own salvation. This rule of life he
learned from his Hampton teacher.
The men who now deal most in
diligently with negro education
are inclined to give more and more
emphasis TO industrial education, to
teach the negro how to make a liv-
ing, by object lessons, rather than
to give him what is called an "edu-
cation" of books, and then turn
him adrift to pick up, as best he
can, the industrial education of the
hand and the brain behind it.
More than this, Mr.. Washington
recognizes the supreme Importance
of education in agriculture. He
believes with many of the wisest
men that the agricultural industry
underlies all Others, and is their
foundation. Therefore he would
make the negro proficient in it, so
that he may become an independ-
ent small proprietor, instead of
drift ting into the cities, in which
the majority of workingmen get
mired. In adopting this theory,
and in steadily working it out, he
moves closer to the solution of the
vexing problems of civilization.

No doubt there are serious objections
to the game of foot ball as it is now
played. Those of us, whose boys are
masters Of this game here, and in
America, are not satisfied with it.
Harry Beecher,, one of Yale's great
players and the Captain of his team
says it should be modified. He says in

many years ago, and the game that
resulted was not only more pleasurable
to watch, but far more interesting tc

In presenting the arguments for, and
against the game, one paper parallels
two opinions, as follows:
In the game, mind, muscle, patience
and forbearance are all brought to
the front, and the greater the player
the greater the man. Look at any one

THE PLANTATION TAX CASES.

The decisions of the Supreme
Court in the Tax Appeal cases APP
peared in our issue of yesterday.
The principles adopted by the
Court in it's review of the findings
of the assessors. are interesting
from a legal standpoint, because
our own Court is dealing with
subject which the American
Courts touch gingerly, owing to
very demoralized public senti
ment on the matter of taxation.
The American Press has with sin
guIar unanimity in the large cities
avoided any close discussion of
the subject, because the valuation
of the assets of the profitable
newspapers has been placed so
fraudulenty low by accOmmO-
dating assessors. in order to keep
the papers quiet on other matters,
that a free Press has been largely
a muzzled Press. The large cor
pOratiOns as rule. prefer to
''deal'' with the assessors rather
than take questions of valuation
into Court and expose their bust
ness. asg|F'
The opinion of our own Court
indicates that there is much
which is subject to taxation, that
is indefinite and even shadOwy.
But it adopted a rule which distin-
cuisines between what is OF per-
manent and what is of transient
value. Even with the most care
full consideration, it is impossible
to do exact justice, owing to the
constant rise and fall of values in
the commercial world.
The Western Union Telegraph
Company has outstanding stock
to the market value of $SO,OOO,-
600. But the "plant," the physi-
cal equipment of poles, wires,
batteries and buildings could be
reproduced for less than $25,-
100000. The chief value of its as
sets lies in the fact that it is
practically impossible for any
other corporation to secure the
valuable contracts it has acquired,
in past years, from railways.
These have absolutely no market
value and yet they give a per-
manent value to the stock. In the
different States a taxation only of
it's physical assets are made, and
it's real values escape it alto
gether.
Our Supreme Court makes an
interesting analysis of the differ
ent factors which govern valua-
tons in these Islands, with the
view of reaching business
mans view" of what the planta-
tons are worth. The matter was

Court, and what is of great i'm

assessors, who are not looking for

their minds" and require new

Perhaps it was not very wise
for the plantations to enter into
any litigation on this matter. 1t

cord, and before the public, much
interesting information, in the
most authentic form.
This detailed statement of the
condition and value of the planta
tons at the present time, made
under oath and confirmed by the
Courts will have great value here,

cial history of the sugar planting
