VICTIMS OF COSTLY CONDITIONS

There is considerable complaint about
the service given at boarding houses,
the prices and the character Of the food.
There are many young men in Clarks.
burg who are homeless and necessarily
must be roomers and boarders. They, as
a rule, board at one place and room at
another. The room rent is high and
board is higher. Their salaries are or
binary. AS the consequence Of these
conditions, the landlord and the board.
ing house keeper get most Of the money
they earn. They do not like this, but
they are helpless, in fact, they are at
the mercy OF both landlord and the
keeper of boarding houses.
There ought TO be remedy for this.
The young man ought not to be com.
PEELED to waste his youth, the best pc.
Rod of his life, in eiing out mere
maintenance. His salary, or wages
should be commensurate with his ac.
tual living expenses, or the latter should
be reduced One should be in keeping
with the other, and he should have a
surplus looking toward a business of his
own after period of not more than ten
years. But the young man who works
for wages or salary in Clarksburg need
not have that hope so long as it costs
him 50 much to live and his wages are
not such as to meet that requirement
md afford him respectable and sub
stautial surplus.
The genius who win advance some
thing to successfully overcome this sit
nation without actual harm to any OF
the parties concerned will be regarded as
public bcncfactor by the young men

nor clothing, even no shelter, to protect
them from the storms of winter
So far here there are aid societies con
nected with some of the churches, but
tina. is hardly enough. There ought to be
public or general society, regulated in
all its appointments. There were times
in the past that people were actually
starving, and yet it was not publicly
known until the Telegram brought it to
attention, and then, every one is glad
to state, after due consideration, and
some one hard made an individual move,
the societies went to the rescue and
brought relief. But they do not keep
posted on matters of this kind and there
escape them many deserving in
stances. A general relief society would
do its work on different plan. Itwould
have regularly outlined work and a com
plete and perfect system. Then, in con
junction with the societies of the
churches, no case would escape atten-
ton and as consequence the work
would be ample and complete. The
winter promises to be very severe and
there will doubtless be considerable suf-
fering.
1t is timely to appeal to the people
to emulate other cities by organizing the
kind of society suggested here.

BUILDERS SEE ACTIVITY AHEAD

Prominent building contractors say
there is every assurance that much work
in their line will be done next year.
Especially is this true in the central
part of this state. Preparations are al.
ready being made for next years work.
They see no reason why great advance
ment may not be made the next twelve
months. They base their belief on the
plans of those who not only contemplate
the construction of more buildings, but
are also asking for bids and letting con.
tracts for buildings of the moSt sub
stantial nature and large magnitude.
Building operations have been found tc
be quite important in the marvellous
prosperity of this section, and of right
one should take them into considera-
ton, when forecasting the future. That
is exactly what contractors and build
ers have done, and in voicing the he
lief that next year will be good COM
mcrcially and industrially, they are not
far wrong, if at all. Importance should
attach to their estimate of the future
and so far as is possible, business men
should be governed to a considerable ex-
tent by it.

SLOT MACHINE SITUATION.


In a number of cities and towns in the
state preparations are being made to
re.install slot machines. In a number
Of others they were never taken out
and are running in full blast today. The
first named move is based on the recent
decision OF the supreme court on the
slot machine question but that decision
is not clear by any means. The most
important feature at this time is the
uniformity of the law on the subject.
II it prohibits slot machines, then it
should be enforced alike everywhere
in the state. The courts that allow
them to run are of the same class and
Standing so far as law is concerned as
the courts that will not let them be OPP
Grated, and it does seem that there
should be uniformity of duty imposed
On and required of all these courts. If
that duty is not performed, the court
fails to do its duty and the Judge should
be removed. On the other hand, if the
law does not say that slot machines are
gambling devices, no court in the state
la a right to attempt to punish the OPP
ontors Of these machines. Every Judge
ought to be able to know just what the
recent decision means and should gov
crn himself according to his understand
Ing Of it. At this particular time, for
the benefit of all concerned, the Judges
in the various districts ought to make
public their views Of the opinion and its
meaning, 50 that the people iii their
jurisdiction may know how to govern
along This line.

