POWER PLANT
ASSESSED HIGHER
Now Valued at $548.200 In.
stead Of $4,000.

A considerable increase has been
made in the assessment for taxing
purposes on the Hale's Bar Power
Plant. We are informed by W. Fl.
Wilson, of South Pittsburg, that the
plant is now assessed at $547, 200, in
stead of only $75. 900 as heretofore
Mr.. Wilson claims that he fought
strenuously for this increase in the tax
and If be had been backed up better
by the county authorities, possibly a
higher rate might have been reached.
This is very low tax value for a
plant which is bonded into the mil
lions, and has also destroyed large
acreage of valuable farm lands in Ma
rion. Mr.. Wilson says he proposes to
stay with them until he gets 10 per
cent tax on their business.

The Cathedral High School, Wheeling,
W. Va, is forming q rife club and has
received fifty winchester rifles from the
war department for its use. According
TO the RAeeliag Register, January Z,
this number can be indefinitely increased
on the payment Of a nominal sum for
each rife, and Brother Anselm, Of the
school, Is in correspondence with the war
department concerning the procuring Of
further arms A rife range is projected

A Humane Bishop

The late Bishop Scannell Of Omaha
il said 20 have been n tendcr-hearted
person who could not bear the thought
Of imprisoning wild things. His garden
or built an elaborate house and captured
and placed in II a number Of squirrels
The bishop discovered the house and
freed the animals, saying he could not
bear 20 sec any wild creatures shut up
Scannell's humane nature extended
only 10 wild things-he was deaf 20 the
plea for freedom which came from the
inmates Of his private prison, the House
Of the Good Shepherd.
But those were prisoners Of a diff.
ferent kind, kept for a different pur.
pose. THEIR CAPTIVITY MEANT
MONEY FOR THE CHURCH. The
girls behind the high walls could be
made 10 operate washing machines and
mangles, sort and wrap duds, and their
board and lodging was economically pro
vided for, and, since no wages were
paid, the profit from the cleansing Of
clothes in the holy laundry was worth
considering and protecting.
SQUIRRELS CANNOT BE TRAINED
TO TOLL FOR THEIR KEEPER
AND SERVE ONLY TO AMUSE. A
female slave may be the source Of both
labor and amusement
WHAT ROME DESIRES Is MONEY
AND POWER AND THE II. o. @. S.
Is A MONEY MAKING INSTITU.
TI0N and Scannell's successor will lose
no sleep over the eaptiVes in the brick
walled and iron barred cage. Only
squirrels are entitled TO consideration OF
a humane nature.
II all the women and girls who are
held in confinement by Rome in the
United States were liberated and con.
grcgated in one place they would popu.
late a town of several thousand inhabi.
tants and IL the value Of the buildings
In which they are held were given 70
them they could buy the town outright
and live in peace and plenty for the
rest Of their lives.
Bishop Seannell Is no more. The
squirrels he liberated are roaming the
woods and nesting without restraint
But the larger cage, the House Of the
Good Shepherd, still stands and takes
its toll Of innocents from paths of love
and freedom and holds them 20 aTduous
tasks through weary months and years.
AN INSPECTION LAW IN EVERY
STATE WOULD TEND TO LIBER.
ATE SOME OF THE CAPTIvEs
OTHER THAN SQUIRRELS.
II is at least worth while making an
attempt 10 secure protection for the vic.
tins Of such an infamous system OF
slavery as the House Of the Good Shep.
herd Is perpetuating in free America.
