directed by me and by them to en-
force the law as it stands. AS the
tax commission clearly states, it is
not their duty, your duty or mine,
to say that a law is uncOnstitu-
tional. 1t is our duty to enforce
the law as we find it. The tax COM
mission says that assessors have no
discretion whatever. They must
assess the mortgages separately, to
the owners of the mortgages, unless
directed by the owner Of the land
to assess the value of the mortgage
interest, and his interest to him. 1t
is greatly to be regretted that some
OF the county supervisors of assess
ments have acted as if they felt that
they were the agents and employers
of tax dodgers. Assessment officers
should stand for strict enforcement
Of the law. He should have no
enemies to punish, and no friends
to reward. The question between
mortgagor and mortgage, as to
who should pay the tax ultimately,
is for the courts to decide, and not
to be decided by the assessors. The
owner of the mortgage must pay
the tax whether he can afterwards
compel the owner of the land to
repay him or not. The legal effect
of this law, as applied to clauses in
the mortgage agreeing to pay taxes
on the land, is question for the
courts to decide and not the assessor,
or other taxing officers.

Washing Dishes-A Fable.

Genevieve was a Swell Doll. She
never look kindly to the Menial and
Ordinary Duties of Life, and when
her Mother was Washing the Dishes.
Genevieve was usually Curling her
Hair or singing, MY Mothers
Beautiful Hands," At school she
was considered Stupid and was
never known to have her Lessons,
but one day when taken to task by
the Professor, for the Lack Of Inter
est manifested in her Studies, she
politely told him that he had Bats
in his Belfry, and Graduated. After
that Genevieve Cut Loose from
everything but Music, and the
Neighbors averred that she was
Screeching All DayLong and Ought
to be Guaranteed. One day the
Manager of Large Theatre in Bos-
ton came to Lancaster to Subscribe
for the Herald and while walking
down the street, he head Genevieve's
Voice as it foated across the block.
He Immediately sought an Acquain-
lance and engaged her to Sing on
the Stage at a Salary of One Thou
sand Dollars a Week. The Swell
Doll gave all her Male Admirers the
High Ball and joined the Effete
East. After she had accumulated a
Goodly Number of Simoleons she
married a Foreign Nobleman who
had Credit and Dilapidated Title
that was Proof against the x Ray.
Now Genevieve lives in a Castle and
has Seven Maids to Wash the Dishes
and Two to Curl her Hair.
Moral-If you intend to be Swell
Doll, never Wash Dishes. 1t Spells
the Voice.

Not Enough TO quarter.

Senator Tillman tells Of an old
darby in his employ that he once per-
mitted to make use of certain land for
farming purposes, on condition that
the darby should give to the senator
one-fourth of the crop raised.
At the harvesting of the crop the
senator was amazed to find that the
darby had not kept his part of the
agreement, for, while he hauled away
three wagon loads of produce, he had
not sent single one to the senator's
barn. Tilman called the negro's at
tention to the fact that he had taken
the entire crop, asking:
"Now, how's that, Zeb? Wasn't l
to receive fourth of the crop?"
"You was, Massa Tillman, you
was" eXcitedly exclaimed the darby;
"but dere's only three loads, sab, only
three loads of de crop."-New York
Times.

Letter to Assessors.

To The ASSESSORS OF GRANT
COUNTY, have just received a
circular from the tax commission,
printed in our Milwaukee daily pa
pers of June 10, 1908. I desire to
call your attention to this circular
at this time for several reasons. l
have seen two published notices
from supervisors of assessments of
other counties directing assessors
to violate the provisions of Chapter
$40, Laws of 1908, with reference to
mortgage taxation. AS I have
given you directions as
to the meaning and purpose of this
law, and the manner in which it
should be enforced, it affords me
some satisfaction to inform you that
the tax commission has confirmed
my instructions to you, and you are

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
Large Attendance at Ceremonies Held
Here Sunday. Many Present
from Other Camps.

