By E. F. CLIPBON. America, ever resourceful nnd willing (o try anything once, has shown the aplrlt of true democracy by going to various professions for its presidents. The first one was a civil engineer, and alnce his time the White House has been occupied by lawyers, diplomats, professional politicians, a planter, aol dlers, a tailor, two college presidents, one of whom alao preached a little, and tbe other of whom practiced law a lit tle, and several others"'ho at various times In their careers were Identified with trail biasing, farming, legislating and the law. Now the supreme experi ment Is to be tried, for Ohio, mother of president, has produced twins, and, alngularly enough, both are newspaper men. The claim has long come from various sources that the newspapers ran the country, so nothing la more logical than an editor as chief execu tive. Barring accidents or the totally un expected, either Editor Harding or Ed itor Cox will sit In the presidential chair March The consensus df opinion gathered from public expres sions and the news of tbe day. Is that It IS an experiment worth trying. No very pronounced evidences of worship for either candidate seem manifest as yet In the great body of the electorate, but that Is a condition In keeping with the editorial personality and may eas ily change as the campaign warms up. Until the day of signed news articles and editorials chsnged the condition slightly, the newspaper man has al ways been a somewhat submerged— voluntarily submerged— personality, ne baa been a most patent leader and director In hla quiet way, but seldom for him the heroic role. He has created many heroes, but little hero worship has come to him. Ills Ideals would not admit of It. Clncinnatua patiently plowing Is more Ideal In the general newspaper creed than Clnclnnatus leading armies. Now the editor gets In front of In stead of behind the calcium's bright glare. Tbe public will, metaphorically, see two editors at least, stripped to their very souls; but ss each has had some stripping In state politics the or desl will he lees severe. Also, the pro fessions! hslo makers. In this case the political managers of the two candi dates, will soon be enlsrglng upon tbe nobility of the edltorisl calling and the self-sacrificing qualities which It en tails. Already the halos are In tbe molds and before November It ts safe to assert, both candidates will be heroes to their respective followers, slthough at present they are Just level-headed representative cltlsens, with consider able edge In ability over the average. The exaltation will extend. In some degree, to tbe whole newspaper profes sion. snd some there are who think this will not be s good thing. Any wsy. sfter next March tbe people will have an opportunity to aee how an edi tor, who never falls to tell how tbe country should be run, will ran It him self. ' £ * The aftermath of the Democratic convention has not been greatly dis similar to tbst of the Republican con clave. The bulk of party aentlment. with tbe exception of the naturally disgruntled, seems Inclined to abide by, governor Cox. just as the' bulk of Re publican sentiment abides by Senator Hsrdlng. Bean aplllers have been ac tive In both parties and Nicholas Mur ray Butler, In his attacks en the forces of corruption, did not say any more, indeed not as much, as William Jen nings Bryan, in poet-convention utter sweet, has said along the same strain. . . ' .... .. ,I'n i t.,i 'i If. with these two notable exceptions, the start of the campaign seems apa thetic. there Is plenty of time for it to warm up. Republican leaders meeting In Chi cago the day after the Democratic na tional convention, decided to make tbe Ullnols city the principal headquarters of the party and to wage the campaign largely west of the Alleghenles. The nomination of Cox came as a surprise to the leaders as they had planned a campaign against McAdoo. They an nounced,' however, tbat the Issues would not be materially affected, the chief fight being centered on the league of Nations, with Democratic conduct of the war and reconstruction a secondary Issue. It was also decided t'o frown iipon any attempt to Intro duce the wet and dry question Into the national campaign or to make the per sonality of the candidates a prominent factor. Independence of action, hut at tbe same time the fullest co-operation between the national committee and the senatorial and congressional com mittees Is planned, with the national committee keeping out of all state rows such as those fb Illinois and Mis souri. The well-known abllltx of Gov ernor Cox as a campaigner may cause Senator Harding to depart from bla announced Intention to stick principal ly to front-yard receptions, If the for mer goea on the stump. Announcement by the state depart ment of the United States of the lift ing of trade reatrictions with Russia came unexpectedly. Since Secretary of State Colby had stated Just before his departure for San Francisco that no action was of Immediate, prospect, it is regarded as a recently adopted pol icy. The annouacement expressly states tbat no recognition of the soviet government Is Implied and that indi viduals and corporations trading with Russia must do so at their own risk and are not to expect assistance or protection from consular authorities; also that the post office department will be unable to accept mall to soviet Russia and tbat goods cannot be. for warded by parcel post Materials for war purposes continue under the ban and the state department will continue to refuse passports for Russia. The announcement means In effect tbat persons or corporations desiring to trade with Russia may do ao by deal ing with soviet agents In the United States or In other countries. Tbe state department warns American cltixens against the risks Incident to