No Longer Boss

Editor Argus: In last weeks Jour

wall because the county court did not
give ii the printing of the financial
statement and as usual blames the
Democrats.
How things have changed Back a
few years ago if one of us old Repub-
leans wanted to run for road super
visor before we dared TO announce we
had to go i'm and ask the Journal If
we might run. Everybody had to bow
to the old family Journal and its little
ring. Now the poor old jade has not
enough influence to get little print
ing from it's own party at half price.
My-how the mighty have fallen!
The Journal has been trying to
edge over into the Democratic party
for some time but we did not know
what its object was. 1t kind of fool
ed us. We thought when it was lam
basting Hatfield, McCrum, Pierce and
others for their rascality, deception
and general cussedness that maybe at
last il had absorbed a little reason.
But now the motive is plain. 1t was
to get the support of the sleek and

could get the county printing as it has

The Job and the Man

That President Wilson has directed the
secretaries of war and navy to report to
him an ordered plan of national defense
is good news.
We suffer at the moment from too
much thunder and shouting OF self-con.
stituted captains. The military specialists
are working at cross-purposes. The peo-
pie are subjected to bombardmcnt of
mlitarist notions and costs which con-
fuse all and revolt the many who are de-
voted to our free institutions. We have
to recognize at the same time demon
stration by the European war that a
great and intelligent nation is capable i'm
our day OF developing a spirit OF con-
quest as ruthless as ever possessed a
civilization Of antiquity
This is situation which needs to be
taken in hand and ironed out by the in
telligence and patriotic leadership of the
nation. President Wilson is the man TO
assume the active supreme direction in
this work. His Office dictates it. His
mental and spiritual qualities admirably
equip him. No man of our time is more
closely informed of American history, no
man more hostile to miitarism, no man
more devoted to the traditions and prin-
ciples and what should be the service to
mankind and the destiny of this nation.
We are not to settle this matter i'm
terms OF huge money expenditures. We
are not to settle it on any principle of
preparedness for offensive campaigning.
1t is defensive preparedness We are
alter. For the navy we must hew to the
line of superior efficiency and not SUI
perior cost and bigness. For the army
we must go back to the Constitution and
"a well-regulated militia" as the best
security OF free state
We have no such militia today except
in spots. We should have such a militia
which is commensurate with the country
and with its unequalled potential re-
sources for defensive warfare
A sYstematized order OF army and navy
development in preparedness along these
lines is the job in hand The President
is the one TO lead in such an establish
ment oil it as will assure permanency and
admit OF any needful expansion. World.

Where the Money Goes
fNNNHONNIUIIT 1'JUIcJ
JACOB Il. MATLICR.

In 1910 the people of the sta.e awoke
to the realization OF the fact that too
much money was being spent in the adj
miDistration OF public affairs in this State
and to check that tendency they elected
legislature Of political complexion
opposite to that in control of the state g
ailairs-a legislature which promptly
proceeded to cut down expenses and to
lower the state levy to one cent. But
lapsing again into Indifference as to
what became of their taxes they brought
about change, with the result that the
legislature OF 1913 spent so much more
than was coming in that the state was
unable to pay its bills until further and
higher taxes were imposed this spring.
And with the imposition of such taxes,
inrthcr increases in expenditures we're
made. With further expenditures and
material increases in the appropriations
oil various departments came the an
polntment OF more men to office, reveal
ing the real reason for a "vital, funda-

ITS A NASTY BIRD THAT eEFouLs
ITS OWN NEST

The Preston County Journal used to
spend its time growing and snarling and
fighting the Democratic county court,
and many of its friends accepted this
abuse heaped upon the head OF its politi-
cal enemies as a part Of the political game,
but last weeks Journal was more intern
perate in its abuse of the Republican
court than it had ever been OF any OF the
members of the Democratic court. Every
one knows that its abuse OF the Demo
cratic court was wicked. vicious and I'M
called for, and was brought about from
the fact that that court would not give il
the county printing, but gave it to the
Preston News instead. OF course, every
one felt that the Democrats could have
stopped the Journals whining by giving
1t the county printing, but il was music
in their ears to hear it yelp. Last fall
the good people of Preston county, in
their wisdom, elected a tried and true
Republican county court. The Journal
supported and voted for every member OF
this court, and, Of course, expected i'm
turn TO receive from them the county
printing.
The Journal, however, forgcts that it is
not the only Republican newspaper in
Preston county and overlooked the fact
that the Preston News has been promi-
nent feature in Republican politics The
Journal was the old ring mouthpiece and
represented the old Jim committee. To
fight the outrageous and Ubiquitous boss
ism exerted 10y the old Jim committee,
the News was brought into being, and
from that day has always represented the
progressive and better thinking element
OF the Republican party. While we do
not know, We are led to believe that the
News outnumbers the Journal in subscrl-
bers, and we do know that it has mors
influence and is better received in the
hearts and the homes of the people of
Preston. The Journal is fossilzed
periodical and deals only with dead
issues. The News is a sprightly, up-to-
date newspaper and deals only with pres
ent conditions. Is it any wonder the
Republicans prefer it to the Journal?
The bosses that once ruled the journal
believed in driving the rank and file Of
the Republican party to the polls like the
old overseers of the south drove their
niggers TO and from work, and the Jour
nal still follows this policy. IL the editor
OF the Journal would give to the people
OF Preston county better newspaper and
prove that he really deserved the county
printing, We have no doubt but what he
would get it. The fault surely lies with
him. The space he uses in snarling and
grumbling and abusing his fellowman
could be used to much better purpose,
and the people OF the county have grown
tired OF hearing this abuse and contro-
versy exploited every year. The Journal
should give them a rest.
