Ye editor of the Republican must
have been feeling a trifie touchy
when he penned his editorial last
week in reply to our feeble effort
State revenue wagon when it seems
to be running backward down hill.
Or maybe its is a new game. If we
haven't been 'rummed." we have at
least been "eurekaed." He reminds
us of old Don Quixote, who was cal
ways fighting windmills." We have
more bad luck than anybody. We
offer suggestion that the over
bead cost of administering our As
cal laws should be lessened by re-
ducing to a minimum, only to be
tainted with the heinous crime of
having received on an average $500
per month from a Republican Drain
age Board. But the junior PEN
pusher of the Herald should be
sufficiently Modified by having been
described as one learned in the
law"
However if the Republican really
wants to turn this little passage to
partisan ends, well and good. What
the Democrats want is not an i'm
possible perfection. but reduction
in overhead cost" which the G. o.
P. editor says is attached" to "our
system of assessing, levying, col
lecting and spending" AYE, there's
the rub" SPENDING"
II % percent of our taxes now
goes for administration why not
economic and reduce it? Do the
taxpayers of Ohio County think the
present Court House ring" is worth
that much to them? Are they get
ting their moneys worth? Is ii
worth SEQ per month, for instance,
to have water furnished to the
court house, Jail etc. by the local Re
publican light and power company?
ne law regulates lHt lees OF IS-
Enumeration TO be paid for certain
services, but these statutory provi-
sions fail 10 fix definite bounds to
expenditures for various purposes,
both overhead" and under
ground" But more of this anon.
As to our system of taxation, if it
is not satisfactory, it can be and
should be changed. The Republi-
can party made its last State cam
paign on its promise 10 reduce the
burden on the taxpayers, yet taxes
are higher than ever before and we
have as little as ever to show for
IT, They gained working majority
in the General Assembly. but still
they haven't freed old Ring" RE
vision upward" seems TO be their
party slogan in state taxation as
well as in tariff legislation.

An Interview With Col. H. c. White
head, Remount Service, U. S, A.

despite our present-day motor
driven vehicles and trench warfare,
the ratio Of horses to men for the Al
lies was as one TO four against one
horse to each 81 men during our own
Civil War. And had the former con-
fiict lasted few weeks longer, the
shortage Of horses would have been
woefully acute: The broad plans OF
the American Remount Association
for selective breeding are, therefore,
an important link In our chain Of ma
tional defense"

Sim FEM FOUNDER
AND GAELIC LEAGUE
HEAD ARE RELEASED

Dublin, June 30.-(By the Associat-
ed Prcss) Arthur Griffith, founder of
the Sim Fein, and Prof. John Mac
NeilI, president of the Gaelic League
were released from Mountjoy prison
today.
Both were arrested in November
last. MacNeill was released uncondi-
tionally a few days later but on Dec.
1 was rearrested with his son. In May
last a daring attempt was made by a
party of Sim Feiners to free Griffith,
but the guards in Mountjoy prison
drove the attacking party of. The
reason given for the arrests was that
the British government desired to as
certain the responsibility Cf Griffith
and MacNeill for the employment of
Irish republican funds in ambuscades
and other operations involving the loss
OF the lives Of British troops. Both
were elected recently to the Ulster
parliament.
Michael Stanes and E. J. Duggan.
Sim Fem members of the British
House Of Commons, also were released
from Mountjoy prison.
Mr.. Griffith and Professor MacNeill
arc expected to attend the conference
with Mr. De Valera at the Mansion
House Monday. The republican lead
er has not invited any hard SHELF
Unionists to this meeting, and his
choice is taken as indicating concen-
tration on the policy of one parlia-
ment for the whole of Ireland.
Though the general belief is that
Mr.. De Valera will ultimately reject
Premier Lloyd Georges invitation,
many Sim Feiners give it as their
opinion that he will strengthen his
position by accepting. and thrashing
out all points of dispute, with the
British prime minister and Sir James
Craig at the London conference. In
the meantime there is little sign of
a truce The republican army opera :
tions and plans for repression on the
part of the government are unrelax-

