The matter of assessments is re ceiving unusual attention at this time. This being the triennial when values will THE be flxea for the ASSESSMENT next three years, QUESTION it Is proper that those who have the duty to perform should exer- oise oare and judgment bo as to do no injustice to property owners. It is the intention ot the law to tax every person in exact aooordanoe with the value of his property, and, if this is done there oan be no rea sonable oomplaint. The burden will then be equitably disposed, every one paying his juat porportion. This js fair. No one should be com pelled to assume a disproportionate amount, and by whatever prooess the rosult is reached the assessment should represent the value of the property. One obj notion urged is that an lnorease in value will afford irre sponsible township offloials an op portunity to levy nnoonsolonable and burdensome taxes. This argu ment is a reflection on the intelli gence of votors. If they will exercise oare in seleoting their officers and eleot only men of judgment and honesty, no matter with whioh party they affiliate, there will be no great danger from this source. Party lines should be disregarded in local affairs and only the fitness of the man considered. The tax a farmer pays to maintain the state and nation is a more trifle and is in no wise regulated by the valuation placed on his land. Roads, sohoolg, bridges, the poor, oost of local oourts and the exponsos and feos of township and county offloials constitute the sub jects he is taxed to maintain. Ha knows porsonally the men who seek towuship and county offices, he knows thoir fitness and worth and if he is so hide bound and narrow as to pretar a party name to his own and neighbors best interests he deserves to be taxed into a realizirg eonso of his bigotry. There its no vulid argument against doing what is just and fair in the lijatter of assessments. There are no substantial reasons why the law regulating them tiUould not be obeyed, einteiaiiy when such a course would work justice and not iniquity to the tuxpuyeis. The Reformed church at Bushkill litis extuinled a full to liev. iis'iilo vt V. uU-rtom u, N. Y., sad he is expert,. d to n.uina hia charge in a I'VUJ.'ltJ of Wt uka. We honrtily commend the effort to organizo a choral society in town. The method of Irani A CHORAL ing to sing by note seems to have lost SOCIETY prestige greatly dunng the past twr decades. Years ago there was hard ly a country school house in which a singing school was not hold during the winter months and towns also maintained singing sociotles. Now only ft few voung people, conipnrn tively, attempt to learn or practice Ringing. The general dfwire to do si. which formorly provnilod appears t " have waned. The church choin and Sunday schools are evidences te dder people of this decline in voci ' proflcioncy. The truth of the oV triplet : "God's pralfies here are sung for hire Ily Satan's operatic choir Which Mammon only can Ineplre. has become a truism in man churches where formerly the congrc gation was happy to participate in thnt part of the worship. If interest oan boawakenedin vocal niusio gen- erall not only much bonefit but also great pleasure will be a resultnnt. Judge Erdman can nowsympnthise with Governor Pennypackor and if oondolences are in order they may exchange greetings. A recent issue of the Philadelphia North American ptotures the judge playing golf, he recently won the Monroe oounty championship in a "driving con test," the ball ia the opposition vote, a bunker guarded by Mr. Staples looms np in the course and the question is oan the judge drive the opposition far or will he foozle? New life has been infused in the Milford and Mntamoras railroad that is, it is reported now thai it will be finished p. d. q. or sooner. SOUTHERN MOUNTAINEERS Mrs. Tracy Delivered an Interesting Address in the Presbyterian Church Last Night At the meeting in the Presbyter ian church last evening Mrs. Joseph T. Tracy of New York addressed the audience on a topic novel in some respects because of her stand point of view. Her remarks were a brief resume of the condition and needs of the Mountaineers in the South. She urges that they are decendod from good stock, but be cause ot environment have degener ated to their present low intellect ual and moral level ; that with per sistence they may be educated and imbibe good citizenship and become a force in disseminating respect for law, orderand religion. They permit, if they do ndt yet greatly encourage, the building of school houses and ohurolies in their territory, and Mrs Tracy presents a rather attractive picture of the possible effeot whioh an increase in the number of those institutions may have on a class of people generally regarded as some what incorrigible and rather hope. Ies3ly addicted to feuds, tobacco and moonshine whiskey. Her manner is sincere, her argu ment and illustrations pleasantly persuasive and the denizens of the mouutains in the south could have no more potent advocate for their regeneration than Mrs. Tracy. The assooiate judges in Monroe oounty overruled Judge Erdman in the matter ot his new rule for challenging jurojs according the act of 1901 and the oonrt will adhere to the former practice. TT 0 VQ..