LIQUID FIRE-THEN AND NOW
CWall Street JournalD

(Nall street Journal
The use by the Germans of fire
throwing machines in the assault on
Verdun has been hailed as something
new in military operation. As a mat
ter Of fact, liquid fire is a product OF
the warfare OF the Middle Ages. In
the strenuous days when our doughty
ancestors We're besieged in castles,
they used to amuse themselves by
standing on the ramparts and pouring
boiling oil and burning pitch below.
This usually proved disconcerting for
the attacking party.
The Germans have gone several
steps farther. All the accessories that
the knights Of old brought into play in
the gentle art of fre-hurling were a
bucket, its contents. and a good strong
pain of arms The modern Teutonic
fiery fluid can be distributed much
more deity and with greater force by
reason of a simple device, known as a
fire PROPRIETOR" Uetrol Is poured
into a tank under pressure of several
hundred pounds per squaree inch. The
tank is equipped with a long nozzle.
and the petrol is enfamed as il leaves
the nozzle by an electric spark. Thus
the German soldier is able TO sit safe
ly behind his own lines and spray the
enemy with fire over distance OF
more than hundred feet much in the
manner of a suburbanite watering his
lawn with an diversified garden nose.

CAUTION!

With shortage of ships tc
move our cotton to foreign shores;
with no indication of the end of
the war with the nation stirred
oyer preparedness for eventuali-
ties with the buying power of
the entire world gradually lessen
ing day by day, it becomes our
duty to issue this formal warning
as the time of planting cotton is
at hand.
Let everyone encourage the
farmer to be on the safe side by
raising plenty of feed and food
for the community as we'll as for
himself, his family, and his live
stock. CA calf, pig, chickens,
and a garden often mean the diff
erence between want and money
ahead } Economical and safe
living for all as we'll as safe
farming must be the rule if
prosperity is to abide with us.
Six-cen cotton this fall would
spell disaster in the cotton States.
Low price follows over supply as
certainly as the night the day.
High prices and prosperity over
the South this year prove what
voluntary reduction of cotton acre
age does. Any marked increase
in acreage over last year is going
to result in a great loss to South
ern cotton producers, merchants,
and bankers, and will similarly
affect all allied business and pro-
fessions.

become manly, women learn to COOK

everywhere and everybody falls in
love. Those who survive the war are
physically stronger than if they had
lived all this while in crowded tene-
ment districts as cheap office clerks,
hollow chested because too proud to
exercise.
Chickens, mean the fowl Sweet
land aIlUdes to, have acquired the pip,
lights, cholera, lice and other all
ments since man enslaved them in
coOps. Hens have become so fussy
along with their feathered husbands,
under mans stuffing process and
lack of exercise, that they can no
longer fly like a prairie hen. The
savages have a superstition called
religion and that is why they kill the
wife; but monkeys do not kill the fe-
male. The savage had already taken
on the culture of religion, the same
as Socrates, ChTist's, Joan of Arcs
mUrderers had, the same as the head
remover, Henry VIII, did, and the
same as the Spanish iIquisitiOn lead
ers, the Protestants of Salem in
witchcraft days and our presidential
murderers.
Oh, yes, Mr.. Sweetland, they all
had the culture of religion. Some
life-threateners in Chicago have the
culture of religion. But what has all
this culture business got to do with
woman's freedom. Man is still in the
saddle and woman is still a slave. All
religions but Christian Science and
free thinkers still treat her as dog,
and I am willing that every man on
earth is killed if it means her free
dom.
Henry Ford is an, internationalist
and no patriot. He pays good wages,
but his checking up system is so Sc
we're that few people but foreigners
can work for him. Is that American?

MY POOR FRIEND.-What shauI

man, a Republican, and fairly inteIli-
gent as intelligence goes among
working men. He is afflicted with a
species of sleeping sickness that is
known among us as ignorance of
things politically, and so far all my
efforts to awaken him have been in
vain.
Primary day he came to me and
spake thus: 1.-THE. papers say Low

Said 1: did you vote for him?"
mo, did not vote, - he said. "But
I am glad he was nominated. He is
a good man.
l curbed my wrath and reasoned
with him in this wise: you know
that Lowden is a son-in-law of the
Great Pullman, of great strikes and
starvation-wage fame, and that he is
one of those who ride on our backs
and live from the proceeds of our Ia
Dor, our misery and our lives. -
Knowing these things, who do you
think he will favor when confronted
with legislation to shorten the hours
of labor and place a minimum on
wages, you who vote for him and are
ridden by him, or himself and his
class, whose purpose is to, keep your
back bent so they may ride"

of everybody. He is a good man"

Persons Directing to the valuations
placed on their property are met by
examiners. II IL appears that the
valuation is excessive, the case is
put before one OF the tax commits
sioners.
The commissioners said the re-
fusal of the Detroit assessors 10
appear is the first case OF its kind In
the experience of any Michigan tax
commission, tho there have been
somewhat similar cases. The right
Of the commission TO reassess prop
erty was tested by the city OF Grand
Rapids, and the supreme court held
that the commission could make re-
assessments.
"If the public knew of the paral-
yzing mistakes In valuations, there
would be a general clamor for re-
assessment by the state tax commits
sion instead OF a fight against It"
said Barnes There Is a popular
Misunderstanding that a higher as
sessed valuation means higher taxes.
This is erroneous. Differences In
assessed valuations merely operate
TO change rates Of taxation. The
amount OF money paid Is the same
and depends altogether on what pub
lie authorities expend."
The commission brought with II
q statement In defense OF the in
crease OF $3.50, 904,40 made by the
commission over local valuation fig.
ures. There appears in the state
ment the following declaration "If
the increased valuotion we claim
had been placed on your rolls in
time for your city tax, The tax rate
for this year would have dropped
from 1882 to 1894"
