AN OUTRAGEOUS LEVY.

GAIT LAKE COUNTY-S board OF
- commissioners on Friday fixed the
levy For 1903. Contrary to public ex-
pectations, the board failed to make
any diminution of the levy of last year.
This year. as in 1902, the county taxes
viii be 81 mills on every dollars worth
Of property. Just how outrageously
excessive this levy is the most casual
inspection of the countys financial sit
Uation viii show. There is IN Increase
of the valuation of the county Of
N,OS2,05z this year, as compared with
1902; in other words, an increase Of
over S5a per cent more money than last
year. This increase viii amount to APP
proximately $4,000. But even this
VIII be bettered, as the county board
has recently wiped out several hundred
thousands of dollars of mortgage valu-
atoms on which it was impossible to
secure the payment Of taxes. As a re-
suit, the collection Of taxes viii be
much closer this year than ever be-
fore, since there win be no uncollect-
ible mortgage tax to be charged off.
At the beginning of the year there
was about $4,000 on hand in the county
treasury, and there have been no un-
usual expenses to meet this year. In
1902 there was an election which COST
from $4,000 to $4,000, probably about
$4,000; there is no election this year.
Neither is there anything else to call
for an extraordinary outlay. Yet the
people of the county are asked to pay
what amounts to an increase Of over
81 per cent in their county taxes
alone, and this in a year that began
with a substantial balance in the
county treasury and which requires the
expenditure Of no especial fund for
emergency purposes.
With anything approaching careful
fnanciering and decent regard for the
tax-paying public, the county board
could easily have reduced the tax levy
10 per cent. Even a 10 per cent reduc-
ton would supply more money than
can legitimately be required in a year
that does not necessitate provision
being made for an election.
Just what purpose actuates the
county board in making this excessive
levy is difficult to understand. No mat
ter what explanation may be essayed,
the levy is a shame to the men ~ho
made II and an imposition on the pub
lie who will have to pay it.

T HE MARVELLOUS VITALITY Of
L Pope Leo is the wonder of the
civilized world. Tie tenacity of life
manifested by the aged pontiff, who
~ 9S is making a resistance against
disease that would do credit to n
strong man in his prime, has been COM
mented everywhere and by everyone
who has been following the progress
OF his illness. To an indomitable
pluck, 10 q viii that acknowledges no
defeat, may be partly attributed the
gallant fight he is making, but back o.
i. there is something elsa body kept
strong and pure by proper conduct
proper care and proper thinking for
nearly a century. Pope Leo was born
o. a good family to begin with. good
family does not necessarily mean a
noble family. but it means a long line
of people who respected their minds
ard bodies enough to take care of
them, the inevitable result being men
and women who began life with every
thing in their favor. Pope Leo was
born with no handicap in the way of
in health or deformity. He inherited
a sound body and a right mind, and he
took care of both throughout his life.
His natural strength was conserved
by a regular life. 1t is said that his
meals cost less than 20 cents per day
His habits were almost as regular as
clOckwork. Into his life there came no
excuses either OF body or mind, but
he lived always simply and TRANQUILITY.
His body and his mind were not al
ways recuperating from some grew
Gus shock. He was not continually get
ting into condition again after some
heavy dinner, some drinking bout,
some bitter quarrel. He attuned his
body and mind to nature and to God,
with the natural result that he reached
a graceful old age, better fitted to cope
with sickness than the majority OF men
half his age. The splendid fight the
venerable pontiff is making against
his impending dissolution, the remark
able physical and mental power he has
retained through all have awakened
the admiration OF all classes and all
creeds. The case Of Pope Leo furnishes
a splendid object lesson Of what right
living and right thinking means.

The Indianola postoffice trouble APP
pears to have been settled for the
present administration at least. This
is the Office, II will be remembered, to
which President Roosevelt appointed a
coIored postmistress. Citizens of the
town objected to the postmistress and
endeavored to have her removed. They
failed in this. but ultimately succeeded
in having the Office closed entirely, SO
that though they got rid of the official,
offensive because Of her color, they at
the same time were deprived of the Of
flee. Since the elimination of the Of
flee the Indianolans have been receiv-
ing their mail from nearby towns. Re
Gently they organized a mail system of
their own. They now have their mail
sent to Heathman. four miles distant
from Indianola. whence their letters,
papers and packages are brought twice
daily to their doors. The mail is car
ried by a cOlored man, so that Indian
ola now has a colored postman of its
own choosing instead Of the colored
pOstmistress Of President Roosevelt's
selection.

Archibald J. Scion was a well known
and capable jurist who lived in Athens
about 500 B. c. and did very good work
He was native of the island of Sala-
mis-, and after the Spartans conquered
it and gave it to the Athenians. Scion
put an advertisement in all the Athe-
nianpapers to the effect that he was
mainly responsible for the winning of
the island. He was employed later to
reconstruct the political fabric of
Athens and made sweeping changes.
Being gentleman Of considerable fore
thought. Mr.. Scion so arranged things
that only the rich could hold office. he
getting a regular percentage of all
rake-offs and a fair proportion Of the
campaign funds. In his later years he
made a personally conducted tour
through Egypt, Cyprus and Asia, gath
ering several new ideas and a large
collection of trunk labels. Returning
to Athens, he was startled to note that
tire place was still running, though his
system had been discarded. He took a
lavish knock at this situation and died,
leaving many admirers. Mr.. Scion oc-
casionally did a little turn with the
muse and some of his poems were said
to be real good.
