but in the meantime the affair
had already produced its grave con-
sequences. The spectacle of the
president Of the republic driving out
day after day with Royalist emblem
in his buttonhole had created the most
profound impression in Paris.
"The fact was that MacMahon had
never been looked upon as an extreme
Republican. At the time that our
statesmen were engaged in construc-
ting a new government after the ter
rible events which brought about the
fall of the second empire, there was a
question, as you may have heard, of
restoring the ancient dynasty in the
person Of the Comte de Chambofd.
The chief obstacle which presented
itself, in the course of the negotiations
which took place, was the question
of the flag. The comte, actuated by
a sincere belief in his hereditary
rights, demanded that the lilies of the
Valois should again be recognized in
the national standard of France. 1t
was MacMahon himself who, speaking
in the name of the army, insisted on
the retention of the tricolor, that flag
so gloriously associated with the great
memories Of Austerlitz and Jena. This
obstacle proved fatal; the third repub.
lie was constituted, and Henri " was
left without throne.

THE young lady-for Of her youth

a smile which allowed the marshal to
see two perfect rows of teeth, as she
replied:
you have called me the "lady Of

by this time that the lily is flower

"The president started, and an ex-
preston Of anger and chagrin showed
itself on his face as the truth of the
situation flashed upon him. The lily
was, of course, the badge Of the royal
house of France, the emblem assumed

how eagerly the children respond

in this line of work have found that

malls and Paupers.

ut is a common, Wholesale, degrad
ing treatment OF the poor which ends
by destroying their self-respect and IN
many cases condemns forever the un
fortunate applicants to a position OF
disrepute in the community. This Is
not true charity; It is brutality"
1t is this treatment which makes
povery a culture bed for criminals
paupers, Migrants, and for such dis
eases as inebrity, insanity and imbe
cility; all Of which sap out the life OF
the community by lowering its social
vitality and will eventually make suck
inroads on the public funds as to seri
ously cripple public activities.
The United Charities does not work
in this manner, but takes each per
son coming for help and helps him
as his needs demand. 1t Is working
for the cure and preventing OF poverty
rath,or than for the comforting OF those
in need by administering palliative
treatment.
Safety for Keokuk, socially and
financially, demands that the cause of
poverty be eliminated. Throw your
weight with the one organization
which is working towards this end.
Is 1t not worth dollar year to
be identified with this practical move
ment. Make thu United Charities your

Orchestra Concert Friday.


The fact that the Keokuk Retailers
league have appointed a committee to
attend the concert given by the high
school orchestra Friday evening shows
that the officers of the league know
that a good amateur orchestra is a
positive asset in the community This
action also shows that there is a feel
ing that a movement Of this kind, If 1t
is a worthy one, merits public support
The players in the high school Or
chestra will undoubtedly be keyed up
to the highest pitch of interest, in
view of the fact that their work is to
be critically observed by committee,
which will later report at the month
ly meeting of the league.
The young people who play in the
orchestra are mplishing two i'm

themselves a positive benefit by &C

they are affording pleasure to all
members of the community. who take
advantage of the opportunity to hear

and Present Matter to League

Action.

Final action in the matter of early
closing, or a hale holiday for the bust

at the next meeting of the Keokuk
Retailers league. This was decided
|. on at the meeting of the committee
yesterday, Of which J. N. Dumenil was
chairman.
As the committee is made up of one
member from each line OF business, Il
was decided that each representative
should canvass the business houses
in his line Or activity and secure from
them the sentiment on early closing
OR half holiday each week.
The reports from this committee
will be made at the meeting OF the
Retailers league which will be held
in about three weeks.
The grocers seem to favor the mat.
ter of half holiday each week Some
OF the other lines of business are will
ing to give some time to their en-
ployes. Others seem to think that the
half holiday each week will work a
hardship to the store and to the Gus.
toners. Some of the merchants do
not consider that half holidays are
necessary with their clerks, since
they give them vacations, either on
full or half pay.
1t was deemed wisest in order to
get the sentiment Of every one, to
have all of the business houses solicit
ed by a committee member In the
same line.

Ten Reasons For a Silo.

l. The maximum of forage crops can be saved for livestock feedine purposes.
 ?. Forage crops in the form of si, lage are eaten without waste
 3. The crop remains in a form which is not only nutritious, but also Succulent and therefore, palatable.
 4. The crop is stored in conve. nient place and in compact form. About four times more dry matter in forage crops can be stored in given space in the silo than by field curing and storing in the now.
 5. Making silage out of forage crops is the most economical way to harvest them under all conditions.
 G. The abundance of favorable years can be stored to be utilized dur ing years of scarcity.
 2. The silo makes abundant succu lent forage possible the year round.
 s. The addition of silage to the ra tion improves the whole ration.
 g. The cost of the ration is ma terially reduced by the feeding of si- lage with all classes of livestock.
 10. The silc makes 1t possible to keep livestock on every farm. This means diversified farming and the growing of forage crops which are the surest crops.

OUT OF THE MUD.

Tn 1912, when West Virginia was one vast battle-ground for statewide prohibition writes Lora S. LaMance, National w. c. T. U. organizer, in the Union Signal, T spent seven months in the state In 1915, with prohibition an accomplished fact, l visited it again. The change is marked. A blind man could see it. Out from the prin- cipal towns the land of muddy roads Is building here, there, wonder, paved roads into the country. Almost every mile has been built since the state went dry. It is new experience to the farmer, when the dirt roads are almost hub deep in yellow clay, to drive five or ten miles into town on a hard brick road, and get there with team and carriage as spick and span as when he started. City streets are being paved, parks are being laid out, street car lines are being extended, and new buildings are going up every where. In some of the smaller towns, because the demand is so great, houses are rented at extravagant prices"

COULD BUILD SIX CANALS.