FOLLY OF ovER-zEAIoUsNEss.

The general sentiment OF the press
of this state is that the enterprisin2
editor of the Parkersburg Naws, who
was badly in need Of a news article whe,
in the national capital a few days agy
he flashed over the wires or rushed
through the mails an alleged interview
with Senator Elkins, in which he ha6
the senator declaring himself in favor Of
Scott's reelection, did Scots cause
more harm than god, In the first place
the article was so framed that the writer
did not make it clear tflt he himself
believed or knew that Elkins favored
Scott. He had Elkins saying that Ii,
was friendly toward Scott and toward
his recollection, but at the same time
this was followed by statement that
Elkins made no avowcd declaration in
Scotts favor. In other words, after
the ingenious editor had made it APP
pear that Elliins WAS for Scott, he in.
dulgel himself in expressions that al.
most, if not entirely, coutrplietcd the
previous assertion. There was con,id-
cradle mist about it all and the Tele,
gram took ii with a grain of salt. ii
was the opinion OF the Telegram at the
time the article appeared that it was
simply a story woven for sen5ationalism
and not as an accurate resume of actual
condition. The Telegram has no grounds
as yet to change its mind on the sub.
iect. Then Senator Elkins comes out in
a positive statement pronouncing the al.
legged interview Unauthorized and deny.
ing it almost in toto. This strength.
ened the belief OF the Telegram that
there was something fslry about the
original statement.
The senator's prompt denial Of the
statement has SET him right, but at the
same time The natural conclusion Is that
the incident has embarrassed Scott, and
it shows the folly Of oyer.zcaIou.ncss
on the part of his friends. The affair
is designed to bring about an cstrlugc.
mcut between Senator Elkins and SEA.
ator Scott, if it is pursued farther
From any other than the standpoint
OF a good news story, the publication
was unfortunate and without real ne
cessity. SCOTS friends do not need to
know at this time how Senator Elliins
stands. His campaign is progressin

Panama's unanimous adoption of the
canal treaty dcpriyes the opposition in
this country of some of its thunder. 1t
was preparing to allege that there might
be opposition and tricEery on the part
of the new republic, the same as deyeI-
oped in Colombia, but that has gone
skyward and the position Of the enemy
is greatly weakened. Panama showed
much foresight and sagacity in thus
coming to the aid of the advocates of
the canal and of the friends Of that new
government. Older governments are not
always so wise.

PANAMA IS eRAYEFUL.

The government OF Panama, the new
republic, is not ungrateful, neither is it
unwise, as shown by the whirSwind
manner in which the canal treaty was
ratified by its juTta. The people down
there are evidently very thankful to I'm
clc Sam for his prompt action in recog-
MIXING them as free and independent.
They are also Of the opinion that he is
to be trusted and viii not take advan-
tage Of them. Such gratitude and con
tidence will inure to Panama's great
benefit, and the day is at hand when
the relation OF father and son is exem.
plifed by these two Republics. IT is
gratifying, indeed, to the people OF the
United States that the little government
on the isthmus has acted 50 sensibly and
they have the hope that future relations
will be of muual benefit.

BAD FOR cIARRsBURe, IF TRUE

The general manager of the jackson
Iron and Tin plate company is author
ity for the statement that the tin plate
mills of this city will be moved from
Clarksburg to some point in the Ohio
valley. If the mills mad proven them
selves of any real value TO Clarksburg,
instead Of a drawback, this announce
ment would disturb local industrial and
commercial conditions. If that does ae.
tually occur, and it is the sincere hope
that it may not, the effect would be bad
in more ways than one. So long as the
mills are here there is hope that they
will be operated some day, and also an
eageness that that day be early. Again,
the fact that it was found necessary to
remove them would be hard blow to
Clarksburg and reflection on its I'D.
vantages and inducements, for which it
is noted at present. Such a movement
would be much deplored and would be
found quite injurious. 1t is to be sin
cerely hoped for Clarksburg's benefit that
the general manager may not have
spoken advisedly on this subject, ant
that the controversy between him ant
others interested in the enterprise may
be adjusted amicably and justly to all
concerned.
