Newport's Finances
in Bad Condition

NEWPORT, Nov. 12.-Newport's
finances appear to be IN deplorable
condition, according to the outcome
of meeting of number of citizens
with the board of mayor and alder
men at 2:30 o'clock yesterday.
The board met to consider and fix
a tax rate for the present year and
to consider the proposal to double
the water tax levy of the town, same
having been previously raised SOC.
The tax levy proposed for the current
year was $4.00 on the 300 of as
sessed property, an increase Of $1.85
over last year. With this levy the
property holders in the town of New
port would pay on their holdings $500
per 500 of assessed valuation, the
county rate being $30c.
In discussion at the meeting t de-
veloped that there has not been for
two years any tax levy for school
purposes, The school expenses, ag-
gregating about $4,000 per annum,
have been met with funds from other
departments, largely from the water
works income. The recorder showed
that there is an outstanding indebted
ness of about $4,000 for teachers
salaries, going back as far as two
years, and that teachers have been
paid by city warrants ~gnich they have
discounted at the banks.
Indications are that a sufficient levy
for wiping out all the floating indebt-
edness will be mad7, Whatever the
amount, and the future, as hereto
fore, will be left to look out for it.

Joe Cannon Against

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-Capi.
tai and labor are misused words and
in reality all are consumers" accord
ing to Representative Cannon, of Illi-
nois, in discussion today on the
problems of capital and labor. He
declares that labor "is a condition of
the human race imposed upon man
in the beginning and capital is the
savings of labor, and that we are all
consumers and producers alike.
In his definition Of labor Cannon
says, "Mr. Gompers is saying workers
are not an impersonal factor in pro-
duction, but human beings whose
characteristics, impulses and ambi-
tons are exactly like those of human
beings, stated the problem correct
ly" and adds II wonder why it is nee
essary for a man who never worked
in a steel mill to call a steel strike or
for Mr.. Gompers to concern himself
about the coal strike more than any
other worker.
81 think" he continued. "Mr.
,Gompers' statement that cooperation
for production depends fundamental
" upon good will, very pertinent, and
| wonder why he or any other man
should think that this cooperation can
be transferred by both sides to an
outsider or outsiders, however wise
they may be, or however altruistic."
In summing up his philosophy of
problems of labor and capital, he
says:
at won't do for any one group of
workers to set themselves apart as
more important than the other and
entitled to dictate the whole scheme
of life and it is not good time for
any man on the outside to butt in and
tell the workers in any particular
plant how they should cooperate. 1t
is a good time for miners and opera
tors to meet face tu face in each
group of mines and settle their diff
ferences by collective bargaining
among themselves and tell the pro-
fessional co-operators to go to the
place where they make business of
string up strikes and raising hell"

More Wars Are
Ahead, Belief

KNOXVILLE, Nov. 12.-"Wars do
not end with peace, but with prepara-
ton for other wars" was the declara-
tion of Bishop c. f. WoodcOck. Of
Kentucky, principal speaker at an
"ArmiStice Day" celebration at St.
Johns Episcopal church here Tues
day morning.
In opening, his address the distin-
guished speaker declared that while
the war has been won, we have yet
to win peace, and added that the
fighting for peace will strain the moral
stamina Of the men who fought in
France as much if not more than did
the physical conflict in those days pre-
ceding the signing of the armistice.
There are many trying experiences
ahead, the speaker continued, and
those who imagine the nation is
through with conflict are living in =
fools paradise, for the actual con-
flict is only beginning.
Wars never end in peace, Bishop
Woodcock stated. but only end in the
preparation for new wars. He called
attention to the fact that from 1000
B. c.. to 1000 A. D., a period of g.
900 years, there was only 240 years
when the world was at peace. He de-
clared in his opinion C1ls is not the
last war, and that nations already are
beginning to prepare for another,

TOY SHIPS.

toy soldiers contributed to the mlitarization of the
German people and helped to spread false ideas of the
gamor OF war among other nations surely general dis
tribution of toy ships among children will stimulate
wholesome love for the sea-faring life.
This is the belief of Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board psychologists will agree with him. Having busted
himself for the past two years with the production Of
ships until the United States has the second largest mer
chant fleet in the world Mr. Hurley devotng his atten
ton to the problem Of getting sailors for the ships
1t big and growing task A generation of sailors
cannot be produced in day or year. Men may be OBJ
tanned somehow to man ships now ready but what is
needed assurance of steadily increasing supply of bred
sailors hereafteryoung men who long to 90
to sea- who love the poetry and adventure of it and who
by play study and experience have fitted themselves for
a sea career.
1t is an excellent plan Ships or boats always appeal
lnstncty to children. 1t should be easy with large num-
bers of little Americans to turn that instinct into per-
manen love for water craft and all they represent and
thus furnish inspiration for the skill and knowledge that
can be acquired as the boy grows up.
In the case of lads destined to enter other pursuits

FRACTIONAL COINAGE.

There is a demand in parts Of the country for

Element Of prices Many things that formerly cost nickel
now cost six or cents things that used to cost
cine now cost IL or IL cents ETC. One city wants seven
cent piece to facilitate the payment Of street fares
Other suggestions call for the revival Of the old twocent
and three-cent pieces
This however, is rather futile. Experience in the
past has proved that all ordinary needs Of currency can
be met by the simple system Of and fives 1t is no
great hardship to use two three four pennies for the

The minting of new fractional coins would probably
be useless for another reason There assurance that
the prices going to stay where they are They keep

and her finger nails. She knew she
must put on a fresh gingham apron, too.
But this morning she had slept late.
She was afraid the dewdrops would all
be gone, so she just tied a bit of string
around her hair and let it stuck out be-
hind. She buttoned one shoe, and had
fastened four buttons of the other when
she dropped the buttoner. She was in
too much Of hurry to hunt for it, so
she let the shoe so unbuttoned. She
had on yesterday S apron with two jam
spots ON it and-worst of all-sbe did
not brush her finger nails nor her
teeth.
She slipped down the back stairs and
was just running out the door when
Mothermine came out of the pantry
