President Harding expressed at VAL
ley Forge, as he has expressed in sew
eral recent speeches, the highest ide-
ais of Americas helpfuIness to man
kind and cooperation for the advance
ment of justice, peace add prosperity
throughout the world. His sentiments
are beautiful and are admirably ex-
pressed. "I can think of an America, I"
he said at Valley Forge, "that can
maintain every heritage and yet help
humanity throughout the world to
reach little higher plane"
How and when, Mr.. President? How
is America to do this thing? What is
the program? When will we begin to
do it?
Mr.. Harding has rejected with scorn
the League of Nations, accepted by
about fifty nations, embodying in prac-
tical form the highest ideals for the
guaranteeing of justice, liberty and
peace and the promoting of human
welfare.
The Senate has adopted unanimous
~ resolution authorizing the presi-
dent to obtain from Great Britain and
Japan an agreement for a naval holi-
day. But the resolution fingers in the
house for consideration and amend
ment, presumably at his will. He is
silent on the subject.
Beautiful sentiments and exalted
ideals "mean nothing" unless they are
translated iuto definite policies and
concrete programs-unless they crys-
talize in action.
The world moves on, civilization is
sinking, imperialism is reviying, wars
are Matching, militarism is growing,
taxes for war preparations piled on
taxes for war debts are crushing the
peoples of the earth. Catastrophe
contronts the civilized world, yet the
greatest and richest of the nations,
the leader of democracy, lags in the
work of reconstruction and peace.
The leaders of the nation, subtly de-.
stroying the guarantees of peace
which have been set up, are dumb and
inert as to the form of cooperation
and the guarantees they are willing to
undertake. America is Stacker in
the work President Harding says she
wants to do.

ct the regular session, and the cut
would have been made applicable to
the year 1921. The Governor might
have approved the bills reducing the
income tax and the corporation fran
chise tax and have saved the people
of the state many millions. He might
have recommended to the General As
sembly the same reduction of levies
he now proposes for the extra session.
But he dinn't. 1t was only when an
outraged public sentiment scared him
that he even consented to discuss re-
duction of levies.
or course, no reduction that is made
at the special session can be made ef-
fective in 1921, and the reductions
suggested by the Governor are inad-
equate, in view of the tremendous in
crease in assessments. The result
will be that the revenue of the state
for 1921, plus the balance of nearly
five million dollars left by Governor
Gardner, will yield an enormous fund
which the state does not require and
which can only be used for the pur-
pose Of executing the inordinately ex-
trayagant appropriations made at the
regular session.
The Trenton Times, published in the
Governors home city, suggests fur
ther, that "Sophomores in state poll
itics are expensive" They are, truly.
So are public officials who act first and
then think aboLt it, whose policies are
based upon inaccurate information, in
ane theories and careless disregard
for the experience of the state. A
well-considered, intelligent and wise
administration program, put forth by
an executive of knowledge and judg-
ment would not require two sessions
of the Legislature, in order to bring
about it's execution.
A program that is one thing today,
something else tomorrow, and, Heav-
en- knows what, fortnight hence, is
costly and discreditable. Moreover, it
is something new in Miss ouri.

than we we will actually pay for war

than we we will actually pay for wal
preparations.
Other nations, W ithout an agree
ment to disarm, will be affected as we
are affected, with less wealth of re-
sources and men to bear the burden.
They will pay proportionately to
maintain their military establishments,
even if war does not occur, which is
likely if arming continues, far more
than Germany pays for the price OF
defeat.
Germany is fortunate. Not only
will she pay less for defeat than the
victors pay for armaments, but, hav-
ing no armaments, practically all oi
her man power, her inventive genius
her scientific ability, her raw materials
and and her surplus earnings will be
devoted to industrial, economic,
scientific, educational and social
progress. The chances in the next 40
years are in her favor, unless her late
enemies are ruled by reason instead
of madness. She is likely to come out
of the reparations period richer than
all her neighbors. The vanquished
will exceed the victors in progress.
The Versailles treaty may prove a
disguised blessing to Germany, be-
cause it takes from the shoulders of
her people the cursed burden of arma-
ments. It frees them for constructive,
produtive and progressive labor.
War preparations are more costly
reparation.

some record of the esteem in which
he was held in the community and the
service which he rendered should
have place in the public press. Az.
ariah Martin was born in Madison
county, Kentucky, November II, 1888,
and departed this life at his home,
near Arcadia, Mo-, May 10th, 1921,
aged 81 years, five months and twen-
y.three days.
On May %, 1867, he was united in
marriage to to Miss Amanda Hill,who
died March %, 1893, aged 81 years and
seven months. On May 5, 1901, he was
again united in marriage to Mrs. Cath
crime Casteel, whose maiden name
was Allgier. This marriage brought
four children into the home towards
whom we learn he rendered the part
of a faithful parent. Having no child
rem of his own following his first mar
riage, he adopted an infant child as
his son, who has become one of our
deserving citizens-I refer to DR.. J.H,
Martin, who in the declining years OF
his venerable foster father has shown
most commendable devotion and
mutual return in caring for him.
Brother Martin is survived by one
brother, James D. Martin, who lives
in Quanah, Texas.
The deceased had lived at the home
where he died for "a years. In 1916
the family removed to Missouri at
Pennington and then moved to the
home where he died, esteemed.by MI
neighbors and regarded by all ss
splendid neighbor, citizen aud friend.

missouri State Journal.)

