The Senate and the War Tax. \
The differences over the war tax
measure are to be fouffht out in the ]
open Senate. That is proper proce- i
dure, and a welcome announcement. \
Again the Senate becomes "the refuge 1
of the minority." Amendments to the 3
measure Will be In nnlar and rtfftniB- #
si on of the whole subject permissible.
But can the matter be satisfactorily
disposed of in a week? Mr. Simmons,
who will have charge, thinks so. At
any rate, his plans are on that basis,
and it Is stated that, if necessary to
carry them out, night sessions will be
held.
The House practically gave no consideration
to the measure. It was
framed in secret, and passed under
gag rule. A few hours were allowed
the republicans for protest, but not a
minute for debate. In that manner
the business was passed up to the
Senate: and now that the Senate has
taken it in hand, haste should not be
the policy. Night sessions will decide
nothing but the physical strength of
members.
A great deal of interest has been
aroused throughout the country. Everybody
understands that the Treasury
reeds money. That is to say, the revenues
are running behind, and must
continue to do so at least while the
war lasts.
What the conditions will be at the
close of the war who may say? If
the struggle is prolonged, Europe may
be exhausted and her recovery be u
slow. And we shall not reach normal 1
again until she in some measure does c
recover. In many business lines we 0
connect with her. She takes many of f
our products and we many of hers.
I'ntil she is in shape again to buy of 1
us and sell to us in large .measure we ^
shall freed revenue from new sources,
and, as Mr. L#ewis of Illinois has suggested,
maybe in a larger amount
than we are now providing for.
Taxes are never pleasant, but are p
particularly unpleasant when levied
in times of business depression and
suspension. Through no fault of our a
own, we are caught in a trap. We ^
have a bountiful 'yield from the earth, t
but no markets for our surplus. If ^
foreign markets were encouraging, d
those of our manufacturing plants a
which have been idle awaiting the g
development of our new domestic ^
policies might start up again. But the r
war hangs like a pall over all, and it g
is not in our power to lift the pall. f
Let us have the additional revenue
since it is necessary, but let the things
put under tribute be carefully selected. n
And senators are aware irom me wu- ^
tents of their mails that much remains tJ
to be done to make the war measure a
as it now stands safe and acceptable r(
to the country.
The French and Belgian Fighting. ?
Today's news indicates that the Ger- *
man counter-attack against the allied
left in France, which has been charac- r'
ter-zed by terrific fighting for the last
two or three days with results encouraging
to the Germans, has been check- 8
ed. Later dispatches must disclose *
whether this check is merely tempo- ?
rary, or the German offensive movement
in this section has spent itself.
Success or failure depends upon the 8
comparative rapidity and strength with 8
w hich the combatants are reinforced. c
It is reported from London this morning
that the first Canadian contingent of
33.000 men has arrived in British waters, '
nd probably these forces will be im- c
med'&tely dispatched to the fighting *
zone in France. They constitute a corps
the addition of which cannot fail to be
of value on the battle front. v
t
Monticello as a presidential residence
might constitute an agreeable reminder
that "Jeffersonian simplicity" did
not by any means confine itself to the
hare necessities of existence.
Less conscientious countries would
not hesitate to make a determined interest
in horse-racing such as is manifest
in America a means of providing
liberal revenue.
Times have changed for both Belgium
and France since the late King Leopold
found nothing much to do with his
tim?- except to amuse himself in Paris.
Col. Harvey and Germany.
T>o we see in Col. George Harvey the
next ambassador to Germany? Note
the persuasiveness of the suggestion.
Mr. Gerard is the President's
choice for senator in the New York
contest. He intends to put the full
power of his administration behind
him. Some of the President's friends
think that Mr. Gerard's chances of sue
? ess are better than Gov. Glynn's. He (
is not under fire, but under the highest '
praise, in connection with the dis- 1
chirge of his official duties. He is 1
meeting an exacting emergency in the '
most satisfactory manner.
If successful at the polls. Mr. !
