Out of this, the material loss measured by the debt incurred the support of vererans crippled or otherwise is of the sincere hope that armies and navies will disappear eventually.

It is an open secret that the tonnage law, which olfends the steel trust, will be fought to the highest courts before it goes into actual effect. But the people's advocates are not so keen. Minneapolis and St. Paul prefer to "hire experts," and trust to Heaven and the state railroad and warehouse commission to be kind to secretary, Wilson and Baker, realized that the moment was opportune for militarism and covered the United States with a net of recruiting offices, offering physical, mental and moral perfection, if not a complete beatitude, beyond mo.

TITUS. Minneapolis, Minn. Mr. Ireland Is a writer of British birth who has spent much time in America, and is a sympathetic student of our Institutions. He is disturbed by what he regards as the virtual disappearance of the principle of representative government from the American political system, and our rapid drifting into a system of direct democracy, which he regards as the very negation of representative republicanism.

The opposition of Secretaries Weeks and Denby to such a conference will eventually have to give way to the popular sentiment.

"Mr. Weeks, the secretary to every volunteer. But the time the danger of the Wilson-Baker measure was realized by congress and a limit to the army was set at 180,000, Baker had already recruited 230,000 men.

Thomas Hultzor, New York, Will Harding Fiddle? The Harding administration is coming to grips with the problem of taxation. The facing of this promises to be the roughest job the new administration has tackled.

In general there are two propositions based upon two distinct philosophies before the administration, the Sales tax based upon concealed taxation and the Keller tax based upon open taxation. In general, big business corporations, and bankers favor the Sales tax, and the small business man and the people favor the Keller bills. The theory of the Sales tax seems to be, make the people for war, has Just made a speech in favor of a powerful army and universal military training.

At the same time and it is a great pleasure to say so it is that they be killed by a bullet not by a sword, young girls outraged under the eyes of their parents, babies in the streets sucking the cold breast of the fices as well as those who look forward to a prospective American empire, which in their opinion cannot come without our defeating Mexico, easy to read, in spite of one or two awkward bits of translation and it is neither malicious nor offensively mordant. Japan and possibly England, manage an idle class, but after these objects have been served, there still remains a portion of the wealth produced for which an outlet must be found. This unconsumable surplus is exported in the form of capital, and it is the necessity of protecting the capital after it has been exported, and of finding ever new opportunities for Its investment, which creates imperialism.

Alternative to this method there Is none under the present economic system, AN OLD FAITH RENEWED Where are Shakespeare's Imagina butchered corpses of their mothers such are the details of the pogroms described in the book of Ellas Heifetz. Events of the past few years have stupefied human sensibilities. Men have become callous.

At the.

same time tha massing of popular sentiment against this prospective burden is unmistakable, and it can hardly ba doubted that, with Mr. Hughes at the. state department pressing steadily towards international co-operation, an announcement of Mr. Harding's decision will not be long delayed. This decision, the Manchester Guardian points out, is to open negotiatioas for disarmament in accordanace with the popular wish of the American people and despite the sentiments of the army and navy departments and even not fully In accordance with President Harding's individual dream? Where is the sweet fancy of Sidney, the airy spirit of Fletcher, and Nearing maintains.

He argues that to maintain their hold on the growing army and navy and, contrary to the expressed desires of the American people, upset the anti-militarist policy of our liberal statesmen. Japan and England, on the other hand, are well aware of the political situation in this country. They reply with sweet rhetoric to all pacifist orations of our army and navy departments and continue to build warships and drill soldiers so as to keep up with the military preparations of the United States. The grand total Is a wild armament natural terror.

Congressman Keller wants wide-open taxation, free and above board, distributed in proportion as citizens are able to pay, and so placed as to impede as little production and improvements as possible. He proposes that land values in excess -of $10,000 be taxed one per cent after all improvements are exempted; that a heavy graduated tax be laid upon inheritances; that unearned incomes be taxed twice as much as earned; and that income, corporation and sales taxes, except upon tobacco, liquor, oleomargarine and habit-forming drugs be repealed. Which of these measures Harding will favor, is not certain. If he continues his friendship with the overlords of finance, it is plain that he will accept the Sales tax and its vicious theory of special privilege. Milton's thought savere?

Territorial expansion, by direct or veiled annexation, is of course the chief means of providing for the expansion of capitalism. Nearing shows the necessity for expansion has come to be generally recognized in the press, which talks of the country's manifest destiny, and applauds militarist adventures in the Philippines, in Haiti and in Central America.

Some of them are of local subjects.

All of them may be said to treat subjects which, in so far as color may be said to symbolize national characteristics, are American. Here is the bridge above Minnehaha falls done in tones as soft as those of Indian summer. A winter landscape, features of which every Minnesotan will recognize as familiar, reproduces the green sky of dawn, and the purple of shadowed snow for once accurately. Ada Wolfe knows the art of mixing colors. She is a craftsman as well as an artist.

This is the test of the painter, of course. She is not modernist except in the insurgency of color.

AN ECONOMIST LOOKS AT AMERICA'S FUTURE The American Empire by Scott Nearlngr, Rand School of Social Science.

Originally the United States was a democracy. Today it is an empire, with the centralized authority, and the tendency toward militarism and territorial expansion which are the Inseparable adjuncts of imperialism. This is the thesis maintained in Scott Hearing's latest book, "Tho Amercan Empire," published by the Rand School of Social Science. It is a sober record of the events and an analysis of the forces that are rapidly undermining the social ideals and the political structure which characterized the American commonwealth in its early days. Mr.

Nearing shows theack of correspondence between the principles of Jeffersonian democracy and the economic and governmental tendencies now dominant in the United States.
