County Assessment Figures.

We give DelOW the 0RureS IOr the
assessment for the current year, as
given to US by the county assessor
They show big raise in assessment
valuations. The increase Is mainly
on personal property. The mines
have also contributed largely to the
increase. Some mines have been
heavily increased; IN several instances
such as the Central Eureka, great
reduction has been made, owing to a
lessened output, and that the pro
perty has, temporarily at least,
dropped out of the dividend paying
list. The assessment roll being SO
materially increased, the promise is
held out for a reduced tax rate. If
this promise is fulfilled, it will be the
first time for many years that lower
rate has followed from a raise in
valuations.

Cured only thru the agency Of war This not true
History does not prove it. Such world conquerors
as Hannibal Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan
and Napoleon acquired much renown and territory
during their lifetime, but when these restless

Civilization did not benefit to any apprecable extent
In attributing to war all the benefits which CIV
ilization enjoys should not fail to remember
of the bighting evils which war has cast over the
world. First is the slaughter of the crusaders, a
movement inspired by Peter the Hermit, not one Of
which contributed much as fig leaf to civiliza-
ton. Then we have the Dark Ages, q period in
which civilization, instead of being promoted. was
held in allegiance by the iron hand of for centu
ries.
Whatever good war has ushered in, is offset by
others which produced nothing but ruin and misery
wars in which few profted at the expense of the
many. All his lifetime obstinate Philip II. of Spain
carried ruthless in the name of Christianity
but Christianity did not prosper because of his ag
gressions. To say that the human would never
have evolved but for war; is idle prattle It is just
logical to say that bedbugs would not exist if it
was not for the existence of man.

The Wenuezs.

The WeNUe7S.
THOSE who have read Sir Gilbert Parker's latest
book "The Weavers," cannot help but admire the
strong virile personality of David Cardge the hero
of the book The hero comes of Quaker stock His
adolescent period gave no indication of talent or
Brightness in fact, the boy could not be dferenti-
ated from other country youths. ) Notwithstanding
this, when the young is suddenly transferred to
Egypt he displays shrewdness in reconstruction,
sterling honesty, mastery in governing and tact
in diplomacy that attracts and gains the rulers conf
dence He is made chief adviser and given absolute
control. next to the Kaid, to govern the empire.
We not only marvel at David Claridge's sudden
acquisition of the capacities of experienced states
man. but we also are amazed at his intuitive insight
into the intricate workings of the Oriental mind. It
is with supreme establishment that the reader OBJ
serves the change from Quaker village to the pow
erful position of counselor and naturally asks
Where did this young man acquire such sagacious
knowledge? The hero owed his advancement solely
to his honesty candor and to his kindly disposition.
His career typfed by sincere devotion to duty
and to uplift nation that centuries behind the
times To this he consecrated his life His unself-
ishness and sincerity of purpose wins admiration
for it is rare thing nowadays to discover such adj
mrable qualities in man.
While it is claimed and admitted that the book
has it's defects it is generally conceded to be the best
book that Mr.. Parker has given to the public. In
David Claridge the reader will find quiet, unas-
Stunning personality that instantly commands attention
and retrospection. Altho much of the book is de-
voted to romantic love story the character Of David
Clardge stands out in bold relief for the remarkable
achievements of the hero the prime essentials of
the story; the rest is simply delightful diversion.

Prison Reforms.

Prison Ret07nas
PRISON reforms are nowadays 80 much in evil
dence that it can be easily discerned that the
munity at large is beginning 10 understand the
necessity for them, and this is largely due to the
satisfactory results which accrue therefrom Those
brave mentor brave they are-who are really in
strumenta in bringing about these reforms agtating
their value deserving of the gratitude of every
inmate of prison institution.
It may not be known yet it is true, that down
deep in the hearts of men who being thus bene-
flied, there is that feeling which words cannot
press; suffice it to say they appreciate what is being
done for them. They realize that it takes time to
educate the public to that point-that prison in
mate is worthy Of every assistance possible and that
tho he may have erred it does not follow that he is
beyond redemption. In the majority of instances
imprisonment has been eye-opener and a lesson
which has left indeble impression; that it does
not pay to do ought than live an upright life
We are not in position to say just how much
is going to be done to aid the prisoner to make
him feel his humiliation less and less but do say
and believe the time is not far distant when he who
has erred for the first time will be given another
chance, with the understanding that if he again
commits similar error he will be punished accord

Wh1pp1nS BURGLARS.


BRITISH COLUMBIA is inauguratlng the novel ex-
pertinent of getting rid of burglars by terrifying
them with the LASH In that country they have little
faith in prison reformation for hardened offenders;
in fact the authorities believe that something more
drastic is needed to check professional burglars.
Therefore, they intend to apply the lash on those
who convicted of burglary. This experiment has
only been put into force recently and it impossible
to judge whether it's deterrent effects are such as to
warrant it's continuance.
The lash as either deterrent influence or as
reformative agency has received the endorse
ment of those who are in close touch with the GRIM
inal problem. Its application can only lead to
deterioration. The Howard Association does not
advocate its use and in few of the pententares
is the lash resorted to in order to enforce obedience
from incorrigible criminals. It would prove very
instructive if record could be kept of the subse-
quent career of these whipped men, also record of
their thoughts while being punished This would
prove beyond shadow of doubt whether or not the
lash should receive recognition.

PersecutinS Great Men.

The present attitude of hostility toward public
men has many striking counterparts in history Ar
stides was principally, ostraczed for ten years for
being too just. Alcibiades altho he was great
general and statesman of large capacities was dealt
with similarly because of misdemeanor Pericles
who was the most brilliant statesman that graced
the forum of Athens barely escaped like fate. So
it has been all thru the ages Eminent men should
be above the attacks of envous critics and an unap
preciative constituency. The people of Athens re-
GREETED their persecution of Alcibiades and SO it is
likely to prove today; the people may regret their
heedessness in condemning those who have made
the country what it is today
If the present head of the oil industry has
cheapened and bettered his product does it not
absurd to persecute him for bringing about this
sultP Surely wel-doing, no matter by whom per-
formed, is deserving of something milder than
censure. During the closing years of Mark Hanna's
life his political enemies concentrated in bringing
dishonor upon his reputation. He accused of
anything that had tendency to dscredit him before
the people. Altho all his life he had been friend
of the laboring man. he lambasted being their
most bitter enemy The thing is true of many
wel-known officials in public life today
This characteristic is not peculiar to conditions
in America; in Europe is to be observed similar

with the Amalekites and retold to one
another how the enemy had been ut.
terly Overthrown, King Agag taken
and the best Of the spoil carried back
for offering to their God. In fact,
such was the depression of the king,
that the people asked one another:
'What aileth Saul? Hath he not
won great victory for the Lord?"
And while the king sought the seclu-
sion of his own house, denying himself
to even his closest friends, the peo-
pie discussed the situation.
"They do say" said one of a group,
"that Samuel. the proThet, hath re-
buked him"
