Assessor Kappel CompIimented

! The State Board of Equalization
which has been in session for three
weeks at Baton Rouge, and for the
first time, is performing it's labors
in the matter of assessments to.
wards all interests concerned. A
pleasing fact connected with the
meeting is that no protest has been
SO for registered from railroads OF
other cooperate interests. Assessor
Kappel Of this parish was present
at the meeting of the Board last
week in the interest of his parish,
and in the course of its proceed
ings Mr.. Kappel was enabled to
offer many useful suggestions.
The highly comprehensive and
intelligent manner in which he
performed his duties in this parish
were lauded in terms of the high
est praise by the members of the
State Board and in reference
thereto the Baton Rouge Truth of
July 26th had the following to say:
Assessor Kappel brought with
him all the necessary documents
to explain to the board the figures
of his abstract and when these
figures and their proofs were in
vestigated by the board many
were made the off,
cial for the excellent manner in
which his affairs have been con-
lucted."
The BANNER asserts that there
IS no more equitable, painstaking
and efficient officer than Assessor
Aappel. His fellow-citizens of
he parish are justly proud of him
Ind they will see to it that he re-
mains the incumbent in the posi-
ion for which he is Sc eminently
itted.

compel England and Japan to show

attempt on the part of England and
Japan at The Hague peace conference
to limit the stay of belligerent warships

significant because they prove to us
more than empty batteries who are our
real friends and real enemies. In the
war between Russia and Japan, the
sympathy of many was with Japan.
