SENTIMENTS

Mar. 90, 1906.
To the Editor of the Clarksburg
Telegram
Dear We, the undersigned.
colored voters of the City of Clarks-
burg, County Of Harrison, State Of
West Virginia, ask Of YOU space in
your paper for the following article: !:
We have been reliably informed
that there is ticket to be voted on.
at the next municipal election, which
occurs on the Sd day Of April, 1906,
known as the Negro Republican
Party" with three negroes running
for offices, namely, for mayor, chief
of police and city clerk. This party
having filed with the city clerk the
officers endorsed and the names of
ninety colored voters, these ninety
colored voters having signed a petit
tion or some one signed for them.
We. the regular and substantial
|colored voters, that is a part Of us,
that is to say those who sign this
article, time will not permit US to
|get all the good citizens, and against.
such ticket and the source Of snch.
a movement, we go on record for.
every good and honest negro voter
in the City Of Clarksburg being
against "Negro Republican Party"
and against those who have fostered
suchla political move, in the interest
of our enemies.
have been informed by a good
number of the signers Of the petition
that they signed with the under
standing that it was a petition de-
nouncing the discrimination in sa-
looms in the City of Clarksburg, that
lis to say there are a number of
saloon keepers, who refuse to sell a
colored voter a drink of any kind,
regardless OF his appearance and
condition; for this reason a good
number of voters signed the said
petition who would not have signed
under any other circumstances; these
voters claim that the above was told
them by the promulgators of the new
doctrine.
We have been informed that this
movement was started by few Dem
ocrats and sore-headed Republicans !;
we believe this and some of US know
il to be true. The promulgators of
This new doctrine are not new ones.
to us in the political field, we know
of past acts and other things we care
not to mention, we had forgiven
them for past actions and accepted
them in our council, but at present
they are outside, like the Good Mas
ter said years ago, 1--WE will forgive
ninety and nine times" bue we will
see that the promulgators take a
back scat until they are willing to
behave.
We have been informed that these
so-called political gentlemen have
received for their services for such
moyment as many different things
as there were languaes spoken when
the people left the Tower Of Babel
lsome received gold. some silver and
some dry goods for such movement.
We believe that in municipal
election every citizen should vote
Tor the best man available for public
trust regardless Of his politics, but
where in a small city like ,ClarEls-
burg, there are four or five tickets in
the field. we believe that we should
adhere to our own political FAITH
the Republican party and its doc
trines.

party and those men who have land

Plenty of Time for Exercise In Cool
of Summer Day-What =
Makes for Grace.

The body needs air, exercise and
rest, food, play and sleep during the
warm days of summer as well as the
cold days of winter; during the crisp,
sparkling days of the late fall as well
as the half sultry and wholly languor-
Gus days of the spring. The exercise,
to be sure, should not be SO violent
and should have much of the real
pleasure element in 1t, but 1t should
be exercise and taken daily.
The time for it should also be wise
ly chosen during the warm days, Tor
from the hours of eleven to three or
four it is we'll to rest and the ham
mock, cool corner of the porch or
shady nook in orchard or grove tempts
one to settle down with book, fancy
work or friends, and 1t Is well TO
have plenty of such hours sprinkied
generously through our summers fun.
But for bodily exercise (other than
deep breathing, which may and
should be INDUCED in at all hours and
many times during the long warm
days. the best time is in the early

Two Thoughtful Bon Voyage Gifts
A Most Delightful Musical
Game.
Two Bon Voyage Gifts.

For a young boy who was going to
Europe for six months a girl friend
made this charming gift whereby
many an hour was happily spent, and
it provided amusement not only for
him, but the grown-ups in the party
enjoyed it quite as much.
1t was a blank book, the first pages
containing 80 cleverly illustrated
book titles" The "key" to this was
given to the lads mother. Then
there were a number of pages ruled
off forming a diary, covering the
months of the journey.
After this came snap shots of his
own house, the street on which he
lived and of the children who were
his playmates and friends. There
were valentines from these chums,
also Easter cards, April fool jokes
and fourth of July souvenirs. The
special pages were tied together
with mot to be opened till the date"
written on the page preceding, and
the boys birthday pages were con.
cealed in the same manner. The
other going away" gift was arranged
for a baby of three years, who was
to make the long months voyage to
South America, and a friend provided
a huge ball of worsted, with the in.
structions to unwind n surprise"
a day. The ball contained all sorts
of little novelties, a top, dolls of va,
rious kinds, a tiny bottle OF per

pair of round-pointed scissors, small
boxes of odd shapes filled with bon
bons, toy animals, and a coarse

UDecay Of the Parent" a Subject OF
Wonder and Woe to English
Periodical.

The decay of the parent is a fea-
u of the times in this country. The
parents of former days possessed a
fund of experience which made them
respected by their children, and most
useful to them. In those times change
crawled in England; now it races.
The experience of the ordinary par
ent was obtained in circumstances
which have almost wholly been re-
placed by others that are altogether
different and seldom applies to the
new Our standards themselves have
undergone considerable alteration,
and many principles" are now ac-
counted as ~prejudices.
The children who have had q mod
ern education, whose mind is in tune
with the modern style of thought, and
have been influenced by modern de-
velopments, see this, and that they can
teach their parents more than the lat
ter can them. The ordinary parents,
