The Assessorships.
The People.

On0 Oh tue cnteI prlnclple6 Oh
the bill of rights that the Ameri-
can people conquered in the war
of Independence is embodied in
the guarantee that there shall be
no taxation without representation.
In period of emergency which
has long since passed, the people
of Louisiana consented to entrust
the Governor with the dangerous
power of appointing the assessors
of the valuation of the property
subject to taxation, For q time
the people so far in jeopsrdizing
this safeguard that they allowed
The Governor to appoint the Po-
lice Juries in whom the power was
reposed to review the assessments.
Years ago the power TO elect the
Police Juries was RENTED to the
people. and with it the right of re-
presentation in the taxation upon
the property.
ID 1902, however, q method to
again set aside this precious right
was found. by the simple process
Of lodging in the Assessors the
power to override the recommen-
dations of the Board of Reviewers
elected by the people. True it is
that the tax payer may appeal
from the Assessor to the courts,
but as it is chiefly the tax payers
for whom the game wouldn't be
worth the candle, this right OF ap-
peal is particularly dead letter.
1t doubtless exists too in govern
uents that are called despotic.
At the last session of the Gen.
eral Assembly, Representative
Lehman, of Ascension, made O.
praiseworthy effort to rehabilitate
the boards of reviewers in their
prerogatves, bat the occult influ-|
ences which seemed to shape L.
gislation baffled his effort.
In the primary campaign Gov
ernor Blanchard was frequently
interpellsted as to whether he
would appoint the nominee Of the
parish primary for the Assessor
ship. In some parishes, when
pressed for a categorical reply, he
gave his unreserved public pledge
to do SO. In others, he had strings
to such pledges and, for East b.
ton Rouge, he left unanswered q
telegram inquiring if he would ap-
point Mr.. Millican, the worthy and
esteemed citizen who had just been
nominated for the Asse ssorship in
the parish primary.
In a number of other parishes
he was spared these embarrassing
queries by the omission of the ex-
ecutive committees to afford op-
portunities to the people to ex-
press their choice.
The list Of his appointments to
the Assessorships, recently pub
lished and covering all but four
parishes, will speak for itself, and
it will be for the people in each
locality to say how far their wishes
in the matter. have been respec-
ted, and Governor Blanchard's
campaign pledges, observed.
He seems to have been guided
by no rule in the country parishes,
as is proven by the semi-ofiicial
statement that he made some ex-
ceptions in appointing primary no.

Thanksaivina Shows.

At tho Elks theater Thanksgiving "atinee the well known Herald Sauare Con c Opera company will present ''The Mascot" revived and re- .lsed and brought up to date by the addition of many new features which make of it a merry musical farce that never feals to fulfill the company promise of "a laugh minute" The love story of Pippe, the shepherd, and Bettina, the mascot; of the witty old farmer and the eccentric king, has always been a popular one when pro- daced strictly as an opera, but it is even more so when played as mu- sical comedy farce. The character of the story provides ample opportunity for some very clever comedy work tnd the last act is one continuous scream. The company carries twen- ty people, among whom are several who rank high in the operatic world, yell supported by pretty chorus. "A
 Trip to India" will be given at the tight performance.

 "Come in!" shouted the irate Da. yid.
 A tall bellboy opened the door and neekly asked, "Did you ring, sir?''

The County Chairman,

There will be a gala night at the E.lks theater soon, when George Ade's quaint pictorial comedy, "The Coun- tv Chairman" will be the attraction. Mir Ade has steadily advanced in the work of dramatic writing since his first venture, "The Sultan of Su- iU, was produced less than three years ago. There were other entire iy successful works along the line of musical compedy but in his first een,l ne play he seems to have achiev e. a success which overshadows all lis other efforts. The theater-going 1ublic is familiar with the career of "The County Chairman" It was pro- duced in New York, where it ran nearly an entire year at Walleck's $ theater
 Politics, theme which is as vital and uppermost at the country cross reads as it is in the big cities. furn lshes the main action of the story. One reason why, "The County Chair man has been so uniformly success Iul is the fact that nearly every the taer goer has either come from or passed a part of their lives in some country town. The characters that tread the boards are rehexes of nc such personages we might have. known II early youth and as they are graph lScally transferred to the dramatic canvas and are so naturally real it seems like a reunion of old acQuai.ir-

FLASHES FIGURES OF FIRE
New Kind of Cash Register Gives
Further Protection Against
Dishonesty.

