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. .

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 200 Ladies’ Newest Style Suits at Less Than Half Price.
