YOUNG LADY
RECEIVES REBUFF

\ certain rod wielder, who claims
Fallon as her present place of residence,
held a conversation with one OF our
young men recently by means OF the
telephone, in which she exhibited a
morbid curiosity which led her to try to
ascertain just how the young man held
her in his affections, and sought to acquire
the desired information by imperson-
ating one Of our rural educators. The
conversation is given as sollows
"Hello, Mr.. Blank this is Miss So and
So, say do you know Miss Dignifed OF
your town.
yes" replied the young man,
"know her well"
"What kind of girl is she?'
"Pretty fine, replied the young man
in question.
ooh tee hee do you like her?" The
popular one protested allegiance.
Say, how old do you think she is,
now really and truly"
Well quoth the young man, "Speak-
ing in confidence, she must be about
forty The telephone receiver dropped
and in addition to the sighing OF the
wind, the young man could distinguish
muflled sobs. Woman's vanity had re-
ceived cruel blow.

DIES AT
COUNTY HOSPITAL

James Wright, a ditch worker died
at the county hospital Wednesday
morning from typhoid fever, aged
about 81 years. Little is known Of the
deceased save that disclosed by two
military discharges found among his
belongings. They show that he
served his country honorably through
out two terms of enlistment, two
years, being spent in the deblitat-
ing climate OF the Philippines, which
was no doubt responsible to II large
extent for his early DEATH
lie was mustered out of the service
last year, at Fort Presidio.
The unfortunate man was buried
Wednesday at the expense of the
county, and one who served his country
honorably and well now sleeps in a
paupers grave. No blame is due the
county officials for neglect, They have
exercised all their power in the care
of Wright, and his burial was all that
the law allows for those who are de-
pendent upon charity for care, but,
laying aside hero worship, it occurs to
us that man who serves his country
faithfully in time of need deserves more
than passing mention, and should be
accorded a burial more in keeping with
his record as a soldier

Tax Rate Is Lower Than Elsewhere
ss In the State.

The county officers have completed
the apportionment OF the tax fund
which would have totaled s26, ,3S6l4 had
all money levied been paid, however Of
this amount S23 1856. II has been paid to
the treasurer. Ofthe total amount $l2.-
604.S5 belong to the state and the first
payment will be forwarded to the state
treasurer next week. An equal amount
will be used for general county purposes
while Sl,l76.44 will go towards paying
for the new court house building.
Ghurchillcounty' tax rate is one OF the
lowest in the state, as the total sum
mentioned, less the poll tax RECEIPTS, is
realized ON a total assessed value OF 81
csc, ,646, 1921 1851 being the ylaue of real
estate, while the personal property is
figured at 81 ,159 800.
More than $4,000 was realized from
poll taxes, the records showing that $50
receipts had been issued. This isa
pretty fair index to the county's present
permanent male population. The assess
or states that it has been exceedinly
hard to collect poll taxes from employees
connected with government construction
work, and the receipts from this source
have been meager.
The county's tax payers always re-
spond literally as is evidenced by the
fact that OF the total amount OF taxes
but $l95.50 is delinquent.

"Why Are We Imperialistic ?" is the
title OF the leading article in the Interna-
tional Journal Of Ethics for October. 1t
is by Prof. James II. Hyslop, and is well
worth realing. Prof. Hyslop seeks to GO
o the bottom OF the matter, and his
very thoughtful paper must be read
throughout to be fully apprehended
The anti-imperialists, he says, "stand
for the old moral ideas. They are trying
20 stem the tide against them by appeals
standards which are no longer effect.
We" In attempting to account for the
change, he SAYS: THE full answer to
this question is a complex aone, but the
fundamental cause is an alteration in
religious beliefs" and his conclusion is
that nothing but the recovery OF a
spiritual ideal will redeem us from the
rule OF imperialism.

A INDUSTRIOUS DOCTRINE

with which they are given and the u
to which they are put" And then re
ierriu, particularly to insurance con
tribnt ons to the republican campaigt
fund, the Chronicle adds: "The none,
used to defeat William J. Bryan and tn
democratic party was obviously put t
good use."
Then, we presume, it is of no import
ance that these particular contribution
were stolen from the poicyholders.

made to snpporc "the end iustifies tn,

SARCASTIC COMMENT.

At a recent diocesan convention IN the
neghborhood of New York, DR.. John
Marshall Chew, OF Newburgh, offered
the following resolution: "That no talent
for high finance, no useful service to the
community, no benefaction to the church
or to objects OF philanthropy can excuse
or atone for dereliction in trust, contempt
Tor the rights of others, or disregard OF
the rules of common honesty" Bishop
Potter opposed the resolution and ad'
vsed Rev. M. Chew that it was untime'
ly, and remarked to- the .effect that we
should not pass judgment till final YER
dict has been rendered by those who are
investigating. The New York Evening
Post, with charming sarcasm anent
Bishop Potter's views says that "the
church will get into no end OF trouble il
it NEEDLES with morals, especially those
OF the rich." Then tie Post mildly re-
marks that Rev. Chew "would certainly
not presume to set up mere morality IN
stead of law as test of conduct" II this
sarcasm has no effect let them refer to the
little biblical incident of the fable lothian
related to Abimeiech concerning the
trees that would have king to rule
over them. 1t would seem that Bisho,
Potter is seeking shade beneath some
very thin financial timber.
