TUESDAY, MAY 81, 1912

HAvIEe a majority in the County Boards
OF Taxation the Democrats have, In a
number of cases, ousted the Republican
secretaries, placing men Of the opposite
party In the positions. The Supreme
Court has filed an opinion which shows
that the secretaries are protected by civil
service and cannot be removed merely for
partisan reasons. Atlantic county was
one OF the municipalities which deposed a
Republican secretary and the members of
the Board ofTaxation of that county have
been summoned to appear before the State
Civil Service Commission to explain upon
what ground the change was made. The
hearing will be held to-day and it is quite
likely somebody will receive shaking up.
The Democratic majority of the Burling-
ton County Board proved itself above all
small partisanship and recognizing the
faithful services and fitting qualifications
of Joseph Kaighn would not listen to any
suggestion that he be removed simply to
give a member of their own party good
berth.

WHILE the majority of people have
objections when their tax bills are pre-
sented there is an indifference shown in
certain quarters that is not calculated to
encourage those who are working to
secure the desired end of equalization.
At the meeting of the State Board of
Equalization on Wednesday there were
two matters Of great Importance not only
to the communities interested but to the
entire county. An appeal was filed from
an assessment upon water pipe in the
township of Beverly. The appellant was
represented by counsel but Beverly town.
ship did not have any one present to
protect 1t or combat the arguments pre-
scented by those who wanted to have their
tax cut down. Another case was the
assessment of q silk mill In Burlington
city. In this instance the city was not
for its protection but the |
mayor and the chairman of the finance
committee were on hand to show that the
city was actually the offender and that
the assessor had gone way beyond the

As has BEEN said before THE NEWS be-
lieves in giving credit to any one who has
performed duty, even though that is
what he is engaged for. 1t is very easy
to find fault with man for what he does
not do, but when he is Of some benefit
those who find fault forget to give credit.
In this case the praise to be bestowed is
due County Detective Parker. Getting a
clue to q robbery In the lower part of the
county he soon had the man arrested and
by close examination of the prisoner was
enabled to unearth at least six other rob-
berries which had been more or less
mysterious. The culprit was given just
sentence last week. OF course there are
robberies that Detective Parker has not
yet been able to solve. but he should be
entitled to credit for what he has done and
for the efforts he has put forth in the
other cases, which may before long be
satisfactorily explained. If they are not
1t will not be because he has not tried to
secure that end. There are many murders
on the list Of crimes in the Offices of city
officials which meyer have been and prob
ably never will be solved.

VETERANS of the civil war are very
much pleased over the passage by Con-
gress of an act which gives pensions on
length of service and thereby makes a
more equitable division. Under this new
law soldiers who remained In the army
for three years, smelled powder and faced
privations and distress that were not ex-
perienced by three months or nine months
men will now be recompensed with re-
gard to those conditions and the short
term men will not be on a par with the
others. This seems to be very meritor-
ious measure and will be taken advantage
of by those who, by their faithful service,
are entitled to share in it. Old soldiers
desiring a copy of the law should write
to their Congressman who will probably
send it as well as the blanks on which to
petition for the increase of pension.

limit in making the assessment. The fact
that the mayor owns a lot of building
ground in the neighborhood of the mill,
which is constantly growing in value
owing to the necessity for houses and the
other fact that the bank of which the
chairman of the finance committee is
president holds good number of the
bonds of the silk mills company, Of course
did not increase their interest In the
matter-they were acting solely for the
benefit of the city. In his address to the
State Board counsel for the mill said the
entire assessment was illegal because city
counsel of Burlington did not appoint
three assessors under the act of 1910, but
he failed to mention that the chairman OF
the finance committee was In the same
position in 1910 and that his attention was
called to the law.

