There is nothing sacred about this
kind of sorrow; it is morbid and IN
healthful, and should be forbidden by
law.
And. there is no respect for the dead
in such grief. The best respect We can
show the dead Is to give all the hap
piness and healthfulness possible to the
living who were dear to the dead.
It is time the tradition of the ceme-
terry passed away. Another tradition
which should pass is that of erecting

Bartel, councilman from the Fourth
ward, was again mentioned by him at
A recent board of works meeting. Mr..
Bartel, while not recommending such
action by theater owners during the
hot months, think that when there are
no parks to enjoy the theaters could
be run to advantage on Sunday. He
suggests giving the money made. after
deducting all expenses. to charity,
thus making it no violation of the
state statutes. He says that there are
many families in Richmond living In
poor houses and in cramped quarters.
who in winter are forced to stay In
their small homes Sundays because
there is no place else to go. BY open
ing the Ave cent shows and possibly
the regular theaters there would be
much good done.
Moving picture shows" declared
Mr. Bartel. ARE becoming one of the

In order to show to the state board
OF tax commissioners that the assessed
value of personal property and real
estate in Wayne county is a fair rep
resentation of its actual value in COM
parison to the assessed value of prop
erty in other counties in the state, a
large delegation will attend the meet
ing on Monday at Indianapolis. The
state board has served notice it con-
templates raising the assessed value
of property in the county, including
towns and city corporations. The
county will be represented by the
county commissioners, County Atty

Total for County ...... .$31 ,19S,O2O
The abstract for last year showed
the total of all taxable property in
Wayne county as $29,9S4950. and
comparing this with the returns this
year there is a net gain of $1,213,O7O
The gain seems to be entirely with
real estate and improvements. both in
the country and in Richmond for there
Is a falling off in personal property.
In 1910 the personal property returns
were $1O,0S6,270 and this year. $9,9l6,-
610. The decrease, it Is believed. is
due to the great rush during the last
year for purchases of non-taxible Sc
curities. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars Of Richmond money is invest
ed. 1t is said, in school bonds and
like securities which cannot be taxed.
The increase as a whole in the coun-
sty, as shown by the abstract just COM
pleted, should in some degree convince
the State Board of Tax Commissioners
that Wayne county with gain of
more than a million cannot with just
ice be expected to have it's valuation
increased by the State Board. Prob
ably the percentage of gain in some
counties will exceed that in Wayne,
but the fact that Wayne county's valu-
alton has always been high and has
consistently remained so, will, it is
though have great bearing on the
State Board.

ney General Wickersham. which have
been officially approved by the judi
ciary committee. three committees of
the house are today actively investi-
eating his administration. II but
portion OF the charges against the
Attorney General are proved the
house Democrats will demand that
Wickersham be impeached.

the Controller Bay grab and the gener-
ed upon the administration horizon
today, and in addition to the part he
played in the Ballinger-Pinchot mat
ter, the recent Wiley incident and
the overpayment of special assistants.
the Attorney General is charged with
deliberately withholding prosecution
of the Alaskan coal conspirators un-
til the statute of limitations had run
out in their favor.
This latest charge was given an Of
ficial tone today by the house COM
mittee on judiciary, which has voted
to report favorabiy the resolution in
troduced by Delegate Wickersham OF
Alaska, demanding the Attorney Gen.
eral inform the house why he did not
proceed against the agents of the
Alaskan coal companies who are said
to have conspired to defraud the gov
eminent by bogus bids when the Uni
ted States purchased coal for thirty
military posts in Alaska
The evidence charges Delegate
Wickersham, was placed in the hands
Of the Attorney General more than a
year before the statute of limitations
had run. The Alaskan delegate de-
clares he received letter from Wick
ersham saying that he could not act
because of the statute of limitation.

alleged breach in the Jarvis-Bullock
case. A sensational chapter is the
charge that Captain Jarvis committed
suicide the day after Delegate Wick
