PROCLAMATION.

theodore Roosevelt, the Presi-
dent of the United States Of Ameri-
ca, having set apart Thursday, the
thirtieth day of this month, as a
day of thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future" there
fore, l, William NJ. o. Dawson,
the Governor of the State of West
Virginia, do hereby proclaim the
said Thanksgiving Day a legal holt
day throughout the said State.
In his proclamation setting apart
this day the President says:
"When, nearly three centuries
ago, the first settlers came to the
country which has now become this
great republic, they fronted not
only hardship and privation, but
terrible risk to their lives. In those
grim years the custom grew of set =
ting apart one day in each year for
a special service Of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the peo-
pie through the changing seasons.
The custom has now become ma
tional and hallowed by immemorial
usage. We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our forefathers,
men who with rugged strength faced
rugged days, and yet the dangers
to national life ore quite as great
now as at any previous time in our
history. 1t is eminently fitting that
once year our people should set
apart day Of praise and thanks.
giving to the Giver of Good, and at
the same time that express their
thankfulness for the abundant mer.
cies received. should manfully ac-
knowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in
good faith to strive to overcome
them. During the past year we
have been blessed with bountiful
crops. Our business prosperity has
been great. No other people has
ever stood on level of material
well being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from
without. The foes from whom we
should pray to be delivered are our
own passions, appetites and follies,
and against these there is always
need that we should war. There
fore, | now set apart Thursday, the
thlrtieth day of this November, as
a day of thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future, and on
that day l aske that throughout the
land the people gather In their
homes and places of worship, and
in rendering thanks unto the Most
High for the manifold blessings of
the past year, consecrate themselves
to a life of cleanliess, honor and
wisdom, so that this nation may do
its allotted work on earth in a man
ner to honor those preserved it,"
To the wise, strong and patriotic
words of our beloved President lit
tie or nothing need be added A
special cause for thanks to God is
that we are blessed in having for
our Chief Magistrate a man of such
high honor, strong courage and
great wisdom.
Given under my hand and Great
Seal of the State, at the Capitol, in
the City of Charleston, this fourth
day of November, in the year of

TWAS a GLORIOUS VICTORY.

The greatest victory which the
Honest People have achieved for
years was won on Nov. 7. In every
State and city where an election was
held the people triumphed over the
political Machines and grafters.
There is no political significance
attached to the victory of the PEG.
pie. The people threw politics to
the -four winds and went after the
Machines and grafters with the old
fashioned hickory clubs. That they
welded the clubs most effectively
the grafters can testify. The graf
tiers are lying helplessly on the
ground and they know who struck
them This should be a warning to
the West Virginia Machine and the
Preston county Ring. Will they
heed it and stop interfering with the
Peoples business If they do not
they must suffer the consequence.
The people are determined to rele.
gate the Machine and the Ring to
the rear. Their partisan yelling
will not save them.
Look at this; Ohio, which gave
Roosevelt $50, 900 majority elects a
Democrat Governor. In Pennsyl.
vania, which gave Roosevelt 500, 900
majority elects a Democrat State
Treasurer by 1870 majority. No
one will claim that Pattison and
Berry were elected on account of a
change in political sentiment at this
time. 1t was all due to the corrupt
political Machines in those states.
They had been fooling the people
and carrying those states by appeal
ing to their political prejudice. The
Machines were robbing the people
and growing enormously rich. They
thought that there was no limit to
the old trick of appealing to politi-
cal partisanship. But the people
grew wise and got onto their old
game.

SAME OLD TRICK.

