TAXPAYERS SHOULD ARISE.

The nation Is not living within It's
income: il is setting wretched example
10 the people The treasury today Is
spending taxation receipts. through the
issuance Of certificates of indebtedness,
which IT will not actually receive TOR
nine months 70 come Stea dily the future Is
being encroached, making more violent
the readjustment which must come.
Officials struggle, through the juggling
Of figures, to conceal the fact Of national
improvidence The most alarming feature
Of the situation appears 10 be this: The
adoption Of military and naval program
by Congress means that It viii be difficult,
if not impossible, TO reduce appropriations
for the two services below he billion dollar
mark IN the future.
The strongest possible pressure will bs
brought 20 bear for an increase, rather
than a decrease In the next session of
Congress the campaign for unlveraI mill
tary training, 10 cost several hundreds
Of millions Of dollars, Is 10 be renewed
The great items Of the national budget
seem 10 be- almost proof against the fight
for economy, while Congress makes much
to-do about saving a few millions in the
appropriations for rivers and haTbors and
for public buildings, or, perhaps, IN cutting
out free seeds TO the folks at home.
The facts are 50 tkar that they ought
to be brought home TO the people The
voice of the taxpayer ought 10 be heard

GERMAN MAJORITY SOCIALISTS.

In our party we can observe q distinct
move towards the Left. The distTust
among the Horkmen has greatly increased
and the attitude Of the bourgeois parties
in the last few weeks has done nothing TO
diminish this distrust. Little has hitherto
been accomplished in the field Of socisliza-
ton. IL has not set been decided to
abolish military courts and the refusal Of
the Assembly to accept May as a holiday
has offended many people. May Day
itself however, showed that the Socialists
arc strong enough TO have their own way
in the matter.
The Socialist party may therefore re-
gard the May Day decision as a defeat
Of the bourgeois parties The attitude Of
the Socialists 10 the Coalition will play
an important role in the elections. We
have told the public often enough what our
position is in this matter
The Socialists by no means regard the
Coalition as an ideal; the compact was
the product Of compulsion. If the elections
should produce Socialist majority, the
Socialists would Ioyiully, and with feel
ing Of the greatest relief, bid farewell to
the Coalition. Bur if the strength Of the
parties remains unchanged the Coalition
will remain as at present constituted .-

Just Folks
By Edgar 4. Gsese
NOT A DOUBTER.

There are times | get to doubtin tnat
there is God above
Who is rulin' us in mercy and forgvin
us through love.
Now an then some awful sorrow shakes
my faith in him a bit
An ] wonder il He's gentle, why such
hurts He will permit.
Then | hear the song birds siEnin out
their chor,ises Of glee,
An | know no mortal ever made the
robins in the tree.
Oh, the humblest daisy bloomn is proof
Of power divine,
For the hand o. man has never fashioned
anything so fine.
Could n man replace the rosee II tho last
frail bush should die
Or start the grain TO CROWN If there was
no need supply?
Why, the very gold an silver which we
fight for, just to lose,
Are the products of His wisdom which
He made for us to use.
Every star which holds its station Is a
proof of power divine,
Men amy read the books of nature but
they cannot change line.
They may learn the laws established
they may argue an explnln,
But they cannot hold the sunshine when
the skies are set to rain.
Oh, the petals of blossom nm the
checks Of those we love
Are the proofs beyond all doubtin that
there is God above.

Don't Put Up the Rake and Hoe.

Here is a message for the tillers Of the
thousands Of home gardens already plant
ed in cities and the smaller towns, and
other thousands in process Of being plant
ed let every gardener remember that
his work Of food production Is only begun.
MANY amateurs make the mistake Of
putting away the rake and the hoe as
soon as they have the seeds in the ground.
The surface Of the ground should be
lightly stirred with rake and kept mel
low before the seeds come up. Often
week or so of extremely dry weather comes
after garden planting. and tins IS hable
TO cause many Of the smaller seeds 70 fail
to germinate. or, if they germinate. they
may not have enough moisture TO keep
them alive
There are two or three ways Of pre-
venting loss. One is to use the sprinkling
can and keep the surface lightly watered
until the seeds are up. Another i 70 lay
a board directlvover the row Of seeds until
they sprout and are just about ready 10
come through the ground. It does not
do. however, to leave the boards over the
row too long, as the little seedlings on
coming llp against the boards viii be bent
out Of shape and weakened Still another
method is TO scatter a little fine, sIfted
manure over the row OF seeds. Lawn
CLIPPINGS. where available. viii answer the
same general purpose, but are not SO good
as fine manure. Here, also care must be
taken that the covering is not too heavy,
or the seedlings will be injured when they
come through the ground
A steel rake is one Of the best tools Tor
cultivating the garden, because it loosens
the top inch or two Of the soil. Before
the plants are up. break the surface, ever
SO gently. over the rows, with the rake
After the plants appear use the rake ire
quently along each side Of the row TO keep
the soil loose and mellow.

