Aid for the Veterans

There is no reason in the world why Alabama should not exempt from taxa ton the property of every veteran whose property amounts to less than 5000. Our taxable values are increas- ing rapidly, and the state can afford to give the old soldiers the benefit of the proposed exemption. Whatever the state can afford to do for the ex-Con- federates 1t should do, and Alabama can readily afford to grant the exemp- ton that Representative Arnold of Cal houn has put in bill now before the lower house.
 At present an old soldier who has property valued for the purposes of taxation at more than $400 cannot se- cure a pension. MT. Arnolds bill would therefore be help to those who have property worth up to $2000 in value. The pending bill may need amend ment so that exemption from taxation would not operate to increase the pen sion roll, but that can be readily ac- complished. Once perfected and sim plified, the Arnold bill should be passed, for the state does not need and should not take the money of the sur viving veterans of the great struggle of 1S61-65

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Many vlrainians Here.

Few states outside of Alabama are so largely represented in the population of Birmingham as Virginia" said Maj. D. T. Taliaferro. q believe that fully 10 per cent of the men one meets in business, professional and social circles here were born in the Old Dominion.
 "A fine class of men have come from other states-north as well as south-and all of them are helping to build up Blr- mingham, but in the early days Ken tneldans, Tennesseeans and Virginians settled here in largest numbers and all through the years of depression they re- mained steadfast. Virginians were great prophets of this district and if anyone of them ever lost heart I never met him. Several of the richest and most highly esteemed men here today came from the old state"

MINE DISASTER.
Chief Englener and Two Assistants
 Killed In Explosion.

Lens, France, January 2s.-A terrible disaster involving the loss of many lives has occurred in a coal mine at Lievin. in the Couriers district. The catastrophe was due to an explosion of fire damp in one of the pits.
 By o'clock in the afternoon practically all the miners had been accounted for. and 1t Is not considered probable that there were any victims besides the chief engineer and his two assistants.
 The mayor of Lieyin. who is an old miner, is experimenting the work of res cue. Of the SIP miners who descended into the pit this morning 6S0 had been brought to the surface at o'clock this afternoon. The bodies of the chief en- gineer and his two assistants, horribly mangled, were recovered. It is not yet known how many lives were lost as a re- suit of the explosion.

Fifty Chinese Graft Sink.

Kong Kong, January 2s.-A terrific rain squall broke over Hong Kong this morning. and In the space of ten min utes sank over fifty Chinese craft in the harbor, more than a hundred natives being drowned. There were no casualties among the white population. Launches from the shore rescued many occupants of the swamped boats.
 The harbor was also filtered with the wreckage from the sunllen junks. Dur ing the squall the river steamer Paul Bean broke adrift, but she was brought to an anchor without sustaining any damage

The Evening Stop Bucket contin-
ues to publish a lot of misrepresen-
tations in the interests of the poll
teal crowd that his chartered is
for campaign purposes but they are
SO extremely silly that intelligent
people can see through them at a
glance. The Bucket INDUCES in
these Misrepresentation in order to
evade facts which 1t cannot answer
without convincing the people of the
Harmer maladministration. The al
legged reform crowd is so desperate
over the situation and the sentiment
of the people that it will have its
newspaper do almost any old thing
to boost their game.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-28
A Bad Government.

The Evening Stink Pot delivers it.
self OF another barefaced falsity
when it says that the Telegram is
not in favor OF good government and
has so maintained thus far in the
city campaign. The Telegram is in
favor of good government and that
is why it opposes the election of
Harvey W. Harmer to the office of
mayor.
Harmer's administrator has been
a bad one, a miserably bad one. BY
his incompetency, stubbornness, mar
row-mindedness, selfshness and egot-
ism he has made a deplorable
tumble of affairs in feeble attempts
to hold down an office that is too big
for his capacities. He has lost
money for the taxpayers of the city
of Clarksburg while he has been
mayor. He has permitted gambling
dens to be operated unmolested in
various parts Of the city. He has
allowed other wicked and vicious
practices to go on without restraint.
His mismanagement has been re-
sponsible for the suspension of much
needed public improvements during
his tenure of office. BY reprehensible
pretenses and deceptive bomhast he
has tried to drag his own scheming
political trickery into places where
they have no right to be dragged.
The results of his maladministra-
ton glaringly show his unfitness and
incapacity for the office he tries to
fill.
The Telegram stands for an effic-
lent, operative, honest city govern
ment, one that means progression
instead of repression, prosperity in
stead of bankruptcy, accomplish
ment instead of inaction, advance
ment instead of decay. That is why
it is opposed to a continuation of
the present rotten state of affairs
under the maladministration of Har-
vey W. Harmer and in so opposing it
reflects the sentiments of majority
of the citizens of the city who will
so express them at the polls next
Tuesday.
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-28
Grille and Hammer.


We have had an administration of
Mr.. Harmer and Mr.. Grille. Harmer's
administration has been along one
idea, and one alone, and that has
been very far from a success.
There are other things in our city
to be considered. Mr.. Grille looked
after all the interests of Clarksburg
alike, much better than Harmer.
Grille had trying problems to deal
with. Under his administration he
very successfully handled a smallpox
epidemic. There were ten times
more money expended on the water
system and permanent street i'm
provements than under the present
administration. And under all these
the records show that the floating
debt Of the city increased less rapid
", than under Harmer's administra-
ton, Notwithstanding Harmer's state
ments last year as to his position in
regard to this debt.
We are indebted to Mr.. Grille
more than to any one else for the
garbage crematory and he kept it
running every day in the year. and
made it pay its way without expense
to the taxpayers of the city.
Again, we can say that Grille, at
his own personal expense, made a
trip to Baltimore and obtained an
agreement from the proper officials
of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Company that that company would
contribute the money to pave one
third Of Baltimore street. from the
eastern end of the freight station to
the western end of the Leatherbury
Shoe Company's building.
Under the entire two years of
Crile's administration as mayor there
was but one attempt at burglary
In the city limits, and that was in a
wholesale hardware house, commit
ted by hoboes who stole some revolt
Vers and pistols, and Mr.. Grille de-
tailed an officer after the culprits
and traced them out the Short Line,
and the officer recovered nearly all
the stolen property from persons who
had purchased it. What has been
the record in that line in this city
under the present administration?
Taking all these, and many other
