E. d. Wilson, manager of the
Singer Sewing Machine company,
with headquarters in Clifton, has
sent in his resignation on account of
the fact that the company is making
arrangements to change the man
ayers office to Globe. Mr.. Wilson
does not care to leave Clifton and has
put in his application for the Clifton
agency, which will be conducted as
branch to the Globe office. Mr.. Will
son has resided in Clifton long time
and is thoroughly acquainted with
the business of the company, hence
there is not much doubt about him
receiving the appointment.

Chas. Freema n, proprietor of the
Clifton planning mill, and who has
been a citizen of Clifton a number of
years, returned Saturday from Bis
bee and Douglas, where he was sizing
up a location for his line of business.
Neither Douglas nor Bisbee have a
planning mill and he is of the opinion
that an institution of that kind would
do well, although he likes Clifton SO
we'll that he does not known whether
to take Il move or not. He spent
about ten days in that section and
found it pretty hard proposition to
get a central location in Bisbee. In
Douglas it was quite different, but
business will not be quite as good.
1t is hoped that Mr.. Freeman will
decide to remain as we need him
here.

Democrats DID n.

The farmers Of Harrison county
are not worrying about their assess
ments. They have a very good rea-
son for not worrying. 1t is that the
taxes of most of them have been
very largely reduced under the new
tax system.
ANY attempt to prejudice them
against the new system because Of
alleged lower assessments in some
other counties viii fan. Besides,
most all the farmers of Harrison
county are acquainted with the fact
that there would not now be any
State tax at all for them to pay. If
1t had not been for the action Of the
Democratic membership of the State
senate two years ago. with the aid
of some insurgent Republicans in
preventing the taking on of the
State tax. The Democratic party is
responsible today for tn existence
people believe otherwise. Also it is
of state tax and can not make the
definitely known that the Democratic
membership has been instructed by
the Democratic state committee not
to support any movement to improve
tn present laws. That means that
they are to oppose any and all eff
forts to take on the remainder of
the state tax. With this the case it
is ridiculous for Democratic papers
to appeal to farmers to vote against
the Republican party on the grounds
that the assessment of land is some
higher in one county than another.
For, II the Democrats had but aided
the Republicans in taking on the
state tax altogether, It would have
made no difference how much higher
assessments were in one county than
another.

bage tax question means that gar-
bage system should be established
along the lines OF the water system.
it appears to the Telegram TO be
much more sensible and satisfactory
than the other. Garbage is. very
much like water. Some use great
deal of water. others but little.
Some have a great deal Of garbage,
others but little. For this use a
sort Of tax, commonly known as rent.
is imposed and collected by the city.
There is a schedule of rates. Ho.
tells. livery stables and other large
consumers Of water pay more than
small consumers. the same as they
should pay In reference to garbage.
Under this plan there would be
licensed collectors with regulation
wagons and residents would pay ac-
cording to the service required to
dispose of their garbage. A man
who has a wagon load would pay
more. just as he ought to pay, than
man with peck or gallon of 1t.
The ordinance could and should
make it compulsory ON the part Of
both the collector of garbage and the
residents having garbage to observe
the law on the subject, and heavy
penalties may be imposed for fail
use to observe that law and under
such a system the city could collect
all garbage rents" or see that
bonded licensed collectors do not go
beyond the rates prescribed by the
city for the service.
II the latter plan be adopted. 1T is
foolish to proceed to draft an ordi-
nance until after 1t has been ascer-
tanned how much would be necessary
to make the system self-supporting,
but, of course. in this there could be
some latitude allowed for increasing
population and garbage growth. To
ascertain this the city could for half
month or whole month institute
the system free of cost. 1t would
then have basis for the drafting of
an intelligent ordinance.

Babies in the opera House.

If there is one thing a fond
mother likes to do, 1t is to show her
pretty baby to her friends and ac-
quaintances. Every mothers baby
is pretty and she is proud of the lit
E.tle- es;s-FFsr pride is not only nat
ural But 1t is commendable for it in
spires others with parental ambi-
tions. Crabid and Ill humored, in
deed, must be the person who does
not find pleasure in looking upon a
dimpled, darling baby, growing, COO
ing and smiling in Its charming in
fantile way. Yet there are times
and places when the growing and
cooling and fretful crying of an in
FAINT fall upon the ears as particu-
larly annoying and Irritating thing.
This, is in crowded opera house,
for instance. when every ear is
strained and the senses alert for
some particularly interesting situa-
ton in the action of the play.
There has been an increased prac-
tice of late on the part of proud
mothers of young infants in Clarks-
burg to take their offspring with
them to the theatre. While in some
Instances it is almost necessary for
the mother to take her baby with
her TO the opera house If she expects
to attend it herself, there are many
in which the charming little young
ster could be resting in its cradle un-
der the watchful care Of nurse, sis
ter, brother or other member of the
family and obtaining the sleep and
rest that its tender age demands.
In most cities the rule is observ-
ed in opera houses and other public
places of entertainment to deny ad-
mittance to babies in arms. This is
not an injustice to the babies for
they are usually too young to APP
preciate the play themselves, but 1t
prevents an imposition on the gen.
eral public which pays It's money
for a few hours of entertainment.
The rule is not observed by the man
agement of the local play house but
that fact should not lead mothers to
take advantage of it.
All the mothers in Clarksburg
should go to an opera house to wit
ness play, If they so desire. The
general theatre-going public likes to
see as many mothers present at an
entertainment as possible; their
presence elevates. inspires. encour-
ages and adds to the social pleasure
of the assemblage. But the indul-
gent public does not like to be i'm
posed upon too much in respect to
crying and fretful infants, and, un-
less the mothers Of children In arms
do not employ some consideration in
their efforts to show their pretty
babies to their friends, their well
meant intentions may result in the
exclusion of babies in arms from the
