Holdenville, Okla, Oct. 20.-The
faithful dog of Mrs. John Wade, who
resides three miles north of Holden
Vile, saved her honor and possibly
her life, when she was attacked by a
giant negro.
Mrs. Wade had been assisting her
husband in the cotton field, and at
5 o'clock in the evening, accompanied
by her child and the watchdog, start
ed to her home.
The roadway led through a thicket,
and it was here that the negro
sprang from the bushes and struck
the woman on the head.
Although the blow was severe, Mrs
Wade regained her strength and be-
gan battle with the big black.
When she was almost overcome the
family dog came to her rescue, saw
agely biting the negro's legs. The
latter turned to defend himself, and
Mrs. Wade freed herself from his
grasp. Her assailant then dashed in
to the thicket.
The alarm was spread and posses
secured the woods all night and to-
day. A suspect has been arrested,
but Mrs. Wade has not positively
identified him.
Mrs. Wade, though badly bruised
and scratched, is resting easily.

A Significant Exception.


As a barometer OF industry the steel
trade continues TO repay close attention.
The reports of timid and tentative i'm
provements in business conditions which
began to circulate a few weeks since are
corroborated by the statement Of the
United States Steel Corporation issued
yesterday afternoon. This shows that
in the current month there has been a
satisfactory increase in orders for the
great corporations products covering all
lines of finished steel save rails only
The exception is significant Of the
havoc wrought by politics on that "conh-
dence in security of business investments"
which Mr.. Taft said truly yesterday 'is
a plant Of slow growth and is absolutely
necessary in order that our factories may
all be open again, in order that our unem-
ployed may become employed" Directly
and indirectly the railroads contribute to
the employment Of labor about all the
money they take in, a sum ranging up
ward Of two billion dollars in recent years,
to say nothing Of their expenditures from
proceeds of the sale of securities. The
folly of permitting politicians TO hoist
themselves to eminence by making targets
Of the railroads and crippling their capa-
city for proSiding employment for labor
is more apparent than 1t was year or
two ago.

10 COMBAT SOCIALISM.

q WRITER in the New York Evening Post
= calls attention to the growth of Social
ism in this country and declares that no effective
means are being taken to counteract the spread
OF the Socialist doctrines, the adoption of which
would mean a complete change of our form of
government and its ideals lie shows that the
Socialist vote this year may reach a mlion-that
is the claim put forward by the Debs supporters,
and there seems to be some basis for it.
The Socialist vote four years ago was little
less than half a million, and since that time they
have waged an active compaign, gaining recruits
IN all parts OF the country. They have many
publications, including several daily newspapers
The writer in The Post thinks that the best way
in which to combat the growth of Socialism is to
establish a college OF investigation, which would
have experts on its faculty who would thorough
ly inquire into the movement to show the fallaces
both in this country and abroad of the So
cialistic doctrines. This might be a good plan,
although there are many able writer's both in
this country and Europe, who have been combat
ting the Socalistic doctrines with all the vgor
at their command.
In support of his idea, The Post writer points
out that the Socialists have established in New
York the Rand School of Socialism, which is the
centre OF their propaganda from which their
speakers are sent forth spreading their doctrines
broadcast They are getting in everywhere and
demanding hearing. They usually get it. for
even at Harvard they now have lectures on So
cialism
The proposed college might do some good. al

CITY PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS.

IT HE question Of equitable assessment of real
4 estate is a problem with which the au-
thorities of Baltimore are wrestling. For some
time the system OF Observation-Disclosures
property below its market or supposed real value
has been in vogue in the Maryland city This
plan has been abandoned in most OF the larger
cities as unsatisfactory, and Baltimore proposes
10 pet away from it. When in one part of the
city a readjustnlent of the assessment was made
there was a howl of protest from the affected tax
PAYERS who were welded to the old method OF
undervaluations. They feared that their taxes
would be higher. But the old method OF under
valuation made the way much more open tor
these unfair assessments than if the taxes were
levied according to true valuations Discrimina-
lions are not so likely to occur when the true
value and not a problematc one is put upon the
real estate for assessment purposes. lhere Is
less room for favortism and inefficiency.
Baltimore also proposes to select board OF eX-
pert real estate men, who will visit different
parts OF the city yearly and examine the proper
ties. after which will fix the valuation.
Every few years every property in the city Will
have been examined. This is the practical
method. Competent men who know properties
should always have the fixing of the valuations
The basis of the protests of real estate owners
against full valuation of property, as instanced
in Baltimore, is because they fear that such real
valuation is simply a scheme to eXtort more
taxes by a round about method.
Instead OF increasing the tax rate, something
which always raises protest, simply increase the
assessments and no one will object, is the way
the holders OF property reason that city officials
will act
There is some logic in their conclusions. II
property valuations are increased the tax rate
should be lowered or else city officials should be
held to a strict account for the Use of the aidi-
tiona funds
But even the assessment at the true value does
not always mean that there are no determinations
as we of Wilmington know But the true value
plan is by far the fairer one
