Among the county officials who
have made an enviable record during
the first year in Office, County Assess
or B. H. Cottrell stands we'll up to
the front. Mr.. Cottrell and his eff
ticient force of deputies have finish
ed the work of assessing the entire
county and when the board of county
commissioners met as a board of
equalization last month only one COM
plant was registered on the assess
ment as turned in by them, and they
raised instead of lowered this assess
ment. We claim this is some record
for a first year in the assessors Of
flee as heretofore complaints too
numerous to mention have been filed
every year and the meeting of the
board Of equalization was always one
of the longest and hardest sessions
of the board.

Recently a Denver judge fined a
newspaper man $3.50 because he re-
fused to divulge to the court the
source of certain information he had
printed. In printing this information
the editor assumed full responsibility
for it and it would seem that the
knowledge of it's source was his own
affair to be done with as seemed
hest to him. BY refusing to divulge
his source of information the editor
merely emphasized his responsibility
and implied his willingness to stand
as the original source. From this
statement it appears to the writer
that the editor could be punished only
if the act Of printing this information
were unlawful or if the matter there
in were of such a kind as to render
the publisher liable to the law. In
other words it is not clear how he
could be in contempt so long as he
was willing to assume the RESPONSE
hil'tv Just mentioned. However, the
laws of Colorado governing such cas-.
os. doubtless explain the action OF
the judge. Yet. it would seem that
the enactment of such laws would
he a blow at the freedom which has
~iven the American press universe
pre-eminence.

ing principally of boys from two
prominent eastern colleges, played
ball in this city Saturday and Sun
dav and we must confess that the
entire city was considerably shocked
bv the manner in which these boys
conducted themselves on the diamond.
Any red blooded American can feel
for the ball team that is willing to
get out and fight for what is due
them, but the Havre boys evident y
have been so accustomed to having
every close decision that came up
handed to them, that they cannot
stand to play with an even break,
and their attitude toward the umpires
in the Saturday and Sunday games
was nothing short of rowdyish and
savored strongly Of the bowery type
of ball player. Much as WI regret tt
! offer the Havre ball team any criti'
cism we feel that we would do an in
justice to the umpires who worked
here during these games and also tn
| Glasgow ball team, should we ALLOW
| their actions while here, to pass with
out remark. The eastern colleges turf
out some excellent ball players bu
something seems to be sadly lackin,
which would come under another de
partmental heading.

1t is to be regretted that the people
of this great Republic are not to learn
the name of the conscience stricken
individual who recently sent ten one
thousand dollar bills to the treasury
department at Washington to relieve
his troubled mind. He surely must
be an interesting character. 1t may
be assumed that he is smart, else he
could not have tricked Uncle Sam
out of so large a sum of money.
That he should at this time come to
the relief of Uncle Sans %exchequer
goes to show that he is sufficiently
patriotic to feel solicitous for the
maintenance of the nations credit.

The Baltimore American comes
forth with the following on the pre-
sent-day English suffragette:
"The spectacle of forty thousand
suffragettes dressed in the national
colors and headed by Mrs. Pankhurst,
marching through the streets of Lon
don to the sound of hearty cheering,
each one eager to do her bit for
England in it's time of trial, is a
strong contrast to the sight of those
same suffragettes but a comparative
ly short time ago, smashing windows
with bricks or fighting with police
men, while crowds mobbed, hooted
and jeered them. Now the militant
suffragette is holding up her end of
| the common cause"

The base ball season for 1915 in
Glasgow was closed with the games

The base ball team quits this year

not have a dollar in outstanding in

City Engineer E. S. Severance has
had men at work the past week cut
ting down the unsightly weeds that
have been overgrowing the sidewalks
in the city. Make Glasgow the "City
Beautiful" will be the slogan of all
Glasgow people from now on and the
rapidly increasing number of we'll
kept lawns bear witness to the fact
that the spirit is rapidly spreading.

