One hundred and forty-two years pass—a brief time in the ken of universal history—and the little strip of thinly populated territory that revolted against King George has become tne mightiest political and economic fact under the sun, a power in comparison with which imperial Rom# was a pygmy, a power that could have crushed Rome as a giant might crush an eggshell.

The Tribune believes fn supporting the administration through thick and thin, but if things sartorial surge too far in the direction indicated by the news from Washington we shall paint the glory of what was in the days of the early bicycle craxe and advocate' "knicks."

INCOME TAX PAYERS.

Thtngs hare changed considerably since 1916, and the analysis of incometax returns for that year showing what occupations paid the ta^c has less practical interest than it would had not the war intervened to unsettle business and make new tax laws.

Still, there are interesting fbcts In the report. We learn, without surprise, that the teachers stand next to the bottom of the list in the percentage of persons paying the tax. Mighty few teachers receive salaries of $3,000 and upward. But in the next notoh above the teachers come the actors, and their proportion of income taxpayers la little higher.

Are the aotors, being more or leas nomadic, able to dodge the tax gatherer more successfully than most people, or is one to conclude that the theatrical press agent is as untrustworthy as the press humorist says he is? Anyway, only about one actor in 200 paid an income tax, while one broker in every Ave reported a tapcable income. Is it any wonder that chorus girls who earn their daily bread with the actors eat it, with lobster and champagne on the side, in company with the brokers?

At the very uttermost other end from the brokers are the farmers. About one in 400 of them paid the tax, but then the farmer does not return what the farm supplies directly to his home. He is not so badly off as the returns indicate.

Other interesting facts are that lawyers and judges are nearly as well supplied with money as brokers, while doctors are in about the middle or the list, being next-door neighbors to the editors. Commercial travelers make more than merchants, and saloonkeepers a little more than preachers. Finally there are public employes. They are the people who are supposed to be fattening on public generosity, hut the fact is that but three classes are below then®''"

WRITE YOUR BOY.

Robert Perkins, of Terre Haute, who is up near the French front somewhere, in a letter to the Tribune, says if the people here at home knew how the soldiers relished letters from "back in the states," they would keep a Constant stream of cheerful notes going in that direction. He says the Frenoh soldier and the British soldier look forward to a furlough home, which the Yankee cannot hope to get. .. "Our soldiers cannot come home for such visits!,** nays Mr. Perkins, "but we can take the American home to therti." The lack of shipping space has made it necessary to shut down on the sending of parcels, except where specifically authorized by commanding officers, but there is no limit on letters. He continues: u, "Those ""fetters tib'tne refcrtlarfy and frequently and leave no gaps in home history. And this serial story of the home lifts should M- illustrated with plenty of snapshots^ News and frequent pictures of the children are peculiarly important. Those at home see the children daily. But from a distance of 3,000 miles and in a war environment It is difficult to imagine a 2-year-old as a 3-year-old child, or to make a satisfactory mental picture of how a child left in curls and rompers looks as a real boy, with hair cut short and sticking his hands in his first pants' pockets.**

Such homa' news keeps brother, father, uncle or cousin buoyed up and in fine fighting spirit. Send him the neighborhood news, also, and the cheerful tidings about people he knows. Do not write depressing letters or dwell upon your troubles. He has enough of his own. Eminent specialists say the soldier who is worrying is more susceptible to shell shock than those who are not. The most natural thing for the soldier to worry about is conditions at home, and the only way he can learn of them Is through indiscreet letters.

The moral is, write your boy in

SOMETHING SAVED.

There has been much speculation as to what can be done to raise the millions of tons of ships sunk by the U-boats, but there has been little encouragement from the experts.

#They

point out that no method has been discovered by which ships can be raised from any but very moderate depths, and that the methods suggested would coat more than the salved ships would ba worth. Moreover, ships at no very great depth would be crushel by water pressure, if air spaces remained in thertt.

But many ships 'have found their wav» to shallow water before they went down, and these are valuable assets against Germany at this time, for even with the U-boats hovering near they can and have been raised and set to work again.

