Are You Proud Of
Your Noble Blood!

A diligent newsgatherer at Cedar
Falls telegraphs the Des Moines Reg
lister that an old lady in that town
who celebrated her 18th birthday an
niversary the other day has an an
cestry which dates back to the time
of Charlemagne and Alfred the Great,
and springs directly from ten royal
families of England, France and
Spain. Gosh all fshhooks! What is
she going to do with that kind of
pedigree, anyhow? Why, we're all de-
scended from Alfred and Charlemagne
and William the Conqueror-and at
least everybody with an Irish name
is descended from all the old kings of
Ireland Genealogists say that the
lines of descent so cross and recross
that practically every English-speak-
ing man and woman is descendant
of William the ConquerOr-and, also,
of every horsethief, murderer, jail
bird, pirate, highwayman and degen-
crate of that day Each of us is the
descendant of practically everybody
who lived in the British Isles thous-
and years ago, just as practically ev-
erybody who lives in America thous-
and years hence will be descended
from all of us.

The Ear of
the Tax Gatherers.

An Iowa newspaper thinks the idea
of being afraid of high taxes is all
folly. 1t says:
"The next lesson Mr.. Taxpayer
needs to learn is that taxation is not
a. curse-that it is merely system OF
buying collectively, as community or
as a state, those things we need but
could not buy singly."
Yes, that is a beautiful theory. But
practice is something else again. In
practice it is too often system of
buying for the community at an ex-
orbitant price a great deal of things
the public does not need nor want,
because those who have the things
for sale are able to get the ear of
those who levy taxes.

What is a "Yankee 2"

Every once in a while we hear
someone referring to the word yam
kee," in terms of reproach as though
it meant something mean and grasp
ing. Being of Yankee blood and hui
man this always makes us mad In
fact, we always felt rather proud OF
having Yankee ancestors. The follow
ing definition is, we think, good one:
"a Yankee Is New Highlander
and one of several generations of
New England descent. New England
inhabitancy, not some special strain
of blood, is the criterion. Many Yam
kee' families bear German names.
Many of the original New England
ers were British, and many more
were Irish-not all Presbyterlans,
either The Huguenot French were
a very large element. The Yankee
owes some of his traits to his sur
roundings. He lives in land OF
long winters, and the habit OF saw
ing the abundance of summer to
support life in the cold season has
made him frugal, perhaps parsimo-
NOUS. Economy was necessity
with him. Learning to make the
most of what lay to hand, adversely
overcome, has sharpened his wits,
made him ingenious, full of Yankee
tricks He has become opulent
. through sheer force of unremitting
industry, intellectual and physical
effort No sudden endowments of
nature helped him, no mines of
precious metals, scarcely even of the
baser metals, no oil wells, no soil
stuffed with the riches of the decay
ed verdure of ages, as in the prairie
states. What he wen he fought for
against hard odds, and, as has al
ways been the case throughout his
tory, when race conquers resist
ing nature instead of supinely re-
ceiving her largess, reached high
mental development"

The Time Element.
When James A. Garfield was presi-
dent of Hiram College, a man brought
up his son to be entered as a student
He wanted the boy TO take a course
shorter than the regular one.
my son can never take all those
studies" saidt he father. HE wants
to get through more quickly. Can't
you arrange it for him?"
ooh, yes" said Mr. Garfield. He
can take a short course; it all depends
on what you want to make of him.

takes a hundred years. but He takes
