
condemned in general the things they
are accused Of in the line Of criminality /;
but that Is not the point
1t Is not surprising. therefore. that We
fnd the basic principles of the League
OF Nations harmonize in a manner with
the Russian Soviet system.
All of which opens line OF thought
that may be worthy of application.
