Senator Dillingham; Says
Attempts to Modify Act
Looks Silly


At well attended meeting Of
leading Republicans Of Vermont
at luncheon in Burlington the

bers Of the party and candidates
for office made important utter
ances relative to the party's atti-
tude to the attempt of the opposi-
ton to start an issue in the present

The first speaker introduced was
Pedheld Proctor Among other
things he said;
lone OF the questions which Is

Is that Of how money shall be rails
ed for State affairs and how it
shall be spent We must realize
that we have to pay for whatever
we have in~this life. whether in
public or private life" Mr. Proc
tor declared. "Many seem to feel
the burden Of Il direct tax much
more than they do an indirect tax.
Yet | question whether a little di-
rect State tax is the worst thing
in the world for us to have. ] be-
iieve that we are little more con-
~cious Of the State spending mon
ey when We have a small direct
State tax"
Mr.. Proctor said that he believed
it desirable that we return more to
fundamentals in State affairs. to Il
little more of the simplicity OF our
forefathers. He said that. if elect
ed governor, he hoped that the
members 0 fthe next Legislature
would come in and talk over State
problems with hin, and he hoped
to get the opinions Of the men Of
his party as he went about the
State before the Legislature con-

THE MEANEST MAN

I'VE heard of men so awful mean A They'd skin flea for hide and

 dollar Until the goddess fell apart And was compelled to loudly "holler.' I've heard of men so mean md near" The thought of wear gave them keep
 twinges, And so they climbed the fence for fear To swing the gate would wear out
 hinges. And once knew a man so mean His heart was wont to quickly flutteI If children at his board were seen To use molasses on bread and butter But of all men described as mean There's one who's worse than all tho

HAPPINESS

IF YOU would get your full share of A happiness out of life, you must at all times contribute happiness to others.
 When a little cloud of doubt comes between you and your dearest friend. or an angry word pops off unexpected ly in a heated argument. hasten with out delay to obliterate 1t. If you have been at fault lose not a moment in making an apology.
 Do not brood over imagined offenses. for 1t Is often that breeding adds fuel to a flame which, If let alone, would die out of its own accord.
 Many lives have been utterly wrecked and thousands of hopes blasted by bestowing too much thought on petty trifles and idle words whose meanings had been so warped and twisted that they became monstrous offenders, when in reality they were mere feather weight nothings.
 There is an innate proneness in ali of us to sail under false colOrs and to misjudge our most intimate friends. 50 we turn our backs upon the bright and beautiful, head our frail craft to- ward darkness to make love to our own ugly souls, while we bestow hate upon the fair souls of our intimates.
 And while we habitually do these absurd things, we become more and

didn't all achieve their ambition. But a lot of them came back lieuten- ants, and still more came back with D. s. C.'s and Croix de Guerre.
 Those who went to war despondent- ly came back, most of them, but they came back privates, and opportunity, which they never hoped for, passed them by.
 Youth, which all men want to hold as long as they can. feeds on hope.
 A distinguished lawyer, seventy-five years old. is today in Europe doing an important work for his country. He will succeed, because though his phys ical strength has waned. his hope burns as high as ever.
 You will have trials and discour- agements, and black hours, but hope will carry you through them. Cling to it and you will live and die with a youthful heart. Give them up and desolation will cloud your autumn years and despair will accompany you to your grave.

 Even while we are in these deplor- able humors, Hapr ness stands smil- ing beside us, but we stubbOrnly refuse to put out your arms to embrace her.
 And in this manner we become an eternal puzzle to ourselves and our associates.
 Who among the earthly hordes can understand the human heart, always pretending to seek Content. yet locking the door when Content would enter and abide in peace?
 Preaching one thing and practicing another has more to do with the cheer fulness and the gloom of the world than most of us suspect, yet many of us, willingly or ignorantly, continue to pursue the folly without pausing to consider the result.
 After all, happiness is not far away, but within our own doubting hearts. and if we bemoan its loss with sin cerity, all we have to do to reclaim 1t is to sacrifice pique and pride, and pay court to it like passionate lover. co. 1922. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)

