Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1903-12-29

1t Is Claimed that sure Ou 'lDeS'
barometer for any city Is Its holt
day trade, that Is, If the sales OF
goods during the holiday season IS
good It's sure sign the city Is pros
porous. but If slack and not up to
the usual mark Its a certain indica-
ton that business has gone back
ward, There Is no doubt about this
being true. People who are pros
porous are usually generous md
spend money freely. Pittsburg
merchants report the holiday bust
ness nearly one half less than 1t was
In 1902. The cause Is attributed
to so many people b Ing purchasers
of steel stock which has decreased
80 much In value with no hopes Of
1t ever being better.
We are pleased to know that an /.
der this rule Sistersville shows
marked increase In business. One
firm last year the day before Xmas
did a ve,Y nice and satisfactory
business. At night the cash
drawers showed the sales to be
$3.50. Last Thursday night the
same firm had $500 when the days
work was done. Another firm
tells Us they not only did a
large business during the holidays
but had the largest trade they ever
had In the history of their. business
Another firm reports an increase
trade of 50 per cent over any other
year. All say we are more than
satisfied. We only heard one firm
complain bat they do not advertise
and could hardly hope to increase
their business. They ought to be
thankful th " have any tr d at al.
There is no doubt but what every
business house In the city had a
decidedly increased business over
1922. This shows that our city Is
improving, more people are here
and come here to buy goods than
ever did before. 1t demonstrates
the fact that money Is plenty here
and Its still the best city In the
Ohio Valley or In the State Of
West Virginia to do business In.
There Is no doabt about that what.
ever. The street car line brings
many a dollar to our city that
would not be spent here If we had
no road. When the plants begin
to run In Paden City we will have
many more customers. We will have
many new ones ftom Sardis, Brook
Ign and New Martinsville next
year. The road out inithe country
and down the river will add many
more customers to our city. We
have had splendid year mere dur.
Ing 1892 but the coming year will
be many times better. There Is
no doubt about this at all. We
hear no complaints about dull
times here. Everything Is prosper
Gus. When the oil market gets
settled once so people will sell their
oil at least a million dollars worth
of oil now In the pipe lines will be
sold. That means easy money. 1t
will enable the banks to furnish
loans to all who may wish to branch
out In bu>iness. We have bright
future before Us and we fully ex-
pect big boom In 1904
The Review will try and do Its
very,b to induce new business
enterprises. We need more houses
here. We need more manufactur-
Ing plants and we want all to work
to advertise Our advantages to get
new enterprises here. Try and
speak good word for Sistersviile
whenever you can and have an op.
portunity to do so.

the situation in delaware. Would itnot
be well for some Of our big dailies 70 con-
slider this phase Of lynchings before they
launch their anathemas? When q lynch
ing has happened she deed Is done and no
amount OF censure OF the lynchers can
undo il It occurs to Us that itwould Be
the part Of wisdom TO denounce in the
strongest terms the crime which induced
the lynching and TO poihtto Uncertainty
OF its punishment either under the forms
Of law, or at the hands Of oar outraged
people, as DETERRENT to similar crimes,
and. at the same time. to deplore the
lynching, and urge and advise that the
law be always allowed to takeits due and
orderly course. We commend this
thought to the consideration OF those Of
our contemporaries who seem to become
so Mortified at every lynching that they
apparently forget the crime which pre-
cened and begot the lynching.

DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET.

The above candidates were unani-
mously nominated at noon today by the
Democratic City Convention. for the re-
spective Offices ofMayor. Counsellor and
Aldermen, to be voted for at the muni-
cipal election to be held in this city on
July 9Th, 1908.
Col. Luther H. Gadd. the head Of the
ticket, was the candidate for the same
Office two years ago. He is well known
TO every citizen, having been for num-
Der Of years one Of the proprietors Of the
Hotel Maryland. and his genial and
affable manners have won for him hosts
Of friends. and if elected would make a
popular Mayor.
Capt Hugh r. Riley, the candidate
for Counsellor, is a graduate Of St
Johns College and the Maryland Uni
versity Law School, and has filed other
offices of honor and trust. having served
his county as a member of the Legisla'
ture some years ago, and II elected,
would make an efficient and painstalSing
counsellor Of the board.
The nominees for Aldermen are men
OF integrity, business qualification and
taxpayers. and if elected will no doubt
look well to the city's interest. Messrs.
Williams and Thompson. of the Second
Ward. are men of experience in city leg.
islation. and their denomination is an
endorsement OF their past action and is
equivalent to their election.
Messrs. Martin and Strange. candi.
dates of the First Ward. are new men
for Aldermen's hono-s. but they are
both good business men and would make
good city officials. and are worthy of the
support of their party.
Messrs. DOW and Basil. candidates OF
the Third Ward, are both men of ex-
perience in legislation. having served in
former boards, and would make useful
officials if elected; but unfortunately, re-
siding in the black belt, and Republi-
can stronghold. they are leading fore
lorn hope, and their nominations will
only be to them an empty honor. But
they should be honored the more for it.
Taking the ticket as whole. it is a rep
resentative one and is worthy the united
support Of the party.

THE CRIME WHICH BEGErs LYNCH.
ING.

From Maryland Republican.
The daily newspapersfort the past three
or four days have beenfull of the particu-
lars of the lynching OF the negro White,
for the rape and murder of Miss Bishop,
and of the incidents subsequent thereto.
As usualin these cases numerous homilies
have been preached against the crime OF
lynching and, so wrought up have some
of the preachers OF these homilies be-
come, that they seem not only to have
forgotten the terriblecrime committed by
the brute upon Miss Bishop, which was
too horrible TO be published in all its re.
voting details, but to have exalted the
brute 10 the place of amartyr. Theoret-
ically, law and order should be maintain
ed and upheld at all times. The world
would be ideal If such We're the case and
human government would be perfect.
But all history teaches US that this ideal
condition is impossible ofrealization and
that the best of human government is
very far from perfect. Crime has always
existed and willcontinue. Society is doing
what it can to prevent and punish crime,
and, as a rule, the elements, the men and
women, who make up society, arecontent
to leave the prevention and punishment
of crime to the orderly processes establish
ed sor these purposes.
But occasionally, like this Della
xrorxa rrsn,o n arsp,a ,,ao.,~a <bo& =
NO horrible that society, government and
law are all forgotten and brushed aside
for the moment, or until vengeance is had.
Ii may be that hecondemnations hurled
at lynchings and lynchers may eventually
lead to an end of lynchings, but, II they
do, it win, evidently, not be soon. Had
we not then better look the situation
squarly in theface7 Had we not betterbe
more shocked at the crime than at the
lynching it begets7 Had we not better
thunder at the crime and be a little mild
er in our condemnations of the avengers?
Would not the cause of society, of law
aud order be better served by such a
course? If any good results have been
accomplished by the oppositecourse, they
arenotapparent. The lynchings go on
and show no abatement, particularly for
the. crime of which the negro White was
guilty. 1t used to be said thatlynchings
for this crime wereeonfined to the South,
but it now seems that men are pretty
much the sameeverywhere in ourcountry
ana that a negro brute like White is GER
tain of lynching, wherever his crime may
be committed. One immediate effect OF
the severe condemnation OF the lynchers
in a case like the Delaware one and the
apparent over looking Of the brute's crime
is to stillfurther arouse the people and to
set one race against the other, as is now
