Writing the Bond-John Steen OF
Rugby, state treasurer elect, was one
of the first of the new Off Gals to ar
rive at the capitol. Some think he has
opened his career inauspiciously by
getting at loggerheads with the state
auditing board over the question of
writing his bond for 100000 as treas
urer. The board has always managed
this matter and as the state pays out
that it should have some say as to the
placing of it, Bids were asked for it,
hut owing to a gentleman's agreement
all bids were alike and the pie was
divided between fourteen companies.
Then came Mr. Steen, who said he
had already awarded the whole pie to
one agent and one company-a North
Dakota one, by the way-and he re-
fused to hear the state auditing board.
The board suggested that company
having a capital of 100000 was
hardly in good shape to write a bond
of 100000. However, Mr.. Steen is
taking himself very seriously in the
matter and his stand is backed by
some, who rejoice in this early evil
dence of what they claim has not been
evident in the state capitol for some
time-backbone
j. !.
Another issue-There will be con.
certed movement to wipe out the tax
commission and replace it with one
man tax commissioner. The expense
of the commission, composed of three
members, is assigned as the reason
and it's passing is entirely in the in.
terests of economy. We believe this.
The tax commission has already I'M
the state and it would be economy for
the tax dodgers to have it removed.
OF late it has been making the rail-
roads uneasy by showing that the
rate of taxation on farm lands and
personal property has grown steadily
for the past ten years and that rail.
road taxes have remained about sta.
tionary For this and other activities
it is doomed 1t is the common talk
that Andrew Miller, whose term as at
torney general has just expired, will
be appointed to the commission and
should the one-man idea win, Packard,
insurgent, and Wallace, Democrat, will
be eliminated and Miller will reign
alone.
!. !. !.
No New capitoI-Stories of a move.
ment for a new capitol are premature.
The present building is good enough
for it's purposes for years yet. But
that is no reason why the laws gov
erning fire prevention should be ig-
nored by the one building in the state
where the laws are made. In all the
building there it not fire escape!
Many other things about the building
are contrary to law. The expenditure
of a few hundred dollars would re-
move these dangerous conditions and
make the statehouse safe. a. !:

Enjoyment Of These Satires Upon
"Peculiar German Methods Of Warfare"
HEATH ROBINSON, the

Nv
M British cartooni9t, keeps
W Up his extraordinary
jests upon the German methods OF
conducting war
Mr.. Robinson is undoubtedly one
of the oldest geniuses Of our day.
His infinite capacity for imagining
grotesque details and combining
them in a pleasing and artistic pic
ture gives him a unique position.
When, however, he draws in
spiration from the peculiar forms
Of warfare by which the Germans
are slaughtering his fellow country
men, his calmness takes ones
breath away. Perhaps the strang-
est thing about it is that the Eng
lish highly appreciate Mr.. Robin
sons cartoons in the London
Sketch, and laugh heartily at the
ridiculous methods employed by
the scientific barbarisns to kill
them" as one BritOn has expressed
It.
II you look at the accompany
ing pictures you will find that most
of the odd little details employed
by Mr.. Robinson are more or less
closely related TO the use Of
asphyxiating gases, the dropping
of incendiary bombs, the poisoning
of wells and such matters.
Psychologists are divided as to
the differences to be drawn from
these cartoons concerning the
state of the national mind in Eng
land. Some argue that they reveal
a superb. sane courage that can
Jest at calamities, and that must
eventually triumph over all OBJ
stacles. Others say that they re
veal a mental condition that is
profoundly frivolous, and therefore
unfit to cope with the enormous
difficulties Of the -Tar situation
The Germans and the French are
both equally incapable Of making
fun of their war sufferings II the
manner of Mr.. Heath Robinson.
The German comic papers look as

General Staff, and were designed
solely to make the German soldier
feel confident of his ability to
crush the enemy. The French
comic papers have either stopped
publication or grown serious.
Perhaps Nj RObinson's cartoons
may lead TO new and better ways
of conducting war. Il sounds far
fetched, but we must remember
that poets and artists have almost
invariably pointed the way to new
discoveries.
For instance. Mr.. Robinson shows
the Germans laughing gassing the
British" How splendid it would
be if we could eld a war by just
making the enemy helpless with
uncomfortable lauRhteri

Another Tragedy at Charles Town.

We regret that we have to record this
week another distressing tragedy from
our neighboring city oil Charles Town
the sad event being the death OF Mr.. G.
Frank Gallaher, one OF the most estimable
residents of that place. MIR. Gallaher
was magistrate for Charles Town dis
trict, and was usually very busy with the
affairs of his office and other matters in
which he was interested. Tuesday morn
ing he left the house, ostensibly to go to
his Office, but he was not again seen
alive. Not appearing al his office during
the day, nor returning home in the even
ing, his friends made search for him,
which resulted in finding his body hang
ing lifeless in an out-building On the
premises. II is likely that he had taken
his own life in the morning, and no one
having gone into the building, his body
had hung there all day. Coming within
ten days OF the suicide OF M. E. Bolinger,
the tragedy created a profound sensation
in the county. Mr.. Gallaher, who was
70 years OF age, was one OF the best men
in the community, and the only explana-
ton OF his rash act is that he was tempo
rarily deranged. Indeed, several persons
who conversed with him on Saturday and
on Monday now recall that he talked
queerly, and his mind had undoubtedly
become affected. He was Confederate
veteran, having served during the Civil
War as member of Company A, Second
Virginia Regiment, Stonewall Brigade.
At one time, many years ago, he clerked
in Van Underdonk's store in Shepherds
town. He had long been justice OF the
peace in Charles Town, and was capa-
Bile and respected official. He was an
elder in the Presbyterian Church, and
had also been superintendent Of its Sum-
day school. He was prominent in Ma
sonic circles, being member OF Malta
Lodge, A., F. and A. M, and OF Potomac
Commandery Of Knights Templar. He is
survived by his widow, who was Miss
Beall, OF Charles Town.
