The health of the body as well as Of
the mind depends upon forgetting. To
LET the memory of wrong, of angry
words, of petty meanness, linger and
rankle in your memory will not only
dissipate your mental energy, but it
will react upon the body. The secre
tons will be diminished, digestion i'm
paired, sleep disturbed and the general
health suffer in consequence. Forget
ting is splendid mental calisthenic
and good medicine for the body.

MENTIONED

Hudson County's Democratic legisla-
tors have agreed upon two things. One
is that if a bill for the proposed abandon
ment of the Morris Canal is introduced
they will insist that the interests of Jer-
sey City are protected The other is that
an Equal Taxation bill embodying the
ideas Of Charles @. Black will be intro
duced, independent Of any plans Mayor
Fagan or Corporation Counsel Record
may have on this subject.

A BOMBSHELL FOR STOKES

Mayor Fagan has decided to carry on
a fight for equal taxation. Without
waiting to hear the report of the Com
mission that has been inquiring into the
subject the Mayor is going to carry his
fgiit for taxation reform into every city
and county in the State. Aside from
Corporation Counsel Record and Presi-
dent Bacon of the Board of Tax Com
missioneFs no one was aware of the May
or's intentions until Saturday when he
made his plans known at Atlantic City,
where he went to consult with Mayor
stoy. To a reporter Mayor Pagan said:
Il believe that only by bringing to the
direct attention of the people of the State.
theFimportance Of legislation to curb the
power Of the railroads and force them to
pay taxes in proportion to other property
owners can equal taxation becomes a fact
instead Of theory. While the import
ance Of the national Issues in the last
campaign appear to have overshadowed
the great tax question confronting the
cities of this state for the time am as
sured that campaign waged IN its in

nerve to act for the best interests of

sweep away all opposition and give to
ssEerzes ksaaissssss sssll az 0tiFe =cffssiss and
counties an opportunity to force the rail-
road companies to pay a proper rate for
their large and constantly increasing
holdings on property.
my plan begun in this city today, is
entirely my own, and as far as 1 know
only two men, Edgar B. Bacon, head of
the tax commission of Jersey City, and
George r. Record, Corporation Counsel,
were aware Of my intentions until the
subject was broached to members of the
Atlantic City Board of Trade and men
well known in the business of Atlantic
City today.
Il had hoped to make at least a start
in my work before courting a publicity
which win undoubtedly bring down on
me he wrath and opposition Of the
corporations interested in preventing
reform, but my reception here has sat
isfiea me that nothing now can stop the
progress of the movement. The cam
paign is entirely one of education in tax
alton, and for the arousing of that
powerful personal interest which no
amount of political or corporation pres
sure can sway.
As rapidly as permitted by the duties
of my Office, shall visit every county
and city from end to end Of the State
and discover for myself the attitude of
the taxpayers on the matter of equaliz-

week, Colonel Edwin A. Stevens, Of Ho-
boken, win be the choice Of the Demo-
cratic minority in the Legislature for
United States Senator. Tie vote will be
taken one week from tomorroy, and, al
though John Kean, Jr., viii be reelected
by the Republican majority, Colonel
Stevens will have the satisfaction Of
knowing that the Democratic party holds
him in high favor. A complimentary
nomination for such an exalted office as
United States Senator is not an honor
to be pushed aside. No man in New Jer-
sey is more worthy to consideration from
his party than Colonel Stevens.

There is much speculation among DEM
ocrahts as to who will succeed the late
G. T. Smith as County Superintendent.
Candidates for the appointment, which
will be made by the Board Of Freehold
ers at its next meeting. are as numerous
as were Pagan Democrats in the Horse
shoe district in the last two mayoralty
contests. The office is one of the most
desirable in the gift Of the county board,
paying salary of $1,000 year, and the
term is liable to last as long as the Dem
oerats are in control of the county gov
renment. Naturally, it is worth having,
and anthing worth having is worth look
ing for. That accounts for the strong
pressure that is being brought on Robert
Davis and the members of the Board of
Freeholders in the interest of the differ
ent candidates?

