Full Value Assessments.

Des Moines Tribune: II Judge Bren.
mans ruling is undisturbed 1t would
look as though the executive council
would be compelled to bring property
assessments in the state up to cash
values.
The law is perfectly plain.
The courts must have power TO en-
force the law.
If the executive council finds II
compulsory to act there is only one
thing to do and that is to make the
job thorough. When the assessment
is made let it be plain that every
class of property has been brought &c
the chalk line.
An honest assessment at cash val
ues will harm nobody, and will greatly
benefit many classes Of property that
have been heretofore assessed rela-
lively too high.
A full value assessment will serve
to Ak very concentrated public at
tention on our taxing bodies and thai
also will serve a good purpose.
Let the people bear their just bur
den OF public expense. Let then
wake up to what is done with the
money annually taken out OF theil
pockets.

Taxpayer."

Kansas City Times: The man oil
large means, who regards himself
with pride as an important taxpayer
usually assumes for that reason he
ought to have more to say in the di'
reetion of the government than the
man of small means.
Well, if he. pays more taxes, he
lodges more taxes. But let that pass,
In his relations to the state compare
his services with those of the man
who hasn't had the gift Of money
making
The rich man doesn't furnish any
more boys for military service In de,
tense of his country; probably he
doesn't furnish so many. He doesn't
serve any oftener on the jury; in
deed, he usually gets excused from
Jury service. If he pays more for the
support of government. he gets more
out of the government. He resorts
oftener to the courts, He derives tire
mendous advantages from organized
society. His business would be worth
less If it were located In Central
Africa.
Finally, he takes little interest in
governmental affairs, and the chances
are that he fails to vote when the
moor man takes pains to go to the
polls.
The man who swells up over the
fact that he is large taxpayer is
usually not nearly so good a citizen
and ought not to have as much to say
about the government as the plain
voter who does his duty by his fam
lily and the city.

DIES MONIES. May 9.--The mad
desire Of American woman to follow
the ever-changing fashions is respon.
sible for half the high cost of living,
, according to Walter Sargent, of the
University of Chicago, who addressed
the Western Drawing and Manual
Training Association at the Coliseum
| here.
Mr.. Sargent says II American wo-
men would be content with three or
four dresses made after one pattern
like the Chinese women do, the prob
lem of high cost Of living would be
solved.
TO see IL some such change cannot
be brought about Mr.. Sargent urged
npon the convention the appointment
OF a committee to start movement
for the establishment Of national
school of design where American de
signs not only for furniture, tapes
tries and rugs, but even for womens'
clothes would be made.
Some OF the styles are not only
absurdIy grotesque but they keep the
nation poor said Mr.. Sargent. This
desire to follow every rapid change
of fashion is only an Indication of
lack of an esthetic standard OF ideal.
AS for our tapestries and carpets,
Paris sends us much stuff that the
French neople won't have Let us
originate our own American designs
and encourage our young art students
to go seriously into the designing
field"

Olive Tablets. Substitute for Calomel.
Calomel is effective, but dangerous
causing bad after-effects.
Olive Tablets are especially made
to take the place of Calomel. DR.. Ed

foe. He saw its dangers and its dis
advantages in II years. practice,
treating patients for all kira
and bowel complaints. In his efforts
to do without Calomel he developed
his now famous little olive-oil-colored
tablets. Olive Tablets are mild but
effective. Safe and sure. Pleasant
to take but unfailing in results.
Olive Tablets oil the bowels just
enough to start Natures own action,
and they tone up the liver at the
same time. They are made from a
rare combination Of vegetable com

His Earnestness.
THEMES REACH THE PEOPLE
Arguments, While Spiritual Are
Practical and Convincing From
Beginning to End.

Each service brings larger con-
gregations to hear the noted evange-
list now at the Cairo Baptist church.
Yesterday afternoons meeting was
more than double the size of the
former afternoon meeting. At the
evening service the church is being
filled. Cairo is fortunate in having
SO distinguished man in one OF
her pulpits.
In the afternoon Dr. Lamkin
preached on the Philosophy OF
Prayer or the place OF prayer In a
revival of religion. He chose a
large number of Scripture passages
which furnished beautiful back
ground to the entire sermon. and
then said in part "The subject sugs
gested by these various passages Of
scripture is of Infinite Importance at
the present moment as we stand on
the Threshold of a great spiritual
revival.
At the night service the Omnipo-
tence of Victorious Faith was DR.,
Lamkins theme. The text itself was
one that aroused interest; And
Jesus Seeing Their Faith, said unto
the sick of the palsy, Thy sins are
forgiven thee" The mighty truth
OF this inspired statement, said the
evangelist, seems for ages to have
been forgotten. For these eentu-
ries the Christian world has sadly
overlooked or failed to recognize its
/ importance in Christian life and
service.
The sins of another become per-
sonal burden, as Christian mother
suffers in her wayward boy; or as
Paul says: Il fill up that which Is
behind in the suffering Of Christ.
