1 STATEMENT recently made by a local paper that it is the big
holders OF land in EIko county who IN hard hit by the action of the tax
commission, is creating false impression over the state The idea has
gone out that only the big owners are opposed to the action of the COM
m1ssona and the small owners re satisfied. Such a n impression is alto
gether wrong. The small owner is proportonately worse hit than the big
owner and the small owner is done the greatest injustice. and he is
therefore offering the most vigorous protest. The small owner does pro
portionately the greatest amount of culivating. This is necessary to make
his farm pay. When he breaks up sagebrush hill ground, his assessed valu-
aton is raised from Sc to $45 per acre This is the rankest, injustice i'm
agtnabe An equitable taxation is desired. We don't want to hit anyone,
whether "h he a big or a small holder, harder than he should be hit. Get
to the foundation of the trouble. Hit the sinecure ohiceholders. Reduce
the state expenses to where they should be, and then provide for equitable
to make just complaint.

MY MoTHER-A PRAYER.

THE FOLLOWING from the Argus has heretofore appeared in these
columns, but so beautiful is the sentiment expressed, that we deem it
worthy of a second publication. Associated with u most reverental
thoughts of the Heavenly Father, and of Christ his most perfect reflection
whose birth we celebrate, are thoughts of an angel mother And as we have
read these lines time and time again, 81 will readers, and like our
selves they will be the better for it.

this be so or not it is contended
that the outcome is likely to de-

THRONG WATCHES
c. A. R. HEROES
IN BIG PARADE
Detroit in Holiday Attire as Wis
iting Veterans March Over
Mile Route.

DETROIT, Sept. 2.-Despite threat
ening weather, coun tless thousands
thronged sidewalks and parks and
tops of buildings; jammed grand
stands and sightseeing vehicles
and sought strategic places along
Woodward avenue today to view one
of the greatest and perhaps the most
memorable of paradeS which has ever
passed through the streets of Detroit.
For the forty-eighth time members of
the Grand Army of the Republic
marched in national review.
The women were not allowed the
privilege of joining the long process
sion. A ruling by Washington Gard
ner, commander in hief, prohibited
their participation.
About a mile on woodward avenue
cars We're diverted TO other streets
during the review. Scores of patrol
men, stationed along the avenue were
reinforced by companies of boy
scouts-youngsters who have won
much praise for the efficient manner
in which they have acted as body
guards for the old soldiers since the
encampment began.
Forty-four State departments, each
led by the commander and totalling
about 10000 of the boys in blue, COM
prsed the backbone of the parade.
A campfire at the Light Guard Ar
mory tonight was to bring the days
celebration to a close.

T. P. Edwards Resigns Presi-
dency of Bloomfield Democrats
Who lndorsed Progressive.

Timothy p. Edwards, president of
the Bloomfield Democratic Club,
handed in his resignation at a meet
ing of the club last night Mr.. Ed
wards occupied the chair until the
time for reading of communications
when he turned the chair over to
Harry NJ Supiee a member of the
governing committee. He then read
the following letter:
with sincerest regret ] find it adj
Visable to turn over to another, not
bound by my personal view of the
un-Democratic pre- primary indorse-
ment of a member of another party
as a candidate for office on the DEM
ocratic primary ballot, the honor of
the presidential office.
I'm my view the recent action of
the club indorsing the Progressive
candidate for the mayoralty forfeits
the great privilege of our party as
an instrument to public service, and
would default the election to the Re-
publican party This, at the very
moment when for the first time in
Bloomfield's history, Democratic sue
cess at the polls seemed assured.
1T is impossible for me, as a DEM
ocrat, believing in Democracy and
constant to the unchanging doctrine
of party allegiance, to preside with
the freedom of conscience necessary
to the rendering of efficient service
over the execution of the club poll
cies in the coming campaign.
Therefore, while retaining mem
bership in the club, as a valued priv
ilege, / hereby resign the office of
president Of the Bloomfield Demo-
cratic Club"

ERA SUFFRAG|STS

Rejected Wilson Sympathy
Resolution, as 1t Would Be
lntruding on Private Grief.

Denial has come to the New Jer-
sey Suffrage Association that the Era
Suffrage Club of New Orleans re-
fused to adopt q resolution of SYM
pathy with the President on his be-
reavement because Mrs. Wilson was
not suffragist.
The denial is made by Kate M.
Gordon, president of the Southern
States Conference and an officer of
the Era Club, who says the resolu-
ton was not adopted because the
members concluded after discussion
that they would be intruding on a
private grief thereby.
The Newark Junior Suffrage
League will hold an open air meeting
on the evening of September II.
The Plainfield. Montclair, Eliza

Quoting evening street meetings
throughout the summer and these
will be continued until cold weather

Mrs. Arthur Dodge, president of
the National Anti-Suffrage Associa-
ton, has of late been criticising the
suffragists for raising money to
carry on their work, especially for
making the Melting Pot appeal
for old gold or silver, to help with
the Western campaigns, Mrs. Dodge
pronounces the suffragists selfish,
and other ''antis" have urged that
in these dreadful war times the
suffragists should devote themselves
exclusively to Red Cross work,
whereupon DIR. Shaw inquired with
interest as to whether the anti
suffragists were planning to close
their own headquarters, stop pub
fishing their Protest" and call back
their speakers from the campaign
States. But at last accounts the
antl-workers were still in the field.
The New York suffragists have
offered prize for the best moving
picture scenario, the Massachusetts
suffragists for the best poster. the
National Campaign Committee for
the best self-sacrifice suggestion,
and there is scarcely a campaign
State that has not planned a prize
contest open to the schools for the