tbe ac ceptance of commodities or other values which may later be brought In to questloo. It explained that tbe United States doea not recognize tbe validity of Industrial or commercial concessions granted by an existing Russian authority. As a winding up of one of tye prob lems growing out of the war, over $100,000,000 of property felted •• en emy owned during the conflict Is now ready to be returned under qualifica tions provided for in the amendment to the trading with the enemy act, passed during the closing days of the last congress. Among those who may obtain the release of their property are American women who married alien enemies, enemy diplomats, aliens who were interned, citizens of new nations created from enemy terri tory by the treaty of peace, women of allied or neutral countries who mar tied enemy subjects, and Americans who were forced to remain in Ger many during the war. Property mis takenly seised will also be returned and American creditors are permitted to bring claims against enemy debtors whose property was seised. Reports of banditry, but on a somewhat reduced scale, continue to filer In from Mexico. On the other hind come report* that Fraaclwo Villa ha* entered Into an armistice with the new government and agreed to cease attacks on trains, garrisons and towns. This Is in direct contravention of a manifesto Issued a abort time ago by ten of Villa** generals, Including his chief of staff, and a number of civil ians, that war on the new regime would be continued. The burden of the manifesto waa that the Obregon and De La Huerta government la the product of a military coup and. at tempting to establish itself with the same passions, Jealousies, ambitions and mistakes as of old. will be Impo tent to restore peace In the country. - - _ TH« AIWNCE OLEAKER, ORAHAH H. O As pointing to an assurance, or one which the authorities are attempting to create. Is the recent statement from Mexico City that the government ft ready to protect the Interests of brW ness men In the republic, whether they are Mexicans or foreigners. Mex ico presents an appearance of Im proved tranquility, but the question whether it will continue is an open one. As an' Intimation of the degree of faith attaching to the promises of Vllia and others of bis kind, comes the government announcement that there will be no relaxing of vigilance against rebels. The Spa conference, which has been endeavoring to 0* the amount Ger many shall pay In reparations, settle the disarmament question and other problems of the peace treaty, devel oped Into a session of much difficulty. From the outset the allies showed an outwardly united front with little ap parent incllaatlon toward leniency. Lloyd George especially showed a'flrm exterior and even a very peremptory attitude In dealing with the German' delegates. Indications, however, were not lacking of Internal dissension and Indecision among the allies. The Ger mans sought.to mitigate the provision of the treaty calling for disarmament and the reduction of their forces. Their claim was that Internal'condi tions prevented their carrying out the terms of the clause In the time speci fied; also that In view of recent trou bles and the danger of recurrence, and the Russian menace. It was unwise to do so. One stumbling block was over the question of rifles arid small arms which the German soldiers carried to their homes after the conclusion of the war, an action abetted by the govern ment and which, It has been charged, has been utilized by the German au thorities as the basis for a big citizen military organisation still very dan gerous to the peace of Europe. Internal friction among the allies, which It was' sought to keep bidden, was due to disagreement over a divi sion of reparations and the spoils of war. Italy. Serbia and Belgium have each claimed priorities, while the al lotments to be made France and Eng land have for some time constituted a delleatye phase in the relations of those two countries and haa affected the at titude toward them of the other al lies. The allies delivered an ultima tum to the effect that Germany must disarm by Oct 1, or suffer an occupa tion of her territory. The Russian bolshevik menace ' looms more strongly over western Eu ! rope, with Poland reported not otaly weakening but In a state of near col lapse under the red offensive and seek ing an armistice. Germany thus be comes the barrier and Is more strongly Insistent on an amellortatlon of the peace treaty which will permit her, In stead of an army of 100.000 men, one of 200.000, or even considerably larger. The view has considerable support In England and France that the reds are at present more dangerous than as armed Germany and that It might be > good move to permit the Germans to keep larger military forces If In re turn they ,wlll dam the soviet tide. If Poland's condition Is really so desper ate as reported. It leaves General Wrangel, who Is battling the balshev- Ikl from the Crimean peninsula north ward. the reds' only opponent of Im portance. He recently has bad some great successes. Including the wiping out or capture of two Russian cavalry corps; but w,UI Po'snd out of commis sion, the military machine which crum pled that country and also swept away Kolchak, Denlklne and Semenoff, may be expected to make rather short work of Wrsngei. The advance of the Greek ferces against the Turkish nationalist! has been so rapid that resistance Is said to have been largely overcome. A junc tion of the Greeks operating In the Smyrna area *lth others operating from Pandemia on the Sea of Mar mora, estimated to require 10 daya, has been effected in lb days. Musta pha Kemal, the Turk leader. Is aald to have been reduced to the necessity of condtfctJng a guerrilla warfare. Ameri cana throughout the war area are now saM to be safe.

