present system of levying school
taxes. Don't place the pig or the
yearling above your child's education.

If your district is backward in the
matter of schools attend the meeting
called by County Superintendent of
Education Montgomery to meet here
Saturday and be sure that you have
provided for the fundamental needs
of your child before you leave, by
agreeing to a larger school levy if
need be, or the prompt payment of
the present levy so that your children
and their faithful teacher will not
have to suffer the consequences of an
ineXcusable folly.

Rich Men in Williamsburg in 1911.
(By William Willis Boddie)

| 10y Wulldlli Willis OOouiCJ
Theodore Gourdin was the largest
taxpayer in Williamsburg District in
1911. He contributed S15S.10 to'the
district treasury. The next five in
order were: Francis Cordes, $3.50;
James Burgess, s35.52; Stephen Mil
ler, s27.22; Moses Glover, s24.99; and
William Mcdonald, s24.49. Only two
women paid that year more than
ten dollars in taxes. They were Janet
Montgomery, $14.13, and Elizabeth
Swinton, $3.50. ~----s
Those paying amounts from $4,000
to $1,000 were: James Bradley, VIII
liam Burrows, George Burrows, Ben
jamin Britton, James Campbell, VIII
liam Dobbein, Robert Friersor, Jr.,
John Fulton, DR.. John Graham, James
Graham, John James, Isaac Keels,
William Lester, Robert Lowry, Alex
ander Mcknight, Thomas McCrca, Sr.,
Thomas McCrea, Jr., James Mcbride,
ST., John Mathews, Alexander Nc
Crea, James McFadden, Isaac Ma
thews, William Nelson, Isaac Nelson,
John Scott, Sr., John Scott, Jr., Rob-
ert Sutton, James Tisdale, Samuel
Wilson, Robert Witherspoon, Gavin
Witherspoon, and Hugh Wilson. The
estates of the following men were
taxed between $4,000 and $1,000:
Thomas Blackwell, William Cooper,
Robert Erwin, David Gordon, William
Jonesj Robert McCottry, Paul
Michaux, John Wilson and James
Witherspoon.
A large majority of Williamsburg's
taxpayers in 1911 paid amounts less
than ore dollar. But then the ex-
renses of the district were less than
the salary Of one rural policeman of
the present day.
Nobody now wants to return to
1911. While some do not want to
pay the taxes levied today, every
body wants the things for which the
money is spent.
All the world knows the savage
pays no taxes.

CANADA HAS NEW
NATIONAL ANTHEM

Victoria, B. CA new Canad-
ian national anthem, written by
Hon. Mr.. Justice Archer Martin,
of the Court of Appeal was for
mally endorsed by the Native
Sons Of Canada at a meeting
here recently. The new song has
been named Canada, Our Can

working out the score. The ver-
ses are as follows:-
Canada, Our Canada.
Hail Stately country of our
sires
To thee we light the altar fires,
Ne'er to be quenched till life
expires,
Canada, our Canada.
Each true sons heart glows with
the flame
Of patriot pride to see thy name,
Writ large upon the role of fame,
Canada, our Canada.
Chorus
Canada, we hail thee
Whosoe'er may assail thee,
Never shall we fail thee,
Canada, our Canada.
From East to st. Elias towers,
The cry comes through the
awakened hours

powers,
Canada, our Canada.
The time has come to take thy
place,
Among the nations, face to face,
Equal at last with every race,

WHEN THE WORM TURNS

The big corporations, the fnan-
ciers and the new breed of war
millionaires are entrenched be-
hind their dollars and their greed
and can see nothing but their own
pleasure and their own will. Their
towering ambition is greater
wealth. and power.
The labor unions, long suffer-
ing from capitalistic rapacity,
have assumed gigantic proper
tions where by the nod of one
man they are able to paralyze the
industry Of the country, throw
hundreds of thousands of people
out of employment, and bring 9TH
ers to sickness, starvation and
the grave. Their power has gone
to their heads,
The two classes combined rep
resent only a small proportion Of
the population of the country, yet
they practically demonstrate ev-
erything to the exclusion of all
other classes.
The farmers, the doctors, law
yers, merchants, editors, preach
ers, and millions Of others are at
their mercy and gasping under
the capitalistic and labor heels
because they are not organized.
They represent the great majority
of the population, and yet they
are dominated by the small minor
ity.
But the worm will endure just
so much torment, and then it will
turn. And this is equally true of
the worms in the human family.
In Russia the aristocrats plum
dered the peasants until human
nature could stand no more. Then
the peasants arose In their might
and tore the aristocrats asunder.
Russia is bolshevistic hell as
result of this misuse of power.
Washington should remove its
smoked glasses, take look
around, and note conditions as
they exist.
Some day the American worm
may turn.
1t may tire of the capitalistic
plundering and the welding OF
the labor lash.
1t may send people to Washing
ton who will represent the great
masses, and not these two small
classes.
Then the fnancier with a bill
lion in his fist will look no better
than the labor dictator with 6
lash in his hand.
And neither will look good al
all.
Even in America the classes are
not immune from the wrath o1
the masses-when desperation
points the way.
