While local democratic newspapers, under or ders to acclaim everything from Washington that bean the official democratic atamp, are ting ing the praises of the administration revenue measure, especially for the reason that it hits chiefly inherited wealth and people of large in comes, the New York World, which it the presi dent's most valiant champion in the east, is vio lently assailing the bill as undemocratic and as class legislation in its deliberate design to exempt the vast majority of the people from bearing any share in thit burden of government "If thit measure aims to raise additional funds for na tional defense," the World insists, "the contention as to income taxes that they apply only to the rich, because those of small meant already con tribute indirect taxation, does not apply to thit case," For various reasons carefully set out when it Comes to national defense, in the opinion of The World, the man of small income is, or ought to be, at keenly interested as his more opulant neighbor and every single man having an income in excess of $1,000 and every head of a family having an income in excess of $1,500 "should be glad to contribute according to his means to the fund which is to safeguard the re public against aggression from whatever quarter it may appear. That is 'democracy" and with out democracy a democratic party is useless." The trouble it that the democracy of the New York World and the democracy of the Wilton claquert do not hit the tame key. The bill, how ever, it not yet through the tenate and it will be interesting to observe whether it emerges with its "democracy" unchanged. Battle of Wonderful Results. The fight between the British and German naviet off Jutland will go into naval annalt at important for teveral reasons, but is not at all likely to be given full credit for alt it accom plished. It is one of the very few great fights in all history in which both sides won a clean vic tory. Besides this, it has confirmed Admiral Dewey's .theory of the supremacy of the dread naught and justifies Admiral Knight's contention that the battle cruiser is indispensable. Advocates of the submarine find support for their cltimt in thit engagement, and the championt of the tor pedo boatt are fully tuttained by what happened. Plain people will be content to let the expert! have it out in their own way, feeling at did old Katpar, after Blenheim, that it waa "a great vic tory." . . V " Transporting the Troopt. The railroads of the country meet criticitm of the service given in the recent troop movement with the excuse that they provided trains as or dered by the War department, and furnished equipment as requested. The movement, the roads lay, wat made on a war basis, specifica tions for which require tourist sleeper! or day coaches for the men and itandard aleeperi for the officer!. In all the United Statet only 500 touritt sleepers exist, and these were to widely scattered it wat impracticable to assemble them, contequently the men had to ride in day coachet. Furthermore, the railroads have a letter from the War department, expressing the tatitfaction of the tecretary of war at the manner in which the movement wat handled. Oh, very welll But three weeks' time wat re quired to collect 100,000 men on the border, while thoutanda yet wait in ttate mobilization campt, held for equipment which it not available, while the men on the border are not yet fully equipped, thoutandt of them wearing winter uniforms un der the blazing tun of Texat. What would have happened if the country had faced a real criais? All the way along the line the movement of these soldiers hat been marked by exposure of in competence somewhere. Letters from the tecre tary o( war expressing gratification for the rail roads' thare In the work will not hide the fact that the mobilization wat delayed, and that under war cohditioni thit delay would have been fatal. The unreadinett of the United Statet for wtr hat been exhibited with startling clarity, but it it not too late to apply the lesson. The problem of co-ordinating the railroads at a part of a gen eral plan for national defente it only one of tev eral thlngt that mutt be worked out on a better basis. Filipinos Turn s Financial Deal. 'The government of the Philippines hat just contummated a deal that recalls the campaign of twenty yeart ago, when silver waa an issue, and we heard to much about the government's profits on "seignorage." It has disposed of a consider able part of itt hoarded tilver coinage to Great Britain for use in India, at a profit of half a mil lion dollars. This silver waa purchased at a low price, coined and stored in the treasury vaults against currency issues. Under the tutelage of the United States, gold is being substituted as the basil for Filipino money, and a large part of the silver held in reserve it thut made of little service. Under thit plan the Philippine government finds itself In a most advantageous position when deal ing with itt nearett neighbor!, mott of which are still on a tilver basis, and therefore compelled to pay now a much higher price for the metal needed for coinage, itt value being fixed by gold, the in exorable working of the Gresham law. The pres ent instance it interesting at showing from what the United Statet was preserved by the republican party, when it made the fair, square fight to put our national monetary system on a sound and tcientific basis. Had the "sacred ratio" prevailed in 1896, the United States today might be buying the debased coins of other countries at an en hanced price to supplement itt supply of money. ' The efforts of the publicity end of the Wilton administration to work a pulmotor on the Balti more declaration for reduced cost of living, en livens the gayety of the season.. The ultimate con sumer is advised that rising prices halted for breath in 1915, and twenty-nine articles of food slipped back one point compared with 1914 prices. How -these "tlackert" lost their grip is not ex plained. If meat products slumped 4 to 9 per cent few households detected the slump, but wheat, flour, cornmeat and sugar scored advances from 11 to 20 per cent An all-round average rise la the result of the official showing, emphasizing the gulf between democratic promises and per formances ' Twelve good men and true acquitted Orpet of direct responsibility for the death of Marion Lambert . The jury could not go beyond the charge in the indictment although indirect re sponsibility was aa clear at the mow which formed the unfortunate girl'a death bed. If a tmall police court fine will not cure the lawless auto driver, perhapt the penalty might be made to grow with the growing offense. ITOHAV Thought Nugget for the Day.

