HONESTY VS.. MAMMON.

1t has we'll been said that honesty
is the foundation OF all religion. II
a man is honest with himself, his
country, his fellow-man and his God
he can well say 1 can keep the tenets
of any religion.
1t has also we'll been said that
"money is the root of all evil" If
a man allow money to secure too
strong hold on him he will gradu-
ally become dishonest in his deal.
ings with his fellow-man and coun-
try, himself and his God.
Political Grafteis, Ring Rulers
and Machine men adore Mammon.
Hence il follows that they are not
true to those whom they are in duty
bound to serve. There are those
who know and try to expose this
and are thereupon branded as Insur-
gents. The Bosses by threats and
brides cause some to enter the tenn
pie of Mammon and worship. The
Insurgents through intelligence and
reason adore at the shrine of Hon
esty. To which class do you be-

TO BE ADMIRED.

We admire the bulldog tenacity
OF the Wheeling News in UNFOLDING
the Dawson tax laws and all their
infamy. 1t is co:k sure that the
Dawson tax laws will have every
specie of property assessed at its
"true and actual value"
We will give the News a specimen
of the "frue and actual value" as
Practiced in Preston county and we
ask for Its unbiased and unprejudic
ed decision.
Within the confines of Preston
county there is a coal tipple that
cost over $4,000 The assessor
failed to assess it until the farmers
entered a protest before the County
Court and the assessor then placed
II on the assessors books at Sig 900.
A farmer living close by had his
farm assessed under the old law for
$50 and under the new law this
same farm is assessed at 81, 500.
Now does the News suppose for
one second that the farmers of Pres
ton county are such idiots as to not
believe that the Dawson tax laws are
an injustice to themp Is this what
the News calls "true and actual
value ?"
The above assessments were taken
from the assessors books and they
are fair sample of how the far
mers "got it in the neck" in Preston
county. Still if we believe the News
the farmers are the ones who are to
be benefited by the Dawson tax laws.

MAN AND WOMAN TOGETHER CON.
STITUTE A COMPLETE BEING.
BY MRS. w. w. TRrMpLr

However generous men may be
in their feelings towards women, in
legislation and in every other thing,
their ideas. are ali masculine and
their efforts are all tinctured with
masculine ideals--it is an impossi-
bility of nature that it could be
otherwise. Man alone can no more
found State than a man alone can
found family. He has tried for
thousands years to achieve the
former and has failed. II he were
less vain these failuies would con-
vince him of the errors of his ways.
MAN and woman only jointly con-
stitute the complete being" and as
physiologicslly so in every other
thing, man alone is incomplete and
his efforts lead to incompleteness.
So long as the Republic of the
United States denies representation
to one half Of its people, none can
regard it as worthy of prescribing a
remedy for social ills, or rs being
consistent in demanding that other
governments live up to their pro.
misses, while il, itself, violates the
very promises upon which it is
founded and BASED.

