since. II this truth is now beginning
to percolate the German official mind
there is hope for Germany. For Ger
many's rehabilitation must come from
within, through a spirit Of contrition.
There is no hope for Germany in the
self-assumed attitude of an injured,
oppressed country.
If DR.. Simcns' experience in Lon.
don caused him to acquire broader
point of view and to see Germany as
the rest of the world sees her, it
might be well to encourage further
travel by representative Prussians'
Maybe they could get hold of the same
truth. and returning home do some
thing to persuade their people that
Germany is the victim of her own evil
purposes and conduct. And in this
connection it may be suggested that
those friends of Germany who are in
this country and who are now seeking
to propagate a spirit of sympathy
for the oppressed" land would do a
far better service to their former coun.
try if they We're to engage in another
sort of propa ganda, aiming to make
the Germans themselves realize their
obligation just as Simons is appar-
emily beginning to try to get the Ger.

A March Sunday.

March showed it's versatility yes.
terday by turning out a Sunday of
greatest brilliancy and beauty May
could do no better. Even June, per.
haps, could not paint a day of more
golden sunshine or fill it with softer
airs. One effect was to turn all men s
thoughts to spring. and to lead them
forth from their homes, their rented
houses and their flats into the streets,
roads and by-ways, while many of
them strayed where there are not
even byways.
The day emphasized the talent and
genius Of March. When in a friendly
humor. he-or is he ''she"?-can create
a perfect day Of spring and when con
trary minded can produce a day that
for wickedness outdoes January's
worst.
When March behaves agreeably she
should be praised. Let her be encour.
aged to make more days like yester.
day.

MARYLAND and Virginia.
Improved Business.

Speakirg z of the importance of tarlt1
and tax revision. and promising aC-
tion by Congress. Senator fenrose
says:
I'VE cannot look for improved busI-
ness until the tariff and internal
revenue legislation are outlined ana
government extravaganza stopped
Even tn" promise of the Dingley tariff
law INN ediately produced better con-
ditions in business"
This undoubtedly is true. Business
must be assured before it can be eX-
pected to function with ease and sue
cess. 1t is in d very nervous and halt
ing state at present. It's most emil
nent anG capable captains are irreso-
lutte in ',he face of situation bearing
no likel ess to anything they have ever
known before. AS the Pennsylvania
senator suggests. even the definite
promise of revision on lines associa-
BILE with the republican party's rec
ord should have heartening effect.
Both tn: promise of the Dingley
tariff revisit"l and the revision itself
had a good rffect. Business at once
began ta revh-e from a condition of
extreme deprt ssion. An unwise re-
vision-the man-W-ilson law-and
the general future of the second
Cleveland admit :stration, had all but
paralyzed the cduntry. Both capital
and labor-in IL. same boat then as
now-stood helI Tess in the presence
Of unprecedented encouragement.
The present situation is graver than
that. That haG grown out Of local
causes-causes purely American. This
is the result CT world causes acting
on local causer and making the lat
ter the more complex and difficult.

Income Taxes.

This is the last day, in effect. for
filing the income tax returns. Wash
ingtonians really lose day on the
reckoning, inasmuch as they must get
their returns and at least their first
quarterly payments into the hands OF
the internal revenue collector at Bal
timore by tomorrow. Most of the local
taxpayers have already sent their re-
ports and remittances, but still there
is a heavy eleventh hour rush.
Making out an income tax return
is such a puzzle to the average per-
son that help must be obtained. AL
though the process has been some
what simplified and the blank is modi-
fled it is still an appalling proposition
to put before anybody but an actuary.
As the case stands the taxpayer makes
cut his own bill. Normally hs u served
with a bill by the taxing roGer. In
sessment is made and he is notified Of
the amount that is charged against
his property. The income taxpayer,
however. must not only assess him
self, but make out his ow7 computa-
ton according to an intricate for
mula unless he seeks official aid in a
great crowd Of others, Il process in
volving heavy loss of time.
Probably the income tax will remain
a feature Of federal finance for some
time to come, and it shor;ld be the
object of those who frar.c The laws
and regulations to make +. as little
troublesome and burdenseme as pos
sible. A simpler method nf computa-
ton would assuredly make income
taxpaying less of a bugaboo to the
average citizen.

