Rarbed Wire in War.
nch3-6nno

One of the curious developments
of warfare in Cuba has been the
use of barbed wire by the Spaniards
on an extensive scale.
Weyler's famous trocha consist
ed of barbed wire fences, COM
manded by block houses. 1t was
Intellectual in checking the Cubans,
for the Spanish commander did
not have troops enough to man it
completely But there is no doubt
that, as chevaux de frise in front
of intrenchments held by an ade-
quate force of infantry and artil-
lery, these lines of tough, almost
invisible wire, with their ugly
barbs pointing in all directions,
are capable of giving an assaulting
army q good deal of trouble.
Anyone who has ever tried to
climb or crawl through a barbed
wire fence in the country. even in
the most leisurely manner, will
have a lively recollection of the
difficulty of the proceeding. When
there are three or four successive
lines of wire, with the muzzles of
a row of Mauser rifles grinning
behind them over earthworks, the
obstacle becomes formidable.

An Evasion of the Law.

The Commissioners of internal
revenue has held that receipts
used as checks to draw money
from banks are subject to the
stamp tax. It is said that several
banks in order to avoid the stamp
tax are accepting receipts for cash,
which according to the letter of the
law are exempt. The commission
er. however, has decided that I'M
der those circumstances. receipts
to all intents and purposes are
checks and therefore must be
stamped.

mason County Republican Hog
Combine.

The Gazette IN Its Erluay issue
labors hard to excuse the County
Court for its action in making the
Gazette a present of $3.50. This
gift, if it came out of the pockets
of the men who compose the
County Court, or out of the pockets
of any number of men calling
themselves Republicans, on ac-
count of their desire to aid a Re
publican paper, would be all right.
But it must not be forgotten that
this munifcent gift comes off of
the Taxpayers. And it should not
be forgotten that the County
Court is the agent for the whole
people of the county, charged by
law and the oath of Office, to con-
serve the best interest of all the
people. Notwithstanding the per-
sonel of the Court is Republican,
the Court has no law, no justifica-
ton, to act as the agent for the
Republican party in this county
to the detriment of the entire tax
paving citizenship of the county
1t is the plain. legal duty of the
Court to save $3.50 to the county
fund. This the Court could have
done, for our bid for the Financial
Statement was 500. but the Ga
zette gets it for $3.50. The Ga
zette complains that we have here
tofore for several years received
1925 for this work and that we are
mad because of the Courts failure
to continue the arrangement here
tofore existing. In this regard
the Court and people of the county
got the benefit of the publication
in two papers for the same money
that it is proposed now to give the
Gazette. This was as it should be-;
for the Register and Gazette being
opposite in politics, and the Fin
ancial Statement thus printed, all
the people got it. Now it only
goes to part of the people-only
to the readers of the Gazette they
are all Republicans, and few in
number. A public sentiment needs
to be awakened against such bold
and careless expenditures of public
funds. The law compels the pub
LEGATION of the Financial State
ment. The only interest the tax
payers have in it is, that its cost
should be the lowest possible. 1t
is of no interest to the people, and
should be of no interest TO the
Court whether it is published in a
Democrat, Republican or Populist
paper, (if the Court is only going
to use one paper. In this view
of it the Court, in common de-
cency, to the people. should
award it to the one who will do it
for the least money.

A few months ago when fam

$1.S5, we were told that it was a
natural consequence of the Re

day the farmer was reminded by
the Republican press of the great
benefits he was receiving from the
Republican administration and the
single gold standard. Now that
wheat has come down to 65 cents
and that too, with a war on hand.
we hear nothing about the admin
istration and the single gold
standard being responsible for the
price of wheat. 1t is only when
the price is high that they take
