WILL PUT IN METAL CEILING
Plastering in Supreme Court Room Has
Become Dangerous.

For some time the plastering in the
Supreme court room has been falling,
until it has become both dangerous and
unsightly.
The Board Of Public Grounds and
Buildings yesterday investigated it and
decided to have a handsome metal cell
ing put in at the earliest possible date.
The contract for the work was given
to Mr.. Jas. d. Briggs, who is to have
the work done during the holidays, at
cost to the State of 1922.
The design selected for this ceiling is
very handsome and artistic.

MUSICALE AT THE YARBoRO..
One of the Most Delightful Social
Events of the Season. rl

These are mighty busy days with the
ladies of the various churches and or
CARNATIONS, who have on hand benefits
and entertainments for philanthropic OBJ
jects. But none are buster or harder at
work than the women of the First
Presbyterian Church. Through their eff
forts funds are being raised to complete
the handsome new building now being
erected Of course, when it is COM
pleted, it will be run by deacons and ell
ders, the women being allowed no SAY
so' whatever. This isn't right, but it's
so.
But returning to the efforts of the wo-
men to raise money for charitable pur-
poses, there has been no event here re-
Gently more delightful socially or more
successfully financially than was the
concert at the Marlborough House last
night for the benefit of the First Pres

the fact that though the admission was

Every number on the artistic programme

The halls, parlors and dining rooms
were decorated with growing palms and
potted plants and roses and other cut
flowers lent their rich colors to the deco

The musicale was specially in charge
of Mrs. A. J. Cooke and Mrs. j. S. G.

in every respect.

UP GOES rae PRICE or SUGAR.
Who pays for the Sugar Trust steal
in the Dingley tariff bill?

Who pays for the Sugar Trust steal
in the Dingley tariff bill?
Why, THE PEOPLE, to be sure!
They always pay anu always VII!
nav for the robbery and misdoing OF
the corrupt politicians at Washington
who manage to fool them at the polls,
as they did so Sticky at the last cleo
ton.
Already the breakfast, dinner and
supper table feel the burden: for sugar
has advanced one-half a cent a pound
since the first Of this month, in an
ticipation of the new rates. The poor
man will have to be satisfied with the
inferior. adulterated and impure grades
Of sugar for his tea and coffee, or else
will have to pay the increased price
demanded by the Trust under cover OF
the new Republican tariff bill. In this
connection it is interesting and also
important to know that the Ohio State
Food Inspector has called attention to
the flooding of the market Win thls
adulterated and impure stuff, in his
last report.
But what care this trust-owned adj
ministration and Congress of boodlers
for the pockets of the people or for
their health? What do the people
amount to in the eyes Of the agents
of the bloated and illegal Sugar Trust?
Nothing. They are something to be
deceived at the polls and robbed be-
tween times. They were deceived
good and strong last November, and
the process Of robbery has now begun
It is nothing but open, shameless theft
under cover of law.
But the peoples eyes have long been
opened: and they will not be fooled
again by the same gang. The latter
know this and are making the most

last chance.

that the corn crop is ruined. Reports

mated at $4,000.

neighbor has wasted almost a week be-
fore shouting You're a liar!" at the
Register. and why it did not display
the energy to get the truth at first in
stead of clipping and rehashing from
the news Of its contemporaries and the
Register, whom it now has the supreme
gall to accuse of not publishing the
truth? If it were not the truth the
Intenigencer is doubly guilty, for it
not only published some Of this news
a day late-but stole it in the bargain.
The very newspapers which the old
hypocrite howls lOudest against on ac-
count Of sensationalism, that sheet scis-
sored right and left for West Virginia
strike news, publishing the same day
and sometimes two days late.
AS for the statement Of our neighbor
that the news which it failed to get
from the Fairmont region was not true,
we have against the unsupported testi-
mony of the Intelligencer, the word OF
a dozen newspaper men, Of experience,
who were there besides that Of the
Registers own representatives who
were on the ground gathering the news
and wiring it to this Office good and hot,
while the old hypocrite of Fourteenth
street was quietly snoozing the hours
away and thanking Heaven it never
INDUCED in anything so undignifed as
enterprise.
The party really guilty Of sensation
alism in connection with the strike news
is the InteIigencer. itself. We all re-
member the lurid stuff it published in
connection with the strike at Dillon
vale and which it sent out over the
country. That was a tissue of false
hood Of the most incendiary nature
without the least foundation in fact.
And this mass Of sensational rot was
hashed and rehashed by the Intelligen-
Ger day after day. This is the only
sensational news that was published
or sent out from this city. 1t may
cause wonder that the sleepy Intelli-
gencer was able to get even this news,
but it is explained by the fact Of its
agency for the Associated Press, which
footed the bills for the faxed news If it
had had to gather it for itself and foot
the bills out of it's own pocket as the
Register does, it might have escaped
this charge Of sensationalism, for in
that case it would have published moth
ing. The sensational misdoings Ofour |
neighbor will be found in detail else
where. It is a fine record for a sheet |
that pretends to abhor Sc .sationalism. !
The old hypocrite which is insanely
jealous of the Register on account of
its enterprise and Which it is foolishly !
to ediscredit, is caught in
its own trap. A few explanations of |
its Dillo1Fale news" are in order as
we'll az an apology to the Associated !
Press, before it INDUCES in any more
ak about sensationalism.
