"BY THE ETERNAL"

President Harding speaks to the officers of the first line of national defense:
 The United States of America does not want anything on earth that is not rightfuy our own, no territory, no payment, no tribute. But we do want that which is righteously our own, and, by the eternal, we mean to have it!'
 So long has it been since we have heard a presidential expletive that his old Jacksonian outburst strikes on the ear with redoubed force For the moment, perhaps we were shocked. The next, we smile, for the frank vigor of the ex- presson smacks of that directness, scorning the delicacies of diplomatic speech, which is char actistic of the America of deeds, not words And the next, we are very close to cheers.
 The President voices for the nation a sentiment which has in it something of theRooseveltian Fear God and take your own part" and the Napoleonic Providence is always on the side of
 last reserve" Harding does not seek, as Wilson did, to do perfect things in an imperfect world. He faces things as they are. He cannot be, he does not assume to be, counsel for all nations. He can be, he asserts himself to be- champion of that fearless and forward going American which has made him it's personal em- bodiment.
 '1 believe if all the governments on earth were impelled by the same motives as our own, this world would be at peace forever starting from today" he says. "But would not want peace without honor."
 To that we may say, Amen Worcester Telegram.

THE PUZZLE OF THE AGES

That there are not thousand men among the millions of citizens of the United States who can make out an average income tax statement and do it right was the assertion of Senator Reed Shoot at a recent hearing before the Finance Committee of the Senate. His assertion was ap- proved by the holding of heads of many business men who were present and who had been through the nerve-racking experience of trying to comply with the requirements of the income and excess profit tax laws.
 The immediate subject under consideration was the proposed sales tax which Senator Shoot is feathering in the Senate A witness before the committee had been explaining the simpli- city of the sales tax as compared with the pres ent income and excess profits tax. He advocated a repeal of the excess profits tax and lowering of it's higher rates of surtax, but a retention of the income tax in simplifed form. If revenue be needed to take the place of part of that cut off by repeal of the excess profits tax, he advo- cated a sales tax as most easily collected and least burdensome and annoying to the people.
 It was in that connection that Senator Shoot interrupted the witness to remark the small number of people who are able to understand the intricate provisions of the income tax law, and his comment was approved by tax expert who asserted that if the facts concerning bus mess of average complexity be placed in the hands of experts of the income tax division in the government service and they be required to make up income tax statements working separ- ately, they would not reach the same results from identically the same facts
 This is pretty fair illustration of the uncer- tanties of the present income tax law. There are thousands of income tax cases appealed to the Department here in, Washington and these go through the hands of various officials and boards. Each official is supposed to be an ex- pert. Each board is supposed to be composed of experts. Yet each time a case goes from one official to another there is likelihood of change in some ruling or inte pretation or application of the laws and regulations. Of all things in gov ernment that are indefinite and uncertain, the application of the income tax and excess profits taxes is probably the most indefinite and uncer- tain. Where two experts of the internal revenue bureau have opportunity to go over each others work, or where they work in conference, they quite often agree, but it is undoubtedly true that if a half dozen employees of the bureau were giv- en, one at time, the task of going through the books of business concern and making up a tax statement on their own judgment and com putations, it would be remarkable if any two reached the same conclusion. It is not surpris- ing, therefore that the average individual, who spends his time making the money to pay the wages of his employees and to make success of his business, cannot as rule determine his tax liability to his own satisfaction or to the satis- faction of the government experts.

Slaker Bergdoll, the millionaire whose money was made in this country, by his parents, is now up against the real thing. While he is sojourn- ing in Germany, his property in this country which made his trip to German possible, has been seized by the United States government. With his ample funds shut off, Bergdo will soon show another yellow streak and want his property back. The money his fond mommaw secured in gold for him will soon run out and, my Gawd, he may have to work for living.

GIT MUST NOT BE AGAIN"

A nation so righteous and so just that Eve shall never be called on to make war so long as God and men rule together" was the prayer of President Harding, as late today he reviewed survivors of the World War at regimental re- view in Brooklyn.

BATTLES LONG WITH FISH
Fisherman After Long Struggle Lands
Largest 0NWordfsh Ever Seen
at Seabright, N. J.

Seabright, N. IA 4OO-pound
swordfish, one Of the largest ever
brought to the shore at Seabright, N.
j., was captured near the Middle
Banks, about 20 miles from Seabright,
after a f6At of nearly three hours BY
Captain Leslie Of the Rumson ROed
colony.
After several attempts to harpoon
the fish, Captain Leslie succeeded in
spearing it in the side, and Alvin
Swanson, his companion, little later
sank another tuEt behind the head.
For over TIVE hours longer the mon-
ster thrashed about trying to shake
out the harpoons, and for a time the
boat was in danger of overturning as
1t trailed the fish in his frenzied eff
forts to break loose.
AT last, as he began to tire, the boat
was pulled up to him and Captain
Leslie landed two more harpoons be-
hind the head, which took all the fight
out of the creature. The finishing
touches were soon given, and the car
cass hauled into the boat. The fish
is said to have brought the largest
price ever paid for one Of his kind.
His sword measured more than three
feet in length.
