The grand opening of the ParsOus-Sou-
ders company,s new department store in
the Jacobs building on West Main street
this Afternoon was the event of the sea-
SON. The doors of this new store opened
promptly at 2 o'clock in the afternoon

and the management had requested tns I
everyone personally attend and lend their
presence in making the event the grand
est IN the history of merchandising in
claeksburG Music, souvenirs and u
good time we're assured.
II. is needless to say that crowds Of
people focked to the store and beheld a
modern metropolitan department store,
the largest and bandsomest in clarls-
burg. The arrangement Is simply su-
perb and the appointments perfect.
Many shoppers not accustomed to city
stores, behcd the interior of this mag
nidcent store with amazement and mono
visited it except to admire it in all it,
granducr.
The building is one of the most mod
ernly arranged in America and none in
the country excel it in any particular
for the purpose for which it is intended.
Mr.. Jacobs is very correctly enthusiastic
over IT, and has spared neither pains nor
cost to make it business block, which
is monument to the enterprise CT
Clarksburg.
The interior passes an description ani
the touches of the artist are in evidence
everywhere. The fittings are strictly
modern and quite expensive. It presents
picture of rare beauty and thrills all
who have an eye for the artistic. Ex-
pressions of delight come from all who
behold it.
The company which occupies the build.
ing is composed of several of the eity's
most enterprsing citizens, with unlini-
ted means. Connected with the store are
men of experience in the mercantile bus
mess and who lead in their line. They
have record known to the people, one
of which all may wei be proud. Adapt
ed to the work, they know nothing hut
success and have never had anything
else. They have brought into the under
taking their knowledge, genius and ex-
perience and as a result have a magniS-
cent, awe-inspiring emporium, the supc-
rior Of which is not found in many of tic
larger cities. It is a proud moment for
ClarIsburg to realize that such a store
now exists in the liveliest city in the
state, but it is only such as Clarksburg
deserves and win maintain.
The opening this afternoon is as grand
as the store itself. Every one is highly
pleased and is proud of the opportunities

ening than during the afternoon. Those

invitation to all to come and inspect The
store from top to bottom. No goods win

/
exclusively to receiving visitors ar4

partments and extending greeting,

THE GREAT SPEECH
BY JOE FOLK OF ST. LOUIS
Delivered at New Florence, Mis-
souri, to a Large Crowd
of Sturdy Farmers
EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE STAND FOR
Two f1onrs in Drcnchns Rain to Hear
Him Roast the Legislative Thieves and
Political Snysters In Office.
EIGHT THOUSAND PEOPLE STAND FOR

Joseph w. Folk, Prosecuting Attorn-
ey of ST. Louis, made Il great speech at
New Florence, Montgomery county.
.ielOw are given few of the scathing
sentences Of the speech:
Through ignorance of existing con-
ditions the people may innocently go
wrong, but federation of known abuses
is criminal.
These conditions are the outgrowth
Of the commercialism of our times.
Political commercialism has taken the
places in many mems minds of patrio-
ism.
There must be revival of civic
iifairS.
Public Office i, held too often merely
Is means of earning Il Livelihood much
,asier than in private life.
Doesn't 1t seem strange that IL free
people should elect thieves to be the
makers of thier law?
The honor of the State has been ped
He'd around by the seekers of the bride, S
IN return for official influence.
These revelations should bring the
blush of shame to honest citizens for
having permitted such state of af-
fairs to exist.
There are many problems confronting
he American people today, but there
IS none more serious than the subject
of the eradication of bribery.
Bribery undermines the foundation of
government.
Bribery, if allowed to 90, would he
fatal to the civic life of any people.
Exposure and punishment of public
plunderers is States honor, not its
shame. The disgrace is in tolerablc,
not in correction.
1t is of course humiliating to know
hat 50 much corruption has gone ON 50
long without hindrance, but it is more
patriotic to apply the knife of the law
20 the cancerous growth, than by toler-
NICE to allow it to eat into and destroy
civic life.
The eyes of the world are on
Missouri to see what the people of
Missouri are going to do about it. After
til these exposures there can be no
honorable concliation. Every citizen
must either march under the flag of
lecency or the banner of iniquity.
Elect to your General Assembly only
men of known integrity. Men not pass
vely honest, but aggressively honest.
Many men can be honest actively, but
we need in legislative affairs men who
IAN be honest in action.

