The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1907-12-20

In paying its respects to JeR Davis
and his oratory, the New York Sun
recalls two incidents in connection
wick the past history of the United
States Senator from Arkansas that
should prove particularly appealing
to those who have been using him
for an idol since he mas beloved a
few Of his furious bellows in the up
per house of Congress.
Pursuing or pursued" the Sun
says OF Old Shirtsleeves as it calls
him, "he wears this label and de-
scription:
All ask is that when / am dead
you will bury me In the old grave
yard and write on my headstone the
motto: He died martyr to the
common people. -"
After giving u few citations of the
Jen Davis oratory. the Sun says:
we want to get money. Gold is
god says the martyr of the common
people. more than sufficient ans
wer to the high combed roosters of
the Arkansas Legislature who report
ed, April 8, 1903. that Governor
Davis used part OF his contingent
fund for private expenses, took free
railway transportation contrary to
law, twice received. from the State
Treasury his expenses for one visit
to the State University"
Judging from these and Davis's
turbulent maledictions in Washing
ton. he appears to be merely another
one OF those blatant demagogic IRE
formers" to be found in various
places throughout the land.

Jolse Fiends, Take Notice,

Those who have written letters to
Santa Claus that contain jests about
friends and acquaintances and sent
them to the Telegram need not waste
their time trying to find them in the
Santa Claus department OF the Tele-
gram. Rather should they save their
efforts in the first place and not
write the letters at all. All such
contributiolOi are consigned to the
waste baskets by the editors of this
paper for the very good reasons not
necessary to outline. The Telegram s
Santa Claus department is conducted
for the children and it is the inten-
ton to continue it so. The Tele-
gram does not want to wound need
lessly the feelings OF any one even in
the Santa Claus department. so those
joke fiends who want to use this
paper as vehicle for their sport.may
as we'll desist.

For the benefit of the numerous
Telegram readers, allow this paper
to reiterate the fact that the Welsh
concert at the opera house tonight
will prove the rarest musical treat
ever in Clarksburg. In their tour OF
this country these royal singers ap-
pear at but sixty places, and it just
happened there was an open date
here and the Presbyterian Brother
hood did not wait to seize the oppor-
tunity. While it is to be a benefit
performance, yet 1T will prove the
greatest the city has ever known in
the musical line.

Don't Jail the Boys.

Circumstances alter cases. That
is what the text book teaches even
the school boy. The lesson is i'm
pressive and most boys never forget
it. But some times men never know
that such saying ever existed.
This has been brought to the at
tention of this paper in a particular
way by representative of a society
organized and promoted for the sake
and benefit OF humanity. namely, the
West Virginia Humane Society.
Too frequently are found in our
jails boys of tender years, committed
without real justification. For in
stance, the 10y boy, whom the au-
thorities at the reform school at
Pruntytown refused to admit to the
institution, for the reason that the
papers in the case did not show a
good case OF incorrigibility. An
other case has come to this papers
attention, that of a boy who would
not go to school, His mother is pow
erty stricken and works day and
night. She does the best she can,
supports the boy and all that. but
can not he at home all the time to see
that he gees to school. The truant
officer arrested the boy and wanted
to prosecute the mother because she
did not keep him in school. If she
had given her attention to the latter
as demanded, she would have failed
in her struggles to support herself
and family. And, thus, there is
wrong in vigorous prosecution OF
such case and certainly not the
slightest kindness in such prosecu-
ton.
But, the main trouble is not with
the truapt and school officers. 1t is
with magistrates and mayors, con-
stables and police officers. Trivial
are offenses but the boys must go be
hind prison bars. The officers seem
to forget that the humane society
exists and that it is a state institu,
zion. clothed with powers to step in
and take care of the youth of the
land, especially those of tender years
1t never turns down deserving cpse
Why not think of the humane so,
ciety, when mere boys are on trial OF
are charged with some offense? II
certainly would be better to entrrst
them TO the mercies and guardianship
of the humane society than to briua
disgrace upon them by throwing
them behind prison bars and starting
them on the downward road in rea
earnest.
1t is hoped point has been mad,
In this editorial that will govern tn,
