SAYS IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The Law Exemptins Vessels From Taxation
Enacted by the last LEGISLATURE.

The county attorney OF King county
has given the commissioners of that
county his opiniont that the law passed
by the legislative OF 1901 is repugnant to
the stateconstitution, and out OF har-
mony with the decisions OF the supreme
court. The law was intended to exempt
from taxation such vessels as ply ex.
clusively In the waters Of the state, and
the section upon which the opinion OF
the County Attorney Fulton is given
read as follows:
That ships or vessels registered in
any custom house OF the United States
within this state, which ships or vessels
are used exclusively in trade between
this state and OF the islands. districts,
territories, states OF the United states or
foreign countries, shall not be listed for
the purpose Of or subject to taxation in
this state, such vessels not being deemed
property within this state.
Speaking Of which, the attorney says
Il have to advise you, that in my opin-
ion, said section is unconstitutional in
this, that it violates sections and = OF
article OF the constitution OF this state
/ which sections declare that all property
not exempt under the laws OF the United
States nor under the constitution OF this
state shall be taxed, and that the legis-
lature shall provide uniform and equal
rate OF taxation on all property within
the state, provided. that deduction OF
debts from credits may be auth orized
and that the property OF the United
States and of the state, counties, school
districts and other municipal corpora
tions shall be exempt from taxation.
"The above sections have been con.
structed by the supreme court in the
case OF the state ex rel Chamberlain
ct al. vs. Daniel, Il Wn. Ill as not
authorizing the legislature to exempt
any private property from taxation.
| 1.-The section OF the law here in uues-
tion, in my opinion, is clearly an at
tempt on the part OF the legislature to
exempt private property from taxation.
"Any ship or vessel registered within
this state, under we'll settled principles
has its situs in this state for the pur-
| pose OF taxation, and it is not competent
for the legislature to declare that such
ship or vessel is not property within the
state, and thus to exempt it from taxa
ton.
"The recent constitutional amendment
has no application as this amendment
simply authorizes the legislature to ex.
empt personal property to the amount OF
$500 for each head OF a family liable to
assessment and taxation.
"This law being unconstitutional it is
not operative for any purpose. The as
SCISSOR may disregard the same, and pro-
coed as ii it had never been enacted

WHY NOT?

Senator Hoar has made it pretty clear
that he. for one, will not support the
proposed amendment OF the Constitution
for the elections OF the United States
senators by the people. As he has only
informally expressed his hostile views,
and the resolution is still buried in COM
mittee, no special reply is called for at
this time. But an objection has been pro-
posed by a Washington paper called the
Savings Journal, which might prove
useful 10 Mr.. Hoar and the other sena-
tors on his side OF the question. We
quote.
"When a man owes his election to Con-
gress directly TO the people, he feels un.
der obligations to those people and he
realizes that, if he fails to do what they
desire, he probably will not be e-elected.
So there has arisen in the national house
OF representatives tendency to shirk
certain unpopular legislation by forcing
the senate to take the definite steps. Ii
the senators should be elected by the
direct vote, they would probably be as
chary OF unpopular measures as the
representatives now are"
Nothing is lacking to make this point
decisive except an explanation OF why,
under "a government of the people, for
the people and by the people," legisla-
tive bodies should not be 'chary OF I'M.
popular measures.

On Monday night Lockett, Billie Coff-

/ Firth came to the room and demanded
admittance. and, climbing up on the
door glared in through the transon. To
this Miss Fanny demurred, and as the
demurrer was in the form OF pistol.
Firth ceased his clamor and left.
| The sight OF the gun was too much for
Lockett and he left the room in such a

! took his clothes to the room OF his friend
Coffman, in the same building, and
after dressing slipped down the fire es-
cape and went up town.
After the disappearance OF Lockett,
Miss Fanny admitted Firth to the sanct-

his invitation to partake OF lunch.
When dressing to go out, Fanny discov-

that all the parties were well lacked up
with booze, and there recollection OF the
events OF the night was somewhat hazy.
Fanny testified to having placed the
articles in the shoe afterwards found on
Lockett. Lockett explained that in his
hurried departure from the room he had
grabbed his clothes in his arms, and,
when he come to dress, he found the
tiny overshoe oil his inamorata mixed
up with his wardrobe, and that he put
it in his pocket with a view OF returning
it.
The accused was repre- ented by at

