THE Republican statesmen continue
their protestations that their party is not
responsible for the present wholesale
robbery of the people through the outra-
geous price of all the necessities OF life.
Well, if the Republicans, who have now
been in full power for dozen years or
more, are not responsible, who is?
Surely. not the Democrats.

A dreatsDecrease in Assessmsnt.
CHARLES Town, w. Va, :


March Ia, 1910.
Editor Register have had several in
ouiries, one of them from Shepherdstown,
as to the cause of the decrease in revenue
in 1909. as compared with that in 1908,
from taxation levied by the Board OF Pub
lie Works against sundry corporations
doing business in the county. Looking
into the matter, find the trouble or
cause is mainly in the assessment made
by said board against the Norfolk & Wes-
tern Railway Company.
In 1908 said company paid taxes on
1897 ,924. In 1909 it paid taxes on S678,-
GAS, a decrease in their assessment OF
$3l9, 279, or over 81 per cent. The loss
TO the county in revenue outside OF its in
corporated towns resulting from this de-
crease is over 81 100.
In 1908 ShepherdstoWn road dlstrictre-
,ceived on account of the N & W. Rail-
way $4560S. In 1909 it received only
S3l015, a loss of $l45 %.
The question as to why the n. & w.
Railway Company's assessment tumbled
down so tremendously is up to the Board
OF Public Works to answer or explain.
However, presume the N. & w. must
have proved to the satisfaction of the
board that the 1898, 900 assessment in
1908 was excessive.
Yours very truly,

way to punish the Sugar Trust, and at

AS Mr.. Johnson suggests above, it is
up to the Board of Public Works to ex-
plain this heavy decrease in the taxable
valuation OF the railroads. We cannot
believe that the railroad property has de-
creased in valuation-on the contrary,
we know it has been heavily increased
because of substantial Improvements
made.
The report OF the State Auditor shows
that the assessment of public service cor
porations in Shepherdstown for 1909 was
$3O,O96 rs, or $9,97l 81 less than for the
year 1908.
We hope that the Auditor will explain
the decrease.

Rubber gathering in the Amazon
river district'is hazardous and dim.
cult undertaking. The supply comes
from wild trees scattered throughout
dense forests, to which paths must be
cut through the tangled and luxuriant
underground. Even then the trees can
only be reached during three to 1--WE
months of the year, as throughout the
wet season the forests are completely
Inundated. The climate Is so un.
healthy that white men cannot do this
work and 1t is necessary to rely upon
the native blacks, who at best are
undependable and lazy. Their reluct
ance to join rubber gathering expedi
tions can readily be understood when
it is remembered that out Of q sea.
sons expedition perhaps only hall
will return alive.
When rubber tree is found the ma.
tive gatherer cuts series of gashes
into the bark with his machete, en-.
circling the tree from the ground up,
as high as he can reach. Cups are
fastened to catch the latex as II
oozes out. When a sufiic icient quantity
is collected 1t is removed to the tenn.
porary hut, where a dense smoke-pro
ducing fire is made OF certain nuts
and palm leaves. Then taking his
wooden paddle the native dips 1t into
the latex and holds 1t over the fire.
turning 1t round and round until the
latex coagulates. AS soon as It is
hard a new layer of latex is added
and coagulates as before. This pro.
cess is continued until the mass has
grown too large for handling, when
the paddle is taken out and the rubber
set aside for export. The process Of
coagulation and fumigation with these
specially selected nuts and leaves pre-.
vents decay and adds to the life and
wear resistance Of the manufactured
product. -
Tapping the trees for rubber does
not necessarily destroy them, nor is 1t
believed to materially shorten their
life; but unfortunately many thou.
sands Of trees are annually rendered
useless by careless and improper
methods. Although the source Of
crude rubber gum is practically inex.
haustible, the limited native labor
supply and the difficulties encountered
up to the time Of marketing 1t have
tended to-keep down the supply and
maintain a high standard Of prices.

nealnnlnus Of Woman,s RIahta.

The first decided Jar the American
woman gave her country was when she
showed her determination to work in
any way she chose for the correction
of any evil which stirred her soul.
The specific wrong on which she
first fixed her attention was slavery.
The method she took to fight It was
speaking in public. Two deep-seated
antagonisms were aroused by her
course-one the generally accepted
idea that women should not express
their views outside Of the household
and social circle, and the other the
almost universal opinion that the
slavery question must not be discussed.
Equipped with StyPaul's injunction,
generations Of Puritan ministers had
nailed the first idea into~the mind Of
the country. Scared peace-lovers Of all
clases had taught and fought for the
second, and here was woman in un-
holy obstinacy defying bothl-Ida NJ.

OMAHA PEOPLE
GREATLY EXCITED
THE GREAT COOPER AS He 10
, cA,,LED HAS STIRRED UP THAT
81 CITY TO A REMARKABLE
DEGREE.

Omaha, Nebraska, January 26.-This
city Is at present In the midst of an
excitement beyond anything that 1t
has experienced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside them
selves over an individual who was .
stranger to Omaha up to two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. T. Cooper. President Of
the Cooper Medicine Co., Of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years
Of age and has acquired fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations Of which he is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceeded the young man here were Of
the most startling nature, many Of
the leading dailies going SO far as to
state that he had nightly cured In
public places rheumatism Of years
standing with one Of his preparations.
The physicians of the East contradict
ed this statement, claiming the thing
to be impossible, but the facts seemed
to bear out the statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people fiocked to
him by thousands and his prepara-
tlons sold like wildtire.
Many of these stories were regard
ed as fictitious in Omaha and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with rheumatism,
and with a single application OF one
Of his preparations actually made
them walk without the aid of either
canes or crutches.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
Vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE is the foundation Of nine out OF
ten diseases and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as catarrh and
affections of the kidneys and liver, in
about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Omaha is ap-
parently n ad over the young man.
How long the tremendous interest
In Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
OF a let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be fad that will die out
as soon as Cooper leaves:
:, In justice to him, however, 1t must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished q great deal for the sick Of
this city with his preparations.
