A correspondent in "The Daily
News few days since referred 70
the large exodus that is continpa,,
going on from Cornwall TO other
countries, and assigned as the reason
the difficulty experienced in getting
small plots of land at home. There
may be modicum of truth I'm tho

not be true to assign that as the sole
cause. great many men I'm Corn.
wall are miners, and II is becausa
there is not enough employment st
home at a sufficiently remunerative
wage that great many go To other
lands. In fact this can Justly be re-
garded as the chief cause of the sone-
what nomadic habits of some of our
people. II would be getting very near
the truth If il were said that the atti-
tude of many landowners with regard

vent the development OF existing
mines and the opening of new ones is
the tduse OF our men having To seek
bread on foreign soil. There is
great deal I'm the present land system
that is inimical TO the best interests
of the people. In a certain Devon
shire town some land was recently
offered for building purposes. but not
n single bid was made on account of
restrictions with which the sale was
hedged about. only one house of a
certain value was TO be built per acre
a considerable high rent to be paid.
and no business of any sort was to be
conducted on the premises other than
that of a lawyer or n doctor. These
conditions were not merely harassng
they were an insult, and 1t is only
mild protest that no bid was made.
But the conditions framed I'm the at

referred TO are just the barrier to

Among the passengers on board the
L. NJ. s. "Laconia," OF the Cunard Line
which arrived in the Mersey on We'd
nesday morning from Boston. was
Captain John Scott. the veteran skip
per who commanded the old convict
ship Success" during her long voy-
age across the Atlantic recently.
Though he has sailed the seas for half
century and has been master of his
own vessels for forty-two years, the
"Laconia" is the first steamer on
which Captain Scott has made an
ocean voyage. He had. previously,
only made trips on coasting vessels.
At rorquay on Wednesday. William
Exeter. show attendant, was charged
with doing grevous bodily harm to
William Hancock, roundabout pro-
prietor.
Defendant pleaded guilty
Mr. Hutchings, for the prosecution,
said defendant was formerly in the
employ of Mr.. Hancock, but was dis
missed on the previous Monday night
for drunkenness on Tuesday night
Mr.. Hancock discovered there was a
leakage i'm the money taken on one Of
the roundabouts. He eventually found
that defendant was taking the money
and not handing IL over to Mr.. Han
cock. Prosecutor told accused TO
leave the machine at once and. as
matter of fact. Mr.. Hancock pushed
him off the roundabout. About two
hours later Mr. Hancock was walk
ing along the Beacon Quay, with twoI
other show proprietors, when the ac-
cused rushed out from behind the
shows and struck Mr.. Hancock over
the head. Fortunately, the blow fell
chiefly on the shoulder. or it might
have resulted i'm a fracture of the
skull. Earlier in the evening defend
ant told someone that he was going
to do for Mr.. Hancock with an iron
bar. watch was even more formid-
able weapon than the iron bar with
which the blow was struck. Happily
II was taken away from him. He CMr
Iutchings) contended that the facts
of the case pointed out to nothing
short Of attempted murder.

ty, for the correction of the tax as
sessment for 1911 levied against the
Jersey City Water Supply Company,
the State Board orders the assess
ment corrected in accordance with
the complaint of the township. The
property in question consists of At
acres of land with a water pipe line
laid therein. The township asses
sors assessed the pipe line as per-
sonal property having a valuation of
$42325. The State Board rules that
lands containing such pipe lines
should all be assessed as real estate
and orders this assessment corrected
to accord with this finding.
The assessment of $4,000 placed
by the taxing authorities os Sparta,
Sussex county, upon certain prop
erty of the New York, Susquehanna
and Western Railroad company, is
ordered by the State Board reduced
to $500. The State Board finds that
a water right belonging to the
property is used for railroad purpo-
ses, the water being used to supply
locomotives, and so, is not subject to

Question of Authority of Mu-

Trenton July 26.-The Municipal
taxing authorities of this state have
no right to tax the right granted to
telephone companies to erect their
poles, according to a decision an
nounced today by the State Board of
Equalization of Taxes. The decision
is in the ase of the appeal of the
New York Telephone Company from
an assessment levied against it by
the taxing authorities of Jersey
City. The Jersey City assessors lev
led the assessment on easements
for poles inside curb lines and other
places" this valuation being in ad-
dition to that placed Upon the COM
pany's tangible property. consist
ing of the poles, wires and fixtures.
President Jess, of the Board, who
wrote the memorandum of the deci-
sion. said. The act under which the
petitioner operates requires, as a
condition to the construction of it's
lines, that it first obtain the con-
sent of the owners of the soil to
the placing of poles. The right to
construct its lines is conferred by
the state, and the consents from
abutting property owners are merely
permits to plant poles in particular
places. They transfer on property
which a be separately assessed to
the owner of the pole line" On this
ground the State Board orders the
assessment cancelled.

proposition is distlnctively original
and is advanced by him as one way
of getting out a larger percentage
of the vote and thereby increasing
the interest in good government.
Mr.. Dullard proposes to take the
| registration of voters entirely out OF
the hands of local electio nofficers
and establish in each county degis-
tration board under direct control
of the court. Under this plan the
functions of the election officers
would be confined to the receiving of
votes on election day and counting
and certifying them.
The function of the County Regis
tration Boards of Election, would be
the registration of all voters in the
county. The County Board would
hav eto meet at frequent intervals,
and perhaps in different parts of the
! county, at least the first year, and
would have to maintain an office at
the Court House with necessary cler-
ical help. The office would remain
open the year round with the records
Of the registration properly CLASH
fed and arranged and opened to pub
lie inspection.
The proposed system is based on
the thory of permanent registration.
Each voter upon registering would
be granted a certificate much in the
ann that naturalization papers
are granted to new citizens. This
certificate the voter would have to
present to the Election Board when
voting as demonstrating his right
to cast his ballot. In case a voter
moved he would surrender his certi-
fcate to the County Board, which
would issue him a new one for the
new residents. Any certificate would
be revokable upon hearing, after no
tice, or without hearing in case OF
death. This plan would eliminate
the necessity of personal registra-
ton every ear and in this way, Mr..
Dullard thinks it would conduce to
getting out a larger per cent Of the
vote

A GALLON, Ohio, paper gives a
very complimentary notice to Merton
Yeager, formerly of Perrysburg. Mr..
Yeager celebrated his f1th-year as
Gallon business man and evidently
gave his patrons something worth
having if we are to judge by the
printed menu.
The long continued winter and
the absence of moderate weather up
to the opening of Spring, has pre-
vented much work, in getting things
in order for the coming of real
spring. This will no doubt make a
rush of work when it can be done.
Everybody will have to hustle In
many ways. The farmer to get ready
for his work of early spring, the
town resident to clean up about his
property and put things In good or
der, and the average citizen to labor
in some manner to meet the condi
tions that confront him at the open
| ing of the season. 1t will be busy
time for the industrious.

PURE BoRAx.

If people only knew the great diff.
ference there is in BoraX they would
exercise more care in buying.
Borax is usually crystalized in
huge iron tanks, and ON this account
contains quite bit of iron, which
renders it much less desirable for all
uses.
The Borax we sell (The Sterling
Brandt is crystalized only on galvan-
lied pipes suspended into the tanks.
The crystals taken from these pipes
are free from iron, and when
powdered make velvet soft powder
instead of powder which has that
gritty, hard, sandy feeling, which is
so noticeable in other brands.
1t is 991a per cent pure, thus rend-
ering it fit for medicinal use.