NEED OF CONC
SLOW REDUCING
ARMY PERSONNEL.
President Tells Con-
gress in Signing Ap-
preparation Bill
Sees Complications in Sum-
mary Dismissal of Men En-
listed Beyond Oct. bad
Effect on Morale of Army
Feared-Would Tend to Dis
courage Future Enlistments

Washington. June 30.-President
Harding informed Congress today that
while he had signed the army appro-
priation bill with it's provisions for a
reduction of the regular army to 15O.-
coo men by next October /, it might
be necessary to ask for a modification
of the measure later to avoid embar-
rassment to the secretary of war.
The president declared in a special
message sent to both the Senate and
the House that summary dismissal
from the army of men who had en-
listed for longer period than Octo-
Der l would seem to involve a repudi-
alton of a moral obligation by the
government which would have it's Of
iect upon the morale of the army and
possibly influence enlistments in the
future.
The nature of the notifications
which might be Asked for later was
not disclosed, nor did the president
explain how it was proposed to meet
the moral obligations to the men and
at the same time carry out the di-
1ectiCn Of Congress to reduce the
force by some 10000 men in the next
three months. He did say, however,
that every effort will be made to meet
the requirement of the Congress at the
earliest possible day"
Secretary Weeks in discussing the
bill today said that if the war depart
ment succeeded in meeting the limita-
lions imposed by Congress some 3d.
600 civilian employees of the army, be-
sides the 10000 enlisted men, would
be thrown on the labor market to
tim. He added that the war depart
ment still hoped to be able to avoid
the summary dismissal OF any enlisted
men in reducing the army and that
Tor the present no enlisted men would
be discharged against their wishes.
He explained that an opportunity
wound be given enlisted men i'll the
service who desire to leave to tender
their designations. In this way. he
said. it was hoped to avoid forced
discharges. For the next few weeks,
Mr.. Weeks added. only routine and
requested discharges would be issued.
If these do not indicate that the en-
listed strength will reach the level
fixed by Congress, the question of ar
bitrarily discharging enough men to
make up the difference will then be
taken up.
In signing the uill President Hard
ing was understood to have followed
a course regarded by his advisers as
t.e only practicable one in view of the
insistence Of both the House and Sen
ate that the army be reduced as pro-
posed in the measure and the short
time remaining before the end of the
fiscal year.

STILLMAN DODCES
LEADING QUESTIONS
AT DIVORCE HEARING

Poughkeepsie, n. Y. June 30-Six
more hours of cross examination
failed today to break the silence of
James A. Stillman, on every matter
having reference to his relations
with Florence HI Leeds, former
Broadway show girl. named by Mrs.
Anne L. Stillman in her affirmative
defense against her husbands suit
for divorce.
All day long he repeated his re-
plies of yesterday to questions in one
set way: Il refuse to answer on the
ground that it might tend to incrim-
mate me-" On only a few occasions
did Mrs Stillman's lawyer bring out
an informative answer amid this
menotonous chain of refusals. Mr..
Stillman answered their questions
only when they referred to gifts of
jewelry to his wife.
Tonight it was announced that his
cross examination had been COM
pleted. He will return to the wit
ness stand tomorrow, however, if his
attorneys obtain Referee Gleason's
permission for redirect examination
on subjects uncovered during the
cross examination. 1t was said that
Mr.. Stillman's lawyers would COM
plete their case against Mrs. Still
man tomorrow so that all future
hearings would be devoted to her
counter attack.
An Indication of the nature of this
counter attack came today in the
numerous questions which Mr.. Still
han refused to answer. These in
auiries it was said, sought to bring
out that he was intimate with Mrs.
Leeds in New York on Long Island.
aboard his yacht, the 'Modesty" and
elsewhere, and that she bore him
two children, Jay Leeds, 35 months
Old. and another who died at birth
in 1919. The defense also sought to
