This is not ie partisan charge of a Democratic politician; it is the stern and timely warn- ing of the secretary of the treasury in a letter to the house committee on ways and means. He shows that expenditures last month were $113,000,000, as com- pared with only $76,000,000 for the same ‘month a year ago. Business depression has brought about the great clump in the revenue from taxation. And yet congress insisted upon tinkering with the tariff: be- fore revising taxes. Secretary Mellon foresaw: last spring exactly what has happened; he warned © con- gress but congress refused to heed his warning. Now come the hard facts and figures and they give a jolt to congress and a jar to the country. Perhaps the congress needed the one as much as the country need- ed the other. “The long list of suggestions for tax revision made by Mr. Mellon deserves careful study. They are clear- ly set forth, and for each Mr. Mellon is prepared to make a strong argument. He has been hard at work studying the effect and probable yield of each new tax and the reason for the failure of the taxes. that are no longer revenue producers. “In calling for the cutting down of publie ependi- tures, we cannot believe that Mr. Mellon intended that there should be any curtailment in the belated and for the: most part utterly inadequate relief that the federal government has thus provided for our disabled veterans. This is a debt we owe the living and the dead. It must be paid as far as it can be paid; -the payments ought not to be longer delayed. Less money for the National Guard perhaps, but not less assist- ance for our defenders in the war. Mr. Mellon’s ap- peal for a reduction in public expenditures only re- iterates what he said to congress last spring. “The warning and the appeal from such a source | better wi 50,1 gress did not do this.

Not only mast / there be a radical revision of taxes but old economies} must be revived as well as new taxes resorted to. Sec-| retary Mefon believes in telling the whole truth about the condition of the government's finances. It is the ME FB ER THE PRESIDENT LEADS. The country can congratulate the president upon his splendid nerve and the faith he exhibits in pol- icies he believes to be right. He is assuming the lead- ership, not alone of his party, but in the general af- fairs/of the country. He waited for congress to de- velop a leadership with which to co-operate. Con- sponsibility. And in the language of the street pro- jected the buck. Mr. Harding wes quick to sense the situation and although it wes not the plan he had in mind when he entered the White House, he took the leadership and to the credit of congress it fell into lime with the president’s suggestions as readily as a ship obeys the helm. Henceforth the president has committed himself to leadership whether it is his choice or not; and con- gress will follow in co-operation. Initiative in the fu- ture comes from the White House. The ‘president has it and the courage that belongs with it. He will not show the fear that congress so often shows in deal- ing with a situation that may develop unpopular fea- tures. He will have the public welfare in mind not his own public fate. Mr. Harding has the confidence of the people. They believe in his honesty and his good purposes. They will not expect him to accomplish in full all of the projects he mzy have for the public good. They will even expect him to make mistakes. But they will not desert him as long as he leads the country away from the errors and dangers into which it was drifting be- fore they chose him to be their leader, Mr. Harding has in his own modest way not only grown into popular lcadcrship, but he has grown to full presidential stature. Gch: SITS EE INCLINATION TOWARD RELIGION. Ralph Burton Perry, writing in the Atlantic Month- ly on the inclination of the two sexes toward religion makes a point in’fayor of the man. He says: “Consider the popular view that women are more religious than men. The real point seems to be that women are more inclined than men to go to church; which’ is a very different. thing. “Sunday is related to the week as the evening to the day. For a man, therefore, it is a day at home; and for a woman, a day out. A man’s idea of Sun- day is to surround his house with barbed wire, lock and barricade the doors and windows, disconnect the telephone, put on his slippers and an old suit, and then devote the day to reading the paper and ‘puttering.’ A woman’s idea of Sunday is to have everything cleaned and polished up, including the children; every- body in best clothes; and then have half of her friends in in the afternoon, and visit the other half in the evening. , “Now it is not difficult to see which program and mood most easily accommodates itself to public wor- ship. If you are all dressed up and socially inclined, what can be more natural and agreeable than going to church? And if you are down cellar, in old clothes, building bookshelves out of a packing box, what can be more impossible?” a PT AN UNUSUAL EMERGENCY, fi They have a peculiar situation down tn Mercer county, West Virginia. There have been so many court convictions carrying jail sentences, that the ca- pacity of the jail is wholly inadequate to. accommo- date the number who should be serying time. In or- der to relieve the situation the erring brothers called upon the court with a proposal to give bail and as fast as places were vacant by reason of expiration of sentence of predecessors they would surrender to the sheriff and fill the vacancies. In this manner the jail weuld be fully occupied at all times. The court ac. cepted the suggestion in relief of the emergency and it is being carried out faithfully. mountain streasns; lie under the energy, new ambitions. modations.
