COULD NOT DO ALL.

Hon. David Lloyd George has at
tended all the conferences in which
his country was engaged in the stir
ring times following the war, and
acquitted himself with credit, and
leaves record more glorious than
any man who has ever held a place
in the state craft of Europe, and yet
because the Irish question kept him
busy at home, leading politicians and
newspapers of England are saying
that Balfour has demonstrated q
preeminent ability as the result of
his work at the arms conference, and
that Lloyd George should resign and
Balfour is the man to take his place.
David Lloyd George wanted to re-
present his country at Washington
in the arms conference. He recogniz-
ed the potentialities Of the situation
and that it would be the elimination
of an illustrious career, through
which he had safely seen his coun-
try In war, and now in peace with
q reduction In armament as its pro-
per solution. But the ideas of fate

Cuba purchased from us $282,00O,-
600 worth of goods. or more than
a million dollars over what she re-
ceived from us. It is quite easy to
understand the very severe industrial
depression obtaining in that country
in face of above figures, and no
wonder Cuba is greatly stirred over
the effort to place a sixty per cent

Quite naturally Cuba has a claim on
us since the island was wrested from
Spain, and is one of our insular pos
sessions. American capital has de-
veloped the island since the Span

cans are deeply interested. Raw su-

York are now quoted at and six

PAY Ir WITH BONDS.

If it is determined to pay the SOL
diers bonus, then this bonus should
be provided with borrowed money, or
the issuance of government bonds,
since it is not fair to place additional
burdens on the people of America at
this time by direct tax in order to
raise the huge sum required.
With all the talk about letting the
European powers of, either without
paying their obligations to this coun-
try, or giving them all the time they
desire, it would seem that the over
burdened tax. payers deserve some
for undoubtedly taxes
are sufficiently high and they should
not be increased to the extent that
a direct tax would impose to pro-
vide sufficient funds for the soldier
bonus.
If bonds are floated for this pur-
pose, the principal and interest can
be paid as the money is collected
from the sums due US from foreign
governments, and the bonus in this
way will not prove a burden on this
country. At the same time the neces-
sity for compelling the payment Of
the foreign loans at. an early date
will not be so immediate and the,
repayment of the foreign loans can
be SO timed to take care of the bonus
bonds as they fall due.
Our solons at Washington should
think of the American tax payer
when their hearts go out to the for
eigner in his distress.
Liberty bonds have now reached
par and above and money is decid-
edly easier in the large centers, SO If
it is decided to pay the soldiers a.
bonus, let the money be provided
with bonds that the tax payers Of
America shall not be loaded down
whit additional tax burdens.

SHOULD NOT BE TAXED.

Judge Devin has decided that mem
bers of the judiciary should not be
taxed, and the decision in our opin-
ion is quite right. Our judges are very
poorly paid There is hardly lawyer
in the state with an established prac-
tice who is not making more than
our judges, and II they are compelled
to pay an income tax on the small
stipend they receive it will greatly
cut into their income. On the other
hand the very best talent both as to
integrity, experience and knowledge
is required to properly fit a lawyer
for the bench It is a place of grave
responsibility both as to its relation
to society and the cause, or the GRIM
inal who appear for trial. Instead Of
cutting their salaries in one way. or
another they should be increased, Tor
the remuneration of our judges is not
commensurate with the service per-
formed or the ability required.

CUBA'S PLIGHT

The condition of the island OF
Cuba following the decline in the
price of her principal commodity
sugar, is a great deal worse than
that of other agricultural sections of
America. The following informa-
ton has been brought cut in the eff
forts of the American sugar growers
to secure a tariff on imported sugar
in order to prevent foreign sugar
from coming to America and thus
enabling them to pocket considerable
sums of money by putting up the
price to the consumer under the
protection of the tariff.
It is found that Cuba sells to the
United States one half of the COM
modify used over here. and that the
proposed tax of 60 per cent will
mean that a tax of 100000, 600
per year will be paid by to consum-
,ers of this country and that only
$Se,008,00o of this win go into the
treasury and the balance into the

LLNCOLN's BACKGROUND

It is to England that we trace
backward from the cabin the aie-
ments that entered into the making
of the American whom Whitman
called ''the sweetest, wisest soul Of
all my days and lands" The graft
tude and love of multitude have
made his course a well=krown patti
back through the clearings of South-
ern Indiana and into the one-time
wilderness Of Kentucky as far as his
rude birthplace. Some have fol-
lowed the ancestral. trail over the
mountains into Revolutionary Vir-
ginia and across Pennsylvania and
New Jersey into pre-Revolutionary
and Puritan New England. Few,
however, have reached in their in
terest the sources OF this life. in the
island which bred in his forebears
sturdy and transmitted qualities.
In our "I0e per cent Americanism.' >
we should not forget our debt to
that land which gave longest back
ground to such peculiar and pure
excellence.
It may seem far-fetched to bring
in France also. Lincoln had moth
ing Gallo in his ways; but it was
France who, through her explorers,
evoked from the unknown the great
valley that nourished his young
manhood. The very river down
which the gaunt youth guided his
ffatboat toward the Mississippi was
that on whose banks La Sale had
built his Fort Crevecoeur in the heart
of this savage realm which was later
surrendered to Frances riva1s-in
effect to the first settlers of new
nation. And this young giant was
destined to hold together what
England and France had given.
If there is one international hope
to be put above others on this par
ticular anniversary of Lincoln's
birth, it is that England and France
may be kept united by such a pur
pose as possessed his soul.-New

DYNAMITE MOUNTAIN

TO SAVE TOWN.
Paris, Feb. 13.-Engineers have

sacred statue of st. Caprais, the
patron saint, who since time immem-

were made annually, while the pious
villagers never passed without say

The inevitable destruction of the
cherished statue bore SO heavily on
Able Rebord's mind that he decided
to brave the danger and scale the
rocks in order to save it. The vii
layers, fearing for the priests life,
did all in their power to dissuade
him, but no avail. They then decided
not to let him go alone, and it was
