WooIworth suildino.

The Woolworth building was COM
pleted and opened in 1912, being 1872
feet above the street level with SO
stories. It is one of the few buildings
which have found it profitable to
have built towers to surmount the
structure; due to it's being the high
est point in New York city it is con-
stantly used by visitors and the money
paid for sight seeing purposes more
than compensates for the cost of the
tower. The building was conceived
by the late Mr.. Woolworth as a mon
ument to his name and that of the
organization which he founded. Con-
trary to general belief at the time 1t
was completed, Mr.. Woolworth Dor
rowed no money to pay for the con-
struction, having financed it out Of
his own funds.

THE TAX BURDEN AND NATION
Al EXTRAVAGANcE.

In opening his address before the
National Republican club in New
York, Senator Borah pointed out that
in 1913 the per capita tax in the Unit
ed states was S1ZO2 and in 1922 it
had advanced to $64.6S. In some of
the larger cities he said the per capita
tax was as high as sol. In 1918 ap-
proximately Ga per cent of the ma
tons income went for taxes and in
1922 the tax toll was 121 per cent. In
1918 the farmers of the country paid
s624. OOO. 600 and in 1922 it had increas-
ed to Sl4s6.OOO,OOO. Senator Borah
characterized this increase in taxes
during the past eight or ten eyars as
"the most searching tragedy in Amer
lean life" The remedy for this ap-
paning condition must be found in a
radical curtailment of government ex-
penditures that viii permit a sweep
ing reduction in taxes and the senator
unQualihedIy placed himself on record
in favor of that procedure. In the
course of his address Senator Borah
said in part:
you here in the east, in the great
industrial centers. know well your sit
uation. and / also know that it is SER
ious enough. In fact no man, woman
or child. no part of the country and

about what may happen. The mad
saturnalia Of spending is even more
alarming than their present plight.
They are losing faith in their govern
ment and no greater catastrophe could
come to US than that.
What do such tax burdens mean ?
They mean imperiled and forfeited
homes; they mean dissatisfied and
disconnected domestic life; they mean
loss of educational advantages for the
coming citizen; they mean separated
and demoralized families; they mean

people today is whether we can stop

pie to understand it is not alone the

STUDENTS WITH AUTOMOBILES
(CineinnatI mines statl

Cincinnati Times-Star)
In many American colleges a gener-
alton ago it was the tradition among
sons of Weather families not to wear
what are called dress suits, because
so many of the students could not af-
ford them and it was desired that the
! appearance of social sterilization
, should be avoided. There are still
colleges where this practice is follow
ed but in the main it has passed. The
bringing of bullpups to college, a fol-
bic of some of the youthful bloods of
a more recent day, has been Numbered
against by faculty heads. Now it is
the student automobile that is up for
discussion. We like the attitude of
Dr. Stratton d. Brooks, president of
the University of Missouri, who has
made a statement asking parents not
to provide automobiles for their aca-
demic progeny, and ordey,7.e = sNkSs2.s
with cars to take them away.
The fine old American tradition
whereby college lads could NOW the
PROFESSIONAL lawn, clerk in the campus
bookstore and wait on table in the
student dining clubs and not feel I'M
der any social discrimination because
they were paying their way by work,
has been too useful to be undermined
The automobile does not make for ac-
ademic democracy, but the main mis-
chief which it does is to the student
driver rather than to the pride of the /
student walker Experience shows /
that the lads who funk in examina- /
tons and fail to graduate from col |
leges are apt to be those who brought /
their case with them. AS Dr. Brooks |
puts it, there is probably nothing
more detrimental to success in uni
versity work than possession of an

BOX PRIZE FOOLISH.

(Wall Street JournaD
A wise financial man says: 1.-THE
Box peace prize is a folishness from
the beginning Peace does not come
by any plan. National and interna-
tional peace is a matter of the human
heart. I have no doubt Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter would give millions for a practical
or business plan to promote the Chris
tian religion over the whole world.
But no plan for world reformation is
possible by essays. or words, or prizes,
or societies. or combinations of socie-
ties, or propaganda, or popular votes.
wilson's plan for international
peace was a league of nations and it
has bedeviled the whole world. Mr..
BOX should have offered prize to
the man who can tell how to make the
league Of nations function and it
would have cost him nothing.
1.-THE world is covered with peace
plans from Ford's peace ship TO the
league Of nations. But it is not plans

execution. Mr.. Ford had an idea for
peace but could not execute it.
Wilson and Gompers had ideas for
peace and regulation OF labor and tar
ifs through the world by a commits
sion sitting in Switzerland. The whole
world is filled with words for peace.
But neither plans, nor words reform.
The reform must begin in the human
heart. Christ came into the world to
bring peace and people are stin strug-
Cling to promote His plan, and is
there any other plan than His-the
substitution of love for hate? The

BORAH AND THE BARBER.

