INTEMPERATE SCHOLARS
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler regrets
that college professors, scientists and
literary men have been so exceedingly
zealous In the expression of their
views about the European war.
The New York Sun shares Dr. But
ler's regTet that these gentlemen have
“found tt impossible to resist the im
pulse to make conspicuous asses of
Ihemselves,'' commenting, en passant,
that their “fly gobbling and fire
belching have been most distressing.”
But while The Sun shares Dr. But
ler’s regrets It refuses to shure hts
surprise. Dr. Butler having for yetrs
dealt with “professional bigwigs of all
sorts,” The Sun Inquires If he has
found always among them In the
treatment of petty details jf their own
affairs disinterested detachment and
Intellectual calm that would lead him
to expect dispassionate consideration
of larger questions?
The truth Is, the educators of a na
tion are inclined to take themselves too
seriously and the people also tend to
the same mistake. Erudition is almost
as much of a fetish among Americans
ns the business brain. Blind submis
sion to whatever the business man
declares for Is the tendency of one
flock of sheep und complete rever
ence for the views and opinions of
scholars is the tendency ofanother. As I
a matter of fact, truth and Justice are
not so difficult to sift and balance
that It requires special training to dls- |
cover and adjust them. The mind that
honestly strives to preserve a sense !
of proportion and carefully avoids
fulling In love with an idea is gene
rally able to take a broad and Judl- j
cious view of a question, whether a 1
knowledge of Greek roots or a happy
knack for making money has given it I
distinction among others, or not.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. x
THE PATRIOTIC
DOLLAR
War Revenue Tax of $105,000,000
Levied—Beer Bears Brunt
of Burden.
Congress has levied a war tax
of $105,000,000.t0 offset a similar
amount of loss on import revenue
due to the European disturbances
and of this amount beer is the
heaviest contributor, having been
assessed approximately, $50,000,-
000; a stamp tax on negotiable
instruments, it is estimated, wilt
yield $31,000,000; a tax on the
capital stock of banks of $4,300,-
000, and a tax on tobacco, per-*
fumes, theater tickets, etc., makes
the remainder.
Congress has decreed that thd
brewer, the banker and the in
vestor must shoulder the musket
and march to the front; that mi»
lady who would add to her beau
ty must first tip Uncle Sam, and
a dollar that seeks pleasure must
first salute the flag; that Pleasure
and Profit—the twin heroes of
many wars—shall fight the na
tion’s battles and by an inge
niously arranged schedule of tax
ation Congress has shifted the
war budget from the shoulders
of Necessity to those of Choice
and Gain, touching in its various
ramifications almost every line
of business.
All hail the dollar that bleed#
for it* country; that bares its
breast to the fortunes of war and
risks its life to preserve the sta
bility and integrity of the nation’#
credit.
The market place has always
been a favorite stand for war rev
enue collectors. The trader i* a
great financial patriot. His dol
lar is the first to rally around the
star-spangled banner and the last
to hea/- the coo of the dove of
peace./ He is called upon to buy
cannon; to feed and clothe the
boys in blue and each month
cheer their hearts with the coin
of the realm. Men can neither be
free nor brave without food and
ammunition, and money is as im
portant a factor in war as blood.
Many monuments have been
erected in honor of heroes slain
in battle, poems have been writ
ten eulogizing their noble deed#
and the nation honors its soldier#
while they live and places a mon
ument upon their graves when
they die, but very little has been
said of the dollar that bears the
burdens of war.
Honor to the Dollar That Bears
the Burdens of War.
All honor to the dollar that an
swers the call to arms and, when
the battle is over, bandages the
wounds of stricken soldiers, lays
a wreath upon the graves of fall
en heroes and cares for the
widows and orphans.
All honor to the industries that
bend their backs under the burd
ens of war; lift the weight from
the shoulders of the poo# and
build a bulwark around the na
tion's credit.
AH honor to those who con
tribute to the necessities and ad
minister to the comforts of the
boys who are marching; cool the
fever of afflicted soldiers and
i kneel with the cross beside dyine
heroes. ®
A dollar may fight its compet
itor in business, industries may
struggle for supremacy in trade
and occupations may view each
other with envy or suspicion, hut
wh «» the bugle calls they bury
strife and rally around the flag
companions and friends, mess
mates and chums, all fighting for
one flag, one cause and one coun
try.
The luxuries in life have al
ways been tin* great burden-bear
ers m government. We will men
tion a few of them giving the
annual contributions to the na
tion’s treasury: Liquor, $250,i 1
000.000; tobacco, $103,000,000:
sugar, $54,000,000; silks, $15,500.-
000; diamonds, $3,837,000- mil
linery, $2,479,000; furs, $2,024,-
000 and automobiles $870,000.
. '[ he r ™> problem of the farmer
is how to sell his products.
A shoat in the pen is worth a
ten dollar bill in the pocket.
THE GURKHAS.
Among the rirltlsh relttforeementu
that have Joined the battle line of the
Allies have been mentioned the sturdy
Kurklias They are the ruling Hindu
rave in Nepal In northeastern India.
"They make splendid infantry sol
diers.'' says the Kneyclopaedla Britan
nloa, "and by agreement with their
government about 20,000 have been re
cruited for the Gurkha regiments of
ths Indian army. As a rule they are
bold, enduring, faithful, frank. Inde
pendent and self-reliant. They de
spise other Orientals, but admire and
fraternlae with Europeans, whoso
tastes in sport and war thev share
They strongly resemble the Japanese,
hut ate of a sturdier build. Their
national weapon Is the kukri, a heavy
curved knife, which they use for every
possible purpose.”* j
