Senator Vest.

The expected has come at last in the
death of George G.. Vest, former I'm
tied States senator from Missouri
For weeks he has been lowering be-
tween life and death. but his great fac
ulties shone in undimmed lustre until
Sunday morning when he sank into a
state of coma from which he never
aroused.
Mr.. Vest served FIVE terms in the
senate and he could have secured a
sixth term had he not refused on ac-
count of declining years. His course in
the senate was that of sincere and
patriotic man. Honesty was the prin-
ciple that controlled his senatorial
career. He was a bitter foe of the
Force bill and it was Senator Vest
who induced Senator Quay to turn
against the hideous measure, although
it was sanctioned by Republican ad-
Mr.. Vests long and
useful career in the senate is rivaled
only by that of Thomas II. Benton.

Inequality of Tax Values.


Figures are published In this issue
giving the assessed value of the leading
interpretations of Stark county for the
purpose of taxation. The observant
reader will at once notice the fact that
the Morgan Engineering works Of Al
lance, one of the largest of its kinds
in the United States. a concern that
handles large government contracts
and is thoroughly equipped in eve"y de-
partment to do heavy and intricate
work, is assessed at but $149,1S0, while
the Aultman works OF Canton is on
the tax duplicate for s29O,5O2, or very
neatly twice as much as the Alliance
concern.
The Dueber works is on the dupli-
cate for $2l8,520, the Diebold Safe &
Lock Co. for $l91, ,7s0. both greatly in
excess of tie Morgan works. b. way
of comparison it might be noted that
the Canton Brewing company is as
sessed at over $4,000, or more than
half that of the big concern in the
east end Of the city.

The project to raise s25,000 to pur-
chase a silver service in this state for
the battleship Ohio is not meet
ing with much encouragement. A
little less than half the amount
has been raised When it is considered
that other states have purchased sill
Yer services, libraries and other equip
ment for ships named after them for
from $4,000 to $4,000 the amount asked
in this state is considerably larger
than is necessary. The plans were too
elaborate in the outset, The purchas-
ing of silver service for a battleship
is prompted by sentiment that bor-
ders very closely upon the silly order.
Such a service is of no practical value.
A library for the men would be much
moio sensible. Silvorware would not
reach the men behind the guns and
would in all probability be kept locked
up in a strong box except upon state
occasions. The lack of 1t would not
affect the fighting qualities Of the Ohio.

Extra Police Laid OF.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. 9-Fifty extra
policemen engaged to do duty in the
packing house district during the
strike, were laid off today. The po-
lice commissioners think that the sit
uation can be controiied by ...e regular
men and twenty specials, WHO will be
kept until the end of the week, unless
fresh trouble breaks out More strik-
ers returned to work today. The pack
ers say they need but few more men,
and expect to secure these soon.

Good Roads.


There is project on foot to give ma
tional aid in the construction of per.
manent highways which should be car
ried out to the fullest limit that the
finances Of the country will allow. In
ternal improvements are needed in this
country. Millions are given to the
lakes and rivers to facilitate the pro-
ducts of the farms, factories and mines,
yet absolutely nothing is done for the
producers who nappen to live inland
1t is nothing more than common jus.
tice and equality that these expendi-
lures should be equalized. The building
of highways would enrich the country.
This fact Is realized in European
countries wnere the roads never get
bad, no matter what the weather con-
ditions.
In Ohio there are laws recently en-
acted whereby the state, the county,
the townships and the individuals
most vitality affected can go together
and construct permanent roads, and II
the national government were to
make an appropriation each year to
individual states for this purpose It
would not be long until a marked i'm
provement would be noticeable In the
highways.

Their determination would be great
thing for the farmers in some sections.

Some of the latest war news is a
fortnight old and then is Of doubtful
character. Russia is reported rejoic-
ing over reports that the Japs lost
heavily in the assaults upon Port Ar

BY this time they should know that II
there are 10000 dead Japs along the
firing line, there are lot of defunct

hood.
