A MORAL FOR ALI.

brochure containing an address
hy MIR. J0hn d. Paterson, president
of the National Cash Register Co, 10
Gated on Dayton, Ohio, entitled: What
Isayton Should Do TO Become a Model
City" is OF throbbing interest to any
community that is trying TO make I'M
dustrial progress We wish that ey-
cry Martinsburger might read this ex-
ees3en4 address of aagSce.
There is lots wrong with Dayton,
and much will have to be done evil
dentJy 10 arrive at that degree of per
lection where it may with proprltfy
be characterized as model city.
There is so mach wrong with it that
the National Cash Register company
purposes To remove its vast plant, ems
ploying six thousand skilled artisans,
to a location where conditions are
more favorable.
In his address, which was delivered,
by the way. to the business Mems
Boosters club. Of that city. President
Patterson gives then, NO reason to
hone that the extensive works of his
company viii under any circumstances
remain in their city. But he told them
plainly, the Boosters, the yexatious
harassments nnder which his company
operated there, visited IL upon Dayton
people themselves Evidently, from
his remarks. boosters are not so nu-
merous in that city that all OF them
cannot be taken into one club and the
membership not be oyercrowded. The
address is directed to Dayton and its
people. but il furnishes good text
book for any thriving and ambitious
community to guide its course by,
which is the reason that we wish ev-
cry Martinsburger might read it and
ponder it we'll
Dayton's largest industry is going to
quit IL. Its decision is irreyocable.
With II goes six thousand skilled la,
boring men and their dependents.
Cities and towns are rushing forward
in large numbers with Invitations and
inducements. No decision has been
made as to the new home OF this
great manufacturing institution. But
its decree to quit Dayton is final and
irredeemable. Dayton people have kill
ed the goose that laid golden eggs for
them. There is powerful moral in
this story from which any town or city
may profit if they but will.

Virginia owes Virginia anything for

great contention over the matter ev-
eryone knows. and IL is more than
probable that its unsettled condition
has somewhat retarded the develop

d however. that ii will eventually be set

HARD ON GIRLS.
Confederate Veterans Abolish Spon-
sors at Reunions.

Gen. Stephen d. Lee, commander
in chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, has Officially announced
that he will appoint no more sponsors
or maids of honor for future reunions
of the veterans.
General Lee has for some years been
opposed to these appointments. and
recently his views have been upheld
by the Daughters of the Confederacy
and it is by their request as well as
his own judgment that this general
order has been issued.
The Daughters resolved at recent
meeting that the custom OF having
sponsors should be- abolished, as more
money was spent on the young wo-
men and more attention shown to
them than to the veterans by whom
and for whom the reunions were held.
The last two or three reunions have
been voted failures by the old sold
iers on this account.

FOR THE TOWNS PROGRESS.

This city has had it's boards of trade,
it's Business Mems association, and
various organizations of that kind un-
der varying names in its time, and
they have been of material benefit. 1t
is not possible that public spirit is so
dead here to he unappreciative of
the necessity of the maintenance of
some such organization. Ii is essen
tial to the well-being and progress Of
any community.
A business mems organization and
the newspaper are, or should be, the
community's greatest advertising med
iums. A town or city never gets to
be so large or so prosperous that the
public does not need to be told about
it, any more than a business becomes
so great and prosperous that it does
not need to be brought before the pur-
chasing public. A town or city has
its show windows in its parks, its pub
lie buildings, and its fine residential

THE BLIZZARD or 1888.
Its Ninfeenth Anniversary Occurred
on Sunday Last.

Sunday was the anniversary of the
blizzard which prevailed on the Mid
die Atlantic Coast March IL, IL, IS
and IA, 1888, in which Senator Roscoe
Conkling was overcome in the snow
drifts in Union Square, New York,
while walking home and so Severely
exhausted that he died April IL fol-
lowing.
The immediate forerunner of the
blizzard was a cold wave, followed by
rain. turning TO snow. accompanied
by high winds. Telegraphie eommuni-
cation was interrupted from March II
to Is. Railway communication was
blocked during March IL, Is and Is
in New York, New England and Eas-
tern Pennsylvania.
The storm was very severe on the
Chesapeake Bay. Many vessls were
destroyed or damaged in Philadelphia
Harbor, and New York was snow
bound for several days, some drifts
being 20 feet high. Business was
stopped, coal was scarce and no milk
could be had.

