COUNTY FARM NOTES.
BY John Y. Mcdonald.
Many New Barns In Pleasant and
Grant

There seems to be On epidemic OF
barn building in the northern end of
the county At least twenty new barns
will be built I'm these two districts this
summer. Some OF the men building
are the following: VIII Livengood.
Elmer Strawser. Charles Deal. James
Spiker. James Tichenell. jeremiah
Teets. Hifford Friend. w. II. Mitchell.
Jno. M. Deal. Victor Miller. A. F. Her
ring, Thaddeus Benson and VIM. Glib
son. II is interesting to note how
much better these new barns are than
the old ones. Improvement I'm barn
building has been as great as in other
types of construction. Farmers expect
ing TO build new barns may obtain
blue prints free through the county
agent. He is more than glad to CO.
operate with interested farmers and
believes that many OF these barns
could have been made better for the
same cost by using the assistance OF
the U. S. department OF agriculture.

JOURNALS MALICIOUS ATTACK
ON COUNTY COURT

The Journal, in its last weeks issue,
published an article outrageously and
maliciously maligning the character of
Hon. John l.. Jenkins, president OF the
county court, and assaihng other MEM
bers OF the court. While the county
court is entirely made up of Republicans,
THE ARGUS cannot sit by with its hands
folded and tacitly assent to these charges
by not refuting them. The county court
is made up, as We believe, of fair, honor
able and just men, men who will do
what they think IS right, men who will
not be driven by the Journal or any
other influence, and the Journal insults
the good people of Preston county when
; ever 1t attacks the character OF such men
as 5shn +. Jenkins, II. A. Sisler, o. Y.
Shaw or A. l.. Sidwell.
Mr.. Jenkins has been a member OF the
court for many years and stands high in
his community. Every one knows that
John +. jenkins is an honest man, and
while THE ARGUS has fought him politi-
cally and tried to elect Democrat il his
have always stood by him, and they have
every reason to appreciate and be proud
oil his services on the county court.
No man stands higher in Kingwood dis
trict than Marshall A. Sisler. To assail
his integrity is an outrage, and we ven
ture that even after the ISLANDERS heaped
upon by the Journal he can get four votes
Tor reelection to every one that can be
secured by the editor OF that paper.
y. Y. Shaw is a man of wide business
experience. Every one who knows him
believes in his honesty. While it is Mr..
Shaw's first term on the court, he is a
man that cannot be led around by the
nose, and the Journal ought to know
better than to try to drive him.
Mr.. Sidwell is an honorable man and
naught has ever been said against him.
and his services as a member OF the court
have never been questioned or attacked
except by the Journal. The article in
last weeks issue of that paper was an
outrage and should not be permitted to
20 by unpublished. Every good and hon
est Republican should show his disap-
proval of that article by stopping his sub
scription. II THE ARGUS should ever be
guilty OF such a libelous attack on any
body, Republican or Democrat, we would
urge our friends to adopt the same course.
For the benefit of those who do not
understand the controversy waged by
Mr.. Whetsell, OF the Journal, and Mau-
rice Jackson, of the News, let us say that
the law provides that the financial state
ment shall be published every year, and
requires that it be published in the Re-
publican and Democratic papers so that
both political parties may be informed as
to what disposition has been made of the
countv's money. To prevent excessive
charges on the part OF the county papers,
the law has fixed specific rate, and thi.
rate is uniform Throughout the state
There being but one Democratic paper in
this county, there is no controversy and
the printing is given to THE ARGUS with.

again, the financial statement - not
the only public printing given out and
paid for by the county. The clerk OF the
circuit court has a great deal Of printing
done for his Office, the clerk Of the county
court has a great deal Of printing done
for bis Office, and the same is true Of the
sheriff and assessor and superintendent Of
schools. All this the Journal has had for
many wears, and still enjoys, and the
amount received by il has been far in ex-
Cess Of that received by the News for
publishing the annual financial statement.
While the annual statement costs about
five hundred dollars, the amount Of
money received from county printing by
the Joornal has been far in excess Of one

At the present moments deliberate and
far-reaching effort is being made to coerce
the President OF the United States in the
discharge Of his official duties by the use
OF political intrigue.
.
To give point to this method German
propagandist journals are already print
ing tabuations Of the loss Of Democratic
votes incident to Mr. Wil.on's perform
ance Of his duty. This IL an impudcnt
and intolerable assertion OF the doctrine
that the President Of the United States
must think Of the votes OF those frankly
devoted 10 alien interests when national
honor and national interest are at stake.
IN this situation there is just one thing
for the Republicans 70 do. Their sup
port Of a President defending American
lives and rights must be complete and
unialtering. American Republicans must
replace German Democrats ia the ma
tlOnal alignment. The President must
know and feel that at the waters edge
all questions Of partisan polite. end.
II would be better for the Republican
party 70 indorse Woodrow Wilson in
1916 than b permit the principle 10 be-
established that to defend American i'm
terests is 10 commit political suicide.
Let no American, let no Republican,
b. deceived by the far-reaching and in-
dustrious manipulation now in progress.
] many Of The republicans believe that
the President i- censurable for the mod.
Grafton of bis policy, they should not
play into German hands now by With
holding support when Mr. Wilson is
being asssiIed Tor what he has done.
In the moment Of national peril German
agents and intrgues divided The Liberal
party in Great Britain and threw the
whole administration into confusion. The
same thing has heen attempted here.
Ia England the Conservative saved the
day By sacrificing political interest 30
national welfare. The Republicans in
THE country ran do no less

Tho Ready ExplaIner

The Intelligencer publishes long ii-
torial on the starting OF the Rivertide
mill, containing its version of why tbst
industrial establishment has been idlei for
many months and why il Is now active.
As ready explainer the trust sheet is in
class by itself. Ii was Democratic
tariff that kept the plant closed, We are
told, and it was the foreign war that
started the present run.
Some months ago when business was
depressed, it was suggested that the
European conflict was responsible and
that when trade adapted itself to the
changed conditions due to the war. an
improvement might be expected. The
lntelligencer refused TO take that view of
the situation, and in its three a. week
tariff essays blamed all the hard times on
the Underwood act. Now that the hard
times have passed, it is unwilling to adj
init that the tariff had anything to do
with the improvement. The war has
started the mills, says the reactionary
sheet, and when the war ends they will
stop again.
1t If very apparent that the iron and
steel men do not take this view, IA il
| does not harmonic with their activities.

half million dollars on extensions and

town plant, consisting of two open hearth
furnaces and four tube mills. So far az
the Riverside mill is concerned, every
body here understands that whenever II
is operated the National Tube company
Is running TO one hundred per cent oil
its capacity. Because it is an antiquated
plant, it is the first TO feel the effects oil

and the last to benefit 10y a revival oil
business in that line. If its long idleness
is to be attributed to the Underwood
tariff, how does the Ready Explainer &C
count for the equally long shutdown Of
the mill under a high protective tariff
