kRsYE AND TINE ARMENIAN RELIEF

A conference is to be held in Dies
Moines by the Near East Relief O,
which DIR. J. E. Kirbye, who received
considerable notoriety In connection
with his resignation from his pasto-
rate and entry into politics, Is direc-
tor. Invitations are being sent out 70
attend this conference. One received
by a Marshalltown person assure:
that your expenses will. be paid and
we will make every effort possible ia
entertain You while you ara alton
ding the conference Reference is
made to a luncheon. etc. The invita-
ton is signed by Kirbye.
It win be remembered that the Des
Moines Capital printed the figures
which showed Mr. Kirbye as receiv-
ing very comfortable salary in his
directorship. It was a matter OF com
ment at the time that Mr.. ilirhye
sfPuld be receiving $500 a month
while drawing his comfortable salary
from the church. II a conference is
to be held to push the charity for
Armenia and Armenian Christians it
may cause some comment to know
that those attending are to have
their expenses paid and that every
possible effort Is to be made to
entertain" them while attending the
conferences which has to do with,
raising money for the relief of star
wing Armenians.
The cause Is a holy one and eff
forts to relieve suffering are always
commendable and to be encouraged.
When the conference assemblies how
ever. it might be well enough to look
around for a state directo9 whose in
terest and desire to serve does not
include a salary and for persons suf-
ftciently interested In the relief OF
Armenia to- refuse to have their ex-
penses paid out OF funds that would
keep Armenian children alive and
save Armenian women from shame.

FUN FOR the EXPERTS,

It any more evidence were needed
as to the vicious intricacies of the
income and excess profits taxes it
has been supplied by Collector OF
Internal Revenue Murphy who re-
signs his Job as collector for Iowa
and sets up an office offering expert
counsel to taxpayers as to how to
escape the tax. This is not exactly
what he offers to do for he offers
merely expert advice as to the law
and all the multitude Of rulings that
the collectors department has issued
as to the law but in actual practice
the taxpayers who will be willing to
pay fees to Murphy for expert coun-
sci will be those who hope to escape
some part Of the tax.
There never was tax conceived
by man in all the history of the race
that created such a rush Of business
for experts" who could counsel
clleutS DIS TO now TO escape the tax.
There never was tax conceived that
so baffled the ordinary honest busi-
ness man as to how to comply
There have been few taxes in our
history which fell so unequally upon
the business Of the country and there
never has been a tax that so ef-
fectually drives capital out of pro
ductive industry into idle, unpro-
ductive investment.
So long as it lasts it will furnish a.
home for deserving democrats who
have held public office in the col
lector's department. The demand
for experts to tell us how to escape
the tax will never be satisfied until
the excess profits law has been re-
pealed and the income tax reduced
and simplifed.

Topics Of the Times

It is all explained now by the dis
covery that the women have been di-
recting their men In voting all these
years.
The democrat who insists that the
republicans bought the presidency,
with their huge campaign fund will
have hard time explaining how
Kendall got by for s1,100 when his
democratic opponent spent $4,000.
Early In the war when corn had
sold at IS cents and wheat but little
higher it was believed that il the
government would fix prices at s1.oo
for corn and $3.50 for wheat 1t would
make 5000 land. Since then we have
seen more than $500 land and it does
not seem probable that corn can stay
below s1.o0 for very long.
There is no doubt now that much
of the mill closing in the east is for
the purpose Of reducing wage scales
when the mills start up again. 1t
would be for better for the operatives
to accept fair reduction without
loss OF time which has been done in
some Industries.
Lafe insurance companies have come

The Laughing Prayer.

The Laughing Prayer.
The sorry prayers go UP to God.
Day after weary day.
They whimper thru the eternal blue
And down the Milky Way.
Deaf to the music OF the stars,
The children of desire.
Beggars before the Throne of God,
They wait for God to tire.
The proletariat Of Heaven
Swarmed to the golden street
One day when Michaels host came
UP to the Judgment Seat.
Above the heavenly mansions
Bright. streaming banners flowed,
While cherubim and seraphim
Were crowding in the road.
And then q little. laughing prayer
Came running from the sky,
Among the golden cutters where
The sorry prayers went by.
It had no fear Of anything,
But in the holy place
It found the very Throne OF God
And smiled up in His face.
Were crowding in the road.
For Michael understood,
While God looked on the laughing
prayer
And found it sweet and good.
SO God was comforted. He said:
There still is hope for men.
One man urays happily!" Aid 80
He turned to care again.

ARMIsTIcE DAY.

Armistice day is less soldiers
holiday than the celebration Of an
event that changed the world for all
Of us. Later it will probably be more
particularly soldiers holiday. Now,
with the memory of those days when
we feared the news the morrow
might bring, in that time when the
lists Of killed and wounded were
creeping down the newspaper col
umns longer and longer as the lads
swept toward scissors and on into
the Argenne, with the memory and
recollection keen Of those days at
home Armistice day Is \ holiday for
all America.
Howe we'll we remember the thrill
that went thru every loyal home in
this nation when the news came,
the impulse that sent us out to shout
madly in the streets and that
brought a Joy too great for any
human expression, the supreme
thankfulness that came with the
sensing that the war was done and
the long agony to cease. 1t will be
long ere the American people know
another day like that when a mighty
democracy Of rich and poor and
great and small rejoiced together in
a common gratitude.
1t IL q soldiers holiday. 1t Is the
commelnoration Of the end Of his
bloody task. It IN the holiday of
mothers and fathers and wives and
lovers. A wonderful day In its
memories that touch the homes and
its results in the world.
1t Is day to remember the silent
city Of crosses where glory guards
with solemn round the bivouac of
American heroes.
Times change and words draw new
meanings from the generations as
they come and pass. A hero Of this
generation is not warrior by choice
but by necessity. The men whose
bodies lie under the crosses OF over
seas cemeteries were not glory seek
ers but men with debt to pay.
They paid It to humanity ana the
wider freedom Of their time and to
purchase a larger liberty and OPP
portunity for the future. The Ameri-
can soldier was not in tho war from
choice but as duty. Living and
dead they did that duty magnificent
ly. An astonished world saw an as
sembly Of boyish citizens become an
army that In its strength and pur-
pose swept armies builded thru a
century of militarism aside and over

nounced impregnable.

to see the farm produce boosted
nisher than Gilderoy's kite-just for

to see organized labor pleading for

farmers stand in line to buy goods
that could not be bought because la
Dor had struck. We have seen crops

BETTER RAILROAD SERVICE.
Davenport Democrat.

It reads like the good old times to
note that the Rock Island railroad
is to restore the Golden State Linn
tied and to prepare to give other
roads to the coast some competition
for passenger business.
During the war period there was
no competition for passenger traffic,
and therefore a laying off of trains
and diminution of that thing when
the public likes to have and is willing
to pay for, called service
For long time people have had to
DC content with what they got and

they are to have more trains and

Out here In Iowa we are quite ia

gives greater heed to his hogs than
he does his children. The little, one
