West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1905-12-07

proceedings of the Machine con-
ference held in Parkersburg short
time since.
The ARGUS is satisfied that the
people are with it on the tax issue.
Its circulation is constantly growing.
, The people don't support a news
paper thar advocates that which
they know to be detrimental to
: their interests.
"Watch your tax receipts" shouts
the Machine. That's what we are
going to march to the polls with the
: tax receipt in one hand and the
club in the other. There will be
no lodging or sidestepping the next
, time we swing the club.
, We are not hearing much now
: days about Chauncey NJ. Depew's
after dinner speeches, National
Honor" and Trustees Of God" are
also back numbers and these mot
toes have been turned to the wall at
Republican headquarters.
"
No paper in the State shows up
. the inequalities and inquities OF the
l Dawson tax laws better than the
. Wheeling Register. It's position
e has been unassailable and its argu-
ment incontrovertable. Keep after
the monster, Bro. Register.
S The yellow fever seems to have
: been cleaned up down in Louisiana
I and Mississippi and the Governor
of Mississippi now remarks to the
Governor of Louisiana that so far
as he is concerned it will be a long
time between yellow fevers.
5 We notice a member of the Smith
family, with an unpronounceable
given name, threatening to take Col.
Jake Snyder's Senatorial scalp. He
must he a constant reader of the
News and Intelligencer, otherwise
he would flee from Col. lake.
It's very unkind in Bro. George
Byrne to keep reminding Bro. La
mar Powell that while a member OF
, the Legislature he ''could not make
a motion without first committing it
to paper" That demonstrates that
d the pen is mightler than the tongue
6 with Bro. Powell.
The Wheeling Register publishes
column 'With State Editors"
which is both entertaining and in
It structive. 1t is the culling of the
II best thoughts of the country lads.
y The Register being an up to date
= daily itself recognizes a few gems
from its country cousins.

Auditor Scherr maybe right about
r. the irredescent dream" relative to
= an equal and uniform assessment,
= but if the Auditor will step over
here in Preston the farmers will
quickly inform him that they have
: passed the dreaming stage. They
- are wide awake to the fact that it is
e a fraud, which harsher word would
a add emphasis to.
Is It not a fact that the Republi-
s can party of Preston county has
n paid Horatio Seymour Whetsell five
Y thousand per cent interest on the
e work he has ever done for the party7
Is there an unbiased Republican IN
Preston today who will say that
Horatio has ever done anything to
help build up the Republican party7
We pause for an answer.
Since the Pennsylvania Machine
got such a wallopping Gov. Penny
packer has called the Legislature in
8 extra session to correct the evils
which caused the people to trounce
the Machine. After the election oil
1906 we may expect Gov. Dawson
y to 60 into the extraordinary session
business. The West Virginia Ma
}, chine is due for a trimming in 1906.
The comment Of the Journal on
TIE ARGUS editorial paragrsh to
wit Place principle and public
u veal above luore reminds Us very
much Of the false sylogism:
5t "The horse is an animal Man
Re is an animal"
r Ergo, man is a horse. Have you

D. comprehend or shall we have to ex
