Where Women Arc Ignored.

ness pursuit she has no place in that
book of universal reference.
Such women as DR.. Mary Putnam
Jacob and Mrs. Lille Devereau Blake
are recorded, and so are dozens of
other women who are heads Of vnri.
Gus business enterprises. but women
who have no occupation outside their
own homes must be sought for in So
cinl registers and society lists. Even
women who hold responsible positions
In business firms are ignored by the
directory, though the name of every
clerk in the city Is duly recorded. In
the vnst majority of cases the dlrec
tory women whose names are sprin
kled among the Johns, Thomases and
Charleses are described simply as
"wid.," which means that their hus-
bands are dead and that they have
succeeded to the headship OF houses.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-05-01

Recently ten Of the largest advertisers
in the city Of New York withdrew their
advertisements from the Epening Post be-
cause Of certain statements it had made
in its articles attacking the new rules for
the inspection OF baggage of passengers
from foreign countries. This war be-
tween great newspaper and the leading
advertisers naturally attracted wide at
tention, but the paper righteously main
tains the unassailable position that
when public journal sells its advertiS-
ing columns it docs not put in pawn its
editorial columns, as some people have a
foolish fancy, or subordinate editorial
expressions to what this or that dealer
may think his interest.
The end of the war is now apparently
in sight. John Wanamaker has put his
advertisement in the paper again and
sent personal letter to the editor in
which he says his house has never
endeavored, directly or indirectly, to
influence the editorial or news policy of
any newspaper. The customers OF the
advertisers who started the boycott also
started counter boycott, with what
appears to have been a telling effect.
In such a contest the people will always
side with the newspapers, because
their interests as well as those Of the
press are assailed.

Inequality of Property Valuations.

Another striking illustration of the
gross inequality in the property valua-
ton fixed by the assessors of Luzerne
county and revised by the commits
sIonsrs, says the Pttsburg Gazette, is
revealed in the bids made to the govern
for the sale of sites for the proposed
public building ut the county seat.
correspondent of the Wilkesbarre Times
has done the public a good service by
looking up the assessed valuations OF
the properties In question and striking
a comparison with the terms offered by
the owners.
The result is something like this:
DIlley property, bid $4,000, assessed
valuation sls, 400; Ross property, bid
$50, $50, assessed valuation S45, ,995; Hef-
rich, Shappert and others, bid Sal 900,
assessed valuation S25, 1891; Phelps prop
erty, bid $4,000, assessed valuation
$40, 500; Mclean property, bid S4s, 500,
assessed valuation SlS,60o; Meyers prop
srty, bid $4,000, assessed valuation
$25,7o0; Bowman property, bid $50, 800,
assessed valuation 8l5, 200.
The contrast is all the greater whom
IL is borno in mind that the assessable
valuation is divisable by four in accord
ance with tho decision OF the commits
sioners acting as board Of revision,
and also that the prices asked by the
owners may properly be regarded as
comparatively low, since they are given
on competitive bidding
This list will be fit companion piece
for the record Of coal scale in Scran-
ton made in the Gazette recently, whore
in $3.50 per acre per foot depth was paid
for property similar to that assessed in
Luzerne county at the rate OF sl1 pei
acre. Those little things will come in
handy for the future use OF tax re-
formers. 1t must not be imagined tha
the fight for a more equitable assess
ment in Luzerne has been dropped. In
fact, it has scarcely been opened.

Prisoners without Counsel.
from the Philadelphia Press.

from the Philadelphia Press.
One of the impositions that the courts
OF some counties have had to contend
with is that OF defendants appearing
without counsel. However well able
many OF the accused have been to en-
ploy attorneys to assume their cases, by
waiting until they were brought before
the bar for trial it has been customary
for the bench to delegate a lawyer to
take up the burden Of defense without
hope Of being paid for his labor. Judge
Halsey, of Luzerne county, has become
tired OF the regularity with which Hun
garians and Polanders throw themselves
upon the mercy OF the court to provide
counsel, and he has announced that
hereafter it must be a well-known
worthy individual who will be provided
with free legal assistance.