Wherever and whenever the or
gans of the tax thinkers discover any
reductions in taxes for 1905 in com
pariscn with 1904, they gleefully
proclaim that they are due to the
new tax laws. If taxes arc higher
they say the old laws and old valu-
ations are still in effect, and taxpay
ers will have to wait until next year
to see the benefits of "true and act
ual value" The fact is that 1908
taxes are levied and collected under
the old law, and il taxes are lower,
the old laws must be given credit
for any saving, outside of the slight
reduction in state taxes. Register.
This recalls to our memory a
similar trick of Gov. Dawson when
he was the editor of the Preston
County Journal. The county and
district taxes were unusually high
and the farmers were kicking vigor-
ously against it. 1t happened at
the time that the Democrats had
control of the State. The kicking
became so pronounced against the
high rate of county and district taxes
that Editor Dawson became fright.
eded. An idea struck him, and this
is the famous idea: He told the
farmers that the Democrats were re-
sponsible for the high taxes in Pres
ton county. 1t made no difference
that the Republicans had full con-
troll of every county and district of
fce In the county. Editor Dawson
argued that 1t made no difference if
the Republicans had control of the
finances of the county they could
not reduce the county and district
taxes as long as the Democrats had
control of the State. And strange
to say that this downright and IA
grant Misrepresentation was believed
by his party.
We recall this at the present time
to show that Dawson's political sue
cess is largely due to this kind of
Misrepresentation.
He is still at his old tricks, back
ed by the Machine. AS the Register
so truthfully points out, if the taxes
are higher IN 1905 the old tax law
is to blame, and if the taxes are
lower, the new tax law is the cause.
But the old trick is not going to
work this time. The people are
reading and thinking for themselves.
The farmers, be it said TO their
credit, are among the brightest men
In the State. Within the past two
years no set of taxpayers have studi-
ed the tax question so earnestly and
thoroughly as our farmer friends.
Neither Republican or Democratic
newspapers or stump speakers can
fool the farmers any longer on the
tax issue. And the newspaper and
stump speaker that attempts it is
going to suffer for any misrepresen-
tations they may make. We are
glad that such a state of affairs ex-
ist today. Any newspaper or can
didate that will treat the farmers
honestly and squarelY will get their
support. The farmers are honest
and believe, like President Roose-
welt, in ga square deal"
THE ARGUS would admonish all
candidates seeking public office to
not try to deceive the farmers.

The ARGUS has been after the
chairman of the Republican com.
mittee of this county and rubbing it
in on him rather strong, under the
impression that he was the author
OF the Republican" letters in the
Journal. Or at least that he was
party to these articles which have
been made up mostly with abuse of
The ARGUS and its editor and cor
respondents. The Journal of last
week denies that Major Flynn is the
author of this stuff and farther more
the gentleman himself informs rs
that he never wrote a line Of this
matter or anything else for the Jour
nal for long time, and that he
does not know who is the author
nor does not care, and that he has
not taken enough interest in the
matter to even read the most Of the
said articles or all Of anyone Of
them. AS we have no reason to
doubt the Majors statement we are
compelled to admit that we have
been after the wrong man and will
have to let up on him. The con.
troyersy has been so warm that we
made reflections on the gentleman
that should not have been made and
we regret that we have been wasting
our ammunition on the wrong party.

''UNDER THE SHADE OF THE OLD
PLUM TREE.o

There is a great scramble among
the Republican pie-hunters for the
fat and JUICY plum pudding now held
by Major Charles distributor"
Elliott of Parkersburg. His time
as United States Marshal for the
Northern District of West Virginia,
will be up next month and several
OF the boys want to try on the heavy
COW hide pedal protectors that have
stood the Major in such good stead
the past few years.
Among the list to date are Benja-
min Franklin Sayre. ex-Sheriff of
Taylor county, who has the best
backing of any of the crowd next to
the present incumbent, who has nine
points in his favor to start with.
Virgil Leonidas Highland of Clarks
burg comes next in the race and is
backed by a ring of grafters and pol
iticians, that initiate the Philadel-
phia gang in small way, that got it
in the neck so badly last week and
last and least of the quartette comes
another ex-Sheriff, the Hon. Stephen
CRATER Pyle of Tyler county. The
above quartette have been singing
"Under the Shade of the Old Plum
Tree" to Senator Elkins and it is
claimed that he leans toward Saver,
and that 1t is up to Nathan Bay. We
are betting on the Major. How.
ever, if change is made we believe
"Uncle Steve" will Sayer, as we do
not think these kind of plums will
fall on Highland, nor do we believe
they need any Pyle remedy.
