Bogus Reformers.

After having advertised to the
world that Philadelphia was sink
of political corruption and that they
We're united in a lofty spirit to re-
deem the city. says the Washington
Post. the so-called reformers MAX
ing up the City Party have gone
down in an overwhelming defeat.
The old-time Republican leaders are
in the saddle, and they have prompt
ly announced that the paralysis re-
sulting from reform" methods is to
give way TO energetic work on NUM-
cipal beterments including the filtra-
ton system. which is expected to put
a stop to the ravages of typhoid
fever.
The "reformers" Of Philadelphia
are thoroughly discredited in their
own community. The people OF
Philadelphia prefer the old regime
TO that insufferable sham foisted
upon them in the name of reform.
The professional ofIice-seekers and
schemers who skilfully fomented
public Indignation against the old
Republican machine had no trouble
in manipulating The ''reformers" to
their own advantage. That part of
the reform movement which was
honest was too hysterical to last and
too guileless to keep out of the
clutches of leaders who added
hypocrisy to the usual vices of cheap
politicians. The net result of the
clamor is that the good name Of
Philadelphia has heen befouled and
a large proportion Of the city's popu-
lation held up to ridicule as the
dupes of bogus reformers.
The experience of Philadelphia is
a warning against needless ventures
in politics. Real reform cannot be
looked for in brief and violent
eruption OF public feeling, which
seeks through untried methods and
men to overturn all things, good
and bad. Inscriptions leaders are
sure to seize such moment in or
der to exploit the city for their own
advantage. AS a rule, these sham
are more dangerous than
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-03-15

the men they denounce. If the peo-
pie of Philadelphia had gone about
the work of reforming municipal
matters through existing party ma
chinery, without unnecessarily pro-
claiming and even Boosting of the
rottenness that aourished there,
actual progress might have been
accomplished by this time.
These comments by the Post are in
g high degree here. The plain truth
however cruel, is told, and all that
need be done here is to stop and
think a moment and it will then be
acknowledged on every hand that the
bogus reformer has been here all this
year.

The Bogus Thunder.

When Harvey w. Harmer was
frothing at the mouth with the
mania brought on by his hunger for
office early last spring he openly de-
clared that there was graft in the Re
publican administration Of the city
government. He said that when he
got in Office he was going to tear
loose and reform things and show
this alleged graft up to the people.
Now, If Mr.. Harmer has run across
any of this so-called graft why has
he not opened his head about it?
Where went all this alleged corrup-
tion there was so much terrible
thunder and hatulent squawking
over?
Harmer was using his hypocritical
reform rhetoric for campaign thunder
purely and simply. When he attain
ed his desires and got into Office, the
thunders ceased, the clouds rolled
back, the sun came forth, the little
brides trilled, and everything was
lovely, for was not Harmer in ONCE
and was not that what the stage
storm was for?

Rescuing the Boys.

Prosecuting Attorney VIII E. Nor
ris deserves the hearty congratula-
tions of the people OF Harrison coun-
ty, for the movement he has institute
ed to rescue the youth Of the county
from the cigarette habit and It's ter
rible consequences. The effects of
cigarettes are so well known to
every one that the subject need not
ne elaborated upon. Users Of them
die young, or go insane, or commit
suicide or become mental degener-
ates, sometimes idiots. The mental
faculties become impaired, the soul
becomes scared, the body becomes
rotten.
There is law against the sale Of
cigarettes to minors. There ought
to be one against the sale of them to
adults. And as there is law against
the sale of them to minors, 1t ought
to be observed. and, when men VIC
late 1T, it is but right that they
should be punished. 1t is sincerely
hoped the movement Mr.. Morris has
started will accomplish the end he
.seeks-the breaking-up of the habit
among boys, who naturally will form
the citizenship of the county in few
years. II they are rescued from the
fate cigarettes have in store for
them.

seven cents? II there was a steal"
when Lafayette c. Grille was mayor of
Clarksburg, what has there been
while Mr.. Harmer has been in office?
The difference between the Har-
mer kind of management of the
judiciary department and the Grille
kind is nearly four thousand dollars.
The intelligent citizen can clearly see
which kind of management is the bet
ter for the city from a financial
standpoint.
Mr.. Harmer's vain and empty
promises and his utter failure to
keep them recall the words written
by the noted Irish novelist, Gerald
Griffin:
Some men are fond of Boosting.
and are prolific in schemes of use
fitness, but are miserably poor in
execution; like some trees they spend
themselves in blossom and never
yield fruit"
The Holy Bible contains in the
book of Proverbs, twenty-fifth chap
ter and fourteenth verse, few words
that are also particularly applicable
to Mr. Harmer's prediction prom
ises and their results:
Whose boasteth himself of false
gift is like clouds and wind without
rain

stated that the county had splendid
officers. as well as stating further
that the Republicans in Office in
clarksburg were clean and capable.
He certainly struck the nail squarely
on the head. when he declared that a
party that ruled the country and
state in such a magnificent manner
was the proper party to administer
the affairs of the prosperous city of
Clarksburg.

The "Dinerence."

At a meeting addressed by Har-
vey W. Harmer in the court house
the Thursday before he was elected
mayor of the city of Clarksburg he
declared that there was something
wrong with the receipts and expendl-
lures of the judiciary department of
the city under Republican admins
tration. He said this alleged wrong
should be righted and made the
solemn promise that II he should be
elected mayor of the city he woul1
find out where the steal was" He
said there would be big difference
in the amount of money collected in
fines and the jail fees during his ten
ure of office. There has been big
difference in these receipts and ex-
penditures during his term but not
just exactly the kind that he intimat-
ed when he was making so many
howery prediction promises. Let
