Secretary J.. A. Meeker is enthus.
iastic over the amusement feature of

the art. The attraction is something
similar to the trick house trio, only 1t
excels this performance. Fun at the
Mill will be produced every day at the
fair. Mr.. Meeker demanded a forfeit
| Of the management Of this attraction
which will guarantee their appear
ance here.

CROWDS AT HEARING
OF MRS. HARRIS
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1905-04-20
EDITOR wHRrsELL WANTS TO
ADVISE ASSESSORS.

In the last issue of the Journal
Editor Whetsell refers To what he
calls 1.-The Marsden Leases" and
makes the break and blunder OF
chasing them with coal options, oil
leases, etc, as personal property.
Now this "Marsden Lease" is not a
LEASE" but deed, and not taxa
BILE under the class Of oil leases and
coal options. But we would ask
why, Mr.. Editor, do you mention
the Marsden holdings alone ? Why
did you not refer to certain indi-
vidual of Preston who holds $40. 900
worth of County orders, and don't
pay taxes on ihem2 Why did you
not mention the coal options held
by y0Nr IyItHdS on the mountain,
covering several thousand acres of
coal in Preston ? Why did you not
refer To your allies in Kingwood who
also have held coal options on 8, 600
to 5000 acres Of coal for the past
three years and not paying taxes on
them, and why did you not call at
tention TO host of other property
not taxed We'll just why did you
get interested in this particular pro
perry and fail to look around you ?
However, this is Characteristic for
our dear Mr.. Editor TO be partial
and not go to the bottom of matters
-ShaIloW-is the word. Better
get busy in your own business and
keep your proboscis out of other
peoples business. The assessor can
distinguish farm from a hay stack
without your untimely and unsought
for advice. COMMUNICATED.

STANDING rAr OK PREJUDICE.

1t must be a source of annoyance
to the Journal To be learning every
day, which it is, that the Republi
cans of Preston, who are reading
! and doing their own thinking, will
not "stand pat" on the Journals
P0IiIicdI [rIHGiee Heretofore the
Journal has been eminently success
tul in holding the Republicans in
line to "vote it straight from Presi.
dent to Unstable" but its personal
abuse and political prejudice will
have no weight with the intelligent
Republicans hereafter. They realize
that the J 'u-nals foaming and hiss
ing is for the purpose of holding
fast to its political Office and to re
tain those in power whom il serves.
But the people, irrespective of polit-
ical affiliations, are vastly more in
terested in the subject Of equal tax
alton than they are in the men who
are TO fill the political Offices. What
we want is honest and equal taxa
ton. The people have learned
from sad experience that they can.
not hope to get any relief from the
Republicans who have control of
the Republican machinery of the
State of West Virginia. They care
nothing for the common people.
They could not, if they would, serve
two masters. They have chosen the
money power in preference to the
common people. The Journal can
deny this, but it cannot sustain its
denial by facts. What the people
have gotten from the Republican
machinery of this State has been
wrung from them. Every foot of
ground has been stubbornly contest
ed by them, and when they were
compelled to grant a few cUnces-
sions those holding the fat Office
threatened to resign. Can the Jour
nal refute this
No, the people are going to ex-
pertinent a little on the non-partisan
basis for while and see il they can
not better their condition. This will
not suit the politicians, of course,
but that which suits the politicians
is not calculated to benefit the com
mon Deonle.

The new assessment law makes
the county assessor also the sheriff
in the collection Of a part of the
taxes. OF course that part of the
law is without warrant and is uncon-
stitutional, says the Parkersburg
Sentinel, as the sheriff is the only
officer clothed with legal authority
to collect state taxes. And if the
assessor were to conclude not to
pay over such poll taxes as are paid
to him, there is no legal way whereby
his bond would be snswerable for
sucn delinquency.

1t seems like Kingwood has a hard
time with her electric light plant.
A new dynamo was contracted for
three months ago and was to be in.
stalled inside Of thirty days by the
Westinghouse Company Of Pitts
burg and paid for cash down. Their
agent was here three or four times
after the contract and then when he
got it, they delayed so long ship
ping the dynamo that a member OF
the Council had TO go 10 Pittsburg
after It and then the railroad los,
part Of it some where on the road
and when the Companys man came
here week ago to install IL, he
found part Of the shipment missing
and has waited here ever since, while

find the lost parts.

If Col. Stalliugs, Of Old Dan
Tucker County, can induce Jeff
Lipscomb to feast on ramps for a
few days previous to the Conven-
ton, we will wager our Billy Bryan
hat that no one can remain in the
convention hall to oppose his nom
nation when they they get few
whiffs of Jef's ramps. If the Col.
is wise he will adopt our suggestion.
A person can survive three days
without water; fifty days without
food but no one can live one min
ute after Whit of Jeff's ramps.
