The scheme to appeal to the poor "man and the grandstand and put over about a seventy. per cent, tax on people of wealth finally met a crushing defeat in the Senate, and ttc laroi lettc crowd can now go hide its face in shame. The Senate, while doubtless radical, bad too much self-respect 'to allow itself to be carried away by the grandstand efforts o put wealth out of business at a single blow. In rapid succession the Senate rejected, by a vote of 57'to 12, the Hollis amendment restor ing the pre-war basis for computing: war profits; another of the LaFollettc amendments, for a sixty per cent, war profits tax, by a vote of co to 1 8, and a second Hollis amendment,. propoing a fifty per cent, war profits levy, by a vote of 5J to tS. The best showinir the "maximalists" made throughout their fight was in the vote on the I j ollelte seventy per cent, amendment, wnen thev mustered twenty votes. On the roll call on the Hollis fifty per cent, amendment Sena tar Borah of Idaho and Trammcll of Florida, who had been voting consistently for the high er levies, went to the other side, fearing that the protovil would permit the United States Steel Corporation and other large concerns to escajH? with less taxation than under the finance committee shcdulc of rates. Thi is a it should be. All of us arc in favor of taxing the rich man as much as the poor man is taxed, but no more. I.rt each man pay hi just proportion of taxation, and that-will be a square deal. Hut because a rich man hap pen to be living when a war is on, which 'it i claimed is to benefit mankind, meaning the jxor and rich alike, there is no reason why a rich man sftould tote any more of the burden in proportion to his means than the poor maii. Thi would be injustice. The popular fad of the Ijl ollcttes and Borahs and other grand stand artists to make it appear that because a man has an income he should yield it all is fol dc rol. On the same principle it could be claimed that the skilled laborer should give up all his wage except a dollar a day because there are mpn in the world who work for a dollar a day. If one man happens to poses the talent to make a million dollars and another man doesn't, there i no more justice in plucking the million from him than there would be in plucking the four dollars a day from the man who made five dollars because some other fel low had earning capacity of ut one dollar. The laborer i worthy of hi hire, and the man who makes a million work for it and has tal ent to make it or he wouldn't make it. Fmjal, taxation is the only thing. So much on the dollar. If a laboring man has but a dollar a day he spend but a dollar, and the tax should be o fixed that he would pav his share equally with the man who ha a million. Bc caue the dollar-a-day man gets just as much benefit a the fivc-dol!ar-aday or the hundred-!o!!ara-day man. Bui these fellows who think they arc presidential timber, who look in the mirror and say to themselves jhat mavbc omc day they will be President, go out and harangue the mob and tell it it should have special privilege. Happily the Senate awoke in lime to head off the. wild bills pro- pod. John'a Last Bitter Reflection. John Barleycorn i in desperate straits. He rrache. like a drowning man. for any straw in sight. He doent care much what he claims. iul vo he claim something to make himself believe. Hi last bitter reflection is the fact, a he re it. that prohibition ha caused the price of meats to go to such a high figure. He prate thi acrtion by hi uual sophistry. In a circular received from Cincinnati this morning, in a plain envelope (John always work in the dark), wc gel this refreshing in formation: Prohibition i held responsible by some dealer for the newet wac of high prices ( meal. They maintain that closing down diti!!eric ha caucd tn Prices r beef tfi snar above the figure of civil war da . Cattlemen hae atway found it pfnfitalde to feed Mock on the refuMr of grain and com furnihed by distilleries and brcwrrie. With the closing of di tillrrie in the prohibition state this .source of fooI ha failed the cattle raisers, flrain i too exjenivc to feed, because the farmer ran get more for the grain in Ihc market than he can realize in the light increase in the value of gTain fed cattle. Figure show that a steer weighing (too pund will weight 9m pound when ready fr-r the market if fed on grain refuse, wherea a steer of the same weight left to pasture will not weigh more than 700 or 75 pound. In other word. thcrc were a few hundred di'tiUeric in the country and a great many m-'!j'n cattle. John would hae u believe that all the beef caltlc that had hitherto been !aahierel were fattened at one of his old !"!. now happily out of business. He o-j!1 hac ti beliee that the grain he didn't uf.. after he had gotten the poiwm out of it ar-d boulcd. fattened the million upon millions rf oule ued for meat in thi country. John i a n?rat old discmbl. a great old fraud, and a?wa wa. but to make the averaire school l0. brieve uch stuff would be impossible.