Gerard may wish to return home at 1
an early day. Mr. Root will serve 1
until March, but Mr. Gerard may want 1
a few months for personal affairs and ,
to familiarize himself with the political 1
situation before taking up his new 1
work. A good deal of water has gone :
under the bridge since he left the '
country for Germany. <
< -t? New York will claim the anibas- 1
xadorship. Col. Harvey, it is true, resides
in New Jersey, but. as in so many
other cases, that does not make him a
Jersevman. His heart, his real citimensiiip.
is where his office Is, and that is 1
|n New York. For all practical and
Political purposes he is a New Yorker
?11 right.
(4) The'post at Berlin will call for a
man of address and social qualities,
and Col. Harvey fills that bill. If the
war is still on. he will know how to
con tingle work so well begun by Mr.
Gerard. If the war is over, he will be
iWi as an experienced man of general
affairs to digest the new situation, and
put his government "next" to it.
(5) He is a colonel, has the right to
wear the uniform of the New Jersey
militia, and looks well in it. He knows
something* about military matters, and
can converse entertainingly on the subject
With military men. We have been
sending to Berlin jurists, scholars, men
of business, and occasionally a trained
diplomat. "Why not a man who, in addition
to other knowledge, possesses
some knowledge of army equipment?
that is something in which Germany is
very much Interested: and it might add
to the popularity of the American ambassador
to be able to converse In those
terms.
It Is not necessary to assume that
Col. Harvey has renewed his cordial
relations with Mr. Wilson in the hope
Df reward. But now that they are renewed,
they put at Mr. Wilson's service
a very competent man, and one
fttted for difficult duties.
But, of course Mr. Gerard has not yet
t>een elected senator from New York.
First catch your senatorship.
The Cabinet and the Stamp.
The members of the cabinet who
speak well are preparing to take the
stump. It is proper employment for
them, and the democracy should beneIt
from their appeals. They know the
record from having helped to make it,
ind they are thoroughly qualified to
explain it.
It is unnecessary to say that Mr.
Bryan is the chief of these. Indeed, he
s the chief of stumpers taking the
*hole party together. As Mr. Wilson
s the democracy's best writer in office,
dr. Bryan is easily Its best speaker in
>r out of office. He draws the largest
rrowds, and entertains them the most
satisfactorily.
And here again is illustrated the
visdom exhibited by Mr. Wilson in
calling Mr. Bryan to the cabinet table.
3e not only by the act gave an ex>resslon
of gratitude to a man who
lad rendered him a supreme service,
>ut he insured for himself and his
party the active interest of one with
special and very high gifts for campaign
work. Mr. Bryan is a past maser
of the art of keeping the pool
stirred.
He will drop now into his natural
rait and get into his longest stride,
ie will be at his best. Diplomacy is
somewhat out of his line, and routine
sfflce duties must Irk him. His trainng
has been of a very different kind,
Lnd of such a kind as to mold him.
But in Secretary Daniels and Secreary
Dane Mr. Bryan has two assoiates
who will do their part on the
tump. Mr. Daniels, it is true, is a reent
recruit to the ranks of the spellbinders.
He has been helping his party
or years with his pen through the
nedium of a newspaper, and in that
ray he developed into a national flgire.
But his change from the pen to
he tongue, though sudden, was sucessfully
made, and he now is reckned
among his party's effective speakts.
His assignments will take him
nto territory considered doubtful, and
hus he is complimented.
Secretary Lane is an old hand at the
ellows?not so well known in the east
s in the west, but rated in the west
s a strong man before an audience
ssembled to hear a discourse about
olitics.
Mr. Wilson himself will not appear,
xcept in this way by proxy, and by
stter. He has already written a few,
nd has others in mind. Practically,
ie is the issue. He is fully entitled
o say, though it would not be good
lolitlcs. "The party? It is I.M . He
lomtnates the democracy with its conent.
and really at its solicitation. Not
ihce Jackson has any democratic naional
leader been so completely the
aaster of the situation. By comparion,
Mr. Cleveland looks like a be
oggea ana neipi??? aiuaicur.