THE OF MEN

Men who have fought in battle
where death was ear neighbor for
hours at a time have said that cour-
age does not consist so much in fac
ing bullets apparently unconcernedly
as in overcoming something inside
which bids them to be towards. The
world probably would make it appear
to be fairly certain that fear is ma
tural and courage unnatural. If this
is true, is not the showing of courage
the more to be commended?
Self-preservtaion is the first law of
nature. Fear. therefore, would seem
to be instructive. The victory over
self is counted the greatest of all
victories. Courage, because cow
ardice is natural, must, therefore, be
a high form of s~elf-conquest. Sol
diers say that shame has something
to do with making men stick in the
face of danger. A correspondent who
went to the front recently wrote that
he was "scared, but also was scared to
show that he was scared" The army
officer who as censor read the cores
pondent's letter said that what he
had written about his feelings prob
ably could stand as the experience of
every man who had been under fire.
1t is said of some man occasionally
that he is devoid of fear. A search
of all the autobiographies of soldiers
almost unquestionably would fail to
disclose any hint, even an inadver-
tent one. that the writer's held them
selves fearless on any occasion of
danger. If there are men to whom
fear is unknown, they must be lacking
in human emotions. 1t might be sale
truthfully that they lack intelligence
Fear has been described as natures
means of showing a mar how he car
be brave. The thing that makes mar
afraid is the thing which. visualized
makes him know how to be brave.
Every military manual ever writer
accepts the fact that fear is natural
Long centuries of war have prove,
that men are pretty much alike an
that under the same conditions O
opportunity one battalion of troop
will do what another has done. Stu
dents of warfare know this. but the
also know that at times instinct get
the better of reason. and that {
times soldiers first will quail an
then become panic-stricken. Arm
officers are instructed how to hearte
their followers when fear seems lik
ly to get control.
It is a poor compliment to a ms
to say that he knows no fear. tt
brave man is the one who overcom
the fear that is in him. His is t
mastery over self and Circumstance.

the Treasury Department was able
to make a book showing of a balance
of about s82, OOO,o 900 on July l. That

the proposition and to seek the cooper
alton Of the citizens of the town.

FIND MISSING GIRL
DAzED AND ROBBED
Seized With Painting Spell in
Newark, Woman Took Her to
= an Apartment.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3l.-when the fer
ryboat BROOKLYN from New York came
into the slip at the ferryhouse on Staten
Island. Detective Hildebrand. Of the
Ninth branch bureau. saw a girl about
seventeen years old. wandering about
the ferryboat apparently dazed.
She was unable to answer his dues-
tions coherently and kept muttering 20
herself about "fainting" and "Satur-
dav" The detective took her to the
bureau. where she received food. and
then DR.. Runkle. OF the 8. r. Smith In
Urinary. was summoned. In answer to
questions. she said that she worked in a
shoe factory In Newark. but could not
remember the name Of It.
After being paid on Saturday, she re-
membered walking down Market street.
Then. she says. she felt faint and a
woman came I'D and offered to take her
to a drug store. What happened after
that she doesn't remember. but she
awoke In an apartment in New York
city. and there was a man and a woman
In the room. They gave her something
to eat and drink and then. she declares.
she became unconscious again.
When she was revived. she was walk
ing with the woman on a street where
the cars went around" and the wom-
an put her on ferryboat, assuring
her 1t would take her to Jersey City.
When the ferryboat landed the girl
found herself In Staten Island
She was In a distraught state and her
story was obtained only after the most
patient questioning by the detectives.
In her pocketbook was a pay envelope.

are also two or three places where rail-
road tracks skirt the edges of the
marshes. and hunting will not be per-
mitted within 200 yards OF these tracks.
A small detail Of police will also keep
a wetchfui eye on the marshes below
sheppards Landing. where there are
birds aplenty, put where Congress has
said there must be no hunting. AS this
place is so far from the city It Is q
favorite spot for hunters, who do not
mind a game Of hids-and-seek with the
police when a string OF birds Is the
prize.
There will be many local hunters in
the marshes IN the Virginia shore OF
the Potomac opposite the District
shore tomorrow. but the local police
will not interfere with them. The po-
lice have jurisdiction over the entire
river. but It is usually hard to prove
that hunters arrested In the restricted
