A FAKE EXPOSED.

Democratic editors are taking a
mischievous advantage of a little
misunderstanding in Marshall coun-
ty about the valuation Of a railroad
bridge at Benwood. 1t must be
mischievous, for no one can imagine
that they are so ignorant Of the laws.
The hoard of public works assess the
railroad property this year at the
''real and actual value" and places
them on the same basis as other real
estate assessed under the new laws.
There is no getting around that, be-
cause the law expressly provides that
it shall eb done. And next fall,
when taxes are paid under the new
re-assessment Of lands, the railroad
companies will be among those who
are paving taxes on the actual value
Of their property. In the Marshall
county case it appears that the
bridge in question was reduced in
value by the board of public works
under the "fair value" idea, that pre-
vailed the year just ended with all
realty. The board regarded the old
assessment TOO high and made re-
duction, to meet the plan of equal
ization that was intended to exist
even under the old laws, and that is
all there is about. With the truth
known as to this incident Democratic
thunder has rolled with bad effect
not upon the laws. but upon those
who thought to deceive the people in
such manner. There is no need of
misconstruing the matter and those
who do it hut harm themselves.

POLICE COURT

And 10 another day and there was
nothing doing at the bar of justice.
If its a little thing like So and costs
that is keeping the crowd away, and
causing the wheels and springs Of

BASEBALL CLUB.

As recreation merchants and all
kinds of business men find attend
ance at a good baseball game very
excellent. and il is not so very sur
prising to sec so many Of them ut
that sort of game. But. all like to
have their moneys worth and like
TO be paid for their time. II is ut
terly impossible To have good games
unless there are good teams to play
them. That is an argument not to
be refuted in favor of having our
own team-one placed on substantial
financial basis and under proper and
most modern management. To have
such a team organization and sup
port are necessary. But even with
such a team but little can be ae-
eomplished without dates with other
teams of like character. This truth
should appeal to all and create an
appreciation Of the advantages Of
membership in a league such as Is

proposed. Membership can only be
acquired by perfecting arrangements
for an organized team, and the lat
ter can only be attained by an inter-
EST of a general nature, or at least to
the extent of providing temporary
funds-money needed in advance to
guarantee the movement. That
there is sufficient athletic spirit in
Clarksburg to bring about success
full effort the Telegram would be
ashamed to gainsay. But after all is
said, it is the money and action that
count. and delay in this instance
will prove disastrous. We must not
wait until next summer and then
deplore the fact that we are without
proper amusement in this respect, or
that scrub teams are all we have. The
opportunity affords itself now to pre-
pare for the summer. So, let us not
delay.

Dangers Of a Cold and How to
AUoid Them.

More fatalities have their origin
in or result from a cold than from
any other cause. This fact alone
should make people more careful as
there is no danger whatever from. a
cold when it is properly treated in
the beginning. For many years

Asks For History Of Affair Which
Has Caused So Much Talk in Local
circles-No Appeal Noted.

Interest in the case of the four
High school students recently dis
clplined by the faculty is not confined
to local circles. superintendent of
Public Instruction Eggleston has just
written 10 Mr.. w. T.. Pickett. presi-
dent of the local school board, ask
ing for complete history of the
AFFAIR which has created so much
talk here and has been aired in the
ont.of-town papers.
Up 10 this time the students have
not appealed from the ruling of the
faculty, bui II is very probable that
an appeal To- the rules and regula-
tons committee Of the school board
will be made in the very near fu.
ture. The boys and their friends
still claim that the action of the fac
nlty was harsh and the punishment
melted out 10 the students out Of pro-
PORTION to the offense.
Although the school board declined
TO reverse the faculty without an in
vestigation. at least two members of
the beard have openly expressed
themselves as being favorable to the
boys. 1t is expected that when the
committee takes the matter up these
members will make fight for the
restoration of honorS and the righS
to receive diplomas in public to the
boys
On the other hand Superintendent
Morton ana Principal Allen firmly
uphold the decision of the faculty and
are confident that an investigation
will only lead To confirmation of
the faculiy's action.
