The MacCorkle (Democratic) admins
tration cost the taxpayers 81, 694, $50 and
the Bill Dawson administration cost S.
30l, ITO, or SO, COG 800 MORE than Mac
Corkle's. These are the figures hat make
the Preston County Journal roar and bel
low when we shake 'em in its face. 1t
don't like 'em, for.Bill Dawson said he
would reduce the MacCorkle figures il he
was governor. But Bill got tangled up
in tax REFORM and machines and rings
and lost his notching stick.

Collecting for tho Church.

Last Saturday and Sunday the first
quarterly meeting of the TOWNSVILLE ME.
circuit was held at the Hopewell church.
We attended and were much interested in
the financial part of the meeting. Rev.
W.D. Reed, district superintendent, con
Quoted the business part of the meeting
TO the satisfaction of all, with one excep-
tion. The congregation is small. Possir
bly, the male paying members do not ex-
coed five at this time. Last year these
five paid the pastor $40. This year the
district superintendent suggested that they
pay $50, which was agreed upon. The
member who did not pay any Of the $40
last year moved that they pay the pastor
$50 this year, and the district superin-
tendent proceeded to collect the first quar-
ter. All OF the brethren came up with
the cash except this one, who took out
his pocketbook and looked at his money
twice, and then returned it TO his pocket.
The next day this good brother was heard
to say: when the church authorities
furnish a pastor that can preach / will
give my $40 and not before" So you see.
gentle reader, all of the troubles OF this
world do not belong to one class of men.
Rev. Reed preached two able and in
structive sermons Saturday night and
Sunday morning, after which he returned
to Tunnelton, where he preached at 3 p.
IN. The pastor, Rev. Frank Shahan, ac-
%companied him. He is i'll and not able
to continue the meeting. Rev. Samuel
Moses shaffer preached Sunday and Mon
day nights. On Tuesday Rev.J.F Funk,
OF FellowsvilIe, preached and will con-
tinue the meeting indefinitely.

The editor of THE ARGUS and w. J..
Lavelle are not an issue as neither are po-
litical ofice-holders nor o~Hice-seekers. Up
TO date they have paid all taxes assessed
against them while they have been resi-
dents Of the county. They have never
peer returned delinquent by the tax col
lector, and Brown, Smith, and Jones are
not concerned about the Mehrten and
Lavelle axe SO long as they pay up.
What they are interested in is their own
tax receipts. The tax receipts will be
aired later on.

Say, you old, rock-ribbed, dyed-in.the-
wool Republicans, have you forgotten how
Bill Dawson used TO yell that the Demo-
cratic party should be turned out Of Office
on account of its extravaganza? Sure.
Wei, when you turned the Democrats
out the state appropriation were 81, 604,-
$50. Then you turned Bill Dawson in.
Did he reduce the appropriations? Not
much. Dawso ran the state a~ppropria-
honsuptoS =, 30l ITO, or SO, SOC, $50 MORE
than the Democrats. That's what Bill
calls tax REFORM" and you good old Re-
publicans who stood by the party are
helping 70 pay for it.

We would suggest that the editor OF the
Journal take a trip up in Valley and over
in Reno and compare a few of the farm
ers' tax receipts for 1908 and 1909. 1t is
the only way to convince the tillers Of the
soil that Bill Dawson and the ring have
reduced their taxes. While the spirit is
moving within thee, Horatio, do not fail
to do this. 1t might tighten thy burden
and save thee another term as postmaster.

THE ARGUS is both humane and merci-
to! and it is free to admit that there is
for the angry mood in which the
editor OF the Journal finds himself. He
has been eating the public pie for sixteen
years and helping to divide the pastry
among the followers of the ring for the
same length OF time. To be deprived of
both is enough to make him paw the air
and groan and blame THE ARGUS for his
political misfortune.

the reason the Preston county ring no

Why don't Bill Dawson address a letter
to the farmers Of Preston showing them
how his tax laws have reduced their taxes.
Bill has always been short on facts but
long on wind. Besides, just think how
it would cheer up the poor old Journal
until we got our hooks on il.

We reckon when Bill Dawson's ascot
ate counselship expires he will be ready
to accept anything that guarantees a seat
at the pie counter. Bill has only held
public Office for something like thirty
years. The party has treated Bill very
shabbilyi But then, Bills been the party
for twenty-five years.
