ter water works, rather than street
improvements, and yet there are
streets that must be repaired. How
ever street improvement expendi-
ture should be .curtailed to the low
est figure possible and the residue
of til revenues applied to the water
works improvement. The board Of
trades suggestion and recommended
ton are non-partisan and are made
in the interest of the general public.
1t wants fifteen thousand dollars
spent this year on the water system
and the Telegram agrees with it
that that amount at least ought to
be expended in this direction, but.
whether by borrowing the same or
not is question mainly with the
council and the people. What ar
engagements could be made for this
have not been disclosed, and whether
or not the council has the power TO
do so, is undetermined. There
ought not, however, be any objection
to this plan, if it is sufficient to pre-
clude the blue slip, for it would Ger
tainly be less costly and far more
enduring than that,slip in the point
of protection and service.
The question is one that affects
every citizen of Carksburg and
should receive the earnest attention
Of every one. The situation is such
that suggestions may prove of great
value in solving the problem. Ger
tainly the blue slip ought to be
avoided.

Only recently the Democratic pa
pcrs announced that the combines
were for Dovener's nomination and
were fighting Hubbard tooth and
toe nail. Now, they come along and
say the combines helped to nominate
Hubbard and that he is their choice.
These Democratic papers having
called themselves liars so plainly, it
is scarcely ever. necessary to call at
tention to the matter. Their course
shows that they are mixed on their
numbers and that the nomination Of
Mr.. Hubbard is the cause of their
sad plight.

THE BLUE SLIP.

The blue slip is said to be
scheduled for Clarksburg, unless
some action is shortly taken to pre-
clude it. All property owners know
what the pink slip is. The blue
slip is another like it except as to
color and it means an increase of
the same amount the pink slip
brought, except that it is in adj
dition TO the pink slip. In other
words the blue slip doubles the
amoHHt-the pink slip calls for. And
this is because Of the inadequacy and
inefficiency of the water works sys-
TEN. This leads up to the thought
that it certainly would be a SPLEEN
did economic principle to bring
about a state Of affairs, wherein
there would be an expenditure for
something permanent and service
able, instead of the outlay made to
protect a risk.
As stated, much good money is
being paid out merely to protect
ones property. when in fact. if it
were properly expended the property
would be not only protected but
good service would also be enjoyed.
There is no need of paying insurance
when it can be avoided, and certainly
no logic or economy in paying in
creases, when the increases them
selves would guarantee against the
risk and at the same time provide
future risks. Every man ought to
have his property insured, no matter
how little the risk, but there is no
reason why the property should be
consumed by the amount paid for
the protection against the risk. Such
a thing could not occur, if the
proper precautionary measures were
taken. One of these measures is
ample and sufficient water service.
TO say nothing of a properly equip
ped and working fire department.
With the first incapable the latter
can not possibly measure up to the
standard necessary to bring about re-
suits that mean something to not
only property owners hut also those
who occupy the properties. Land
lord and tenant suffer alike, because
OF the lack Of good water facilities.
Their Interests are mutual and both
must pay. They should better pay
Tor permanent protection rather
than for temporary, pay for some
thing lasting rather than from YEAR
to year. Why pay the insurance
MANI Why not pay for good water
works and fine service. at least annie
service: The pink and blue Sins
are costly, and nothing but the pro-
lection is guaranteed. There i
nothing in them that means any
thing more than the one year 50 far
as protection is concerned. The
same amount spent in building
water works would mean something
that would endure for years, and
yet the insurance companies. under
the circumstances existing here arc
not to be censured for the addition
al charges the slips represent. They
have a right to protect themselves
just as well as to protect those who
pay them for that protection.

New York. Oct 31.-Rewards total

Both Mr. Hearst ana Mr. Hughes

their canvass of up state counties. The

unfavorable today being cold with
snow falling. dr- Hearst's voice has
been almost entirely worn out, but he
expects to address five meetings in

Mr.. Hughes in a speech at Fulton,

that Mr.. Hearst had failed TO pay theif
proper share of taxes.

First National Receivership Believed
to Be Near End.

The receivership Of the First Ma
tlonal bank may be wound up within
the next thirty days and the creditors
paid off in full. A deal is now pend
ing for the sale of all of the assets of
the bank remaining on hand and un-
sold to a Chicago firm which makes a
speciality of purchasing assets Of de-
funct institutions and then realizing on
them at their leisure.
The Chicago firm has had its agents
in Topeka and in other places where
the property held by the bank is To-
Gated and has made a thorough ex-
animation of all the saleable assets.
The first tentative offer from the pros
pective purchasers came about the
first OF September and since that time
the consideration for the sale of the
assets has been under way. The deal.

Most Of the real estate now held by
the bank consists of the Illinois farm
properties. There are several thou
sand acres included in the Illinois list
and all of them are valued at the top
market price. Aside from this the re-
ceiver still holds a large number of
bonds, bank stocks, notes and other
securities.
The checks for the payment of the
; per cent dividend have not arrived
yet from Washington, D. c., though
they are expected daily. When asked
as to the time of another dividend Mr..
Bradley said:
"I intend to announce another divi-

every attempt to carry it through.

WILLIAMS DROPS OUT.
Resigns Position as superintendent
Blind Asylum.

Lapier Williams. superintendent Of
the Kansas school for the blind, To-
Gated at Kansas City, Kan, has re-
signed the office of superintendent
which he has held for ten years. mad
which he has held for ten years, and
organized Kansas Trust company Of
Kansas City. The position pays $4,000
a year.
It isn't often that man steps out
of an institution job in Kansas into a
position at the head of a big financial
corporation, but this is what Williams
has done. During his ten years con-
nection with the school for the blind
Mr.. Williams has saved his money, and
invested it in various ways which have
brought him good returns. He has
also been in a position to command
almost unlimited capital for investment
through the friendship Of certain rela-
tives. The result is that at the end of
ten years work in the school for the
blind, Williams finds himself worth
$4,000 and head of a trust company.
The uperintendency of the school
for the blind pays $1,000 a year. in ad-
dition to which the superintendent is
furnished a home and all supplies for
himself and family 1t is a very good
job, and already the state board Of con-
troll has received three applications for
the place. Mr.. Williams will leave the
school on December 1, and between
now and that time his successor will
be selected. The new superintendent
is selected by the board with the con-
sent of the governor. It is understood
that no one at present connected with
the head of the sch ool is not of neces-
sity a person familiar with the meth
DDS of blind school work, but must be
a man of strong executive ability.