"Aye, an' here be our initial! that you carved, Sandy," she replied. The ensuing silence was only broken by the buzzing of an aeroplane overhead. Honey-laden memories thrilled through the twilight and flushed their glowing cheeks. "Ah, Mary," exclaimed Sandy, "ye're just as beautiful as ye ever were, and I ha e never for gotten ye, my bonnie lass." "And ye, Sandy," she cried, while her blue eyes moistened, "are jist as big a leer as ever, an' I believe ye jist the tame." London Tit-Bits. Eugene was a very mischievous little boy and his mother's patience was worn to the limit. She had spoken very nicely to him several times with out effect. Finally the said: "You are a perfect little heathen I" "Do you mean it?" demanded Eugene.' "Indeed, I do," said the mother. "Then, mother,", said the boy, "why can't I keep that 10 cents a week you gimme for the Sunday school collection? I guess I'm as hard up as any of the rest of 'em. Philadelphia Ledger. Ex-Governor Colquitt said in a discussion of the Texas situation: "Our opponents spoke too toon. " They took too much for granted. They were like the young girl graduate.

"No," the taid. 'It can never be. My respect for you it great, Mr. Prendergast, and I will be a tister to you." " 'No. you won't' snapped Prendergast 'No, you won t either.

Money and Irrigation. North Platte, Neb., July IS. To tha Edi tor of The Bee: W. H. Campbell, a Ne braska and hiller, complaint of high rates of interest to eandhillera. Tha late demo crat federal reserve banking law allows any member of its system to offer any kind of their short-time obligations to itt board of cven directors: the directors can approve them. There are J500,000,00ft "ahinplasters" lying In the United States treasury to dis count them. No matter how worthless such obligations may be, in this way they can be floated and the financial graft of the sys tem maintained but in no way can a farmer borrow a dollar out of this system. Now comes s rural credit system by the same authority, which, according to W. H. Campbell's figures, allows a sandhill farmer to borrow $2,000 on his sandhills, Interest 7 per cent, abstract 116, flnt semi-annual In terest In advance, 170; $860 commission taken out of the loan, borrower receiving $1,666, tha $2,0 Oft still drawing Interest one-fourth of which the sandhill farmer never get his hands on. We do not make this statement to the derogation of any hon est democrat, but we would call attention to the fact that democracy is a principle not merely a political party; that all moneys and bills of oredit are based primarily upon farm products and that when a farmer bor rows money or credits from the federal re serve system, lie is simply borrowing hit own wealth from the grafters that have first "buncoed" him out of it, I. A. Fort of North Platte, wrote the first letter published in The Bee in favor of sec tion homesteads In the sandhill country of Nebraska. Congressman Neville offered a bill for a two-section homestead. Later someone from Iowa offered a bill for one section : these were turned down. Still later a bill for a one-section homestead became known as the Kincaid bill, and became a law. L A. Fort of North Platte also called the first irrigation convention, held at Grand Island in 1897. I. A. Fort was a private in the union army during the civil war. You tandhillers and Irrigators don't yon forget who your benefactors were! The two paramount questions in the west ern half of these United States are money and Irrigation. Notwithstanding Wilson' declaration that there is "no money trust," a common wood-chopper knows that the present federal reserve system is the big gest money trust ever organised on this earth. That it not only controls the com merce and industry of this country and Europe by financing its war supplies, but its recent boast is that U can now control the commerce of South America. How much longer will the sandhill farmers of Nebraska continue to vote for a system that has already robbed them to a finish and Is now offering them a rural credit sys tem that will make them and their children serfs for life. Let the people take this finance into their own hands and save the margins. , LUCIEN STEBBINS. THE MERCHANT MARINE. ' Cleveland Plain Dealer: The arrival of the submarine Deutschland in Chesapeake bay must be regarded as an epoch making achievement. It proves that the submarine Is far more practical than hitherto recog nised. New York World: Except under the stress of war, no experiment such as the Deutsch land so brilliantly carried through would be worth while. Little was it thought, as the submarine waa developed, that it would be converted to the uses of commerce. But the Germane have demonstrated that it can be made to serve as a carrier of freight, in spite of the vigilance of hostile fleets. Chleago Tribune: The Inspiring feat of tha submarine Deutschland adds another credit to the account of German resource fulness and courageous enterprise. It la evident that German practical genius has gone a long way in the solution of tha problems of submarine navigation, and we hope the adventure of the Deutschland will stimulate America to greater effort In this field. Pittsburgh Dispatch I It Is a tale to fire the imagination, this log of Captain Koenig. Forced to detour 800 miles to avoid Britan nia's sea dogs, the super-submarine traveled 4,180 miles, of which she made 1,800 sub merged. With a speed of eighteen to twenty knots on the surface, she was able to duck under the waves in less than two minutes and continue her voyage submerged at twelve knots. Philadelphia Record: As a feat of sea manship the arrival of a German submarine vessel at Newport News must be considered as adding another to those remarkable ex ploits, such as the long career of the Emb den aa a commerce destroyer, the capture of the Appam and her passage of the Atlan tic to thia country, the successful warlike cruises of converted merchantmen, etc., which have already given great prestige to the kaiser'a sea fighters. St Louis Globe Democrat: It is not cer tain, however, that this means a maritime revolution. One invention always ealls for another. Every impenetrable armament, for example, has stimulated the invention of ir resistible projectiles The entente allies, by methods we may only surmise, managed to cope with the war submarines while trans porting troops across the channel. Some device may soon be found to make the use of the new merchant submarine Im practicable. But the exploit of the Deutsch land Is, nevertheless, one of the most thrill ing in the annals of the sea. TIPS ON HOME TOPICS. Pittsburgh Dispatch: Queer how the cam paigners give the administration credit for prosperity and blame the increased cost of living on the war. Boston Transcript: If those who object to our national hymn beginning with the ab surd words "Oh, say," would compromise on "Oh, gee I" perhaps the matter might be arranged. Chicago Herald: A number of gentlemen seem to be discovering that their "war brides" have cork legs, glass eyes and other disqualifications they overlooked in their first enthusiasm, Cleveland Plain Dealer: The department of agriculture warns the public that the price of meat will probably stay high. However, people shouldn't eat much meat during this heated spell.
