STATES ATTORNEY
NOT GUILTY

Last weeks (.idgerwood Broad
axe, speaking of the actor of our
county commissioners in nullify-
ing the action of the state tux
commission, SO far is it relates to
the taxation Of leased railroad
sites in this county. says:
The county commissioners
disregarded the orders Of the
state tax commission, because.
in their opinion, based on the ad-
vice of the states attorney of this
county. they considered that the
action requested by the state tax
commission would be illegal. for
the, reason that to tax the elevator
and other sites OIL the railroad
right OF way would be double tax
Who told the Broadaxe that the
commissioners action in this
matter was "based on the advice
of the states attorney of this
county?" The states attorney OF
this county says he gave the com
mlssloners no such advice. And il
the action of the commissioners
is legal and wise thing why rob
them of the glory of their action
by giving the credit to some one
one else?
The editor of the Times is nei-
ther lawyer nor the son of a
lawyer, but if taxing improve
ments made on a railroad right OF
way is double taxation, why isn't
taxing improvements made on d
farm or a town lot double taxa
ton? And if the commissioners
exempt the one kind of improve
ments from taxation why not the
other also?
And that word requested" III
speaking of the tax commissions
orders is good for the purpose OF
defense. Why modify it to "re-
quest" i'm one place and call II
! orders in another place?
The Times has no personal
feeling against the commission
ers. 1t doesn't want them removed
from office and doesn't believe
there is any danger that they will
be. But the Times does believe the
commissioners made a mistake in
this matter. and that time will
show it. But the Times willingly
,, awaits what the courts may say
about it, and abides their decision
whatever it may be.

Suggestions for tho Control and
Prevention Of hoa Cholera

The extreme prevalence of hog
cholera last year and the great
losses sustained are still vividly
impressed upon the minds OF
farmers and breeders, and consid-
|erable thought is undoubtedly be-
ing given as to the best way and
means of preventing a like oc-
currence this year.
1t must be borne in mind the
disease is of germ origin, and is
acquired by hogs through con-
tamination of their food supply.
This contamination may take
place in a variety of ways, prin-
cipally, however by birds, dogs,
and man, carrying the disease
germs on small particles of dirt
or manure gathered up from pla-
ces where the disease has been,
or is present.
To control the disease. owners
of hogs must be educated to the
importance of sanitary measures,
and not be permitted to lapse into
indifference, because of the pos
sible use of serum as a cure or
preventive. A steady war should
be waged on pigeons and crows,
which feed in infected pens and
carry the disease all over the vi
cinity.
Dogs are frequent carriers of
the disease and should not be al
lowed to run at large even on
owners premises, if cholera en-
lists in the neighbohood. Stock
buyers, strangers, and neighbors
visiting the premises should keep
away from hog pens, and the
individual owner should not let
his curiosity lead him to tramp
near or in hog pens belonging to
his neighbor. Above all. dead hogs
are to be burned or buried. Allow
ing dead hogs to remain unburied,
the placng of dead hogs i'm low
places. or dried up water courses
should be made misdemeaner.
Thorough and complete disinfec-
ton of pens and yards should be
practlced using a solution of
cresol U. S. P. six ounces to a
gallon of soft water. 1t should be
remembered that the disease is
not borne in the air but is acGuir-
ed by taking into the system the
disease germs. Protect your hogs
from coming in contact with sick
hogs and protect their food and
water supply from contamination.

FOUR MILLIONS OF RUSSIANS
Pleroe Their Way Into Germany
and Austria-Japan De-
olares War

