REGISTER TOMORROW. Voters must remember that tomorrow 1 the first of the registration clays and that it la the duty ot every man and woman to register before they can vote and thoy should remember that it is useless to confess the slightest Interest in politics and the welfare of the country unless they vote their convictions. Men and women, no matter how long they have lived in the precinct, are required to register for if they do not. they will be deprived of the right to cast their votes at the coming fall elction. Voters should make it a point to register and thus be la a position to cast their votes for the party of their choice In the presidential state and general election this (all.

think, of the Immortal Lafayette more as their own than as a Frenchman who performed noble service fur this country. And we now know, though "on that fateful day in 1914 our interest was merely that of a curious spectator, that in the Valley of the Marne we as well as France were victorious when the Hun was stopped in his first drive on Paris. In churches, schools and public places let us pay tribute to the man who with Washington paved the way to liberty for cur country when the American cdoniets were enmeshed in turmoil and revolution. Lafayette's devotion to our cause, his unceasing effort and personal sacrifice, are typical of the spirit of France today. Let us voice our appreciation if one of her most glorious songs. As Lafayette's birthday falls nn labor day this year, which is a happy coincidence for (he thousands who hold his memory in grateful admiration, this year, above all others, there will be an opportunity for them to make a public demonstration of their gratitude and rat riot ism.

IS YOUR COAL CH Tnsre Is every evidence that the coal question is gelng to be extremely serious this winter. Europe has been yelling for our coal and getting it. Whether or r.ct we are breaking the heart of the world we shall have done more than our share to keep Europe warm this winter. It will be too bad If householders neglect the coal question. Here the supply Itself Is limited and the price great. It does seem that every man with a family, with wife snd little ones to keep warm during the winter, should already be astir to place their comfort beyond any contingency. It will be a sad thing next December or January to see the youngsters shivering around, because daddy had been down town talking a heap, smoking cigarets and forgetting the coal pile. That situation might now be anticipated and -some littie care and caution attempted to prevent it. A good -coal pile makes a happy winter.

WHAT THE PEOPLE PAY. Th price which the individual citizen and the individual business-house or manufacturing concern is forced to pay, because of the colossal extravagance of the Wilscn administration during the war, 1"? clearly irdicated in the income tax and excess profits tax statistics which have recently been issued by the Bureau of Interna! Revenue. The revenues received from these two forms of taxation, which are required by the debts and operating expenses of our swollen governmental structure, amounted to three and one-half biilion dollars during the fiscal year just closed. This figure Is nearly $1,250,000,000 larger than colectlons from the same sources in either of the proceeding years.

LAFAYETTE LAY. There Is beautiful sentiment in the custom born of the war, and which seems likely to be continued, of ceiebratlag American and French national holidays Jointly In both countries. It Is a fine token of friendship for America to observe Bastile Day, no less than for France to celebrate the day of our independence. But there Is one day in the celebration of which both nations can Join unreservedly and whole-heartedly with no deference to the other. September 6, anniversary of the birth of Lafayette and of the first battle of the Marne, is a natal day In the life of America aa w-H as in that of France. Americans will always

AS TO ''UNFITNESS.'1 . One of the siliest arguments so far advanced against Senator Harding and his candidacy for president was put forth by a New York newspaper of the Democratic persuasion, which solemnly asserted he had, on the floor of the senate, acknowledged his unfitness to be chief executive of the United Slates. iThis was characteristically modest of the man, and instead of being used against him is really a point in bis favor. There Is nothing of the egotist about Senator Harding. A correspondent of the New York Evening Sun, alluding to the silly charge, draws attention to the fact that Lincoln held the same modest view abcut himself. In McClure's "'Lincoln and Man of War Times'' may be found the following: "In 1S59. after ho (Lincoln) had attained national reputation by his joint discussion with Douglas in the contest fcr senator. Mr. Fickett, the editor of an Illinois Republican journal, wrote to him urging that he should permit the U5e of his name for president. To this he answered: 'I mast in candor say I do not think myeelf fit for the presidency. I certainly am flattered and gratified that some partial friends think of me In that connection, but I really think it best for our cause that no concerted effort, such as you suggest, should be made.' " After eight years of Wood row Wilson it will be really refreshing to have a modest man in the White House.

A C0XTAIL?

The New York Tribune accuses Cox of trying to carry water on both shoulders. ; Whatsa matter, Trib? In view of a certain understanding which Cox is supposed to have had with Tammany, Taggart. Brennan and Nugent, we were under the impression that on one shoulder he was carrying well, not exactly water.

EITGEN V. DEBS, who 13 also running for president, has delivered his first speech. Mr. Debs is conducting a side window campaign.