The greatest orators, poets. states
men and lawyers have all been notice
for their familiarity with the Scriptures
There is not book of the bible thai
is not full of the finest phrases anC
most powerful expressions.
Single verses are gems. What car
be more beautiful than the ninth verse
of the Both Psalm:
For with thee is the fountain of life
in thy light shall we see light
Take the first chapters in the book
of Genesis; they contained inspirations
to revive our degenerated schools o.
rhetoric and grammer.
One of the first moral promises and
inJunctions is unto the human race to
be fruitful and multiply, to bring forth
abundantly.
We are told that the first human
beings knew not evil-that they were
naked and not ashamed. Such moral
attitude is incomprehensib now.
What power of language is containe1
in the excuse of Mother Eve-pool
frail mortal that she was: "The ser
pent beguiled me and did eat
Study the meaning of that word be-
guided. She does not say deceived, or
argued but beguiled. 1t has no syn
onym.
There is a splendid estimate of man
hood in the description of Noah, as "a
just man and perfect in his generation. "
There is fine resonance in the verse
where we are told Of the "mighty men
of old, Men of Renown." 1t was not
an age of pigmy intellects.
Taken altogether, the description OF
the flood and the preparations for it, il
an unequalled piece of good reporting
There is not a salaried story writer IN
the world today can equal it from IA
literary or journalistic standpoint.
The story is complete and there il
nothing lacking, even to the iluttering
dove that was sent out and returned,
finding no rest.
The conclusion of that story of build
ing the ark, putting in the animals and
the people, is one of gems of dramatic
literature.

They Take Orders in the Rural
Districts for Order Houses
on the Pacific Coast
FILL THE ORDERS AT THE LOCAL STORES
They Charge an Exorbitant Prices for Infer
ior Goods Made by Adulteratins
the Real Article Avoid Them

Agents who claim that they are re-
presenting reliable houses in Portland
and Seattle are working IA clevei
scheme to defraud the Farmers.
Their game is to call on them and in
troduce themselves as representing /
certain company, and solicit orders TO
Tea, Coffee, Spice etc.
After the agent has obtained a good
ly supply of orders he returns to thu
city to have them filled. AS a matter
of fact he has been sent out by an un
Scrupulous house to sell their good,
under special brand
These goods are of such inferior anC
and aduterated stuff as to be unfit foi
human consumption.
The orders for the coffee are filled al
wholesale cost of ID cents pound
the farmer paying 30 cents per pound.
profit of ~ cents on every pound, OF,
800 for every p pound order Or
derS for spices and extracts are filled
in the same proportions.
1t is an easy graft to work, for the
farmer has "a foolish old fashioned no
ton that he is being overcharged by
the local merchant of his town, and
thinks he has an opportunity ito get
back.
AS a matter of fact it is pernicious
form of highway robbery. For not
only is the farmer robbed but the local
merchant is defrauded of the trade that
legitimately belongs to him.
The money that riThtfully belongs to
the community and town is taken away
from it.
The harm done is unlimited. We
can only warn those interested to watch
out for these wolves in disguise.
Buy your staples from reliable
house, buy a reliable brand and rest as
sured that the articles you get there
are pure and wholesome and that
money has been spent on their produc-
ton.
These "hy by nights" boX-car OPP
orators or what ever you chose to call
them, are easily recognized for, like

confidence of his long list of patrons

Uncle Bill dropped in on his old ac
acquaintance J. b. Crane the genera
blacksmith and wheelwriught, to have
tires set and shrunk on his farm wagon
He evinced much anxiety aud seemed
IA little bit puzzled at first to see the
"HendersOn" cold tire setter, where q
tire is shrunk and set without being
removed from the wheel at all, hence
making quicker, cleaner and better
job by this new process.
"Say Uncle Bill, we've been here
now close on to Il month, and am anx-
ious to read some of the papers pub
lished in Elensburg. You have lived
here long time and ought to be a
iudge as the most reliable and up

recommend to rs now"
"That right, certainly can. For
up-to-date news, fresh and reliable as
readable, you want THE ELLENSBURG

started here years ago it was not larger
than Il postage stamp, but grace, grit

it is among the largest papers of the
county. 1t is very popular with all
classes: it is bold and fearless, on any
stand it may take and it is not afraid to
take a stand on any question that comes
up. 1t is conservative and yet in Il way
radical 1t has larger circulation
than any other paper published in the
county. That's not all that commends
THE DAWN to the people, for it is Il
very common remark in this county:
''if you see it in THE DAWN it is true
and ''if YOU don't get The DAWN you
don't get the news" Dear children
there is great difference in papers,
some are simple newsless papers, but

The failure of our educational insti-

Judge from western city, professor
from Boston and a United States SEN

became their age and honors, they ad-
dressed each other by the titles which
belonged to their several stations. But
they had been schoolmates, and when
the senator told a story Of school days
the accumulated ice of forty years
thawed in a burst of laughter, and they
were John and Bill and Horace once

their stories:
"Bin, do you remember breaking the
steers?" laughed Horace.
Nov, that's between you and me,

mircd in the swamp and was killed.
Bill wasn't going to miss the fun Of

he yoked himself up with the one that

yelled between gasps: Stop US! Stop
US! We're running away l cornered
them IN an angle of the wall. AS soon
as Bill got breath enough he said, For
