rendered a decision Monday of vast
Importance In this State, one that

Judge Lynch says the valuations as
Fixed by the State Board of Public
Works OF railroad properties shall

thing. That means the railroads must
pay taxes on those valuations n not
on a largely reduced amount, as sought
by them. In Harrison county It means

rhe country ~Thermometer.

It Is time we said something about
the country thermometer. Here in
town people have been worrying along
under real winter weather. plenty
of SNOW, a high wind, an occasional
unfortunate frozen-and yet the on.
cial thermometer has recorded only
moderate temperatures. Seldom near
zero. A score or so or mites awa,.
for instance at West Liberty, Greggs.
Vile. st. clairsyille, and a score of
other country points. where there are
no official Thermometers, We are led
to believe that they have been having
temperature as is temperature. They
talk about cold 90 or 30 degrees be-
low zero and expect iis to believe 1t.
We DO not believe 1t. We do not
accuse the Oldest 1nhabitant in those
favored, villages Of. lying, bat we do
accuse his thermometer. The stories
you get from it are no more reliable
than the stories you get from old
negro mammies OF having nursed
Washington a century or two ago.
The country thermometer Is usually
about as old as the negro nanny
thinks she is. It has been hanging
on the back porch or outside the
kitchen window SO long and has been
.joggled so frequently that the little
column Of quicksilver Is a mere
lfortaitoas; and dotted streak: the
readings are so worn that the freez-

Of Reed smoot. Of Utah, in which he
Is said to have placed Mormonism ON
a par with Protestant churches gen.

"you well know Mormonism rests
upon that acknowledged farce of 10.

has never been perpetrated in Ameri.
ca. Reed smoot Is a sworn apostle
OF that fraud. He has never protest

While 1t seems TO US that smoot

cause he Is a Mormon, IL does seem
that Senator Hopkins went too far in
commendation OF that church. There
are plenty Of men In Congress who
have no religion at ali and some per
haps who are worse than polygamists,
but 1t is no In accordance with tae
present ideas Of religious federation
