1895, Tssutng certificates as TO these
taxes ts not included IN the official
duties OF the eouRty auditor and if he
started the practice IT would probably be
necessary TO put ON an additional clerk
Such action would In NC way be off,

and therefore he could not be held
under bond for any mistake that might
be made
According to the opinion Of w: 7.

copy OF which was fled with the
board, delinquent personal property
taxes dating back to 1896 are not a

since 1895 are Hein against any
realty owned by the same party. A

ture that year which changed the
status Of the tax question.
The abstract company has been
forced 10 secure lists of delinquent

the asphalt quicker than did Roose-
velt's simplifed spelling. One cannot
change anything In washington except
money, and he should do that on the

redeeming feature about Inauguration
weather. II sometimes does good TO
the soul to see the way 1t makes mon
keys Of the solemn functionaries who
have the thing In charge. They take
themselves so seriously. there is so
much business about which Official
shall sit In which chair, and who shall
walk out of a certain door first, and
who shall take precedence In the pa
rade, and all the rest Of the formal
tommyrot, that it secretly delights the
heart when the weather bedraggles

brave show. Real patriotism suffers
not whit In consequence, for II goes
deeper than display. There Is another
comforting thing. II the powers that