The attemot of the kaiser in his recent ances to place justification of his unspeakable down with an irOn safe or two and a half car. ronduet on England, his insistence that he load orbaggage you f eel that he isn't going te I went to war solely to defend Germany and not skip in the night and leave you with yout rent -to wax upon the world, all falls to the ground unpaid. Vou feel that he is a fixture; that he in the light of recent evidence. The New York is substantial; that he is there. Herald is publishing telegrams which passed nu u you nappcu over a town and between the kaiser and the late dethroned czar of Russia which prove conclusively that the kaiser wanted to form an alliance with Russia, force "France into it', and wage a war of annihilation on England. Of these impor tant, telegrams, cabled exclusive! to the Her ald, that paper says: Treacherous, cunning and unscrupulous as he is known to be, utterly conscience less in his dealings with all mankind, the German emperor stands alone today, fac ing an outraged world. Intrigue always was his favorite weapon, force his creed "might makes right." The Herald today is enabled to throw a new light on this man, to prove conclu sively that even before he drenched the world in blood he was the same malig nant schemer that he is today, the same remorseless and shameless conspirator. Mr. Herman Bernstein, the Herald's special correspondent in Petrograd, has obtained for first publication in the Her ald some historic documents that are of vast importance in shedding light on the true kaiser, in revealing him as he stood while deliberately scheming his world war. These documents arc telegrams ex changed between the kaiser and Crar Nicholas of Russia the first recorded messages bearing the now famous signa tures "Willy" and "Nicky." The telegraphic correspondence between the two rulers was conducted in the years 1904. 1905, 1906 and 1907 and shows that the kaiser made every endeavor to form an alliance of three great '.European pow- ers againsi r.ngiand during the Kusso- Japanese war. It shows also that he sought to force France into a break with England, urging a secret treaty between Germany and Russia, the news to be broken to France only succeeding the ac complished tact. . In other words, the dream of the kaiser for many years has been complete domination of the world. To know that he was held up at Belgium, where the hand of God first appeared against him, is the gratifying par., of it. It will take a blood-drenched world to put him out of business, but happily the world is eager 10 mane me sacrmce. ihc convincing proof i noiv at hand, and it looks again as though Providence had assisted in giving this proof to the public at this time. It makes complete justification for the determination of the allies to annihilate the kaiser and his kingdom. o The Lawyers Stand Pat. The American Bar Association took time to pass resolutions endorsing the President -and denouncing the kaiser. Mr. F-lihu Root, who has been to Russia and who. is the biggest man in the legal profession in this country, offered the following resolutions, which were nnani. j mously adopted: J The American Bar Association declares ' its absolute and unqualified loyalty to the ! government of the United States. "Wc afc ; convinced that the future freedom and security of our country depend upon the defeat of German military power in the present war. Wc approve the entrance of the United States into the war before it was too late to find success through the united action of the democratic powers. We urge the most vigorous possible prosecution of the war with all the strength of man and ma terials and money which the country can supply. , . Wc stand for the speedy dispatch of the American army, however raised, to the battle front in Europe, where the armed enemies of our country can be found and fought, and where our own territory can be best defended. The lawyers are all doing what thev can to. aisi in giving moral strength to the prosecu 1 lion of the war; the merchant is dointr hU hit- j iv u -uuiii i uuiung up his excess j profit and letting his labor go to the front 1 outside of the organized anarchist mAn,. ' organized anarchists. macmiA j ading under the names of freedom parties and j workingmen's parties, the whole country is a J unit. And when the spies and vlart weeded out it will be the better for us all We are glad the lawyers stand pat and do not en dorse those few men like Hardwick of Georgia and I-aFoIlcttc of Wisconsin. A Thv "Pall T I--- - y !! All In olTering the efcvcn-billion-dollar bond 1 bill which will be passed this week it looked strange to sec Claude Kitchm standing up and telling the people that wc must have the money and that this was but a starter. Of this elcven-billion-dollar bond issue four bil lion of it will be loaned to the allies. Think of the money wc have loaned the allies, and then wonder what they would have done had -it not . .