lately tested in Sacramento, and de-

A little over three years ago the east
ern part of the city was considerably
stirred up over the mysterious disap-
pearance OF young married woman
named Mrs. Karwonan who disap-
peared one afternoon as completely as if
the ground had opened and swallowed
her up. Many theories were advanced
and numberless search parties started
out to find the missing woman; the
neighboring waters were dragged to see
if they would yield up her lifeless form,
but all to no purpose. Yesterday morn
ing young man was going through the
thick uhderbrush about half mile due
south of the Scow Bay foundry when he
found a human skeleton under tree
There were shoes and some remnants of
clothing. Medical experts pronounced
the skeleton to be that of a woman, and
from what could be gathered in the way
doubt but that the skeleto is that of the
missing Mrs. Karwonan who wandered
away SO mysteriously so long ago.-As-

The board of equalization has decreed
that the road beds of the various trunk
lines of railroads in the state shall be
assessed at $4,000 per mile. These roads
probably cost an average of not less than
four times that amount. In that case a
railroad company.gets off with paying
% cents while borrower of money on a
mortgage security must pay dollar. A
sheep worth three to four dollars is taxed
at $1.60 dollar mortgage is assessed at
hundred cents. This is called eqali-

The state board of equalization has
committed grave error in declaring that
all mortgages in the state shall be
assessed at their face value while the
property by which the mortgages are
secured as we'll as most other kinds of
property is assessed at perhaps not more
than an average of fifty cents on the
dollar. If everything else was assessed
at its full value the action of the board
wonld be just and right, as it is, it is
neither law nor justice. If the action
-of the board would in any way relieve
the borrower, by compelling the lender
to pay the inequality we might treat the
matter with less concern, although moth
ing in the Oregon code would Justify
that action; but it is far otherwise.
Assessing mortgages at their face. while
other property notably town lots and
other valuable real estate-is assessed at
half that rate is simply saying that the
borrowing classes must pay the differ
rence of this unequal tax. Not once in a
hundred times does the lender of money
pay the tax. The borrower always paws
it either by special agreement or by an
increased rate of interest. The decision
of the board, under existing conditions,
is foolish, unjust, unequal and oppres-
sive and we shall be much surprised if
the courts shall not be called upon to
.rescind the iniquitv

The advocates of Sabbath reform are
going too far. They have no right to
demand that.this goveInmrnt shall pre-
scribe the manner of observance of a
purely Christian institution by men
who are not Christians. This is going
farther than Judaism, Notwithstanding
the severity of its code, ever went. The
most that Sabbatarians can reasonably
ask is that the day be constituted a legal
day of rest from active labor That has
been done already and no man who loves
the toiling masses can wish it otherwise
Sunday is the working mans day, a
legal day of rest, as the Fourth of July
or Christmas or New Year; but this
does not mean that man shall not
work on these days if he is SO inclined,
or spend the day in recreation, if he SO
wills. The government, as such, cannot
prescribe how these days shall be OBJ
served because the government knows
neither Christian nor infidel, Jew nor
Gentle. Its function is to protect the
citizen in the exercise OF his liberty to
do as he pleases SO long as the rights of
OOhCio are TeSpSCCeu. IL certain lines OF
business are restricted on any of these
days, the restriction is not based on re-
igious grounds but is a purely civil reg
uiation for the preservation of order or
health or some kindred purpose. But
the observance of Sunday as day of
religious worship the government can
not enjoin or enforce. This is the
church's function and when the church
seeks by force of law to compel nom
Christians to observe purely Christian
Institution it sets itself at variance both
with Christianity and free government.
The founder of Christianity would call
1t putting new wine in old bottles, with
the result that the wine would be
spilled and the bottles marred.
