That Supreme Court Decision.

Attorney George w. Lynn is about Ia
file an application for rehcaring in the
land case recently decided against him
in the supreme court. the result of which
is OF considerable interest to 1.-The tax
payers Of this county. II Mr.. Lynn wins
on the rchcaring the county will get the
taxes out of which il was swindled in
1901. amounting to about $4,000. in
GLIDING interest; and, If the decision. as
now made. stands, then the big corpora
ton will back up behind the courts de-
cision and retain the ,ax-moncy they
swindlcd the county out Of in that un-
lawful sale. There seems to be no con-
tention but that the county received less
than Was due from the lands sold and
that the officers proceeded without au-
thority and defraudcd the other tax-pay-
crs who have always paid the taxes on
their lands in full. But the court holds
that MIR. Lynn was in duty bound to hold
UP that sale, and could not do any thing
that would destroy or reflect on fraudu.
lent sale.
We have always laborcd under the
impression that it would be the duty of
the states attorney to see that the Of
ficers did not act lawfully or pcrpc-
trate any fraud upon the rights or inter
ests ut the taxpayers. and. upon sccur-
ing knowledge of any such fraud or
wrongdoing. he should take action to
have 1t remedied: but this decision seems
to hold that the law is otherwise. II
this is law. We think il time to have the
law amended so that honest taxpay crs
may be protected from the looting OF
their revenues by graftcrs who reach
county officials by gifts of money and
concessions on the purchase of land. and
by hiring them at excessive salaries,
such as was shown to have been done in
1901. II is patent to all that Emmons
county was robbed of several thousand
dollars of her revenue, and there should
be a law that will prevent the protec-
ton of the robbers, either by law or by
the decision OF courts, and we will
await the final disposition before max
ing any further comment in the matter.
However. though the land company be
ever SO strong corporation, VIC do not
stand in awe OF it or any possible libel
suit. We have the letters that would
convince any twelve men or earth that
the Hackney-Boynton outfit used every
possible means of bribing Emmons coun-
ty officials.

THE KITCHENETTE EVIL

In speaking of marriage, Milderd
Champagne in her new book. Love-"
refers to the kitchenette apartment as
national evil. In explanation she
says "a woman rushes into a kitchen
ette apartment to escape housework
She gives UP her home, and all that 1t
means to her husband and children, to
escape housework and home duties. The
kitchenette apartment is not an econ
omy; on the contrary. 1t Is far more
expensive than 6. real home. for besides
the high rental. 1T means dining in
cafes. since the, kitchenette does not
permit of anything but very light
housekeeping. And from the time a
woman acquires the habit of dinino in
cafe she loses her home spirit. There
is no more sweetness and privacy to
her womanhood than there is to her
dinners. She becomes something to see
and be seen and always on dress pa
rade. She has nothing to do in her
home and becomes rqestless and Graves
excitement. She becomes that greatest
menace to herself and society-an idle
woman.
ITO be moral, every human being
must have some occupation. This is
especially true of woman. Her work
and salvation Is the home; without 1t
she is lost creature"

DESTROYING THE WORLD, AGAIN

cause large section of the bottom
of the ocean to fall into it's molten in
terror, thus causing a confiagration
that will consume the whole world.
This disaster may come at any mo-
ment, says Rabourdin. and he bids us
be ready.
1t is now in order for some scientific
Wallingford to come forward with a
scheme to insure our lives and prop
erty by strengthening the bottom of
the sea with a substantial LAYER of

'RAUs NIT 'ET

The people one meets on the street
these days
Are for most part pretty good lot.
AS a rule they are happy. despite wind
and snow,
And the rough weather bothers them
not.
you'd like to pick up
And slam down in a big pile of snow;
It's the gnk with a Crouch, who looks
into your face
And says. Didn't tell you so7"
And then there's another. who'll sure
get your goat,
In the course of your travels these
days;
He's a o-hundred-pounder, with lots
of blood heat.
That the coldest Of weather won't
phase.
You're walking along, to the marrow
you're chilled
And your face is a deep shade of blue
Then he gives you whacls and sneer-
ingly asks,
'Is it cold enough. sir, to suit you?"
There are lots of poor fools that are
looked on with scorn
Like the one who must make the boat
rock,
Or the chap who says, didn't know
that the gun
Was loaded when l sprung the lock.
But think that the parties I've men
toned before
Should be pushed in a big sound proof
cell.
Where with Joy unconfined their own
business they'd mind
And to each other their jokes could
yell.

tain desperadoes some weeks ago

The Office of policeman is a thank
less one. He risks his life for a small

counter just such desperate charac-
ters as laid Daywalt low. Many an

Waynesboro man was. and his de-
pendents have been left to shift for
themselves. 1t is shameful, but 1t is
true.
Not so in Waynesboro. Daywalt's
sacrifice was worth more than news
paper eulogy and few flowers in that
town. The people he served so well
have dubbed together and bought his
widow as comfortable little residence
as there is in the place. Prominent
men of the community have been
named as trustees, to see that no un-
scrupulous persons rob the family of
its mite. In addition, ample oppor-
tunity will be offered Mrs. Daywalt to
keep the wolf from the door.

OUR FUTURE IN CHINA

WYE are still hearing much of the
M so-called yellow peril" The
w statesmen who favor many
big battleships won't let us
forget. How practical business men
regard the matter is shown by the
announcement that a Central Penn
sylvania manufacturer. so far from
dreading the encroachments of the
products of Chinese cheap labor on
his market, is preparing to invade the
new republic with his wares and is,
indeed, already sending large consign-
ments to the Far East.
Said he in conversation with a news
paper man the other day:
There is no such thing as vel
low peril 1t should be called vel
low opportunity. 1 make certain
kinds of machinery. The market in
China to-day is for all that l can
produce I shall bend my utmost
efforts to take advantage of it. For
many years to come American ma
chfnery and American manufactur-
ed products Of all kinds will be
shipped in vast quantities into the
new republic. China is Offering and
is going to continue to offer us
vast opportunities for business at
good profit.
The new China is a very promising
field for the enterprising of other ma
tons. There are hundreds of cities in
China, for instance, that are crying
for modern improvements; hundreds
that are in need of modern electric
plants, and enterprisng firms have
agents in the field preparing to supply
that demand. Factories are being
built, mines are being opened, rail-
roads are being built, start in mod
ern agriculture and in modern for
estry is being made. 1t is generally
assumed now that the country, which
rible danger to all the world, is in
reality most promising source of
wealth for those of other nations who
have the clear vision to note the op-
portunities. and the pluck and energy
to step in and grasp them. Thus,
instead of being a competitor to be
feared, China will for many years be
in need Of skilled men of our and
European nations to help her to be-
come modern and progressive.

dency prevalent among the majority
OF the sober men of all races and
classes to stand by Yuan as the only

who appreciate at their full value

practicable will wish success to this
strong man who is daring to do
things"
