Among the Children.

Owen England, constable, and lately
appointed truant officer by the county
school authorities, has begun an active
campaign against truancy.
A number of schools have been visited
and lectures, embodying crorIi"m, mid
die of the-road and uitimot"m, delivered
to the pupils present. partly i'll order
that pupils absent, hearing of his pro-
gramme, must either go to school or
move into the next county.
The law applies to all children under
II years Of age who, for any reason en-
cept absence in foreign land, sickness
or death. stay from school.
Mr.. Englands policy toward the chill
dren and that of the grand jury toward
the mine officials seem to be the same
persuasive one.
That is, the law in Mr.. England :
hands treats children as children, while
the law in the grand jury hands treats
mine officials as prattlers that ought to
be old enough to quit prattling.

The Water SuDDy.

Friday, April II, last, the big reser.

out through the upper exit provided fol
relief when hiSh-watcr mark is sub

This was not occasioned by drainage
but by tho supply from the tributary

gallons an hour.
The pump, sending over 10000 gal

The Best Law.

ocratic and republican, sacred and pro-
fame, positive and negative, etc, de-
nounced by Dick, approved by the Mid
land Press. a democratic measure adj
,ninistered by pretty slick democrat,
and the grand jury, doubtless hearing
hath sides from democratic authority,
pronounces it "a vast improvement
over any previous laws enacted.
Yet Officials and ''weighmaSters
are referred" to eight Sections of two
Articles and requested to rc"c"g any
and all violations that have been re-
ported to this grand jury before the
next grand jury convenes.
So far as known the current law pro-
hibiting larceny is the best law ever en-
acted. vet larceners We're not ''rcferred
to ITS provisions nor requested TO be-
have, or the next grand jury might not
abdicate its functions to the Officials,
etc, to remedy etc, before the
grand jury, still next, sits.
In the JOURNALS legally unframed
Judgment, however, the question
whether the current law is ''the best
ever enacted" is not before the house,
and never has been.
Rather-has "oH mining law ever
been enforced:
Or if attempts have been made t" en-
force, have they not been thwarted by
those Mentors of party consistency, the
corporation lawyers:
The end of the argument is-thc best
law is no better than the worst if not
enforced
Intrinsically, the best law merits en-
fOrcement.

Taxes.

The ''eXplanatory note given at the
conclusion Of the levy list, issued last
week, leaves little to state concerning
the occasion of rate of county taxation
so high as .23.
Nearly $4,000 of expenditures above
routine had to be provided for.
One factor not stated is thiS--;hat
while the basis is steadily augmcnting
nounced us many think it should be
owing to losses. generally heavy, which
now and then occur. In one instance
alone within the last year the sum of
S6O0,OOO was stricken otf-il coal prop
erty practically exhausted.
Always and everywhere it seems
easier to get big properties off than on
the tax list.
The assessed wealth of Allcgany
county is about one-third its real wealth,
Hence, two-thirds going untaxed, the
tax rate is Si.23 instead of II cents.
In looking around for commissioners,
therefore, the people ought to find three
men who not only know how to live
within the cOunty'S income, but who
can and will locate" and bring to
book W property which pays nothing
for the only thing that gives it value