& Eight cents a pound is what a young woman paid for twelve pounds of flesh. She was thin and weak and paid one dollar for a bottle of Scott's Emulsion, and by tak ing regular doses had gained twelve pounds in weight before the bottle was finished. Eight cents a pound is cheap for such valuable ma terial. Some pay more, some less, some get nothing for their money. You get your money's worth when you buy Scott's Ernulbion. We will send you a little free. SCOTT & LOWNE, Chemists, 409 l'earl Street, New Yoik. joe. and Jj.oo; dli druists. Methodist Church Joltings. (Ily Rkv. V. A. Wood ) Sermon subjects for Sunday, Oct, 4'b: Morning, "The Other World." feveninir, "Suffering." The pastor hns been unable, be- ctnien of circumstances beyond bis c mtrol, to write for his column in the pnpor in the last two issues. The coining of Rev, Arpe to oon- durt evangelistic services was timely after all as he filled in the break which the pistor's absence occasion cd. Brother Arpe labored faithful ly, though at great disadvantage, as-, bveryone will readily recognize, and although results In tho salvation of souls were not seen we cannot say wo have not had a revival. Our church has beeu spiritually refresh ed nd aroused to more earnest endeavor. Vfo are aura Brother Arpe succeeded in making himself beard all over town even by those whose nerves wore not sufficiently under control to permit their enter ing the church. This la all right, however, ns some folks can't be reached in any other way. Some day the proachors may have to stand on church steeples and shout their messages to the town. The attendance, however, hns been good, the meetings interesting and not lacking iu life, and the impress made by the earnest words of the evangelist we hope will be of lasting benefit, to all who heard him. We shall look forward to his return to us in March if, in God's providence, it may so be arranged. In the meantimo we invite attendance at all our mid-week services. We Rhall plan to make them as interest ing and profitable as possible. Subject next week, "Egypt and Canaan, or the contrast between false and true religion."

A brief sketch of his life will be inserted oext wook for the perusal of those interested. - Many good friends have very kindly ex tended their sympathy to the pastor in hia hour of sorrow and for this he is very grateful. Meeting of the Official Board uoxt Tuesday evening at the parsonage. Full attendance requested as there are several matters of importance to be considered. Presbyterian Chroniclings (By Rev. E. M. Bmead.) The regular morning and evening services will be conducted as usual next Lord's Day. In as much as last Sunday was set apart for "Rally Day" and as much as we did not keep it in the usual manner it la advisable to observe next Sunday. Lot there be a general rallying of all our forces in the church attendance, the Sunday school and the Christian Endeavor. The pastor will expect to see you all next Sunday. The Quarterly Calondar will bo printed in time for distribution at the Sunday services. This issue Mil contain the new cut of the church whioh Thk Press has had made. The coming quartor will witness some changes in our mode of work and this Calondar will give you the information desired in this matter. It was a great pleasure to have the Rev. Herman C. Berg, D. D., pastor of the Reformed church at EUenville, with us last Wednesday eveningj at prayer meeting, flis words were much appreciated by all present. Mr. Perot's plan for a choral society in Milford is very good and should receive the support of us all. The talent that wo have here should be devoloped. Then, too, there is the pleasure that such a society will afford us. Please come to tho church for tho meeting one week from to night (Friday.) Our most sincere and heartfelt sympathy ia horeby extended to Mr. Wood in his sore bereavement in the loss of his father. The Lord gave, but in His all-wise providence He bath taken away, but may both bo looked upon as blessings from our Heavenly Fathor by, those who mourn. The Woman ' Presbyterinl Mis sionary Society met with ns yester day morning and evening and it is midly putting it to say they brought us an inspiration and blessing. May they tnke away with them kind re uje in bo ranees of our hospitality and the realizations of our prayers and best wihhes.

Dated, New York, S?pt. 10, 1903.- The trainlbad of Washington news paper correspondents who have been milking a tour of the arid states can be depended upon during the coming year to give the east a much needed education on tho vast possibilities and latent resources of thnt wonder ful region. The strongest point impressed upon the minds of the correspondents was that the develop ment of the west makes for the pros' perity and progress of the whole country. The time has come for the government to realize that the vast land and water resources of what Is known as the arid region belong to the whole people of the country and that the gfeat public domain Is as much the heritage of the children of Massachusetts as it is of those of Montana. This rich domain, needing only water, should be held lor actual settlers and homebuilders and kent from land speculators and great live stock interests which are anxious to absorb it.