In the midst of the teeming con-
fict waged for self ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and personal reward seen on every
hand each day, it is indeed most
fitting and strikingly beautiful in
contrast with the dominant spirit
of the times that Modern Woodmen
set apart and dedicate each year
one day of tender devotion to the
remembrance of those of their order
who have paid. the memorable
penalty of natures law-death, and
in line, the auxiliary of this noble
organization, the Royal Neighbors,
affiliate in the ceremonies.
The underlying principles of
Woodcraft are founded on the
greatest of all human virtues
charity. Woodmen are banded to-
gether for the lofty purpose Of lend
ing helping hand and utterirg ex-
pressions of sympathy to the family
of the deceased neighbor in their
darkest hour When sorrow and
trouble come, when the sky Of
human happiness reflects not a
single ray of light, Woodcraft adj
ministers to and consoles those
bereft. To the home of the de-
parted, perhaps to a dependent
widow and orphans, comes the
amount of the benefit certificate
held by the deceased, the contribu-
ton from over half million OF this
great benevolent order, and in
many cases it serves to drive from
the neighbours late abode the prlva-
tions Of poverty and want.
In keeping with these charitable
motives a day is set apart each year.
| usually Sunday, when those Of the.
orders who have passed away are
remem bered and their graves strewn
with floral offerings, and Sylvan
camp and Eva camp of the Wood
men and Neighbors Of Lancaster
demonstrated the regard they enter
tain for loved ones gone to their
last rest Sunday by observing
this custom.
Large representations of both
orders assembled at the lodge
rooms at p. M, and marched to
the Congregational church, where
services appropriate to the occasion
were held. Revs. Ralph and Spra-
que spoke kindly sentiments End
the musical numbers were well re-
ceived At conclusion of the cere-
monies procession was formed and
the gathering marched to the ceme-
terry where the grassy mounds oc-
cupied by all that is mortal of the
beloved neighbors were covered
with flowers and wreaths.
Twelve members of Sylvan camp
have passed away Of these, eight
are buried in the Lancaster ceme-
tery-Andrew Walker, J. H. Miles,
John Duncan, r. B. Gillespie, DR..
F. E. Strong, Geo. Damn, O. P.
Walker and A. w. A. Block. J..H.
Bark is buried in Little Grant ceme-
terry, John Humphrey lies in Patch

Wall in far-off Alaska.
Two Royal Neighbors of Eva
camp-Ocea Ray and Rose Kinzel,
rest in the cemetery here. Mrs.
Sylvester Belscamper of Beetown
camp is buried in Lancaster and her
grave was also decorated.
Despite the inclement wealth er
the services were well attended and
the occasion one that will dwell in
memory for many day.

Cremation ends the race of life
with dead heat.
The Seattle Republican., 1903-09-04

The employees Of the Seattle Electric Co. who had
the hardhood to draw out of the Seattle Street Rail-
way Employees Union and organize another on broad
er and more conservative plans to be recommended
1t is readily why broadmnded liberal persons
could not feel satisfied with the old organization
There never any sufficient reason for the strike
last spring, and the threatened strike now is as
wholly without excuse, granting at the time
that the company has not lived up to demands in all
things. The public believes in organized labor, and
is in sympathy with all reasonable demands on the
part of the aboring classes Notwithstanding the
noise the streets, and the presence of 81 walk
badges during the last strike public sentiment was
not with the strikers Much less will it be with them
if the socaled trouble now pending results in another
strike.
The declaration of principles set forth by the
order, The Seattle Tranmen's Union appeals to the
heart of every reasonable man, employer employee
and if they will continue on that same reasonable
basis they may expect receive proper consideration
The declaration that they propose try and get what
they feel they should have especially increase in
wages, without show of force inconvenience the
general public is especially gratifying. If they will
manage to keep the good will of the public any reason
able demand is one-half won. Then the other state
ment to effect that they do not propose to try
the companys end of the business by demanding every
employe shall Join their union, is commendable. Men
who do not choose to join union have right to
live and labor notwithstanding the verdict of certain
labor organizations to the contrary The Trainmen's
Union has started out on the right principles