It is indisputable that the commandtent
"Thou shalt not kill" is as bindlg
on nations as on individuals. But
iiere is no nation at present quite big
nd powerful enough to undertake the
esponsibility of policing the earth.
Since his call at the White House
Iditor Harvey may again feel a certain
atisfaction in the recognition that has
een accorded him as the original Wooddw
"Wilson man.
Col. Roosevelt keeps scattering hintelf
over so much territory as to make
he problem of reorganizing the progressive
party rather difficult.
Announcements by both Mr. Glynn
ind Mr. Whitman show that stalwart
?lf-esteem which is essential to sueess
in public life.
The prohibition party would be a
ormidable political organization if it
ould claim credit for all the prohlbiion
victories.
Sometimes it is not so much what
ras said as who said it that provokes
he libel suit.
The Ball Flayers.
This is the day between* the base ball
leasons, with the regular American
-eague playing finished yesterday, and
he world's championship games to
itart tomorrow. Local interest waned
tomewhat toward the end of the sealon,
because of the disappointment of
ATashington's hopes for a chance at
he pennant. As it is, the capital's
'epresentative team finished in third
dace by the narrowest possible margin,
as against second place a year
igo. The followers of the game have
ost their former sense of gratitude
or any accomplishment above the bot;om
of the list, and, having come for
wo seasons in succession to within
>ne position of the top, will not be
satisfied now with relative honors.
Various causes have been suggested for
he failure of the team to maintain the
>ace set in May, when it left town in
the lead with every prospect of continuous
victory. The pitchers did not
>itch quite as well as usual, the hitters
lid not hit up to expectations, and in
some cases the fielders fell down in
their work. The combination was too
much for the team, and defeats came
in disproportion to the victories.
Will "next year" bring better results?
If it were not for the hope that
fortune may favor the pennant aspirant
in the seaso* to come, base ball
would languish. There are reasons
why Washingtonians should continue j
to aspire to the highest honors in the |
sport. It is agreed that there is material
here for a continuoihdy winning
combination, and given a fair showing
of victories with such an end in sight,
the patronage will be heavy.
Tomorrow begins the supreme test of
the sport, with two teams starting a
fight for the so-called world championship
that have never met before.
The American League representative
is a veteran with a remarkable record
of achievement*, already the world
champ! >n, and apparently the atronger
combination, rated by baee ball Judarea
as on* of the moat perfect playing
machine* ever put together, with remarkable
offenalv* etrength and almoat
aa greftt ? defenalv* atrength. Oppoaed
to It ?;ll be a team that baa aatounded
the base ball world this season by its
phenomenal rise since the first of July
from last place in the National League
to first. It is ddubtless the sentimental
favorite of the country, lifiwever the
betting may favor the Athletics. Its
chances are somewhat weakened by the
loss of a valuable player just on the
eve of the games through an accident.
Yet there is by no means a certainty
that the Athletics, so experienced in
these nerve-trying encounters, will
win. Public interest has apparently
waned in no degree in these annual
struggles for American base ball supremacy,
and with fair weather in the
two cities the games will probably be
witnessed by enormous multitudes.
Berlin warns Americans not to talk
English, as the sound of it infuriates
the populace. Evidently this American
arrant nf nurx Is not SO distinctive as
British philologists have intimated.
Reference to a President as a "schoolmaster
in politics" does not necessarily
imply that Congress will be expected to
exercise the supervisory functions of a
[board of education.
After Mr. Rockefeller's donation of a
large sum to investigate the causes of
poverty no one will be so Inconsiderate
as to suggest the cost of gasoline as
one of them.
Discreet Mexican strategists will endeavor
to conductv any engagements so
as to keep the fighting as far as possible
from the Texas border.
Rustem Bey's departure was for the
best. An atmosphere of complete neutrality
could never be congenial to a
man of his temperament.
The Hague will postpone its peace discussions
during the accumulation of a
large amount of brand-new subject matter.
SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Ptychological Moment.
"How did you come to vote the prohibition
ticket?"
"They' appealed to me at the psycho
logical moment, replied Col. Stillwell.
"They made up a convivial party the
night before election and the next morn*
ing's headache was such that I was
willing to do anything in my power to
show my hatred for the demon rum."
Does She?
The woman of the present day
Whose mind with suffrage cares is
fraught .
Throws her old jewelry away
And decks herself with gems of
thought.
"Suflferin* In silence is admirable." said
Uncle Eben. "But de chicken dat won't
squawk when he*e bein' lifted offn de
roost carries it to an extreme."
All Earthly Wishes PnUfilled.
"Philadelphia is a very quiet town,
isn't it?" said the young woman from
the west. ;
"I suppose it is rather quiet," replied j
Miss Cayenne. "It ought to be. With the
Liberty Bell and the base ball pennant
in Its possession what reason has the
town for making a fuss?"
The Annmisinsr Instinct.
"What a lovely sunset!" exclaimed the
young woman.
"Yes." replied the business young man.
"It's a first-rate sunset. I'll bet if you
went to a store and tried to buy a good
painting of a sunset like that you
couldn't get it for less than $7.50."
When the Wrath Fell.
Nobody paid attention
To the man who gathered wealth.
Nobody paused to mention j
That his course was that of stealth. j
Till he offered some donations
For the help of human kind.
Then the fierce denunciations
Sadly shook his peace of mind.
They said his coin was tainted
And his motives dark and deep.
Till the picture that they painted
Caused him tears and loss of sleep.
Nobody ever rapped him
While he hoarded day by day.
But, good gracious! How they slapped
him
When he gave the stuff away!
Interest in the War.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star. j
At present the Apierican people evidently
have passed beyond the stage in
which they are chiefly concerned with
the shifting of the onus for bringing
about the catastrophe that racks Europe.
They ajfl>arently have accepted
the war as a fact and inherently of
more interest than its causes. Its horror
and its devastation, human and
material, are accepted as the natural
concomitants of warfare. What
the ordinary American citizen wants
to know now is?who is going to
win? He discusses possible reinforcements,
the comparative effectiveness of
French and German artillery or the
Russian advance with the sang froid
with which he would dilate upon the
efficacy of the squeeze play, Ty Cobb's
batting average or the prowess of Matty's
"right wing." The average American
is not thus revealing hard-heartedness.
But he appreciates that the
biggest league that ever was organized
is playing the ultimate game of all
humanity, and he is interested.
The Defeat of Statecraft.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
That European diplomacy has always
been free from any control of justice or
Christianity is beyond serious dispute.
Frederick the Great is reported to have
declared "When he Is about to conclude
a treaty with some foreign power, if a
sovereign remembers that he Is a Christian
he is lost." The record* of diplomacy
from before his time up to the
most recent da ten attest the truth of
the assertion, whether Frederick said it
or not. But it does seem as if in the
twentieth century the great diplomatists
of Europe might beware of stupidity
| and actual illogicality. Yet was there
ever anything more completely governed
I by the lack of reason and intelligence
I than the present rontent?
Breach Oloied! I
I From the New York K.vonlmr I
Now that President Wilson has made
peace with Col. Harvey, and there
seems a prospect that arbitration will
yet reconcile the White House and
Henry Watterson. no one need despair
of the early conclusion of hostilities in
Europe. No feud was apparently more
destined to be lasting than this one between
Col. Harvey and the President.
That it has ended is another striking
sign of the steadily growing harmony
of the democratic party under the
schoolmaster's leadership.
Break Bp the Loaferi.
from the Raleijrb News and Observer.
The loafer and the Idler is a source
of danger to any community. Where
these are found in numbers there may
we look for an increase of crime and
disorder. They form an undesirable
class of citizens of whom any place
would be glad to be rid.
Doing Without Keceuitiei.
From the Providence Bulletin.
Perhaps we can do without Paris
modes as well as we can dispense with
Wall street quotations. .
