look OFT FOR IIITMBTGS

The London Times has thrown its col
umns open to a discussion Of the money
ouestloa. and the result has been demon
strative OF remarkable growth in the bi-
metallic crusade. The controversy Is en-
tlrely non-polltical, as of course II should
be. II IS not a political question In the
sense OF being the principle OF any party.
and IL is important enough to be consid-
cred apart from party organization. II

The people may be sure that any man
who seeks 20 DO elected constable or

who resorts to such devices should be sent

is OF no consequence whether a sheriff Is a
Free sllverits or a goldl;e. the only ques-
ton should be: Is he the best available
man for the ofilcee The same question
should he put by the voters "a 10 every
man seeking executive Office. II IS an en-
tirely different matter with the lcg.sla-
tive branch. For membership OF the legis-
nature, the test OF qualification should be
not what national laws would the candi-

ForAIIZING VALUES.

There never was a time, perhaps. when
a more important duty eev0lved upon the
state board 81 equalization than at present.
when IL IS passing upon tho last work Of
the several county assessors throughout
the state During the past few years val
ues have changed a great deal. and pec-
pies idess of a proper assessment have
altered in so marked degree that It will
be a work OF no little difficulty 10 so equal
ize values as 70 make the burdens Of taxa
ton Uniform and equal
While there are certain rules which as
SCISSORS are supposed 20 follow. these off,
Gals are possessed OF powers more or less
arbitrary. and. therefore. II is usually
found that there are decided disagreements
in the matter OF the valuations that may be
put on real and personal property I'm differ
ent localities. AT no time viii these differ
ences he moro apparent than At time
Ike the present when an attempt is likely
10 be made TO relieve people by making
assessments as low as reason and fairness
viii possibly permit.
While IL may be unjust 20 say that some
counties are trying 20 throw upon the
others the greater part OF the burden OF
supporting the state government, II Is
probably true that the memorable demands
or hard times have Influenced many as
SCISSORS to list property much below what
il should actually be. II these low valua-
tons should stand. it would. OF course. be
very satisfactory TO the counties making
them. but rlanifestly unjust 20 others
which have kept similar property more
nearly up to the old-time standards OF as
sessment.
There is no doubt Of a great depreciation
In values generally during the past few
years. But this depreciation. as a rule.
has been noticeable everywhere, in all sec
tlons and places, and the board OF equaliz-
alton should take account of this fact when
adjusting valuations which are wide apart
and manifestly unfair 70 one side or the
other. II IS conceded that the counties OF
King and Pierce VIII always pay a very
large proportion OF the state taxes, but in
doing Il. II is only fair that their contribu-
tions In support of government should be
based upon valuations such as prevail In
other counties which pay a smaller aggre-
gate state tax.

WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY.
Some Good Advice to All Elders OF the
Wheel Who lay BE in Danger
without Knowing 1t.

Next to my friends love my bicycle
She was an enthusiastic young woman
who uttered these words and she evident
" meant them. There is so much exhii-
aration and pleasure in riding bicycle.
that il IS no wonder il is so popular
But like every good thing IL has its
drawbacks. People who have ridden
bicycle for any length of tine are almost
always troubled a. times with pain in the
back. Ii is a fact which admits OF no dis
pute that the vibration OF the wheel
causes in nearly every case. more or less
kidney. liver or urinary difficulties. Not
that these troubles are serious at the be-
ginning, but they are liable 10 become 80
II they continue. There IS no more seri-
Gus trouble in the world than kidney
trouble whether in men or women, and
there IS nothing more certain than that
it must be checked in time, or broken
health. shattered strength and untimely
death are sure TO follow.
Any man, woman or child can ride
bicycle without any danger from these
troubles if the kidneys and urinary organs
are only kept regulated. But OF course,
there is the great difficulty. Every physi-
clan knows that it is difficult to regulate
these delicate organs, and all physicians
admit that there is absolutely but one
remedy for these troubles. That remedy
is Warmers Safe Cure. This great d1scov-
cry is ACKNOWLEDGED to be the only cure
for these difficulties, because il stimulates
gently the kidneys and all adjacent organs
and causes them to continue in perfect
health. There need be no fear Of back
ache. peculiar pains. depressed feelings,
or any OF the thousand things which in
dictate kidney difficulty, where this great
Safe Cure is used continuously and in
time. So that bicycle riders need not
fear. but can ride TO their hearts content
providing only they are careful. provid-
ing only they watch for the approach Of
the first symptoms of kidney difficulty
and providing only they check them in
time

Origin Of the Word aDun."

"Dun" is a word whose meaning is
now known to every one who under
stands tho English language. About
tho beginning Of tho century a con-
stable in England namod John Dun
became celebrated a. a first class col.
lector of bad accounts. When others
would fail 30 collect q bad debt, Dun
would be sure TO get 1t out Of the
debtor. II soon passed into a current
phrase that when person owed money
and did not pay when asked, he would
have to be "Dunned.
Hence it soon became so common in
such cases TO say: "You will have 10
Dun So-and-so II you wish to collect
your money"
