There is grave reason to believe that
the registration officials in the Repub-
lican counties intend to look up and put
on the voters list every Republican voter
while letting the Democratic voter look
after himself in the hope that he will not
take the trouble to insist that he shall
have right to vote this time. Let every
Democrat look to it that he does not lose
his vote. Unless he knows that he has
been put on the voters list, let him go to
the polls prepared to make the affidavit
that will put him on. His precinct com
mItteeman will see that he has every
possible facility for doing this with the
least possible trouble.

The address of Mr.. Barton was on all
sides pronounced able and eloquent. He
quoted the highest tributes to Lee and
Jackson, and, aligning himself with Gen.
Lees great watchword, Duty" made
an especial theme of the Confederate SOL
dier's duty to his State, which melted
him. aside from all other considerations,
to omptly and periodically respond to
her call to arms, knowing in this not only
that he believed he was right, but that
he was essentially and unqualfedly right
in yielding paramount supreme allegiance
to his State.
The outpouring OF people from all d.
rections was immense. and competent
Judges assert that there was here on Sat
urday the largest attendance we have
had at any Memorial Day observance
for years.
The ladies of Lawson Bolts Chapter.
Daughters of the Confederacy. deserve
great praise for the decoration of each
grave of a Confederate soldier with a
beautiful wreath and Confederate flag
and the handsome floral decorations of
the soldiers monument. The young la
dies of Stephenson Seminary placed a
very pretty wreath upon the soldiers
monument, and the members of the Cit
liens Fire Company placed on the grave
of Capt. John w. Russell, in the Episco-
pal graveyard, beautiful floral chair of
carnations, roses and ferns, bearing in
floral letters the words. Our Captain"

Winchester and Washington Electric
Railway Company.

In pursuance of IFS policy of aggressive
Electric Railway Company, at a meeting
of the board of directors held in Winches-
ter yesterday afternoon. elected Mr.. N,
Wilson Davis, of Harrisonburg, Va, as
the resident engineer. Mr.. DAVIS will
take charge at once. He will be in full
control of the work of erecting the COM
pany's big power plant, and his duties
will not terminate until the plant is COM
pleted and in operation.
A member of the board of directors
said today that the location of the power
plant. from which electric power will be
generated and furnished to the towns in
this part of the country. has not been def
nitely determined upon. The plant will,
however, be located on the Shenandoah
river. at point to be selected little lat
er, either in Clarke or Jefferson counties.
1t was stated today that the specifca-
tions for the building of the power plant
will be ready for the contractors by the
middle of June. As soon as all bids for
the work are in the directors will award
the contract. and as soon thereafter as
possible the work on the power plant
will begin. The sphere of usefulness of
the Winchester and Washington Electric
Railway Company includes: electric
street lighting. furnishing electric power
to manufacturing plants and the construc-
ton and operation of trolley road that
will connect Winchester with Washing
ton. 1t seems to be generally accepted
that the company will secure the fran
chise to furnish electric street lighting to
the city of Winchester. They are also to
furnish electric lights to Berryville and
other towns. In addition to this, the
current that the company will put into
Winchester, Berryville,- Charles Town
and other nearby places will revolutionize
manufacturing in this part of the State.

In ten years State appropriations have
increased from $65o,ooo to $I,s75, 600
per year. There is no reason to believe
that this rate of increase will not be kept
up in the future. While the expenditures
continue at this rate there can be no pos
sible reduction in taxes. The only way
to reduce taxes is to cut off wasteful and
unnecessary expenses. The only way to
do this is to vote against the people who,
having brought about this state of waste
ful extravaganza, have passed new laws
in the name of tax-reform to get still
more taxes to meet the enormous expen-
ditures for which they alone are respon-
sible. They are repre- scented by Dawson.
Lakin & Co. A vote against Lakin on
next Tuesday will be protest against
reckless expenditures and high taxes.
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1905-05-30

Republican committees are sending
out letters to their party men reminding
them how hard it was to gain this Con-
gressional district, and declaring that it
may be again lost unlesssevery Republi-
can votes for Lakin. This argument
would be just as good under one circun-
stance as another. 1t the people will for
this reason go on voting for the State
political machine now In the saddle it
will stay there forever. State appro-
priations that have jsmped in ten years
from $3.50, 900 to ST.. SIS, 900 per year will
go on increasing, taxes will get higher
and higher aud the farmer voter will
have only himself to blame And if he
will not believe that any set of politicians
will continue to spend money just as long
as the people will supply it he is not en-
titled to much sympathy. The only way
left to the voter to condemn measures is
to vote against the authors of them. A
vote for Col. Davis is a protest against
the new reassessment of real estate and
the other oppressive tax measures Of
which Dawson, Lakin & Co. are the ad-
yocates and authors.
