The "Tax Roll" Argument

One of the arguments in favor of the sale of the Central school property to private individuals is that it would add that much to the tax roll of the county That has a certain appeal for taxpayers even for some who believe that better use can be made of that property than let it into private ownership Just how much would add to the tax roll is uncer- tan As it stands now the amount would probably be $20OOO supposing the property is sold for $2lo0o Of course the addition the roll would be in creased as the property should become improved How much greater the addition would be would de pend upon the character of the improvements. If they should consist of story buildings most business buildings outside of the very center of the business district are not much would be added.

The Fear. of Russia

The statement of the Russian foreign office print ed yesterday morning amounting to endorsement of President Wilson's peace speech. be dis turbing to Russa's allies it must be gratifying to the president. The other allies have accepted the presidents plan wel-meanihg but impractical and they have especially his that there be peace with victory. The crushing of the Central Powers essential peace.
 The Russian statement does insist upon a victorious peace and declares Tt has the aim of the allies crush their enemies and they insisted upon victory in that sense over Germany This is quite different essentially so from French British declarations both official and private.
 From the beginning there seems to have been a British and French distrust within the entente against Russia In the midst of the German rush upon Paris, France and Great Britain pledged anew their loyalty to the entente, concerning which there could be doubt Their interest, their very exist demanded loyalty Their pledge suspected to have been renewed only for purpose of securing Russia's reiteraton of it.
 Even then the other allies were not sure of Russia. It not until the Brussloff offensive was turned back and the crushing Of Rumania begun that further inducement thrown out to Russia, the possession of Constantinope and the central the Dardanelles Great Britain would have consented to such concession except under the gent spur of necessity
 The possibility that Russia would suddenly con cude separate peace has always been a bugbear in London and Paris and that may account for the fatal hesitation of France Great Britain in the Balkans it may the Gallipoli campaign If that had succeeded Russia would have been bound securely to it's allies.
 The London Observer in a further discussion of the presidents peace statement the account to which Germany expects to turn it for division the en- tente says:
 We must never forget that German thinking in all these governed by the historical prece- dent of the Seven Years War Frederick the Great did not win that desperate merely by his m- tary genius as is still too frequently imagined He was saved by cleavage in the alliance against him. and by nothing else.

SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 51:1-6

Isaiah 51:1-6
 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seef the Lord; look unto the rock whence ye are heWn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bear you; for called him alone, and blessed him, and in- creased him.
 For the Lord shall comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
 Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me. o my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
 | My righteousness is near; my saliva l tiop is gone forth. and mine arms | shall judge the people; the isles shal wait upcn me, ard on mine arms shal they trust.
 Lift up your eyes to the heavens and look upon the earth beneath; fol the heavens shall vanish away lik' smoke, and the earth shall wax ol, like a garment, ana they that dwel therein shall die in like manner; bu my salvation shall be forever, and m. righteousness shall not be abolished.

ABUSED SUPERLATivEs

It is hard to make people understand that the adjective almost invariably weakens the noun and that the word very for instance not strength en a statement, but qualities it. A good example might be taken from the august communication of our president who weakens the word sincere by saying very sincere" But the use of the super lative is even more abused We talk of the ''unim- peachable' honesty of somebody other, knowing perfectly well that anybody's honesty may be i'm peached What be required is a readjust- ment of habits of thought, and better teaching of the value of wards and of the usefulness of grammar superlative necessarily involves an axiom.
