THE GOVERNOR
MAKES FRIENDS
Tax Dodgers" re the Only Sore
Heads Under the Cash
Valuation Plan

The following editorial clipped
from the Orofino Tribune does
much to show that Governor
Hawley flight against the "tax-
dodgers is winning approval in
all sections of the state. The
outspoken remarks about the
attitude OF two of the greatest
foes of honest full cash valuation
IN assessments proves beyond
preadventure that Hawley's
stand in the face of the opposi-
tion of the interests" and their
friends has made him friends:
Whatever else his enemies NAV
have to say about him Cover
nor Hawley has never vet been
accused of Inconsistency or
dishonesty in his fight for equit-
able assessment Of all property
OF the state. His honest and
fearless fight is winning him
friends every day and he bids
fair to be big winner in his
efforts to have fair adjustment
OF values and equal sharing OF
the burdens of taxation. His
manly attitude on the question
is IN strong contrast with the
miserable, contemplate course
adopted by Clifford and TAYLOR
These two gentlemen. who first
stood with Governor Hawley
for honest taxation and later
switched, when they thought
they heard something, ARE now
being made the laughing stock
OF the state, and not apt to be
strongly pushed by their party
leaders on the ticket one year
hence. 1t pays to be honest, if
you somtimes are in error of

HAD A HARD SKULL.
The Baseball Catcher Who Was the
Original Bonehead.

Ed Ashenback, for many years a
manager Of minor league teams, IN
his book, "HumOr Among the Minors,
claims to be the originator of the ex-
preston "bonehead." which is now.
with its synonymous terms Of solid
ivory" mahogany bean," concrete
dome" and cement SKULL" so common
In baseball.
Ashenback says that when he was
managing the Shreveport team of the
Southern league some years ago he
had a catcher who could hit some.
but who had the very serious weak
ness of not being able to gauge foul
ball no matter how easy II was.
One day a batter raised high foul
directly over the plate, and the catch
er, mlsjudging it, was hit squarely on
top Of the head by the descending
sphere. which knocked off his mask
and bounded away some thirty feet.
That night Ashenback finished his
supper early and was passing out of
the dining room when he happened to
walk behind this catcher, who was de-
vouring his evening meal with gusto
and enthusiasm. Stopping at the ia
BILE. Ia passed his hands over the
backstop's head. feeling for the bump
which he thought would surely be
there on account of the contact with
the ball that afternoon. But there
was no lump TO be felt mo wonder"

bump? Your head is solid bone"

Il ls More Than a Sport; II Is Sort

In England sport is not only reli
gion; it Is the religion. If man is a
good sportsman be need not be any
thing else. II may seem hyperbOical
to describe fox hunting as a religion
and the fox as a deity. but II Is bare.
bald exactitude. The true fox hunt
ing sportsman exhibits all the attri.
butes Of the devotee. the fanatic. the
martyr, He is ready to die for his
faith. l am sure he would cheerfully
allow himself to be burned alive rath.
er than hunt a bag Of aniseed His
friends would cut him dead II they
suspected him of treason to the pure
ideal Of fox hunting. His clubs would
refrigerate him. He would he mark
ed man. He would be a pariah. an
outcast. a bounder. an outsider.
The power of the caste of fox hunt
ers is as formidable as the power OF
the various Indian castles. 1t Is a
mightier engine than the law. for II is
driven by public opinion. The county
would ostracize the wretch caught in
the act of violating the fox hunting
code. His career would be ended.
Never more could he hold up his head.
He would be leper. The taint of
aniseed would hang about him for
ever. = James Douglass in London
