MAY RUN AGAIN

Although Past Experiences Ra-
ther Trying, He May Have The
Nerve.
A certain candidate for county
office four years ago did not an
nounce in the county paper and
was defeated. However, he was
still pretty game and appeared
quite happy. He met a lot OF
people, made friends and had
lots of fun. But he stated TO
the Editor of The Gazette the
morning after his defeat that if
ever he run again he would an
nounce in the paper. His unique
appearances and expenses, as we
remember what he told us con,
sisted of the following items:
Lost 1l49 hours sleep thinking
about the election. Lost two
front teeth and a whole lot Of
hair in An automobile wreck. Do
mated one beef aud three shoats
TO a county barbecue Gave a.
way two pairs snspenders. four
calico dresses, 81 cash, and thir-
ty, baby rattlers Kissed 126
babies, dledfourteen kitchen
fires, and milked 19 cows Put
up six stoves aud pulled 800 bund
les of fodder. Walked 402 miles
and shook hands with 950S per-
sons. Told 1899 lies, and talked
enough to make in print, 1000
volumes. Attended 16 re
vival meetings and was baptised

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
POLICIES

The secretary of the treasury
has announced that the new life
insurance policies are ready for
the soldiers and sailors. Any
man who does not go ahead and
exchange his wartime insurance
for one of these standard forms
will be making a mistake.
It's not necessary, of course,
to argue the life insurance ques
ton with any reasonable man.
Those " no fail to take out polici
es generally do it through mere
neglect or procrastination, not
frrm intention. The men who
neglect aud procrastinate in this
case will be losing a chance to
get any of the regular insurance
poiicles-o-dinary life, twenty
tive payment life, thirty pay
ment life, twenty-year endow
meat, thirty-year endowment,
etc, at rates 80 per cent le' 's
than those charged by the private
Companies. This reduction is
made possible by the fact that
the government itself pays the
cost of conducting the business,
and ST. every bit of the premiums
goes to actual payment of insur-
ance benefits
The premiums on these new
policies are payable monthly but
may be paid quarterly, semi an
nualy or annually if the policy
holder prefers. The amount of
the policy is left to the soldiers
or sailors discretion. 1t is rare
opportuniyt TO b,.y insurance in
the biggest and soundest compa-
ny in the world. Millions of civ
ilians would do it if they had the
chance.

essary thrift as in his day. Here
are some of his words on the use
of money and resources that
might have been written for the
present situation in America:

INFORMATION FOR MAX
ING ASSESSMENTS
Jackson Miss
March Sth, 1919

To The Tax Assessor:
From inquiries from some AS
SCISSORS, it appears thar there Is
some misundeIst tanding as to how
the blank for the assessment OF
personal property should be used
in listing certain Glasses of per-
sonal property. This letter is
written for the purpose Of fur
nishing information for your ben
eft in making these assessments.
If the taxpayer make affidavit
that his household furniture is
worth no more than $3.50, and
YOU believe that it is true state
meut, YOU should not list any of
the several items Hereunder, ap
pearing on the tax list. Only one
column appears on the personal
roll for it. At least, seventy per ct
of the tax payers have less than
$3.50 worth of Household Furni-
ture. and are exempt from asses
ment for same. Surely none eX
cept hotels or rooming places
? have more than $3.50 invested in
beds and bedding, and it would
b. unfair TO other taxpayers fir
such 10 escape their portion IF
tie tax burden. All Hou> ehold
Furniture in excess of $3.50 has
ways been subject to taxation.
There is no new burden imposed
by the itemization ut carries the
law, which has been in effect
since the creation OF the state.
There are many luxurSes in the
households of the rich or well-to
do which have not heretofore ap-
pessred on the tax list blanks (al-
though always'ta xable) such as
cut glass, art square, mahogany.
or other expensive and handsome
furniture. There are art squares
in some cities, which cost more
than $4O0 each. Unfortunately,
Mississippi has not many, whose
homes are adorned with such lux
uries but the fortunate, should
be glad to pay their portions to
the State Government, which ed
ucates the youth, pensions the
Confederats Soldier, heals the
poor, when afflicted or crippled,
and cures cares for the insane; );
but she connot do so without
money. The money cannot be
raised exceb t by taxation. Every
citizen honestly owes his portion
of the expense of the State Gov
ernment This portion is meas
ured by the value Of all taxable
property owned by the citizen.
1t is therefore your duty to see
that all property is assessed and
valued according to law.
Much machinery has been es
Gaping taxation; this has been
occasioned by the omission of
the names of the various kinds
OF it from the tax assessment
blank Only one column ap-
pears on the roll for this, but the
itemlzation will add much to the
rolls.
Diamonds, jewelry, cut glass,
art squares, rugs, automobiles.
solvent credits, merchandise and
many kinds of property other
than the above are escaping their
portion of the tax burden either
by not being listed or by being
unlervslu ID. It is your duty to
see that property of all kinds is
assessed for it's value; and, if not
reported or ii undervalued to re-
port the tax-dodger to the Sup
ervisors and District Attorney
II is your moral duty, too, to the
taxpayers who have rendered

