The editor of that paper will ascer-
tain that he is nightly mistaken
If he buys a ticket, other than a
mileage book. To impress this on
his mind, the Telegram suggests that
he take 1899 to a railroad ticket
Office and buy transportation. 1t
is ten to nothing shot that he will
not get ticket that will entitle him
to ride one thousand miles. That
being true his statement is decep-
tive. Tho man with three dollars is
entitled to ride as many miles in
proportion as the one with twenty
dollars. Some say no" Now,
why? For the life of us we do not
know, If all men are to be treated
alike and pay fairly for what they
get. Those fellows contend that
there ought to be reduction be-
cause they invest their money in a
mileage book, that is to say, they
pay spot cash twenty or twenty-five
dollars for one thousand miles. II
they used but the one book year,
the actual interest, lawful rate would
be one dollar and twenty cents or one
dollar and fifty cents. That merely
reimburses them for the annoyance
they would have, If they bought a
ticket every time they rode. Such
small amount does not justify dis
elimination on the part of the rail-
roads.
Other states have two-cent fare
and there is no good reason West
Virginia should not. The truth is,
the railroads in some sections of
this State ought to pay men for rid
ing on them-the service is so poor
and the roads so rough.
Two-cent fare ought to mean the
same to every one. No man ought
to pay any more than any other man
for riding on railroad, and that
means that no man ought to pay
less than any other man in this re-
spect.

All. Crematory Day,

The extraordinary performance of
fully fifteen thousand people being
served one day week with crema-
tory service was supposed to have
taken place yesterday. The crema-
tory must either have been overrun
or not doing its duty at all. The
Telegram suspects it did not do its
duty, but really 1t was not the fault
of the crematory. To the contrary
1t was the fault of the city admins
tration. Most any one ought to do
better than the administration is on
the crematory matter. One man
paid regularly to look after its opera
ton was discharged and another man
took charge without the councils
knowledge and after running 1t some
time every day. Notwithstanding the
fact that it had been ordered shut
down every day except Friday of
each week, rendered bill. All this
as well as some other things that
have taken place in reference to the
crematory property ought to be In
vestigated and the council would but
be doing its duty, If it would ap-
point committee to make full re-
port of the matter, after a thorough
investigation. The city invested a
goodly sum in the property and built
the crematory at much expense. The
city has the right to know just how
the property has been used, how the
crematory is run and why 1t does not
pay as is the notion. The city
ought also to have the power to see
that it does pay and that the people
use 1t instead OF the creeks for
dumping grounds. The mayor him
self ought to see that there is a rigid
investigation and he ought also to see
that the sanitary laws are enforced.
That is part of his business Just

Is the fire department really any
more essential than the crematory?
The fire department is supposed to
keep insurance down. The crema-
tory is supposed to prevent doctor
bills. The fire department is to pro-
tect and save property. The crema-
tory is to prevent sickness and save
lives, If property is more valuable
than lives then by all means keep
up the fire department and have
crematory day once week. But,
would there be any property. if
there were no lives? Also, how
much would property be worth, If
existing, when there are no lives?
Which is better in Clarksburg life
or property? Will the present ad-
ministration answer these questions?
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-01-26

Something is said in the Scriptures
about cleanliness and six days thou
shalt work. but the present city ad-
ministration has reversed the say
ing so far as the crematory is con-
cerned. 1t says the city may be
dirty and to the crematory it says
thou shalt rest six days and work
one. Funny. isn't it? And just as
ridiculous as 1t is funny! viii the
mayor see that the crematory works
every day in the week? That is one
of the laws of the city that it shall
and he is sworn to enforce the laws.
In the present instance it is laid up
against the street superintendent,
when in fact common sense ought to
teach every one that It's really not
in his department?

The Charleston paper that is wor-
rying about dissoiute women being
found in an abandoned coal mine a
short distance from the city of
Clarksburg should bear in mind that
such would be better than having
dissolute women walking all around
the capitol. 1t appears that Charles

of brothels. gambling dens and other

Good opportunities.


Occasionally clarksburgers have
the opportunity of hearing promin-
emit doctors, philosophers.
educators, evangelists, artists and
others who have attained distinction
by their abilities and achievements.
Such opportunities should be taken
advantage Of by all persons of aver
age intelligence and more because
they will do them good.
These men of note always have
something to impart. They have
spent years of study, research and
work in acquiring knowledge and
talent in their especial lines. We're
they men of only mediocre abilities
they would not occupy the places of
prominence that they do. Surely
there must be some fruits from all
these years of hard work-some-
thing that would help those who
have not had the experience that
these men have had. Even though
we did all have their same oppor-
tunities, there is a vast amount of
knowledge these men have acquired
that would. he Of benefit, for no two
minds are exactly alike and no two
persons of nearly equal intelligence
can have exactly or nearly the same
store of ideas.
To elevate ourselves, mentally,
morally, physically, and spiritually,
as well as materially, is the chief
business of life. Therefore when
ever any opportunity of helping up
in our efforts is presented 1t should
be eagerly grasped; and let it be
hoped that there are few in this
community who do not want to make
themselves better men and women.
We have had a number Of noted
men in this city. Not long ago on
the occasion of the annual meeting
of the West Virginia Baptist General
Association, there was an assembly
OF learned and good men whose very
presence in the city could be felt by
even those who did not go to hear
them such was the atmosphere of
culture and inspiration they caused
Since then We have had some noted
ministers with us; men who have
tried to infuse sunshine and knowl-
edge into our lives; good men of
high intelligence who are doing
good for their fellowmen, and with
out doubt they have done good in
Clarksburg, In few days we will
hear the Rev, James R. Worden,
D. D.. LID, noted Presbyterian
minister. The Gamble concert com
pany of noted musical artists will
also be here. Let every one who can
do so hear there eminent persons,
and all others of their high stand
ing whom We shall have the prlvi-
lege Of hearing.
There has been a noted increase
in the desire for these opportunities
Of enlightenment in this community
of late. 1t is a good sign. The
Telegram hopes that the desire will
increase and while this paper is not
pushing any particular enterprise it
will always lend encouragement and
support to any movement that has
for its object the improvement of its
people. Let US have as many noted
and learned men and women as we
can get here, and let US all benefit
by their visits.

II West Virginia makes an appro-
priation of $4,000 for an exhibit
at jamestown, it will be proportion
ately much larger than New York's
appropriation, when wealth, popula-
ton and resources are considered.
But no matter what sum is removed
from the state treasury for the pur-
pose, the taxpayers can make up
their minds that one-third of it will
represent graft in some form or
other-perhaps more Wheeling
Register.
A nice thing to intimate about
such men as Ex-Governor w. A. Mac
Corkle, Ex-Governor A. B. Fleming,
former State Superintendent of
Schools Virgil A. Lewis, United States
Senator Stephen B. Elkins, ex-Gov-
ernor G, w. Atkinson, Ex-Governor
A. b. White and F. NJ. staunton, of
Charleston. all men of unquestioned
integ. .ty. whose honesty is above re-
proach, Democrats as well as Re-

Morris is editor and proprietor,
and the printing is being done in

1t is a good beginning for a

amount of advertising it must be
a source of revenue to its pro-
moter. There is no reason why
a Durham magazine could not be
made a success, and if the stand
