HARMONY!

As an evidence of the "hatmony"
which is prevalent in Preston among
the Republican factions the Chair
man and Secretary of the Republi-
can Executive Committee re-
fused TO certify to the list of dele
gates which had been selected by
Mr.. Lakin, because, il is alleged,
that Editor Lee Shaw, Of the Lead.
er, is among one Of the men chosen
as delegate. Chairman lanes w.
Flynn and Secretary II. S. Whetsell.
who is also editor of the Journal.
think that it would be entirely too
humiliating TO them TO extend the
olive branch TO Editor Shaw and
embrace him across the bloody
chasm ! They cannot forget or for
give Bro Shaw for the numerous
solar picks blows which he has civ.
en- them in the past. They have
evidently a poor memory of the
many soxdoligers they compliment
ed Bro. Shaw with while the battle
was raging. But Editor Shaw for
gave them in the interest Of harmony
ami in the hope that il they went 10
the Keyser convention as a harmon.
ious family that they would be able
TO nominate their favorite son, the
Hon. Jas. S Lakin. Unfortunately
Mr.. Lakin will be the man who will
suffer by the refusal of the Chairman
and Secretary to bury the hatchet
and remember that "1o err is hu.
man; to forgive, divine"
Many are moralizing and philoso
phizing on what effect this will have
on the factions hereafter. The con-
sensus of opinions, so far as we
have heard 1t expressed, is that the
faction which is lead by the Chair
man and Secretary will suffer by it,
inasmuch as it proves that the fac
ton opposed to Editor Shaw was not
sincere in processing that they were
willing to forget and forgive in the
interest OF harmonizing the factions.
This, one must say, is the logical
view when not viewed from a biased
or prejudiced standpoint.

The Journal reiterates the old
chest about The ARGUS not explain
ing that u cents levy under the
new tax laws, as it claims. We
called the Journal down on that time
and again during last campaign and
made our position plain enough for
blind man to see it, but none are so
blind as those who will not see and
don't want TO, and the taxpayers will
find out that the new assessment will
make the levy even more than u
cents as compared with the present
rate Of levy and assessment. The
assessment Of real estate this year
and IF personal property next year
under the true and scutal value
clause is and will increase TO from
three 90 six times what il is and has
been heretofore and even n the
levy is reduced, il will make a big
increase 90 the aggregate. Ask any
farmer or real estate owner, whose
property has been assessed by the
special tax commissioner for this
county, whether or not there is any
increase OF course this does not
take effect for taxation tll next
year. The assessment Of personal
property for this year is also the
same as heretofore or under the old
law but watch out next year for an
increase similar 20 the real estate
and then keep your eye on the
Sheriff when he calls for your tax.
