SHEM AND
THE SHEMITES
Historical and Enter aiming
Address by Rev. Edison
Last Night

Rev. Edison delivered a very inter
esting sermon last night on the sub
ject of Shem and the Shemites, taking
for a text. Genesis 1871, These are
the sons of Shem, after their families,
after their tongues, in their lands, af-
ter their nations" The thread of the
discourse is represented in the fol-
Lowing brief synopsis:
"Shem seems to have been Noah's
youngest boy, though, in our thought,
as well as in the bible references, his
name usually comes first. The reason
for this will appear as we proceed
with the address. We have been apt
in learning the fact, so clearly ex-
pressed by the Apostle Paul in his
mastery address before the Areopa
Cite, that God hath made of one blood
all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth.' but we have
been prone to overlook the next state
ment, which is. that He has also ap-
pointed The bounds of their habita-
ticn.' 1t is a fact, however, that the
dispersion was under the direction of
God, and that He gave to each of the
three sons of Noah his portion of the
habitable globe. In this allotment
Shem appears to have been highly IA
vored, receiving the rich country we
now call Asia.
LAS our line of thought is neces-
sarily more a study of ethnology than
of ethnography, we shall content our
selves with speaking of the shemites
as the real settlers of Asia. Think
OF the charming scenery, the rich soil,
the salubrious climate, the mineral
wealth and the marvellous resources or
that wonderland, and then attempt to
estimate Gods gift to the children of
Shem.
And Shem has proven a great bles-
sing to his two big brothers. He has
furnished the seed that has covered
our broad acres with wheat, as well as
furnishing the horses with which We
have plowed the ground. He gave us
rice, tea, cotton, silk, many kinds OF
fruit, gun powder, the mariners COM
pass, as well as many of our dishes,
drugs, and fancy articles. The Chinese
practiced the art of printing nine hun
dred years before it was discovered in
Europe.
''Of the sciences, so highly priced by
us, we are indebted to the shemites
for astronomy, geography. music,
chemistry and botany.
These Asiatics have also been a
great literary people. and we owe
knowledge.
Shem has proven himself a very
pfous youth-much more so than eth
er of his brothers. See with what de-
votion he has followed the different
religions of the Orient.
But we have reserved to the last
mention of the two great blessings
that have shone upon us from the
land of the morning sun. the Jewish
scriptures, which have come to US
through the descendants of Abraham.
and Jesus, the Jew, whose life and
teaching have revolutionized the
thought of the world. lie has shown
ms how 10 live for time and hope for
eternity.
$50 we say. God bless you. Shem.
you are deserving of better treatment
than YOU are now receiving

AFTER THE
ASSESSORS
Carson News Says District
Attorney viii be Supported
by Revenue Board

