RABBI DISCOURAGES JEWS
WHO COURT RACE MERGER

New York, Feb. 6.-What is re-
garded here as a check on the grow
ing tendency of Jews to merge with
other races has been inundated by
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise of the Church
Of the Messiah.
For the Jew to merge himself
away with the peoples of the world,
declared the rabbi, lis thing I'M
possible. he greatest wrong that
Jewish people could infIict upon the
world today would be to surrender
and efface themselves. The Jew
reaches his highest and best who is
most Jew
The rabbi said that now. when it
seemed peace was breaking, the
Jews should give up the dream of a
world melting pot. With the end Of
the world war, he declared, Christ
ians must lose all prejudice against
the Jews.

TAX ASSESSMENTS IN
JOHNSON CITY

Paying taxes always mas and al
ways will be regarded by the aver
age man or corporation as one of
the most irksome of burdens and
that is the strongest reason why
taxation should be made as equita-
BILE as possible. When a small firm
or an individual knows that large
and influential corporations are get
ting off for a minimum of their real
taxable value it makes the burden
of taxation all the harder to bear.
For this reason the board OF alder
men are to be especially commend
ed for it's expressed intention of in
vestigating the low valuation placed
on several Of the largest corpora
tons in the city, and when it is
known that the Washington County
Gas Company is valued on the tax
books at an absurd sum Of $4,000
and the Tennessee Eastern Electric
Company succeeded this year in get
ting it's valuation reduced from $780,
600 to $4,000 it does not seem that
great deal of investigating will be
necessary. unless the committee
goes into the matter of determining
the why of such ridiculously small
valuation of these big properties. 1t
looks to one on the outside looking
in that there might be found some
thing akin to collision somewhere
in such situation.
Already there has been called to
our attention a number Of matters
which would appear to show that
there is altogether too much influ-
cnce welded by money and the pow
or Of money in this town and that
t"h inner circle" or a cOteric of in
flucntial business men here, has too
great a control over the industrial
and business life Of the town. This
is a condition thai will tend TO Kill
any town ana has already, from the
bost information The writer has been
able to obtain, injured the growth
and development of johnson City.
One incident. coming under our per
Sonal observation since coming tGj

THE GIRL BEHIND THE LINES
N E w S A N D.

When you have run into the big bifi
And are pretty near stiff"
Someone comes behind your bed,
Someone stills your aching head.
It's the girl with the pills,
The girl to cure your ills;
The girl behind the lines.
Then you're glad you're at the base
Just to see her smiling face,
And you don't care if you rot
If you just stick to that cot.
It's the girl dressed in white,
The girl that's always right:
The girl behind the lines.
AS your bones become corrected,
Your heart becomes affected.
When the doctor says you're well
You're feeling just like h-ll.
It's the girl with the chart,
The gill with your heart;
Thegirl behind the lines.
Then you go back TO the trenches
And it's not for pains and wrenches
That you wish ''fifty-seven"
Would knock you into heaven
It's the girl who was your boss,
The girl who wore the red cross;
The girl behind the lines.

WlLLMAR ARTISTS
ESCAPE DEATH
But Their Companion, Bnger Nord-
shom, Was Killed in Nickle
Place Wreck, April II, near
Erie. Pa.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hjalmar Peterson OF
Willmar had a narrow escape from
death at Harborcreek, near Erie, Pa,
Saturday, April ~, when the passen-
ger train on the Nickle Plate Railroad
on which they were riding struck an
open switch and crashed into a freight
train. Birger Nordstrom, wellknown
accordion virtuoso, member of their
company was instantly killed. They
were on the way from Jamestown,
N. Y, to Erie to give concert. Nord-
strom had Just left the Petersons in
the parlor car and gone forward into
the smoker. He was seated within
a few seats Of the front end Of the
car when the trains crashed and the
smoking car was telescoped by the
steel mail car ahead. THE remains
were taken to Chicago for burial last
Friday. News of the wreck was re-
ceived by David Peterson thru the
Swedish newspapers. Having had no
word from his brother he became
much alarmed and wired the claim
agent of the railroad for news, and re-
ceived a message that his brother
Hjalmar and wife were safe. The
latter arrived at Willmar last Satur-
day, having cancelled a number of
dates made in Iowa and Nebraska.
Mr.. Peterson was badly shaken up in
the wreck. The back of his head was
severely bruised and two teeth were
loosened by the jolt received. Mrs.
Peterson was not injured.
Birger Nordstrom was we'll known
at Willmar and vicinity where he has
on numerous occasions. He
was considered an artist in his line.
