PREPARES
FOR FUTURE CRISIS
Directs British Attention to
Alleged German Ac-
tivity in Algiers.

LONDON, Dec 22.-France today
called the English governments atten-
tiCn to the alleged activity Of Germany
in stirring up deseTtions from the
French foreign legion IN Algeria
The foreign office is uncommunicative,
but from a good source il is learned
France submitted the testimony OF
Count Won RhOden, leader of the re-
cent mutiny and dcsertion of forty
German soldiers in Southern Orau.
that he acted under formal orders from
Germany. Won Rhoden is u close friend
of Prince Eitel, the KaiseT's second
son.
1t is impossible to learn whether the
French note commented on this teSti-
mOny. The action Of France, however,
Indicates that she considers the deser-
tons another Moroccan pin prick %
Sne Is deslriOus that England under
stand the situation so that in the

Bad Dreams.

One Of our sympathetic ex-
changes, in speaking about the
trials and tribulations of our old
friend Bill, remarks:
Between the Virginia debt and
a Legislature that won't legislate.
Gov. Dawson's sleep is nightly
disturbed these nights.
Bill is not the only one who is
afflicted with the hideous night
mare His followers and sup
porters in this county are about
TO surrender. 1t is freely pre-
dicted that no one who is identi.
fled with the Dawson machine
and the county ring can be nomi.
mated this year. Hundreds Of
Republicans in Preston who have
always been loyal in their SUD-
port Of the machine and the ring
no" openly declare that they will
not support the machine and ring
candidates at the primaries, and
% any Of them should be nomi.
mated they will not vote for them
at the general election. In years
gone by this would be considered
treason, but today it is declared
TO be the essence Of patriotism.
This is but a fair index Of the
sentiment Of Republicans all over
the state. They have just woke
up 70 the Get that they can lick
The machine md ring.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1908-02-27
Tail Wagelne the Dog.

The Republican press is at il
again. The Intelligencer is wrothy
because the nasty Democratic
members of the legislature are
preventing legislation at the extra
session by offering useless amend
ments to bills. Seeing that the
Republicans have two-thirds of
both branches and that the pre-
vious question is still available to
stop amendment or debate, il
seems that the Republicans are
very much over-matched by the
superior ability Of the few Demo
Gratis or that many Republicans
are helping in the delay that the
lntelligencer complains of. In
either case it will be very hard to
convince people who have sense
enough to go in the house when
it rains that the responsibility for
the uselessness and failure of the
extra session to accomplish any
thing of value to the state should
be borne by the Democrats.-Ex-
change.
The secret of the Intelligencer's
howl is this: II is conscious of the
fact that the Republican machine
will be defeated in the coming
election for the extravagant ex-
penditure of the peoples money
by fake tax laws and extra ses-
sions of the legislature. 1t would,
if it could, make the people be-
lieve that the Democrats are re-
sponsible for the misdeeds of the
Dawson machine. But it's howl
will be answered by the people by
landing the Dawson machine out
side the breastworks. The Intel
ligencer will deceive no one this
year. The people have already
made up their minds how they
are going to vote. Let the Intel
ligencer howl, it will amuse the
people.

How 1t Reduces Taxes.

The bill limiting county levies
to 30 cents on the 500 valuation
and municipal levies TO 40 cents
on the same valuation has been
passed. While much credit will
be demanded for the passage of
this bill, it does not help matters
in this county. A levy Of 80 cents
for county purposes on present
valuations represents the equiva-
lent of levy Of 40 on the old
valuations, or 10 cents more than
the then constitutional Limitation
of 80 cents on the 800. Forty
cents for municipal purposes is
equivalent to S1.60 on the old
valuations where the limit was
fixed by our charter at S1.-Fsir-
mont Times.
Yes, but it sounded good" to
so many unthinking people who
thought that it would exempt
them entirely from taxation. Be.
fore they get rid of "tax reform"
and its restrictions they will learn
better. They will find that "tax
reform" will reduce the size Of
the pocketbook materially.

the President in interference with

Our esteemed contemporary has
embodied in the above the gospel
truth. The Dawson machine has
grown so arrogant that it imag-
ines that the people are subject to
its whims and dictates. We have
not forgotten what Dawson told
Scott Merideth and Emmett Sho-
walter a. Fairmont when he ac-
cused them with being insurgents.
81 have my machine so perfect"
he said, striking a tragic pose,
"that | can clip the head off an
insurgent and not lose a drop of
bloodP That's the way Bill was
talking two years ago when he
thought that he had built up a
political machine that could defy
the people. He has changed his
tune within the past few months.
