Grille as mayor of clarksburg has had
no boss. He has been independent in
all his actions. There have been in
stances in council when he took issue
with the Republican members and join
ed with the Democratic members, because
he thought the Republicans had the
wrong view of the measures under con-
sideration and that the Democrats vert
in the right in those particular instances.
There has not been single instance in
his official career that he did not do
what he thought was the right thing, re-
CARELESS of consequences. If Primm were
elected mayor, it is believed by many
that he would be dictated to and that he
would really be agurehead and that an
other. who has never done anything for
ClarEsburg and never viii, would be
mayor in reality. Grille certainly has the
better of it in that particular, and the
people admire him for his independence.

other bravely faced all criticism that
might follow and enlisted in the labor

showed that he believed in organized la
Dor and was its friend. It is up to the

There is one thing certain, if the edi-

he would not be in COLLISION with certain
elements, especially the elements which
he assaulted, when they dared talk or
gained labor to his employees. The fell

do not stand back at little hypocrisy.
They can fight hard one month to have
the agitators and labor organizers thrown
into a dungeon and the next month, when
organized labor can be of use to them. they
can profess warmest friendship for them.

The man who appreciates the fact that
clarksburg is a city now win not argue
that the green grass ought to grow in
the middle of the streets. He will not
have the idea that the speakeasy system
is better than the saloon. He will not
take it into his head that everything
must be sleepy and that the moss.back
can reign supreme. Appeals Of that sort
are being made to the people, under the
c7,ise that labor wants 50 and so but
the persons at the bottom of the whole
business are men who want the city TO go
back to the days when a man who had
the opportunity to get drink never
quit until he was drunk, fearing that he
would not be lucky, or unlucEy, enough
to get another that day. That some of
these fellows have a private bottle at

The News is greatly in love with the
labor unions Just at present. The latter
have not forgotten, or at least should
not forget, the attitude that paper took

assault was made on that occasion upon
the organizer and next day organized Ia
Dor was denounced in bitterest terms
through the columns of the News. Again,
when the call was issued for strike
among the coal miners, or about that
