Breaks Loose at New York's
Horse Show on the Evils of
Overdress
I TRADE TO VANDERBILTS
Opened Her Campaign on Them-Ad
vised Them to Dress More Modestly
Next Bore Down on a Party OF
Wine Drinkers-Finally Driven
Out by the Police.

New York, Nov. 20-Mrs. Carrie Nation
broke loose at the horse show this after
noon She harangucd the multitude on
the evils of overdress attempted to break
q hottie of champagne and finally was
elected from the building by the police.
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quietly
and took a seat In the tier. She had been
there only few minutes when her gaze
rested on the box where some of the Van
derhilt family were sitting. She studied
her programme and then descended to the
promenade. Stationing herself in front of
tho Vanderbilt box she delivered TRADE
on overdIess. IN the box were seated
Mrs. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Reginald Van
dcrbilt and Miss Nelson. Alfred G.. Van
dorbilt was leaning against the rail of
the promenade and did not see Mrs. Ma
ton approach.
You ought TO be ashamed of your
selves" the woman screamed at them.
You ought TO he ashamed to wear such
disfraceful clothes Take them off, take
them off at once and attire yourselves
more modestly."
Aired G.. Vanderbilt hastily left his
position at the rail and came over to
where Mrs. Nation was standing wipinG
her forehead with a handkerchief lie
whispered something in her ear and push
cd her away.
The outburst Of the woman attracted a
great crowd of people and the occupants
of the Vanderbilt box were evidently very
much embarrassed. Mrs. Nation then
turned her attention to other boxes.
Finally she started fer the cafe, where
She bore down on party of gentlemen
who were drinking wine. Mrs Nation
seized the bottle and glarins at the men
shouted:
Young men don't drink such filthy
stuff. You are going straight to hell.
Where is the man who sells this damnable
stuff. Show him to me until l tell him
what I think Of him"
Mrs. Nations request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance of NJ.
Nillepigue, the caterer at the garden.
Get out of this horrible business" she
shouted at him, you are also going to
hell and running the bodies and souls OF
men. You are dragging them down with
you. Shame on you, shame on you"
The Frenchman. however, pounCed upon
Mrs. Nation and rescued the bottle which
she had repeatedly brandished in the air
to emphasize her remarks The police
forced her out OF the building. AS Mrs.
Nations skirts disappeared, a couple Of
hundred men gathered in the lobby and
sang Good Morning. Carrie" and the
crowd took up the refrain.

WHAT OUR NElGHBORS SAY.
An Exposition OF Unjust Features OF
Vermont's State Road Tax.
N'rom the Enoshurgh StandardD

The action of the House of Representa-
t;vcs in passing House bill No. 2nj max
ms tho State highway tax 10 cents in
stead IF five, az under the present law,
may prove n blessing In disguise, as it
Will call the attention of the people
throughout the State of Vermont to the
marked change which seems to be going
on at the present time in the attempt of
the smaller towns to fost upon the State
con munistic doctrines relative to how the
burden of taxation should be borne.
The Fundamental principle which govern
ed all legislation in the early days of
Vermont was equal taxation" Tn
doubleday the law Of 1899, raising a five
per cont tax on the grand list of the
state, and distributing the same to the
several toYrs throughout the common
wealth, based on the mileage reported,
was intended to conserve the best inter-
eets of the people-it was the starting
point to improve highways, the idea be-
ms:
First to construct permanent roads
from the money distributed from this
fund,
Second, to relieve the small towns of
any excessive burden of taxation which
might obtain,
In reality, however the whole scheme
has miscarricd. and instead of being
FAX for permanent highway improvement
and assistance to the poorer towns, ii has
resolved itself into highway robbery"
The second biennial report of the State
highway commissioner gives a concise
and clear statement of the exact status of
this highway fund, the amount paid to
the fund by each town and amount re-
Cc!Vcd from the State In return.
We notice in the discussion preceding
the passage of this bill in the House. that

increase from five to 10 cents, laid great

Intense interest was manifested IN the
