But did anything helpful or practical
come out Of the conference This

A TRAIT HUMANS HAVE

1t is difficult to understand the men
tai deductions Of fisherman who vii
attempt to beat the state out OF the
price of a G0-cent license and in doing
SO take the chances of being caught
and fined S25 to $5O.-Benningtor
Banner.
Not SO difficult to understand when
viewed from the proper angle. The
fellow who goes out and breaks the
game law is only one Of type, un-
happily becoming more numerous.
He sees all around him contempt Of
law and authority.
He sees countless infringements and
attractions of ordinances and statutes,
and cannot understand why he cannot
do the acknowledgements Vermonter.
Oh no, we don't agree, at all. Rath-
er, it is an inbofn human idea of being
as tiny as one can in small matters.
IT is that same impulse that makes
man fret and fume and fight over
putting that extra stamp on a letter
that he knows needs it, while, min
ute after. that same man waltzes up
10 a bar and buys without a whimper
a couple of beers each for a couple OF
dozen of his friends. 1t is the same
idea that makes a man smile the smile
Of sunny JIM" and feel as though
his rich uncle had just died, when ne
stealthily slides the nickel into his
pocket after the street car conductor
has passed him by unnoticed, and that
same "Sunny Jim" is probably on his
way down town to spend two and one I
half bucks" for a pew in the orches-
ira. 1t is the same idea tn at makes a
man leave in disgust the uptown drug /
store (which is two doors from has
lome) where they charge him 70
,ents for Colgates, and "hop a car"
or the down town "cut-rate" where
le can buy Colgates for % cents and
mend 10 cents carfare all the same
low. Il is the same idea that gives a
nan "inside" JOY when he finds that
ie has paid for three cigars and re-
eived six and makes him hurry from
he shop, for fear the clerk will dis
over the mistake, and jump into
axi for which he is paying dollar
er hour, more or less. That same
ian who lodges his 60-cent license
'ould pay his 50-dollars fnw with a
rim.
II isn't contempt of authority or
nything else. 1t is that paramount
assion to be petty in things petty, to !
" and land something for nothing"
0 matter what il costs to land il. And !
lost of us are built that way. 1t is {
ne of the most human traits Of the {
lman.

In the presence of this burdensome

words Of Representative Cox of Indi-

Fitzgerald of New York, he asked:

enormous appropriations are not stop
ped in some way, does not the gentle
man believe that in the course Of a
short time the Government will have
10 come TO a system of direct taxation,
such as it had in 1861 to carry on the
war ?" Democracy surely received
timely warning.
