ONE QUESTION AT A TIME.
Municipal Economy Constitutes Prob
lem by Itself

1t may be true as stated by certain
taxpayers cheat the county assessor in
failing to return full list of their
property on their schedules. In fact
there is no doubt about it and in so
doing they cheat their neighbor by
entailing a higher rate of taxation on
his property. This is not right: it is not
honest and the evil should be remcdied.
But that has nothing to do with the
case now under discussion relative to
the practice of economy in the city
council. 1t is horse of another color
altogether and is used only as IA counter
charge to divert attention from the real
question at issue.
Because man has neglected to make
~ honest return of his property to the
counte>assessor, for instance, that is no
reason why the council should create a
sinecure office for an alleged building
inspector at the princely salary Of 81 200
IL year. And because another man has
acted dishonest in concealing his cash
and securities in bank vault and max
ing no returnes on the same is no reason
why two or three useless assistants
to the city engineer and AS many idle
ianitors are fostered upon the town, nor
yet why certain aldermen who do not
\arn the money go ON drawing their $50

the hardest fought battle ever known
between the miners and mine. owners is
expected. The miners union demanded
$3.50 per day for underground men, with
no scab labor employed, and this was
refused by the company. There has
been no serious donhict up to the
present time, but the miners are de
termined to win in this struggle and the

SADDLE RIDING AN ART
Hrs. Roilin NJ. Squire Tells Tow to sit
Properly on IFor-ebact


Mrs. kollin NJ. Squire of New York,
recently contributed to tn. Syracuse
Post, jan article ON the art of horse
bac<riding. In it she gives this de-
Sfiption of sitting the saddle
A proper seat in the saddle should be
the first lesson of the beginner. The
right leg is firmly gripped nd its
pommel, the left foot in its stirup.
and the left leg comfortably ti.ht
under its pommel. Equal cneryy
should be exercised by both legs The
left leg should be perfectly straight
from knee to stirrup. and held in that
position during the entire ride A
serious fault with some women is the
perpetual swinging of the left foot.
like the pendulum of clock. thus de
ranging the skirt and exposing the
foot, and making general uncouth
appearance. Again, with this motion.
it is almost impossible TO maintain a
good seat. The right leg, below the
pommel. should be pressed closely
against the shoulder of the horse. and
sufficiently downward TO prevent the
toe of the boot from interfering with
the straight drop of the riding skirt
BY keeping the right leg close to the
horse 5 shoulder the rider is in Il po-
sition to be made Immediately aware
OF any proposed change OF action ON
the part of her mount. should "a
horse be at trot, lope or cantor, he
cannot change his gait for the pul.-
pose of rearing, shying or plunging
without necessary change of muscu-
lar action. This change. at its in
ception. is at once made apparent to
the rider who sits as above described.
1t is the lack of knowledge of this po-
sition and proper grip OF the pom
mel which results in so many accidents
to women.
Now that the legs have been dis
posed with regard to the pommel. the
seat in the saddle and the position of
the body should receive attention.
The rider must acquire the habit of
sitting perfectly erect. with the left
shoulder in straight line with the
right. This eircctually prevents
slouching, so called, in the saddle
Many women have habit of throwing
the left shoulder back which is un-
graceful in the extreme, and it has
been my hardest experience to insure
a correction of this glaring fault
While such a position is unsightly it
cannot long be maintained without re
sulting in STOPPING. The beginner
must be kept from indulgence in this
fault from the very first. The elbows
should hang perfectly straight from
the shoulders and close to the body.
