The move Is not intended 10 be a
one sided affair. Those pushing IL wish
to have the support of the mining com
panies not only in the annexation but
in the conduct OF affairs after annexa-
tion has been affected.
The great bulk of the expense neces-
sary TO conduct the affairs OF this city
is caused by residents OF mining loca-
tions that are adjacent TO the city but
which pay no taxes to the city's sup
port Outside OF the difference be-
tween the township taxes levied in the
township and the city taxes levied in
Crystal Falls, there is absolutely no
difference i'm taxes. The school, state,
county and county road taxes are the
same whether property is in the town
ship or the city. Crystal Falls town
ship raised about $4,000 in township
taxes this year Until the Iron county
voted dry the city raised about $24.-
10000 in taxes but this year il was
necessary TO raise $35,O0000 in city
taxes as the revenue from saloon

SEVEN REASONS FOR
BEING KIND TO ANIMALS

irs:-Because animals are SEN
tient creatures. They feel pain and
are rendered unhappy even by harsh
words.
Second-Because it is the worst
form Of cowardice 10 ill treat crea-
lures who can make no complaint
nor ask for redress.
Third-Because every act of
cruelty and cowardice deteriorates
and degenerates the character of the
perpetrator.
Fourth-Because there is abund-
ant proof that such debasement is
liable to lead to crime; cruelty is a
constituent part Of all the worst
crimes.
Fifth-Because society is COM
posed of units and as whole would
be intellectually improved and elevat-
ed if the individuals composing it
| refrained from cruelty and adopted
the practice of kindness to every
/ living creature.
SiXth-Because the practice of
kindness to every living creature or
humaneness, involves the universal
and specific application of the gold
en- rule which would bring perman-
ent peace between nations and radi-
cally change for the better the en-
tire social order.
Seven-Blessed are the merciful
for they shall obtain mercy.

IS THE LAW AT FAULT?
Rochester Herald.)

A man in the grandfatherly stage
of lie was recently sued by a woman
many years younger for breach of
promise. She had had her heart
broken by the wretch, who had often
kissed and made love to her, she de-
clared. and she asked for $4,000 to
repair the damage that had been
done. The jury brought in verdict
for her, but whitfield her $4,000
down to a beggarly 500. Evidently
the jury did not believe that an old
man could mean so much to young
woman as the young woman pre-
tended.
In our opinion. the young woman
got 500 too much. One Of the days,
when we get little more enlighted-
ed than we are at present, We shall

ONE THRIFTY COUNTY

Taxpayers in Texas owe the State
and the counties the enormous sum
of over $41,0OO,00O in delinquent
taxes, says the Woman's Weekly.
The delinquency covers a period of
years. However, there is one lone
county which does not owe a cent of
delinquent taxes and that county is
Gillespie, of which Fredericksburg is
the county seat.
Gillespie county is settled by Ger
mans and descendants of German
pioneers who moved to Taxas from
Germany in the latter part of the
forties Of the last century. The
original immigrants came over with
a German prince and part of them
took UP lands in Gillespie county
and the adjoining county of New
Braufels. They we're all of the best
type of German citizenship and they
and their children and grandchildren
have converted a wilderness into one
of the most productive sections of
the United States.
For acounty to have not q single
delinquent taxpayer on its lists is
most remarkable, and It is doubtful
II there is another county in the
whole United States which can equal
that record.
The settlers of that part of Texas
are all of sterling stock. They are
thrifty and Industrious. They culti-
vate their lands intensively. They
grow the best of crops and raise the
| finest live stock. They produce what
they consume and have a large sur
plus stock to dispose of, and that
makes them Independent. They have
not put forward any men prominent
! in politics because the people or that
section have not wasted their time
in idle discussion of partisan poll
ties. There is no political strife
there. The citizens devote their
spare time in enjoyment of music
and art and in innocent sports, and
that is one reason for their marvel

pertinent QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUE FOR

HOW DOES THIS sOUNDl

Think OF a man wailing because
1t was not cold enough last winter.
There is no person in st. Petersburg
who was here last winter who has
the same complaint to make as is
voiced by the Brooklyn Eagle in the
following editorial:
There is a tang and chill in the
air that suggests winter. And we
are Slad, for there IL nothing SO I'M
pleasant as unreasonable weather.
1t upsets plans. hurst business and

vent of cold when cold is due allows
us to go from fall to winter without
friction. booms trade and provides
the physical exhileration which
goes with low temperature.
Last year we were cheated out
of our winter. What we had of it
was an apology and a makeshift. 1t
lacked reality and was devoid of
local color. Perhaps, because of the
large number of unemployed, it was
! just as well that the winter was so
mild. But this year there is less
want. Charity organizations report
vast improvement over the situa-
ton evident a year ago. So we may
hope for more of those exhilerating
days Of crisp, dry cold which are the
chief glory of life in the temperate
zone. For winter without real cold
weather is far worse than a chilly
spring. a dry summer or fall with
out sunshine"

