Alarmist reports sent out from Washington this week to the contrary notwithstanding, the situation so far as the allied powers are concerned is much bet ter than it was a year ago. While tho financial burdens of England, Franco and Italy undoubtedly are heavy, fortunately they have based their expenditures on a more sciei. ttfie method than the central pow ers. England is paying as it goes as far as possible and economists fig. ure that the huge debt can be re duced appreciably by a continuation of the war tax after peace comes In Clerniany, on the other hand, the war has been financed almost ex clusively with bond issues, the ex pectation being that the enemies would pay the cost. The German people are beinjg told that if the central empires are defeated they will be ruined, because the cost of the war will, be (overwhelming1. The United States is the only big power whose financial chest has not been drained. Its resources are greater than those of any belliger ent and while it is paying its part, still most of the money will be spent at home and tho greater part of that loaned the allies will find its way into the hands of farmers and manufacturers. It would TequLro 10 years to impair the financial strength of the United Slates. Almost exclusive use of white wheat flour is a cause of pellegra, Dr. C. II. Croom of Wilmington informs J. P. Lucas, secretary of the state food commission. In that case the use of whole wheat flou ought to be encouraged for two reasons, the second being that the supply of flour will go farther. The excess profits tax is based on the excess business of concerns three years before the outbreak of the war. If a concern was going bad then and made a killing as a result of war, the government in tends to have a part of the profits. That sounds fair enough; and in any event, the money must be raised. J.

Sale of Hickory Township Land For Taxes These delightful afternoons are far more preferable than rummaging ar ound in the basement, with the ther. mometer 6 degrees above, trying to stop a leak in the water pipe. The United States is expecting to spend a few extra dollars on this war. Raising the sinews is not childs' play any more. We know of a few men who urged preparedness three years, ago who are not hollering at the cost now. Strong Men and Measures In Russia Springfield Republican. In this country there has been rather too much disposition to re proach Russia with not producing a strong man," meaning of course a man capable of bringing the country to order and uniting it for the pros ecution of the war. But this both does injustice to the leaders of the revolution, who probably compare well in force and ability with the states men and generals of any other coun y' """.takes too little account of the terrific forces which revolution lets loose. In the popular notion of a "strong" man there is a serious fallacy No man is strong ex cept through the strength of others; the leader with no following is as helpless as Napoleon on the rock of "Wtt ftiin.V 1 XI .iZr" 'reiore, to con- WUIW ronj? mi with strong meas- M.y. ivercnsKy seems now in a k sition to apply strong measures, but he was as strong a man before uir ith to the country made opposing elements grant him new powers.

It was because this fatal istic view of the degeration of gov ernments had deeply impressed thoughtful men of antiquity that Pol ybius was so greatly struck with the stability promised by the rising pow er of Rome, combining republican institutions with dictatorship is a painful and difficult expedient for a free people; they cannot be blamed if they come to it with re luctance and ill-will, yet history shows that it is often the safest way. There are times when it is better to make chosen men the trustees of liberty than to let the welter of anarchy throw up self chosen dictators to seize power by the sword. Abraham Lincoln was a good derj of a dictator, but a first rate democrat; and so far as we know Kerensky, the present heir of the revolution, is equally sincere and incorruptible in his democracy. It would have been well for Rus sia if it could have brought itself earlier to grant him a dictator's powers: in their profound and na tural (vad of a counter revolution the radicals were taking the surest way to bring it to pass by binding th2 lnr ls of the government and tormenting anarchy. But it is as foolish to scold a vast, ignorant and disorganized nation as to rail at leaders when the nation will not fol low; a great empire in revolution is like a dismasted and rudderless ship in a typhoon, and we have to recognize forces lyond human con trol. Luckily Russia has no lack of able, honest and self-sacrificing men; if panic has at last forced discor dant groups to drop their quarrels and give loyal support to the govern ment, we may soon see a turn for the better. Strong men can do lit tle till the times permit them to use strong measures.