Idaho Statesman Goes to Shop, But
Never Gets Hair Cut.
According TO an Associated Press
dispatch, Senator Borah of Idaho is
the greatest man of mystery in the
senate
Usually the hiding places of the
senators are discovered by the old at
taches Of the capital. Not so with
BOrah For several hours each day
he does a disappearing stunt and it is
as complete as if the world had open
ed and swallowed him.
Inquiry for him at his office usually
brings word from one of his office
staff the senator has gone to the bar
Der shop" But he can not be found at
the senate barber shop and he always
wears his hair long. For this reason
he has been dubbed "the eighth won
der of the world"-always going to
the barber shop and never having his
hair cut.
With the advent of many new mem
bers of congress it is expected many
more senatorial foibles will come to
light.

LOWER TAXES WILL BRING
HIGHER REVENUE.

It is said that Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon was asked why he
recommended a reduction in the sur
tax rate to maximum of % per cent.
He is understood to have replied that
lower rate would bring a higher rev.
enue return to the treasury, and that
the % per cent maximum was reason
able. Everybody familiar with treas
ury experience knows that a lowering
OF the surtax rates means an increase
in revenue. The fact that dictates of
reason" fixed the maximum at % per
cent is significant of every meve of
the present administration. Those
who are demanding a rewriting of the
Mellon tax plan are influenced by
other considerations than those of
reason and logic They conceive their
political future to depend on a policy
of resistance, and are opposing the
republican program of tax relief mere
ly because 1t is Of republican author
ship.

The democrats opposed it, fearing it

senators who were connected with the

ugly rumors. seemingly we'll founded,
that contestants were given the tip
that the successful plan would be the
one that gave the widest recognition
to the league Of nations. In fact,
there is unmistakable evidence that
the Box peace award was conceived
and carried out as a gigantic scheme
Of propaganda in favor Of the league
OF nations. Mr.. Box himself, in spite
Of his much advertised "Americaniza-
ton" has always favored joining the
league, and singularly enough all the
members Of the award commission are
favorable to the league in one form
or another. The dissatisfaction of the
contestants for the big prize has
brought out other significant facts in
connection with the award. 1t is found
that the League OF Nations Non-P
tisan association, with headquarters in
New York, had access to the names Of
the contestants, and sent letters to
them listing league of nations litera-
ture and suggesting that they make
use Of it in preparing their competi-
tive plans for maintaining the peace
of the world. All of which have COM
bined to bring discredit upon the Box
peace project
After all, it will be very dnhcult to
improve upon the peace plan embod-
led in the creed of Theodore Roose-
Welt which provides a rule Of conduct
for nations as we'll as individuals. OF

Whatever may be the thing VS. do,
or the end for which we strive,
If worthy the aim which we pursue,
AS onward and on we drive,
We may be sure as the days go by,
Ii truly and earnestly we try,
That ever closer the goal draws nigh
Where some day we shall arrive.
For the thing worth while is to keep
right on.
With a purpose fixed and true,
Resolved with the coming of each new
dawn,
To do what we have to do;
Unmindful of sleeps we are forced to
climb.
As we plod each weary mile,
Sustained by a magical faith sublime
In doing the thing worth while.
Whatever the scheme we have in mind
Whatever the dreams we dream,
1t is in the worth while tasks we find
'Our hopes of the future gleam-
Hopes of the future that glow as
bright
AS stars that blaze on a cold, clear
night,
Or flowery fields of pure delight,
Where garlands of promise TEEN.
For the thing worth while is the COM

That points the way to the goal,
AS the magnet points unerringly to
The Far North's desolate pole;
And ever secure is the course we wend
In spite of the bitter trial,
And a joy we find in the days we
spend
Achieving the thing worth while.
