ONE philosopher says it is the ex-
perience of every man that he WIS
born too soon. Looking backward he
can see that in a comparative serse
his life was crude. The world pro-
crosses so rapidly and life so swiftly
acquires new complexities that the
old 10y is inclined to feel he didn't
have a fair chance.
NOWADAYS the new generation
begins where the old left off. the old
boy complains, bu- he should find
consolation in the thought that it has
been ever thus. If not In that, then
in the reflection that in the end no

Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Without
mentioning any names, there is on
the market a certain grade of auto
mobile concerning which great many
rude jokes are cracked, and 10 which
owners of more expensive autos-the
very ones who crack most of the
jokes-Owe a large debt of gratitude.
For IL it were not for this auto-one
can easily find out the name by con-
sulting the advertising columns or by
asking somebody - all automobile
owners would today be paying a big
war tax. And those who ride in high
horse powered machines and crack
the jokes about this lower-priced car
would be paying more war tax than
anybody else.
Two members of the senate sub
committee which had much to do
with the war tax measure were John
Sharp Williams and Benjamin Shive-
~. Sen. Williamss state of Missis-
sippi uses fewer autos than any other
in the Union, unless il is Nevada. And
Shively comes from the we'll known
state of Indiana, which, besides books,
produces more autos than any state
except Michigan. Naturally Williams
and Shively had a different point of
view about the eXpediency of taxing
automobiles
Williams and Shively were discuss
ing the proposition in a senate cloak
room, one afternoon and John Kern,
also from Indiana, paused TO make
comment which settled the contro-
versy in Shivelys favor
You dassent tax autos at ALL" de-
clared Kern. Because there's one
kind of auto that's too numerous"
and he mentioned the name of ii.
If you tax autos you will make too
many enemies for the democratic
party You'd better tax things that
are less common - like potatoes or
eggs
