Misguided,

For misguided patriotism commend
us to the natives OF Nkolaevsk. a dis
trict on the eastern coast Of Siberia,
and far to the north Of Vladivostok,
who have annihilated the Japanese mil
itary forces in charge OF that place
end massacred several hundred Japa
reese residents. including the cons@l.
That these Siberian peasants thought
they could get away with murder at
the expense of their japanese dictators
is proof OF the low standard OF edu-
cation and general information pre-
vaillng in that region.
The mouth OF the japanese dragon no
doubt was watering for just such an
overture as this before making his de-
Youring way into fresh fields OF Sibe-
rian conquest, having received a dis
appointing dearth OF provocation since
the recent occupation of Nladivostok.
At the present time there is ice on
the river Non on which the chief city
OF the offending district is located. and
It is not possible for the Japanese to
send a military expedition to settle the
scores.
But when the southern breezes blow
again upon Nikolaevsk they will come
laden with calamity like the winds that
blew the pestilence upon some ancient
city.

MERCHANTS TAX
RETURNS TO Be
INVESTIGATED

The city board of equalization has
made better progress in the review OF
realty assessments within the past two
weeks than any similar beard for years.
Fewer complaints have been filed in
spite Of the fact that valuations, after
each ward has been equaliZed, are be-
ing increased by flat 25 per cent.
Taxpayers of Memphis only ask
square deal" said R. L. Jordan, chair
man of the board Saturday, and they
can see by comparing assessments in
their own localities that this board is
giving them that.

Last year the board began such

IN their opinion the board was not
authorized to review reports made by
the merchants and the board rescnded
action it had already taken in raising

Geddes.

Not within the memory OF this gen.
Grafton has an ambassador appeared in
one Of tho major capitals Of the world
with palmer manner Of speaking than
this Sir Auckland Geddes, newly ar
rived British ambassador to these Unit
ed States. There is a tradition--a su-
perstition-to the effect that n diplo-
mat must possess the voice OF a dove
and the guile OF serpent, but II is GER
tain that Sir Auckland's tones are not
too dulcet, and we do not believe that
his designs are deep and tortuous.
The first thing Sir Auckland did upon
arrival on our shores was to out with
an unequivocal statement OF England s
position on the Irish question. He was
not looking for trouble. but the ques-
ton came his way, and he was man
enough to deal with It without apollo
gies and without postponsment.
Now Sir Auckland made great
speech before several hundred guests
and members OF the chamber of com
merce OF the United States at Atlantic
city, in which he came out squarely
with a plea for further American as
sistance for the tottering European fl
nancial system.

nails squarely on the head right out in
sight OF the public,
Sir Auckland seems to be that type
OF statesman conforming TO the Ameri-
can rather than to the British ideal.
His candor is something refreshing to
world which has heard more about
open understandings openly arrived at
than IL has had the good fortune to wit
ness, and the hope is that this gift will
not bring him into any trouble with
the powers that be.
