This method of assessment Is too palpably sublime to suffer comment. Jack up the valuation, let the state jack the jacked 10 per cent, pocket the money, leave the state!

THE MARCHERS. Up in the Canadian Northwest there is a community of religious fanatics who, every little while, be come excited, sell their household and farm effects, and start out on a march for Nowhere, singing and praying on the way. No supplies are taken along; they say the Lord will provide. These foolish marches have be come so disastrous that they are- pro hibited by the government; but the marchers say this Is an interference with religious liberty, and complain bitterly. I often think these religions fan atics may be fairly compared with strikers. The strikers harm them selves, and starve their women and children. When the government complains, the strikers become more excited than ever, and say their lib erties have been interfred with. Fre quently the strikers make no de mands; no power on earth can sat isfy them. They simly want to march; to quit work and agitate about being deprived of their liber ties, and of being hungry when they might be well fed. E. W. Howe's Monthly. IT'S A LONG, LONG WAY (Following are some extracts from the speech of Will II. Hays, chairman of the Republican National Committee, at the Lincoln Day Republican .meeting in St. Louis, February 12:) What would Lincoln say today! Presumptuous as it might seem to assume to answer the question, surely no harm can come from asking it. Could we in fact do better than pause occasionally f, in the present turmoil of existence and seek guidance from the great minds whose still living words have never failed to point the paths which invariably have proved tot be the true onest And was there ever before a time when thought upon what Lincoln would ; or even might think, say and do, could have been more helpful or more inspiring than now? Recognition of Lincoln's true greatness has grown steadily since "Z ' , '. mZ ' . . r , ' , . . w Secretary Lane, who is one of the that during the past few years it has been enhanced mightily through-J really great men or America re- worid- . . . . .. . . .. 1 . , fleets the situation with accuracy. - mere goes tne spirit oi Lancom at the head, ejaculated tna Premier of England when he saw the advance guard of American soldiers sweeping forward over, Flanders fields. And when the awful carnage ceased the foremost o living phil osophers, gazing apprehensively into the troubled future, murmured despairingly, "What Europe needs now is a Lincoln." Truer words were never spoken.

Herbert Hoover Is to all intents and purposes a sturdy Republican, but he makes it very plain that if the League of Nations becomes an issue in the presidential campaign be will not vote for a party which does not stand for the great cove nant. He says: With it there is hope, not only of the prevention ' of war, but that also we may safely economize in mil- What they would do when they had a federation is not made clear. They might write letters to one another or exchange photographs but there wouldn't be a whole lot in a busi ness way as there are so many groups producing along similar lines. Better for them to get Into the thick of world commerce, rather than to make any attempt to flock by themselves. If the government would have us produce more, let it nrnvide an income tax return blank that won't consume so much of our iime ana energy. highways, health and the like.

Hoover's blunt state ment: i "I will not vote for a party that does not stand for the league," is the voice of other millions whose party chains are ropes of straw They simply will not be bound to any organization which opposes the treaty which they feel to be the hope of the world.

THE WOMAN OP IT. The women - do a liberal amount of alking over high prices, but do not put themselves to much trouble to help correct them. The Women's Fair Price Commission in. Illinois sent out about two hundred thou sand cards on which housewives were asked to make detailed reports of cases of profiteering which came under their observation. So far less than one hundred re sponses have been received and hard ly a dozen of them gave the commis sion anything to work on. One worn an sent in a protest against the high price charged for humming birds and another remonstrated against an outrageous overcharge for ber skunk skin furs. There were kicks over the trim mlng for their hats and necks, but not any about the table. But possibly the government will get after the greedy misers who are profiteering in humming birds and skunks and let the packers alone. LIKE THE CRAD.
