Worse Than Fighting.

Since the foot ball craze struck Penn'S
Grove, a mother saw her small boy
with others and called out, "Stop youl
fighting, boys, you will hurt each 9th.
er." All replied, "We are playing
foot ball."
The game of foot ball as played is as
near fighting as one can come to it
without it being called a fight. Not
unfrequently more than one has the
life nearly knocked out of him in a
game. More sensible rules should be
made. Every man should keep in his
relative position and advance or retreat
with the position of the ball. No one
should be allowed to run with a ball
but be required to kick it. Now it is
muscular power and brute force that
wins and not skill in kicking.
A record of the injuries received this
year in playing foot ball has been kept
and it shows that eleven foot ball play
ers have died since September of ipjur-
iesreceived in the game and thirty
have been hurt, many of them badly.
Three died from conclusion of the
brain, three from injuries to the spine
and four from internal injuries.
Those injured suffered from broken
limbs and collar bones, twisted knees,
sprained ankles, dislocated shoulders,
wrenched wrists and bruised bodies,
and in many cases the victims will be
permanently crippled. The greatest
number of injuries was received during
the Thanksgiving Day games.
That is a worse record than all the
prize fights in the last twenty-five years.

The seth Congress met last Monday.
The most important legislation propos-
ed is to clinch the gold standard into
law, by making the gold dollar the on
ly full legal tender money in the coun-
try. All other money is to be redeem
ed by that. The greenbacks, the peo.
ple's legal tender money is to be locked
up and made practically gold certif-
Gates. Instead of providing for the in
crease of more standard silver dollars,
real hard money, the full legal tender
quality of those now in existence will
be destroyed, and to furnish the needs
for more money the national banks will
be given the right to increase the issue
of their notes (sound rag money which
are not a legal tender, but a promise to
pay money. Less government money
is to be had than now and more cor.
poration notes to be issued if the peo-
pie can furnish the security to borrow
it at 6 per cent. The report to Con
gress states that the public credit of
the country needs strengthening. The
real meaning of that is that a dollar
should buy more land, labor, aud pro.
ducts of labor than now

Tax Rates In the State,

There are two tables in the annual
report of the State Board of Taxation
which has just been presented to the
Governor which are of more than ordi-
nary interest. One shows the average
tax rate in the various counties and the
other shows the exemptions in the coun.
ties. The table of tax rate gives the
average rate for the State as SIPS on
500. The highest average rate is in
Cape May county. There the average
is $40 on the 500. In Salem county
the average tax rate is Sl.00 on 500,
making the lowest average tax rate of
any county in the State. The average
tax rates in the other counties are: At
lantic, S2,2S; Bergen, S1.94; Burling-
ton, $3.50; Camden, 81. SO; Cumberland
$1.91; Essex, 1928; Gloucester, 81. So;
Hudson, S2.2l; Hunterdon. SLIGO; Mer-
Ger, S1.45; Middlesex, $1.95; Mon
mouth, SLIP; Morris, 81. "a; Ocean,
$40; Passaic, $500; Somerset, 81. SO;
Sussex, $l.29; Union, $2,3S; Warren,
Sl.15. The table of exemptions shows
that about One-ninth of the entire rat
ables of the State are exempt. The
total of the exemptions is $97, 096, $50.
This sum is made up as follows: School
property, $40, 165, 102; public property,
~$3l,S43.S10; church and charitable
property, S31, 1893, 031; cemeteries, So
ST., 740; veterans, firemen and militia,
$9,S16,906. The report says that in the
opinion of the board the series of acts
under which soldiers, sailors and fire.
mel are allowed an exemption of $500
would not stand tie test of judicial
scrutiny. Continuing, the report says
that 'while the Court of Errors and
Appeals has held in the railroad tax
cases that under the constitution prop
erty may be classified for the purpose
of taxation, the purpose for which the
property was used being the basis of
classification, it has never been held by
the courts that the owners of property
could be classified under the constitu-
tion for the purpose of taxation, one
class being exempt while another was
not. The line which divided exempt
property from that which is not exempt
is a line which divides classes, but there
is no such line under the constitution
which divides exempt persons from
those who pay taxes.

One of the most %perplexing problems,
with which prospective Speaker Hen
derson is graphing, is a choice of a
Chairman for the Civil Service Com
mittee. Although the members of the
Republican party have been loud in
proclaiming their adherence to both the
theory and the practice of Civil Service
Reform, the votes and voices OF the
Republicans on the floor of the House
have been far from according with
what the party has claimed, and the
recent sweeping order Of the President,
by which thousands of department
positions, formerly under the civil SER
vice regulations, were thrown open to
the spoilsmen of the Republican party,
has made connection with the Civil
Service Committee exceedingly dis
agreeable and in consequence the chair
manship is going a begging.

woods with glimpses OF rainbow crossed ravines
through the barring trees, watching the mists

pure mountain air. The contrast between Our
suffering fellow mortals and friends and ourselves
made the pleasure of the hour more poignant.

guavas.
The ever incroaching lantana had given way
to grass with here and there cluster OF dainty
ferns. There distinct change in the tenn
