BAD PLACE TO SPEND MONEY.

pleasant spot by the sea, and all

the young man in question.
1t seems that he was of a DISPOSE
ton that might be called clinging,
at least in regard to money; in plain
English he was stingy. It was a
surprise to the natives Of his town
when he decided to separate himself
from enough coin to take in Atlantic
City. lie did, however, and was
gone for several days. On his re-
turn the usual questions we're asked

TO WHOM ~ NAY CONCERN.

II the bushwhacker who writes
for the. Journal and signs himself
"Republican," will come out over
his signature and make his 500 pro-
position that he has been ranting
around about We will take him up
mighty quick. We say positively
that the same property in Preston
county that paid taxes in 1904 will
pay more in 1906 and we back it up
with SIoo and dare this night owl,
who ever he is, TO come up to the
rack. Once more we repeat that
Preston county will pay more taxes
in 1906 than she did in 1904. We
know very well and Republican"
knows very well, that nearly all the
coal land in the county does not
now belong to the farmers but will
be taxed next year to other parties
and here is loop-hole to crawl out.
He keeps repeating that "phe farm
ers of Preston county will pay less
taxes on their land in 1906 than in
1904" We admit that if a man
only owns half or one third as much
property next year as he did last
year that his taxes should be less
and if he owns no property at all,
he should not have to pay any pro-
perty taxes etc. Now Mr.. "Repub-
lican" come out of your lair and let
the light shine on your mangey car

GET OFF THE COMMITTEES.

1t seems to be the unanimous
opinion in West Virginia outside of
the gentlemen who have the places,
that all officeholders must get off of
all committees. 1t is said that these
gentlemen are willing 10 retire but
they do not propose to be forced off.
The alacrity with which they have
separated themselves in the past
from the executive committees when
there was an Office in sight or one to
be held to, is complete evidence of
what they are willing TO do now.
Yes, indeedl-State Journal.
THE ARGUS is pleased to note that
Bro. Morris, whose stalwart Repub-
licanism cannot be questioned, has
joined the army of honest Republi-
cans who believe that the Committee
has controlled the destinies of the
Republican party long enough. AS
we pointed out in former editorial,
the honest Republicans Of West Vir-
ginia can never hope to wrest the
party organization from the Ma
chine so long as the Committee is
composed of the officeholders. Had
it not been that the Machine had
full control of the State Executive
Committee Col. Chas. f. Teter
would have been nominated by the
Wheeling convention instead of
Dawson.
Keep after them, Bro. Morris, the
army is increasing every day.

A recent compilation of the re-
cords of Fairfax county gives in =.
tcresting data relative to the wealth
of George Washington.
Washington inherited Mount Yer
non from his brother Lawrence in
1852, but did not commence TO re-
side there until 1859, at the age of
~ years. At that time he owned
in Virginia and other States so, los
acres of land besides several thou
sand acres in Fairfax county. The
magnitude of his farming operations
In 1887 can be imagined from the
fact that he had $50 acres in grass,
400 acres in oats, 100 in wheat and
100 acres in barley, buckwheat and
other cereals. He owned 14o
horses, ia cows, 226 oxen 500
sheep and large number of hogs.
He employed $50 negro hands.
In 1880 the records show that he
slaughtered $50 hogs for use of his
family and wants.

slathers and barrels and loads of

rot that is being poured out upon
the heads Of the hapless people of
this country about the great thing
the President has done, would turn
the stomach of a turkey buzzard.
The President well may say: can

from my fool friends. The Presi-
dent simply asked Russia and Japan
to come over here and get together
and see if they could not patch up
peace. There never would have
been peace, and all the efforts Of the
President would have been in vain,
II Japan had not seen that to contin-
ne the war simply because Russia
would not pay an indemnity, would
have lost her all the prestige she had
gained with her great victories, be-
cause she would have been placed
in the attitude Of fighting for blood
money and the world would have
pointed the finger Of scorn at her.
Knowing this she quit and not be-
cause the President asked her to do
so, but because she had the good
sense to see the point. Give the
President his due, but do not slob-
Der on him and the people.

THE REAL STUFF.

The Fayette county assessors have
completed the personal property as
sessments for the year. They found
SIS coal leases to assess and valued
them at something less than 81, 500
each, making the total for the county
a little under $75,o 900. Calling it
SIS, 900 for convenience, we find
that the coal leases of the great coal
producing county will bring into the
State treasury for the present year
the princely sum of $3.50. Verify
the tax takers are the stuff. FAIR
mont Times.
The Journal was so jubilant over
the "tax leases" that it made haste
to tell the farmers that it would
place on the assessrs' books some
$500, 900, 900 to $500, 900 900. 1t
was "cock sure" that these "tax
leases" would relieve the farmers
from paying but a very small per
cent. of the taxes. When it was
shown that the tax leases would not
amount to SIo, 900, 600 the Journal
got "busY" and did not have the
time or inclination to discuss the
tax leases. Slowly but surely it's
