the nomination Is practically within
his grasp. he says he won't be the
Democratic candidate. He prefers to

run on an independent ticketiif he is
not nominated by the Democrats, so
our friends seem to be having trouble
aplenty in the Empire State. Jerome

him that the people are against the

Echoes from the Past.

The Preston County Journal is do
ing the Kingwood Argus very mean
trick. 1t is publishing some of the
dire predictions the Argus made in
1904 concerning the, tax laws. In the
light of what really happened some OIL
the "reminiscences are really amusing !.
we quote few:
The Republican new tax bill makes
the farmers pay their increased taxes
January /, 1905, and the CORPORATIONS
and railroads January 1, 1909 So
wrote Bill Layelle, the Democratic
boss and B. & o. r, R. train dispatch
er. I'm the Argus, Oct. 90, 1904.
This is not political fight, but a
fight to save your farms and house and
lot from being sold under the sher-
in's hammer-so wrote Nv. ]. Lavelle.
in the Argus, Oct. 20, 1904.
The farmers or iaboring men who
will believe the Journal and the Re-
publican speakers that the Dawson
tax laws will not double and triple
their taxes are easily fooled. Wait I'M
TN Won get your tax receipt from the
sheriff in 1905.-so wrote B. & o. train
dispatcher, W. ]. Lavelle, in the Ar.
gus, Nov. 8, 1904.
remember that the Republican par
ty is responsible for the increase Of
YOUR state tax from S5 cents to u
cents ON the 500 valuation.-so wrote
Bill Layelle. B. & o. train dispatcher
and Democratic boss and corporation
tool in the Argus, Oct. 20, 1904.
Don't you wish you belonged to the
corporations and railroad so you
would be exempt from taxation?-s
wrote w. j. Layelle, of B. g o. fame,
in the Argus, Oct. 81, 1904.
We'll, Billy Lavelle does belong to
the corporations and he along with
the other property of the B. & o. is
assessed is why he is kicking SO hard
The above clippings from the files
of the Argus are simply samples OF
the rot that appeared generally in an
ti.tax reform newspapers in 1904. Now,
all these papers, which are not COM
pIetely silenced, have again postponed
their calamity. The awful is to hap.
pen in 1908, according to them. Oh,
well, SO long as the catastrophe keeps
a couple of years ahead all the time
we need not worry much. --Wheeling

The Post partially answers Its own
question in the following comment on
the business conditions throughout
the country:
"Business Is still booming through

INCUBATOR CHICKS.
Theory as to the Cause of Mortality
In the Shell.

There seem to be wide and varied
opinions as to why chicks die in the
shell. Many claim, which is true in a
sense that the germ is weak, caused
by too close inbreeding. 1t is true also
that we find weak germs at times when
the parent stock is not related, writes
o. p. Scott in Western Poultry Journal.
Too close confinement, with little or
no exercise. or improper feeding will
also cause chicks to die In the shell. the
germ not being strong enough to with
stand the various changes during in
cubation.
The writer Is fully convinced after
many careful demonstrations that
while the above causes are partially
true the main cause is improper VEN
tilation, the chicks suffocatinS from
insufficient air. The ventilation of al
most all makes of incubators remains
practically the same from the beginning

the hen to produce eggs. In it we have

There is only one objection to green
