MRS. WILSON
AND THE GERMAN CHILDREN
(Exchange)

While the German government is meditating
the sacrifice of DR.. Wiedfeldt as scapegoat for
its own folly in instructing him to ignore the
death and funeral of Woodrow Wilson, and while
the dazed ambassador is preparing his defense
Mrs Wilson is solicitous lest harm may come of
the incident to innocent German children
In letter to General Allen she ventures as
private citizen no comment on the official asp
ect of the flag episode, but replies to the point
and to the purpose of his appeal:
81 am so convinced the feeling of my husband
on the phase of the matter presented by you
would so entirely accord with my own that do
not hesitate to express the hope that your fund
in aid of helpless German children may continue
to find generous support | am sure Mr. Wilson
would not have the devotion and loyalty of the
American people, whom he so loved take on the
guise of a resentment which might cause suffer
ing it not death among innocent children
The letter of General Allen which called forth
this appeal is very frank He says the flag incid-
ent has "alienated numbers of workers and do
nors' some have ceased operations; others
have cancelled their gifts, thus threatening the
success OF the campaign" to relieve need in most
appealing form. That reaction to German
official boorishness should be but temporary. It
is not the children's fault that Dr. Wiedfeldt was
instructed to commit bunder.

WHY CONTINUE DELAY

Everybody seems to agree that taxexempt Sc
anything about it. Congress has assumed that
a constitutional amendment is needed for that
purpose, and that road is long one.
Many high authorities, however, have main
tanned all along that Congress has power to act
now to enact desired legislation, under authority
of existing income tax amendment. The latest
advocate of such action is Edward S. Corwin, pro
fessor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University.
In an article in National Municipal Review he
asks Congress to cease hiding behind mistaken
opinion of constitution law and boldly use its
present power under Sixteenth Amendment.
This would be but short step to take, in con-
nection with tax reduction measure, to put whole
federal taxation business on a sounder basis.
Why not try it?

KNOW YOUR TOWN

Many citizen Of Winslow who brags about
his own community speaks from faith rather
than knowledge. A local man suggests it would
be a great idea to "know Winslow' and he has
asked us to print few questions. Here they
are: Study them, post yourself on them, and
the next time you go to boast the town you're
proud of, you'll be in position to back up the ar
gument. Here are the questions: What is the
population? How did the site of the town happen
to be selected? How did it get it's name? What
is the birth rate? What is the death rate? What
are our chief natural resources? Do most of the
citizens own their own homes? What per cent
are renters? What about our water? Is the
supply adequate to meet all emergencies, and is
the water pure? Is there proper ventilation and
light in our school houses in this community?
What kind of schools have we? Are they receiv-
ing the cooperation of our citizens that they
deserve? What have we here to offer the man
with family who is seeking permanent home?