PRESS COMMENTS.
SERVING TWO PURPOSES.

i. They are conducting an experiment
in weight-reduction in Chicago, where the
city health commissioner is prescribing
the food and exercise INDUCED by some
200 citizens, each OF whom Is many
pounds above normal weight. Ii is inter-
esting to read the daily menus prescribed
by the health commissioner for his patients
They furnish ample food to satisfy the
most omnivorous eater. Five menus
are provided for each day, so that the
patient is permitted to eat frequently
enough to avoid ever getting very hungry.
By religiously following these prescribed
menus two things will be accomplished; ;
first, there seems TO be no question about
the reduction in weight The experience
so far demonstrates this result as q GER
tainty Second, the cost of living may be
materially reduced. And these two re-
suits are sufficient to occasion the adop-
tion of the Chicago plan by thousands
of interested people the country over.
II is generally known that most of us
eat too much for our own well-being.
Very many Of us who recognize this fact,
however, refuse to deny ourselves the
pleasure of eating The mere physical
pleasure coming from heavy rating fur
nishes the only excuse for such Indulgence.
More food, or richer food, than IS needed
to contribute to good heglth can be
excused on no other ground. Many of
us eat merely for eatings sake rather
than to provide the SYSTEM with what it
needs. And this surplus food taken into
the stomach is heat-producing and fat
producing, so that, in the final analysis,
we pay tor the pleasure of overeating
by physical discomfort in the end The
diet prescribed by the Chicago health
commissioner would seem to be ample to
supply the need of any person in good
health. and it costs less than does the
average persons daily food. There would
appear, therefore, good reason for con-
sidering its adoption.-St. Joseph (Mo J

The Wet and Dry" Issue.

Governor Edwards Of New Jersey who
will be delegate to the Democratic
National Convention at san Francisco
is quoted as havingpublicly said he hopes,
to there give Mr. Bryan the poli' cal
battle Of his life Backed by the senti-
ment Of his State ar expressed at the cleo
ton last November, and Of the Demo
Gratis Of New Jersey at this years prl-
mary, Governor Edwards will labor for a
declaration in the Democratic national
platform in protest Of the Prohibition
Amendment to the Constitution and the
Volstead Enforcement act Mr.. Bryan will
oppose this and work hard for an indorse-
ment of national prohibition.
1t is probable both these champions Of
opposing sides will meet with defeat The
Democratic National Convention Is not
likely to 90 on record as either opposing pr
indorsing prohibition. And the same may
be said Of the. Republican convention at
Chicago. The issue is too much Of hot
poker for either political party % pickup.

RIPPLING RHYMES.

THE ENIGMA.

That monster of the western
coast is now within the prison
gate; his wives, when counted,
made host, and he had murdered
ten or eight. He married girls
where er he went, and YOU on hear
ing this, will say, HE must have
been winning gent, who had a
fascinating way But no, he had
a feline face, wolfish mouth, a
furtive air, as shy of beauty as of
grace-yet he won brides most
everywhere. The blooming dam
sells deemed TO see in Bluebeard
+. Watson things that charm; and
when be said, Wilt marry me?
They sanwered him. You bet
your arm. And 80 they decked
themselves IN white, and with him
sought the altar rail, and at the
finish of the rite he butchered them
and swiped their kale. And |
could name a dozen lads, all loaded
down with sterling worth, who've
s arched for brides in man grads,
who searched In vain throughout the
earth. | have no doubt the Blue
beard wives refused the hands of
many men who have no blemish
on their lives, who are not headed
for the pen, ! cannot understand
those maids who'll blithely marry
unknown knaves, Of woltlsh mien,
who carry spades, with which to
dig the ladies graves.

WASHINGTON. June lg.-The
keynote speech Of sen. Henry
Lodge al the republican national
convention. which was largely de-
voted 20 a bitter and partisan at
tack on Prest Wilson and his poll
cies, indicates the plane upon which
the republican party proposes TO
pitch the approaching campaign.
Rep. Alben w. Barkley OF Ken
lucky, points out that 10 meet these
personal assaults upon tho presi-
dent the country has but TO be re-
minded OF how Washington, Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Lincoln and other
great presidents were malisned. The
people will then take such attacks
at their real worth.
Called Lincoln "Baboon.r
Rep. Barley recalls that traduc-
ers OF Lincoln went even further
than present-day critics OF Pres't
Wilson. Lincoln. ne says, was called
the babOOn at the other end Of
Pennsylvania av.." his administration
was described as weak and vacillat-
ing: he was accused OF "treach-
cry" of having sacrificed the hon
or and dignity OF the nation. and
was called by some Of the critics an
"imbecile"
But where today are the traduc-
ers Of Washington; where are those
who maligned Jefferson: where are
the defamers of the character Of
old Hickory Jackson: where are
those who. with leering look and
sinister smile, sought TO besmirch
the record OF Abraham Lincoln ?"
asks Rep. Barley. They lie in un-
marked and unhallowed graves.
They have all descended into the
stiffness OF deep oblivion from which
they will never emerge"
The congressman believes that the
best and most convincing argument
10 such attacks is the fact that many
presidents, and particularly war
presidents have had their motives
misunderstood and maligned in their
day, and that history has given i'm
pcrishability 10 their names. Fur
Their along this line, he says
The figure OF Washington grows
more imposing as the years go BY,
and each year pilgrims by the thou
sands tread softly near his tomb.
JeffersOn's memory and his great
deeds are enshrined in the hearts
of n grateful poste rity. The heroic
! courage of Jackson as soldier and
statesman inspires each new genera
| ton OF American patriots. And the
| tragic career of Abraham Lincoln
| gives hope TO every struggling boy
| in this fair land. and in his honor we
/ build monuments and cities
