PROBLEM OF ExEMprEp BONDS.

One Of the most vital subjects of finance and taxa
ton to be dealt with in congress in the immediate fu
ture is the subject of tax exempt bonds, and on this
subject the New York Times has dealt with it very
clearly:
That some definite action may be taken by con-
gress soon in reference to tax-exempt securities is the
belief in financial circles, based upon recent advices
from Washington. The vast amount of these securi-
ties issued in the last three years and still being issued
in a never-ending food, it is pointed out, brings
squarely before congress the question of what to do
to prevent the escape from all federal taxes of hun
dreds of millions of dollars of income.
The tax-exempt security does not lessen the taxa
ton of the man of small income, says the investment
department of H. L. Doherty & Co, but is of ines
Unable benefit in reducing the taxation of the man
of large income. 'In fact" the concern says, "the
vast food Of these tax-exenipt securities has, in the
final analysis, increased the taxes of the man of mod
crate income. There IS seemingly no doubt that the
ease with which tax-exempt securities may be mar
keted has resulted in great extravagances on the part

H REASON WHY.

College women have begun to wonder why SO few
of their number marry. Higher education and the
culture imbibed from women teachers is given as the
governing cause in the output of the strictly female
institution. The failure to marry on the part of grad
yates of co-educational schools is not SO noticeable, it
is asserted. The question arose in the exclusively
feminine colleges of the east and spread to the fair
goods of the middle and far west when by a COM
parison Of records the facts referred to were revealed.
One young lady graduate of a co-educational school
says there is another reason.
"A college man-any man, in facts not attract
ed by a girls brains. He prefers sporty clothes and
a snappy line of talk. Many college men do marry
college women, but SO many marry the girl back
home who stopped at the end OF high school or went
to a finishing school, that there simply are not enough
left to match up with the college women, who, even
in these days of equal suffrage and jury duty, have
an instructive desire to look up to their husbands
mentally as well as In stature, and therefore demand
that they be equally well educated.
$50 there are many of US who are beir. left out
of the biggest things In life just becsuse-weIl, it
isn't entirely our fault. We are not too homely to be
looked at. We are not lacking in humor. A great
many of us laugh at Charlie Chaplin. We still thrill
over football, baseball and tennis, and some of US play
golf. And there are many of us-oh, SO many of usl
who would gladly give up our large salaries and
economic independence for a home and babies. Is it
fair?"

SACRED

Every once in a while somebody gets alarmed about
somebody else taking the Star Spangled away from
US and wants congress to, declare it to be the Off
cial national anthem. Tough as it is for most Of us
to sing, and as bad q stab as we make at 1t when we
do sing it, 1t would be extremely unhealthy for any
body to attempt to purloin that old hymn. II would
be just as safe to haul down the American flag, when
we desired it to remain up.
When Francis Key wrote the words that can never
be separated from the air we find so difficult, he wrote
them during a Crisis in the affairs of our country and
during a doubtful period in an important naval EN-
gagement. He put his patriotic soul into those words
and they will live always in the hearts of all loyal
Americans. Congress can do as It pleases with refer
ence to official action. None is needed. It is al
ready the national anthem, chosen and acknowledged
by a higher power than the American congress-the
American people. 1t will be our national anthem as
long as the stars and stripes form the emblem of the
American republic.
Later generations more skilled in harmony than we
may sing it with ease and grace which we, after more
than a hundred years practice, have failed to attain.
Nervous friends may quiet their fears. The flag
and the hymn will both remain with US. They are
pretty generally acknowledged as our property. The
more we cherish them the less the liability Of our
losing them.

YOUNG PEopLE ARID AMusgMENrs.

"How hard it is to find the golden mean" observes
the Congregationalist. "Just when the more liberal
elements in the Methodist church clamor for the lift
ing Of the bans imposed by the Book of Discipline on
amusements, fourteen Episcopal congregations in
Louisville make a simultaneous drive against what
are coming to be known as jazz manners, jazz morals,
jazz music and jazz dances. They declare that un-
der no circumstances should they be permitted in any
church or parish house under Episcopal control. 1t
seems that advantage has been taken of the leniency
which Episcopalian leaders have always exhibited to-
ward relaxations which In some other branches OF the
church are considered questionable and even wrong.
But lowered standards in these postwar days all over
the world are forcing Christian churches and homes
to consider whether the youth of today are steady and
high minded enough to indulge in exciting pleasures
without being harmed thereby. Between wholesale
prohibition and judicious participation we declare for
the latter. At the same time we are confident that
not only in Louisville but in every city and town in
the land parents should have a more intimate knowl-
edge of what their children are doing and with whom
they are going. Homes and churches should cooper
ate in the effort to strengthen the inner life of young
people so that in matters of dress, amusements and
behavior in public they shall for themselves draw the
line between liberty and license, between a really good
time and the bogus kind. This is the only cure which
we see for the laxity of the world.

FIELD DAY FOR
OFFICE SEEKERS
HERE ON MONDAY
CANDIDATES TAKE FULL ADVAN.
TAGE OF ENORMOUS CROWD
TO ELECTIoNEER.
EVERY ONE OF THEM SMILING
Alone Of All Who Came to Town They
Spoke in Glowing Terms of the
Weather, the Only Subject on Which
an Opinion Was Rendered.

From Tuesdays Daily Herald)
Candidates for county office had a
real, old fashioned field day here Mon
day They took full advantage of the
enormous crowd that was drawn. to the
city because it was first Monday and
also because they expected to hear the
preliminary trial OF Policeman Jake
Stages, charged with murder.
The candidates had a chance to see
all OF the male voters and few of the
female voters of the county and they
took full advantage of it. 1t is much
easier and whole lot more expedi.
tious to electioneering with two or
three thousand voters in a single day
on the public square than it is to tray
Ell over the county for month with
out seeing that number.
The candidates were smiling and OBJ
sequius. They were Just as agreeable
as it is humanity possible tc be. OF all
the enormous crowd that was here
Monday, only the candidates spoke in
glowing terms of the weather They
have never been more enthusiastic
about the crisp, rare atmosphere Of a
frosty October morn than they were
over weather that wilted the collars
and nalln1 for ovnnroffnnc ar-a
one else. But candidate is immune
to- discomfort. He always has on his
Sunday go to meeting" expression
when mingling with the sovereigns.
The three candidates for county
court clerk, the seven for trustee and
the seven for sheriff were shaking
hands all during the day and telling
the folks why they should be elected,
Register Pogue and Clerk Anderson
were mighty glad to see every one
about the court house, but they did
not stand in the hot sun and shake
hands with every passing voter as did
those VINO had rivals.
The county races are really just be
ginning to excite interest and during
the day there were number of street
corner groups who discussed the mer-
it's and prospects of the various aspi-
rants. There were even rumors of
possible combinations but of course
there are all premature and so far ey.
cry single candidate is playing alone
hand.
