lhc report lust completed ny the board
of assessors. &c now valued at sli.59l Sa3.
This Is the quadrcnnia appraisal and is
n gain OF 1852 sos over the appraisal Of
1896
This. ut first glance. may appear quite
MI increase but It is small when com
pared with the increase OF 1905 over 1902,
which was N.7H0.0i9 The increase is also
small when the fact is considered that
the report contains some property which
was not listed four years ago
Included IN this Is the property OF th..
Central Vermont Railway company, al-
praised at il,1N. and the property Of
tho Rutland Railroad compan" At $50 600.
The Central Vermont company has
taken an appeal from the appraisal made
ny the assessors on the ground that tho
assessment IL excessive. The company
also raises tho question ac to whether all
Of the property Is taxable.
The railroad company under the law
rays taxes to the State on property where
actual railway business IL transacted
The assessors have put the land leased
to the lumber companies and owrcd lv
the railway into the list. It is understood
that the railway company claims tho
lumber IN the yards is in process Of
transportation and that the land Upon
which 1t stands Is therefore non-taxahlo.
'The Rutland railroad company has made
no objection to the assessment OF its
property.
According to the assessors. Fred O.

the property increased Is in districts
where streets have been developed and

THE SHAME OF TENNESSEE.

Readers of The Herald will remem-
Der the killing, something over year
ago, in Tennessee, of Senator Car
mack, shortly before he was TO have
delivered lecture in Lancaster as one
of the numbers of the lecture course.
Col. d. B. Cooper, who shot down the
senator upon the streets of Nashville,
his home city. was convicted and sent
enced to 20 years Imprisonment in the
penitentiary, but Gov. Patterson of
Tennessee mas brought disgrace upon
himself and his state and undons all
of the good work Of the courts by ex-
tending pardon to Cooper.
Carmack was the editor of news
paper and had found it advisable in
the course of his editorial duty to
criticise Cooper. and the latter and his
son promptly set out to secure ven
geance They met him upon the
street, Immediately pulled guns, and
killed him. The case went through
the usual court channels and tire jury
found the facts convincing. Patter-
son during his term as governor has
pardoned $50 criminals including 152
convicted Of murder. He explains
that the penitentiaries are crowded
and that it costs money to feed and
lodge prisoners. Small wonder it is
that under such regime the state OF
Tennessee is witnessing a regular sat
urnalia of crime.

MARK TWAIN DEAD.

The death of Samuel l. Clemens,
known to the world in general as
Mark Twain, which non de plume he
adopted in all his writings, takes
from the field of American writers its
most unique and conspicuous character
as a humorist and philosopher.
Wherever the English language is
spoken men and women have read and
laughed over the humor conveyed in
his stories. Tom Sawyer. Huckle-
berry Finn and Col. Mulberry Sellers
have delighted untold thousands.
Mark Twain was always most &C.
centric character. but he was also one
of the most human of writers and
there was personal touch about his
work that has seemed to bring him un-
usually close to his readers and put
him on terms of instant friendship
and familiarity with his public.
1t is the irony of fate that man
who has contributed so much to the
happiness of the world. who has
cheered millions with his unfaillng
optimism, his whole hearted and un-
conscious feeling for the right, his
unquenchable humor and fine philos-
ophy. should pass his declining years
in the conditions of such sadness as
surrounded him at the end. Broken
in health and apparently losing all
interest in life following the death of
his daughter some months ago. he
sought the milder climate of the
Bermudas for his shattered condition,
but was brought back only a few days
preceding his death, having to be car
fied fro.I the boat by his secretary
and a servant, and conveyed to his
desolate home, where he fingered but
a short time ere the spark of life de-
parted.

RETIREMENT OF ALDRICH.

Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island
and Hale of EIaine have announced
their intention of retiring from the
United States senate at the END of
their present terms. They are among
the ablest of the leaders in that body
and their absence will be felt when
they step out Senator Aldrich has
ruled with impunity however, in the
senate, his power having been some
thing remarkable, and his extreme
views upon tariff matters and unbend-
ing will in so shaping legislation as
to favor grasping mOnopolies so far
as possible has made him a very un-
popular figure in the estimation of the
people and drawn the criticism of the
press to an extent that has made of
him mighty DOGGY man with which
TO brighten the masses aud win votes
for the element of the party that has
most strenuously opposed him. Aldrich
could be re elected senator without
any effort, 50 that his retirement is no
doubt OF his own accord With Hale
it is somewhat different He would
have to fight for reelection and at
his advanced age he probably dislikes
to indulge in a strenuous contest for
the place ne has occupied for so many
years.
While there is no question that
Senator Aldrich has been pictured
much worse man than hs really is,
and when he is out the abuse which
has been heapet upon him will be
loaded upon somebody else. yet the
interests of the republican party and
the people will be enhanced by the
elimination of men of his extreme
views from control of national legi-
station.

MISTAKES OF EDITORS.

