ANOTHER DEFEAT.


For two twenty five minute halves
at Pittsburg last Saturday the pride
Of West Virginia steadily outplayed
their opponents. With the ball in
their possession they steadily adj
yanced it down the field time after
time only to be repulsed by the gal
liant assaults of the heroic umpire.
1t was not ON the bills for w. V. u.
to win and they did not win. Its a
tale of trusting not wisely but too
well. Duquesne battered at our
stonewall and sullenly were beaten
back losing the ball on downs re-
peatedly. Trenchard and Yeager tore
great holes in their line and fire.
quently went five yards through
them before being downed.
Only twice in the game was
the ball in West Virginia's ter
ritory once when the touchdown was
made and again for few moments
in the second half going as far as the
twenty-five yard line. Krebbs kicked
off and after few sharp scrimiages
and brisk interchange of kicks w.
V. L. got the ball near the center of
the field and started to victory. Du-
quesne seemed powerless before the
powerful rHshes of the Mountain
Giants and success was only mat
ter of time. Krebbs was hurt and
after CALAMITY remaining in the
game short time after,it was forced
to retire Smith taking his place at
guard. The triumphal march was
continued. Duquesne rooters were
sad and spiritless when a play took
place that turned defeat into victory.
The gallant umpire threw himself
into the breach and stopped the
husky warriors who seeming victo-
ry were playing like demons. us
ing hands unlawfully," was the
charge and on the ten yard line the
locals were stopped, their hopes of
victory turning like Dead Sea APP
Piles to ashes when grasped. Two
more plays and Beeman goes around
right end and aided by succession
of lucky accidents run ninety five
yards to a touchdown. Yeager tack
led him but was unable to hold him
owing to badly crippled hand it
being so badly hurt that he could
not shut his. fingers. Young kicked
goal easily making the score 6 too.
From this ON until the end of the
game the ball was in Duquesnes ter
ritory except when they kicked off
and both halves ended with it deep
down toward the goal. The boys are
not discouraged but each one of them
morally certain that w. V. U. can
beat Duquesne easily if given a
square deal. A game has been ar
ranged with p. A. c. for Thanksgiv-
ing day and if favorable rates are
given large crowd will see the
game.

WORK on the addition to the post
Office has commenced and it will be
pushed until completed.
The famous Tenant mill in South
Morgsntown is nearing completion
and there is no doubt that it will be
in full operation by the first of the
year.
THBRE is nothing that improves a
mans appearance more than a good
fitting suit Of clothes. If you want a
perfect fit at less price than shoddy
made clothes, buy at Hirschman's.
IT has been ordered that stepping
stones be laid across Spruce street at
it's junction with Wiles street. There
is large mud hole there that should
also be attended to.
WE asked one hundred ladies who
were wearing new wraps where they
had bought them. Ninety-four said
at Hirschman's. We don't wonder at
that. With their immense stock and
very low prices, they ought to sell
every wrap sold in the town.
A SWIFT excursion steamer has
been secured to take the team to
Pittsburg for theThanksgiving game
and the rate will be one dollar. No
stops will be made between here and
Pittsburg and the run will be made
as quickly as possible. A large
crowd will doubtless accompany the
team.
FOURTEEN per cent of West Vir-
ginia's population can neither read
nor write. This would seem to be a
very good argument for compulsory
school law. A condition of this kind
is a serious menace to free institu-
tions. Let the Legislature consider
this matter carefully at their next
meeting.
Hon. Geo. G. Sturgiss delivered a
speech at the recent session of the
grand lodge at Hinton before the Odd
Fellows and received great deal of
well merited praise for his effort. Mr..
Sturgiss never fails to say something
when he attempts an address and is
recognized as one of the ablest orators
of the state.
The young men around here who
part their hair in the middle may
be interested to learn that in the
East this practice has been abandon
ed by all but the "sissies." So if
the would be sports want to be up
with the times and not be ''sissies"
they will discontinue the fad and
comb their hair like sensible people.
THERE are three places in town
where the weather predictions may be
read: One at Miller's corner, another
at the depot and the third at A. w.
Jones' on Peasants street. A great
many people watch these forecasts ev-
cry day and the question is often asked
why the weather flags are no longer
displayed at Municipal Hall. Who is
| 1t among our readers that can give
the required information.