A cash register appears TO be an essential
piece of apparatus in all mercantile estab-
lishments, and the Celebrations and embel-
lishments that have been devised for the
greater protection Of the purchaser and the
seller have made this device the most COM
plicated mechanism in use by the general
public.
Not content with the protecting features
already provided, one of the largest manu-
facturers has just secured a new. patent
which affords still greater protection for
both parties to a transaction. The dis
tinguishing feature Of the new Improvement
is visible display of the amount of the
sale at distance from the cash register
This unique end is attained by the intro
duction of electric commutators, contacts
and electrically lighted universal numerals
operated automatically by the manipulation
of the register keys. The numerals are
electric lights and designed that any
numeral can be flashed out of the same
space by varying the contacts-that Is, by
obscuring certain lines and illumining
others.
Whenever a purchase is registered the
amount of the sale is flashed out In large
figures on a conspicuously located electric
sign, so that there does not appear to be
the slightest opportunity for false reglstra-
ton without detection. The Indicator COM

KELLEY DENIES EVERYTHING
Trustee of Mormon Church Replies
to Charge Filed I'm Dis
trict Court.

e. L. Kelley, for himself as trustee and
for the Reorganized Church OF Jesus Christ
OF Latter Day Saints, has filed an answer
to the suit OF James A Woodman. as guar
dian Of Henry Jones, heretofore reviewed
in The Bee.
The answer denies that any pressure was
exercised on Jones by Kelley or by the
church TO induce him to make deed to
the church of a certain lot in Omaha, or
that the church or anyone connected with
It prevailed upon him to go to the Saints
Home at Lamont Ia. 1t is also denied that
any person connected with the church has
a gold watch or other property belonging
TO Jones, or that any conspiracy was
made to have Susan Jones come from Iowa
to marry Henry The answer further sets
gu that Jones was So years old or beyond
understanding and attending to business in
April, 1899. A claim is set up that the
church authorities at Lamont advanced
money to Jones for his maintenance there
and In Omaha to the amount of 500. and
denies ever having received any rents or
profits because OF the deed made by Jones.

TOMLAWSON ATSHORT RANGE
Impression Of the Man Gained During Ride
in His Private Gar.
OF TRUsTBUSTER UNANSWERED
His Little Game Not Exposed by his
Purely PhiIanthrOpic Educational
Trips Through the western
Farming Country.

An hours personal chat with Thomas w.
Lawson and an hour and half of close
observation Of the man while delivering
his set address leaves one a good ways up
I'm the air as to Just what Lawson wants,
expects, or is trying to do. He may, out
OF his innate audacity and belief in his
own power or destiny, be trying to place
himself In the way OF presidential light
ming. He always takes pains to dw9ll on
the assertion that there is no politics In
his campaign of philanthropy, or ven
geance, or retribution, call It what you will.
He insists that he has no time to play
politics. He also gives the laugh to the
Bryan brand of democracy and will have
none of state paternalism. Socialism he
ignores. But the Kansas brand Of -epub-
lcanism is rather popular with the Bos-
ton mystery, who confesses he is a re-
publican himself.
In a personal interview he was asked:
"Mr. Lawson. do you see any more heads
in sight to hit at9'
The oratorical eyes of the Boston man
seemed to get father than ever TO the
front and he flashed out:
do II Why, have only commenced.
I can go on with my story Che always uses
the newspaper word for his writing for
twenty years and then not be through. ]
am going to educate the American people
as they have never been educated before"
SphinxliISe Mt All Times.
This was the most specific answer he
gave to any question asked by a group
of newspaper correspondents from Omaha,
Sioux City, st. Paul and Des Moines
Even the four Boston Newspaper writers
who have been travelling with him on his
peculiar trip have given to the world nc
more enlightening expression. To ques-
lions about the effect of his campaign or
the investments of people in the east and
the possible benefit to people in other Sec
tions Of the country, he replied with al
most verbatim extracts from his mag
azine articles. The nearest he ever gets