GILCHRIST AS CAMPAIGNER

Harry Floyd tells of meeting ex-
Governor Gilchrist, as follows:
saw him last week in the Court
House yard in Charlottesville, a
singular giant in his gray, shapeless
clothes, handing to the citizens his
large sheet of paper on each side of
which is printed his appeal to the
voter. His clothes are not stylish.
There is no particular style to his
written appeal. For example, he
uses the quotation, 1T is good to
have giants strength but it is
tyrannous to use it like giant"
only he substitutes the word will
famous" for tyrannous. That error
makes no special difference to him.
It intrigues him as little as the dis
covery of the New York papers that
he did not have his trousers creased
You will recall that he won the Gov
ernorship partly by a distribution Of
postcards on which appeared the
three sacred monkeys Of Asia and
bearing the inscription that one
should hear no evil, see no evil
speak no evil.

Talk about strategy of wari And

Well, all of these things combined
are as mere child's play compared
with the problem Coach Grip Gray
is trying to solve in his effort to
spring a surprise on the K. u. Jay

will attempt to be the Washburn of

Naturally, Gray is figuring that X

As in former years, will the Jay

and not resort to first team strength
until the seconds have partially Worn
Washburn down? Or will Olcott
send in his strongest lineup at the
beginning, try to pile up a few touch
downs and then trust to the under

No Way to Know.
These are the most battling ques-
tons the WaShburn mentor has to
contend with and lie will not know
which alternative to prepare for until
probable that if K. L. sends in second
string men at he beginning, Gray
will do likewise, and will attempt to

X. U. FEARS "PINK DEVIL"
OIcott Coaches Men to Watch Out for
Captain BeaiS.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 3.-That Coach
OIcott and the Jayhawkers are not
over-confident of winning from Wash
burn in the game Saturday is indi-
Gated by the strenuous preparations
that are being made this week for the
Ichabod clash. A number of changes
in the line up are being made, and
every effort will be made to prevent
a humiliating surprise.
The tactics that will be used in the
game are being kept under cover, but
whatever special preparation the Jay
hawkers will make for the Ichabods,
it is fairly certain that the players
will be thoroughly warned to watch
the elusive Pinky Beals. Against Ok
lahoma Saturday, the Kansas tacklers
were beaten by the speedy Sooner
backs. The week before Randels, the
Aggie star, was able to dodge past the
JayhawkerS for a touchdown. BealS
is as dangerous as either Randels or
the pick of the Sooner backs. An
other feature of the Ichabod attack
may cause trouble, the Lawrence en-
thusiasts believe. That is the for
ward passing ability which Washburn
has shown in recent games.

Captain Charlie Barrett and Cornell
football squad.

Having crushed down all opposition
to date, including harvard, the Cor
nell football team is today regarded
as supreme in the east. This SUI
premacy is due in large part to the
work of Captain Charlie Barrett,
probably the best quarterback in
America today. Last year Barrett was
not given the pivot position on the
An-American team of Walter Camp.
Undoubtedly, however, if he had had
the team in front of him that he has
this year he would have attained the
much coveted position on the ALL
American. Cornell has also another
star in Shiverick, the right halfback,
who put drop kick over from the 40
yard line in the Harvard game. Cor
nell has two more big battles on her
schedule-that with Michigan and the
Pennsylvania game on Thanksgiving
day.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-11-03

will largely depend upon luck. But it
takes real football tactics to offer a
successful defense to a team like K.
u, and from now until the end of the
week the Ichabods and their mentor
will work overtime trying to build up
a defense that won't crumble.
Most Valuable Asset.
The most valuable asset Washburn
has is the spirit and the grit of the
players. Football IS mostly a matter
of grit and nerve Gray said at are

much about beef but grit and nerve

harder they were pressed, the harder
they played, and although they were
physically exhausted in the final
quarter. they We're able to open up
sufficiently to play the Normals off
their feet and to score the tying
touchdown.
The Ichabods will probably not dis
play much brilliancy in their punting.
And their forward passing may prove
a failure. But they will have two
good back fields in Chamberlain, Vii
