The West Virginian holds up its

Editors West yirginian:
have noticed for some time thar
certain papers. especially the Fair.
mont Times, Fave had much TO say
about coal, oil and gas leases on
property L., this State, but held by
non-residents, not being taxable in
this State. This argument is based on
the ground that such leases are per.
sonal property. or "csattels real and
thercfcre follow the per<on of the
owner. II he is nonresident, the
property Is nonresident. This is an
old fiction Of the law, put being mere
fiction, may be changed at any time
by an act Of the Legislature.
Nothing could be palmer than the
following language taken from the
opinion Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States, in Fullman's Palace
''ar Co. VS.. Pennsylvania, 141 N. s.,
10:
For the purpose Of taxation, as has
been repeatedly affirmed by this court,
personal property may be separated
from ITS owner; and he may be taxed
on its account. at the place where 1t
is, although not the place of his own
Gomicil, and even II he is not citi-
zen or resident OF the State which
imposes the tax"
The same court has repeatedly, both
before and since the date II the above
decision. announced the same. rule,
once in tho case of the taxation of the
2altimcre and Ohio Railroad Co., in
Marye VS.. Baltimore and o. R. Co.
II. N. S., III.
AS is well known the State OF Penn,
sylvan.a has a statute taxing stocks
and bonds issued by corporations in
the State, though held by persons on,
of the State and often ont of the Uni
ted States. The question is so old and
so well settled that It seems that nc
well Informed lawyer or editor would
again raise it. '*'

Texas counties which have been over
run with cattlesnakes are In a fair way
to be rid of these pests
Mrs. KING, owner of the King ranch
Of 100000 or more acres. and widely
known as the Texas cattle queen"
decided some months ago that the rattle
snakes on her place should be scotched.
She posted an offer for all the rattIes
of the deadly serpents that should be
brought to her. The first offer was five
cents per rattle. Poems and others of the
section went into the snake business on
as1 extensive scale. Within two weeks
Mrs. King had received and paid for
more than 10000 rattles. The bounty was
then reduced 10 three cents per rattle
After few more weeks a totol Of 5000
had been reached, and the bin IN which
the ratt:es were kept was enlarged so
as to include the whole interior OF an out

MISUSED HOLIDAYS.
from the Buffalo Express:

The American Anti Saloon League is
agitating for celebration Of the
Fourth Of July which shall take the
form Of outdoor mass-meetings to be
addressed by speakers on patriotic
subjects. The object Of the movement
is to eliminate drunkenness and the
use Of dangerous explosives from the
celebration Of the day. One of these
evils does as much harm as the other.
so the league Is to be commended.
Decoration day Is nearer at hand
than Independence day and is usually
even more misused. One state legis-
lature has talked of prohibiting popu-
lar sports on this national holy day,
while in New York there has been
newspaper discussion on the subject
Of the parades customarily seen. All
sorts of organizations, some Of them
Of an incongruous kind, have been In
the habit Of putting into" the process
sion and even taking the right Of line
away from the veterans. This sort Of
observance" should be stopped. Dec
grafton day belongs to the veterans
and those who are able to appreciate
what the day means and why it was
instituted.

SIWASH INDIANS.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin,:

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin,:
w. E. Thomas, whose claims uear Sew

dition as to permit him to live in Seward

Seward is at the base of the finger that
stretches out toward Siberia from north
western Alaska and forms the Aleuttan
islands. It's climate is milder than Omaha

Alaska will be divided, he says, into

THE Siwash Indians are a degener-

practically no family tie and diseases

| the Chinese salmon packers have caus-

with considerable success to counter
act this. The territory along the coast
is divided among the several denomina-
tions, the Baptists takeing so much

CLOCKS AND CALENDARS.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat:
"Clocks and calendars! There's a COM
bination for you," said the observant man,
land one which is rapidly putting us to
the bad. II you will allow me to use q
slang expression. Did you ever stop to
think about how much we rely on clocks
and calendars? If you never have 1t will
repay you to do so, and no doubt you will
find yourself just as helpless as other
men. Why, do you know that nine men
out Of ten can give you no approximate
idea Of the time of day. or of the day Of
the month, without looking at watch, Il
clock, or a calendar? Why? Habit. mere
clocks and calendars; that's ALL Now, 1t
has occurred to me that this is not a
good thing for the human mind, though,
Of course, I may be wrong in my conclu-
sion.
Clocks and calendars are very convcn-
lent. Put the question to US bluntly and
we would almost answer that we could
not get along WITHOUT them. We have a
calendar on our desk, one on the office
wall, one in the room where we live, and
maybe one in the library Ask US the day
Of the month and Immediately we appeal
to the calendar. 1t IL the same way with
clocks and watches. We have no idea
what time It Is unless we look at the
clicking, ticking timepiece. It was not
always thus. Even now there are men
and women living in remoter sections
where clocks and calendars are not so
plentiful who can tell you the time Of day
and the day of the month without refer
ence to these clever inventions. They
have not yet learned to rely altogether on
artific.aities. They turn to nature some
times. For the time Of day they rely on
the sun, and as for the day Of the month
they begin to keep track Of 1t on New
Year day, and hence always know just
precisely where they are chronological!y.
Clocks and calendars are conveniences;
they are also curses, in another sense"
