nave managed to survive, though the
death rate was very high, far higher
than it would have been had there
been more old clothes from America
to distribute among them and among
the adults, who were just as badly off.
1--WE frequently found overseas that
clothing was far better than medicine
in preventing the spread OF disease. 1t
happened constantly that when clothes
were received in a refugee camp that
there would be an immediate drop in
the death rate. To see the gratitude
on the face of some poor, half frozen
creature when warm garment, cast
off in America but invaluable in the
Near East, was given out, was pa
thetic."

What's a Doonian?

What's DoOnian?
And what do you do with Doonian?
What do you feed 'em and where do
you get 'em? Are they something
for the rheumatism? Are they-well
what is DoOnian?
A Doonian has two legs and two
arms and it wears old clothes.
Some are fat and some are lean.
The fat ones are those who have been
Doonfans for the longest time and the
lean ones are those who remember
most wildly the Foodless Weeks, be-
fore they turned Doonian. The en-
tire Doonian family belongs to the
Near East Relief, and this is the way
q Near East Relief worker of the Urfa
orphanage explains them:
Gall the little Armenian waits that
came struggling into our Orphanage
for protection without remembering
their own names l called 'Doonian'.
Consequently there are several thou
sand little Doonians over there-all
being fed and clothed by the Ameri-
cans who support the relief organiza-
ton. We fit them out in clothes winch
the people in America cast off and
send over to us-and how the little
Doonians do love those old cast-offs!"
Every year the Near East Relief
Committee makes its appeal for old
clothes to be sent over to clothe all
the little Doonians>and their thousands
of little comrades wandering about in
the Caucasus who haven't the good
fortune to be members of the Doonian
family. At the orphanages the little
girls help to sew garments for them
selves, but as in every big family,
there are a great many of them that
have to wear the hand-me-downs from
America The Doonians really prefer
these that come from America, be-
cause they usually are in gay colors
and the orphanage garments are in the

Editor: 1t does me good to see
how great an improvement has taken
place in the behavior of street car
patrons since the country went dry.
I had occasion to go to north ST.
Paul on a recent holiday. The cars
were crowded with men, women and
children nearly all in holiday attire
and holiday mood, happy and tired,
but all sober. No crowding, pro-
family, odor of gin, or quarreling or
disputes What change. The
same trip five years ago could hard
ly have been endured by woman
unattended.
Returning an hour later the car
was boarded by team of young men
from Minneapolis who played some
game with north st. Paul's team.
They were all sober, too. They
boarded the car in an orderly way,
were all jolly good fellows among
themselves, but did not cause the
conductor any trouble or annoy the
other passengers. Quite contrast
to former times when the advent Of a
team like that all soused with beer
would have made the trip almost I'M
bearable to others on the car. Three
cheers for prohibition! 1t does pro-
hibit. -Vertias.

THE MICHIGAN SENATORSHIP
For more than year Senator
Newberry of Michigan absented him
self from the Senate, and after the
Supreme Court had set aside his
sentence he again appeared in the
Chamber. This ort of absentee
Senatorship service is not peculiar
to Mr.. Newberry as there are plenty
of instances where members of both
Houses do not rate more than $3.50
in their positions as lawmakers. 1t
is announced that the Senate will
thoroughly investigate the New
berry case and determine whether
the purity of that body will be soil
ed by continuing as a member one
in whose interest big campaign bar
rel was tapped and its contents dis
tributed among tae bewildered vo-
tiers. Of course the Senate could
have done this year ago, but at
that time Senator Newberry was be-
ing kept in reserve for emergency
purposes. Since then the Senate
has gone boots and baggage into the
Republican column and Senator
Newberry has ceased to be an emer-
gency and he is now merely an Incl
dent. Therefore his case is likely
to be judged upon its merits. Thus
democracy and republican form of
government finds way to vindicate
themselves and keep their garments
clean when dangers of tie-vote are
past.

RELIEF FROM TAXATION

Inere seems 10 De as many people
looking for relief from taxation as
there are those in search of drinks.
And officially, both of these classes
are out of order. Every time it
comes to paying taxes we seem to
have one of those cases which gave
origin to way remark: LET George
do it." The Secretary Of the Trea-
sury in recent letter to Congress
asked for legislation to forbid the
issuance of any more tax exempt Sc
curities by anybody. Of course, this
is not case of locking the stable
after tsle horse is stolen, but it comes
pretty close to it in view of the fact
that $4,000, 100000 of tax exempt
securities are outstanding. Every
time that gas, electric light or a
street railway company wishes to
float bonds for an extension of their
facilities or lines they are faced with
the law limiting them to a return
on their investments of not over
eight per cent And all their pro-
perities and securities are taxable.
With municipalities and the Govern
ment having outstanding securities
yielding six and seven per cent upon
their purehasable value the public
utilities stand mighty poor chance
to get by and push their develop
ments and keep up with the growth
of the country, in the face of this
kind OF financial competition.
While Congress is figuring out new

DIAMOND STUD VS.
BONE COLLAR BUTTON TAXES

A witness before the Senate Fin
ance Committee declared that "big
business is now attempting to shift
the burden of the war and the cost
of Government from its shoulders
70 the backs of working men and
women" through the creation of
the so-called sales tax. The bur-
den of the opposition 10 this form
of taxation is defined by still an
other witness as Ga attempt Ito
transfer the taxes on the Injuries to
the dinner pail of the poor-a tax off
the diamond shirt stud and onto the
bone collar button" People who
talk about taxes usually generalize
in about this manner, and it is'pretty
hard to ger much in the way Of facts
from which one may form sober
opinions. But as the debate warns
up in Washington it appears that
some of the large property interests
that are obliged to pay excess pro-
fits taxes are attempting to wiggle
out from under this responsibility to
the government. It is claimed that
nearly billion dollars in taxes re-
mains uncollected because of ie-
fects in the existing tax collecting
system. This is one of the reasons
why lawmakers are seeking more
direct method than that Of the excess
profits tax to relieve the financial
problems of the Government. 1t is
apparent, however, that the opposi-
ton to the sales tax in growing every
day, because of the belief that is cx-
pressed above that the bone collar
button is already doing its tax
duties.
