HERE is A FRIEND, INDEED.

My Dear Mr.. Watson :-SOme time
ago / wrote The Jeffersonian asking
for list of the libraries in Georgia,
thinking that to put the Magazine
into them for one year it would be-
come indispensable thereafter.
I have at last gotten catalog of
Georgia libraries from the Atlanta
Library, and wrote all of them ask
ing if they would accept the Maya
zine gratis. / have heard from six
teen and am inclosing my check for
the one-year subscription for each,
also the list of libraries SO far heard
from.

THE WORKNfAN'S SERMON TO

Tie WOnAMAN y SEE1MON IO
PREACHERS.
Rev. 10y Warwick, Castle of Indo-
lence.
Dear Sir:-I note that you are air.
ing yourself in Sundays Journal,
and presuming to give advice to the
laboring class of people as to how
they should spend Sunday. What do
you know Of the physical and men
tai needs Of man who works twelve
to fifteen hours six days in the week
and few extra on Sundays? Don't
you think you show a good deal of
the ass's conceit when you under
take to advise one to come to church
and hear your and others ha-
rangues in your Sunday booths, where
you spend couple of hours in the
week dispensing your merchandise,
spurious stuff, at outrageous prices,
and then advise people to come to
hear the Word of God Do you not
think we can get something better,
far cheaper, If we will read our BIZ
bles about fifteen minutes daily after
our work is over, and then would it
not be better to take our little out
ing on Sunday and get physical and
mental rest than to spend miserably
two hours listening to your ha-
rangue? Let me ask few questions:
What do you do six days, Monday,
day, and Saturday? Do you not
stroll, wear your long coat, feast on
charity of others, and on Sunday
deliver your set sermons, and, after
you have finished, feel that every
body should congratulate you for
such mastery and beautiful dis
course? Please tell us whatyou know
about the discomforts and hardships
of the laborer, and how he works for
the sustenance Of his family? Do
you ever enter the homes of the very
poor? Do you have any idea as to
the mental worry and physical ex-
haustion of this class of people Incl
dent as to how they are to meet the
needs of their dependents? You old,
fat, hypocritical, pharisaical drones,
come down from your booths of mer-
chandise and help the under dog, de-
nounce the damnable system that
keeps him grinding, if perchance you
should hit some one high in your
church. 1t will do you good and help
the helpless perhaps.

HELLO! DIR. LOVETT!!! WHAT
ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SIR?

ABOUT THIS, PLEASE SIR?
Dear Mr.. Watson:--I notice in to-
days issue of The Jeffersonian, in
the editorial, rs the Texas Co.
Operator Violating the Law" that
you state that it is unlawful to carry
subscriptions to a weekly paper long
err than four months.
If this is true, you don't have to
go all the way to Texas to find "a
paper violating the law Our own
dearly beloved Wesleyan Christian
Advocate carries them from one to
six years over time and sends an in
sulting (almost) letter once in so
long demanding settlement of their
account"
| know one lady who has been
married five or six years and the
paper still comes to her maiden name,
if it hasn't stopped within the last
six months.
People tell me they would as soon
itch" as 1.-THE Advocate once it
starts coming. But they don't ever
forget to send that dun for four, five,
and six years subscriptions.
Respectfully,
TROUP COUNTY FRIEND.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-I have
just read with great deal of pleas
ure, your book entitled Waterloo.
and ! want to say that in my humble
judgment it is very fine, and far bet
ter than the description of that great
battle by Victor Hugo. | am one of
those who believe when you think
good of a mans deeds, to tell him
about it whilst he is living.

FAVORS RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
CONTINUED from Page ~

Enactment looking for the selfish
exploitation of less than the whole
people at the expense of the whole
is a species Of legislative abuse
which comes near corruption in Its
effect. Perhaps it Is more dangerous
than corruption because those sup
porting such a combination are usu-
ally bold in its defense. The days
of the pork barrel should be num-
bered. The country is aroused
against corporate corruption and the
control of legislative agencies but 1t
is doubtful whether constituencies
are yet able to perceive the higher
obligation of the part of themselves
and their representatives not to use
votes in combination to Appropriate
to a part that which belongs to the

CONVERTED HEBREW

Christians in Salem will be much

Mr.. Johnson will speak in the Uni
tartan church, Thursday, Septem-
Der 90, at 1880 p. m. His lecture ia
bound to be both interesting and
profitable.
The subject, rs the Hope of a
Resurrection a Reasonable Hope?"
is of great Importance. Every Bible
student knows that the resurrection
is one of the most prominent themes
of the Scriptures, yet how rarely is
1t so much as mentioned in the pull
pit nowadays!
The speaker is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the Scriptures, for, like
Timothy, he has known them from
childhood. Mr.. JOhnson's profound
Biblical scholarship together with
his extraordinarily logical bent OF
mind render him we'll able to shoNr
the harmony between the Bible and

important doctrine, the resurrection,

CLASSIFIES
RAILROAD
PROPERTY
TAX COMMISSION AGREES ON
PLAN FOR TAXING RAILROAD
PROPERTY-PROPER METHOD
OF TAXING ROLLING STOCK 4
PROBLEM.

