DOVER Dec
ou1ht.the people Of Delaware to have
anytcounty:ta taxes to pay after 1907?
Shall ithe burden of taxation be en-
tirelyt lifted from the citizens Of Del
aware7
Is. il possible that the people Of this
State may bidla fond farewell to the
abrupt assessor and the importnnate
tax eatherer who sometimes sells them
out, house and home?
Hero is a question TO be answered by
the people in the selection Of the next
Legislature.
The next. Legislature can. Il is asserted,
absolutely relieve the people OF the
burden OF. f.countyitaxation. Even 81. in its
wisdom. ,or the wisdom OF the people it is
eventually deemed better not TO take
suchsa step. the subject furnishes food
for rlthoughts and for fund of argument
in the. peoples columns OF this newspaper
which,cannot but prove most beneficial.
While an Evening Journal representa-
tive was in the Dover Federal building
yesterday. he approached one OF the best
known men in Delaware and probably the
iargesti owner OF real estate In all three
countiestand certainly one Of the largest
investors. ,who said:
''Youl want 10 know the best news go
inggswell. did you know that there is a
rnovementtin prospect to relieve an the
people ofsDelaware from paying taxes2'
The newspaper man gasped for mo-
ment Thendea OF no more insistent and
busy body assessors; no more ever-pres-
ent tax collectors turning up at every
corner with a little fellow IN the distance
with a sale bell 70 ring at your door. No
taxes.
The whole idea seemed dumbfounding.
II looked Ike making a present 10 every
man In the state Of from SO 20 $50. and
The farmors-their divy would be from
500 10 $50. just like finding that much
money
No taxes More immigrants and pros
pective landowners would flock 20 Dela-
ware than even the hustiing real estate
agents could begin 10 handle while every
inch OF ground would be put under culti-
walton.

of the most valid criticisms of the
story is that while the lack of cloth

it would not, as the author assumes,

VENTURA, oct. S.-Last night
marked an important event in the his
tory of the Woodmen of the World of
this county. 1t was the occasion of a
grand joint initiation of a class of about
$50 from the various camps Of the
country, comprising Oxnard, Fillmore
and Ventura.
At 6 o'clock in the evening the degree
team of La Fiesta camp, Los Angeles,
arrived, and at o'clock the delegation
from Santa Barbara, numbering ovec
$50, accompanied by the city band
arrived and were met at the depot by
the local lodge, candidates and the de-
gree team.
An Illuminated parade to Armory hall

was headed by the band, was witnessed
by hundreds of people. At Armory

an address on woodcraft by men of
prominence, among whom was Hon.

YOUNG MAN DISAPPEARS
George HoIbrook Leaves Note for His
Mother, Saying He Has Gone

to San Francisco

Dear Mother: Do not worry about
me. / will be good boy. BY the time
you receive this, will be in San Fran

With this brief message left on a
table where his mother would find 1t.
George Holbrook, 10 years old, and
until recently employed in the Broad
way department store, has disappeared
with $40 which he Is said to have
drawn out of the bank a few hours
previous to his departure.
His mother, Mrs. H. L. Holbrook,
sought the aid of the police last night.
She told them that according to letters
he had received from Miss Aleto
Blanchard, a pretty girl of II, also an
employee of the Broadway department
store, and who lives with her mother
at 2O6 Avenue Sixty-six, she believed
they had eloped.
Acting on this clew, the police located
Miss Blanchard last night. She denied
ali knowledge of the whereabouts of
the boy and was indignant at the sug-
gestion that she should have been
guilty of clipping with young Holbrook.
Miss Blanchard was seen last night
and talked of her first meeting with
young Holbrook, but denied all know
ledge of his whereabouts or the cause
OF his disappearance. She said that
Holbrook had confided to her on sew
eral occasions that he wished to join
the navy, and she is inclined to be-
lieve he has gone to enlist in the navy.

