county has three and the population
Of Harrison county. to say nothing Of
ner activities and wealth, is at least
equal to that Of Marion county. This

party standpoint, as to the Repub-
licans. Harrison county scars far
above Marion. as the accredited list
Of delegates to the various conven-
tons shows. The Republican party

These letters show how the poor

the desertion Of the man whom she
had too implicitly trusted and of the
mistake she made in yielding to his
desires in that trust. They convey
a deep, lasting and impressive moral
lesson which is transmitted to every

Prasses By Bryan.

Jealous of Roosevelt in his fight
for trust regulation, Democratic
leaders take every opportunity to
peddle their professed endorsement
Of his course, but in doing SO they
never fail to claim that he is really
carrying out Democratic policies.
They make this claim without war
rant. They know that their party
does not advocate what Roosevelt is,
doing. Their leader for a number Of
years has never taken the position
Roosevelt holds on these public
questions Bryan himself never
asked for regulation of the corpora
lions and combinations Of capital.
But he has always asked for their
determination. On this subject the
Pittsburg Gazette-Times has very
forceful editorial as follows:
mr.. Bryan's commentator of
President Roosevelts course with re-
gard to the prosecution of the Stand
ard OH Company is heralded In some
quarters as generous praise. coming,
as it does. from the acknowledged
leader Of the Democratic party That,
Of course. was the impression Mr..
Bryan desired to.leave, but his much
peddled generosity has ringer to It.
AS the avowed enemy Of so-called
trusts. he, who in days gone by was
wont to track the Shiny octopus to
its lair, imagines. or processes to be-
lieve, that anything President Roose-
vent does in bringing combinations to
book is necessarily an Enforcement
of the destructive policy the Nebras-
ka man has stood for and still rep
resents.
"The fact is that there is a wide
gulf between Mr.. Bryan-s policy or
destruction without cure and the adj
ministration's enforcement of the
laws without injury to legitimate
business. Mr.. Bryan is for exter-
mination while Mr.. Roosevelt is for
regulation. The Republican party,
through its representatives in the
government, is moving along lines OF
caution and conservatism. Mr..
Bryan's party in its present temper
would be entirely too radical to carry
through the reforms advocated with
the strict sense Of justice to all par
ties concerned which animates the
spirit Of the proceedings just insti-
tuted against one of the greatest cor
porations of the country. Mr.
Bryan's encomiums. therefore, must
be taken with an allowance Of salt. "

Coming Congress.

Congress is fast approaching. II
is the short session. 1t is hardly
probable that very much legislation
will be achieved, but that the foun-
dalton wiz be laid for a good guam
tity of wholesome legislation, which
will be enacted blythe succeeding ses-
sion. This is true Of the two prev
ious sessions. President Roosevelt
and the House paved the way in the
session before the last for the last
to enact the railroad rate bill and
nearly all the other great achieve
ments of the last session.
Henry clews discussing the prob
able work of the coming session
says:
Congress opens very shortly and
President Roosevelt's message will
be awaited with exceptional interest,
although It's general tenor is al
ready anticipated. The Administra-
ton is expected to continue its ag-
gressive policy towards the large
corporations which have been as
obeying the law, and a long drawn
out legal battle will be the outcome.
The next session of Congress prom
ises to he one of active discussion but
little real action. Cuba, currency
reform, subsidies, reciprocity, tariff
and trusts may all be subjecrs of agi-
tation, especially the latter. and the
stronger the discussion the less like
lihood of early agreement"
Thus it is that haste is no longer
a feature of the national legislative
body. Caution, care and delibera-
ton. with a view to ascertaining the
exast nature and effect of proposed
legislation, as well as the wants and

A Stock For Merchants.

