Our National Asset.

1t has been the favoritc diversion
of certain bombastic orators in the
midst of their speeches to break forth
I'm the statement that 1--WE are the
greatest nation on the face of the
earth" This statement, no matter
what else may have been said, always
brings forth prolonged applause from
the multitude. In sense we are
great as a nation. In commerce and
the art of acquiring wealth possibly
we are unsurpassed, but in the de-
velopment of the fine arts, ETC., we
are one of the laggards in the pro-
cession Of nations. The tragic events
of the past few weeks have brought
to the surface that which perhaps
after all is the most truly American
and which cannot help but win the
admiration of the whole world, viz,
the open heartedness of our 'opl"
and prompt desire to give surcor in
time of distress. Israel Zangwill has
called us THE Melting Pot' of the
world; but in the Cosmopolitan
character of those who 60 to max" up
our citizenship there is early and
permanently impressed the common
thought of brothrrhool
The tornado that caused such de-
slruction of life and property in Me-
hraska and other states, the floods
that devastated Ohio, Indiana and
adjoining territory, were scarcely
made known by the press when
purse strings were unloosened and
food and clothing started to the
stricken stations. All ranks and
conditions took part in this demon
stration of real, tangible sympathy.
The official bodies of states and cities,
the Church in its many drnomina
tional forms, the organized chart
table associations, the newspapers,
bankers, merchants, actors, day Ia
borers, the sporting fraternity etc,
all felt the touch of compassion and
became at once Good Samaritans.
This spirit, which we might call
the American spirit" is the hope OF
our nation. In course of time we
will have our share of literary and
musical celebrities, famous wielders
of the brush and dexterous sculptors.
We are yet a sturdy infant. In the
eugenics of our birth we were well
conceived in the great thought of
liberty and fraternity and in our
keen enjoyment of the first, we alb
sorb the second, and are logically
concerned in the veal and woe of our
nrghbor. The greatest asset of the
people of these United States in spite
Of the natural individual selfshness
that exists in every community, is
not only ito live and let live" but
to live and help live. May this spi-
rit continue to guide US as a people. !
I'VE share our mutual woes, our
mutual burdens bear"

Lltr Lost In The High Water Near
Emmisburg.


John Hoke, boss carpenter of Mt
St. Mary's College, Emmitsburg, was
drowned as a result of the high water
following Thursdays torrential rains.
Hoke lives about two miles from En-
mitsburg and to get to his home he
must cross Toms Creek. 1t is said that
while in Emmitsburg on Wednesday
night he imbibed too freely and was
taken from town by a friend and when
it was thought safe for him to proceed
alone he was left by his friend, who re-
turned to Emmitsburg Hoke was mis-
sing all day Thursday and search was
made for him.
Not until late at night was it learned
that a small boy had seen Hoke along
the creek in the morning clinging to
bush and calling for help. The little fell
low offered no help, and then the water
was about waist deep around the man.
The boy did not report the matter until
night.
The supposition is that after being left
by his friend, Hoke slept along the road
and near the creek. During the night
the rain and the high water came and he
found himself surrounded by water and
in a dazed condition, and was unable to
save himself.
A search was made for his body along
the creek, and it was not until Friday
morning that the body was discovered at
Sisters Dam, by party of men of En-
mitsburg and college students. The body
had been washed in field and was left
by the receding waters.

CURRENCY INSURGENTS

Net Result Is Further Delay il
 Amendment and Final Vote
ASSOCIATED PRESS prspATcHI

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH1
 WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Curren- ey insurgents continued an attack on the administration currency DiU Of the house in democratic caucus today. Representatives Galloway of Texas. Bowdle, of ohio, and others talked against the bill, while members of the banking and currency committee de tended it. The net result was further delay in taking up the measure for amendments and the general debate may not be concluded in caucus to- morrow.
 Representative Galloway in the course of a long speech, declared he hoped for some way to bring pressure to bear to make the chairman of the currency committee or members who know, tell who it was who originally drew this bill"
 Galloway added he understood the measure was drawn by John V. Ear we'll of Chicago, and other repre- sentatives of the banking interests. He opposed the plan entirely and de- clared he had a substitute of his own based on the system used in Scotland for PIT years and in Canada for a shorter period without panic.
 Bowdle pleaded for delay until the in pleading general ignorance was trying to shift the blame for the bills of an undisclosed author"

SCIENTIFIC
 ASSESSMENT
Assessor Bone HcWcd Closer On All Classes of Proper tv to the Line as Shown by Changes by the State Board.