Figures gi^eti 6tft fft I*Wtdott show that since the war began 407 ships sunk by submarines have been raised, and of this number 147 were salved in the present year. This is an Item which has not appeared in discussions of U-boat effectiveness. No figures as to the tonnage salved are available, but it would not be surprising to learn that these operations restored a

mil

lion tons to the carrying power of the allies.

Young Richard Folsom Cleveland, son of Grover Cleveland, celebrated the close of his junior year at Princeton by enlisting in the marine corps. Young Richard enters the service backed by a good na nae and a fighting sire,

The British are going to celebrate July 4 today by "thanking God for the United States." After this war there is going to be an international Independence day, which everybody but Huns wifl celebrate.

One of the things that wonld be Inexplicable if it wasn't German is the spectacle of Germany appealing to international law to justify its criticisn\ of our handling of the Von Rintelen case.

If Mr. Rosner attends to business, he will get a, good story about what the kaiser said when he put the uniform he intended to wear in Paris back, among the moth balls.

International Typographical ttaion Issues Pamphlet Showing labor's Help In Fight*

INDIANAPOLIS, July 4.—Marsden G. Scott, president of the International Typographical Union of the United States and Canada, has sent out to the various subordinate unions a booklet containing some interesting facts and figures showing how vitally and thoroughly concerned it is in the prosecution of the war against the Hun.

Up to June 15, 4.081 journeymen and 655 apprentice members of the I. T. U. were enrolled in the military establishments of the United States and Canada.

Seventy-five members have fallen in battle in France or have died in military camps in America.

Benefits Paid Out

T© the widows, orphans, fathers, mothers, or other relatives of these men, the International Typographical Union has paid mortuary benefits amounting to $22,350.

During the past twelve months it has' paid $354,000 to 1,500 old age pensioners, and in the srfme period has paid mortuary benefits amounting to $312,* 400.

This body of workers as ah organisation has invested $30,000 in each of the three Liberty loans, $90,000 in all, while subordinate organizations ahd individual members have subscribed to more than $3,000,000 in these securities.

The strike expenses for the past twelve months were but $1,237, which emphasizes the spirit of good will and co-operation existing between employers and employes in the printing industry, and reflecting determination to give full patriotic support t4o the government.

No Strikes, Motto.

Th* officers of the I. T. U. are volunteers in the Army for the Preservation of Industrial Peace for the duration of the war, at least, and will do their best to give full effect to the earnest recommendations made by President Wilson in his proclamation creating the National War Tjabor Board.

The Typographical Union neither solicits nor accepts contributions to its benefit, funds. Every dollar expended for these purposes is paid by members of the organization in the form of regular

(dues

and assessments.

Lcci! Typographical fnfort. Ve. 76, have fourteen members and five apprentice members in the army. The local also has $600 worth of Liberty Loan bonds and as a union it is giving loyal support to all patriotic movements. i

TO GIVE CONCERTS,

Arrangernsnta Made for Programs At Collett Park. The park board and the Chamber of Commerce have completed arrangement's for band concerts to be held at Collett park every Sunday evening for the next ten Sundays. Community sings, under the direction of George S. Wyckoff. will be held in connection with the concerts.

The concerts will commence at 7 o'clock and will consist^of patriotic selections by the band and the vocal numbers. The accompaniment for the singing will be provided by a piano. It is probable the traction company will pay part of the expense of the concerts and that the remainder will be paid by the park board and the Chamber of Commerce.

Back the Government to the Limit

The Government has asked American business to pursue a certain course for the duration of the war. ...

Keep quality up and prices reasonable, —a strictly non-profiteering policy. It is the only patriotic policy.* It is the policy this company has always adopted and the one we will continue to pursue.?

We Stand ready to undergo any sacrifice in order to cooperate with the Government. We believe it is best for ourselves.

We know it is best for our country.,

We appeal to all concerns—big and small —to adopt the same policy. American business must rally as a unit to the support of the Government.

It is the surest and the quickest way to win the war