CHILDREN IN THE TEMPLE
Rev. Robert j. Burdette Talks About
Training for the Little
Ones

Robert ]. Burdette, pastor of the
Temple Baptist church, preached last
evening on the topic THE Children in
the Temple" taking for his text Luke
2:46: "They found him in the temple"
He said in part
wThey should have better known the
temperament and spirit Of this Won
derful child we say. Aye, and we
should know more accurately and IN
timately the temperament, thoughts,
dreams and dawning purposes of our
own children in this day of intellectual
and spiritual light. Suppose your boy
should disappear from your sight and
knowledge for three days this week?
Isn't the church the last place you
would think of searching for him?
"You would have a deadly fear lest
some evil had befallen him; you would
think he might have run away from
home in some wild, boyish adventure,
such as all boys dream out in their
restless imaginings You might have
a dread that you could not stif1e that
the young life had been enticed into
thorny ways of sin. You would search
among your friends. you would ques-
ton your neighbors, you would send
word to his school teacher. you would
notify the police. But about what time
in the search would it occur to you that
perhaps the house of God, with certain
sweet and holy associations, might
have for him fascination that would
make him forget father and mother
and brethren and sisters?
"They sought him among their kins-
folk and acquaintance, and when they
found him not they turned back to
Jerusalem seeking him. And 1t came to
pass that after three days they found
him in the temple"

REASON FURNISHES TRUTH
Rev. William Horace Day Discourses
Upon Theme of instruction
for Worshipers

1--WE shall know the truth" was the
text from which Rev. William Horace
Day preached yesterday morning at the
First Congregational church. He said
in part:
MANY an earnest soul is intensely
anxious to know the truth. Can one
by searching find out the truth? We
have three tests by which we come to
know truth-ability to reason. to see the
beautiful and ability to obey God
peter wrote commanding Christians
to cultivate the intellect that they
might give a reason for the hope that
was within them. We should all be
rationalists-that is test our beliefs by
reason.
by reason we learn the facts in
science, by reason the great thinkers of
the church have attempted to prove
religious truth and have done every in
telligent Christian great service.
1.-THE knowledge of truth is not the
exclusive privilege OF the artistic, and
we realize that there must be another
test of truth beyond the esthetic, and
that is the test Of righteousness or the
ability to do the will of God. This test
of truth was the one to which Jesus
called his disciples, If we abide in me
We shall know the truth
"You this morning ask, How may I
know the truth?' Begin by putting
your will right with God. One says
will accept Christ as soon as 1 can
understand all the truth he teaches.
He tells you you must begin to abide
with him and his words abide in you
and then We shall know the truth and
the truth will make you free"

SENATOR PLATT WAS DRY
Why the Easy Boss Is Now Opposing
Governor Higgins of New

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Oct S.-After many
years of residence in the Fifth Avenue
hotel which he made the headquarters
of the Republican party, Senator Platt,
on arriving in town last night went to
the magnificent new Hotel Gotham at
Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street,
leaving the old place to Chairman
Odels faction.
The mere change in residence en-
phasized the rupture in polical ranks.
Strangely enough the new hotel plays
an important part in the conflict AS it
comes within the prescribed 200 feet
of a church it cannot have a liquor
license. At the last session of the
legislature a special act was passed to
cover this case, but Governor Higgins
vetoed the bill. Reference to this un-
expectedly brought forth the senator's
declaration of war-a last straw added
to the burden of political disputes.
ct like this hotel but it is terribly
dry" said the senator, with a laugh,
as he picked up a glass of water from
the table in his private room, where
dinner had been served Then he grew
serious. IT never asked Governor Hig-
gins for but one favor, and that was to
approve the bill permitting this hotel
to have a license"
Did he promise you he would?' was
asked.
mo, he did not promise, but he led
me to believe up to the last moment
that he would do 1t. Ten he vetoed it,
wrote $4,000 letters for Mr.. Higgins
in the last campaign. Now I am
against his denomination under any cir
cumStances."