After hearing the testimony, Mr.. Hut

Meeting Mr.. Lockett with the theft was
adduced he would not be willing to file
an information. The Judge. however,
appeared to think differently. and held
the accused in 500 bail to answer in the

At this time when the anniversary oil
Jefferson's birth is being celebrated it is
well to note the difference between ma
tional expansion under jefferson, and
imperialism under President Roosevelt.
Jefferson favored the'annexation.o con-

American citizens and to be built into
American states. Roosevelt favors the
conquest OF remote islands, to be in
habited by subjects and to be held as
colonies, taxed without representation
and governed without the consent OF the
governed Jeffersons doctrine was in
harmony with the Declaration OF Indep-

THE GAMBLING INSTINCT.

So far as we know, the gambling
instinct is as old as humanity = it IS
certainly as old as history. There
were bookmakers of a sort in Nine
veh and Babylon, and Homer and his
"Iliad" distinctly alludes to betting
on sports. Tacitus tells us that the
ancient Germans and Our own ances-
tors, the Britons, when they had lost
everything else, would stake their
own liberty and that of their wives
and children on the hazard of the
game.
The laws Of ancient Rome strictly
forbade ali betting and gambling, yet
Anthony and Cleopatra made bets on
their luck in fishing, and Horace COM
plains more than once of the effeml-
macy of the gilded youth of Rome be-
cause they forsook manly sports and
warlike exercises for the attraction OF
the gaming tables. As is too much
the case with ourselves in the present
day, the youth of Rome left off play
ing games to watch them played and
to bet on them. The most fagrant
example of this was to be found IN
connection with the gladiatorial games
in the arena. Roman mobiles ana
plutocrats kept their fighting cham
pions. lust as our own keep their race
horses. It was no uncommon thing
for fortunes and even estates to be
gambled away on the issue OF sin
| gle combat.

The one thing needful is kind, con-
siderate heart without this quality
he will not realize the heaven of bliss
he anticipated for himself when she
should become the mistress of his
household.
1t does not pay to marry doubtful
characters. A clean record is what is
needed in husband or wife. once
heard a woman say if you can not
find man you can both respect and
love, you had best marry the one you
can respect, for respect will last long
er and grow brighter with age. I
have often thought Of this when I
have seen unequally yoked people
delicate, refined woman trying to
live with, and make much of, cross
grained man with bad habits or an
honorable, worthy man tied to hys-
terical, fault finding woman who
neither respects him nor the family to
which he belongs.
Love feeds and lives on good be-
havior and soon perishes without it.
You can not love man, even if he is
your husband, who does not provide
for you and use you kindly; nor can
a man love a wife who is indifferent
to his comfort and regardless of his
interests.
Only solid worth and deep-rooted
moral excellence can stand the test of
time and maintain the happiness one
is in pursuit of when venturing into
matrimony. Under the best circum-
stances the institution has thousand
avenues for trouble and vexation to
approach.
Let the young do some deep think
ing and take the matter into prayer

that is untiable.

