We have only one admonltion for
the board of tax book supervisors: To
look TO the property, not the owner.
Do not let your preference for one
person induce you to relieve him of
burden. which in that case must
necessarily be borne by another. Do
not let your prejudice induce you to
impose on any particular class. Equal
lie the valuation as basis. and do it
intelligently. Last of all. remember
when assessing property in the resi-
dence section not to undervalue one
mans property because he lets the
improvements run down, and over
assess another's property because he
takes pride in keeping it up. They
might bring the same price on the
market, and to so discriminate would
be to put a premium on sloth and a
penalty on thrift.

Not a truth to art or science has
been given,
But brows have sched for II. and
souls toiled and striven.
And many have striven. and many
have failed,
And many died, slain by the truth
they assailed."
The Osteopathic science has been
assailed as vigorously as ever any
new truth that has been offered the
world, but, today it is rapidly coming
into its own, as the people become
better acquainted with it-know 1t.
Osteopathy is an evolution of the
science of treating disease. II went
back to the first principles in nature
for Its foundation, and by taking a
step backward it has made a great
stride forward.
1t Is merely common sense
treatment; a method of manipula-
ton to restore the normal conditions
OF nerve control and blood supply to
every organ of the body by removing
the physical obstruction. or stlmu-
lating, or preventing functional &C
tivlties, as the condition may re-
quire.
The success | have had in Padu-
cab in treating rheumatism, neural
ga, nervousness, malaria conditions,
such as the tired-out. rundown feel
ing, sick, heavy headaches, and
stomach disorders are but a repeti-
ton OF the successes OF the science
everywhere.
Come to see me at any time, and
let me tell you OF Paducah people
YOU know well who will vouch to
benefits received from the treatment.
That's the best recommendation II
can give you.

States Rights VS.. National Integrity
would not be misleading as the style
of the controversy now on between
the San Francisco school board and
the national administration. We have
entered into an agreement with japan
by which on our part we guaranty to
the laps every privilege accorded
aliens from any country. Now the
school board of San Francisco pro-
hibits the children of Japan attend
ing schools to which English and
German children are welcome The
school trustees insist that the United
States government cannot enter into
treaty arrangements with any other
nation which controverts their right
to run their own schools to suit them
selves. The president insists that the
federal government, having the treaty
power, has the authority to make that
treaty effective 1t is a nice question:
May a school board or a country JUS
tice of the peace abrogate a treaty and
precipitate war between the United
States and a foreign nation, or pre-
vent the ratification of peace terms?
The law promises to remain a brill
liant profession with all the constitu-
tional problems yet to be solved.

The section in question is No. 10.
and reads: THAT aA laws and parts
of laws in conflict with the provisions
of this act are hereby repealed; but
the amendments shall not affect
cases now pending in courts. OF the
United States. The. rate law was
passed on July 30. The department
was not ready TO put II into effect,
and on the following day a joint res
olution was passed providing that the
act of the preceding day should not

that during this hiatus of one day the
old Elkins law was repealed and that

nearer TO the. solution of the problem,
its method of arrangement can be de-
scribed..
The. mechanical arrangements no
doubt differed in different vessels. The
following e description is taken from an
afrboat in which on one occasion three
ambassadors from the King who ruled
over the northern part of Poseidonis
made the journey to the court of the
southern kingdom. A strong heavy
metal chest which lay in the center of
the boat was the. generator. Thence
the force flowed through two large
flexible tubes TO either end of the yes
sell as well as through eight subsidiary
tubes fixed fore and aft to the bull
warks. These had double openings
pointing vertically.
when the journey was about to begin
the valves of the eight hulwark tubes
which pointed downward were opened

current rushing througn these inn
pinged on the earth with such force
as to drive the boat upward. while the

walton was reached the .IeXible tube at
that end of the vessel which pointed
away from the. desired destination was
brought into action, while by the par.

rushing through the eight vertical
tubes was reduced to the small amount

air. The steering was accomplished by
the discharge of the current through
this tube, for the slightest change in
its direction at once caused an altera-
tion in the vessels course
But constant supervision was not re-
quired. When long journey had to
be taken the tube could be fxed so as
to need no handling till the destination
was almost reached. The maximum

Secretary Shaw has under consideration
a suggestion which has been offered T.
the effect that the paper money lss.~,- -
the Treasury should be of smaller size.
The idea, oddly enough, has had its origin
in certain new notes of various denomina-
tions, from 20 TO 200 pesos, which the
Bureau Of Engraving is beginning to
print for circulation in the Philippine ISL
ands. None of these notes has been put
forth, but they have excited the admira-
ton of high officials by reason of their
remarkable beauty, and more especially
on account of their size; which makes
them more convenient to handle. than our
own .greenbacks.
One of our dollar bills measures seven
inches in length by three inches in width.
The Philippine notes. are only six inches
long and two and a half inches wide.
Thus expressed, the difference does not
seem TO be so very great, but when the
two are seen side by side 1t is observed
that the area. of the one is nearly one
third greater than that of the other If
our greenbacks were of the lesser size, We
could fold them and tuck them comfort

rather large and clumsy to be thus accom-
modated, the result being that many busi-

Up to the present time only three de-
nominations of paper money have been
printed for the Philippines-notes, that is

more have been prepared, and will soon
