COURT MUST DECIDE.

The filing of a reply in The suit of
the Iowa League of municipalities
against the state executive council
brings before the court the full re
spcnsibility for saying now what shall
be done as to increase of real estate
assessments for 1914. The state made
its return and as expected, the league
raised an Issue as to whether or not
the council had really complied with
the law
The state return indicated the rea
son for not making the assessment a,
full actual value, the principal reason
being that to do so would have violat
ed the plain mandate of the Law as ia
equality of taxation. But the situation
another year will be different, for the
legislature has since passed a strong
law giving the council authority tt
proceed to compel the assessors tc
make proper assessment, somethins
never in the law until this year. 1t Ii

will result in an order of the local dis
trict court 10 have the assessors com
ply with the law as to all assessment
of property at full value.

The Society for the Prevention OF
Useless Giving, letter known, PEI
haps, as the .Spugs. r-organized in
New York city q year ago, has thrown
open its membership rolls to all resi-
dents of the United States who may
wish to enroll themselves against
foolish Christmas gifts. Il costs moth
ing to become member. All that
is necessary is to refrain from be
slowing gifts at Christmas or any 9th
er time OF year that are useless or
meaningless. The original purpose of
the society wes to prevent compal-
sorry giving by girls in stores and fac
tories to their employers, the custom
OF collective giving which the girls
felt they could not afford but which
they could not avoid without embar-
ressment and possible loss of their
positions. This was one OF the chief
objects of the ociety. but not the only
one Another prime attainment sought
IS general cultivation, by all classes
OF givers. OF more thoughtfulness and
expression OF personality in making
Christmas gifts. The main idea is to
decrease the cost of gifts and In
crease the good will. That there is
need for such society has been ap-
parent Tor some time.

ROASTING THE WATER POWER

Under the above caption the Nau-
700 Independent OF NOV 18th discuss
ed the attacks Of the Burlington Post
directed against the water power
company and Keokuk citizens. In
this connection it is pertinent 10 re-
mark that any attack made by the
Post upon the citizens of Keokuk who
were instrumental in securing the
water power for Keokuk are known
10 be as unjust as they are untrue.
The Independent says:
The Burlington Post Is Engaging in

sippi River Power company, intimat-
ing that It Is capitalistic scorpion

THE CASE OF GEORGE LONG.

Death is the liberator of him whom
freedom cannot release; the physic-
ian of him whom medicine cannot
cure; the comforter of him whom
time cannot consolidation.
We cannot conquer fate and neces-
sity. but We can yield to them in such
manner as to be greater than If we
could.-Landor.
These significant quotations are
finely illustrated by the case Of George
II. Long of Manson, Iowa. Mr.. Long

representative Iowa county seat week

OF life. as measured by years, but he
is afflicted with an incurable disease
At best he has but few short months

too. that he Is doomed to endure
agonies Of pain until death affords him
release. Yet in the face of all this
George Long is brave and cheerful.
He faces the future and all it has In
store for him with a courage that
torders On the sublime. He does not
whine or express useless regrets or
0etray weakness of any kind. Here
is what he says in his paper:
year ago DR.. Will Mayo. of Roch-
ester, operated upon G. l. Long for can.
GER The doctor was very much
pleased with the operation, because
ne believed that he had conquered the
disease. Not until two months ago,
when ne made second operation,
would he give up. The discovery was
as great a shock to him as to our
dearest friends. He made no effort to
hide the pain the discovery caused
him.
so far as surgery Is concerned, the
. case is over Every other disease in
the world has remedy. Smallpox,
typhoid fever. consumption, diph-
iberia, and many other diseases have
been conquered, but so far as cancer
is concerned there Is nothing get TO
warrant saying that cure has been

made some Roadway in prolonging
