TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESEN.
TATION Is TYRANNY" SAYS
SHE, But SECRETARY An
THONY WILL RESPOND.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 1.-Assess-
ment of DIR. Anna Howard shaw's per-
sonal property at 100000 by the
Delaware county comm issioners today
called forth an extended protest from
the famous suffragette's secretary, Miss
Lucy B. Anthony.
How can DR.. Shaw make out a state
ment of her personal property on a
blank that read him or it," said Miss
Anthony. "a woman like DIR. Shaw
objects to being called either him or
it on government blank"
When Dr. Shaw arrived at her home
in Maryland, December 31st. after at
tending the convention of National
Suffrage association. of which she is
president. she found taxation blanks
waiting to be filled out. Hugh b. Bran
non, tax assessor of Upper Providence
township, had been instructed by the
county commissioners to get personal
property returns from every taxable
person in his district.
DR.. Shaw refused 20 fill out the
blanks. at the same time calling on all
other women who believe In suffrage to
follow her example.
I'm fearful to think what my taxes
will be now" said DR.. Shaw that day.
The law says that where taxable
person shall fail to make returns the
assessor shall get a valuation of his
own and add fifty per cent as penalty.
Taxation without representation is
tyranny and | will furnish no statement
of my personal property"
nr Shaw claims that she has less
than ss.oo0 taxable interests.
When the county commissioners sat
at Media last Thursday TO hear pro-
tests, DR.. shaws secretary, Miss An
thony appeared at the board meeting
and filed it. She was told her only al
tentative was to fiji out the blanks

Editor For q Day.

When Lord Northcliffe the English publisher and peer, was plain MT.

The tabloid World, famous in newspaper circles, was the result
 Harmsworth called the staff into con sultatton. Henry N. Cary, then news editor, suggested as a joke that all members of the staff should appear that night in full evening rega1ia. Everybody consented with one excep tion--one man refused. Harmsworth came down in a sack suit. He was astonished at the display of evening suits and shfffed the mothbaIl smell from afar He asked mildly whether the World editors and reporters ap- peared thus clad as usual thing, and was solemnly assured they did. The only person A-sesseA E1e Rarmsworth was the editor who would not fall in with the joke.
 Also, the only man HaFnisworth took back to England with him was the man who was clad like himself Sat urday Evening Post.

DECREASED MAILS
 FOR EUROPE IN ! LOCAL POSTOF FICE
Falling Off Also in the Domes- tic Service Noted Since
 Outbreak.

Postal clerks at the local post office and it's branches note 3 remarkable decrease in the amount of mail for Europe. Tt is practically impossible for mail to secure transit, and upon arrival across the ocean no guarantee of prompt delivery, for the warning nations have taken control of the railroads in order to expedite the transp portation of troops to the front.
 There is also a noted decrease in the amount of domestic mails. The cause of this, local postal authorities do not venture to say, but the titanic struggle that threatens Europe, they say, might have put American mer- chants on guard, and as a result are expending as small an amount as pos sible, in order to meet. all emergen- cies that might arise before the cul- imitation of the war; It is estimated by local postal authorities, that should hosttlities continue, mails forwarded during the month of August from the local post office will be the ama1lest since Bridgeport has become such "a. prominent manufacturing center of the United States.