An item is going the rounds of the
press stating that George Washington
died on the last day of the last week
of the last month of the last year in
the 18th century on the last hour in
the day. This would be very interest
ing il true but as he died on Decem-
Der 14th, 1919, this statement will
have to be slightly revised. Accura-
cy however, is thing that should not
be allowed to stand in the way of such
a beautiful little fancy sketch.

1t is proper to judge the strength
of Presidential Cabinet by the man
selected for its head, and for that rea-

Secretary Of State; it would be impos-

the other places if he was put at the
head.

In response to toast at banquet
at New York recently Mark Hanna
made use of the following suggestive
language:
"Our cause was prejudiced. There
fore we sent into every county of In
diana, Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa
what would call colporteur, to
stay there and make his canvass in
the school house, in the saloon, on
the sidewalk or in the barn, and, if
necessary, to stay all night with the
farmer to convert him. This was
followed by host of spellbinders,
and so we found the disease among
the farmers in those states yielded
to the treatment readily, and they
came back into the old lines. Our
poll of Iowa showed $500 against
us, and we carried it by $4,000"
AS some $16, 100000 were used by
those missionaries it is not hard to
understand what sort of arguments
were used with those farmers who
Topped. Dark days are certainly in
store for a nation when such meth
DDS of carrying an election can be so
openly used.

After the election with all it's ex-
citement was over an improvement
in business no matter what the re-
suit might have been was expected.
1t always happens and there were
conditions that made it particularly
certain this year. But as for the
monster revival in business that we
have been hearing so much about
it is non existent. OF course there
has been some improvement part of
which is owing to a scarcity of
breadstuffs abroad. Things are now
about where they were a year ago.
Everybody is interested in having
good times and all should aid with
everything in their power to bring
such a condition about but there is
nothing to warrant the extravagant
claims of the Republicans as to
what revival has taken place as re-
suit of the election. A couple of Incl
dents might be given along this line.
An Indiana railroad, the Vandalia
has for it's Vice President man
who actively stumped for the sue
cess of the gold standard. He re-
peatedly asserted that if Bryan was
elected the road would go into the
hands of a receiver. Bryan was not
elected yet the road has gone into
the hands of a receiver. OF course
had Bryan been successful here
would have been a horrible example
of the ruin caused by his policy. An
other one is the assertion that 210
employees had been given work by
three Parkersburg firms yet not one
of the alleged firms has any exist
ance in fact. Now let us all do all
we can to promote an era of prosper
ity but let us see if we cannot avoid
downright lying in order to bring
it about. 1t pays to be truthful.

1t is dollars to doughnuts that there
will be no tariff legislation at the
coming session of Congress, and it
will not be the Democrats who will
prevent it, either. The Republicans
never did want the Dingley bill to be-
come a law; it was merely put through
the House at the last session for eff
feet. This will be proven at this ses-
sion of Congress by their not trying to
get the bill through the Senate.

Home town figures are being quot
ed great deal by the press to show
the influence of different PERSONAL
ties on the people who are best ac-
quainted with them. Probably the
most significant of all these are
those concerning the city of Cleve-
land. There Hanna lives and his
personality is well known by the
denizens of that fair city. They are
well acquainted with him and his
methods of doing business. OF course
the town went Republican as it al
ways has done but last year it went
10000 majority and this fall $500
This means that $500 of his
neighbors refused to vote for his
protege. This showing is very sig
nificant of the feeling that exists
toward Marcus Aurelius where he is
best known.
