"Fifth Monarchy Men,"

The Fifth Monarchy Men" were
an extreme sect in England Of the
period of the Puritan revolution,
largely found in the army which sup
ported Cromwell, in the belief that his
government was the beginning Of the
Fifth Monarchy" during which the
millennial reign of Christ on earth
would take place. The previous four
monarchies were the Assyrian, Per-
sian, Grecian and Roman. But such
fanatics could not but be in opposi-
ton to any established government,
and Cromwell had some difficulties
with them. In 1861 the revolt Of Ven
ner was largely supported by this sect.

The check upon the spending habit
which the nation INDUCED in during the
period of the war is now nearly COM
plete The period of initiation may
have made a few individuals, but it did
not make the nation, the state and the
smaller units of municipalities rich.
From all public treasures comes the
same complaint - empty, overdrawn.
The years taxes are not going to be
enough to pay the deficit and for the
plans of Improvement worked out dur
ing the initiation period. Complaints
about high taxes now are general. The
war debt, the new building plans for
war purposes, the expansion in the
field of education, the large program
of road building, municipal enterprises
of all sorts, health campaigns, refor-
estation, national inland waterways
systems, all these and many other i'm
portant and pressing needs are calling
for large expenditures of the peoples
money. Now, it is certain that we can
not have these things unless we pay
for them, and we pay by taxes. It is
also certain that it is no use to howl
about high taxes while we clamor for
increased spending of public money.
The check must begin at the spending
end, if relief is to be felt in taxes. The
promoter who talks big and rolls up
roseate vistas of easy money and quick
returns would be welcome, if we could
make ourselves believe him, but we
don't any more. The public is realiz-
ing that these are times when long and
carefully made plans and slow execu-
ton are needed. The problem is what
we may be able to get along without,
rather, than what We might like to
have. If in our plans we think in terms
of decades, rather than in terms of
years, in putting our plans through, we
may realize our hopes without an ex-
cessive economic strain. The prudent
will do so because they know what is
wise, and are wise enough to act with
prudence. Long plans, slow execu-
tiop.

1T IS strange how passion will blind
both the individual and the group.
France is still afraid of Germany; it
knows that for the present Germany is
down and out as military power, but
it also knows that if Germany is per-
mitted to reduperate economically, no
one can tell what it may become mill
tarily. France is bound to make her
revenge for the lasts and past wars as
complete as possible, and In no other
way can it be done SO completely as by
draining Germany bone dry as an econ
omic rival. France is IN hurry to do
it; she wants TO collect at once, and
has moved an army into German inland
port cities to start the collection. Eng
land an Italy are indulgent with the
impetuosity of the French statesmen,
and have given their sanction to the
use of military demonstration against
Germany not because they believe
that this is the way to solve the prob
lem, but because Lloyd George and his
astute friends think that it the best
way to cure France of her mistaken
policy, and by her failure bring her to
her senses. The French nation is, per-
haps, the nation in Europe which has
greater faith in military power than
any other, Germany not excepted.
England, on the other hand, believes in
the wisdom of the trade. She is
shrewd bargainer, trained and sue
cessful shop keeper. She will collect
from Germany, but in business way.
She can fight, but not for empty con-
quest; in the wake of her guns are the
merchants smiling, ready to open trade
with the enemy as soon as the last
shot is fired. She wants an enemy that
is economically able to buy her goods.
A down and out enemy economically is
horror to the Eng lish mind. In poll
tics, in war, in diplv ,acy, in business
the English nation. acts without pas
sion, with the heart beating normally,
with the head clear, with shrewd out
look for advantage, not over scrupulous
about the results to the opponent, ex-
cept that ne is left in condition to be
of economic value to English business.
England has stacked her cards on the
proposition that Germany will not turn
''red" under the French military occu-
patton; that France will eventually cool
down and acknowledge her mistake and
give England the chance to make the
final settlement with the German ma
ton.

The United States is called The
Melting Pot The name is fitting
enough if we think of the process that
is going on in this country of reducing
many different elements into one new
unit The pot is here. and the process
is in constant operation. The United
States can not be any thing else the
natural and orderly function of this
country is to be melting pot. If left
alone, if not meddled with by impatient
and foolish and self-appointed tenders
the pot will do its service, and the re-
suits will be satisfactory.
If by the Melting Pot we think of the
United States as a reservoir into which
incongruous, unreliable, and insoluble
elements are thrust, and where the chief
characteristic is the boiling and bub-
ling, and not the melting process taking
place, the name is not fitting. For the
facts are that the melting is taking
place to such an extent that the United
States today, in spite of what many
people think and say is one of the po-
tentially most homogeneous nations in
the world.
Compared to Europe with her little
hemmed-in areas of more or less homo
geneous populations, with different lam
guages, laws, customs, coinage, postal
service and transportation arrange
ments, the United States represents a
unity of purpose, processes, activities
language and national ideals which
places her in unique position for de,
veloping homogenity in the people. The
foreigner who comes here seems {
stranger, outlandish and different, bu
the wonder is not at his many point:
of difference from the native borr
American. but rather the quickness will
which this difference is removed The
greatest element working toward:
sAmericanization, and the only one do
ing it without friction, and doing i
successfully, is the power of assimila
ton facilitated by our very form O
government, the close touch of ever,
part of the country with every othe
part, the Uniform social standards al
over the country, and the embracin.
power of the same American spirit
reigning in every part of the Union
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1921-05-06

An artificial, compulsory, meddling and
patronizing method of Americanization
of the people who come to these shores
from other countries will retard rather
than hasten Americanization, namely by
emphasizing too loudly the differences,
and blocking the natural tendency of
the powerful spirit of America to do
its work The power of growth is an
intangible, but irresistible power, and
it can be trusted to do its work, and
do it organicalfy, logically and to- the
best interest of the life of the indivi-
dual and the nation.

