Death Of James Samuel EIzea

James S. Elzea died at his home
south Of this city. Friday, Feb. I,
1918. Funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. C. Cook at the
First Baptist Church in this city
Sunday afternoon. Interment in
ST. Jude's cemetery.
The passing of Mr.. Elzes was not
unexpected as he had suffered a
stroke of paralysis several months
ago from which he had not fully
recovered.
He is survived by his wife end
three children. The children are:
Mrs. E. j. Hume. of White Hall, ILL.,:
Garth Elzea, of San Francisco. Cal.
and Faris Elzea, of st. Louis.
Mr.. Elzea was IS years of age
and was born on a farm in Rails
County a few miles southeast Of
this city.
He spent several years in the
west engaged in the cattle business,
otherwise he had resided in this
vicinity. He was extensively en-
gagged in farming and stock raising
and was ranked as one of the most
substantial citizens of this part Of
the county.
MIR. Elzea was quiet unassum-
ing gentleman, noted and respected
for his generous disposition and
straight forward dealing with his
fellowman.
His death removes a kind neigh
Dor, true and effectionate husband
and father and his place will be
fhard to fill in business circles.

ton of the business affairs of this
state is meeting with the popular
approval of the entire. citizenship

been characterized by a sincere de-
sire to get results that will be cred
liable to the great state and the
progressive citizenship who have
made him their chief executive.

his achievements with unusual
pride, and can welcome any criti-

Mastering The Submarine

Commander ]. X. Taussie. one of
st. Louis gallant representatives in
the United States Navy. tells the
first connected story of how the
first flotilla of torpedo-boat destroy
efs went to join the British in their
hazardous work of patrolling the
Submarine infested seas. The
flotilla arrived at what might be
called the psychological moment
The British had lost 1S2 ships in the
previous three weeks and were
naturally becoming anxious.
Almost from the moment of the
arrival of the Americans matters
began to improve, as the submarine
loss chart shows. Back of
Commander Taussies modest state
ment may be sensed the untirine,
efficient work of the flotilla. For
days at atime the mess tables were
not set, the officers and men eating
from their laps. Sleep was scarce
article and only indulged in when
necessary.
Speaking of actual results
Commander Taussig is not vsinglor.
ious. He does not claim to have
sunk a single submarine. and only
once in seven months did they fire
at one. This U-boat was five miles
away and submerged at the fifth
shot. This in itself is not without
Significance. Instead Of becoming
bolder, the submarine is more elusive
and harder to detect above the sur.
face than ever before. The depth
bomb has made them cautious, even
when submerged. This cowardly
sneakine method of warfare is in
dicative of a losing, not winning
fight. With the U.boat commander
afraid to come up and afraid to sta,
submerged in Q locality where ther,
presence is'suspected. they can M
longer pick their victims. Theil
best is a chance thrust. the blow o
an assassin, and quick getaway
Commander Taussigs conclusion
is valuable Il am sure we car
beat the submarine" he says, if th'
people will do their part"

Withhold Your Criticism.

The assessors of Missouri have
finished their work for last year
and the reports are now being filed
with the Tax Commission, and in
the vast majority of cases they
have literally complied with the
law. The Board of Equalization
will meet in a few days adjust any
inequalities that may exist, and
then the legislature will be called
upon to revise and reduce the rates
o levy for state and local purposes
so that the revenue produced will
be just sufficient for the needs in
each instance and no more. To
those who can see in this effort to
standardize and equalize assess
meDts, nothing but an attempt to
saddle the burden of taxes upon
certain classes of property. we
would advise that you withhold
your criticism until after the work
of the equalization board and the
legislature has been completed and
see if the results are not more sat
isfactory than the present plan,
which is based upon no fixed stand
ard and results in inequalities and
favoritism of the most glaring
kind.

not be an enemy of the government.
