Go to the Root of the Evil.

Editor News: Twenty years ago the
farmers began to feel the squeeze of
the trust. They listened to the poll
ticians who promised to do great
things for them il given power. They
got the power but the robbery continu-
ed. The farmers are now organizing
in clubs to cooperate and to protect
themselves, but they will get it in the
neck just the same.
They must build greater than the
trusts or they must fall victims of
combination and control the same as
the laboring people without capital.
and IL they conquer then we have got
the trust situation just the same, only
another set Of capitalists in the saddle.
The other people will be at their mer-
cy.
In the days of George Washington
the Office sought the man for faithful
and honest service. Today the man
seeks the office for the money there is
in the job and not to serve the people
at, all. The people are becoming more
selfish all the time in the mad rush of
dollars. They care not for the comfort
and rights of others but the almighty
dollar, and they care not how they get
the dollar SO they get it. Experience
has been good lesson to many people
and to me for one. / have been squeez-
ed for twenty years and have studied
the question seriously for twelve years,
and the squeeze is getting tighter.
The clamp Is Tightening all the time
and about one more turn of the screw
is all that is necessary to put the labor
ing people where they win have to dc
| something in self defence. The people
| throughout the nation have become
very much excited over the most popu-
lar question of today, and when people
| get excited they have less sense than
dumb brutes. Don't get excited,
friends, keep control of yourselves.
There is remedy, simple remedy.
When all laboring people can see clear.
ly where they stand then the thing will
come all right. When all laboring I'M
ions see that they are organized against
themselves they will be willing to lay
down pride and partyism and all come
together as one combined union ant
ask for what we want and it will bs
granted. The revolution is'now on
We can get excited and continue Il
fight each other. or we can say, we arr
all laboring people and all want equa
rights and that is all Let us stant
together as band of brothers and asl
in the right kind of a way for what w
want and it will come. Study the pas
and present and then it is clear enough
to see what the future will be. Stud,
the popular question of the day. I
you study question you will know
better how to decide the question whel
you are forced to consider it. If yo1
don't study it how will you know
whether to accept or reject it whe
it reachers your consideration? Stud
the cause of the evil and and DON
fight the evil but go to the root c
the evil and fight the cause and tn
evil will disappear.

J. B. Dame, J. R. McHone, John Her

shed during thunder storm last week
when terrific flash of lightning struck

shelter with their stock under it,.
The mules and the horse that was kill

lightning killed mule on one side and
the horse on the other, skipping the
two mules intervening. The owner OF
the horse had hold of its bride rein,

ASSESSMENT DOUBLED
7. {. !. Must Pay a Large Back
Assessment In Grundy Co.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July II. BY q
settlement of the case of the state
and Grundy county against the Tenn
essee Coal, Iron & Railroad Co., effect
ed before the county trustee of Grundy
county today, the assessed valuation of
the property of Grundy county is prac-
tically doubled.
The state and county will receive in
taxes for this and the three preceding
years approximately $50, 600, and there
will be permanently added to the as
sessment rolls of the county, property
aggregating in value nearly 800, 900.
This is probably the largest back tax
collection ever made in the state The
suit was instituted about six weeks
ago before the trustee of Grundy to as
sess intangible property of the defend
ant corporation alleged to have been
heretofore eliminated from the assess
ment rolls. The action was resisted
by the defendant on the ground that
all of its property was located ont of
the state, although its legal citus was
in Grundy county.
After hearing proof the trustee de-
cided that the defendants contention
would be true in SO far as property ont
of the state was affected, but that
there was located in the state property
to the amount Of about 81, 900, 900, mp
ON which taxes ought to be collected.
Both sides accepted the decision as fin
al
The details of the amounts have not
yet been accurately estimated, but the
above are approximately correct.

Are Prepared to Take
Official OathS on
January 7
Good Men and True Will
Mainly Be in Charge
of Municipality
Some Weak Spots In Office Holders,
But Majority VIII Give City
Three Years Of Good
Government

Bright and early on Monday morn
ing, January Z, all the newly elected
city officials are expected to appear
in the office of the city clerk, file their
bonds and take an oath declaring that
for the ensuing three years they will
zealously guard the interests Of the
city of Los Angeles.
Those who desire may be sworn in
on Saturday before January 7, but they
must patiently wait until the follow
ing Monday before they can step
aboard the ship of state.
Also they can file their bond before
the great day, but the bond is the
main feature and no one can hope to
assume the duties of his office even
on Monday, January z, unless he de-
posits with the city clerk this impor-
tant document.
Ceremonies attending the induction
into office of the mayor are very sim
pie. When Mr. Harper appears before
City Clerk Lelande the new mayor
first will file his bond and take the
oath of office. Mr.. Harper then will
go upstairs to the mayors office,
where Mr.. McAleer, the retiring mayor,
doubtless will welcome him, give him
his best wishes and hand to him a
wooden key, emblematic of the key to
the city of Los Angeles. From that
hour, and during the next three years.
: Mayor Harper will stand on the bridge
of the ship Of state, keep sharp look
. out for any pirate craft and see to
1t that his subordinates and members
Hof the crew do not scuttle the ship
by means of unbusinesslike proceed
ings or worse actions.
OF the twenty three city officials,
INCLUDING nine councilmen and seven
< members of the board of education,
only seven will succeed themselves
These are Harry j. Lelande, city clerk;
T.. E. Johnson, tax and license collect
or; Bernard Healy and e. L. Blan-
chard, councilmen, and Joseph Scott,
Nh. W. Frank and Emmet H. Wilson,
members of the board of education.

A Shooting Gallery Secret.

"Do you see this glass ball?" said
the shooting gallery man. 1t was a
ball Of hollow glass, an airy glass soap
bubble, that had swung all season at
the end Of thread in the foreground
OF the clay pipes, bells and what not
that had made up the gallery's targets.
This glass ball." the man went on, 'is
my great money maker. All season
long people tried to hit this balI-it
was bigger and nearer than any other
target-and everybody failed. Thou
sands Of bullets were fired at the ball,
thousands Of nickels were spent on it,
yet here it is, still untouched, my best
breadwinner All wise shooting gal
lery men have a glass ball like this. 1t
makes such tempting target, yet it is
never hit. 1t Is never hit because the
air that precedes a gun charge is suf-
'cient to blow the ball aside, out of
the way. You might fire a hundred
shots at it, but, like a living thing, like
a timid soldier, for instance, it would
dodge each shot"

Mary AndersOn's Voice.

Miss Anderson's voice was always
her predominant charm. Certain tones
in lt-sO thrilling, so full of wild pas
sion and inexpressible melancholy
went straight to the heart and brought
tears into the eyes. The voice is the
exponent of the soul. You can paint
your face, you can pad your person,
you can wear a wig, you can walk in
shoes that augment your height, you
can in various ways change your body,
but your voice will sooner or later re-
veal you as you are. Just as the style
of the writer discloses his character,
so the quality of the voice discloses
the actors nature. 1t seems unlikely
that Miss Anderson's melting, tragic
tones were uttered in any of her girl
ish impartments, but the copious, love-
ly voice was there, and it. gained her
first victory.-William Winter in9Sat-
urday Evening Post.
