Are You W orthy?

How high is political feeling
running in Dickinson County to-
day? We do not know the truth
about it, but we hear disturbing
rumors. They say that the Repub-
licans are out for Democratic
scalps and prepare to knife any
proposal that comes from Demo-
cratic sources. They say that the
Democrats are ready to jar Repub
licans and are preparing to go
after a few Republican scalps.
Now, this country of our is
democracy. Political feeling is.
on the whole, good for a democ-
racy. But, like any good thing,
it can be carried too far. After
all, the officers of this county
were elected by the people for
their own merits and for the af-
lection the people bore them. The
people have given them no man
date to punish anybody or to
wreck any department of public
service. Fault-fnding is the east
est thing in the world. eff to do
were as easy as to know how to
do, chapels had been churches and
poor mems cottages princes pal
aces"
In electing the officers of this
county, the people invested in
them trust for good government.
It is their obligation to fulfill that
trust. If they depart from it to
the extent of crippling public serv-
ice for reasons Of political malice.
their satisfaction will not live long.
Chickens will come home to roost.
Take all the heads you can, if
you can put as good heads in their
places. If any public department
needs overhauling, overhaul it, if
you know what you are doing.
Above all, do not hurt a great
number of people to satisfy parti-
san bitterness. If you do that, you
are not worthy of the trust the
people placed in you.

Governor Price is to be COM

which he called for two and one
half million dollars increase for
state public schools. No doubt
each county and city will need
this necessary increase for teach

hear of any teacher in Virginia
being overpaid for his services.
In order to meet this increase
in expenditures for public schools
Governor Price has recommended
an increase in tax on alcohol as
the chief source of revenue. Other