An unusual sight and one not with out special significance was that of Secretary of State Bryan signing the cards of 12,000 men who had taken the pledge of total abstinence at one of the Billy Sunday meetings, after MT. Bryans address against the drink curse. His attack against the liquor evil from the economic standpoint in cluded the following statements:
 Tt is estimated that the people of the United States spend almost $2,- 500,000,000 annually on intoxicating liquors. The cost of the Panama canal the most gigantic engineering feat in history, was about s400,000, ,000. Is it not appalling to think that we spend for drink every year something like six times the cost of the Panama casal?
 q have endeavored to obtain an ac- curate estimate of the amount of money spent on education in this country, and the figure given me is S750,000, 900. We spend for drink more than three times as much as we spend for education.
 The annual appropriations of the federal government are little less than $1 ,250,000000. This sum includes the salaries of all the public officials, from the president down. All of these government agencies employed in ad- ministering the federal government of this great nation are operated at an expense of less than $1,250, ,000,000.

THE WRONG TUNE

1n cneeches at Lonoke recently, Dr.. q Rough and Judge Walls, the one on avowed and the other a prospec- t;ro candidate for governor, discussed tbe revenue situation of the state. Eocb took the ground that the rates of taxation are high enough, but that tho acoregate assessed valuation of tbo state is too low. Dr. Brough Is rpnorted as having said: Those who hold bonds and assess them at 3 per cent of their value should be made to raise the value as long as the owners of lands has to assess them at 60 per cent of their value."
 Dr. Brough has struck the right note but he is singing the wrong tune. f. is the same old tune that we have been hearing all these years. It may oct the votes and help the doctor into tbe governors office but it will not help him after he get there.
 True. bonds and property of that character are either not assessed or if assessed are very much UNDERAS- SESSED: but bonds and notes consti- tnte a comparatively small part of the taxable value of the state and if some method whereby they could be pro nerlv assessed were devised the aggre- gate of the states assessed property would probably not be materially in creased. Contrary to the popular idea a large part of the UNDERASSESS- ED property ir Arkansas is NOT such things as notes and monies but is I'M PROVED REAL ESTATE. Accord ing to the federal census figures the real estate of Arkansas taken as a whole is assessed at below 35 per cent of its true value.
 In a back tax law suit recently tried in Crittenden county, it developed that according to the Federal census the real estate in that county in 1900 was actually worth $6,000,000; it was as sessed that year $1.200,000. By 1904 the actual value of the real estates of the county had, according to the cen sus figures, gone to $12,250,000; the assessed valuation had been raised to S2,500,000. That meant that each year the real estate of the county was assessed at one-fifth or twenty per cent of its true value. The census of 1910 showed per centage of assess ed to actual value of about the same twenty per cent.
 Not only was the real estate of Crittenden county assessed extremely low but there was an utter lack of equalization. The poor lands were as Sessed high; the rich, highly improved plantations were assessed low. Swamp lands worth S6.00 were assessed $500 an acre; plantations worth S75.00 l were assessed 5000 an acre. Planta- uon property constituted thirty per cent ot the total real estate of the county. Instead of a real estate as sesSment of S2.500 GOO in Cri++enden
The Prescott daily news., 1915-07-28

county in 1910, FORTY per cent as sessment would have meant a total real estate assessment of $5,OOO. .OOO.
 What is true of Crittenden county Is true to greater or less degree in every other county in the state. Let Dr. Brough climb to the ton of the State University building at Fayete- vile; he will see stretching out in every direction thousands of acres of the best land in America. Much of it Is worth Sl0O an acre; it could not be bought for that. These lands are as- sessed at less than S10.OO an acre. They are really not assessed at much higher per cent of their true value than are Doctors bonds. After the Doctor Is through admiring these mag niiicent stretches of grain fields and orchards, let him pass beyond to the rocky knobs of the Boston Mountains in the southwest. There he will see other thousands of acres of lands. but they are poor, barren, mountain lands. They are worth six to eight dollars an acre, but they are assessed at two and three dollars an acre. The Doctor will find when he goes to the court house and examines the records that, taken as a whole, the real estate of Wash lngton county is not assessed at above twenty per cent of it's true value. He will find that the real estate of Ben- ton county IS assessed even lower than Is the real estate of Washington county, but he will always find that the poor lands are assessed compara- lively high while the rich lands are assessed low-which probably ex- plains why "the rich air gittin' richer and the poor air gittin' porer."
 And Judge Walls-well, if the Judge had looked for it he could have found the same conditions mighty close to home." The tax books will tell the story; an examination of these books in Lonoke county will show that the rich plantation lands, includ- ing Judge Walls own magnificent plantation near Tomerlins are assess ed the same old way-at about twenty per cent of their true value.
 If all the property in Arkansas, in TATE AS WELL AS BONDS TALLY THE STATE SCHOOL NOTES AND MONIES were assessed at uniform valuation of FORTY per cent the assessed valuation of the state would go up from S45O,OO0,O0C to $600,000,000. With present rates applying the deficit in the genera revenue fund would in three years be turned into nice cash balance anC the other funds would, in the mean time be swelled just 33 1-3 per cen above what they now are. INCIDEN TALLY THE STATE SCHOOL FUND WOULD BE INCREASED ANNUALLY $45O,0OO.
