TAX RETURNS ARE
PRACTICALLY ALL IN

Practically all of the commission
ers of revenue have turned in their
books. State Auditor Moore stated
yesterday, and very shortly he will
be able to give out tabulated COM
parative statement OF the tax as
sessments. which he believes will
show very gratifying increase over
1912.
One OF the struggling districts,
which came in late. was the court
house district of Halifax county, but
the figures were so impressive that
State Auditor Moore hadn't the heart
to criticise its hardness. Here are
the comparative figures:

At 1t Again.

At Ii Again.
Now we are at 1t again. The imaginative
Young gentlemen of the Dispatch once
more have their excited nostrfls filled with the
blood and smoke and fire of battle. In this
latter part of August toward the end Of the
delicious, dreamy Indian summer time, they
begin to tell us of the terrific combat to be
waged over the speakership of the next house
of delegates, to be elected in November and to
meet in January, four months hence. We are
informed of hot fight" among seven aspirants.
The Times Dispatch lives in condition of
seeing red. Its lust Is political murder and It's
dreams are Of carnage and awful strife. 1t

hosts Don Quixote in his widest and crazest
moments. Colonel Roosevelt in his most frantic
vision of Armageddon, never saw such frightful
scenes of slaughter as are conjured up by the
fevered who supply sensations, shocks
and thrills for the quiet citizenship of Rich

Boys and the Movies.
Philadelphia is thinking of censuring Its NOV
ing pictures a little strictly. 1t has an
idea--or of it's citizens have an idea
that the movies do a lot of harm in hitherto
unsupported way. The idea is that they teach
mpressionable boys to admire bold, bad men
and that a result these boys try 70 be bold
and bad themselves. Consequently there is a
movement foot to do away with pictures of
what is described the blood and thunder
type.
This is largely nonsense Moving pictures
Of adventures with a little blood letting now and
then do the boys no harm. They need a GER
tain amount of that sort of thing. Stevenson.

The movies do not need censoring of the
sort which is proposed. Their bad men always
succumb in the end to their good men. Right

heroine to live happily ever after. The Phila-

Passing over the church, probably
no institution may trace its princi-

for education, we shall never get
vigor of mind or strength of char

the old days of the private school
and academy, when young men with
taste for learning were compelled
to earn their own living, pay their
own tuition, and buy their own
books, bred better scholars and bet
ter men. The hard-working mechanic
of the old day, who has earned an
honest living by honest toll, and has
brought up his family and paid for
his home, is a better citizen and
better man in mind and body than
the son for whom he has toiled.

In our own state, more than half

children, have deposits in the saw

small percentage of our people who
are without property, explanation
can generally be found in the irreg-
ularity Of their habits

We hear lot of talk about a new

can conceive of no greater mis-
fortune to our country than a con-
dition of self-satisfied ease and idle
ness, when citizens are willing to
live without toll, or who are willing,
to accept of the sup
port and charity of others, either
private or public. The tendency of
old communities, as may be illus
trated by the cities of the old world,
is to build up a paupeI class, a class
born in poverty, who are reared, and
who die in poverty. AS Ruskin says,
There is a working class, strong

On the occasion of the laying of
the cornerstone OF Bunker Hill
monument, contemplating its COM
pletion, Mr.. Webster said:
Depending patriotism may turn
its eyes hitherward aad be assured
that the foundations of our national
power still stand strong"
Today, we make these words our
own. Desponding patriotism may
turn its eyes hitherward and be as
sured that the foundations of our ma
tional power still stand strong.
This is an extraordinary era. The
age is restless. 1t is a time of dis.
content, of complaint, and of dis
satisfaction. 1t is a time when old
things and old ways seem out of
place. The Sermon on the Mount,
the Golden Rule, and the Ten Com
mandments, are out of fashion. 1t
is an age Of fault finding, when every
man, like the Pharisee, thanks God
that he is not as other men are.
Men feel that their lot in life is hard,
and think that forces outside them
selves are the cause. We seek to
improve our own conditions by cor
recting others. We rarely hear the
old Scriptural injunction, that whom
the Lord loveth He chasteneth, or,
that contentment is the key to hap
piness. The family Bible is no long
er blotted, blistered, with the tears
of those that have found comfort
and rest unto their souls.
Not all Progress
Growth implies a change in all
the parts. But, unfortunately,
change has become so associated in
our minds with growth that we have
confused the real distinction be-
tween that which causes growth and
the change which is associated with
decay and dissolution, and we are
being led to believe that all change |
is growth, and we describe it under |
the general name of progress.
Now, progress is an act of elm
mating the useless. So that the !
or one who is guided |
by the true principles of the past,
is under suspicion, ana one who
abides in doctrines as sound as Holy
Writ is in danger of being looked
upon as out of date and behind the
times.

Toll, unremitting toll is the les

the scythe, and the hour-glass, are |
constant reminders of mans limita- |
ton. But the beehive, the symbol |
of industry, has always been a fav-
orite emblem of Masonic care.
By the practice of two principles, |
industry and economy, mans world |
ly wants are supplied. Without eco
nomy none can be rich, with it, |
none can be poor. While industry |
has gathered unto itself the fairest |
fruits and the richest rewards. To |

and undermined the flow of another
SO that months supply of ice was
lost. In spite of the open winter we
succeeded in harvesting third more
ice than last season and hoped to
get through without buying ice, as
we have been obliged to do for

necessitate our buying ice again this
year and in view of that certainty
we feel we are justified in raising the