-vvi. w. v,ih.il .mil. iic Kaicr naa ngured 1 this all out. but- he hadn't figured tha.t we vouia noi oniy nnancc the war, but that we vyould send fic million men to help fight it. .. . . . . -.... i' nkiiL 11 o it has in fact been left tn th 1 to finish the job.. And the weitern world i responding with all its strenrih nA . orld is strcnclh and Money by the billion and men bv the mill; ' . - ' . . O " v. nri nai nc coum mc aiucs hope lor, what else is needed? If wc are to have a new depot, why not also have a new railroad at the same time and make it a union station? Just about the time we get the new depot there will be another railroad with a station about a mile out, and then there will be an anvil chorus for ten years about a union station. Why not can all the goods at on"c? The Red Cross workers know no time for rest.' The millions of needed agrmcnts are be ing supplied by the will inf worker wtin An cf their time freely rd cheerfully.' - ... " ; Trie Way It If. utter - It you are renting a room and a man come see at one time a four hundred thousand dol lar hotel going up; see an investment of vCVen hundred thousand dollars in a new public building; know for a fact that a great life in surance company . is going, to spend righ. away from two hundred and fifty to six hundred thousand dollars in erecting a building- on , principal street; have the assurance that a big national bank is going to build something bet ter than, most any other bank building in the state; have it as a fact that a new big passen ger depot is contemplated and not far away, and you look around and see churches galore' and homes as many and as prettv as yU'i ever saw in a plot as large as this city, why, man. you know it is there. You know that an in vestment" in .real estate is a sure thing; that such a town will never go backward; that its own force will drive it forever on. That's Greensboro right now, with real estate values lower than in any other town of like size any where. And that is why local capitalists are getting busy and buying corners and desirable busi ness sites. That is why so many splendid homes are being built. Greensboro is not and never was a "boom town." But she has been growing right along for the last fifteen years, and her prosoect; tn day are five times brighter than ever. Greens boro is not only on the map, but she wants more room on the map. She is growing. -o 9 Let the City Pinner also tell us what too with the old buildings ' that are being torn down. Some of the buyers-are going to re build, and certainly that will mar the beauty of the landscape. o - Having Their Fun. The towns with cantonments are having their fun. They are feeding thousands of new people; they are living at a mining camp rate- but one of these fine mornings when there is no cantonment, and the .relapse and collapse comes the town' that today disports itself in high feather wiU be wearing a face long enough to eat oats out of, an old-fashioned drum churn. ' True, Greensboro sought ' a cantonment. She figured the dirty dollars that would come her-avay if she got one and she wanted one. But she didn't get it, and really and in fact the second sober -thought makes fs a!! glaH. that we didn't get it.. The town iha "tows steadily is the town that wins out. Lib the newspaper that sells -on its merits, which doesn't very : three or four months chJoro-. form people and give them houses and lots and automobiles ; to take it off the publishers hands, generally builds , a substantial list and a paying list, and there isn't a hole deer. enough to bury a man-of-war; when the "rime expires." .The cantonment will ieavc manv glaces ernpty; it will-auddehry;- depopulate v as it populated ; and aft in thisrlnushroom busi ness isn't hardly worth the price. However, this will be called souf( grapes, the which It !isht, but more of the Concord variet v. But Why Should He? The Statesville Landmark makes the propo sition' that Uncle Sam may think he has some special privileges. Maybe he has, but why should he have? The Landmark says: Taking.note of the fact that the govern . ment has ordered the International Paper Company- to furnish print paper for the , government Bulletin at 2 1-2 cents a pound the Greensboro Record wants to knoAv why the same rate can't be fixed for news papers generally. Jtis to be supposed that the government has decided that 2 1-2 cents allows a fair profit. That be ing so, there would seem to ' be no good reason why the rest of us shouldn't share the benefit. 'Uncle Sam, however, may consider that he has a right to a special privilege. The point is that if Uncle Sam, through his trade commission, finds that thrp is a fair profit in paper at 21-2 cents, and makes the mills furnish it to him at that, why not make the mills furnish paper to all consumers at that price? If Uncle Sam comes in and makes the mills furnishpaper below cost to them, then naturally the publisher must pay the freight make up for that deficit and that is making it unreasonably hard rfn. the publisher. in oiner worqs, it Uncle Sam causes the mill to operate for his benefit at a loss, naturally the mill will make it up on others, and as news paper publishers are alone hit, it isn't fair. If it were- some general commodity and the whole public would be called upon to make up the deficit, we could see where it was none of our business. But why should we pay more for paper in order that Uncle Sam mav get it tor less? Query and Judge Clark will. please answer p. d, q. -o- Funny old world, eh? Uncle Sam urging people to can all they can and no cans in sight because Uncle am has used up all the tin for other purposes. How can you can if you can't? Some of the large distillers in the Cnited States evidently accept the prohibition clause of the food control law as a "war" measure in the broadest and most comprehensive tense. It is announced from Peoria, 111., where some of .he largest distilleries are situated, that the owners of the plants there are preparing to go out of business, and that the works will be used, for the manufacture of other products. When the distillers ' and the brewers generally realize that about all that is needed is for some one to move that "it be made unanimous." n order to render their business permanently out lawed, a stampede to "unload will begin. And if we don't have a fair well, the mov ing pictures are still with us. - - 7