I ton Of the man who is thinking of in.
vesting and becoming part Of the

Addressing himself to the subject
Of ~The Newspaper and the Town. =
one A. r. Langs.ry, in board OF trade
address, said: TT is the duty OF the
board of trade and the press to stand
together, shoulder to shoulder. And /
say that it is the duty of the newspa-
per always TO be optimistic and take
the most hopeful view of the future of
the community, to criticise justly when
criticism is needed, but to praise when
ever it possibly can. While the news
paper may be cynical and pessimistic
about certain things, about the local
government, for instance, it should
never be cynical or pessimistic about
the community itself. For newspa-
per TO print anything derogatory to
the town or city which comprises its
particular field would be, not only sui
eida1, but positively wrong. The fierce
ness with which little country week
1y viii champion its own town against
the. attacks and insinuations of anoth-
newspaper, in a rival community in
the next county, generally excites our
smiles, but I tell you that newspaper
is doing only what is its duty"
This is hard sense and good advice,
but it is advice that is quite unneees-
sary to the papers of Martinsbrrg, for
they have adhered to 1t as policy
always. The excerpt is given for the
thoughtful perusal of the individual
business mantle public spirited citi-
zen. The newspaper can do mnch
for community going it alone, but
more can be accomplished by a part
nership of the newspapers and BUSH
ness mems organization of some sort
working hand in hand, shoulder to
shoulder for the good of ali.

Already political predictions are
freely INDUCED in as TO who will cap
ture the nominations for the state of
. fees during the next campaign. Ger
tain influential politicians have pre-
dicted who will receive the nomina-
tons from governor down to the last
man on the ticket OF course, these
predictions are always made some
: time before the campaign opens.
hence they are not worth very much,
but they do give some idea as to who
will be in the race. West Virginia is
in the republican column to stay and
II does not make much difference what
good men are nominated; they Will be
, elected. The present administration
is entirely satisfactory to the great
proportion of the people, and they will
vote TO carry out the reforms promul-
gated by the republican party no mat
ter who is nominated, just so they are
honest. straightforward men But il
cannot be foretold who will be nomi-
mated this far ahead of the convention

Frank Reed. James Hardin, William

structing the sidewalk on East Martin
street Wednesday evening They were
pulled on complaint of resident of
that section, taken before Mayor Har-
rison and fined 1920 each, which they
failed to pay.
The practice of loafing on East Mar
tin street is one that has proved de-
cidediy annoying to pedestrians and
residents alike, and it not infrequently
occurs that men. and even ladies and
children, are compelled to either push
their way through crowd of negroes
or walk around them by taking to the
street. The officers would be doing a
real service to the community by lock-
ing up every drunken white and negro
found in that section. The practice is
not confined to colored men, but many
white men and boys can be found
ioafing and swearing about that section
every afternoon and evening.

.RRusn CREATES EXCITEMENT IN
THAT VICINITY.
Chased BY Dogs, the Animal Crossed
the River, But Returned to West
Virginia Side.

Reports from Dam No state that
big black bear has been in that vi.
entity for several days past, and that
all efforts 10 either kill the animal or
chase it away have proved unsuccess-
full. The animal was first seen by a
resident of that section on Sunday, and
the following day it was chased for
several hours BY the oogs belonging to
the Roach family, who reside near the
dam.
Finding matters decidedly warm on
the West Virginia side of the river,
the bear SWAN the stream that night
and went as far as the Two Locks. a
mile or two up the river, where its
tracks were seen the next morning in
the garden of one of the redsidents OF
the village at that place. Later bruin
recrossed the river, and is still hiding
among the rocks along the stream.
1t is said that one or two men, arm
ed with rifles, have made efforts to get
shot at he bear, but that the ami
NAL eluded them. So far it has been
seen by several persons, whoawere un-
armed and unable to offer it battle.
The animal is supposed TO have come
down from the mountains west of its
present hiding place in search of food,
the heavy snow in the hills making it
difficult for it to get food in that Sec
ton. 1t is the first bear seen in Berke-
ley county in years, and while 1t is ap-
parently not savage and has attacked
no one, there is considerable excite
ment in the neighborhood of the dam,
and residents are getting out their
shotguns and rifles in the hope OF bag
gfng some big game.
