1t has been said that the last chord

We are publishing this week on
the fourth page the annual county
levy showing the receipts and dis
bursements Of the county for the
past year. The levy should be gone
over and carefully scrutinized by
every tax payer in the county,
The tax payer is the party who bears
the expenses of the county year in
and year olt and therefore should
know where his money goes.
Owing to the fact that there are
both and general and primary elections
in each and every year, the elections
cost the people great Of money.
While we d. not know for a fact
but it is rather to be presumed from
a standpoint of reason that the two
sets II ballots last year increased the
cost of the election in November
Two different forms had to be made
up and we know Of no printers who
don't charge more for setting up two
forms than one One form Of ballo
would have cost the people les;

The Court expenses we believ'
could be greatly decreased. The ia,
payers can be thankful This year thai
there are no type-writing items in the

There may be other items that tb,

CARDINAL GIBBONS CELEBRATES
18th BIRTHDAY.

In the peace and quiet surround
ing the home Of valued friends our
good Cardinal james Gibbons on
Tuesday celebrated his 18th birthday.
It is given to few men to live that
many years with body and mind to
be able to respond TO the important
duties of life much less the ardent
duties that accompanies such high
position in life as that held by Cardi-
nal Gibbons To fewer still is given
this ripe number Of years with the
pleasure Of being able to look back
upon a life Of great usefulness and
honor and to know that during these
many scores Of years that one can
look back and say that not one enc
my have made, but all whom have
known and faced are friends.
This is tue of our beloved Cardi-
nal Gibbons and not our beloved alone
but the beloved of everyone who has
ever known or heard Of him A life
such as decribed above makes him a
fit subject for congratulation on every
side. His serene, quiet and simple
life has endeared him to men Of all
creeds and even those OF no creed
at all. His long life, with its many
delicate responsibilities, exhibits few
mistakes; in fact if he has made any
it is likely that he alone knows them.
There are none as far as the outside
world knows.
That be is beloved not onli by all
creeds, BY all races and by all eoun-
tries was never more plainly demon
strated than a year or SO ago when
a great civic demonstration was Civ

his fiftieth anniversary as priest aud
twenty-fifth as Cardinal. This great
celebration which took place in Bal
timore when he was showered with
congratulations and honor, was
participated il by men of all creeds,
by representatives Of all nations and
men Of every race.
His entire life has been devoted to
the cause Of humanity and religion in
such quiet and simple way that bis
every act has received the common
dation Of every one regardless Of
creed or race.
The common tie that has bound so
many different sorts Of people to the
Cardinal has been his broad sympa-
thy, which knows no distinction Of
race or class; the kindly heart, which
has always been open u every hu-
man approach, and the genuine spir-
tuality that has made him as one
who, walking the common paths Of
life, dwells even in the flesh upon
the celestial mountains.
We join the many thousands Of
friends Of Cardinal Gibbons in sin
cere congratulations on his 18th birth
day and extend our best wishes fol

elk good health.
