CONCEfWlNCi’ HOLrf DAYS.
Some day sotnebotty- wfll'be
moved to utter' a * watnlhg
against the unlicensed tnuIm
plication of legal holidays. The
more holidays we get, the less
inclined people 'arte to take
them seriously. A few enthusi
astically observed would be
better for the'object intended
than many indifferently 'cele
brated or -neglected altogether.
Xew Year long ago lost its
significance for most people.
Even the public schools usual
ly do not close-for Lincoln’s
birthday Or for Columbus day.
Comparatively few observe
Thansgiving *'as a religious
festival. Even Memorial day
ha3 become more a touring
and outing occasion than one
for remembering: those who
saved the Union.'
If legal holidays are tp be
merely occasions for escaping
work they* might'' ’as welt be
distributed evenly through the
year. It would simplify mat
ters, for instance, to 1iave a
specified 'day of every- month
made a legal holiday, taking
its name In cdse from some
historic arfriiversary ’ occurring
within the month.
The tendency, of course, is
always to multiply, never to
decrease, the number of hol
days. We 'may ignore a holi
day, but we never legislate it
out of existence; and it is
small honor to a hero or an
historic event for the public
generally either to"" neglect
the holiday set aside in com
memoration or to turn the cel
ebration into' channels foreign
to its original' purpose)
Who will be first seriously
to suggest a revision of holi
day schedule in the interests
of a harassed - and confused
mankind?.

a yefcf iago. 'IritH^tfafintome
taxes hate- beeri ’tirrireflMtrt’ of

last yeaf. Toe tax on aatomo*
biles yielded $113,133,245,
which is nearly a dollar per
person in the United States,
says the Wallace Press Times
Minin? Review.'
i Addin? up all the various
kinds of taxes and comparin?
with last year, Uncle Sam ?ot
some $250,000,000 more out
of his nephews and nieces
this year than last. More than
one-quarter of all the taxes
came from New York state.
Tax reductions, stran?e as it
may seem, have not reduced
taxes. They have merely made
it easier to pay. Evidently
thre are more taxable proper
ty, ?reater incoiftes and more
incomes of the taxable hei?ht
than ever before.
The :fact that the country
can'take its taxes out of its in
come without any ?reater dis
turbance than'it has felt this
jfear is 'an evidence of much
stability. The removal is felt
definitely in every - income
fax-month, but not to an-extent
which cannot be smoothed out
midway between tax*due peri
ods.
ROAD TO SUCCESS.
In the attainment of solid,
well-founded success there has
i}ot,been found a substiute for
honest labor with the hands or
[mind. The ages have recog
nized this as an immutable
truism,- yet every age, includ
ing -the present, has had its
.skeptics, its unbelievers. Its.
seekers after fame and fortune
without paying-the price in
work.
Some sage has said that to
attain success use half as much
effort as you would exert in
attempting to seek success
Without twork. There is much
Wisdom in the axiom that it
takes less 'mental effort to
c^imb to legitimate success
tMu to climb to an illegitimate
success. Legitimate' achieve
ment require* no formications,
no protection. • Illegitimate
achievement demand* more in
its retainment than in its at
tainjhent.
It is a grass injustice to in
humanity to say that if tMere
is any one thing, more than
another, that enlists very
much of the attention, time1
and effort of the people it is
in scheming and planning to
get something of value for
nothing. The number of sod-*
ety’s parasites is large but
the number of honest, hard*
working supporting pillars of
society is preponderously larg
er.

If you can't face adversity,

Love makes the world go

Staging & comeback is seldom.
a pleasant trip.
Hunt the brighter side. Th,e

Only thing worse than being
bothered is being ignored.
Generally speaking, too many
people are generally speaking.
Is it any less painful to be run
over by a car with balloon

A Ketchikan doctor recently
reported that he cured a pati

away and forgot to pay his
bill.
The woman pays and pays

The older generation is wor

Franklin was the first man
to be shocked by flying con

Yes, the auto has supplant^

weather the horse was a great
deal more ‘kittenish and read

Correct this sentence: “I just
open canned things for unex

“Your dog license, expired

“So did the dog,” endorsed'

Grooms are queer. They don’t

It has been said that every
man is the architect of his own
future, but Pete Wilson says,
in observing some of the re

many cases it would have been
better to hire one.
Mysteries of The Night
Out on the stillness of the
night a sharp report rang, fol
lowed quickly by another and
still another and then more.
No, it was not a Chicago
Night's Entertainment—just a
sheik and his Sheba kissing
A naval officer fell over
board. He was rescued by a
deck hatfd. The officer asked
his rescaer how he could re
ward him.
“The best way, sir,” said Jack,
“is to say nothing about it. If
the other fellows knew I’d
pulled you out, they’d chuck
me in.”
A butcher, walking down the
street, passed a dairy and read
this sign: “Milk from Content
ed Cows.”
He was impressed with the
idea and decided t/i adapt it
to his line- of business. The
following- morning this sign ap
peared in his window: “Sau
sages from Hogs That Died
Happy.”
Ah elderly and a young mem
ber of a certain club met in the
smoking-room;
“I hear, Mr. Jones,” said the
fortner, "that you are going to
be married shdrtly. I hope you
will be -very happy.”
“Oh. I don’t see why not,”
replied the prospective bride
groom, cheerily; “I came'thru
the war without a scratch, you
know;”
Another useless article is the
sweat-band in a cake-eater's
hat.
Ralph Young decided he
wouldn’t let Noel have the
Limerick field all to himself
V
and so he concocted this one:
In days of old
When Knights were bold,
And sheet iron trousers wort;
They lived in peace
For then a crease
Would last five years or more.
In those old days
They had a craze
For steel shirts, and they
wore them!
And there was bliss—
Full much of this
For the laundress never tore
them.
