IT has been suggested by leading
citizens who have the future of Clarks-
burg at heart that Traders alley be
widened and made one OF the principal
streets. There is no doubt that the
day is near at hand when the demand
will be that it be a business street. 1t
can net be IL left as it is. 1t is too
narrow and under the circumstances 1t
does not afford opportunity for the
erection of business houses along it,
Notwithstanding the fact that there
is plenty of space for business blocks.
A lot of building ground is practically
worthless,as it is,for building purposes
and is not being put to use. The mat
ter OF widening the alley is urgent.
The city council should appoint COM
mittee to confer with the property
owners about the matter. On account
of the Despard building on the South
side, the widening should be on the
North side, where the few buildings
are not very valuable. The property
owners could well afford to help pay
for enough property on the North
side to widen the street, as it would
give them valuable building lots. 1t
is only question of short time un-
til that alley will have to be widened
and now is the time to act.

LORD SALISBURY DEAD

Saturday Lord Salisbury the former
prime minister of England died after a
lingering illness. In him England
looses one of her greatest men and who
has done more for England than any
one now living.
Lord Robert Cecil, the MARQUIS Of
Salisbury, died at Hatfield in the house
where he was born and where he had
spent his long and busy life; where
another Lord Cecil entertained the
beautiful Queen Elizabeth in the six
teenth century he, too being Eng
lands prime minister
The late marquis was the fourth one
of his race TO rule the affairs Of the
British empire from that honorable
post in the shadow Of the throne.
The marquis was born Feb 3, 1880,
and was educated ut Christ's college,
graduating In 1S49. Four years later
he took his seat in parliament and for
the past fifty years he has been figure
in British politics. For thirty five
years he was statesman Of cabinet
rank and for the past quarter OF IA cen.
tury unquestionably the greatest figure
in the world politics, with an experience
in the affairs of nations unequaled by
any of his contemporaries To his
knowledge and diplomacy is due the
general success of Great Britain in dis.
putes OF the past thirty years, and to
his judgement its comparative freedom
from war.
He married young and entirely
against his fathers wishes; then being
partially disinherited, for years his
life was almost bread and butter
struggle. Long nights in the house were
succeeded by busy mornings at the
desk, writing for magazines the articles
which maintained his modest establish
ment. Great Britain has reason to
to thank those early strenuous days
In the education Of her premier.
They taught him his own strength and
