The Blessed Rain.

Though a man seldom likes to be
aroused from his slumber Of night,
those who were awakened by the rain
last night We're really pleased. For
several weeks there has been n2 rain
of any note cnd nearly all the pasture
was ruined. The roads We're dusty and
many wells and springs We're dry. SO
the rain was welcomed. Many eX-
pressed themselves this morning that
they were willing to get wet just in
orde: to see it rain. The fall pasture
has heen helped 70 a great extent and
few more such showers will make
things look nice and green again.

.UNWELC0hIE
VISITORS
WE HAVE GAMBLERS ENOUGH OF
OUR OWN AND DO NOT DE-
SIRE THE PRESENCE
OF NEWCOMERS

For the past week Fairmont has had
an over-supply of gamblers. When
the Circuit Court convened at Clarks-
burg last week the gamblers of that
place were a little fearful Of the man
ner in which Judge Mason would deal
with them if they were indicted and
they thought it best to go to some
other city until after court. As a con
sequence many came to sFairmont and
Grafton was also visited by few.
Now that the grand jury has turned
in the indictments, those not caught"
are returning to their old stamping
ground.
Though the majority OF people are
opposed TO gambling and gamblers,
some OF them are spoken OF as de
cent" pectabIe' and white, while
others are dirty" 1t is generally
known that all places the size OF Fair
mont, and many smaller, have their
gamblers. While We have a few Of
the latter class, most of them in our
city belong to the better class. Though
his money, very few of them will hold
up q man ana ROD MN OF ms EalGdDleS
by force.
So much cannot be said, however,
of the visitors from our neighbOring
city whom we were forced to enter
tain for the past week. Too many Of
them belonged to the dirty" class.
With all due reverence to our sister
city's administration, it is fact that
more crime is committed there than
here. People are oftentimes held up
on the streets there and many houses
have been entered and valuabIes taken.
Whose fault it is we do not know. Yet
these persons can behave themselves,
for during the past week, when some
of them We're here, they had to be
content with playing their games and
taking their chances without trying to
rob and steal. Though we like to have
visitors. we would rather pick our
and we are glad to see these
board their trains and bid them fare
we'll.

CHAMBERLAIN FAVORED 1T.

In its desperate efforts to paeif,
taxDaye who are outspoken IL
their protests against the amount
they have had to pay over the
sheriff's counter during the last
two years. the Times exclaims,
"Why, don't you know that the
Lewis and Clark Fair appropria-
ton is responsible for it all !''
When it was urging the pas
sage of this appropriation bill two
years ago, the Times solemnly
assured the farmers Of this coun-
ty that ''on $500, COO appropri-
alton, of which $3.50, 900 would
be collected in 1904, and an equal
sum in 1905, the average that
each farmer would have to pay
would be $2.43 tor the two years,
or $I.21K each year."
Admitting the correctness of
these figures, it is evident that
the legislature did not lay a very
heavy. burden upon the farmers
of Benton county when it
passed the Lewis and Clark Fair
appropriation bill.
Nor, according to the resolu-
tions passed by the Democratic
State Convention at Portland last
Tuesday, have the people of this
state any reason to complain at
the amount of taxes imposed upon
them by the legislature of too3.
The Democratic convention COM
mended Governor Chamberlain
for his policy of economy. It
recognized the fact that the gov
ernor has the power to veto all
bills that do not meet with his
We do not call to
mind that the Democratic execu-
tive opposed any appropriation
bill that became a law. If he
failed to place his veto upon the
Lewis and Clark Fair bill, Gov
ernor Chamberlain must share
with the legislature the response
bility for that burden of 81. .2IH,
which is giving the Times SO
much concern.

THE PLATFORM.

Resolved, That we favor the permanent
betterment Of every highway in Benton
county, without regard to the political COM
plexion of the section to which it leads
or through viii ch it passes.
Resolved, That we favor the liberal but
intelligent exenditure of public money for
road Improvement, under competent super
vision, and limited to the employment of
such methods as will provide good roads
without imposing unnecessary burden on
the taxpayers
Resolved, Th,t we favor an administra-
tion Of county affairs which will render un-
necessary a gradual increase of the taxpay-
ers' burden from year to year at time
when the county is free from debt, and there
is no demand for heavy expenditure Of
county funds.
Resolved, That we favor az equal and
uniform system of taxation as prescribed by
the constitution and laws of this state and
condemn in most severe terms a policy
which discrlminates in favor OF one indi-
.yidual and against another.
Resolved, That we favor the strict atten-
tion Of every county officer to his duties pre-
scribed for him by law, and the faithful
observance of the obligations imposed by