Good Times Expected.
IGTeenfeld Rec0rderl

Expectancy of good times is the common
mood OF business men IN current opinion.
1t is reflected in the personal conversation
OF even those manufacturers whose bust
ness IS in almost total suspension and of
these merchants who are unloading their
stocks at a sacrifice or carrying them with
certainty of loss. 1t Is the opinion of the
trade and financial Journals, with a differ
cut estimate of the time when things will
better as the only variation in their view
Some Of the authorizes say that the bot
tom has been reached and the least hope
ful predict that the revival will occur
during the year.
In the survey Of opinion in the current
Literary Digest, the business outlook IS
altogether cheering, but it is to be noted
that there is no assertion that prices
have reached the end of decline. Ii that
were the basis of u cheerful opinion, it
would have to be concluded that the OBJ
Tcryers We're whistlng to keep up courage,
for every market indication is that the
process of readjustmeut Is far from COM
oIete. The consumer has yet much to
hope for in the lessening cost of commOd-
tiles. When IT Is considered that every
holder of merchandise is resisting as fan
as he can the sacrifice OF values, the con-
clusion is reasonable that there Is yet
ground he will have to yield.
At least there Is reason for universal
satisfaction in what may be called the or
DERBY way in which the return from great
imitation Is being accomplished. The
contrast between the present period OF
depression and the times of distress
which approached havoc can be made by
ANYBODY with mans memory. 1t hardly
needs the testimony of professional fl
nanciels to establish the cheerful claim
that we are saved the full measure OF
trouble by the operation of the currency
act Of seven years ago.
The strikingly uniform optimistic feel
ing of the big men Of business ought not
to be without it's cheerful effect upon
those to whom the only finance is the
making Of ends meet in daily existence.

WANT SMITH GIRLS AT HOP.
Amherst Students Try to Adjust Trouble
Between Colleges.

AMHERST, Mass. Jan. 1J.-Al-
though the Amherst-Smith controversy
over matters relative to Smith printed in
an Amherst publication has been prac-
tically settled for some time, it was de-
Cided yesterday at a meeting of the Am
herst student body to. have the affair
settled in a permanent and more salts
factory way. In accordance. with this
decision. it was voted that the student
council appoint a committee of Amherst
men to meet with representatives OF
Smith and arrange terms satisfactory to
both parties. It is thought that by this
means there will be no more wild rumorS
given out and that friendly relations will
be established much more easily and
with better understanding on both parts
Due to the fact that the senior hop
is scheduled for Feb. II, 1t is desirable
that these relations be established as
soon as possible, and with this end i'll
view the committee was asked to settle
the matter in 10 days if possible. The
result of the action is to be made public
in a short time in order that no more
unjust information be given out.

Legislative Interest.
50. Albans Mcssenger.

1t has become customary for county del
egations in the legislature to organize and
elect officers The main purpose of this
is to have some unified way OF expressing
the desires Of members for committee APP
pointments.
About half the house membership wants
TO be nut on the highway committee,
which signifies a real interest in our high
way problem. Not so many are looking
for the committee on education, and some
members have been unkind enough to say
that all the talk about education has
been but a tempest in a tea pot stirred
I'M bv a small but exceedingly active mi
Hority.
does not mean that education may not
BECOME a prime issue of the session.. An
active minority. however small, can force
it's attention for a considerable time on
the majority and a majority IS proverbl
ally more tolerant than minority. The
majority ought to be watchful, however
and should put an end to the activities OF
any small group on any subject the mo
ment it becomes apparent that valuable
time is being wasted TO no useful pur
pose.

average man who considers this matter
is, why, if it is as plain as all this
has it not been done in the past!' Ihe
truth is, governors have not undertaken
to fill such vacancies and there has been
widespread and general acceptance of g
condition that a town cannot benefit by
such an appointment.
This viewpoint has not been held by
layaCn alone, but by the very best law
yerS in the state of Vermont. 1t IS III
order to correct the condition that the
commission to recommend amendments
to the constitution has submitted to the
present legislature O proposed amend
ment which would enable the Legislature
to provide for the filling of such vacan
cieS. -aa-..
On this commission are former JUS
tice of the supreme court. present
judge of the superior court, the attorney
general two other lawyers of note auG
two laymen. With this amount of lega
talent it is strange that they should not
have discovered the right of the governor
to appoint if he, in fact, possessed that
right.
The chances are that he does not pos
sesS it. The governor can appoint &c
fill vacancies in the senate but this is
not by virtue of the part of the conSti
tuition quoted above. but a special clause
of the constitution relating to the filling
of vacancies in the senate. 1t will Oc-
cur to some people that this clause re
lating to the senate vacancies, added t.
the constitution long after the one first
quoted, would not have been incorporated
in the organic law if the constitution
conferred such blanket appointing power
on the governor as the Herald reads into
it. The special mentioning of the sen
ate vacancies would be unnecessary.

campaign OF publicity as was ever planned

Hays and Brother Gushing of the St Al

all campaigns of advertising unless there
is something good to advertise, the whole
thing falls fiat. But Hartness did not
fall fiat. Neither will he. Hardness is
an idealist. He has imagination and he
has ideas-ideas that have grown into
convictions in his mind. Ideas that win

In many respects he is like Governor Mil

Mr.. Hardness is an inventor He is also
a practical business man. But we still

ideals-especially those of d man Oh ripe
age and large experience IN affairs of life.
The governor knows the needs OF the
farmer. OF the wage Garner, of the in
dustrial and business interests and he has
had practical experience on the state
board of education. He favors water

better marketing facilities-in fact he
knows the needs of the commonwealth

Especially does the governor sound the
