there were five million voters in the

flying it as a social creed embodying
as its three great tenets that there
was no God: that the state should not
exist and that marriage was a farce
that should be abolished to allow
greater personal freedom. He showed
that democracy could not exist where

the United States was headed for an

ISN'T IT THE TRUTH

The status of the soldier bonus
legislation in Washington is set forth
by the Sioux City Tribune as follows:
The debate going on in Washington
on this question now is part of the
business of the present congress to
make campaign capital. 1t is not so
much over whether it will be good for
the soldiers or the country. No ora
tor among them all has attempted to
show that the ex-service men are in
need. No showing is made that there
is unemployment. All admit that the
disabled are otherwise provided for.
The sole question is: What party ad-
vantage can be got out of it? This is
shown by the tactics employed. Both
parties have bills in for the gathering
of the money for it's disbursement
mittee on ways and means. Having a
Republican majority. that committee
decided to hog" all the credit for the
Republican party. Democrats were
excluded from the committee sessions.
A bill was reported out as a Repub-
lican bill and it is proposed to have a
Republican caucus and pass the bill
with a Republican majority.
Democrats resented this. Being as
hungry for soldier votes as their OPP
ponents, they do not propose to see
the treasury raided unless they are
money, a Republican member pro-
posed a plan to tax lands. A Demo-
crat promptly met this by a proposal
to sweat the war miilionaires." This
appearing the more popular plan,
there was immediate hustling to delay
and confuse the issue until the Dem
ocrats can be discredited. If both
parties can set credit out of the bill,
il may not go thru. Unless there is
party advantage in it, why vote for 1t ?

While apparently the most fair OF
all taxes, a tax on income in practice
is often a tax on conscientiousness and
honesty as well as on income. Many
sources of income are difficult and
often impossible for government au-
thorities to trace; there are wholesale
opportunities for evasion. A consump-
ton tax or a sales tax would be GER
tain to compel these evaders to pay at
least a part of their burden. and they
would pay it in direct proportion to
their expenditures. 1t has been urged
that such a tax would not adequately
reach the largest fortunes, hut when
the suggested tax is a supplement to
the already existing income tax this
objection has no force.

Bishop BuRCH's sudden death yes
terday comes as great shock and a
great sorrow not only to the church
In which he attained the highest emil
hence but to the residents of his do
cese who though not of the Protestant
Episcopal communion had learned in
the years OF his service to the COM
munity to admire his brave spirit and
Ills industry in civic we'll doing.
In Bishop BURCH there seemed to
be personitied more clearly than in
any other conspicuous contemporary
ecclesiastic of the Protestant EpiscoA
pal Church the theory and practice
of that religious body by which 1t has
shown In practicable and most effec-
tive fashion that the dignity of its
ritual and the historic associations of
Its service have not set ii off from the
everyday affairs Of men and women.
To Bishop BURcH religion was a
matter for every day and every min
ute, regardless of what trade or pro-
fession man might follow. 1t was
not something set aside to be guarded
zealously by priests and exhibited to
the public only on fixed and special
occasions: 1t was something for men
and women battling their way
through life to take into their minds
and their hearts, to live with and to
live by, whatever their condition.
With this conception of religion
Bishop BuRCH became naturally one
of the leaders in those enterprises
which have given us the institutional
church-the church which not only
opens its doors TO all mankind but
bids for men and women by catering
to their taste for amusement and
social life.
There is n danger that In such or
CARNATIONS the gymnasium may out
grow the auditorium in Importance.
Bishop BURcH was able 10 coordinate
the interests of the multifarious de-
partments in manner which made
all serve the object of the whole
the maintenance and extension of the
kingdom of COP on earth.
There Is q touching fact in Bishop
BuRoH's life which will not be over
looked. He administered the rite of
confirmation Sunday 10 a number of
young women in the Bedford Reform
atory. Their admission TO the com
munion testified TO the universally
of CHESTS church, universally
which gave color and depth to the
virtuous and useful life of the Bishop
withdrawn from his flock yesterday
after so short a period as head of the
! diocese.
