WHAT THEKIDNEYSDO
Their Unceasing Work
Keeps Us Strong and
Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 800 grains of
impure matter daily. When unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left in
the blood. This brings on many diseases
and symptoms, pain In the back headache,
nervousness. hot, dry skin, rheumatism.
gOut, gravel, disorders OF the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drOwsiness, dropsy. deposits in
the urine. etc. But if you keep the filters
right you will have no trouble with your
kidneys.

The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-07-17


to the fact that i, at a pivotal mo-
ment. was more instrumental than
any other paper in the state in his
nomination, and certainly no paper
did more in Its power to elect him.
1t win be remembered the TeIe-
gram before his nomination took a
decided stand in his favor when the
Republican editors of the State were
In league convention at Parkers-
burg. This was far in advance Of
any and all of the Republican pa
pers of the State and created a con-
siderable connection. The Telegram
at the time was quite friendly to OPP
posing candidates and would have
supported any one who might have
won the nomination over Mr.. White.
But 1t had the pleasure of realizing
that the State convention agreed
with its views on the subject and
later the voters also agreed.
There has been nothing to trans
pire since that time that could
change the Telegram's estimate of
Governor White. 1t thinks as we'll
of him today as ever it did, and, If
1T be the win of the Republican party
that he be the nominee. and there
seems no question about his being
the choice OF many. the Telegram
will certainly take great pride in
giving him the most ardent support
in his campaign and election.
A. B. White would be an even bet
ter governor than before; he is
brainy and experienced. He stands
for the interests of the people, he
has been tried and not found want
ing. He can not be beaten, if he is
the choice of the Republicans OF the
State.
Republican papers, or those that
profess to be Republican, which
seek to cast reflections on Governor
White, fail to give their readers a
true appreciation of the man, and,
would do well to be Just to them
selves by being fair and honest in
the matter.

The City Levy.

Not including the payment on the
old debt the city administration last
year, as shown by statement made
up by ex-Mayor Harmer and two
members of his council, paid out
$43, 1869 Of it's own debts. and af-
ter borrowing $4,000 from the water
works fund, was $3,2s326 short in
its accounts, and the very first dash
out of the box after the new council
was indicted into Office was the pay
ment of Hammer bills amounting to
nearly $4,000, which vouchers had
not been issued for by him, and still
others have been paid or are to be
paid. making an actual shortage of
fully $4,000. The only paving done
was on North Third and South Fifth
streets, the cost of which appears in
the financial statement as $1,0s7.2O.
Give that administration credit for
this on its shortage and the result
is a net shortage of about $1,000.
The amount of the tax levied was
$50, 900 in round numbers.
Under the present administration
it is proposed to lay levy that will
raise $4,000 taxes in round num-
bers, or $4,000 more than last year.
But, with the raising of the levy to
realize this amount $4,000 is set
aside for new paving. The difference
between this amount and the $1,000
last year for new paving is SIS, 900.
The other expenses of the city this
year, according to the estimate pub
lished amount to 5000 less than they
did last year. Add this to the $751;
600 of paving in excess and the re-
suit is $15,900. Now, add the Har-
mer net shortage to this and the re-
suit is nearly $685. in favor of the
present administration as against
that of last year.
Another feature worthy of men
ton is that while the aggregate tax
this year is $4,000 more than last
year, yet it covers the entire ex-
penses without leaving any shortage
and also covers $4,000 more paw
Ing than last year. and, If the city
was well managed financially last
year, as some claim, who is there
that objects to the payment of $4,000
more in order to get $4,000 more
of paving? The economic man will
not object to this. The financier can
not object
1t is also worthy of mention in
this connection that so far as the old
debt is concerned the present ad-
ministration has paid just about the
same of it already as was paid last
year. So, in this respect that is a
standoff between the two councils
With these figures and conditions
it Is unfair and false to assume that
because the levy is some higher than
last year. that the city government
is more costly than last year. No
man that reasons at all can safely
say it is more costly this year than
last, but. in truth, when he comes to
examining the figures, he will readily
conclude that it is far less expensive
than last year.
So, there is nothing in the claim
that an alleged reform mayor saved
the city any more or that the pres
ent administration is not as econom-
ical as the last.

INC Misnuoted Interriew.

A day or so ago the story went the
rounds of the newspapers that Sen
ator Stephen B. Elkins had, in an
interview in New York, declared
that Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou was a formidable candidate
for the presidency and that in all
likelihood he would capture the
New York State delegation to the
National Republican convention.
Speaking to newspaper representa-
tives after the alleged interview was
published, Senator Elkins said:
81 want you to deny it for me. I
never gave out any such interview.
1 was asked by a reporter what l
thought of Mr.. Cortelyou's chances
for the nomination, and 1 simply
said that it looked to me from what
1 heard in New York that he had a
pretty good chance to get the New
York delegation. That Is all there
was to 1t. He made the rest out of
the whole cloth"
This interview was concluded with
the expressed opinion by Senator
Elkins that President Roosevelt is
the choice of the majority of the
people of West Virginia for the
place.
There wouldn't be so many dis
torted interviews and "misquoted
articles" of the kind in the newspa-
pers If the persons interviewed take
care that they are fully and clearly
understood. 1t used to be the Gus
tom formerly for prominent public
men to give out their interviews by
means of broad hints and suggestions
leaving the newspaper man to guess
the purport and intent of the same.
This practice is, happily, becoming
obsolete as the men interviewed. the
man doing the interviewing and his
paper suffer in the long run if any
misstatements are published and
both try, or should try, to get things
correct. This is another example of
truth being mighty and prevailing in
the end. In many instances the de-
NAL of an interview adds to the i'm
preston of the original interview
rather than controverts it. The mis-
leading interview and following de-
NAL are becoming out of fashion and
public men as we'll as the newspa-
pers should awaken to the fact.
