TROUBLES
MANY KNOTTY PROBLEMS ARE
PRESENTED TO THE COUNTY
CLERK FOR SOLUTION

Joe Lindsay, the genial county clerk,
has trouble on his hands these days.
1t is no wonder that he is bowed
down with the weight Of care and has
taken to the study Of law in order
10 be able 10 answer the numerous
inquiries propounded to him.
Joeis troubles grow out Of assess.
nent Of property which is now IN pro.
gfess. and Of which he is the super
visor. Some Of the assessors are put
ting questions To the county clerk that
would stagger a Philadelphia lawyer
With his practical knowledge Of the
work. Mr.. Lindsay is generally able
to answer the question but occasion
ally they are toe tough for him and
last week he passed up a bunch Of
them for the state auditor for decis-
ion.
Here are two samples Of the kind
Of questions that arise. On March :.
man in Harrison township had a
team valued al $500, COW worth $40,
household goods valued at s25 and
casa to the amount OF 500. or proper
ty with a total cash value Of SPAS
When the assessor reached MIN on
May ]. he said that he had mortgaged
the team to get the 500, and had
spent all Of it but $50 Under the
law he Is entitled to an exemption Of
500 Now how much shall he be as
sessed forq
Another case may be stated in this
way: A merchant had a stock Of
goods valued at $4,000 on March /,
the time when ali property is to be
listed. Before the assessor came
around the stock was totally destroy
ed by FIRE. He may or may moi have
had insurance. In either case, how is
the assessor TO proceed2

4 somewhat erroneous notion of the
present status of the much-discussed
hospital ship prevails in some quarters. as
the following paragraph from the Au-
gusta Herald indicates:
1T is noted that the hospital ship under
the command of a doctor|is keeping right
I'D with the rest of the fleet. That will
knock the wind out Of some body's sail"
The latest reports from the now cele-
brated hospital ship. to which a doctor
was ordered as commander. stated that
she was at the Mare Island navy yard,
with workingmen hustling to make her
ready in time to reach San Francisco
ahead of the battleship fleet.
Maybe the vessel referred to in the par
agraph quoted above is a japanese spy
boat that has thus far lodged the de-
tectives. Certainly when the battleship
fleet left Hampton roads it included no
hospital ship. 1t was not joined by one.
as far as the records show. at Trinidad.
None was added to 1t at Rio de Janeiro,
and the cables make no mention of il as
a newcomer at Punta Arenas. So that
il anybody has counted an extra vessel,
hying the Red Cross flag, in the wake OF
Admiral Evans feet, obviously it is his
duty to make haste to notify the State
Department and prepare the country for a
shock.

New England would Gov. Hughes be
justified in case his party wanted him
for a second term at Albany in denying
it the use Of his name?
1t is easy TO understand how when
man offers for the presidency he wants
that Office and nothing else. The prize
is so great, other things appear unim-
portant by comparison. But men have
been known to accept something else.
Thomas A. Hendricks. much against MS
wishes. and John A Logan. much against
his wishes, were the vice presidential can
didates in 1884. Mr.. Hendricks had been
a national figure for twenty years. ana
yet. under party pressure. now consented
to play second fiddle to man who only
few years before had been the sheriff
of Erie county New York. And at Phila-
delphia in 1900 Theodore Roosevelt re-
luctantly obeyed party call to duty
which set aside his own plans and pur-
poses.
Gov. Hughes wants to be President, and
doubtless is sincere in saying that moth
ing less than that office will induce nm
to remain in public life. But when we
consider what party obligations are. ana
how many men have obeyed them against
their own wishes and announcements. we
need not doubt that pressure in the case
OF Gov. Hughes would prove as potent as
it did in the other cases cited. He must
do his duty in that sphere Of politics in
which it may please his party to call him.

Prohibition.

Mississippi declares for prohibition. The
saloons have eleven months in which to
close up their business The cause is
marching on. and not improbably will
control the entire south. Elsewhere also
temperance is aggressive, and making
Roadway In Indiana yesterday the State
Association of Democratic Editors de-
clared for a local option law. That all of
this must tell in some form both at Chi
cago and Denver seems reasonable, not to
mention the fact that the prohibit.Onists
will put presidential ticket of their own
in the field. The distilling and the brew
ing interests concede the gravity Of the
situation as respects themselves, and are
organizing for a battle royal. The dog
geries-the saloons of the lower class
have not friend left.