There is no investme nt that pays
the merchant so we'll as advertis-
1 ing and every live merchant has
newspaper space in stock. It is his
He owns it. He buys it. Then why
is it not his? And as it is his he
should take just as much pride in it,
and give it just as much care as he
does the remainder Of his stock in
trade.
The live merchant picks up his
live local paper, turns to his adver-
tisement and with pride says:
THAT is my advertisement. His
patrons say to him: 81 saw your adj
yertisement.' . He says it is his.
they say it is, and it really is. It
certainly does belong to him, for the
reason that his competitor can not
slip in line or two or more in that
advertisement, telling about goods
other than those belonging to the
merchant, who has bought the space
referred to.
And since he owns the advertise
ment just as he does his stock Of
goods, II he is wise, he does not lay
that on the shelf as being suited
only to certain seasons. To the
contrary. If he knows his business
thoroughly and has push and enter
prise down pat, he knows that his
advertisement is a staple article and
must be kept on the counter all the
time, all the year round. where his
customers can have ready access to
it, where they can see it, where they
can take advantage of it by know
ing at all times what it is. That
advertisement is a valuable part or
his stock and is something sought at
ter at all times by his customers.
While, it is a staple article and IS
ever in demand, yet like other ar
ticles. it has the rush seasons, es-
pecially in holiday times. and then
is the time to have larger stock
of it.
1t always counts much in the mer-
chants favor, when he gets to count
ing the cash in the money drawer at
the end Of the business day. and 1t
is the one thing that brings rim In
money the moment he opens his store
every morning. At the end of the
year. he will find it has brought him
in thousands Of dollars. far more
than any article he has handled dur
ing the year.
1t is an article he must keep con-
stantly in stock. II he will DO the
best and biggest business. History
Of merchandising demonstrates this
beyond dispute or refutation-
And now let no clarksburg mer-
chant overlook this valuable part to
his stock during the holiday trade
II he has none of 1t. he will get busy

ing characteristic of Congress. Be
sides questions OF moment are be-
coming larger and grayer and the ac-
ton to be taken on them must be
taken in a manner that insures
against possible mistake. For this
and other reasons there Is no making
haste these days in the matter of en-
acting Legislation, and Congress is
becoming all the time, what It was
created for and is more capably than
in years past fulfilling its mission.

ter should be speedily corrected. The
state tax commissioners report
should deal largely with this feat
ure of the laws, and every county
tax commissioner, as well as the
county assessors Of personal props

legislature. They can all give wise
suggestions, II they win but take
the time and pains. 1t is hoped they
may. that there may be no Imperfect
tons in the laws that are designed to
reduce taxation and make 1t equal.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1906-11-29

There is a sentiment throughout
the state that the new tax laws have
been vindicated. There seems no
question about 1t. Now, it is the
duty Of the party in power to
strengthen and make them more per-
feet. Low and equal taxes should

The wage Increase.

While some papers are busily en-
gagged in attempts to show that the
wage increase all over the country is
an effort on the part Of the corpora
tons. railroads and other large in-
dustrial concerns to promote Repub-
lican policies. they can well conclude
the increase in wages is a result Of
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1906-11-29

the recent election. However It IS
a mistake that the railroads and
others did this to help the Repnb-
lican party. If they did, it is nat
ural to suppose they would have
done the same thing. had the Demo-
Gratis been elected, as the Demo
cratic leaders in their praise Of
Roosevelt say his attitude toward the
railroads and corporations is stolen
from Bryan
-ne keynote to the wage increase
is public confidence. The result OF
the election was an Inspiration to all
industrial concerns 10 go forward
and to advance as never before
Tbese concerns at once knew that
they were not to be torn Gown and
destroyed. The victorious political
marty never advocated their destrnc-
ton. On the other hand the DEM
ocratic party is clamoring all the
time for their destruction. It has
never shown itself capable of adj
vancement and Development There
is no progress about it, but 1t has
shown that it is the party Of retro
gression and is always going back
1t is not imbued with the modern
American spirit to push forward and
to attain greater things Had It
been elevated to power, stagnation in
business would have at once begun
confdenc being destroyed, and In
stead Of higher wages there would
have been lower wages already and
perhaps in thousands of instances no
wages at all.
AS industrial concerns gro"
their wage scale also becomes higher
AS they profit, SO does the wage
Garner to some extent at least. In
dustrial progress ever means higher
| wages. 1t ever means better OPP
| portunity for work and wage. These
together with the rapidly growing
conscience among men that those
| who make the wealth are entitled to
a portion of it are resulting in these
days in better wages. The wage
growth is more satisfactory the pres
ent decade than the one previous
The agitation fayoring this has
reached the halls OF legislation in an
impressive and effectual way and
there is a general sense that wages
should be just. These are condi-
tons that are bringing about better
wages, but behind all these is con-
fdence in the policy of national and
state government. Uncertainty and
the impression that trade conditions
are to be attacked. undermined and
destroyed would have serious ef-
feet on wages and instead of increas-
1 ing they would be reduced and in
many cases destroyed altogether.
For the mere matter of prelude
ing their readers for political effect
however, some papers purposely
overlook these conditions or do no;
understand them. and as the result
speak at random, when they say
wages have been increased merely to
! boost the Republican party.
The truth is these favorable condi-
lions prevail under Republican poll
cies and administrations and wages
increase, while on the other hand
they do not prevail under Democratic
policies and administrations and
wages get lower and are destroyed.