A very pertinent suggestion has
been made by the Trenton Times, IN
connection with Governor Hyde's
announcement as to the work mapped
out for tie extra session. The Times
says, "Why not have two sessions
every year, one to undo the work OF
the other?n There is real merit in
this observation, under this admins
tration.
There is nothing which the extra
session can be called upon to do that
the regular session could not have
done, with the possible exception of
legislation dealing with the $60,00O,-
600 Road Bond Issue. Manifestly,
many of the proposals for legislation,
to be enacted at the extra session,
originate in the Governors hindsight;
at first, he was not enamored of the
notion of reducing taxes. His per-
sonal organs in st. Louis and Kansas
City complained early in the regular
session, because Democratic senators
and Democratic representatives per-
sisted in introducing bills for reduc-
tions of taxes. One political writer,
presumed to be intimate with the
Governor and familiar with his plans,
asserted that Democrats were trying
to cripple Hyde depriving his admin
istration Of adequate revenues. We
were told in organs OF the administra-
tioD, such as the Richmond Mis-
sourian, that the day of low taxes
and small public expenditures had
passed in Missouri and that none need
ever expect their return. We were
to be favored by wondrously scienti'
fic State Government, built upor
modern lines, and everything that hat
hitherto been done was to be undont
and then done over again. It was t
be worth allit cost US.
Something has happened to cause
modification in the Governors pres
ent views as to taxation, or at least h.
has found 1t necessary to assume tina
his views have been modified. Pub
lie indignation has overwhelmed tn
executive and alarmed his associates
Goaded by the Democratic press Q
the state and frightened at the pro
gress Of the Democratic referendum
campaign, the Governor Is trying
new tact-h6 is in favor Of cutting ia
levies, or at least he thinks he Is. "A
so states in bis announcement at Kan
sas City this week and the extra SET
sion is to do the job.
If the Governor had known any
thing Of the actual needs Of the State
il he had hearkened at first to Il
appeals Of the Democratic members
the Senate and the House, the incon
tax might have been cut half In tv

Apes Fear Fire.

Explorer Stanley has given an ac-
count Of apes that carry torches at
night. He was doubtless mistaken, for
all the monkey tribes are afraid of
fire. Nevertheless, gorillas will gather
about a deserted campfire for the sake
of warmth-though it never occurs to
them to keep the embers alight by
adding fresh fuel.

Fortunate Germany.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
1t is reported from Berlin that the
German Government proposes to levy
tax of 20 per cent on all property in
Germany for the purpose Of paying
the reparations bill Of the allies. The
tax is to be placed on the property as
a mortgage, to be paid in installment
as the reparations pavments hacnnaA
due. Stock to the amount of 20 per
cent is to be taken by the Govern
ment in all business corporations and
the earnings to be devoted to the
same purpose!
The total reparations bill is about
$33 900, 900, 900, to be paid in AZ years.
This includes, of course, all that has
been paid in money or its equivalent
in value of all sorts of commodities or
service, but the remaining sum to be
paid is staggering and the tax is
naturally regarded as unbearaple.
The Germans, however, should take
comfort They are fortunate-more
fortunate than they now realize-in
one respect: they have no great Mill
tary establishment on land or sea to
maintain. Under the peace treaty
they are forced to disarm and their
military forces are limited to modest
police needs.
The Congress of the United States
last year appropriated altogether for
military purposes the sum of $S46, ,813,
593 more than our total expenditures
Ibefore the war. This amount, il con-
tinued for 40 years, and unless an
agreement to reduce armaments
Iis arrived at and we abandon
/ our isolation it will increase every
| year, will amount to nearly $34 900,
100000, more than the total Of the
German reparations bill, with two
years of the payment time cut off.
4 In other words, if we do not entel
an association of nations to guarantee
peace and obtain disarmament or OBJ
, tain an agreement to disarm, we shal
have to pay more for armaments il
preparation for Hdefensen or anothe
war than Germany will pay in tn
} same time for reparations. We shal
, be as heavily burdened in taxes a
Germany is burdened.
D But the actual m money is only par
: of the burden we shall have to beal