should be borne by untaxed prop

COMMON SENSE.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1912

I was privileged the other day to
see a letter from field secretary of
the Red Cross. 1t brought out the fact
that the most important medicine in
the kitbag Of the Red Cross agent. as
indeed in the medicine case of every
physician. is common sense.
Those who are engaged in the actual
business Of battle or of any of the
smaller details of national life are some
times blinded by the narrowness of their
field. and they need the larger and
more correlated vision OF an adviser.
This letter illustrates this:
Then right on top Of that a boy
ed by not getting his discharge. He
was as full of bitterness and anger
as he could hold. ! listened atten-
lively. frequently nodding sympa-
thetically, till he had talked him
self empty. Then l replied:
Eyes. my boy. know all about it.
That's what war is. You have been
overseas and come back without a
scratch, but now you are caught in
the clerical machinery of war and it
hurts grievously.
Yes. I know the machinery isn't
perfect. and it is poorly operated
way with war machinery. Even Ger
many. who probably had the most
perfect war machinery ever known,
has fallen down. l wish 1t were
otherwise. but there has never been
such thing as a nice war. 1t takes
a good soldier to go to the front and
bear all the hell Of trench life and
battle without complaint. 1t takes a
still better soldier to do all that and
then come home and get caught in the
gears OF clerical machinery.
The government? What do you
mean by the government? You speak
OF 1t as though it were band of out
laws on In some corner of the country
doing everything conceivable to make
people in general and soldiers in par
ticular suffer. Why. boy. YOU are the
government, and when you damn the
government you damn yourself. and
your dad and all the rest Of us.
When we went into this war 1t
was without any preparation and
even though we had been prepared
we could not send all our best men in
the country to the front the way we
were obliged to do and leave the
clerical end Of the war machinery at
home to be conducted by old men and
girls without that end having more
or less serious bitches. We had
SOME JOB.
1T you could spend a week with
me in the city of Washington, even
now. you would get some idea of rhe
size Of that job. And while we did
not have to stand the shock of battle
and awfulness Of trench life you
would realize that we. too. had our
heavy tasks and you would feel that
we with our still heavier hearts be-
cause Of you, our boys. who were over
there. had done pretty well, after all.
1--WE are still trying to do our best
for you. Can't you be patient Just
little longer with US? There is still
so much we want to do for you, so
much we will do for you if you will
only let US, If you will only help us
by being patient just little longer"

Is Finest Courthouse in U. S.

Il is thus clear that not more than
$500 of the many thousands of dol
lars which have been used to complete
the courthouse was gained by lot
terry methods, although some of the
early payments made by the city may
have been from funds of which small
lottery gains were part. However,
until 1926, long after lotteries had
gone out of vogue, the building was
really nothing more than an entrance
and no mention should be made of it
In view of the present classic struc-
ture which adorns the city. The truth
is that the funds came through the
munificence of the Congress and that
the citizens of the District have I'M
doubtedly the finest courthouse in
the country. Architects whose opinion
carries weight state that. with the
the most handsome building in the
federal city.
The connection of the courthouse
with the lottery is only one of thou
sands Of interesting stories concern
ing the century-old building, which
Many illustrious judges. lawyers,
mayors; famous and novel trials and
the leading civic events of the past
have been associated with the old
pile. The courthouse. refreshened
and chaste in appearance as a bank

more splendid edifice than Had
field dreamed. But it is exempt from
the poetical penalty for raising more
sumptuous buildings. for it has not
parted with it's old and sacred asso-
Citations. The shadows"of great men
whose names are linked with early
legal history cling to its precincts.
Long ago the neighborhood took on
the legal aspect which has since dis
tinguished 1t. From the lovely Ionic
porticoes the jurists of today may
look upon the former homes of judges,
lawyers. officials and leading citizens
and reflect that the courthouse and
its environs are as unchanged in all
essentials as are justice and the law.

CR|T|C|SE SENATORS
WILLIAMS AND WALSH
Friends of Irish Freedom Allege
Antagonist to Cause
of Ireland.

Senators John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi and Thomas j. Walsh of
Montana were the objects of con-
demnatory resolutions adopted last
night at a meeting of the Friends of
Irish Freedom at Gonzaga Hall.
Senator Williams was termed a
"puissant humbug and fraud" and
Senator Walsh was charged with
departing from his people, in
scathing resolutions on the actions of
the two senators in Congress during
the past week.
Senator Walsh was charged, in
declaration proposed by Patrick j.
Ryan. with having introduced a reso-
luton to put the mongrel flag of in
ternationalism before the Stars and
Stripes; to throw into the discard the
Declaration of Independence, the Con-
stitution Of the United States and the
Monroe doctrine and to impose upon
true friends of peace"
Senator Walshs resolution was in
troduced in the Senate October II and
urged that the cause or the Irish peo-
pie be brought before the council of
the league Of nations before the
league covenant is approved. Posi-
BILE opposition of democrats to the
party because Of lack of Reputation
of a speech of Senator Williams was
intimated last night.

$4,000 Highest Prize
10000 Tickets Disposed Of.

Thirty thousand. nine hundred and
sixty tickets were signed and dis
posed of in the numerous lotteries
which Gillespie conducted for the
city. but the available record does not
disclose the sum charged for a ticket.
Perhaps about the same sums as those
mentioned in the advertisement were
charged. Half and quarter tickets
were offered in order that rich and
poor alike might gamble. AS had
been long suspe cted by TIE managers,
Gillespie became financially involved
and could not pay the prizes. He was
under a bond of $4,000. payable to
the city. His collapse was one of the
causes of the failure of the lottery.
Another was that the various states
passed laws prohibiting sale of tick
cts within their territory.