ton, and in 1886 "The True Fun
damental Principles of Arithmetic. -
In 1887 he wrote and delivered in a
number of towns and cities his
famous lecture on 1.-The Monongahela
Valley" which was equally valuable
from a scientific or historical stand
point. In 1878 he began the prepar-
alton OF an elaborate text book on
Arithmetic, which remained incom-
plete at the time of his death. He
also had in preparation a text book
on "ortheopy, photography and ETY.
mology." From 1882 to 1887 he
devoted his spare time TO the produc-
tion of manuscript copy of His
tory of the United States. !" which.
however, was never placed in the
hands of a publisher.
In Wharton township Of Fayette
county, Pennsylvania, among whose
fair and healthful hills Mr.. Wiley
testified that "most freedom from
pain was secured, he married Ella
Wirsing, February II, 1880, and there
he had home until his death. Their
children were Earl, Victor H., (mar-
ried and living at Uniontown, Pa.
Eleanor (who died December 2s.
$780, Edna p, L. Ossa and James S.
Mr.. Wiley was a Master Mason,
an Encampment Odd FdelIow and a
Knight of the Golden Eagle. An
earnest reader and profound thinker,
he esteemed man-made creeds but
lightly, and while not church mem
Der, was never an atheist or infidel at
any time. On the contrary he early
inclined to the Presbyterian faith of
his Scotch-Irish ancestors, and later
became Baptist in religious belief.
Gifted with the ability to penetrate at
once to the core of things, however.
in early manhood he tested MANY
human institutions, like a geologist
with his hammer, and found them
hollow. He called no one to share
his discovery, but ever afterward
cared less for the worlds fashions,
methods and modes. In some things
he was extremely proud, and was
endowed with an iron will and de-
termined spirit that turned from no
opposition. Occasionally he relished
a dry joke in which no one was hurt or
injured and among intimate friends had
a well-deserved reputation as an able
recounter.
AS an example of his stlye permit
us to quote an extract from the in
PRODUCTION to biographical sketch
which Mr.. Wiley once wrote for a
friend. After tracing the Scotch
Irish race from its origin in Central
Asia, before the Christian era, to it's
home in the North of Ireland, he
| continues:
by persecution the FISHERMAN
was made ready for his mission in the
new world, where, settling on the
western frontier of the thirteen colo
MES, he became the Scotch Irishman
of history, so named from the dom
mating strain of his blood and the
land from which he had come. He
protected the settlement from the
Indians; he bore an important part in
the revolutionary struggle for indie
pendence, and he was mainly instru-
mental in winning all of the territory
of the United States north of the Ohio
and west of the Mississippi river.
The Scotch Irish is grand race,
whose great characteristics are in

faith. The Seotch-Irish have always
borne prominent and distinguished
part in the progress of the Union.
from its establishment down 10 the
present time, and being the first TO
start and the last to quit, can proud
ly say my past is my pledge to the
future. -
Mr.. Wiley. himself a worthy rep
resentatiye of the great race he thus
praises, died at sanatarium in Oil
City. Pennsylvania, on Friday night.
November 10, 1905, and was buried
with Masonic honors from his home at
WiBing, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday
afternoon, Novmber 10, at 2 O'Clock.
His span OF life, embracing the latter
half of the nineteenth century and the
opening years Of the twentieth in.
cluded the grandest period in human
history-a preiod standing preeminent
in the worlds annals as an era of
godlike achievement-an it is only
fair to record that in all this grand
and awful time Samuel T. Wiley
acquitted himself like a man. Yet
above his tomb we must sorrowfully
write; Sic Transit Gloria Mundi,' -
while we hopefully add, Sic itur ad
astra.
In concluding this brief sketch it
may not be out of place to add that
the Wileys of Scotland were very
numerous. One family had for it's
crest the brush of red fox; another's
crest was a rock surrounded by
flames; third crest was very nearly
like the seal of the United States
Postoffice department. OF those who
came to America and settled from
South Carolina to Pennsylvania, a
fair representation were physicians,
ministers, congressman, soldiers, law
yers and college professors and presi-
dents. They were largely Presby-
terians and Baptists, and in Scotland
some of the Wileys are said to have
signed with their own blood the COW
enant and league on the historic tomb
stone in Gray Friars graveyard.

Journal does not have the honesty
and decency to explain about the
change in the law which of course
prevented the claims Of THE ARGUS
from coming true this year. A pa

If mans taxes are higher this
year than last year, the Republican
ring and papers tell him it is not
the fault of the new tax law as that
is not in effect yet. But ifhis taxes
are lower they tell him it is all ow-
ing to the great blessings Of the new
tax law, so they catch him going
and coming. AS a matter Of fact
the taxes are little less in many
cases this year than last year since
the State tax is reduced fifteen cents
on the one hundred dollars valua-
ton Of property and the new valua-
ton does not go into effect till next
year. but all taxes are levied and
collected this year on the old valua-