An Interesting Investigation.

Representative Slemp of Virginia
chairman Of the subcommittee of the
republican national committee ap.
pointed to investigate republican con,
ditions in the south with reference 10
representation from that section in
republican national conventions. an
nounceS that the investigation will
begin AI San Antonio, Tex, the lat.
ter part Of April.
Mf. siemp is exceptionally we'll
cuaiffled to direct this work. He is
one Of the few southern republicans
who have made themselves felt in
southern politics. He has represented
the ninth Virginia district in the
House for many years, and is an in.
fiuence in that body. He knows poll
tics and knows the south, and, there.
fore. will know how to proceed in
this business.
The question is not solely the
powerlessness of the republican party
In the lower southern states. No in
vestigation is necessary to establish
that fact. 1t is known of all. Not a
single electoral vote from that quar-
ter is possible to any republican ma.
tional ticket on any sort Of platform.
But why is this true? What ex-
plains the fact that presidential re-
turns from those states can always
be, and always are, calculated in ad.
vance Of the election? And, IL any
remedy, what remedy should be ap.
piled to correct this?
The report Of this investigation will
probably cover ground beyond the
terms Of the order empowering it and
give the republican organization, and
for that matter the country, some
thing Of serious nature to think
about.

Party Management.

This is from Baltimore special to
yesterdays Star:
1T is proposed to make the chair
man of the state democratic central
committee regular salaried official
of the party. which will allow him
to devote his entire time to state or
ganization. Il think well of the sug-
eestion; said Gov. Ritchie. when ask
ed for his opinion. i heard the sub
ject discussed some little time ago
he continued. and the idea impressed
me favorably. The chairman of the
state committee has a lot of work to
do and il is not easy TO get some one
who is willing to do it for the love
of it"
More and more of late years. poll

Men who play the game, and particu-
larly men who direct the game, must
understand the game. and be diligent
in their work. Professional players
are in request. Amateurs are not in

He was tagged as d fellow "out for

matter having to do with the public
welfare: who was to be employed and
endured only in a pinch, and even
then with side apologies to conscience.
There were such men, and some
We're well known. But they were
never numerous. What success they
achieved was due somewhat to the
times. and somewhat to the neglect
of political duty by great numbers of
voters.
Times have changed. and men and
politics with them. A much larger
number Of voters are giving attention
TO politics these days. with the result
that organization work has greatly
increased. and expert capacity is re.
quired in party management. Is not

Coming to Judgment.

DR.. Simons. the German foreign
minister, talks differently in Berlin
and in London. In the course of
a speech in the reichstag. just re.
ported, he endeavored to make his
German hearers realize that the al
lied purpose in exacting reparations
Is perhaps. after all, not fully under
stood east Of the Rhine. His words
are worth quoting:
II must say that when one comes
face to face with our opponents in
London, when one hears what the
situation is in their countries and un-
themselves are laboring. il becomes
clear that their demands are not in
eptred merely by the tntoxication OF
victory or lust for power, but that
on the contrary they are the result
Of extraordinarily heavy troubles and
distress in their own countries"
DR.. Simons went on to say that I,
was possible to get q better world
perspective from London than from
Rs.'sn. and thereby realize how gen,
efal the opinion is that Germany is
In the wrong and has not done enough
to reQuite that wrong.

Non-Partisan Brer Rabbits.

Kansas is evidently dead set against
the Non-Partisan League. With the
unhappy experience of North Dakota

discourage the promoters of this Pc
culiar school of politics who seek to
implant it in the Kansas soil which
has heretofore been so fertile in the

conservative.
The latest manifestation Of hostil.
ity to the Non-Partisan League cult
is reported from Great Bend, where a
crowd Of several hundred, comprising
many former service men, escorted
, out OF town two officers Of the Non
Partisan League, including a former
United States senator. and took two
others into the woods, and made them
