HIGH AMONG WORLDS GREAT
Despite His Admitted FraiIties, the
Name OF Robert Burns Is a
N Deathless One.

One hundred and sixty years ago
there was born In Ayrshire In Scotland
a poor mans son who spent his own
life in poverty or the next thing TO II.
He was born and lived In an out-of-
the-way place at time when out-of
the way places were hard to find. And
yet he is remembered still, though oil
the rich men of his time are forf often.
The world made a beaten pathway to
his door and still travels tn path In
ever-lncreasing numbers rs the years
90 by.
Also, this man, MS man. was as
weak as water. II he were living to-
dry In any half straii-laced commun-
ity. he would be branded as social
cutcNst. He was n proflgate,
Yet. with all thpt, and more. no
memory Is more beloved than the
memory Of him now, century after
he passed into the silence and charity
OF the grave. No other name Is better
lrown or upon more lips today than
his. Among the palm.crowned com
pany Of the poets, he stands with the
five greatest.
The man was Robert Burns, and all
that we have heard said concerning
him merely proves that song is the
most denthless OF oil things. The
songs that Burns made touched the
deepest depths Of the human heart.
They leaped the quiet boundaries OF
obscure Ayrshire and swept the whole
world with their wondrous music.
We have mentioned his faults only
10 prove that human fralltles have
nothing 70 do with divine genius. God
could have chosen saint upon whom
to bestow the gifts that he bestowed
on Robert Burns, but he did not do
so. He chose n sinner.
Wherefore, "rhere are more thlngy

onEY rnE NEw scnooL LAW.

- HERE are several important facts in connection witk
the new school Code Of which certain OF its critics
seem to lose sight their discussion Of educational
situation They are:
First-That before the new code framed II was
acknowledged generally that public school system
was sadly deficient in many essential particulars.
second-That the new school Code born in that
knowledge
Third-That it was passed by duly-elected Lcssla-
ture.
Fourlh-Tha was approved by duy-eecied gov
snor.
Ffth-That when It's validity called into question:
ID was declared by the highest judicial authority in our
state 10 be constitutional
sxth-That II is today the law Of state and that
t calssfor respect obedience the does any
other law.
seycnth-That any person who urges that the law be
deaed and violated is criminal equally with the per-
son who denes and violates it.
Eighth-That those whb framed the code and those
who advocated It's passage have claimed perfection
for IT, but are willing that It shall be amended when Its
mperfecon have been revealed by the light Of practical
application and experience.
Meanwhile as HE school Code is the law OF the land,
70 viii be well for certain persons to refrain from adj
ysng others defy and violate It. thereby putting them
selves s the criminal class and il will be equally well
for dl persons who affected by the law TO remem-
Der hati the law stands today and that It VIII
remain the law until the Legislature has amended or
repealed It,
II is deserving Of public respect and a fair trial.
II il proves to be a good law, It will live
If It proves to be a bad law it will be repealed.
If it proves to be part good and part bad IL will be
amended 10 make it all good.
Meanwhile Il will be well for certain paid and volun-
eer critics Of the new law urge others to violate
it. BECAUSE in Instances of crime there is ample law to
deal with accessories before the fact and II should be
invoked against them.

CITY WILL SUE
FOR UkP Id TAX

of $4,000
OFFICIALS SHAPE
PLAN OF ACTION

An important conference on delin-
quent tnxes was held at the Public
Building To-Day at which it was de-
clded 70 press action for collection Of
some $4,000 due the city.
The conference was attended by the
members Of the finance committee OF
City Council, headed by Councilman
Forwood. the city tax collectors and
City Solicitor Huxley. 1t was held In
the tax collection office.
Council finance committee and the
tax collectors have been listing delln-
duent taxes for several weeks past, and
finally have completed the work. They
found an aggregate OF 500, 600 due the
city. OF this sum 5000 was paid up
in September and S7,2i0 In October or
~, $40, leaving a balance still due re
city.
II was understood after the confer
ence today that City Solicitor Huxley
will go ahead with preparation OF
suits TO recover the money owing Be-
fore action is begun In the courts, how
ever. il IS probable that an agent OF
the tax collectors viii be sent out in
each ward who viii find out exactly
why the dellnquents do not make
their payments. The delnquents num-
ber something over 500.
When the canvass Of the wards Is
finished, a particularly tlagIant case
OF delinquency will be selected in each
ward, and action will be begun against
him or her, as the case may be, in the
city courts.
The terms Of the present tax collec-
ton law, passed by the state Legisla-
turc four years ago, are pretty stiff in
sOfar as they concern delinquents.
Where prior to the adoption Of the
act, delinquent collection was some
what OF a personal matter with the
collectors to whom this job was vir-
tually "farmed out" on commission,
the present act imposes the collecting
duty squarcly upon the tax collection
office. irrespective Of who Nils it, max
ing such collections entirely imper-
