THEY MUST BE FED.

A drunken man is yanlied up by the
city and fed. No one is asked to pay
his board; the city does that. Ii he ha
the coin, the payment Of his fine may
cover his board. But If Me has no money
the city pays the bill, BY getting drunk
he does a willful act, lie is more or less
deliberate about it. On the other hand
if a man gets the smallpox, it is pro
posed that he be made prisoner witt.

must board himself, or some one else
must look after him. The city does no.,
propose to do anything toward his sup
port or to look after his interests. All.
it talks about doing is to keephim pris
oner. Yet it was not his fault that hhe
got smallpox. lie did not do it wilIfully.
Why should he pay the penalty OF hi,
misfortune! Why should the man who
gets drunk and does it willfully and
without excuse be fed, while the mar

not much logic in making such a dis
function. The fact is that every tim,
the city puts man under quaantins
or imprisons him, it is its duty to Sc,
that his temporal welfare is looked at
ter. 1t is true that if higher authoii
ties are entitled to foot the bill they
should do 50, and they can be made d
it, but the city should not shirk it,
duty, il it does not make those author
tiles do it. Every quarutned person
in this city must be fed and must have
proper medical attention, no matter how
much it costs. They are citizens of
Clarksburg and as suoh are entitled to
every protection that the city laws give.
The act Of quarantine, As understood
by THE city council, is to protect citi-
zens who have not taken the disease.
That, in fact, is only part Of its mean
ing, The man who is quarantinel hag,
just as much right to be protected As
the one who is free from quarantine. The
council should not overlook this fact.
and no mercenary inclination should in.
ducc that body 10 think otherwise. Tie
man who is quarantined has no right
to pay taxes to defray the cost OF the
quarantine over him, if he is to have
no protection whatever. Men who arc
free from disease of this sort have no
right to demand that ne shall help pay
for protecting them from the disease
which came to him without his solicita-
ton and without his willingness. 1t
must be remembered that city has no
moral right to lock man up and then
refuse to feed him.

ABOUT 9HE IoBB1Ne rRApE.

The Daily Telegram presents its read,
ers today with some heretofore unreal
lied facts about the Wholesale trade in
the city Of olarksburg. There are sew.
eral points in the article that probably
have been overlooked by the average
person. Not many know that clarks
burg is the second city of the state in
the jobbipg trade, Not many realize the
benefit a community derives from the 10.
cation of concerns of such magnitude.
Wheeling may be the first city in the
state in this regard, but there is a mat
ter OF grave doubt about it, and if the
metropolis doesn't prove her assertion
that she is the first city, clarksburg will
be given the first place.

COUNCIL ON PIGS.

1t is getting just a little late for the
city council to talk about repeating the
hog law. If that was the intention, it
should have been done earlier, SO that
we could have bought our pigs sooner.
The city council may not know it, but
at this season in the year pigs come
high, Most every one has to have at
least one pig. They are a good deal like
iogs-a man of the house wants a dog
to look after, and the queen of the
household is at loss, if there is no
pig TO look after. OF course, there are
exceptions. For instance, pug dog Of
ten takes the place OF a pig, But, Sc,
-iously, the council should have repealed
The ordinance before this, if it was its
intention to do so, in order that pigs
could have been bought at reasonable
price and while they were plentiful.

GENERAL STAFF BILL IS
ADOPTED IN THE HOUSE
Senate Fixes Rank OF Certain Officers in

eress This Day.
nY AssoCIArEp PRESS.

Washington, Feb. I,.-In the house to-
day the conference report on the bill to
create general staff in the army was
adopted.
After some further routine business OF a
minor character the house went into COM
mttee of the whole and resumed the fur
thcr consideration OF the surdry civil ap-
preparation bill
The senate went into executive session
today soon after meeting, but some routine
business was transacted.
A bill was passed fixing the rank OF GER
tain officers in the army. 1t provides that
any second lieutenant in the United States
marine corps who may have been appoint
ed second lieutenant of artillery since
February 2, 1901, shall receive credit for
prior service as a lieutenant OF volunteers.
Mr.. McComas gave notice that he would
call up the eight-hour bill at the earliest
opportunity, which brought from Mr. Quay
the statement that until the senator from
Maryland and those obstructonists behind
him. consent to the fixing of day when
Q vote can be taken on the statehood bill,
hc would oppose any action on the eight
hour bill.
Att a:2s o'clock, on motion of Mr.. Cul-
lom, the senate went into executive ses-
sion.
Immediately after the senate went into
executive session today Senator Pettus
moved to reconsider the vote by which the
senate yesterday ratified the Alaskan boun-
dairy treaty Senator Lodge moved to lay
the motion on the table and the latter mo-
aion prevailed, sc to rs, There was very
little debate on the motion.

The Supply OF Timber.

The scientific men are always coHtribu-
ting 10 our anxictics. This winters cx-
pcricnce has given people sharp ioreiastc
OF thc conditions TO be- when the coal sup
ply is exhausted and the experts have
done some figuring on the date when
exhaustion will come. In the present lack
OF coal thousands have resumed the use oi
wood. Professor Fcrnow of Cornell uni
versity now tells MS that the timber supply
OF the land will be used up long before the
coal can be. Indeed, he allows but 90
years longer for the country 10 have
supply that will meet the demand. Posi-
bly,, he says the substitution of other mate
rial for wood III many cases may give the
forests a little longer life. but not for many
years. What rs TO be done lie recon-
mends that no time DC lost in taking steps
to replace the forests, and in the meantime
he would have the duties on every kind Of
timber removed in order 10 draw as much
as possible from other countries while our
own is growing. Herein is "A suggestion

the wood lot, but cherish it and start new

New Paint for British Warships.


Few more, probably of the Owners" Of
the feet are aware that the cost of paint
ing each ship amounts to no less than
thousand pounds. Before the Channel
squadron goes to sea again all the ships
are to be painted French gray the new
regulation color which has, after much
experiment, been recently adopted for the
Royal navy. The ships of the Mediter-
ranean squadron are also to be painted
the new color by April next. Hitherto
our warships have had black huls, white
upper-worSs, and yellow tunnels, with oc-
casionally a red band on the water line.
The new color is obtained by a mixture
of six pounds OF white paint with II
ounces of black. A naval writer recently
remarked that there is no such thing as
a naval khaki, save it be like Joseph's
coat of many colors. The military author
tiles have lately been painting our guns
in alternate stripes Of red, yellow and
blue, and the result is that they are less
distinguishable than if they are painted
all over with one color. Perhaps we shall
have to paint our battleships with the
same three colors, though, from an artis-
tic point Of view, such proceeding
would be deplorable.

Forsyth, Feb. Is.-Sheriff Charles Davis,

with notice by Robert J. Guy democratic
candidate for county sheriff at the recent
election, with quo warranto proceedings

board of canvassers to have received 900
votes The board then proceeded to ap-
point Guy to fill the supposed vacancy The

tie vote the old officials held over, and
Sheriff Davis has been discharging the
duties OF his office since that time.
The board then met and again ap-
pointed Guy. He has not attempted TO
gain possession OF the office since the sec
ond appointment and has now started the

however, that Upton has given orders for
a small model TO be built at once, along

Should Sir Thomas adopt this plan it

that he would leave the building OF his
