Another Scandal In Martinsburp.

Mrs. Hester Lord, wife of William
Lord, and Luther A. Breeden, a young
man who has been seen frequently in
MRS. Lords company riding around in
the Lord car, both residents of Martins
burg and we'll known there, were ar
rested in Harrisburg, Pa, last Friday
charged with the larceny of the auto
mobile, which Mr.. Lord, the plaintiff,
alleges belongs to him.
The arrest was made at the request
of the State, through assistant Prose
cutting Attorney Rodgers. who forward
ed the warrant 10 the PENNSYLVANIA
authorities, on the basis of which the
State will ask 10 have them returned
to Martinsburg for trial. They were
arrested at boarding house in Har-
risburg by city policeman, who was
informed that they had been occupy
ing separate rooms.
The State learned that the de-
PENDANTS had engaged counsel in Har-
risburg, who had asked habeas
corpus writ, on which they would seek
their release on the ground of unlaw-
full detention.
Plans for the joint flight were we'll
laid in advance, according to informa-
tion given out by the authorities. Mrs.
Lord drove the car on Sunday to Green
castle, Pa, it is said, or to Harrisburg.
Breeder, it is alleged, made the trip
across the State line by train.
In preparation for the flight Mrs.
Lord, who had been given a checking
privilege on his account by her hus-
band, wrote checks tptaling approx
mately 5000, according to Lord, al
though only $50 was said to have been
cashed.
In addition she visited a number
OF the city stores last week and pur-
chased supplies Of wearing apparel on
Lords account, so the story runs, and
she is also alleged to have deposited
some Of Lords money to her own, in
stead of his, account. AS soon as in
formation of her fight reached Lord, he
advertised that he would not be re-
sponsible for any bills contracted in
his name by anyone.
Ownership Of the car is somewhat
in question, it is said, because the Ii
cense was issued to Mrs. Lord, al
though Mr.. Lord is said to have bought
it with his own money and it is so as
sessed on the personal property
records. No charges other than lar
ceny have been made so far.

SOMETHING ABOUT OUR TAXES.

The taxpayers of Shephcristowu dis
trict have considerable relief this wear
as compared with the taxes levied for
school purposes last year, the rate
being ~ cents on the hundred dollars
as compared with 95 cents in 1920.
This reduction of So cents will be very
welcome. Last year the teachers levy
VAS - cents, this year il is "A cents.
thS reduction coming on account of the
eoSinI OF two country schools and n
reduction in the salary of the principal
OF the Shephcrdstown Graded School.
The cost of automobile service in
bringing country children 10 and from
the town school, however, adds $4,000
10 'he maintenance fund. The main
tenanee fund levy last year was 3s
cents TO pay for a new heating plant
III the graded school building-this
year II rs reduced TO IL cents. The
new building and improvement fund
calls for a levy Of 3 cents, the same
as last year.
The Charles Town board of educa-
ton makes levy of 52H cents, or
6H cents less that ours. Their
teachers levy is 40 cents, against our
"A cents. The school levy Is Kable-
town district is so cents, in Middleway
district 4s cents, and in Harpcr's Fer
ry district IS cents. IL will thus be
seen that Harpcrs' Ferry districts
school tax is much the highest in the
county and that Shepherdsnwn' is
next.
Shepherdstown's corporation levy is
81 cents on the hundred dollars.
Charles Towns levy is So cents and
Ranson's so cents.
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1921-08-18

The county levy totals 46H cents, a
reduction OF So cents from last year,
when il was 81 cents.
The road levy for Shcpherdstown
district is placed at Is cents on the
hundred dollars this year-lO cents
more than last year, when il was Is
cents. The levy in Kabletown district
is 10 cents less than last year; Charles
Town district is 5 cents higher;
Harper's Ferry and Middleway dis
tricts are the same as last year.