CHINA REGISTERS y PROTEST.
Asking for What She Did Not Hhvc
Courage to Fight for.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Post
this morning says:
The Chinese government a week or
more ago. made "A formal protest to
the Russian and Japanese govern
ments concerning two of the conditions
set forth in the treaty Of peace signed
at Portsmouth. China objects to two
things:
First. the length of time allowed
for the evacuation of Manchuria, and
second. the provisions made Tor an
armed guard for the railroad lines
owned by Russia and Japan in Man
chura.
China believes that nine months is
entirely sufficient time within which
Japan shall evacuate Manchuria in
stead of 12 months, as provided for
i'm the peace treaty. The provisions
made for guarding the railroad. the
Chinese contend, contemplate an arm
ed force of probably 10000 men in
Chinese territory. The Chinese gov
ernment regards the maintenance of
guards in Manchuria of such size as "A
menace and it does not propose to
agree to such plan.

After an Early Decision.

The refusal of Shoshone county Ia
respond to the appeal of Governor
Gooding and reconsider its action IN
the matter OF the 1905 state tax levy
has destroyed the last hope of ths
state administration that this matteC
would be settled without recourse ts
the courts. As announced in spec
ial dispatch to the Statesman yester-
day. Shoshone, after accepting the ad-
vice Of the governor and calling
special meeting of the board of coun-
ty commissioners to reconsider the
matter. decided that it We're bette,
that the case be taken to the supreme
court for adjudication at as early
moment as possible.
The case can in no way involve the
legality of the action of the state
board of capitalization, because thar
body simply followed the acts of the
legislature. and il error has been made
in the various levies, the legislature
and not the board is responsible.
1t is apparently the wish and hope
of all parties concerned that the mat
ter be adjudicated as soon as possible
to the end that money for the admin
istration of state be forthcoming from
the various counties before IT becomes
necessary to close any of the insti-
tutions conducted by it.-Boise States

but this as compared with the total
output is of little importance, however
the farmers are beginning to use more
and more each year. Pulp has proved
to be one Of the best cheap foods Oh

The feeding Of so much stock ever

viii the Northern Pacific railway
demand the fulfilment of the original
land grant promises of the United
States in the construction OF the North
Bank road?
The promise of the government to
the Northern Pacific when 1t began
building westward that the govern
ment would give it, absolutely free of
charge. every alternate section of land
for 40 miles on either side Of the road
This is why this company owns an
empire in the northwest today. This
is why settlers are forbidden to locate
upon alternate sections in western
Umatilla county. and this is why hun
dreds of thousands of acres of rich
timber lands in northern Idaho are
held away from settlement today.
1t is said on good authority that the
company can claim fulfilment of the
land grant promises in the construc-
ton of this new line down the Colum-
bia river. and that under their old
agreement with the United States gov
ernment, each alternate section. not
otherwise disposed of for 40 miles on
either side OF The new line, must be
given to the Northern Pacific when
ever it begins to build road down
the Columbia.
A glance at the map, will show at
once the magnitude of this promised
donation, should the old agreement be
binding
Following as it does the northern
boundary of Oregon into Portland, the
4O-mile limit of the North Bank road
would reach to the center Of the norm
tier of Oregon counties. and would
withdraw from the people fully one
half of the vacant land now left in
those counties.
The evil effects of such land grant
would be blighting on the state. as II
would at once reduce the vacant area
i'm the northern portion of the Column
bia river counties by one-half. This
reduction of the public domain would
take place i'm the very districts in
which the promise of irrigation ana
future increase in values is most GER
tain and would at once place i'm the
possession of the Northern Pacific an
immense tract of arid and semi-arid
land which would support people
enough to comprise an entire county,
after il was once reclaimed.
