This is business, and business is war.
This Is commerce, this is competition;
It is war and strife, do not say that
this is moral, it is immoral But don't
tell me that II the men at the cross
roads had more power they would not
use 1t to their own advantage"
About the time, that these words
were uttered the supreme court Of the
state handed down an opinion, In
which all the Judges concnrred, de-
claring that Governor Hoch's pet law
appropriating money to establish a
branch penitentiary and state oil re-
finery to be operated together was
unconstitutional
The governor In approving this bill
had remarked that it was such rad
ical departure from governmental
precedent that 1t seems wise to put
upon the records clear statement Of
the provocation and the purpose of this
undertaking SO that our action
is clearly defined and thoroughly I'M
derstood at home and abroad" This
led the court to say sarcastically:
The construction of penal institutions
is not radical departure from gov
ornamental precedent. The 'provoca-
ton for maintaining such institutions
is known to ell persons. Besides. what

subject Of our. penal Institutions that
for their benefit our action should be
clearly def1ned? The Indictment Of
the Standard Oil company is no doubt
true and the provocation was very
great, but
I'VE must not make scarecrow of
the law
Setting it up to fear the birds of
prey"
Between the supreme courts law
and Mr.. Jerome's sense the Kansas
political or economic sentimentalists
got pretty bad jolt yesterday.

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING BEST

Chase's theatre in Washington. D..
c., one of the most popular and sue
cessful amusement houses in that city
will not be advertised through the
medium of the billboard in the future.
Newspapers, which have always been
used by Mr.. Chase, will carry his ad-
vertising from now on. In taking this
action the Washington manager is fol-
lowing the example set by the manag-
ers of many concerns of similar nature
and larger scope The largest circuses
for instance, will pin their faith more
to newspapers this year than ever be-
fore, something hitherto unheard Of.
The Washington Star, commenting
upon the change to be inaugurated by
the Chase theatre management, says:
Doubtless this (billboard) form of
advertising served its purpose in the
days when newspapers were not as ex-
tensively circulated and read as they
are today. But the management OF
Chase's believes that the recent i'm
mense strides of the newspapers, es-
pecially the interesting and mammoth
Sunday editions has left the billboards
wholly out of competition as publicity
AS d lldlLSl VI ldCI, Tic
boards which in the beginning were
entirely devoted to theatrical advertis-
ing, have in recent years been enlarg-
ed to provide space for vast amount
of commercial advertising, fashioned
and colored in such way as at a
glance to deceive the public into the
belief that 1t appertained to the the
aires. in this way hoping to gain a
share Of the public attention given to
theatre, posters.
Theatrical managers have protest
ed against this but without avail, as
the bill posting companies have con-
sidered that the boards are necessity
to the theatres and that in conse-
quence no manager would have the to-
merity to carry his objections to the
point of depriving himself of this form
of publicity, however much he may
consider it encroached upon and d.
verified from it's proper field by the
commercial posters.
This action will be hailed with sat
lsfaction by the citizens who, for
year or two, have opposed billboards
and introduced legislation tending to
restrict their usurpation of vacant
spaces. That they are public nuis-
ance in SO far as they obtrude their in
artistic announcements upon the eye
sight in almost every direction of
vision cannot be questioned"

alIspieiously, with dark clouds and

STAR COURSE
HAS OPENED
BRILLIANTLY

'You saw stars is generally an
accepted slang phrase, but it was a
most emphatic truth last night to a
select audience of Clarksburg peo-
pie who had gathered at the court
house for the opening entertainment
of the y. NJ. G. A Stellar Course Of
course they expected to e stars, but
these were without question of the
first magnitude, such as are only
seen at rare intervals
Miss jeanette Broomell showed
rare talent in her numerous and var
ious readings and captfvated the
house with her charming personals
itv. Her rendition of the child
story, s'Edith's Burglar by Frances
HddgSon Brunette, was exquisite
and it will be a long time before her
reading ssThe Last Day of School,
will be forgotten. The air was
ringing with encores after every Sc
lection and Miss Broomell has won
her wav into the hearts of the
CIarksburg people for all time.
Miss Helen B. Reed, harpist, also
entranced the audience. An at
tractive Young woman sitting by her
beautiful instrument, playing the
most exquisite melodies with the
touch and finish of true artist, was
indeed a most. attractive feature OF
the program and one which the
patrons of the course thoroughly APP
preciated.
Miss MeCauley varied the pro
gram with her beautiful rich con-
tralto voice and her selections were
exactly what could be understood
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Y.
NJ. G. A. under whose management
the star course is being run this win
ter, felt they had reason to c%ongratu-
late themselves upon the brilliant
opening of this seasons course.
Only one thing more is needed to
make them perfect-a nice, large;

convenient hall in a new Y. NJ. 9.

such a hail next season?

HALLOWEEN
PROCLAIMED.
BY MAYOR

Next Tuesday, the 31st of October
viii be Halloween, or All Saints
Day. In ancient days the chief
symbol of Halloween was the light
ing of bonfires in each household,
but of later years this feature is
ceased to be observed. On this day
the fairies are supposed to be un-
usually active and propitious. 1t
is considered a good time to forecast
the future, especially in affairs OF the
heart, to which many a young maid
en-, and Others not SO young, could
testify if they would.
While the young ladies remember
the festival principally in trying to
discover their future husband, the
ubiquitous small boy is not to be
denied or overlooked. True to ma
tUrre the boys celebration take a
more violent form. disappearing
and belaboring each other with
stockings filed with flour is consid-
cred de rigeur. Throwing corn
and cabbage stalks at inoffensive
doors and windows find great favor.
Removing shutters and gates, and
c~oncelling them, is voted the proper
thing. Changing signs, so that a
dentist is discovered to be q black
smith. and a miIliner is selling hard
ware. is considered a browning touch
of humor.
The boys have had their fun on
Halloween from time immemoral.
and will doubtless be up to the old
tricks next Tuesday. Sometimes.
however, they become a trit1e
thoughtless, but as it only comes
once a wear, and there is nothing OF
maliciousness in their sport, they
T generally forgiven.
In anticipation of the approach
ing holiday Mayor P. III. Shields
has issued the following Proclama-
ton:
ssWhereas, Tuesday evening next
is Halloween, and the thoughtless
are frequently inclined on such oc.
casions, to go beyond the bounds OF
proper restraint in the commission
of deeds injurious to themselves and
their neighbors and to their neigh
boris property.
sNow, I, P. Fl. Shields, mayor of
the City of Clarksburg, w Va, do
hereby proclaim and give notice that
any person or persons, known to
maliciously and Intentionally de-
strov, mufilate, deface Or remove
property not %rightfu1ly their own,
will be arrested and fined.
e"Given under my hand this 2Sth
dav of October, 1905.
