Ripping Rhymes
1921
BY WALT MASON

1921.
We greet the New Year with a
smile, and say. Take off your things,
and come right in and stay awhile,
and feel at home, by jings; for brand
new years are quite in style, and
every joy bell rings" Men always are
sustained by hope, as down the road
they tread, and through the darkness
they may grope, they know there's
light ahead; they're strong on opti-
mistic dope, and say the past is dead.
This spirit always is on deck where
ever maen abound; it saves their
souls from CHASTITY wreck, and makes
the world go round; and so no clcaver
in the neck can silence or confound.
Old Twenty's weary course is run, so
let him disappear; we turn to Nine
teen-Twentyrone, and give a ringing
cheer; the new years blithe and full
of fun, the old ones on his bier. The
old years peters out and spent, and
now we hail the new, and every dame
and every gent enjoys a rosy view,
and every dream that's worth a cent,
is likely to come true. This world
would be dismal place, desert
drear and vast; if man should always
turn his face back to a troublous past.
if he should after sorrow chase and
groan and stand aghast. But human
beings do not turn to sad things and
forlorn; the ghosts of yesterday they
spurn, and laugh away with scorn;
the gods have taught them how to
yearn for bright days yet unborn.

Good Evening
BY Roy X. MouIton

We have watched our feeble little
joke about the man who saw his two
tons of coal delivered in a one-ton
truck toddle away about the country
and have marked its course through
the Boston papers and the Seattle pa
pers. This week we encountered it
in a western weekly. Invariably it ap-
pears without the support of credit
line 1t is strange how a sickly and
feeble gag like that can stand so much
travel. But it has been plugging along
so faithfully that we now have hopes
of seeing it limp back into New York
some day with a musical comedy writ
ten around it.
CHARLES THE MAGNIFICENT
Charles Ponzi, the Napoleon of fin
ance, who relieved fifteen or twenty
thousand Bostonese and many others
of their carefully boarded beans re-
Gently, will live two years in the house
of correction on Cape Cod. A descrip-
ton of his Jail is given as follows:
The Jail is veritable palace and
Ponzi will have his choice of ninety
eight vacant rooms. Every room is an
outside one and swept by the ocean
breeZes, as the house of correction
faces the sea. Steam heat, electric
lights, hot and cold water, bath, show
er, and a telephone. He may have
cigars and cigarets as he pleases. He
will not be called prisoner, but a
guest" He will serve as a chauffeur.
We would like to inquire of the
sheriff if any of the remaining ninety
seven apartments are still vacant.
Judging by the description, this apart
ment has something on our present
quarters, not only in price but in
accommodations.
On account of the prevailing styles,
the burlesque shows are suffering. Men
just naturally hate to buy tickets and
go in off the street for fear they will
miss something.
But why do they call that anti-cig-
aret campaign a crusade against
tobacco?
1t is time to give honest citizens the
means Of protecting themselves.

Answering the Appeal

The response of Richmond to the appeal for
S23, 0000 900 from the people of the United States
to help feed the starving children of Europe has
so far been generous one, and will abundantly
demonstrate our willingness to answer call for
assistance
The hearts of many were touched by the pic
ture of millions of little ones, starving and suf-
fering through no fault of their own, and des-
tined to succumb unless help came quickly and
abundantly. Every right thinking and
woman hopes that the full amount asked for by
Herbert Hoover will be obtained, and that mil
lions of Europeans will later recall with gratitude
what the people of the American republic did for
them when they were children.
Very few of us made a sacrifice to give a
mite toward the alienation of starvation among
the children of Europe. We gave from our sur
plus. None of us will have less to eat and to
wear, less shelter and fewer amusements a
result of the money which we gave. Hundreds
of little children however, will receive direct
benefit from our gifts 1t means life to them.
1t means that they will see spring next year.
They will rob the grave of its victims and be
enabled later to become producing units of our
civilization.
Many have been the appeals which America
has answered in the years that have gone by

No Time for More Taxes

Irrespective of the merits Of proposed meth
DDS of increasing federal taxes, the fact remains
that the people want reductions and readjust-
ments. Not only is the will of the people clear
on this point, but the economic situation as well
is protest against increases.
The proposal to increase surtaxes on personal
incomes is opposed by all students of taxation,
who assert that the present schedule is too high.
If the tax on stock and bond transactions is in
creased, the total number might be decreased to
such point that the federal treasury would re-
ceive very little income from this source Taxes
on produce exchange operation and real estate
transfers do not appeal to students of the prob
lem, who believe that they will impede the pro-
gram of reconstruction.
Taxes are high enough as they are. Congress
might profit by letting well enough alone in the
field of federal taxation and direct its at
tention to the application of economy in all our
governmental departments. Instead of devising
methods of increasing taxation, Congress should
adopt measures that will lop off unnecessary ex-
penditures. 1t may obtain more fruitful results
by this method than by trying to raise more
revenue to cover additional appropriations.

since the republic was founded. Our vast crops
have yielded a surplus which we have distributed
munificently whenever we have been called upon.
So far we have not been forced to ask other
nations to help us feed and clothe our population.
But we have no assurance that some day ma
tional calamity may not force us to send out an
appeal for succor. It is a gratifying thought to
entertain that we may then know that we have
never refused to help others who were in need,
and that millions will feel duty bound to recipro
cate for kindnesses received by them in their
dark days.