KENTUCKY MOUNTAIN SCHOOL

A young teacher in Kentucky
mountain school, himself mountai,,
eer who had never been bevO,d tba
serrated horizon of the native w~is
gives his first experience with t.,
mountain district school as follows
1t was in the month of August,
1900, when 1 came to district school
in Dickerson county. The school
house was located near the centre of
the district. 1t was a log cabin about
sixteen feet square. 1t had scarcely
any roof on it, and there were no
seats when 1 first saw it. 1 visited
the patrons of the school and got
them to help me repair the house.
We rooted if as best we could and
made seats, aud I prepared to open
school the following Monday. had
seen all the patrons and insisted on
their sending their children to school,
though many of them saw very little
use init. Some of them told me their
children were so bad l would never
be able to teach, and others appeared
to be quite indifferent about the whole
matter.
"Of course, we were badly crowd
ed from the start. Sixty children in
a room sixteen feet square leaves very
little space, and by the end of the
week the attendance had increased to
seventy-fve. But the worst trouble
came from the lack of books. 1t was
bad enough, parents thought, to send
the children to school at all. To sup
ply them with books was out of the
question. This l tried to remedy by
having those who were in the same
class sit and study together, and also
by writing their lessons on the board.
cat last the county superintendent
came to visit my school, l knew he
was not very good scholar, not much
further advanced than some Of my
own pupils, but his visit frightened
me lust the same. He came in just
before noon. 1 gave the school up to
him and requested him to give us a
lecture. He came forward and said
"'All the children who are in favor
of having a new teacher to finish the
school will stand up on their feet.
"That was all he said. Luckily for
me, none of the children arose, and |
remained with the school to the end
of the term.

FACT AND FAD.

Now that the Belgian hare boom is
dead and buried, apparently beyond
prospect of immediate resurrection,
comes Mrs. Rorer, the exponent of
good cooking and expert on cooking
materials and methods, and not only
urges in her lectures the use of Bel
gian hare meat and cooks it before her
classes, but also has gone into the
business of raising hares on her farm,
intending to sell them next fall at 25
cents pound in the Philadelphia
market. The present price there is
said to be IS cents. She says, ac-
cording to a statement in the Bucks
county Mtellgenoe1 "The special
value of the flesh is its being highly
nutritious without being stimulating,
as rich in nitrogen as beef without the
stimulating quality thought deleteri-
Gus by physicians. The hare meat is
white, of delicate flavor, resembling
capon. 1t is now used in hotels and
private families. Canned hare meat
is also being placed on the market"
All this is only in line with my
earlier remarks and expressions on
this subject, says T. Greiner in Fam
and FireSide. The Belgian hare, after
first being ignored, then extravagant-
ly doomed and denounced, will final
ly find the true level of its worth.
There certainly is a place for it in
rural and domestic economy which it
can and will fill This at least is the
conclusion at which have finally ar
rived. Give the hare reputation as
"health food," and its new boom will
be assured. Whether Mrs. Rorer,
however, will find it quite so easy a
task to raise the Belgians as she evil
IDENTIFY and possibly without much
practical experience supposes is in my
estimation not quite so certain. The
recent Belgian hare boomers have ad-
vertised the animal as practically ex-
empt from disease. We used to find
it so years ago. Then we could null
tiply them and especially the crosses
between Belgian males and common
rabbit females-which for meat pnsu
poses are practically equal to the q IRE
bred Belgians-at pleasure boz i,
confinement and in orchaHSs ond
groves outdoors. But times baua
changed. Some disease. the natrre
of which we do not understand car
ries OFT the young etock by the whole
sale and without previous warnino
when kept in confinement and kills
many oldeD ones. We simply find
the animals dead in their pens. The
matter of feeding seems to make no
difference either.

GOODBYE.

Goodbye, goodbye It is the sweetest blessing
That falls from mortal lips on mortal ear,
The weakness of our human love confessing,
The promise that love more strong Is near.
May God be with you!
Why do we say it when the tears are starting2
Why must word so sweet bring only pain?
Our loves seems all-suffcient till the parting,
And then we feel it impotent and vain.
May God be with you
oh may He guide and bless and keep you ever,
He who is strong to battle with your foes
Whoever fails, His love can fail you never,
And all your need He In His wisdom knows.
May God be with you
Better than earthly presence, cen the dearest,
Is the great blessing that our partings bring;
For in the loneliest moments God is nearest,
And from our sorrows heavenly comforts
spring.
If God be with us
Goodbye, goodbyel With latest breath we say it,
A legacy of hope and faith and love.
Parting must come, we cannot long delay it;
But one in Him, we hope to meet above,
If God be with us
Goodbye 'Tis all we have for one another;
Our love, more strong than death, is helpless
For none can take the burden from his brother,
Or shield, except by prayer, from any i'll.
May God be with you
