that they are being overworked this
hot weather, Then the President
rebelled and put the matter up to
the new Secretary OF the Navy.
Thus Secretary Bonaparte's first
trouble commences.
The complaint of the Navy Yard
employees is that they were prom.
ised a half holiday on Saturday
along with the other government
employees. This was granted them
on the condition that the work at
the yard was in such shape that the
services of the men could be dis.
pensed without hampering the other
departments that were waiting on
the gun work at the yard for arm
ing the new warships. The Secre-
tary of the Navy claims that he
cannot release the men and they
have now appealed second time to
the President while the legal ma
chinery OF their organization has
been set in motion to see if they
cannot compel holiday by law.
The Government Printing ONCE
investigation promises to devel-
op one Of the biggest advertising
schemes since the march OF Coxey's
army from CoNey's Ohio stone
quarry. It seems hard for the gov
ernment to render a decision in the
case without advertising one ~
the other of the companies to an
unheard of extent. The trouble
was originally over contract
for the purchase of seventy-two
typc-setting machines. The Public
Printer bought one sort and the
rival company came into the field
and forced an investigation as to
the legality of the contract.
A government commission was
called and they heard expert wit
nesses to a great length. 1t devel-
opcd further that the trouble grew
out OF friction and jealousy between
Public Printer Palmer and Foreman
Ricketts, of the big print shop. Now
the report of the commission has
been placed in the hands Of the
government and the question is
what to do with it. II the contract
is upheld, one af the companies in
volved will hail II as government
endor ement Tor their machine. If
the contract is annulcd, the other
company will tout its machine as
the only real thing among type.

the government will grasp is an in

COMES TO IT'S RESCUE.

The ARGUS is pleased to note
that the Fairmont West Virginian
has so gracefully come to the rescue
of the Preston County Journal.
There was a time in Preston county
when the teachings OF the Journal
was accepted by the faithful as the
gospel truth. But that day has
passed never to return. The Re-
publicans of Preston are doing their
own thinking just now, and when
the Republicans OF Preston think il
is a source Of great annoyance to-
the Journal Itis possible that the
West Nirginian is laboring under
the hallucination that the Republi-
cans OF Preston are still under the
influence OF the Machine and that
it can make them accept its asser-
tons as facts. 1t would be well for
the West Nirginian to pay visit to
Preston and get acquainted with the
Republicans. 1t has already had
an Introduction 10 Senator Samuel
B. Montgomery and Leader Shaw
and if reports be true it is not seek
ing further introduction to the
stalwart Republicans Of Preston. 1t
has learned that the buckwheat pco.
pie are no longer worshiping a, the
shrine Of the Machine, but on the
other hand they are administering
some Of the severest jolts to the
Machine Of any Republicans IN the
state, and from present indications
they are not going to hois, the white
flag and sue for peace.

veracity is not such that it could be

and the West Virginian will pardon
THE ARGUS when it refuses to ac-

Priated by the recent investigating
Legis lature.
The people have learned Of the
enormous increase in state expendi
lures and they are satisfedthat such
extravagant squsndering OF the peo-
pies money was the cause Of the
new tax laws. There must be a
cause for every effect, and in the
new tax laws we find the cause to

pie.
