witty poem. asking Whittier how II
Z locked from that high ground. What
is there in the future that you see?'
And Whittier replied with a poem
stating that it was perfectly beauti-
lul from that point There was no
mere hill-climbins; it was all down
hill. very pleasant, and for him to
hurry to come up TO that point where
he could enjoy with him the age of so.
Il remember an anscdote of Victor
Hugo which was very interesting
When he reached the age of 20 he
said h was very much depressed. He
could scarcely write. and for 10 years
that followed him-that sense of de-
pression-but at so everything bright
ened and he became exceedingly inter
ested in all his work. and renewed it
He began to philosophize and to VOL
der what had happened, and what vas
the explanation OF this. and finally
concluded that at 30 he had reached
the old age of youth and at so the
youth of old age. l think l have eX.
perienced that very decidedly.
But after all the question has risen,
why we live to be CID; how can we
ince OF every one, but think with my
self it was hereditary: it was having
a gC-d father and mother. My mother
died at 81, AID l have sister at 81
new. With this hersdity we have led
me simple life. avoided everything
that tends to lower the vitality later
in life. One must do everything pos
sible to save the stock of vitality one
has-the stock in trade. You are born
with a certain amount and you can
use it up very early or you can pro-
long life very much longer than people
ordinarily do.
so | think that if We escape the
chlcrCformist of 60 that Osler has pro-
vided for us and can reach the age of
90. and are then careful with our
habits and our work, we can reach the
age OF so. where that old pessimist,
said il would be labor and
sorrow, which l did not find to be the
case. If we still continue to be care
ful of ourselves we can reach 80. and
from 80. by the grace of God. with
the last words of Irving on our lips, !
We can pass into Thy hands. o

ENGLAND accepts ITS
Taxes WITHOUT PROTEST
IN ORDINARY TIMES THEY
WOULD OVERTHROW
GOVERNMENT

Correspondence OF The Associated Prc,s)
LONDON, Nov. 2O.-England is ac-
coptiug its new burden of taxation
with a stoicism which could only he
bred of war conditions. In normal
times the announcement Of David
Lloyd-Goorgc's latest budget would
have caused storm that would have
ovcrthrOWn the strongest government.
But war changes all things and not
the least astonishing thing is the plan
seriously proposed by Arthur Hender-
son, labor leader in the house of
commons, and acquiesCod in by the
chancellor Of the eXCheQuer, that
working mems wages be taxed TO re-
place indirect taxes. such as the tea
and sugar duties, which now fall so
heavily and unoyenly on the working
class.
In his discussion of the beer tax.
Mr.. Lloyd George explained that retail
dealers would be authorized to charge
] cent more for each half pint of beer.
The additional tax on beer by barrels
is SAIL At the rate on ] cent for
each glass, the retailers would realize
$5.76 additional on each barrel OF
beer, leaving a margin Of sl65 to be
adjusted between brewers and pub
lie house Keepers.
Six cents a pound is the tax i'm
posed on tea to reach the tee-totallers
not affected by taxes on alcoholics
IN explanation Of this tax, Mr..
Lloyd George said taxes on mineral
waters and soda water would not have
reached tee-totallers, as whiskey
drinkers consume most Of the min
eral and soda water as well. Add
tional taxes on wines would have af-
fected adversely the income OF the al
lies and stirred up undesirable polit.
ical and diplomatic arguments.
Consequently tea was chosen as an
article which could bear the burden
without working particular hardships
on any one class of persons.
Most of the poorer families in
England buy their tea by the quarter
pound and the additional price dealers
will charge per quarter pound is a
matter Of much discussion. Some Of
ficials say the tax might as well have
been fixed at cents a pound, as
dealers inevitably will add cents to
the price Of each quarter pound.
II Is estimated by Mr.. Lloyd George
that between now and April Of next
year, the end Of the present fiscal
year the additional beer tax will pro-
duce s10.250,000, while the tea tax
will yield t4,150,000.
