STATEN ISLAND NOTES.

Speculation as to the retention as
deputy receiver of taxes of John De-
Morgan is active, and in connection
with talk Of his removed the question
of who will be his successor Is being
agitated. Rumor had it a few weeks
ago that Franklin c. Witt was to get
the place, but Mr.. Wits resignation
from his position as secretary to the
dock commissioner, which he held
during Mayor McClellan's first term,
is taken as an ~unfavorable sign Tor
Witt. MI. DeMorgan, the present IN
cumbent, Is a democrat, but not a
Muller man. He was openly afili-
ated with the Citizens Union prior
to his appointment, but it Is believed
thai he has since made his peace with
the organization, if not with Muller.
There are many candidates for the
place. but as Mayor Mcclellan has
o seen fit to consult with the party
leaders in other ~horoughs is making
his appointments it is likely that a
dark horse will get the berth If Mr..
DeMorgan. who is satisfactory to the
people of Richmond, is not retained.

off at the root; and cleans the scalp of

Mr.. HENRY COMMENDED BY
HIS RECORD AS ASSESSOR
Comparison of His Work With That
ct Others notwithstanding
on Personal Property.

George w. Henry, democratic cand.
date for assessor, comes before the
voters of Rock Island we'll experienced
III the office TO which he aspires and
with a record for painstaling efiicien-
cy of which he may well be proud
Before marking their ballots it will
be well for voters to consider the rela-
tive qualifications of the nominees for
this important office Mr.. Henry's sup
porters ask no more than this, conf
dSnt that if demonstrated merit is TAX
en- into consideration he will be elect
ed by handsome majority Mr.. Henry
served as deputy for j. r. Johnston
when the latter was assessor in 1899
and a comparison of the total valua-
tons of property listed that year with
he valuation fixed since then under
other administrations is of interest at
this time. Take for instance the work
of J. L. Freeman in 1903. While there
is a marked increase in the valuation
of lots shown in 1908 over 1899 there is
an actual falling off in personal prop
erty. In the former year the total as
sessed value (one-fifth of actual value)
of lots was $1,G7G,425 in 1903 it was
$2,077,9 $50. The total assessed value
of lands in 1899 was $50, $50 and in
1908 S95,615. In personal property,
however, the valuation was S167 365 in
1899, and but s73S.225 in 1903. In
spite of the city's undeniable growth
in the four intervening years, there
was a falling off in the assessed valua-
ton of personal property of $29,140.
The fidelity with which personal
property is listed is the work of good
assessor Real estate values are COM
paratively easy to ascertain as the
character of the property renders con-
cealment impossible and few changes
necessary. But it requires a vast deal
Of work to discover and list for taxa
ton the personal property in city
the size of Rock Island. Mr.. Henry's
record shows that he possesses the
ability and the untiring energy to
make an ideal assessor and the voters
should see to it that he is elected this
spring.

OFFERS PRIZE FOR AN
APPROPRIATE EMBLEM
jamestown Exposition Company In
vites Competitor of Artistic
or Amateurs

The jamestown Exposition company
is anxious to adopt some official en-
blem which will suggest to any imag
NATIVE person the subject of their eX
position. jamestown was the first
English speaking settlement in Amer
ica. 1t might be called the parent OF
the colonies. From the first village
others grew until there was a real col
ony of Virginia instead OF a nominal
one. The Atlantic coast east of the
AlleghanieS was dotted with villages
and filled with colonies which grew to
such proportions that. combined, they
were able to overthrow the domination
of England in 177G. Some pictorial
cal point. nest. or place of begin
ming, may make very appropriate
and suitable emblem. There are
number of incidents which occurred in
the early history of Virginia which
might be worthy Of illustration in con-
nection with the above thought Moth
ing is left of Jamestown but the old
tower which formerly surmounted the
entrance to the first Episcopal church
built in America At one time James
town was finely stockaded village
capable of sustaining the shock of
savage attack. These stockades are
but memories, but they once were i'm
portant facts. At jamestown was held
the first legislative assembly ever Sc.
lected by popular suffrage in any col
ony. This was the fore-runner to our
state legislatures and national con-
gress. This thought might be incor-
porated. From Virginia adventurous
pioneers crossed the Appalachian
mountains, first settling the valleys be-
tween the Blue Ridge and Alleghanies,
and proceeding westward, settled the
Cis-Mississippian states. The men
who first made this pilgrimage were
the knights of the Golden Horse Shoe,
the only purely American order of
knightheod. The revolutionary war
was concluded in Virginia by the bat
tie of Yorktown. The Civil war period
is largely a record of Virginia events.
OF course more modern history would
not be as appropriate in this device as
some thought connected with the sew
enteenth century. The jamestown Elk