It is said to be an inexcusable out
rage for a newspaper editor to
MAGE the slightest mistake in state
ment OF any sort, while professional
persons upon whose certainty of
knowledge and on whose statement in
regard thereto, life and death or the
most important interests depend, make
the the most serious errors without in
curing the slightest criticism, much
less blame. Take the judge on the
bench, whose decisions are set aside
and anulled by higher courts, almost
every day, and the judge whose judg-
ment is so reversed does not suffer in
the least in public and professional
estimation.
In the same wayssthe physician who
makes the wrong diagnosis of his pa
TENTS disease. administers treatment
that results in death, instead of a
cure, loses none of the confidence of
his patrons in his skill, and he may
kill any number of persons secundum
artem without mourning the slightest
responsibility.
These are curious facts says the
New Orleans Picayune, but they are
mentioned, not by way of excusing
editorial mistakes, for there is no ex-
cuse for them. 1t il because every in
dividuaI firmly believes that he could
condnct newspapers better than those
who are charged with the work, while
no unprofessional person would under
take to usurp functions of the judge
or the physician.

cum OF $3.50 was appropriated under
the previous conditions the most i'm
portant of which is that at least
twenty concerts must be given.
Discussion followed regarding the
construction of concrete walks during
the coming year. 1t was stated that
more will be built this summer than
last. The condemnation of over
seventeen blocks of board walk has
already been considered.
After some talk regarding the cost
of material etc. it was understood that
the specifications of last year would
again be used and the maximum price
of 10 cents per foot would be paid for
construction. No definite action re-
garding this was taken however.
The suggestion that the night
watch keep a record of the amount of
water pressure from readings taken at
different hours of the night was acted
upon favorably. The police already
makes a very complete report each
morning and it will be very little
trouble to add these readings. The
record will be an especial aid to the
fire department.

WHY 1T PAYS TO RAISE GOOD
HORSES.

The farmers of the Middle West
seem slow to realize the extravaganza
of raising poor horses. Despite the
enormous output of automobiles, the
demand for good horses was never
greater than 1t is today. On the
other hand it is steadily growing
harder to find market for inferior
ones.
The state of Wisconsin established
good precedent when, in 1905, it
passed a law requiring a license
certificate to be issued by the Depart
ment Of Horse Breeding of the College
.of Agriculture, showing the breeding
-or lack of it-of every stallion in
the state. Only those registered in
stud books recos nized by the Federal
Department of Agriculture are con-
sidered pure bred.
The chief result of that law has
been a gain during the last three
years of $15. 35 head in the value of
Wisconsin horses. It, is estimated
that a gain of SO head during the
next five years would mean an add
tion of 81, 900. 600 to the total value of
the horses of that state. The average
value today is $107 per head
Here are some facts which show
how it pays to breed good horses
only, based on actual sales by Wis
consin farmers:
Horses by pure bred stations
av ragged $7S II at from four to six
months. s192 81 at one year, $185 48
at two years. $21S at three years and
$3O3 at four years and over.
Horse by grade or scrub" stall
lions averaged SOL. % at four to six
months, $50 at one year, 1927 90 at
two years, $3.50 40 at three years. and
5000 90 at four years and over.
The difference in favor of horses by
pure bred stations was $27 50 for
foali, $47 81 for yesrlings. $50 30 for
2-year- olds, SCI 30 for 3-year olds,
and S1O2 so for horses years old and
over.
A scrub" will eat as much as
good horse, will not work or look as
we'll, is liable to blemish and disease,
and it's cash value is much less.
Regardless of these facts, large
number of farmers keep right on rails
ing half breed or mongrel horses.
There is no excuse for their doing
SO in this and three other states which
have followed the example of Wiscon
sin in passing laws to protect them
from imposition or ignorance as to
sires for breeding purposes. Chicago

FOR COUNTY CLERK.

Ben Fl. Harms, town clerk of Har-
rison, will be a candidate for the
republican nomination for county
clerk of Grant county and respectfully
solicits your support for that position
at the September primaries.
G. E. Tuff1ey has decided to become
a candidate for another term as coun-
ty clerk for Grant County, hoping that
his conduct of the Office has been such
as to commend itself to the approval
of the people and feeling that the ex-
perience he has gained will enable
him to be a more valuable man for
the county than new man.

From The Farm.

When the world wants good COWS
horses, sheep, hens and hogs it
sends out to the farms and gets
them.
When it wants good things to
eat it writes letter to the farmers
and is never disappointed in get
ting just what it orders.
When it wants the choicest fruit
our farms have it. If fruit is not
plentiful in the East, there is the
great West to draw from.
When it is looking for homes for
the thousand in other lands who
never knew what home really is, it
sends to this great country of ours.
When the world feels the need of
men to do great things, it reaches
out its hand to the farm, and says;
You have just the ones we want.
Send them to us! 1t is a time of
sore stress; do not fail us!'
And from the farms a steady
stream of men goes to answer the
call. You find them in the offices,
in the factories, in the stores of the
great cities. They are doing much
of the worlds work to-day, and
they will always be doing it; for the
farm grows just that kind of men.
The world gets it's best from the
farm; and there is a-plenty left.
Let's be thankful for that!-Forum