Clever, but the Latin says it more | forcibly: Crowned-with-laurel Horace,
 what you say is true: Flies than the | southeast wind faster time the devOur | CT of things.
 And the second quotation above neatly supplements the first by say
 ing: Times change and we are changed | in them.
 All of which suggests most forcibly
 that time has destroyed the old-fash-
 toned method of observing several of
 our American national holidays; that
 the times have changed and we in | them. Now, there's the Fourth of July, for
 example. The Old-fashioned Fourth is so entirely gone that we don't quite
 know what to do with the day. In the old days we used to twist the Lions tail when we didn't know what else | to do, but since we fought side by side with the British in the Great War,
 that seems as out of place as do fire crackers and the casualty list of small boys.
 And it's just about the same with New Years Day. About all that's left us is to listen to the whistles blow ing at midnight and to make good res olutions. And what changes the day has seen since first Americans began it's celebration!
 Americas celebration of New Years
 Day owes nothing to Puritan New England. In the North New York, be- ing Dutch, was the center of New Years gayety. The South, being Eng fish, but not Puritan, also celebrated enthusiastically. The custom of mak- ing calls probably is as old as civilized man; 1t is likely that it originated independently in almost every cline. Old-time European chieftains used to set New Years" apart as a day on which they would cOndescend to re- ceive substantial tributes from their underlings. Queen Elizabeth re- ceived New Years calls every year, and there was always much rivalry be- tween her ambitious cOurtiers as to the quantity and value of the gifts they should bestow upon the virgin sovereign. It was on New Years Day that Sir Walter Raleigh gladdened the queens heart with memorable pair of silk stockings-the first ever made and worn in England.
 In Holland the custom of making New Years calls had been general long before the settlement of New Amsterdam, and the natives of the Netherlands who came to live in the New World brought the practice with them. And, of course, they had plenty to eat and drink-fOr who ever heard of Dutchmen who did not take good care of their stomachs?
 Up to the beginning of the Nine teenth century the typical New Years observance was a neighborly custom. Then 1t became an observance decreed by fashion and was observed in every city of any size in the country.
 The younger women of such house holds as had daughters were the host esses, and great was their rivalry, one with another, in respect of richly load ed refreshment tables and elegance of

toilet. The "beaux," and Handles, " and "gallants" attired themselves in their best and started out early in the morning, calling first at the houses where matrons received, and afterward upon the younger ladies. The drinks that were offered at every house of any prominence were ardent and di- verse.
 It was not until about the middle of the century or thereabOuts that the abuse which finally led to the GUS toms decline began. For years the dendies rivaled one another in the length of their calling lists, and the calls soon came to be nothing more than nasty gorgings of cake and gulp- ings of wine
 Then the ladies-the matrons as we'll as the young wOmen-began to vie with one another in the number of their callers. This led to the most extraordinary practices. Callers were recruited, drummed up. Cards an nOuncing that Miss This-or-That would be tat home" on January l were sent out almost indiscriminately. The Sun cay newspapers began to print lists of those who would receive, and the houses of those mentioned in the lists were sure to be besieged by numbers of men whom the ladies had never met CT heard of and desired never to meet again.
 Men would go calling in couples and parties, and even in droves of 30 or more, remaining as short a time at each stopping place as possible, and announcing everywhere how many calls they had already made, and how many they expected to make before they finished. At every place they drank. The result was most ap- palling assortment of "jags' long be- fore SundOwn, and a crOwding of the police stations at night.
 This New Years observance finally became so abused that it was called national evil," and was attacked by refOrmers everywhere and ministers thundered against it from the pulpit. Finally fashion set its face against it and it died gradual death.
 Its place was taken after a while by eating and drinking in the restaurants, and by the street carnivals
 If Croesus himself had come back to earth and had visited New York or any big city in the cOuntry-in 1905, he couldn't have got a seat in any restaurant of note after ten o'clock the night of December 31, for all his fabulous wealth. In fact, he probably couldn't have got inside the door, Every table was engaged-at big prices and long in advance. Diners had to get out at nine o'clock and
