Is there anybody in your town that the above cartoon calls to mind?
 Is there a man who assesses his stock of merchandise at 5000 and ad- vertises his $50,000 stock" for sale at a big reduction when bargain time rolls around?
 Is there a man who sells his build ing for Sl5,000 and pays taxes on it at a S5.000 valuation?
 Don't blame your assessor too much if there is. Possibly he put a fair valuation on tAis and all other prop erty when he assessed it.
 Maybe the Board of Equalization was not thoroughly informed as to values and they may kaye lowered the assessors figures. Perhaps when an angry owner complained that his prop erty was assessed at more than his neighbor's whose property was worth more than his own, the county judge

MEDICATION FOR THE PRESI.
 DENT

Now that practically all Europe has been plunged into war over pretext that must be considered trihinq- in- deed absolutely contemptible in view of the untold human misery involved it is to be hoped that fair-minded Americans will begin to estimate more at their true value the wisdom and justice of that policy of watchful waiting which has proved so success full in President Wilson's handling of the Mexican question. The United States had far more provocation for intervention in Mexico than Austria Hungary had for it's truculent attitude toward Servia. Huerta proved him. self peculiarly eXasperating person. with much more ability and a greater command of resources than were at first credited to him, and there can be no doubt that war of invasion, and possibly even of permanent occupa- tion, would have proved popular with a large part of the American public. After the landing at Vera Cruz noth- ing would have been easier than to find preteXt for such a warlike poli- cy.
 It is infinitely to the credit of Pres ident Wilson and his advisers that not withstanding the sneers and ieers of the empty-headed, the maevoent and the selfish interests that desired to exploit Mexico for the benefit of their own pockets, he refused to take advan- tage of the weakness of a sister re- public, but adhered firmly to line of action that was high-minded and pa- triotic. Contrasted with the bullying arrogance of Austria Hungary, which has set all Europe afame, the Presi- dents course has shown the highest statesmanship, and his country has benefited immensely by his patience and tact This fact is now generally recognized by intelligent Republicans. The Boston Herald, loyal standpat organ, after praising the President for resisting the clamor to attack Mexico and comparing his course with that of the authorities in Vienna under less provocation, says:
 But the President exercised a stay ing and a steadying hand. We did not go in. We have saved ourselves the horrors of war, and the long legacy of nate throughout Latin America which would surely have followed If the example of our own President could find imitators among the crowned heads of Europe it would be a blessing to humanity "-The Philadelphia Rec ord.

HIGHER PATRIOTISM

Amid 'the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds" while the earth shudders beneath the tread of contend ing armies where millions of men in a death grapple are trying each to des- troy the other; while bitter animosi- ties are being engendered wich will nightly affect for evil every child born in all of Europe during this fear ful period, making it true in the fu- ture as an old historian said of Rome, that "the human harvest was bad, we, as a nation and as individuals, should be profoundly grateful that We are free from the entanglins al- dances that have brought about this disasterous situation abroad.
 In no way responsible for it, duty to ourselves and duty to the rest of the world demands that we make the most of the opportunity.
 Every effort made to advance our own trade, to build up our own indus tries, and to increase our financial and commercial power, is a strengthening of the forces of civilization, and we would be receant to our duty if We did not, to the utmost of our ability, util- ize the opportunity.
 We may we'll set before the world the example of nation inspired by patriotism higher than that which finds its chief expression in death and destruction; a patriotism which finds its highest expression in creative work to utilize God given advantages and t create prosperity instead of poverty to bring life instead of death.
 This is the call of the hour to the people Of this country.-Manufactur- eis Record.

SAID PLAY He
WITNESSED WAS
FOREIGN FILTH
SEVERE CRITICISM WAS HEAPED
UPON THEATRICAL OFFERING
BY CRITICS, RESULTING IN
ORIGINATOR OF PHRASE BEING
HAULED UP FOR TRIAL.

London March 29.-The Brfton has
common law right to hiss a play,
provided he does so within bounds.
This right, first affirmed in a case
reported In 1910. has been reaffrmed
by a Dublin magistrate, who dis
charged man charged with kissing
play recently imported from the
continent. The defendant said the
play was foreign filth" and he con-
sidered it his duty to protest. His
protest was so violent that the play
was interrupted for some minutes.
The leading case Of 1910 appears to
have been the first instance of a
prosecution for this offense. Coun-
sci in that case said it had been diff
ficult to find presidents. for although
cat calls are as old as the English
drama, Mr.. Garrick and the first man
who have undertaken the management
of our theatrical concerns have hith-
erto cheerfully yielded to the juris-
diction of the pit without a thought
of appealing to the courts
In the case of Gregory VS. the Duke
of Brunswick. reported in 1S43, the
defendants were sued for conspiracy
to hiss off the stage an actor who was
appearing as Hamlet. They set up
that they considered the mans private
character and career so bad as to dis
qualify him from playing. They ad-
mitted that they did "a little boot,
hiss, groan and yell at the plaintiff, |
and make a little noise, outcry and up |
roar at and against the plaintiff" |
but they made only such a distur- |
bance "as for the causes aforesaid" |
(the plaintiffs character) they law
July might"
It is said. however, that Macl<1in
he famous comedian, obtained a YER
iict of guilty in a prosecution against
diverse persons for a conspiracy to |
Mss him off the stage whenever he
night appear. and 1t is probable that
he wanton hisser today would find
himself without the law. If, however,
he kissing be the spontaneous out
;ome of the spectators feelings, he
an safely "hoot, hiss, groan and
-ell"

ART COLONY IN
PARIS MADE UP
OF JAP ARTISTS
THEY HAVE INVADED THE
FRENCH CAPITAL AND IN SOME
INSTANCES HAVE BROUGHT
THEIR HOUSEHOLD GOODS,
AND ARE READY FOR LONG
STAY.

Paris, March 29.-The latest art coll
ony in Paris Is made up OF Japanese
street artists from Toxic. who have
set up their household goods in the
working class quarter Of Javel on the
left bank of the Seine. Their first
prospects are most encouraging. The
exotic character OF their work has made
an Immediate appeal to the fancy of
the novelty loving Partisan, and there
is already q big demand for their Jap
anese interpretations OF the citys IA
miiiar scenes and landmarks. The
venerable pile Of Notre Dame they rep
resent standing out against gray
cream colored sky, and the fragile,
rigid lines of the Eiffel Tower. repel-
liant to the Occidental artist, seem al
most beautiful through the medium of
their quaint Oriental pencillings.
Scientists and psychical investiga-
tors are baffled by a series of strange
manifestations observable nightly at
little house at Fougeres Bievre, NEAR
Blois The house is a sort of bungalow
belonsing to a retired business man.
Between ten and eleven at night. and
again just before daybreak the cur
tains Of the house occupied by the
owner and his grandson are shaken
feverishly as liz by an invisible hand
At the same time a dull humping
shakes the walls and the floors caus-
ing the plaster to fall in thick flakes
from the ceiling. Electricians thought
perhaps it might be caused electrically
but a thorough search revealed moth
ing to support this theory. 1t is
thought by the non superstitious that
there may be a subterranean passage
from the old castle of Fougeres near by
communicating with the haunted
house" and the phenomena are either
caused by an thrush OF wind, or by
