the most seditious American of today, the people will pay
little heed to him. Neither will they listen when he says
the Republicans are conspiring to ruin the political future
of the administration. President Wilson, "the Democratic
party and no one else has the slightest reason to .complain

ADVERTISING OUR DUTY
; The Literary Digest tidies almost a page advertise
ment to urge the people not t lie about their income tax.
.It shouldn't, be necessary in these times to urge people
to do their plain duty, but the Literary Digest is showing
k ino patriotism in telling all citizens that their tax money
fs needed to carry the war and support our soldiers at
Ithe front. Now is the time of all times that we should
pay our taxes cheerfully.' ,