About the most complicated ques-
tion with which the state tax COM
mission has had to wrestle thus Tar
during its brief existence is the seq
gregation of the railroad properties
in the state into different cIassifca-
tions to determine which is to be as
sessed by the assessors in the sew
eral counties through which the
railroad lines pass and which to be
assessed for general taxation by the
tax commission.
After several conferences with the
officials of the several lines operat-
| ing in Oregon and the receipt Of
special reports from the railroad
companies upon what constitutes
operating property" to be assessed
by the commission, and property not
used in the operation of the systems.
/ to be assessed by the assessors in the
counties in which such properties
are located, the commission is send
ing out this data to the assessors Of
the several counties of the state
with instructions to compare the list
as classified by the railroad compan-
les, with the property carried upon
their rolls and to correct their rolls
accordingly.
This method will be followed out
for this year, since it will be impos-
sible for the commission to employ
an engineer to make the necessary
surveys and separate the "operat-
ing property from the "non-operat-
ing property at this late date, but
if the legislature makes ample pro-
vision for the work, the commission
intends to straighten the matter out
itself before another year rolls
around The commission could not
have performed this work this year.
even if it so desired because there
is not sufficient funds set aside for
the use of the commission to pay
for the services of an engineer but
it is expected that the next legisla-
ture will be more generous in its
provisions for the maintenance Of
the tax commission.
The Marion county tax roll will
not be very materially effected by
this change in the law as it will re-
ceive it's due share of the apportion-
ment of the assessment upon the
operating property upon the mileage
basis, and will still receive taxes up
on the timber holdings of the Oregon
C California railroad within the
county and about the only item of
any Importance upon which 1t will
lose the full assessed valuation, and
which has heretofore been carried
upon the county assessment roll,
will be the freight warehouse Of the
Southern Pacific which was assessed
at $4,000 last year. Portland, or
Multnomah county will probably be
the heaviest loser in tax receipts as
all of the terminal properties, ware
houses, ETC., except grain warehouses
and such properties as are excepted
in the list enumerated above, will be
assessed for apportionment upon
the mileage basis.

GOV. PLANS To
QUIT TRENTON
FOR SUMMER
Especial Correspondence

Trenton, July 13:-Governor Fort
this morning returned from Gettys-
burg, where yesterday he witnessed
the maneuvers of the Second Regi-
ment of the New Jersey National
Guard under the direction of regular
army officers. He expressed himself
as highly pleased at the showing
made by the New Jersey troops.
Our boys did finely" commented
the governor, land the tactical
them a new and needful view of
army life."
Today the governor is sitting as
the head of the Court of Pardons.
This winds up his business in the
state house for the remainder of the
summer, and he will not be here
again until September. The first of
next week he will go to the Little
White House by the Sea-" as the
governors house at the Sea Girt
camp grounds is called, and from
then until the end of hot weather he
will direct the affairs of state from
that point. Camp will open July %
and continue this year only two
weeks, as against five weeks In for
mer years. The executive mansion
at Sea Girt is a pleasant place dur
ing the summer and the governor
plans to continue to remain there
with his family for some time after
the soldiers have gone away.
The biggest time at the encamp-
ment this year will be the day Sc
lected by the governor for the enter
tainment of members of the legisla-
ture, state and county officials and
newspaper editors and correspon-
dents. Heretofore 1t has been the
custom for the governor to act az
host to legislators n day, to the
state and county officials another
day and to the newspaper men at
still another time. Owing to the
fact that the camp will continue only
two weeks this year the lawmakers,
officials and newspaper men will be
invited to be the guests Of the gov
ernor at n time. The date of the
affair has not been definitely fixed,
but 1t will probably be on the Tues
day or Thursday of the second week
Of the camp. More than 500 invita-
lions to the reception will be issued
this week, and the list of James to
whom they will be sent will include
a great array of political influences
from every section Of the state.
While tha governor is away from
Trenton for the remainder of the
summer the executive offices In the
state house will be in charge of
Charles A. Ransom, the executive
clerk.

REQUIREMENT
TO RUN AUTO
IN NEW YORK

Trenton, July 13:-Reports from
different parts of the state indicate
that New Jersey automobile owners
are criticising severely the new au-
tomobile law which goes into effect
in New York state August. Many
denounce certain Of the require
ments of this law as excessive and
absurd.
The part of the law which i'm
poses such strict requirements on
automobile owners who apply for a
chauffeur's license to run their own
machine is condemned especially.
Under this section the applicant
must make an affidavit as to wheth-
err he or she has ever been convict
ed OF a crime, has any mental or
physical incapacity o infirmity,
whether the applicant uses intoxi-
eating liquor. morphine or drugs,
state the color of eyes and hair, and
paste q new photo on the applica-
ton.
There would not be much marked
opposition to the New York state
law but for the stringent require
ments, as New Jersey automobile
men realize New York state In rails
ing the license fee only is getting
even with the New Jersey authori-
ties.

