fearful catastrophe was narrowly

Just east of the bridge that crosses the

quick action of Motorman Grin Flow

would have proved shocking to all

when Mr.. Flowers exercised his usual
presence of mind and saved the lives
Of passengers on his street car, as well

he also backed, and the car struck the

carriage became greatly alarmed for
their safety, but the passengers on the
car grew uneasy, lest the car shoTld
leave the track and an awful accident
follow. But, fortunately, this did not
occur,t due mostly to the strenuous and
successful efforts of the motorman in
stopping the car The conductor, John

not take up the other side, tell who they

that they are guilty of indulging in such

There are many ways of looking at
the tax commission business. One of
these is shown by the Parkersburg Sen.
tinel's comment on Hubbard's speech on
the quetion before the Editorial associa-
ton at Charleston last week. The Sen.
tinel says, .sThe burden of the argument
seems to be that taxes should be lifted
from the corporations and property own
ers and put on the consumers" And yet
there are other papers which say Hub
bard is Il great and wise man because he
is fighting the corporations. To say
the least, these attitudes bring much
confusion to the average reader, and,
by the time he gets through with them
he docs not know where he is.

A COMPARISON.

The last issue of the Daily News was
n very interesting one. 1t was about as
near nothing as a daily newspaper can
get. The News has been on the bad
for some time. But to show how bad
it really is, comparison of IT'S hast is
sue with the last edition of the Daily
Telegram should be made. The Demo
cratic shoes interesting qualities could
then be exhibited to a more forcible ex-
tent
Saturday the Daily Telegram printed
in its local news columns sixty-two To-
cal news items, or stories, as they are
called in journalistic parIance. OF these
three were clippings, and as they were
of a local iIIvoring. were, of course. le-
Ultimate items. Included in this count
of sixty-two were three popular features,
covering in a thorough and complete
manner, society column, department
devoted to stock market reports In
personal items and two columns of cd
itorials, were not taken III. The latter
is not necessary, for the News never had
any real editorials.
The Daily News in that same days
edition contained altogether fifteen local
news items. Nine of these were clipped
from state newspapers, and of these
nine only one or two were of any local
interest whatever That makes iifty-
nine local stories for the Daily Tele-
gram and six for the Daily News.
And we haven't said thing of the
kilograms popular eolored comic and
fashion supplement, which is so much
enjoyed by the women and children.
Saturdays issue of the Daily News
was indeed a grotesque and luyiicrous
a burIesque upon journalism. Not only
was Saturdays edition rank, but all re-
cent editions of that pubIica ton haze
been. TO indulge in little slang, on the
hog.
The purport of daily local newspaper
is to convey intelligence of current
events, especially a complete record Of
the happenings of the community which
it represents; to express some specific
opinion or view, reflect the general move
ments of the community and to stand
as q representative medium for the peo-
pie of that community.
The efforts of the Daily News of late,
although they all are of serious inten-
ton, are so fatuitous and feeble as to
cause one to resent it's posing as me
dium representative Of mstling. en-
ergetic and active community such as
the city of Clarksburg is.
1t is matter of qualification that
there is one daily newspaper in Clarks-
burg that contains a full and complete
record of the current local happenings.
4 citizen should be proud to send such
a newspaper out of the city to strangers
or prospectors. If it represents thor
oughIy and truthfully the condition of
affairs in the community, its publica-
tion will be a benefit and profit to all.
The Burlesque Sheet ought to be de-
clared nuisance to the advancement
and prosperity of the city and should
be 50 regarded.
The trouble is, the Daily News STAFF
of ncwsgatherers is incapable of getting
out daily newspaper.

1t is but fair and right that all cor
porations or business concerns should
pay their just proportion of taxes, but
ahere are many who are not in this class,
who are the real tax-dodgers. If they
md all others will give an honest ac-
counting Of their property, there will be
little occasion, if any, to howl for tax
reform, and it will be observed that some
who are engaged in the movement for
tax reform are among those who do not
pay their just proportion of tax, because
they are dishonest in giving in their
property to the assessor.

The tax commission is cxtoIcd by SONS
for the great wisdom of its members,
and yet they admit in the same breath
that the commission made the awful mis-
take of not including the railroads in the
corporations which it is proposed to tax,
a. they say If the committee made
such a bIundcr as this, why should it
not be mistaken in many other things.
And. again, This committee forgets the
very thing that the alleged tax reform
crs profess to be after so earnestly. The
object of the movement is to tax the
railroads more, if their argument and
declarations mean anything and yet the

omitted it altogether. There is some
thing rotten in Denmark. and why should
