NEITHER FAIR NOR CLEVER

a SENSE OF FAIRNESS would have served
L \ almost as well as genius for statesman
ship in saving the republican ma jority in con-
gress from the difficulties with which they are
confronted in finding means of reducing tax
alton without at the same time lmpalrlng
revenues. Had they co-operated with the last
democratic congress in anticipating some of the
problems that were fOreSeen as consequence
of the war, they would have escaped at once
the duty of formulating and passing this legls-
lation and the responsibility for it's failure, If 1t
proved inadequate or unwise. They would have
begun the work of the extra session with at
least temporary relief from fiscal burdens and
would have had time and opportunity to devise
and enact suitable measures
But republican leaders in the senate-and
they controlled also the leadership of the house
of representatives-delib planned and
executed the defeat of the democratic bills
which contemplated abolition of the so-caled
luxury taxes, though this involved breach Of
faith with their democratic associates This de-
feat was accomplished by flibuster in the clos
ing days of the last congress-
A spirit of fairness would have restrained
these republican partisans from seeking polite
al advantage in any question so important as
that of the country's finances. A regard for
their word-plighted in behalf of the prompt
passage of the repeal of the luxury taxes
would have profited them and the government
But having refused to be fair, they were unable
to be clever
These leaders now find themselves in
quandary. They have let appropriations out
run income by some two billions of dollars, and
if the luxury taxes are repealed and no equally
productive sources of revenue are provided this
excess of expeditures over receipts will grow
larger. They sought credit for repeating these
excises in the extra session, and this design
prompted them to prevent their abolition by
the democrats in the regular session. They
hoped to acquire chance for glory. They
have inherited only cause of embarrassment.

The Ardmorete is pleased to note that its
recent suggestion of rest room for the women
and children of the farming communities around
this city has borne early fruit. Through the CO.
operation of the Rotary and Lions clubs the big
room set aside long ago in the county court
house and never popularized is being furnished
for that good purpose. The courthouse is CEN
traly located and the rest room should appeal
to farmers families Everybody should coop
crate in the business of making the farm people
acquainted with the quarters provided for them.
The room should become the meeting place of
many families who already know each other or
ought to know each other, and thereby it should
serve to cement and foster neighborliness. 1t
will be free to all who care to take advantage
of its accommodation.

Neil came home. He drew in his
breath in a long whistle when he saw
me.

made of silvery mOonbeams, and kiss

box he gave me.
"Here-I1l fasten them on for you,
then I must hustle Just what you
needed with that gown"
They really were. I flushed with
happiness and pleasure. What a dear
boy Neil was! l was sure there were
few like him.
He threw himself in a chair, and
kicked off his shoes in a way he had,
and that always amused me. For the
first time that day had a good look
at his face He looked tired.
! "You are overworking. There are
lines about your eyes. I don't like to
see them. I'll kiss them away"
Abruptly he said:
Pm all right! l hate being made a
fuss over Send Tonko to me-"
1t was equivalent to dismissal. But
l would not be offended. He was SEN
sitive about his looks. l should not
have mentioned that he had lines about

hostess; and 1 heard NeiPs breath
whistle between his teeth as she came
forward to greet us. She wore sling
ing robe of black paillettes whose
shimmering scales wrapped her in
blistening blackness, revealing every
movement of her svelte body, while be-
ing almost puritanical in it's plainness.
Not jewel did she wear, although
hers were famous. Her dark hair was
drawn smoothly back and banded low
on her forehead with a simple jet
band. Even her hands were ringless.

lovely gown; it looked almost garish,

There were three other guests. A
young lady-Miss Marie Wilson-an in
sipid sort of girl, in pale blue, and
two men. Both men of personality.
One of them in particular attracted me-
His eyes were cold as china and as
blue. His hair was iron gray and
thrown back from his forehead in a
tumbled mass. One almost wondered
if he combed it only with his fingers.
He was about medium height, but so
we'll built that he looked almost tall

In talking of him afterward, Neil
said:

WAY COLDS ARE DANGER
GUS

You are often told to beware
of a cold," but why? We will
tell you: Every cold weakens
the lungs, LAYERS the vitality and
paves the way for a more seri-
GUS disease. People who contract
pneumonia first take cold The
longer cold hangs 1.-THE great
er the danger. especially from
the germ diseases, as cold pre-
pares the system for the recep-
ton and development of the germs
of consumption. diptheria, scarlet
fever and whooping cough. The
quicker you get rid of your cold,
the less the danger of contract
ing one of the diseases. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as a cure for
colds and can be depended upon.
1t is pleasant to take.

HOME TOWN FEELING.

Some people play lone hand.
They do not form much attach |
ment to the place where they
live, and do not particularly re-
greet leaving it if they have to
move. And no one weeps any
tears when they pack up aud go.
They respond TO no calls for CO.
operation. And no one feels any
particular desire to help them
along. The community gains
little from their presence. And
town made up of that kind of
people is dead one.
There are those who feel an
intense loyalty to their home
town and all the people living
there. to all It's undertakings and
enterprises. 1t is partly senti-
mental affection, partly a keen
sense of the practical business
value of cooperation and team
work. Mt. Vernon has a lot of
these folks. Its progress is due
to them. They feel a cordial
Interest in all our townspeople
You can depend upon their heart,
support for any community pro
ject. Every local enterprise has
their backing. In so far as that
idea prevails the town will real
ize it's Possibilities.
When this spirit exists. it is
a genuine pleasure to give pre-
ference in all business dealings
and purchase of material, to any
thing that comes from the home
town. If a suit oil clothes sold
here is just as good for the same
money, always buy It. One
might well buy it, even if it wa:
little inferior. But thanks to
our splendid stocked stores. thai
sacrifice is rarely necessary. Il
Is po.r community spirit and de-
fcient team work to buy stuff
ont Of toup t,ploSS Ua know from
