NOT COMPELLED TO
PAY ON LOST GOODS
County Assessor Mathews
Says Leniency Will Be
Shown Flood Victims.

County Assessor Mathews announc-
ed this morning that persons who lost
property during the food would not
be taxed on what they lost as is being
done in some counties in the state.
Many county assessors were notified
by the state authorities that they
would not be allowed to take into con-
sideration the damage done by the
recent foods in making assessments
but would have to take the property
at it's value on March /.
While the county assessors have no
authority to grant rebates, there is a
law which provides for the relief of
flood sufferers. 1t provides that in all
cases where buildings or personal
property has been destroyed, in whole
or in part, by unavoidable casualty,
after being assessed for the year, and
such loss is not covered by insurance,
the county auditor shall, upon sworn
proof of such loss, allow rebate of
such proportion of the taxes for that
year as that part of the year shall
remain, where such destruction bears
to the whole year

it mildly-at this entire change in
secretaria1 demeanor.
A thoroughly practical man is Man
ton Wyvell, secretary to Secretary
Bryan. He, like the chief of the state
department, is opposed to unnecessary
flourishes and formality. He wears
sack coat and hustles around like a
managing editor when an extra is
about to be gotten out Huntington
Wilson's bright young men have to
fight off heart failure every time they
behold Wyvell, in his abbreviated coat
galloping up and down the corridors.
Although the State Department at
the present time is being rapidly de-
prived of the frills which were its
mainstay in the dear, old days, there
still is enough of the silk stocking bri-
gade left to constitute a strong minor
ity. Most of their time is spent in
wondering whether overalls will come
into fashion before Woodrow Wilson's
administration ends.
The feud between the shirtsleeves
and the silk stockings never is appar
ent ON the surface. To the ordinary
stranger it would appear that the state
department is one great and gloriously
happy family minus petit jealousies.
But after one comes to know the en-
ployes one will hear sneering re-
marks. For instance, there is one Lat
in-American official who looks like a
prize fighter (although he is a very
capable mani. Certain young gentle
men WILL on the slightest opportuni-
ty, sob audibly that such a rough
neck should be handling delicate af-
fairs of state. On the other hand, the
friends of the Latin American officials
point out with some pride-that while
the pulchritudinous boys are trying to
balance top hats on the back of their
sloping heads, this 'roughneck" is set
Ting disputes in Central American
countries with quickness and dispatch.
Ever since Woodrow Wilson, with
the full knowledge and support of Sec
diplomacy" the silk stocking element
has been keeping quiet. Not a peep
will be heard from them for about a
year or so. Then little yarns about
social Mistakes" etc, will creep into
the papers and the reader may be sure
that the silk stockings have been talk
ing. Even as Huntington Wilson's tea
things were satirized, so will other
"informalities" be made the subject
of jest.
1t is not possible to get rid of the
silk stocking element. Neither is it
possible to rid the department of the
shirtsleeves battalion.
Both are useful in their various
ways. 1t seems a shame that this I'M
dercurrent of sarcasm should cause
this breach beneath the surface
should create a feeling that no one ad-
ministration can wipe out.

during the thirteen years the plan has
been in operation, a total of 1852 men

various companies. OF this amount
s6,S19,s02 have been paid on the lines
east of Pittsburg, and $2,04S.Ss4 have
been paid on that portion of the
Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg.
OF those who have received pen
sions, 3,345 have died. so that at the
present time there are 3,S07 men on
the pension rolls of the company. OF
these, 2,s43 are on the lines east of

CHILDREN
HERE TO COMPETE
Medals to Be Given For Best
Composition on Mainten-
ance of Roads. -

A number of Wayne county school
boys and girls between the ages of 10
and Is years, will compete for the gold
medals to be given by Logan Waller
Page, public road director of the De
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
d. c., for the best composition, not ex-
ceeding 500 words. on the repair and
maintenance of earth roads. These
compositions will be submitted before
May Is, and the model will be award
ed as soon after that as the compost
lions can be graded.
The schools of Wayne county will
hold an elimination contest for the
purpose of selecting the best compost
tions from Wayne county to place in
the national competition, which, it is
expected. will draw out the best efforts
of the school children.
The material for the compositions,
according to the rules of the contest
may be obtained from books or maya
zines but no quotations taken from
any book or paper will be allowed.
Many children living in the rural
vantages of roads made impossible
through a lack of proper maintenance
and it is expected that their interest
in the competition will stimulate great
er interest among the parents. Bad
roads have prevented many children
fro mobtaining proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side of rural patients in
time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages men
toned, attending country school, may
compete. Only one side of the paper
must be written on; each page should
be numbered; the name, age and ad
dress of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he or she
is attending must be plainly written
at the top of the first page. The an
nouncement of the competition has
been sent to the superintendent Of
schools in Wayne county.

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD.

WASHINGTON, April 10-There al
ways has been more or less feeling in
the State Department between the
"shirtsleeve" and silk stocking" dip
lomats. With the sudden retirement
of Assistant Secretary of State Hunt
ington Wilson, the shirtsleeve men be-
lieve that they have cone again ii.
power, while the silk stocking brigade
views with alarm the possibility Of me
department becoming a joke among
the ENJOYS of foreign powers.
This feeling has been tradition in
the department. The iopeless miner
ity, during President Taft's admins
tration, has violently, If ineffectually,
protested against the efforts of store
taries and under clerks to APE" the
mannerisms of the English. The ma
jority has replied coldly tia, social
usages must be observed IL We are to
convince the representatives - older
nations that We are not barba riaEs
There was lot of formally when
Philander c. Knox and Huntington
Wilson ran things. On the slightest
provocation, the frock coat was drag
ged out and donned. Tea at four
o'clock became as regular as monthly
consular reports. Clerks were called
"clahks" and everybody bowed polite
ly to everybody else, while the be-
wildered stranger wondered at all this
culture and refinement going to waste.
Secretary Wilson never lifted his
voice to a high pitch. He always
spoke in soothing whispers, even when
he wanted to "bawl out" some yellow
newspaper-which was one of the best
things he did Also Secretary Wilson
never appeared wearing frayed collar
or an impressed sack coat. He always
was suave, gentle and impeacably at
tired.
Secretary Bryan never can on the
other hand, be held to be silk-stock-
ing diplomat. His best friends will
not claim that for him. Bulky almost
clumsy in his movements, clad in a
frock coat that has seen long service
and wearing the regulation black
string tie, ne is a perfect picture of
the Secretary of State that Jefferson
might have desired. The smaller
formalities so well recognized by the
outgoing administration have no at
traction for him.
Recently he met a group of diplo-
mats representing the great powers Of
Europe. Instead of a prolonged re-
ception and the interchange of pleas
ant compliments. he herded the diplo-
mots into one group and shook hands
right and left in splendid imitation
of T. Roosevelts style. Those diplo-
mats who had schooled themselves to
meet the formal reception of Secre-
tary Knox, were astonished-to put
