The war revenue bill as now framed. saul Senator l-a Follette. in his minority rejsirt last Friday "favors the rich and grinds the poor." 'pn.ling the estimate uutde by Seeretary McAdoo that government exIM'lldlt lires in 1910 Would be $1X.U00,' on. the Wisconsin senator d?*clared that more than the $0,000,000,000 total of the bill should be raised by taxation. The argument that the war is over and taxes consequently should be decreased has little or no weight, lie said, win n applied to the taxes on incomes and war-excess profits. The bill as now constituted, he said, will take by taxation only $2,400,000,000 of the five billion dollar profits made bv cnri>urnlions through the war. 01 Is |>?*r cent, "although it has Ims-ii widely heralded through the country . as a lull which will levy an k0 percent tax on war profits." The principal that should guide us in framing this bill," the re|?>rl siid. "Is that no man should >>e allowed to retain a dollar of profits made out of this war when thousands of our people have called upon fo give everything, including their lives, for its prosecution, and millions must suffer great hardship on account of it. and generations must sweat and toil to pay its cost. It is intolerable that a favored few should be allowed to amass great fortum>s by reason of this war." Senator l?(Follette concurred in the Republican minority finance committee v report opposing fixing of the rates of taxation in 11)20 at this time. --TfjemobilUattrfn of the military forces at home Is gaining in momentum. tleneral March, chief of staff, announced Saturday with approximately half of the 1.700.000 men in the home enmps on November 11 specifically designated tor early discharges. iteports of the war department, General March said, indieate a rate of dis- 1 charge of about 15,000 men a day which will he tlouhled when deinobili /ation is in full progress.

Details of America's enormous ( preparations" to overwhelm the German armies with jioison gas were ! made public last Sat unlay by tin- New s York section of the American Chetni- ? cal society. Military authorities and engineering chemists, it was stated '* had expressed the belief that Gel- ' many's knowledge of these prepara- i tions had been an important factor in ( causing her to seek an armistice. Asserting that in May. 1917. the. produc- ' tion of gas masks was started by a s' gtxni|i of hve volunteers: Colonel ( Hradley Dewey, commanding officer of the gas defense, declared that up to the time the truce was signed, then- ' n.ui tHfii proa u ecu s.vvv.vw musns, v 3.000.000 extra canisters. 500,000 horse , masks ami large quantities of nius- . tard ,r.is suits. glous. ointments ami antidotes. The production of gas ' masks when liostilities ceased, he s added, had reached 40.000 a day. The . ISM9 model, he said, showed a revolution in deslirn overcoming: all disconiPuts of earlier patterns and added 10fold efficiency. Colonel William H. Walker, commanding the Rdgvwood arsenal. said that on November 11 "we had all the facilities for produo- i Ing mustard gas at the rate of 100 | tons a day. to say nothing of our re- sources for deluging our enemies with chloride, phosgene chlorpicrin .and ' new vapors previously unknown to t them." He added "that there was ( never a day when the prod action of material did not exceed the ability to ' utilize it" and paid tribute to chem- I Ists who had braved the dangers of ji poison plants far from the clamor of the real luittlefleld. and who in some cases had made the *unrcmc ( sacrifice. 1 ? President Wilson and party arrived 1 at Brest. France, last Friday and pro- s ceeded at once to Paris. French and 4 Americans met the party at Brest and the people turned out by hundreds of ' thousands, the American sailors tilling s the rigging of the ships and the sol- s dlers covering the warehouses and lin- * ing the streets for miles. At Paris it J seemed that half the population turned f out and with hundreds of thousands of j people from the surrounding districts. ^ The demonstration was even more enthusiastic than that which followed the ' signing of the armistice Thousands c and thousands of the picked troops of j France were on hand as a guard of honor, and though it was necessary for 11 them to press back the throngs of poo- s pie who wanted to get a clear view of i the president and his wife, as well as x other members of the party, it was done with gentleness everywhere. r There was singing, dancing, throwing s of confetti and other manifestations of c unrestrained Joy. The Place de La Concorde was turned into a great dancIng pavilion, where soldiers of the Al- c lied nations Joined In the dance and j where Americans were the choice of partners. In two speeches on Satur lay President Wilson reaffirmed that ho making of peace and creation of a ague of nations must be aecompllsh;d as one single objective. Responding :o the welcome of President Poincare :o the luncheon given in his honor, L President Wilson declared that winilng the war was not alone enough, 1 !>ut that the people of the United states had entered it with the object of making the peace a permanent peace J for the world Responding to the greeting of the Socialist delegation, the president reiterated that the war had * )een a people's war and that the defeat A military autocracy was not sufficient to the fulfilling of its object.

