CLEAN
POLITICS

In politics, like in everything else,
there are men who believe success is
the goal and the end justihes resort
TO any sort of means to reach it.
Office or wealth is the star of their
ambition and 10 reach it they will
sacrifice friend, honor family,-all
TO taste its sweets. Great will be the
community. city, or commonwealth.
when the political office thief or
swindler will be made to feel the arm
Of the law the same as his brother
in crime
The man who accepts an office
through bribery, cheating or tneft, is
not fit to be trusted with it, and the
parties to the dirty work should be
equally yol<ed with him in crime
and shame. Tic reign of the polit
cal boss is almost at an end, for
when the candidates for office are
requested to show how every dol
lar in a campaign used to bring
about their election,the law has shorn
him of his strength.
Such law can be looked for from
our next legislature

THE COMING
PRIMARY

II is only a month now before the
primary elction will be held in this
county which will decide the next Of
ficers of Washington county
Up to this time we have not heard
a candidate for the legislature express
himself eithert through the press or
in a public speech, his position on
any question that may be expected
to come up before that body for his
vote.
It seems as though they are all
running on the popularity platform
and are trusting their chances to
this alone to win We think it is
but fair to the voters of the county
that each candidate should let them
know the legislation they favor or
oppose. that the voters can intelli-
gently select their choice.

Says 1t Helps Many Ways.

Speaking from over Is years
almost continuous experience as
a local newspaper correspondent,
the writer wants to advise all the
teachers now entering upon the
years work in a country district
or town without a paper, that
they cannot find a more pleasant,
useful, helpful. harmless, profit
able avocation mot vocation) or
diversion, than in corresponding
regularly for some local or coun-
ty paper. To teachers let me
say: 1t will sharpen all your
senses. 1t will increase your in
terest in your community and
mankind 1t will change your
current knowledge from hazy
impressions to definite certainty
1t will help you to hunt for and
to see and to commend the good
in your neighborhood, and to
fight the evil, to ignore idle Cos
sip and to dismiss the vile and
trivial from your mind. 1t viii
teach you more about spelling,
grammar, capitalization and
punctuation than ever you learned
at school. It will be a better
drill in rhetoric than high school
or college ever gave you. 1t will
ground you in local history and
local government, andeven geog
raphy, on which the general
science of these branches is bas-
ed. The publishers will gladly
give you stamps and paper, but
it will be money in your pocket
if you paid for the privilege of
writing the local news.-Russel
Cor. Luray Herald.

The world today looks more
upon the man than upon his title.
Titles are tags. There is never
real assurance that the tag is on
the right collar. That is why a
mans name should stand for
more than some empty handle
that is given by d Second-claSS
college or a too liberal society
for the promotion of celebrities.
Once it was popular to write
Esquire" on the envelope after
the name of the man addressed.
True, this was misused by those
who did not know when to apply
it, but it was general use. Where
is it today? In diSfavor. Now
comes a few editors who are
placing the ban upon the use of
the word Honorable" as applied
to the cognomen of a man. 1t is
reasonable that all men are hon
orable.' or should be. Why in
sinuate they are not by address
ing a few as distinctly so? Will
liam Allen White, for instance,
has barred the word Honorable"
in the sense above considered,
from the columns in his news
paper He is worthy of emuls =
ton in this. Let US do away
with titles. If man does some
thing worth while, his name will
carry just as far without a
caudal appendage or a prefix.
Let the goodness and the great
ness of the individual make his
name great and relegate the title
to the scrap heap along with
Esquire" and other cast-off en-
cumbrances.- Western Publish

Taxation as II Win Be After This Year.

The Eldorado Republican thus
shows how the matter of taxation
will be handled after this year:
On and after January next the
state will have new tax law.
Under it's provisions all property
is to be assessed at it's true value
in money. A county assessor is
to be appointed by the county
commissioners and he is to re
ceive a salary of five dollars per
day for actual time at his official
duties By and with the con-
sent of the commissioners he ap-
poinAs his deputy assessor. The
law does not state how many
I deputies there shall be. These
are to receive three dollars per
day. These assessors are chosen
for period of two years. When
the county assessors go to work
next year they will be armed
with three heterogeneous that
will strike terror to the heart of
the man who has been in the
habit of getting off with light
assessment.
These heterogeneous are for
use in getting personal property
statements and they go right to
the point The property owner
will be required to swear that he
has turned in all of his property
at it's true value in money and
the swearing will be real, not an
informal sort of procedure that
has been in vogue for so many
years After swearing to his
Statement he puts himself in
such a position that anything
other than the truth will be per-
jury And the state gives the
county attorney bonus of S25
for securing convictions under
this law. The new law is far
reaching and will add millions of
dollars to the tax rolls. And the
penalty for lodging is fine and
imprisonment.
