In addition, a number of real estate

others were present.
After Mr.. Mungle had told that he
had made complaints against assess
ments, after hearing the testimony IN
the Prudential case, he was turned
over for cross-examination by the
imposing array Of legal talent in front
of him.
John o. H. Pitney first took hold
Of him and had him state that he
owned no real estate and paid taxes
only on 5000 worth of personal prop
erty and 81 yearly poll tax.
Further questioning by Mr.. Pit
ney, Mr.. English and Mr.. Guild de-
veloped the fact that Mr.. Mungle
had volunteered to make the COM
plants after the members of the tax
board had been looking around for
some time for a citizen to make the
complaints.
1t was also brought out that COM
plants had only been made against
property that had been used as COM
p~arison purposes in the Prudential
hearing.
Following Mr.. Mungle. Mr.. Berry
qualified as a real estate expert, and
started the long task of fixing new
land values for the twenty-eight
plots in question.
Assessed Below Valuation.
Led by Mr.. Boggs, Mr.. Berry went
over the property on the east side
of Broad street, starting at 778 Broad
street, next door to the Firemen's In
surance Company building. Mr.. Berry
gave as his opinion that the land Ii
the block between Market and Clin.
ton streets was assessed at about 81
per cent. below it's real value.
This was approximately the figure
used by Mr.. Berry in giving new
valuations for all the property stu.
sted in that block. In taking up the
plots separately Mr.. Berry placed the
valuation Of the German Savings
2ank at 772 Broad street at s240, 900

Duty of Parents to Protect
Children From Themselves.

1t is the para mount duty of ps
rents to protect their children even
from themselves. and for fathers
and mothers to drag their children
into their squabbles is as bad as if
they threw the helpless little crea-
lures into the midst of battle
where they would be trampled upon
and mangled For father and
mother to let their children become
cognizant of their amours is worse
than taking them into a leprosy
camp. It defies the little minds
beyond the power Of cleansing
As for the woman who would
lend herself to the breaking up Of
a home in which there are children,
the curse Of God IS upon her Truly

should tie a milestone about her

NY person possessed of a gen

Petty Sentence for Speeding
Causes Death to Innocent.

Now. undoubtedly so far as those
deaths have been the result of care
less driving, at least a half, if not
three quarters. of such mortality
would have been avoided if the first
violations of auto statutes had been
dealt with in a manner proper
toned to the enormity of the crime.
AS a rule. people who can afford
to own an automobile have so much
money as to care no more for a
fine of ten dollars than rhinoceros
cares for a pin prick.

sympathy with the criminal is the
author of death to the innocent.

would have a stop very promptly
put to it if a scale of fines ade-
Quate to the criminality of the Of
Tense were established legislatively.
and if our magistrates would agree
to put their warm sympathtes in
cold storage and deal with offenses
with severity commensurate with
the seriousness of the offense and
the Just demands of the general
public.

their faith in all that is good and

a girl whose mother has the slime

Professor Who Tries to Prove

bv the recently published work of
Arthur Drews. professor of theolo-
gv in the technical Hochschule at
Karlsruhe. Germany. who, in vol
ume of 300 pages. sets himself to
what is to him, evidently, the very
@ongenial task of proving that there
has never been such q person as
Jesus Christ

audacity in the undertaking that is
almost fitted to fascinate US by it's

Commonplace presumption we
simply resent with quiet contempt
but arrogance that is so colossal
and cyclopean as that of the pro
lessor is staggering by the very
fact of its monstrous proportions.
To stand Up serenely in the face
of twenty centuries of Christian in
telligence. Christian scholarship
and Christian experience and to
challenge that whole mass of mind
as being the collective dupe of
bodiless idea and silly delusion
involves on the part of our author
degree of intellectual immodesty
and impertinence that should Sc
cure for him the title of psyche
logical freak rather than that of
theological professor.
That a building as vast in its
proportions and as immense in its
pressure as Christianity can stand
the tempests and the quaking of
twenty centuries is all the proof
that reasonable man either needs
or wants to persuade him that I'M

THE one unansverable argu-
ment against divorce Is the
child
We may say that each of Us has
right to his or her own happi
ness We may say that an un-
worthy husband or wife forfeits
whatever claim they have upon US.
We may say that when we make a
mistake in marriage there is no
more reason we should be bound
forever to 1T than there is why We
should continue to be the victims
of any other error of Judgment
We may say that TO be forced to
live with husband or wife whom
we hate and who brings out all
that IS worst in our natures. Is de
moraliaing to our characters
it condemns us to live in an atmos
phere in which ali that is beautiful
and ideal in life vithers and dies
as if blown upon by the blast of a
simeon
This Is true There Is no other
such bughting influence in the
world as discord However pa
tieutly borne. it turns the very soul
into an arid desert. and nobody can
blame the individual who seeks to
escape from this death -in-life.
