PAYING THE WAR DEBT IS OUR PATRIOTIC DUTY The new revenue law reaches farther into American pocketbooks than any other federal tax! measure.ever did. We will pay taxes in scores of | ways, on incomes, profits, tobacco, and numerous other things. And we will pay high. We cannot; avoid it. It must necessarily follow such an ex- pensive undertaking as was our participation in the world war. | But the victory won on the fields of France| was ‘worth the cost. There is no question of doubt btit that the debt is ours. And it is we.who should pay it. It may take more scrimping and saving to pay | it.- But it won’t take the sacrifice we asked of THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Entere? at the Postoffice, Bismarck, N.

It iis pleasing to note that now it is her ambition to become producer of things worth trading for. | This is perhaps the first war in which one side jarrived at a definite goal of which it was ignorant | at the beginning of hostilities. | | A PAT ON THE BACK FOR THE MOVIES Zowie, those evenings when you feel so all- I fired blue that life doesn’t seem worth the daily effort of getting up and facing it again and you avonder what in Sam Hill we're all here for any- | how and where you’re going—only you don’t care ; much about that—zowie, those are Tough evenings jon the old disposition. | And then, when you are in the deepest depths! of discontent, you stray despondently into a movie. | s and all that sort of stuff.

The trouble comes| when they begin to feel great. One trouble with our standards is that we! jthink spending is prosperity, whereas true pros: boys’ we sent'“over there.” So let’s dig down into our pockets and pay our debt—the debt we owe for the.war we fought to! make the world a better placa in which to work! and live. | But, we were speaking of the war debt. We were referring to the war paying taxes. We were, not asking for voluntary contributions to war tax profiteers. And there are such—and many. They are the men who increase the price of chewing, gum two cents because they are taxed an addi-| tional half per cent per package. They add the, war tax to tobacco and then a little more for good measure! In other words, they are the men ‘who use the war tax as excuse to boost prices higher than the added tax makes necessary. It is a’ pity that the Kitchin-Simmons doesn’t carry a club with which Uncle Sam h: might curb the war tax profiteers. We'd lik see them swatted hard and often. ut, there another club, and it’s in your hands. That i privilege to refrain from trading with profiteers.

RING One morning the mailman brought us a little} booklet advertising cigars. It wasn’t much for, appearance, but the man who wrote it filled its pages with such unbounded evidence of his CON-| FIDENCE in the cigars he’ made that we sent| him $5 for a box. We'll admit he was justified for his pride in) the “smoke.” EXCELLENT. Not long afterward we received another booklet signed by the same man, but it had NOT been written by him. It was filled with good round selling talk, but it lacked that vital something which the first book contained. It failed to impress us with the confidence that had come to us after a reading of the first booklet. It didn’t ring true. We believe there is a lesson in the above inci- dent for merchants, manufacturers or anyone who wishes to sell something by means of advertising. Without unlimited faith or confidence and a knowledge-of your goods, you cannot expect the good public to respond to your appeals, And, nothing is more easily ree than in- sincerity. Think it over.

WILSON AND A THIRD TERM | It may be set down as probably quite true that: President Wilson did not tell democratic commit- | teemen at a White House interview that he would | not accept nomination for a third term, but that} he merely said he desired to get back to writing | d that he had in mind the compiling of a history. | Mr. Wilson has been careful never to say any-| ing about a third-term nomination for the presi- ncy which might come back some day to plague m. Far from looking on the third-term inhibi-| ‘believes a man should be eligible for an unlimited ‘number of terms in the presidency if the people think he is the man for the place and the man of ithe hour. Nominated in 1912 on a platform which de- iclared for one term and proposed a constitutional jamendment to that effect, Mr. Wilson, a month be- fore he was inaugurated the first time, repudiated that plank. He was renominated in 1916. The democratic platform of that year did not raise the {presidential term question at _ all. Mr.; Wilson declared in a letter to A. Mitchell Palmer years ago that he favored nominations for the presidency by direct vote of the people. It was in \that letter he said that the constitutional gift to the American people of the right to choose their own national leader is an unlimited ‘gift. ; It was suspected a year ago that Mr. Wilson was grooming his son-in-law, William G. McAdoo, then secretary of the treasury, as the man to suc- ceed him in office. Mr. McAdoo retired from the cabinet a few weeks ago and is now attorney for a motion picture corporation. Whether he had am- bitions to be president is conjectural, but it is not \to his discredit to say he might have surmised at the time of his retirement that things: were so shaping themselves that the president would con- sider it his duty to stand for a third term. Anyhow, in the light of Mr. Wilson’s expressed views about the presidency, and of Mr. McAdoo’s unexpected withdrawal from public life, the prompt denial from the White House that the president had said he would not accept another Ss The only solid and‘enduring foundation for any league t erve peace is the ruins of Germany.
