A GoYERNOR,s INDIFFERENCE.

On the oath of December last, William s. Jen-
nings Governor of Florida, filed out and signed a
death warrant for the execution of Noah J. Thigh
man, which document commanded that the said
Tilghman be hanged on the oath day of January
1902, he having been convicted of murder III the
first degree at the fall term of the circuit court for
Putnam county.
Mr.. Noah J. Tilghman is of the most respect
ed of Palatka's elder citizens. He Is a Christian
gentleman and a local preacher in the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South and far as his neigh
bors know has committed an indlscretlon, let
alone crime The blunder of the governor has an
moved Mr. Ti,ghman much. His name was pub
lished In the Times-Unon and Citizen as a convicted
and beexecuted murderer, the authorl-
ty for the publication being dispatch from Talla-
hassee. The death warrant was received as made
out, by the sheriff of this county.
Of course it was a blunder the part of the gov
ernor, but it was blunder which caused pain and
ANNOYANCE to an innocent and worthy man; and
what blunder! 1t was so inexcusabe. The party
for whom the death warrant was intended Is }. b
Brown negro. Brown doesn't sound like Thigh
man. 1t doesn't look like it in print or in type
written document. So we say, what blunder! 1t
certainly ought to have been explained or apollo
gy made but neither has been forthcoming from the
chief executive, although Mr.. Tilghmans friends
have appealed to him to publicly acknowledge hls
mistake in the leading papers. Does not this IN
difference pass all comprehension when connected
with such man as the Governor Of Florida Is sup
nosed To hep

SHOULD CHURCHES BE TAXED.

There is in this country small but energetic
minority of persons who insist that church property
should be taxed. Their argument is that every dol
lar of taxes removed from church property must be
made up by proportionate increase IN the levy
against other property, and that, as consequence,
many non-religionists are thus compelled to lndl-
recty support churches. As the church property IN
the United States is valued at 100000 900, 1t may
readily be seen that assessments against 1t at the
regular rates would be considerable item. Presl-
dent Grant, in message to congress- advocated the
taxation of all property equally He even intimated
that the question was SO grave that bloodshed
might be involved in its settlement, unless action
were taken before the acquisition of church proper
ty ran into the billions.
The moral influence exercised by the church is
held up as a justification for the exemption of &C.
clesiastcal property from taxation. So general is
the acceptance of this view that no change In the
present policy is likely in the immediate future.
One of the most striking examples of the evil
that sometimes grows out of discrimination in taxes
is the case of the Broadway Tabernacle, in New
York city Forty-fve years ago the congregation
of this church paid $78 500 for the ground on which
the Tabernacle was built. Within the last month
the land was sold for 100000, the old edifce
counting for nothing in the transaction. The clear
profit to the congregation was therefore, 1921,
500, sum which may properly be said to have
been contributed by the community at large. This
instance is being used by the equaltaxationsts to
further their movement.
It is doubtful if the advocates of the taxation of
church property make much Roadway until the big
industrial corporations and private owners of large
land tracts shall be forced pay their proper share
of taxes. The immunity enjoyed by the churches is
a mere bagatelle as compared with the taxes avoided
by other property holders,

To County Assessors of Taxes:

Numerous and serious complaints
are received from nearly every por-
ton of the State that much property
liable to taxation escapes assessment
and also that valuations in many
cases are too low. The following
provisions of the revenue law, Chap
ter 1922, approved June LIST, 1895, re-
lating to assessments and valuations
are mandatory.
Section 19.-Every assessor shall
REQUIRE any person giving in the
amount or list of his personal proper
tn to make oath before him that the
same is full and correct, and any
person refusing to take such oath
shall not be permitted afterwards to
reduce the valuation made by such
assessor of his personal property for
that year. The valuation of any
item of property by the taxpayer,
shall in no case prevent the as
SCISSOR from determining its true val
ne, and if he shall ascertain that any
item of property is too small, he
shall increase the same to its true
value. If any taxpayer feels ag-
grieved at the valuation placed upon
any item of property by the tax as
SCISSOR, he shall complain to the Coun-
ty Commissioners at their meeting in
August, that the valuation may be
properly adjusted.
Section 2O.-All personal estate
liable to taxation, the value of which
shall not have been specified under
oath as aforesaid, shall be estimated
by the assessor at its true cash value
according to his best Judgment and
information, and his failure by neg
lect or refusal to make such estimate

and singuiarly enough many of her dreams came true

as he lay on a hard bed in miserable adobe hut, and
declared that his serious condition due to natten
ton She urged the bishop go once to New Mexico
and rescue the boy.
Obedient to his wifes Wishes Bishop Whipple went
southwark as fast as steam could carry him. At st.
Louis he found telegram awaiting him which read

anv time. Every moment is precious"
He followed directions and reached his sepsons side
lust in time The scene as Mrs. Whipple had de-
scribed it, The boy sick unto death pallet of
straw in an adobe hut What medical attention he had
received was doing him more harm than good.
1t was apparent that he could not survive another day
i'm such surroundings. Bishop Whippe had left in such
hurry that he had neglected to bring any money
than he needed for his bare travelling expenses In his
dilemma he went to the bank and told the cashier-a
manly young MeXican-his story. He needed money to
get his out of the country would the bank honor
draft?
The cashier was impressed with the recital. ANY
one tell by looking at face said he that you
are bishop of the church of God and that you speak
the truth. shall be glad to accommodate you. How
much money do you want?"
The bishop drew on the bank for $780, and he and the
sick man were soon their way north. The love to
God and man. the years of self-sacrce and unselfsh
service for others which had written their indebe his
