The RECORD has always tried to come
as near telling the truth regarding this
county as the exhilarating ozone in the
atmosphere would allow. When our
crop prospects have been poor We have
SAID 50 when there was no foundation
for rumers Of railroad building, we have
given such rumors no credsnce and have
net published them. The action of On
editor who takes tho opposite course is
just as reprehensible as though his false
hoods were uttered by word of mouth.
More so for written lie gets wider cir
culatien than On oral lie. A man has no
more right to knowingly distort the truth
through his newspaper than he has to pre-.
varicate in private. In keeiing with this
course we stated a fortni ghtago that the
season here was. late, and that soaking
rain was needed. So it wa4 But. hap.
PLY, it is no longer needed aud we can
now inform our nonresident readers
most of them relatives Of our settlers OF
owners of land here--that the soaking
rain has come; that last week we hai

that it came steadily and went into tht
soil that fine. warm. growing weathe,
followed; that the crops responded q,

were never better. Should this favorable
outlook change during the season. We
shall so report it. But at present there
are ten chancs to one that this year EN-
mons will produce her biggest crop.

NEXT Tuesday is the date set by law
for electing school officers, ut which time
county superintendent, directors and
township treasurers are to be chosen.
Last year in most of tho sub-dlstriets of
the various townships very little interest
was manifested. This shortcoming should
not be repeated. From superintendent
to director there Is not an unimpovtant
Office in the school system. Interests Of
tho most vital nature are IN the keep.
ing of our school officers. and yet nobody
seems to take much interest in choosing
them. II is q fact that. with the small
vote polled last year in many townships,
it would have been possible for fcw
men - put themselves in efics solely for
the purpose of robbinE township. Not
that such thing IS likely to come to pass
in any township; but With an inaiguif.
cant vote the possibility always exists.
For instance, suppose three or four men
desired to plunder township. Before
election thuy would meet and form their
conspiracy. They would say: well.
there won't be more than half dozen
votes cast; no one cares for school
election. Well elect ourselves to the
offices we'll make one of eur number
chairman Z; we'll put in clerk to our lik.
ing then We'll issue few thousand dol
lars werth of bogus school.orders, sell
'em and skip" As said before, this is
an improbable picture but it is possible
whenever and wherever the mass of the
people neglect their duty at . school elec.
ton. Besides, where it is thought that q
small vote will be polled, job may be
put up and successfully carried out to
elect an Objectionable man over one for
whom three. fourths of the voters would
have cast their ballots had they been
present at the polls. No such laxi,y OF
interest as was shown at our last school
election should be again manifested, for
it is certainly dangerous shirking Of
duty,

Editor Mccormack, of the Graf
ton Eagle, has taken fit over the
fact that General Manager Glenn
ents, in company with number OF
West Virginia delegates-being one
himself-tO the st. Louis cOnven-
tiOn, utilized his private car as a
means of conveyance to the Demo
cratic Mecca. Friend Macs fit is
further intensified, no don't, because
so excellent a Democrat and citizen
as Mr.. Clements has been hOnored
by his party to the extent of being
elevated to the position of National
Committeeman from West Virginia.
But what a blast we may expect to
see in the next issue of the Eagle,
since Mr.. Clements has so generous
ly rendered this very same private
car to carry the Republican bosses
to the Chicago convention Such
terrible corruption of Republican
morals is simply awful, especially
when it is considered how very sus-
eeptable they are to temptation

wars that labor is compelled 70 wage

The SINEws OF WAR.-The Amer
lean Protective Tariff League is OBJ
tanning subscriptions to its funds
from the beneficiaries Of the exist
ing high tariff, the sum called for
from each subscriber being 500.
Trusts and other such combines are
contributing most literally. The
fund already raised is considerable,
and it is expected to exceed a mill
ion dollars before the election oc-
ours. The ostensible purpose of the
League is to prin. and distribute
protection literature, but it is ex-
pected to go into practical politics
also. 1t will be recalled how MIR.
VIM. r. Morrison, of Illinois,
was defeated for Congress by a
stealthy movement led by Mr.. Jar
rett two years ago, and how Mr.
Carlisle was similarly plotted
against. The Democrats have this,
of course, to expect. 1t is for them
to organize also, and to circulate in
structive low tax literature among
the people. The truth is mighty
and will prevail, if it is given q
chance.-BaltO. SuR.-

The n. Y. Tribune prints an IN
terview with Bob IngersOll at Chi
csgo. He says;
Take a ton Of iron ore in the
ground and it is worth one cent ;;
three tons of coal in the mine are
worth three cents; ton of lime
stone in the quarry is worth cent;
put these together and make a ton
of Bessemer steel and you have
something that is worth $50, and
500. so of that is labor.

$29.95, why is 1t Carnegies, the 10

Tell TAXATION,


In all governments, at all times, has
been a matter OF serious concern. AS
to taxes in general Adam Smith lays
down four maxims which have been
briefly described as the maxims of
EQUALITY, CERTAINTY, CONVENIENCE
and ECONOMY.
The same author says: "The subjects
"of every State ought to contribute to-
"wards the support of its government
"as nearly as possible in proportion to
"their respective abilities, that is, in
proportion to the revenue which they
respectively enjoy under the protection
"of the State"
Inequality in taxation is surely a
great wrong; and this is the great OBJ
lection to protective tariff. Underit
a few citizens make while the others
lose. The object is, under protection,
to burden the mass of the people and
increase the gains of the favored few.
