When choosing fur trimmings. the
color of the fur should be given careful
attention. Brown fur looks best with
brown, pink and yellow; black fur Is
better with blue, green or red.

ed eighty-six assessors, while forty
two assistants were appointed.
In Franklin county in the year 1913,
there were just thirty-seven assessors
of personal property elected and fifty.
six others were appointed, making a
force OF ninety-three assessors. In the
same county this year under the
Warnes law there are only thirty-four
appointed assessors working and, in
fact they constitute the only men list
ing property therein.
Under the old system there were
more appointed than elected assessors
in these counties, and what is true in
Franklin and Hamilton counties is
true in many other cities and counties
in the state of Ohio, although the pro-
portion Of elected and appointed as
SCISSORS may vary. These figures from
these two counties show conclusively
that the old listing method was a
mighty strong instrument for machine
building. The public payrolls were
loaded down with men who were not
needed. Not only in Hamilton and
Franklin counties have big reductions
been made this year in the number OF
assessors but the same is true in ev-
cry county of the state.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 23-Of the
countless celebrations held throughout
the Englisb-speaking world today in
honor of the 350th anniversary of
Shakespeare's birth, none perhaps was
marked with more sincerity and en-
thusiasm than that held at the home
for retired actors at HoImesburg,
which was endowed by Edwin Forrest,
who was one of the worlds greatest
Shakespearean performers. The cele-
bration was participated in by the
dozen or more veterans of the stage,
who are now inmates OF the home,
and many OF whom in their time we're
famous for their rendition of Shake
spearean roles.

THE WAR IS ON

The first blow has been struck by
the United States in what must be a
war with Mexico, and all the calamity
that comes with war will be Witnessed.
The United States has been patient for
a long time with the horrible condi-
tions that have existed in Mexico and
has shown great restraint over many
acts of insult President Wilson has
{ done everything possible to avert a
war, but II seems that the inevitable
has come and the precipitation was
sudden. With their characteristic
patriotism, the people of the United
States will stand firmly at the back
of President Wilson in maintaining
the honor Of the nag aud an that IL

former u S. Senator J. b. Foraker at

by the plan, this remarkable tribute is
paid to the new law under the mis-
taken notion that it is an adverse crit
icism:
Under the Cox school law 1000 dis
trict superintendents, will receive not
less than 5000 a year of which the
State will pay half, which will he over
100000, Eighty eight county super
intendents are to receive $1,000 TO
$2500 annually which will require $780,
600 more. This is one of the laws
which create necessity for increasing

To be sure the amount necessary is
tremendously exaggerated and no ad-
mission Is conceded of the great say.

or, the spirit of the law is made mani

to enter localities where the tax dupli

munities now suffering from the lack
of educational facilities. The commits

recommendation that the State at larg,

large cities We're virtually unanimous
in their patriotic zeal to aid the les,
wealthy rural school districts. It pas

work should be opposed, especial,

years get a complete and honest as

than that? 1t is what this paper has
been working for for years. This it
has done on moral as we'll as economic
grounds. dishonest assessment of
property has done untold harm to
Ohio. It has paraly2ed its moral yigor,
or, as Judge Evans says in his book,
Taxation in Ohio" "The tax system
OF Ohio, is sappIng the foundations
of the Christian religion" And it's
fact, too.
But the law Is. no doubt opposed
by many people because it is n Demo.
cratic law, That is mighty poor
reason II 1t Is doing good work, and
keeping people from committing per
jury, we don't care who passed it. We
have been trying for years to get a
Republican legislature to pass it and
failed. Now that Governor Cox has
got a Democratic legislature to pass
it, shall we kick? We guess not.
What men of sincere purpose and high
views want are results and we are
getting them under the Warnes law
II may not be ia all respects a perfec,
measure, but Il VIII do for begin

This sort Of legislation is for the
