o'clock. This will be the only set
speech he will make in West Vir-

dozens of shorter but equally elo-
quent ones during his visit to the

a crowd as will surprise the peo-
pie. In many respects Mr.. Bryan
has no equal in American politics.
In his power to sway audiences,
to inspire the people and to con-
vince he is undoubtedly the great

which did not in the least interfere
with the worshipers' belief in hi:

The second young man said:

The Wheeling News says in sub
stance that the oil in the iron
tanks at Warrington and else
where in this State. in which oil
is stored will be taxed under the
new laws. The News editor is
either ignorant or else he is a gil
gantic fabricator. Every man
knows the oil in the big iron stor-
age tanks is oil that is being run
in pipe lines. The pipe line con-
veying this oil is simply "com-
mon carrier" If the oil tank
burns and the oil in it is consum-
ed by fire, every producer loses a
per cent of the oil he may own in
the line. So who could the oil
be taxed to? Not the Standard
Oil company, for that company
doesn't own it yet. No producer
on earth could say whether his oil
in the. line unsold was in that
tank or whether in the tank or
not. 1t is simply oil being convey
ed to refneries out of the State,
To attempt to tax it would be
sheer nonsense. Any man living
in the oil fields knows this is
true. The News editor doesn't

The Spit Snake.

There is Il snake belonging to the

ejecting its venom to short distance.
This snake is called by the Dutch
Beers SPUN slang" or spit snake.
When this snake erects its teeth the
pressure of the maxillary bone on the
gland causes the venom to flow in
drops. and it may be quite possible that
by discharging air from its mouth the
poison may be blown some distance.

We have been presented with a

y We have been presented with a
pamphlet issued by the Republ-
can State Executive committee
which has been compiled in the
nature of a discussion of the State
tax issue. From their standpoint
it may be considered a very able
discussion of the subject. The lit
tie book consists of 80 pages.
Quite enough in which to say
something to prove its assertions
But in this respect 1t IS derellct
to a surprising degree. The book
is a mass of irreconcilable lncon-
sistencies, confined exclusively to
unsupported and unprovable
statements without a single TACT
in the way of evidence introduced
TO maintain it's declarations. The
book in question is alleged to be
nothing else than a discussion OF
the State tax laws. Its title IS
"The Truth About the New Tax
Legislation," but there ism t real
truth about the subject in it. Not
withstanding its pretense there IS
not anywhere within It's 81 pages
a single section, paragraph or SEN
tence from either one of the new
tax laws. In discussing so impor-
tant subject as the new tax laws
what could be Of greater value as
evidence, what could be so valua-
bile as the laws themselves! The
people are not fools, they can
read a law and they can under
stand it, too; therefore, why not
print the laws and let the people
see lust what they are? The an
swer is plain enough, and it lies
in the fact that, if the laws were
printed in these books, their read
ers would learn that which the
Republicans are particularly anx-
ious they shall not know, to-wlt:
lust what the laws are and just
what will be done to the prop
erty owners when the new Tax
commissioner begins his work.
Every voter should get this book
and read it, and learn for them
selves how carefully every line,
sentence, paragraph and section
of the new tax laws are kept out
of it and from them. They are
afraid to publish the tax laws,
because their publication would
give to the Republican voters the
information that is desired to be
kept from them. 1t is the truth
that must be avoided in this case,
because in this matter it is the
truth that will hurt.

ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.

On May > the electors of school dis
triCt Nc. l will meet to ansaC the
business required of them by law. Ii
is in many respects the most import
ant meeting held in this city during
the entire year. More money is voted
at this meeting than at any other and
matters pertaining to the welfare o!
the children. the future men and wO-
men of the district are considered. At
this meeting are elected the men upon
whom will devolve the responsibility
of executing the laws. employing the
teachers. expanding the money and
looking after the general welfare Of
the schools.
The year just coming to a close has
been a very successful one. Our
schools have been maintained at a
high standard of excellence. very little
friction has occurred in their manage
ment and the pupils have made rapid
progress in their studies. While all
the teachers have been treated in a
broad-gauged liberal manner. economy
has been exercised in the handling OF
the peoples money. A comparison
with the expenditure for school pur-
poses in the city of Denver shows that
it costs the people there two dollars to
our one. In round numbers. it costs
Denver $40 per annum per pupil, while
i; costs Laramie just about half that
amount.
Such a condition can only be main
tanned by eleCting to the board hon,
orahle and energetic citizens. The
members serve without compensation
other than the thanks of the taxpayers
and the peace of mind that comes TO
the man who performs public duties in
accordance with the dictates of con
science. hence it is of great Importance
that the matter should be carefully
Canvassed and wise selection made
Two members are elected every year to
serve three years. This year the terms
of D rector Otto Gramm and Secretary
E D Carter expire. They have been
exceptionally competent members OF
the board and by their long service
have become familiar with all the de.
tails of the duties of members. If they
will consent to again serve the taXpay-
ers in this capacity. The Republican
believes no better choice could be
made.
The names of these honorable and
faithful public servants are again pre-
scented for the earnest consideration O.