R. BURNETT, Prea't NatH Ass'n Credit Men. « Income tax laws in this country and abroad for jearq past recognized the principle that the burden of government expense should be borne by those who enjoy on income in amount more than that required for the absolute necessities of life and .that as the income increases the rates of taxation should be raised in proportion as the ability to pay of the taxpayers rises, as in our present system. Begardless as to what manner of tax is levied, be it a tax on property, property transfers, corporate profits, luxuries, general 'sales or individual incomes, it must finally be paid from someone's individual income. We have recog nized the principle of taxing in proportion to income ahd ability to pay and it is impossible to carry this principle through in any other way than by directly taxing each individual on his individual income in proportion to his income and lability to pay. If the government were to levy a tax on the entire income received or accrued of every individual, then there would be a tax levied on all the income there is in the country and none would escape. The committee on federal taxation of the National Association of Credit Men has suggested that there fehould be .an adjustment of the rates of taxation on pevsonal incomes (both normal and surtax) to meet the requirements of the 'federal budget. It is also in favor of the elimination of the excess profits tax, the elimination of the corporation income tax, the substitution a corporation undistributed earnings tax at a graduated rate that will have a tendency to encourage payment of dividends, and also under this plan that dividends should be subject to the normal tax in the hands of the individual. Today the public is fast coming to realize that the excess profits tax, which was heralded as bearing heavily on the gfeat corporations, is in the last analysis b?ing paid by the consumers in increased prices for everything they purchase. To remedy this evil we must remove the cause; abolish this cost of doing business and the cost will cease to be added to the selliiyj price of merchandise. •' If congress takes the necessary action to change this condition, no one will escape taxation, but many who are now being taxed indirectly and unjustly through high prices of necessities will be relieved of this, burden of the high cost of living. Place the tax on the tividual income and yd& will reach all the income of the country, including corporation profits aa well aB profits of every kind, for the corporation is just a group of people to whom the profits of the business belong and who, under an individual income tax, would pay their just share on those profits. [Vacation Platform for Sportsmen— * the Gentlemen of Out-of-Doors. * —: By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. We will "go light." We will take what we need rather than what we may use. We will stand on our own feet. We will use our brains. We will study woodcraft. will achieve something. We will not shirk; we will not sulk; we will do our share orthe camp work thoroughly and cheerfully; we will meet the challenge of the wilder ness like sportsmen—the gentlemen of out-of-doors. We will keep the camp clean. We will burn aria bury our garbage; we will not pollute sparkling lake or running stream. 'We will have pure drinking water and well-cooked food. We will remember that we are facing the extinction of our big game and of our game birds and fishes; that posterity has rights, and that sports manship has responsibilities. - y The market-hunter and the game-hog are a stench in the nostrils of the sportsman. We will treat them as they deserve. And we ourselves will take only what we need from forest, field and stream. "The catching of fish is not all of fishing." We will use light tackle and give all fish a fair chance; we will throw back the small ones —when trout, with a wet hand. We will obey all game laws. We will take of the forest to build the camp and to cook and to keep the camp-fire bright, but we will not needlessly or wantonly mar or dis figure the fair face of Nature. .* We will «?t no forest fires. Every fire kindled will be watched while burning and be put out before being left. Matches and tobacco will be handled by us with scrupulous care. , We will relax and be our natural selves, and rest, remembering that Nature preaches many a sermon of honesty and of simplicity and of con tentment. So shall we return better men. We will repay the hospitality of the wilderness by promoting the preservation of the forests and ot wild life and the creation of additional game preserves and national parks. i' 1 1 Germany Still an Unrepentant Sinner and Should Be Treated as Such. ' By BISHOP CANNON, Methodist Episcopal Church, South. First, Germany has sinned . . . Secondly, the world suffers . . . Thirdly, Germany is unrepentant Germany is sorry, ay, even to the point of "weeping and gnashing of teeth," but not sorry for her sin. No, she is sorry for her failure . . . There is no indication that Germany has experienced any real change of heart There is no indication that she' has any sorrow, to say nothing of remorse, for the poverty, the debt, the famine, the disease, the suffering, the death j|he,has brought upon the world. Germany is sorry, angrily sorry, amaiedly sorry, sullenly And morosely sorry, revengefully sorry, but she is still an unrepentant sinner, and she ought to be treated as such ... A truly repentant Germany Would sorrowfully but eagerly try to make reparation. The,present real Germany is trying by hypocrisy and delay to evade reparation. . Fourthly, Germany must pay. For the good of the world, ay, for her own real good, Germany must be made to pay, to atone, as far as possible, for the crimes . . . Fifthly, the peace treaty should' be rigidly enforced. Germany mast be made to realize that she can not escape just punishment and repara tion ... A repentant Germany is greatly to be desired; hat if not a repentant Germany, a submissive, obedient, de-Prussianized Germany The "Liver Tone" Man Warns Folks Against the Sickening, Salivating Drug.
