tales included by a unanimous vote.
Well does the book deserve Its Sc

greatest df all the novels of the sea,

Of which / have written.
IT has more of the best Of Cooper,
and less of his worst, than any OF his
naval or other romances. No writer
was ever more at home on a ships
deck than Cooper-nOt even Marryatt.
And all his knowledge of the great
deep, the way of ships therein. the
habits and customs of sailors, has been
utilized in full measure in this immor-
tai story. 1t rings true alike to sea-
men and landsmRn.
There is a subsidiary story concern
ing the love affairs of gallant young
sea officer, Sir Wycherly Wychecomber
and Mildred -Bluewater, dam
sci as lovely. as delicate and as inane
as Cooper at his worst could describe,
Whenever she appeared she was either
suffused with bushes or bursting into
tears. On one occasion she wept

en-, retired officer and woman of the
middle class, Mildred turns out to be
the lawful niece of one of the two ad
mIrais, just In time to soothe his dyinf
hoprs; while her husband. Virginian
turns up In the nick Of time with the
papers in his hands to prove his sue
cession to the ancient title and lands
of Wychecombe. All of which is ex
cessively tiresome.
Fortunately the greater part Of the
hook is taken up with the doings o.
the Two Admirals. The puerile. pre-

REDUCING TAXES AND RE.
MOVING WAR RESTRICTIONS

The Republicans never tire Of talk.
ing about the high taxes and the con.
tinuance Of the war restrictions and
they charge it all 10 the Wilson ad-
ministration. Notwithstanding the
fact that the present Congress Is
Republican in both branches, and was
elected two years ago under the ex.
press pledge to reduce taxation and
remove the war restrictions, it has
forgotten all its pledges and prom
ises and played politics TO the ex-
clusion Of everything else. This
Congress has had the power to do
oil these things and under our con.
stitution there is no other power or
authority to do them. There is only
one way to remove burdensome taxes
or other drastic laws and that is by
repeal. Nobody denies that the great
war-revenue laws were hastily drawn
and enacted in an Emergency. Ex-
perience soon proved that while these
measures were permissible In war,
they were intolerable in peace. This
Congress has made, no attempt to
revise or readjust taxatisn. They
have failed at every point. Not one
tax burden has been removed. The
truth Is that the Goth Congress, Re.
publican in both branches, has made
no effort to gown the country. II
has rfused to make peace, thereby
keeping alive many drastic war laws
and 1t has deliberately retained war
taxes, defining even to correct DEM
onstrated errors and injustice. There
never was a more glaring betrayal
OF public duty, preposely entered to
create discomfort and to exasperate
the people into the election Of a Re.
publican President.

IL War was the price we paid for the
mistake. But will Senator Harding
or any Of his followers dare to say
that 1t was 4 mistake to ratify and
accept the constitution Of the United
States! The ambiguity to which the
Senator referred was the failure to
say whether or not the states enter
ing into the union had the right to
withdraw or TO secede. But who will
say Is wrong to enter II In the first
place? That failure did In fact lead
US into the Civil War. When Mr..
Wilson returned from Paris In March
year ago, to submit the first draft
OF the League Covenant to the Sen.
ators for their advice. Il was Mr..
Root who suggested an amendment
to cover this point. giving any ma
ton the right Of withdrawal upon
six years notice. Mr.. Wilson had
this amendment incorporated into the
final draft, and still further amended
so ~ to give any nation the right
OF withdrawal within two years. This
Is the only ambiguity to which SEN

face that II contains no such ambig-
uity although the American Consti-
