THE SCHOOL BUILDING.

1t seems a difficult matter to heat
the High School building in severe
weather. One or more rooms were
dismissed on Tuesday rather than
jcapardize the health of the little fell
lows. What is wrong with the heat
ing plant there? 1t should be thor
oughly ovcrhuulcd or II new one nut
in.
And while we are at 1.-THE time
is not far off when entirely new
arrangements must be made for the
school. Already the building is over
crowded. There was lack of room
from the very first, when the pres
ent new building was erected. The
need of more room will be more
apparent each year. The population
is increasing. Good school arrange
mcnts ut North Tazewell would par
TALLY relieve congestion for n while,
but not for long.
The chapel may be partitioncd with
sliding doors, and class rooms afford
ed, but these makeshifts are only
makeshifts. Larger quarters must be
provided. And, of course, as every
body knows, there is as pressing Il
need outside as inside the building.
If the entire school were turned
loose ut one and the same time on
the school grounds, there would be
only comfortable standing room. The
children spill over the brim into the
street and manage to make out, but
ut the same time run the risk of
being run down by street cars and
automobiles. Room, Room" inside
and outside, is the need, and sooner
or later must be met.
Now, that is not Knocking" or
criticising-only stating plain facts,
and facts, too, known to all parties
and the needs are recognized and
would be met ut once if only ways
and means could be provided. But,
ways and means must and will be
provided. and no harm will be done
by keeping these things constantly
before the people.

Virginia is less than eight dollars
an acre. This must strike everybody
rs absurd. Try to buy these lands at
"a fair market value" and see what
would happen. Where can farm lands
be bought in Virginia for eight dol
lars OF three times eight dollars an
acre. The poorest, most isolated hill
side in Virginia is worth more than
this for goose pasture.
Virginia has, according to the audi.
tos report, 2l,420,75S acres Of farm
lands. The assessed value is given as
$l66,671,292. AT $500 an acre the as
sessment would be $l7l 1865 ,064, which
is $5,691,772 more than the assess
ed value. Thus it is seen, that the
assessment is below $500 an acre. Is
this "fair market value" Of tho farm
lands of Virginia?
The Constitution says the board,
left room for the exercise OF discre-
ton" OIL the part Of the assessors.
There it is again! What is "wise
discretion?"

an elastic meaning. There ought to be
uniformity in some manner brought

The Other Side OF The Case.


This is Leap Year once again,
Danger turks 70 single men;
You must be careful what YOU do.
Or some sweet maid will say to YOU.
Tbs SO sudden; then you'll be
Sailing on the matrimonial sea.
Tell us not in idle jingle,
Marriage is an empty dream,
For we know it's very mingled
And is far from all serene.
Lille is real, life is earnest,
Single blessedness is fact,
But it's true that to possess it,
One must have lot of tact.
Guard your glances. words and actions
Be most careful what you say,
Lest before this year is ended,
She may name your wedding day.
Life is long and youth is fleeing,
And our hearts so light and gay
Are not tempted by the romanccs
OF Leap Year wedding day.
In the worlds broad field of battle
And not to your care and strife,
Utter not the VOWS that bind you
For worse or better to a wife.
Lives of married men remind us,
We should live our lives alone;
here is no other way of having
Peace and harmony at home.

THE DEBACLE IN THE CABINET.

The good Book says that if two be
not agreed they cannot walk to-
gethcr, and nothing remains but
separation. Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lam
sing did not agree, and did the proper
thing-separatc The same thing had
happened previously in more than
one instance.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that Mr.. Lansing did nothing more
than was his duty in calling together
the cabinet in informal meetings to
discuss matters of state while Mr..
Wilson was incapicitatcd. Whether or
not Mr.. Lansing asked the Presidents
permission or advice ms to calling the
meetings is not stated. The Prcsi-
dent mt no time has been too i'll to
hear statement or answer II uucs-
ton. 1t may be that had Mr. Lansing
chosen to do so he could have ac-
quainted Mr.. Wilson with the fact,
and the president would have been
able at any time to answer yes or no.
He, Mr.. Lansing, felt it his duty to
take the bit in his teeth, great the
reins and drive ahead 1t does not
appear that the members of the cab
met saw any thing wrong in the call
ing of these meetings, but consented
and approved, by their silence at
least, and were no doubt surprised at
the outcome. AS seen from one angle
the members of the cabinet are not
entirely blameless along with Mr..
Lansing, (if any body is to be blam-
ed) for consentmg to participate in
meetings which they knew or should
have known, was irregular, or as Mr..
Wilson claims, unconstitutional
However, it has been known for n
long time, that the two were not
agreed, and that cabinet affairs
brought the sore to the head, and
gave both men result which each
had been aiming Mt for year or
more. AS stated above public SYM
pathy seems to be with Mr.. Lansing.
He did nothing wrong, and Mr.. Will
sons point that the cabinet meet
ings held by Mr.. Lansing were not
constitutional, does not seem to have
been well taken, as such meetings
were held frequently under former
administrations Besides, as the New
York Times states, "thc cabinet is
not constitutional body"
The fact that MIR. Wilson has been
sick man for more than six months,
confined to his bed most of the time
and to his room all the time, cot
on his brain which produced natural
ly partial paralysis, does not seem to
be accepted as an excuse whatever
for his action on the one hand, or
excite n particle of sympathy on the
other hand. His enemies and some OF
his former friends, are using merci-
lessly the prod hook.
The Baltimore Sun says:
"Nor is there any evidence or
irritability in his letters to the Secre-
tary Of State. His language is as
calm as that of patient school
master who has just called up a
naughty boy to his desk for discip-
line. If he is angry, he conceals it
admirably. Let none of Mr. Wilson's
enemies infer from this incident that
he is not in good mental shape, that
his temper has been impaired by i'll
ness. In truth, the accurate inference
seems to be that he is more fit then
ever, and that he is feeling so well
that it is n pleasure as well as a
duty to reassert his authority"

Letters from Nome dated the first of August say it has rained there all summer and that it was storming there at that time. The country was flooded and no where was there a scarcity of water for mining.
 While the rain had been favorable for mining, the storms had interfered with the Siberian and training busi- ness. The people were hopeful, how ever, August l, that there would be considerable business developed in August and September Tho bad weather and the drop in the fur market had practically destroyed tine years fur business. In the early spring, everybody, apparently, was going in the fur traffic. Those who did not have boats were trying tQ buy them, and none were to be had at any price. The low market aad bad weather has transformed this. Now. apparently. everybody wants to sell a boat or two and there is no market at any price for them

 American tractors pull. two three or four blows and are too large for economical operation on any farm of less than 130 acres which makes them impracticable for European use.

If we estimate the vast balance of the
contents of the Imperial Museum as be-
ing equal in value to the paintings, we
reach a total of 1917 ,645,000 Then we
may estimate the ten remaining princi-
pal imperial and princely collections in
Vienna, including the world-famous
Liechtenstein gallery, as each worth
one-tenth the Imperial Museum con-
tents. This would give us the stagger-
ing total of $735, ,2S0,000 for the total
Vienna collections.
This is admittedly rough way Of
reaching total, but judging by the
prices paid by American nillionaires, it
is decidedly moderate. 1t would re-
uuire months and perhaps years Of work
by experts to fix dependable market
value for all the Vienna collections.