HAMILTON Is
ON THE OUTS
WITH CURTISS

Garden City, L. l., July 49,
Charles X. Hamilton, Graded in the
Curtiss nest of fiiers, but at present
without any fixed wings, late yes
terday afternoon borrowed Captain
Thomas s. Baldwin's aero, and made
a short flight, just to keep in prac-
t1ce. Hamilton is so fond of flying
tina he proposes to develop all of
the Hedging aeros about the place.
Hamilton yesterday retained Is
rael Ludlow to defend him In the
suit brought by Glenn H. Curtiss,
his former manager, who claims
$4,000 for the use of the Curtiss
Machine in which Hamilton has been
giving flights around the country.
The complaint states that Hamilton
leased the Curtiss biplane, and Cur
tiss was to receive sixty per cent. Of
all the gross proceeds. Hamilton
abandoned the Curtiss machine at
Atlantic City, alleging that Curtiss
had failed to provide him with a
suitable motor, and the one he was
using was unsafe.
Mr.. Ludlow said a counter suit
will be filed. He said that in his
contract Curtiss had agreed to give
Hamilton first choice of all con-
tracts and prizes, and he was to re-
ceive sixty per cent. royalty of the
gross proceeds for the use of his
machine. At that time Curtiss did
not expect to make flights, but later
changed his mind and kept the best
things for himself.

The New York Side.

New York, July 13:-The breaking
off Of relations between the New York
and New Jersey State Medical Socie-
ties has brought for the following COM
ment from Almuth G. Vandiver, attor-
ney for the New York County Medical
Society.
"The severing of relations as far as
the recognizing of certificates is con
cerned, need not disturb any New Jer-
sey physician who wishes to transfer
himself to New York or to maintain
Offices in both States.
GAN that he need do is to appear be-
fore the regents and pass an examina-
ton in accordance with the New York
standard. Under such conditions 1t
would be impossible for the regents to
refuse to give him a certificate. Under
the laws of both States, however, there
Is a reasonable amount of latitude
given.
"Any physician when summoned
from New Jersey to consult with q ply
stefan regularly licensed in New York
need have no certificate. The outside
physician is, Of course, permitted to
practice in cases Of emergency.
"The dropping of the reciprocity
clause cannot effect any commissioned
medical officers serving in the United
States army, navy or Marine Hospital
Corps while so commissioned, or any
n while actually serving without sal
airy or professional fees on the staff
of a legally incorporated hospital.
"Any duly licensed physician who re-
sides on the borders of one State and
whole practice extends into that Of
another is permitted to cross we to
give treatment, it being understood,
however, that he does not maintain any
offices or have any place where pa
tients may await him or call him in
the State which he visits.n
Mr.. Yandiver expressed the opinion
that in cases of emergency a physician
might be summoned from one State to
another without being obligated to take
out a license for the State into which
be had been called.
Such instances frequently occur when
the family physician is called from one
State to another to treat his patients
who are temporarily domiciled at some
resort.
Under reciprocity arrangements the
State of New York at present recognizes
certificates from Delaware, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Utah, Vermont and
Wisconsin.

FUNERAL COSTUMES.
Their Extravaosncs curbsd by Law at
One Time In England.

Thor ExtraVa0ancs Curbsd by Law at
One Time In England.
Sumptuary mourning laws were for
merly found necessary in England
to restrict the extravaganza of the no.
ter of funeral costume. At the end OF
the fifteenth century 1t was laid down
that dukes, marquises and archbIshops
should be allowed sixteen yards of
cloth for their gowns, SLOPES"
%(mourning cassocks) and nantes; earls
fourteen, viscounts twelve, barons
eight, knights six and all persons of in
ferior degree only two. Hoods were
forbidden to all except those above the
rank Of esquire OF the kings house
hold.
In the following century Margaret,
countess of Richmond, mother of Hen
~ VII, issued an ordinance for the
reformation of apparel for great es-
tates Of women In tyne Of mourn
ings." So it seems that men and wom-
en- have met In the extravaganza of
sorrow.
Even 200 years ago London trades
men found that court mourning seri-
ously affected their business. Addison
relates that at a tavern he often met a
man whom he took for an ardent and
eccentric royalist. Every time this
man looked through the Gazette he ex-
claimed, THANK God. all the ~reigning
families of Europe are we'll" Occa-

er some time Addison discovered that
this universal royalist was a colored
silk merchant who never made a bar
gain without inserting in the agree
ment, "All this will take place as long
as no royal parsonage dies in the In
terval."-Lendon Chronicle.
