To the Farmer.

Republican committees are sending
out letters to their party men remind
ing them how hard it was to gain this
congressional district and declaring
that it may again be lost unless every
Republican votes for Lakin. This
argument would be just as good under
one circumstance as another. II the
people will for this reason go on 20
ting for the State political machine
now in the saddle it will stay there
forever. State appropriations that
have jumped from $650,000 to 81, $751;
900 per year in ten years will 90 on
increasing, taxes will get higher and
higher and the farmer will have only
himself to blame. And if he will not
believe that any set Of politicians will
continue to spend money just as long
as the people will supply it he is not
entitled to much sympathy.
The only way for the voter to con-
denim measures is to vote against the
authors of them. A vote for Colonel
Davis is a protest against the oppres-
sive tax measures Of which Dawson,
Lakin & Co. are the advocates and
authors.
When the laboring men of the towns
and cities feel that Legislative measures
injurious to them have been passed
they 90 to the polls and vote down
the men who passed them. Conse-
quently they get what they want.
Why is 1t the farmer never gets what
his interestsrequire? Simply because
he Will not take the time and trouble
to go to the polls. As long as be con-
tinues to do this he can expect to pay
the bulk of taxes.

The forty-ffth General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian Church
adjourned at Fort Worth, Texas, last
Friday. Moderator Plunkett declared
the convention dissolved at 5 80
o'clock, and at the same time called
the next session to meet at Greenville,
S. c., at II a m. on the third Tues
day in May, 1906. The discussion OF
the question of federation with other
branches of the church was long drawn
out, and when the end came, it was
as far from final settlement as at any
time during the debate which preced-
ed the vote. There is an irreconcila-
bic element in the church that force
fully manifested itself, which is op-
posed to federation, and there is an
element slightly stronger that favors
it, but neither side could muster the
necessary strength to settle the mat
ter definitely. The question, by a
vote of 90 to 81, was merely referred
back to its committee, to which were
added three more members The
committee was instructed to bring an
other plan of federation before the
next assembly.

TIE Board of public works Of West
Virginia Is now considering the val
uatlon OF the railroads OF the State
for purposes OF taxation. The report
of the board will be awaited with
some interest, to see whether railroad
property will be increased as other
property has been increased. The
farm lands of the State will be as
seSsed at from 20 to 100 per cent
higher than heretofore, and 1t is only
fam that the railroad property shall
be proportlonately increased.
We feel in our bones, however,
that the railroads won t be hurt much.

hadn't made up its mind long ago
what action it means to take
This hearing has been farce all

dominated the committee and they
will dictate the committed report.

A DISPATCH from Keyser to the
REGISTER Yesterday says:

a DISPATCH from Keyser to the
REGISTER yesterday says:
"a letter has been received at Col.
DavIs's headquarters here, written by
c. w. SwiSher, chairman of the Repub-
ican State Committee, and intended
for a Republican oflice-holder, assessing
him ten dollars 10 help elect Mr.. Lakin.
The writer states that he is assessing
each otfce-holder ten dollars for this
purpose, and that he will accept moth
ing less. The evident intention is to
try to buy the election. The letter was
mailed by mistake to K. a. Salmons,
county clerk of Putnam county, who is
a Democrat.
From the above it Is plainly to be
seen that the fat-frying process is in
active operation. 1t also looks as if
the Republicans are scared.

Before we issue another number of

Kent County Teachers Institute will
be with us. The coming together of
$50 teachers from all parts of the
county is an important event and
Smyrna should give them a cordial
welcome and extend to them "the keys
of the city" The coming together Of
any town, for outside of the money
put in circulation during their sojourn
here, the people of this vicinity who
avail themselves of the opportunity
are given an intellectual treat. The
day sessions are open free to all and it
will be well for all who can, to attend
these sessions and give the teachers
and instructors hearty encouragement
by their presence. Many thoughts
are given out during the day sessions
shat can be helpful and instructive TO
the audience as well as teachers. The
evening course of entertainments are
of class that no one can afford to
miss. Rarely is so much talent offered
in course so cheap as a dollar. Our
citizens should show their apprecia
tion of having the Institute here by
giving Superintendent Carroll hearty
support. The financial success of thu
day er3 a.uing course depends OF
the support given the evening enter
ta1nments. Crowd the Opera Hous,

That the mosquito carries germs is
How a we'll established fact and mas
much as the mosquito prevails largely
in this section, a malarial district, the
subject of the determination of the
mosquito as an interesting one. The
Morning News has the following to
say: "When the yellow fever made its
appearance in New Orleans last June
1t was decided that the way to combat
the plague was by attacking the mos
quitoes, and on that theory the agents
ef the Federal government went to
work. 1t was soon realized that the
mosquito idea was correct and the re-
suits achieved were surprising.
'fNow it is related that the present
outbreak in Havana was due to the
importation of New Orleans mos
quitoes to Cuba. Some electrical ap-
paratus was shipped from New Orleans
to the Cuban city and out of the pack
age many mosquitoes were seen to es-
cape. Two men in the building where
the package was opened were bitten
and in due time they we're seized with
yellow fever.
''For many years Havana was con.
sidered as menace 10 every city in
the United States having communica.
ton with Cuba. Now, however,
Havana can retort and file a complaint
against New Orleans When the I'm.
tied States had control of Havana the
mosquitoes were fought to finish ant
TerTO% fever was stamped out for many
years. And then it remained for this
country to send back to Havana pest
laden mosquitoes to revive yellow
fever in it's old breeding place. This
knowledge of the danger of mosquitoe,
is to be of value, and if the little
winged pests can be destroyed yellow
fever will be hard thing to spread
provided of course that necessary pre-
cautions as to cleanliness and SANITARY
regulations are continued without
abatement"