war, and perhaps the greatest in
all history has been fought along
a principal part of the border line
between France and Germany re-
Sulting in the advance of the Ger
mans and the falling back of the
allied armies, leaving Namur and
other strongly fortified places in
the possession of the German
hosts.
The stength of the two armies
is variously stated. but at least a
million soldiers participated ON
both sides, and some reports place
the number at much, geater fig
ure. The cOmbatants are said to
have Out-numbered those III any
battle known to the modern world.
being so stupendous as to battle
the imagination.
The KaiSer'S immense army is
steadily pushing forward and has
already secured firm footing on
French soil. while the allies are
said to have an almost equally
large army between it and Paris,
the objective point of the Ger
mans. But there are many strong
ly fortified points they must pass
before reaching it. and it will be
no easy task to reach Paris.
Besides the advance in Belgium
other German victories are re-
ported. The French forces at
Neufchauteau and also those at
Thionville have been defeated,
and also a British cavalry brigade.
The Germans are also reported to
have recaptured Muelhausen in
Alsace Lorraine.
On the other hand four million
Russians are said to be piercing
their way into Germany and Aus
tria, with the Czar himself di-
recting his mighty army of in
vasion.
The Austrians have been driven
out of Servia with very heavy
losses and are rallying to the de-
fense of their own territory which
is being invaded by Russians. The
Germans and Austrians have been
forced to fall back before the ad-
vancing Russians. and Germany
may have to withdraw consid-
cradle part of it's western army to
assist in holding the Russians in
check.
Japan declared war against
Germany in the far east last Sun
day and the German Emperor has
given orders for the Germans in
China to resist them to the ut
most. Japan, however,, has in
formed this country that it will
cOnfine its operations against
Germany in China and the Paci-
flc ocean. and President Wilson
has accordingly issued his pro-
clamation of neutrality between
them.
Italy is almost CERTAIN to de-
clare war against Austria within
the next few days, and Greece and
Turkey will probably be in the
fray within a short time. Nine ma
tions are alreay at war and the
number is likely to be increased
to a dozen.
The latest news from the seat
of war on going to press indi-
Gates that the allied armies of
Belgium. France and England
have not been routed in the recent
great battle, but only fell back to
their original line of defense and
that the battle is still raging.

Ira Robinson, well-known north sru theatrical man, who is now a member of the Royal Players com- Dany, arrived here from Juneau this morning on the City of Seattle. Heretofore Ira has always brought along haIf-tone cut of himself, hich the Daily Alaskan has been in the habit of publishing in it's columns at reduced rates, but we understand he had it put in one of inc Juneau papers while there, to let his lady friends know he was in town, and has never since been able to redeem it. Hence the barren appearance of this write-up.

PLAYERS
 APPEAR TONIGHT

Tonight the Royal Players will present the famous "Lion and the Mouse" George M. Kline's great play. The story is based upon the irenzied finance situation of some years ago, and the Lion, or John Burkett Rider, the money king in the play, is supposed to be one of the most prominent officials in the Standard Oil combine.
 The story is as follows: Judge Rossmore has been impeached through the influence of John Bur kett Rider, as he is holding out for clean politics and thwarts the mon eyed interests, and must be crushed. Upon his advice he purchases some stocks, which is brought against him as being given him for bribe. Shirley his daughter, is away in Paris at the time and returning finds that her father is disgraced dLl OH LuC punt OL DSiLl5 AN+4 from his position. She has met the only son of the money king on the continent, and they have fallen in love with each other. On finding the circumstances as they are she de- termines to get in the household of Rider to obtain some letters that proves her fathers innocence, the love the son has for her helps her obtain them. Upon the discovery that he has been tricked, Rider orders her out of the house. It is then the terrific climax occurs be- tween the two, and the fame of this play is based upon the climax of this act.

At
SCHOFIELD To
BE INSPECTED

Brigadier-general Clarence Edwards
has been busy since his arrival. pick
ing up the official thTs,.ds Of his Lew
command, but he is now about ready
to get in close personal touch with
the regiments CT his brigade, and to
do this is planning a weeks visit to
Schofieid Barracks, to be made in the
near future
General Edwards has been staying
at Fort Shafter since coming to the
Islands, and he has therefore had an
opportunity of seeing the I'd infantry
at work and play, while the 1st and
25th are still strangers to him.
Il am looking forward to spending
a week or so at Schofield," said Cen
eTal Edwards this morning. AT Texas
City l knew every officer in the 9Th
brigade intimately, and | knew most
of the, non-commissioned officers al
SO. That's what want to. do in the
1st Hawaiian brigade. or course,
conditions here are not so favorable
for brigade instruction and coordina-
ton, for at Texas City all three regi-
ments were under canvas together,
while here We are split between Scho-
field and Shafter However. the ce-
tense problems that can be worked
out here. using the brigade as tao
teal unit, are unusually interesting,
and offer plenty of chance for field
work.
Officers of General Edwards bri
gade are likely to find that norseman-
ship will count in their favor The
general, himself finished riGer, fig.
ures that two-thirds of an infantry
mans service is spent as mounted
officer, and that too little time is
spent in mounted instruction He is
a strong advocate of regulation al
lowing forage and transportation for
infantry officers owning their own
mounts, irrespective of whether or.
not they are on mounted duty. and
even under present disadvantageous
conditions. he hopes to be able to.
start a brigade polo team that will
be a credit to the infantry
