MORE LIBERALITY In BUSINESS.

Martinsburg offers every advan-
tage for business and enterprise,
more SO than ether towns, yet they
are far ahead of us. There must be
some reason for this. Observation
and experience show that in Martins
burg the public interest must always
be sacrificed for that of the individ-
ual. Count over the attempted enter
prises that have failed and note
what dragged them down. Men
who risked their money and CAV e
their time and their labor, literally
came out losers. Others forever
ON THE MAKE, gained their purpose
and with sharpened wits are ever on
the lookout for themselves. 1t
seems they must be kept up some
way, and tits foregone conclusion
that the patronage i'm whatever they
touch must by compulsion be theirs.
Where there are men to be elected
to offices, their ruling passion is loud
ly proclaimed from the beginning as
an ultimatum. And whitening
blight it proves to be in high places
or low, for the individual or
the organization, thus unfor-
tunately cursed and doomed to
ruin and failure sooner or later.
There is no liberality; it is crush,
crush, crush (; down with everything
but themselves and their clique of
man and money and place worship
ers. This is free country and a
liberal people, but will they be blindly
led forever. Why not assert their
independence, live and let live en-.
courage and sustain for the public
good, and not for the individual sup
port. We for one will not be forced
to the support or encouragement for
the benefit of the individual, and
though we may be crushed, as long
as we have life and health we can
work. A generous public and friends
if we have any, we ask not to be
misled into the support of what gen.
orally turns out we'll for the MAN ON
FHE MAKE. With what such are
connected, it is the best to have
nothing to do. Look again and see
the more successful institutions and
enterprises of Martinsburg, to what
a different class of men they owe
their success generous, liberal and
fair. They served the public, not
the individual. They succeeded,
they are respected, they will be
missed and the only regret is that
we have not more of this class and
less of the other.

A CURSE OF THE LAND.

For the good of the country and
the making of the generation of men
and women now growing up, it is to
be hoped the roller skating craze is
soon at the end Of its reign. Many
places are beginning to suffer from
it's effects, morally, physically and
financially. 1t units the young for
study, for work or for business, for
their minds are taken up with rink,
rink, rink; at home and out at work
or at play, day and night. For those
who can afford it and have not the
making of themselves, it matters not.
But for the hard working father and
mother, the youth depending upon
themselves for all they ever expect
to be, it is destruction and rnination.
The necessaries of life, the demands
OF parents, of the church, of the pub
lie, of themselves, are sacrificed to
get money to go to the Kinks; not
one night, but every night. Any
clerk OF employee who does not fire.,
quent the Kinks is north S5 week
more than one who does; in some
businesses we would not have a
young rink man about us; he would
be dear at nothing. Under such
circumstances where are industry
and economy. 1t saves drunkards.
they say. Where it saves one drunk.
ard it communicates one hundred
other virtues and good qualities.
You tell boy or girl by the com
pany they keep. Look in at the
rink and pass your Judgment. They
say the rlnks are we'll conducted.
The devOurer which goes around
like roaring lion conducts his bnsi.
ness on that identical plan, and it's a
part of it. 1t is time for fathers and
mothers, pastors and people, to put
all their influence and authority to
work. The seed time of danger and
evil is always favorable enough,
without cultivating a special field for
so abundant a harvest of misery and
misfortune. 1t is difficult enough TO
raise children well. 1t is hard enough
to get a good standing in this world
or in the next, except it be the great
sham of fashion and society that
lives at the expense of others. Let
drunkards 60 to the Kinks to be re-
formed. Let decent citizens STAY at
home to remain decent, and young
girls and boys be kept away that
they may grow up without the need
of the drunkard's rink reform, and
save their money and good name
and character, and spare the gray
hairs of their fathers and mothers.