JUST as the news was sent out that the
coal strike was about to be settled there
came the report of another agitation which
would not affect the general pocketbook
as the coal strike did, but would probably
cause a. much interest throughout the
country. The base ball players threatened
to strike and 1t is the first instance of the
kind on record. In recent game at New
York Ty. Cobb, one of the Detroit PLAYERS.
became incensed at the remarks of a spec
tator and jumped into the bleachers and
gave the man sound thrashing. For this
Cobb was suspended and the Detroit ball
team refused to play any more games until
the suspended man is reinstated. This
matter Is now under consideration and
until 1t Is settled games with the Detroit
club have been Cancelled. There is no
doubt that ball players have to submit to
vast amount of abuse and ugly remarks
from certain class of spectators. Cobb
says that In this particular instance the
limit had been reached and as he was not
afforded the protection he was entitled to
he determined to take the law In his own
hands. The suspension that followed does
not seem to be the only thing that should
have happened. Cobb was a law-breaker
and should have been arrested on the
spot. The courts ought to have had some
say In the matter. Cobb is not fayorite
with some spectators, and he has more than
once been charged with disorderly actions
on the field, hence there is not the sympa-
thy for him that would be extended to
Others. The man who was assaulted was
fellow who had lost an entire hand and
part of another. 1t Is said he Is a regular
frequenter of ball games and that he has
made 1t his business to hurl offensive
remarks at the players. So the whole
thing In nutshell appears to be that he
and Cobb should have been arrested and
punished for giving the public disgusting
exhibition.

THERE Is great difference between the
finding by political opponents of verdict
Of guilty against man for conduct in
consistent with the conduct and duty of a
Senator" and the conviction of the same
man by jury Of his peers on charge of
criminal conspiracy. But the effort is to
be made to follow up the first verdict In
the case Of Senator Richard Fitzherbert,
OF Morris county, with second verdict.
The facts have been presented before the
Mercer county grand jury, and Supreme
Court Justice Trenchard has outlined the
law covering such crimes as that alleged,
and has charged that body to consider the
case. 1t will be good thing to have the
Fitzherbert case passed upon officially by
a non-partisan body such as a grand jury
is supposed to be. If an indictment is re-
turned, then every fact in connection with
the handling of the acetylene gas bills al
Trenton by the Morris senator will be
brought out on the trial. If no true bill
Is found. 1t will be evidence that will be
generally accepted as convincing that nc
criminal case could be established against
Fitzherbert. Failure to indict or even
scquittal by trial jury would not, how
ever, be vindication of the course OF
the Senator on the gas bills. Even if he
had no criminal intent, or no selfish motive
to serve. he showed lack of appreciation
OF his duty to his constituents and TO the
state. He had complete misconceptiop

Special Attention

Seventeen head of horses and mares
that have been used in the trucking
business will be sold cheap, as they are
too heavy for my livery business; they
would make good horses for grocers,
butchers, bakers, milkmen, truckmen,
icemen, farmers, or any kind of heavy
work; they range in age from 5 to 9
years old, weight from HOO to 400.
Attention is called to bay team, Tom
and Kate, 6 and Z years old, and work
like one horse; and team that weighs
23O0, color black and roam, that would
make as good farm horses as money
could buy. These horses and mares
are sold for no fault only that I am
starting in the livery business, and
they are too chunky for light driving.
| also have two young mares that are
heavy in foal, and will give a written
guarantee with each horse and mare
just what they are, and if they are not
as l represent, then I will not ask you
to keep them. This is good chance
for anyone that needs horse to buy
one cheap. Call at the office of

Death, with unusual suddenness, claimed one of the early pioneers of Alaska when Jack Conlin was strick- en in the Eagle saloon on Saturday night. Although he had complained of sickness during the day the ser realized by none and his sudden taking off caused a profound shock to his friends. Death was caused from heart failure, and it has since been ascertained that the deceased
 had been subject to heart disease for some years.
 Conlin had told some of his friends during the day that he was not feel ing we'll and had been advised to go to the hospital He evidently felt that his condition did not warrant this however, as he said he preferred to rest where he was. At about g o'clock he suddenly fell from his chair and when Dr. McCallum, who was immediately summoned, arrived the physician declared that death had already occurred. Commission CT Dillon was notified and he visit ed the place, after which the under taker took charge of the remains Conlin was born in Massachusetts B years ago, and came to Alaska in 1892. He helped to build the A. c. company's trading post at Unalas- ka and since that time has been in most of the Northern camps. He had many friends, all of whom speak of him in the highest terms. Be cause of his ailment he at all times refrained from the use of liquor While in Dawson he was a great friend of Cartoonist Buell., by whom he was called Dusty Dawson" and the celebrated caricaturist frequently pictured his friend in the Sun.
 Definite arrangements for the fun eral have not as yet been made.