Carson News, Saturday, September
26: District Attorney Warren of
Humboldt county arrived in Carson
City this morning for a consultation
with the state board of revenue.
Mr.. Warren is from a county where
the railroad has considerable say In
all matters relating to its own valu-
alton for taxation purposes, and the
other day when he appeared before
the county commissioners in session
as a board of equalization, with a pro-
test against the cinching OF the hon
est taxpayers of the county, for the
benefit of the Central Pacific company
he did something that was not accord
ing to the Humboldt idea of doing
things.
Among other discrepancies Mr.
Warren noted that the railroad was
assessed on its unpatented lands on
valuation of only five cents per acre.
Now land that is not worth over five
cents per acre, or twenty acres for
dollar, is pretty cheap land at best,
but what Mr.. Warren couldn't get
though his head was why, when the
railroad paid on five cents an acre,
other owners of precisely the same
same lands in the same county were
assessed at twenty cents per acre or
just four times as mich. OF course
all of the assessors in the railroad
counties can see and understand why
the railroad should escape their just
share of the burden of taxation, but
Mr. Warren is somewhat thick headed
in this respect and he had to have 1t
explained to him. The explanation is
still forthcoming.
The county commissioners dropped
District Attorneys Warren's protest
like red hot stove, without taking
any action upon OF, but the district
attorney did not propose to allow the
matter to rest there, and he has
brought it to the attention of the state
board, which has given assurance of
support, and SO the state will probably
bring the action in it's own name. AS
at the same rate as other people are
assessed at, will increase the valua-
tion of the county some 100000, and
the increase to the state on its share
will be something like $4,000, a sum
we'll worth going after.
MIR. Warren in speaking of the af-
fair today said:
First of all / am sorry if anything
of a personal nature has entered in
to this controversy. | have no tight
with any individual. All ask is tha.
the railroad people shall be treated
nc better or worse than any resident
individual taxpayer in Humboldt is
treated. Just make it equal. That is
ali | am working for and propose
to accomplish It,"
When 1t is considered that over
100000 acres of railroad land In
Humboldt county escapes taxation al
together, as being unsurveyed, it does
appear that Mr. Warren's position is
we'll sustained.
Mr. Warren was not elected dis
trfct attorney of Humboldt-he was
appointed to fill vacancy caused by
resignation. He stated at the time
the appointment was rendered him
that he did not want it, but if he was
selected he would do his duty. IL Is
not likely that the powers that be
will even tender him similar APP
pcintment under similar conditions
again; but the people of his county
are with him heart and soul, as they
should be in this affair.

The Prohibition Party National Com.
mittee in Session at Chicago.
Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 16.-Pursuanr
to the call of Chairman Oliver w.
Stewart the members of the Prohi-
bition National Committee went in
to session at the Auditorium Hotel
this morning for the purpose of de-
Gliding upon the date and place for
holding the party's national conven-
ton next year. The national o
vention of the prohibitionists always
draws a large crowd. and as a conse-
quence the convention is sought by
many cities 1t is an open fight this
year with more than half a dozen
cities among the contestants. Chica-
go, of course. is regarded as a strong
competitor, and st. Louis is another
city that is frequently mentioned as
a likely meeting place for the pro-
hibitionists. There appears, however,
to be a strong sentiment among the
| committeeman in favor of holding
| the convention in some smaller city
The supporters of this idea argue
| that if the prohibitionists meet in
| the same city as either the Republi.
cans or Democrats they will be
| obliged to take second place and will
not receive as much attention as
| they would if the convention were
held elsewhere. There are a number

ding for the convention and if the
| sentiment against Chicago and ST
Louis prevails, a fine field for the
choice of a suitable meeting place

toned, and all of which have dele

more and Buffalo also are in the
race, but some of the committeeman

that the selection of a city more

| the interests of the party.

The Sheldon Failure.

R. w. Ady Of Sheldon has been ap-
pointed receiver for the Sheldon State
bank. which failed last week, upon ap-
plication Of Attorney w. D. Boles. The
bank was an old institution and the
failure caused the greatest surprise,
especially because Of the prominence
of Ed c. Brown, president, now rail.
road commissioner. Attorney Boles
said: THE bank has about 1925, 900 as.
sets and $175,0O0 liabilities in the form
OF deposits. The cause of the failure
is simply that there has been a prac-
teal failure of crops in this section for
two years. The paper in the bank
was largely given by farmers; good.
but too slow Of collection in these
times Of poor crops. The bank will
pay out, but consider it doubtful
whether 1t has much chance Of being
reopened.

Complete returns from every county
IN Iowa show Governor Cummins' plu-

candidate for governor, to be 80,S02.
The size Of the plurality was a sur
prise in all quarters. Governor Cum

rality of 10000 or more, but at Re-
publican headquarters no more than
10000 was claimed at any time, while
at Democratic headquarters not more
than 10000 was conceded. In large
measure the result is considered a
personal victory for Governor Cum
minis.
Governor Cummins ran somewhat
ahead of the remainder of the Repub-
lican state ticket. The Democrats
will have twenty-three of the 100 men,
bers OF the next house, gain of six,
and eight of the fifty members of the
senate, loss of two.
