The menace to the country that LaFollette constitutes and the neces- sity of preserving the constitution. the foundation of America, were the main topics taken up by Congress man James Glynn in his talk before q Republican rally in Odd Fellows Hall last evening. Congressman Glynn. the principal speaker of the evening, is resident of Winsted. He has served his district, the fifth congressional. at Washington. and this year is a candidate for re-elee- ton.
 Mir. Glynn started his address with mention of the good work done by the present Republican administra- tion. He dwelt on the conditions in f9f7, when Mir. Harding and NIT. Coolidge took the helm of govern ment-how millions of unemployed were walking the streets, Liberty bonds were selling at eighty-tive. and the country was still technically at war with Germany.
 He then started on brief discus sion of the constitution, telling of what a wonderful document 1t Is, and calling 1t the foundation of the Am- eriean state. The speaker praised the ability and sagaeity of the men who drew up a document which has endur- ed through 137 years of changing conditions.
 lie called the proposal of giving the house or representatives power to overrule decisions of the supreme court, by a two thirds vote, a meas ure which would take the highest law authority of the country from the shoulders of wise, deep thinking stu dents ard place 1t ifl the hands of the mob
 Private Ownership Wisest
 Referring to proposed government ownership of public utilities. Con- gressman Glynn recalled the failure which the government had made of managing these affairs during war time. He continued that government ownership was moreover a step to- ward socialism.
 Bringing to the mind of his audi ence the conduct of LaFollette and his eronies during the war, when they went about giving speeches that were in the twilight zone of treason while all real Americans were pre- pairing for war, he classed the third party as a menace. The speaker did not consider at all the chances of the

Amusing Things. Those
Very Superior Beings

It Is curious how differently peo-
pie regard human beings, william
Lyon Phelps comments in Scribner's
Magazine. Some, upon entering a
trolley car, hate everyone else in the
vehicle; some look upon the crowd at
q street corner with disgust; 1t must
be wonderful to have such sense OF
superiority. to have such childlike un-
questioning faith In ones own splen-
did intellect.
The most amusing thing is to enter
a fashionable hotel, and as you adj
vance to the Office desk, followed by
your travelling bags, to glance for a
moment at those individuals who, hay-
ing already been there some days, now
gaze at you from their settled and
comfortable chairs. They look at you
as though you were garbage.
In the same way, many people, trav-
cling in foreign lands. hate all their
fellow countrymen whom they meet
This scOrn used to distress me, just
as 1 used to be disturbed by the con.
tempt Of waiter in hotel or but

- nut the receipts from any 9" )
orns tax it may levy into the God
aass fund according to an oeic;al
announcement from the cav ito, this
week.
"Gasoline Tax for Good Roads"
will be the heading on the amend
ment, and a slater lent by Attorney
General Clifford L. Hilton made it
plain that to Vote ''yes" will not be
voting to tax gasoline but only max
e ing sure that if such tax is levied
the money will be used for good
roads.
"Vote Yes on Amendment No.
/ for Good Roadsp' shouted Nickles
N. Dimes, the gas tax man. "That's
good slogan for every car owner
who wants all taxes paid on his
machine used to give him the most
for his money!
History ought to repeat-Good
Roads Amendment No. / going over
again by an overwhelming vote" he
continued. Sand it will if Mime
sofa people bear in mind that Good
Roads Amendment No. 1 of four
years ago, adopting the so-called
Babcock plan, already has done
these things
Built more good roads in three
years than in all the previous
history of the state.
Given car and truck owners
paying the only direct tax $3 or
more of good roads reductions of
car running cost for every 81 of
taxes paid.
And at the same time reduced
their taxes on motor vehicles from
nearly SO to less than $16.50 on
the average.
Speeded development of the
state with direct benefit to all the
people within its borders, and
without increase in taxation.
''More than 100000 car and
truck owners in this country are
\coming to realize that it is just
economy to put more money into
adequate roads and less into run
ming expenses. But that is not the
question here. Your vote on the
gas tax in November will help to de-
eide only whether motor vehicle
revenue is to be used entirely for
good roads purposes, said the gas
tax man.

Alas, Quite UnciUilized

II there is any doubt that the inhab-
1tants OF New Guinea are uncivilized
beings, we need cite only their atti-
1 tude toward paying taxes-which, ac-
icording to the Argonaut, Is as fol-
lows:
Travellers in New Guinea occasion
.ally pick up good stories concerning
native manners and peculiarities. A
tax collector had an amusing expert
.ence when he was on his rounds. He
had been to one village to collect
taxes, and when he left he was met by
?the people of a neighboring village.
"What wrong have we done that we
sshould be ignored by the govern
sment?' they asked "Come, we have
money; we will show it to you. The
idea Of those Kerepunu people paying
taxes and we not! We are just as
proud as they"
The tax collector had to pacify them
by taking their money.-Youth's Com.