ABOUT A PUBLIC BUILDING
CONGRESSMAN BECK EXPLAINS
THE SITUATION
Action on Postoffice for Viroqua
Not Expected for Some Time,
He Thinks
To the Editor of the Censor:

10 Tie EQlLOI OF the CENSOR
Just before leaving Washington /
introduced bill for new post-office
building for Viroqua. The first to APP
proach me for such building was an
official connected with the Post Office
Department. / have also been urged
by patrons of the office to push the
matter along. / am willing to do what
| can for the patrons of the Viroqua
Post Office when the necessities of the
case require it, and providing it may
seem cheaper to build than to rent
But to those who are anxious for
new building, and may be, expecting
one, / wish to say that the present
Congress will not appropriate any
money for building purposes, except
in cases where it is absolutely una
voidable. Il is possible that by join
ing hands with other congressman
who want to get appropriations of one
kind or another, for their own districts
/ might be able to get post office
building for Viroqua. At any rate,
that has been the way such things
have been accomplished in past con-
crosses Such a procedure has lead
to huge, useless and burdensome APP
preparations, AM if / can't get post
office for Viroqua on the merits of the
case, without joining hands with 9TH
ers, | will not get one. / do not be-
lieve in that method of getting appro-
priations.
/ have felt, and the patrons of our
postoffice feel, we should have better
building, more room, etc, for our
growing needs and the postoffice de-
4 partment is finding it more and more
difficult to get suitable quarters for
such offices. In some places the Gov
eminent is forced to pay rent enough
in three years to buy the building used
4 for postoffice,
So wherever it is cheaper to build a
postoffice building than to rent one,
am in favor of doing that, and before
postoffice will be built for Viroqua
officials of the department will look
over the situation, study Viroqua' S
needs, consult with the patrons of the
office and then act as the necessities of
the case may require.
The bill introduced calls for an APP
preparation of 100000. That does
not mean that it will take that amount
of money to build such an office. If
it is decided to build, and that suit
able building can be put up for one
half or one fourth that amount, then
.
be reduced to that amount. But as
matters now stand, no one knows
when the Government will get to its
building program No one knows
whether real estate will go up OF
down, whether building material, OF
wages will go up or down, no one
knows what the freight rates on build
ing material will be. But suppose il
costs 100000. Does anyone realize
how much of tax that will be pei
capita upon the people of Viroqua? Il
will mean about one-tenth of cent
per person or less than SO for thtt
whole city. | introduced the bill 81
as to have the matter in line for &C
ton when the time comes and tht
! necessities require. But so long a!
congress is throwing away billions OF
useless armies and navies, | do no
500 much hope for a postoffice fol
Viroqua.

PREPARE FOR PASSOVER

In the good old days, before the
age Of daily bridge and theatre-par-
ties, this time of the year was
busy one in the Jewish home. Our
mothers, pious and devoted as they
were, although not conscious Of their
spirituality and saintliness and I'M
sophisticated, perhaps, feared that
If they would neglect the preparations
for Passover their homes might not
be " Kosher lie Pesach.' Even the
wealthy homes kept scrupulously
clean all the year around had to have
a special Passover cleaning.
There are still many, and there
should be more, who are rigorous in
having all leaven out Of their homes
during Passover week.
But this Jewish custom has also a
symbolic significance of which we
must never lose sight. Our homes may
be perfectly clean, and we may be
perfectly clean, and We may be high
ly cultured and refined, but do we
scrupulously keep our spiritual house
in order? Are We spiritually prepar-
ed for the Passover?
In Rabbinic literature, one Of the
metaphorlc names for the "Yetzer
hora,' the inclination within us that
incites US TO do evil, is "seor," leaven,
which is SO strictly forbidden during
Passover. Speaking frankly, do we
not have a superfluity Of leaven with
in us that gives rise to selfish, un-
worthy and ignoble acts? Are we
not contaminated with the impure in
fluences Of lifel How few Of US are
heroes Of the spirit, eonquering over
human weakness, folly and sin, and
how many Of US are hand-cuffed and
chained as prisoners to vicious hab-
its.
Passover is coming. We must clean
up our homes of all "chometz" and
our spiritual homes Of all "leaven"
that ferments and brings about sin
and evil. We should also determine
always to live in the Passover spirit,
for the Passover holiday should be to
US not only the season for comment
Grating our freedom from Egyptian
slavery, but this festival should be to
US also an inspiration to free our
selves from the bondage Of every
thing that enthralls US and prevents
US from leading lives that are good
and true ard therefore beautiful.