If the farmers hold, the price will surely come before a great while. When court trials become more a matter of evidence and less a matter of testimony, the quality uf Justice they dis|iense will be very much improved. There is too much tendency now-adays to seek the establishment of alleged facts l?y means of preponderance of tlie testimony, under an assumption that "preponderance" is a mutter of quantity rather than quality. Of course the reform in this particular rests with the juries. They have nothing to do with the inception of the abuses that ire practiced along this line: but they ran have a great deal to do with the orrection of those abuses. And after ill there can be no gr?ater safeguard to life, property and the pursuit of Itappiness than honest dealing in the courthouse. Commissioner A. C. Summers of the state department of agriculture, evi- < iently has some understanding of things. In the report he prepares for Ihe general assembly, he says that fol- t lowing the upsetting of labor condi- j ions in the south, through the unpre- p ;edcnted wages paid to artisans and t ominon labor at the training camps, r 'it was particularly cruel and un)ust t :hat at this moment the government H should have been hoodwinked by de- c signing persons who sought to manipilate the cotton market for personal speculation and private aggrnndizenent."

Except for the fact that the negroes, lam Johnson and John Young, recentr committed to jail for attempted asuult. had been spirited away to places f safety, there would probably have een very serious trouble at the county ail lost Thursday night. A masked mob of forty or fifty men howed up at the Jail shortly after aidnight und asked for "that nigger." t is presumed that John Young, who iad been committed to Jail during the >revious day for an attempted asauult t Ebenezer, was the "nigger" wanted; ut John Young was not there. Sheriff Quinn had received straight ntimation during the day previous hat there was to be a visit from a mob hat night, and he did what he thought rus best under the circumstances, had he negro transferred to a place of afety. The other negro, Sam Johnson, rom Fort Mill, had already been movd from the Jail, and so far aB that iart of it was concerned, there was lOthing for the mob to get. Although he had been warned of the pproaching visit, the shet?? was sleep when the mob came. Yl and lis brother, Deputy J. T. Quinn, had raited until along about midnight. )eputy SherifT Quinn had been sick for ome days with something like the flu, f not the flu Itself. He was still feeing very uncomfortable. The mob havng failed to show up by midnight, the heriff und deputy concluded that inormation of the spiriting away of the risoners had probably gotten out and hat the threatened raid had been bandoned. So both went to sleep. Shortly after midnight. Deputy Shert J. T. Quinn, who had not undressed, eard the noise of automobiles on the utslde, and at once comprehending he situation, awakened the sheriff. When the deputy reached the front e found a crowd of men ascending he stairway leading to the third floor f the Jail where the steel cells are loateit Ho Intereptjted the intruders nd commanded them to retire to the treet. They said they wanted "that igger," and when the sheriff informed item that the negro was gone, they aid they would see. The sheriff told Hem that one or two of them could go p, but not all, and that was agreed to. wo men accompanied the sheriff in n inspection of the steel cells, and nding nothing went back down stairs. One of the members of the mob who ad gone upstairs stopped at the secnd floor landing and asked what was Here. Deputy Tom Quinn quietly adised that the second floor was being sed as a private residence, and nothig more was said. The search was not at all thorough. That# negro" and others might easily ave been hidden about by the dozen, 'ithout having been discovered by itch a search. The superficial nature f the search, however, is not to be iken as any reflection on the sincerity r determination of the mob. It is tore a tribute to the well known charcter of the sheriff. When he said the egro was not there, those who heard im say it knew it was true, and the How they made of seeing for themslves, was only for the purpose of satifying possible doubters. Anyhow the whole thing was over in very short time. There was no liquor i evidence and no loud or boisterous ilk. The mob was quiet and orderly, nd the sheriff and deputy were cool nd collected.
