Clarksburg is frst-rate town. 1t
is an old place, and has long been noted
for the culture and refinement of It's
people. There is considerable wealth
there, and that it is held by enterpris-
ing and public-spirited persons is evil
denced by the many substantial i'm
provements that have been made and
are now being pushed. Some of its
public buildings would be credit to
any city in the land. There is a Pc
culiar charm about many Of the resi-
dences, which are substantial, comfort
able brick mansions that have the ap-
pearance of being ideal homes, Sur
rounded by well-kept lawns, they do
not need the gingerbread" adorn-
ments so often thought necessary these
days to make a house handsome, Their
simple elegance Is their chief charm.
There are, besides these solid brick
mansions, some very handsome resi-
dences of more elaborate architecture
that are very pretty. The town is we'll
paved, and has gas and electric lights,
fine system of waterwOrks and other
modern improvements. Its stores are
excellent and business generally is done
after modern methods. The B. & O..
depot is about mile from the center
of the town, but when they get their
new station building this is an incon-
venience that will soon be forgotten.
Clarksburg has three railroads.&c.
Baltimore G. Ohio, the Monongahela
River, and the West Virginia and Pitts
burg-and a couple of others are pro-
jected.
Clarksburg is blessed with frst-class
banking facilities The Merchants Ma
tional Bank is solid institution that
has magnificent building of brick and
brown stone. The Traders National
Bank, though comparatively young is
a prosperous concern composed some
of the most energetic and wealthy cit
liens of the place. Mr.. 7. NJ. Jackson
is its president and Mr.. c. Sprigg Sands
its cashier. It's banking room in the
new Traders Building is the finest we
have ever seen. Alphabetically, ar
tistically and from commercial point
of view it is near about perfect. The
interior arrangements, designed by
Cashier Sands, it seems to US cannot be
well surpassed for safety and conven-
fence. The massive vault is in the real
center of the room-an lmpregnablt
fortress of brick and steel in which g
kings ransom might be safely stored
The furniture is quartered oak beauti'
fully polished and every detail is per-
feet. It's oficers and directors are gen
tlemen of such clever parts and such
excellent business ability and enter
prise that success is simply a natura
result.
Clarksburg will ever be remembered
of course, as the birthplace of the I'M
mortal Stonewall Jackson, the grear
| Confederate general and the idol of thu
southland. The house In which he wal
born was owned by Mr.. David David
son, prominent merchant of the place
who caused it to be torn down few
years ago to make room for modern
building. The relic-hunter of the REG
lister was presented by Mr.. Davidson
with a piece of walnut wood tina

fore the Editorial Association at
Clarksburg last week was eloquent
with figures showing West Virginia S
coming commercial greatness, and he
probably was not exaggerating the
boundless wealth of our Mountain
State. But that address was in strik-
ing contrast with the speech he made
before the Ways and Means Commit
tee Of Congress a year or two ago,
when he plead for protection on coal
for the poor operators, the struggling
railroads and the self-sacrifcing coal
agencies. The Governor put on a
mighty poor mouth then.

WE have no sympathy with theideas
of the American Protective Associa-

think it is against the spirit of Amer
lean institutions, instead of protective
of them. Nevertheless, both the great

have to consider the demands of this
great secret society in the next nation

The only knowledge that has power

cause of what he thought it would cost
him not to do it.

Although Methusalah lived to be the
oldest of men, he never did anything

Will our names upon our gravestones
be nothing more than names to those
who read them?
The heart will have new songs to sing
as long as praise is kept alive.
The testimony of a man who hasn't
heard God speak for years, never helps

Spiritual people are quick to discern
what kind of religion we have, by the
songs we sing and the way be sing

A Side assure Shelvcd.

The outlook is becoming clearer. The
attempts made to concentrate public at
tention on the currency question have
failed signally. 1t would have gratified
free-traders to have sown strife among
the protectionists by creating new is
sues. Such strife might have undoubt-
eddy weakened the protectionist cause
and enabled free-traders to accomplish
their aims stealthily. But the patriot
ism and intelligence of the people have
saved them from any such misfortune.
Protectionists are earnest, active and
united, They are strong in numbers
and are gaining in strength all the time.
They are refraining wisely from dis
putes over details and holding firmly TO
the broad principles on which protec-
ton to home industry is founded.

That Banner" Day.

Carried away by it's free-trade enthu-
siasm, the New York World said re-
Gently: Yesterday was the banner day
OF the custom house. The entries for
customs were 1919 and the receipts
were S43S, 265.95. No day in the his
tory of the customs at New York, under
the Mckinley bill, approached these re-
ceipts within $4,000.
AS for ourselves, We would much
rather hear of banner days" at Amefr'
can factories. on which more goods
would be made and more wages paid
than ever before. There is something
absurd in this Boosting of the influx OF
foreign goods at a time when many
worthy people are out of work and many
more are working for low wages.
The Mckinley bill can stand the i'm
piled sneer in the above paragraph. II
did not destroy foreign commerce as its
opponents held it would, but it held In
check foreign imports that competed
with home industries. 1t was not
framed to create banner day" at the
custom house.

What Religion Does.

1t is mistake to suppose that re-
ligion is designed to eliminate pleasure
from life. Quite the contrary is true.
1t does inculcate thoughts and prin-
ciples Of a serious and important ma
ture. But in doing so it promotes pleas
ure OF the choicest and most enduring
variety. 1t brings mere worldly amuse-
ment under due limitation, and en-
ployes it chiefly as a relaxation of life.
Religion brings its own pleasure with it.
Extirpating nothing innocent, it makes
innocence itself bliss. Discouraging
nothing cheerful, it renders cheerful
ness itself common habit by grating
into the heart something to be cheerful
over. 1t regulates the intellectual ma
chinery, gives poise to thought, SYM
metry to plans, and harmony to pur-
poses. 1t enthrones spiritual good as
the law of life and imparts qualities Of
richness, sweetness, and joy to right
actions and helpful words. 1t promotes
longevity by intoxicating temperate
habits and proper care of all the physi-
cal organs and powers. 1t imparts cor
rect and healthful views TO our earthly
existence by teaching that every crea-
ture Of God is good, and nothing to be
dispised, and that it is the privilege of
all believers to use this world as not
abusing it. 1t is the normal condition
of complete being. Sin gives no real
advantage to anyone, but holiness does.
Sin destroys. 1t mars perfection. 1t
clogs aspiration. 1t cripples endeavor.
Holiness upbuilds. 1t engenders COM
pleteness. 1t fans legitimate ardor. 1t
crowns all laudable effort with true sue
cess. Paul embodied common sense and
true philosophy in his beautiful state
ment that Goodness is profitable unto
all things, having the promise of the
life that now is and of that which is to
come"
