But if the Roosevelt Commercial
Appeal idea is correct, Roosevelt
would have perfect right to appoint

PEELED to go to Covington after their

the offices might as we'll be filled by

certainly ought to be recognized as

partnership with Roosevelt compel it

tic fashion, or is this it's real senti-
ment on the race question? What

COUNTY NEWS NOTES.
STAR.

The new year is here in fact, and
what it NAV bring forth is impossible
for any to know or foresee. We may
he suro though that there are great op-
portunities and possibilities wrapped
in it's fold for all who do their best.
The old year was fraught with ex-
tremes of heat and cold, of drought
and flood i'll our state and county.
IL we take a world wide view it
stands out as one of appalling disas-
tiers in the destruction of lives and
property. But retrospection of ghast-
ly events of the past are probably in
tended to reveal to us in our dishonest
pursuit of worldly gain and power the
hand of the "Great Unseen. Let
him who is using all of his best
efforts take courage and be sure that
no sustained honest effort ever failed
of reward, though often long delayed.
In this connection l want to COM
mend our supervisors for trying to get
remedy for the naturalization of
both real and personal property by so
many people when the assessor comes
around. 1t is a standing shame that
many-even some who are members
of church-will perjure themselves
by swearing that their property is
half value.
I don't think the trouble is confined
to any one class or profession, but
suspect that the Dutchman, the white
man and niger with all the rest are
guilty. ~
We are always ready to kick al
anything that makes high taxes, but
how can taxes be anything els but
high when only half valuation is
given to property-a some not
given in at all.
Verify! Verify! If the pulpits dc
not open their batteriaes on these
fostering iniquities and "Show my
people their sins,'' some will find a
shot times in the old-not town-to-
night "where the worm dieth not
and the fire is not quenched.
Oh! we need mothers and fathers
who will teach the child from It's
cradle simply truth and honesty, and
faith and trust in God.
some times fear that in our ex-
treme anxiety to make the truth ap-
pear we'll and attractive we cl the it
III too snowy apparel, and fail in our
object because some think the whole
thing a mere show.
Then there are still others who
were born SO modest that they won't
look at the naked truth at adjust
merely glance at it sidewise once or
twice in life time.
O yes; we need mothers and fathers
who will not "Stoop to conquer
themselves and that will teach the
child that it is dishonorable and
dishonest.
'Rah for "Dixie Doodle'' and 'sTee
Pee I" Come again.
If your Virgil correspondent is in
earnest about "a dog fight if he was
in the next Legislature" I move his
unanimous election to that body, and
when you start provide yourself with
a can of kerosene oil, for you will get
covered all over with fieas, I fear.

There seems to be disposition on

we want statewide prohibition, and
all denominations can agree on that
without referring to tho text of
the original. A loving wife, and
sweet children are all the incentives
that christian gentleman ought to
need to shape his vote on the liquor
question. We want good road laws,
school laws, poll tax laws, and, and,
dog tax law. Oh the dogs, the

They are in town and country, village

in favor of taxing this noble gentry,

by our interrogation, for it states speci
lically, on what questions women are
permitted to vote, and the right to vote
for the election of director is not
given.
If the legislature had the authority
to give to women the right to vote for
director, that right would not have
been conferred by said section, because
not included within the powers granted
them, for it is rule of construction of
statutes, that "the express mention of
one thing implies the exclusion of an
other"
There is no constitutional provision
that prohibits woman from holding
the office of school director, or that pro-
hiblts the legislature from enacting o
law giving her that right, and therefore
under Section 2749 of the Code, a
woman who possesses the prescribed
qualifications may be elected director
by the qualified (male) voters, and al
though she is precluded from voting
for herself or her competitor, will If
elected have all the rights, powers and
privileges, possessed by a masculine
director.