Notwithstanding the changes that the state board of equalization thought it had found it necessary to make in the assessments of Maricopa county it is evident that there was a more scien- tific and a closer assessment in this county than any other.
 T. P. Shaughnessey, deputy county assessor yesterday, speaking of the work of Assessor Bone said yesterday that the publication of a few facts in defense of the MaricOpa county assess ment for 1919 would not be amiss at this time in view of the impression prevailing that the county was not as sessed in proportion to the other coun- ties of the state and that it was found necessary by the state board to make a greater raise in Maricopas assess ment than was made in other counties.
 This was true" said NIr Shaugnes- sey." only in that We have more of the classes Of property affected and not that the raises ordered by the board in this county Were greater on the classes of property in question than the raises ordered in other counties on the same classes Of property. as shown by the finding of the state tax commission, while sitting as a state board of equal izatiOn.
 "MaricOpa county has nearly 10000 names on the tax roll this year. nearly double the individual assessments of the nearest competitor in point of names, requiring greater diligence and effort on the part of the county asses sor and the board Of supervisors in making and equalizing assessments.
 The Maricopa county tax roll shows 23,983 city and town lots assessed and on this assessment a flat raise of five per cent was ordered by the board.

a sore. His clothing irritated his body and he lost his rest at night. The disease was so irritating and would itch so that I have seen him in such an irritating condition that he would cry and scratch himself until the blood would run. He was very much dis figured as the skin would be torn from his cheeks from the scratching.
 "I tried all the simple remedies that knew of to stop the pain and burning; used - and -- and bathed him in soda water but they did not cure him. This went on until January 1912 when I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. which proved a complete cure in a short time" (Signed) Mrs. Laura Stephens, Nov. 19, 1912.

MOhave county with about One-fOurth the number of city and town lots was raised twenty per cent; CoconinO cOun- ty. ten per cent and Graham, five per cent. while reduction of ten per cent was ordered in Yavapai county by the state board of equalization after the county board of that county when in session had made reductions in this class of property.
 Tn merchandise, We have the largest assessment by far, of any county in the state and in the assessment of S2.564 ,949 for this county, only three changes were ordered making a total raise of less than $27 1000, while in Apache, Cochise, Greenlee, Mohave, Ma vajo, Pima, Santa Cruz, Yavapai and Yuma counties, adjustments of more than five per cent on the entire mer- chandise assessments were necessary
 In the assessment of all public ser vice corporations our return was found satisfactory and in keeping with the plan of assessing at full cash value while in many counties it was neces- sarv to make very material raises in this class of property.
 "The assessment shows that if we were in error it was in the mooted question Of the valuation of farm lands and city and town lots and was in fav- or of the small tax payers who had been heretofore paying the lions share of the taxes. The assessor of MaricOpa county was complimented by many as sessors and supervisors from other counties during the convention of as sessOrs and supervisors of the state, held in Phoenix recently on the fhOr- oughness of the assessment considering the number and magnitude of the as- sessments and the large territory cov- cred. The state tax commission agrees that this is the best and most scien- tific assessment ever made of Mari copa county and that MT. Bone is en- titled to great credit as the assessing of this county is a big job for one man."

KILLING WEEDS BY A TAX.
Los Angeles Has a Novel Experiment
 in City Betterment.

Los Angeles is embarked on the novel experience of taxing it's weeds out of existence, and the experiment has aroused so much interest among those who study municipal affairs all over the country that it is the subject of special report by Ethel CIeland to the National Municipal league
 Twice a year, in August and April" she says, 'in accordance with an or dinance of July 1912, owners, agents and persons in possession of property must remove from their sidewalks. property, land and lots all nOxious weeds and vegetation. except such as are cultivated for use, ornament food or fuel, all dead trees, tin cans, rub bish, refuse and waste material of all kinds which may endanger or injure neighboring property or the health welfare of the residents of the vicinity Otherwise the board of public works will remove all or any of these detri- ments to civic beauty and hygiene and to insure payment for their removal and collection assess the cost, together with 9 per cent thereon to be added to cover interest, upon the property.
 This assessment is known as a weed tax. All weed taxes unpaid on the first Monday Of November of each year be- come delinquent, and 10 per cent is added to the amount of the tax when thus delinquent, and a delinquent list. with an accompanying alphabetical in deX of names, is published once week for three successive weeks in a Los Angeles paper, with a notice appended declaring that unless these taxes are paid in tWenty-eight days from the date of the appearance of the first notice, the property on which they are assessed will be sold to the city As costs of such publication, 50 cents is collected on each separate piece of land separately assessed
 All property delinquent on which the weed taxes and the ensuing penalties have not been paid on the day fixed in the published notice is sold to the city, and, if not redeemed within a year, deed is drawn up conveying to the city the absolute title to the property
 ITO redeem the property within the year after it is sold to the city the owner plays the weed taxes, penalties, and costs due thereon, and interest on the same at the rate of per cent, all unpaid weed taxes assessed since the sale, and also certain penalties, vary ing with the time after the sale such payments are made."-Fr0m the New York Times
