within the period specified, shall obtain ten
new subscribers, with that sum, and this is
an inducement to canvass for THE TRIBUNE,
which, so far as we know, has never been
offered by any other paper. Such of our
readers as wish to obtain handsome and
reliable time-keeper without any expense
whatever to themselves, will find this an
opportunity worth taking advantage of.
We shall continue, as heretofore, to furnish
the watch with a copy of THE TRIBUNE for
one year to individual subscribers for 1915,
and they will note that the paper may be
sent to one address and the watch to another,
which practically makes the cost of the
watch but 1915 to any person ordering it in
this way, instead of $3.50, which is the in
variable price when not ordered in connec-
with subscription to THE TRIBUNE. Thus
club-raisers may secure watch for each of
the subscribers composing their club, or for
any of their friends by simply inclosing S2.75
IN addition to each subscription.
This offer of watch for club of ten
new subscribers will remain open only until
June 10Th, and those who desire to profit by
it should lose no time, therefore, in getting
to work. We will mail sample copies for
distribution to any address on receipt of a
request to that effect.

services that have so long gone unrequited,
and Of the sacrifices that have been so lily
rewarded. How many of these now dis
abled veterans before the war enjoyed happy
and comfortable homes? How many were
already launched on a prosperous career !?
How many, returning, found the opportunity
gone by, and their future all behind them
From the school house, with their education
just begun, went forth thousands of beard
less youths to battle for their country; how
many were ever able to take up again the
books so hastily thrust aside? From the
workshop poured forth troop of stalwart
apprentices; did they they find the bench
still vacant when they came back? Let us
have the plain, unvarnished story. 1t has
never entered into the records; it has never
been spread upon the pages of history. The
number of this dusty claim which, for one
reason or another, has lain so long unnoticed
in the pigeon hole, gives US no clew to the
mystery OF the claimants life. How fares
he? Is there roof over his head and bread
in the house? Is there CHEEKY blaze in the
fireplace? Does the good wife 60 singing
about the house, and are the children romp-
ing about their fathers knees? Or is there
sheriff's bill on the door, and desolate
hearth within, the odor of drugs, the face
of woman weary with watching, and black
care brooding over all! How fares it with
these neglected and forgotten claimants
the soldier who came back wrecked by the
war and the widow and orphans of him who
never came back at all? Here is a cause
for real concern. The Government, though
there should be a fraudulent pensioner in
every village, would yet survive; but what is
to become of those unhappy ones who,
having trusted in its promises, now vainly
await their fplfillment?

siOn was made to the fact that the trustees
Of the Brooklyn bridge had determined to
employ as Waterman no person over thirty
i've years Of age, thus practically excluding
al e1-soldiers, and we suggested that they
perhaps laigbt yet discover that the latter
were not played out after all. Il appears
that they have already done SO. A sub
committee OF the Kings county G. A. r.
Memorial committee waited upon lie trust

protest against the injustice of their action
that they concluded 10 rescind ii, and the

THE ASSESSORS CONVENTION

The convention OF township AS
SCISSORS which assembled at the court
house in this city Saturday, was an
occasion of more than passing inn
portance, and should have been more
largely attended. The object of the
meeting was to fix uniform rate for
the assessment of property in the
county. The assessment lists for last
wear show a very wide difference in
the valuation OF property, especially
real estate, in different portions of the
county. For instance, real estate
property in Summit township was
assessed at rate almost double that
in Rockville township and a similar
unjust and unreasonable difference is
found in comparing other sections of
the county. No reasonable man,
acquainted with the value of the
property on which such difference 10
the assessment is shown, will con-
tend fer a moment that it is wright.
But it must stand lust that way, for
no Board of Equalization will pass
uoon the work of that wear.
In view of these facts the Asses
sors of the various townships met
with their own accordion the law
dosent require anything of the kind
for the purpose OF agreeing upon
fixed and uniform basis OF assess
ment. We are happy to say that
the work done is business like. and
fully accomplishes all that was in
tended. If each Assessor will ad-
here to the basis fixed upon and pub
lished elsewhere in to-days TINES, it
will save the Board of Equalization
which sits next year vast amount
of work and expense to the county. |
