to it says:
"A good tax system makes a pro.

necessary public expenditures. This
IS the whole theory of taxation and
the whole object of taxation. Anv
thlng less than this is favoritism to the
exempted persons, and anything more
IS unjust to those who pay. In this
state we have two general systems of
taxation-One being the license system
which is solely for the benefit of the
state, and the other the county system
which provides the public funds needed
by the three counties. We Judge bv

DEATH OF EMORY TEMPLE.-ADDITION
TO THE CHURCH.-THE SCHOOL.

The Kenton Sabbath School will
spend Thursday of this week at Wood
land Beach. Wednesday had been de-
cided on, but out of respect for an old
citizen, now deceased, Mr. Emory
Temple, whose funeral is on We'd
nesday, the excursion was post
poned. Many Kentonians, mostly
adults, went last Wednesday, but the
coming trip is principally for the So
called Sunday School scholars whose
parents have no way for them
Last Sunday there were six proba-
TONERS taken into full membership and
on the preceding Sabbath there were
twenty-six. This makes a total of

J. B. Messick, the introducer of the
fad of having a likeness of yourself on
the door instead of a dOor-plate, has
removed his likeness from his Office

step. Our people did not take hold of
the idea like they would gold dollars.

follow suit because the artist EMPLOYED

Emory Temple died yesterday morn

1t is asserted by those who have
watched the course of politics in later
years that party is stronger out Of
than it is in Office. There is some
reason for this when the chief object
of parties is the offices, and especially
when the leaders are using only
material available to build up their
own fences instead of working for the
good of the party and the principles of
political economy it represents. Della
ware is to an unusual extent the prev
of the political spokesman.

The tendency to run a new thing
into the ground is feature of this
country, and many predict that the
creamery business will be no excep-
ton. The Colebrookdale Creamery
Association, which conducts a large
creamery near Reading, Pa, failed last
week, foreclosure proceedings having
been brought on a $4,000 mortgage.
Within the past few years a large
number of creameries have been estab-
lished in this and other countries to
which farmers sell their milk for con-
version into butter instead of sending
the milk to the large cities to be re-
tailed, and the recent failures of cream
cries in Pennsylvania, are believed to
be due to the fact that too many have
been started.
