Clarksburg would get the proper
place in the census books, which in
itself is an advertisement OF a very
paying nature. II the suburbs
would come in. they would enjoy
improvements they do not possess.
Tor instance, Point Comfort would
soon have It's principle thoroughfare
paved. There would be police SER
vice. fre protection. and water. AS
IL is now there is no police protec-
tion and no paved streets. So far
as the street feature of the matter is
concerned. the situation is to be de-
plored. The main street IS a river
OF mud, with not enough volume to
carry the mud on.
clarksburg BY Its charter can not
go out there and pave the main ap-
proach in that direction to the city,
nor can 1t in the other suburbs. The
county itself would be unfair to do
SO. 1t would seem TO be discrimin-
alton on the eounty's part. as the ap-
proaches to Salem. shinnston.
Bridgeport and other towns Of i'm
portance would be entitled to the
same consideration. Thus. the ques-
ton Is perplexing. and just what
should be done is yet in embryo,
but that something should be done
none will deny.
In the case OF Point Comfort, 1T
might be that the franchise Of the
street car company could be constru-
ed to mean that good part of the
paving of the main street would have
to be done by that company. which
would materially reduce the cost to
the taxpayers. The same might
apply to other suburbs after they
have become a part of the city.
At Adamston there may not now
be any such provision. II not, the
oversight is a serious one. Per-
haps 1t might yet be arranged.
Whether these suburbs ought to
become part OF the city or not,
something should be done at once
to make the entrances into the city
the very best possible, but those
who are most benefited ought to
foot most Of the hill.

That Alleged Toadyism.

Whenever any diplomatic move
ment pertaining to the relations OF
the United States government with
some foreign power by the President
or officials OF the department Of
state is announced. some Democratic
newspapers busy themselves in
pointing out how this nation Is in
dulging in toadyism to royalty and
that there is an alleged increasing
disposition to pay obeisance to things
royal.
1t must be remembered that the
United States is a world power and
that in the affairs OF the world it
must OF a necessity take part be-
cause Of the position 1t holds in re-
lation to the other nations OF the
world. This government has a duty
OF self protection. a moral obliga-
ton to fulfill in seeing that human
ity and civilization are kept from
retrograding in other countries to
the extent 1t is likely to AFFECT our
own government in its advancement.
The United States is entitled to re-
spect and consideration in world af-
fairs because OF the large place and
the great interest It has in the
world; 1t must claim and employ
this consideration. Therefore any
effort or any movement to protect
this country's own interests among
the family of nations on the part of
the government executives is mere
ly the fulfllment of duties imposed
upon them by their ONCE.
1t has ever been the distinctive
American policy to refrain from any
entangling alliances and there has
been nothing done thus far during
the administration OF Mr.. Roose-
welt that compromises this govern
ment one jot nor whit with any
other government or organization
under the sun further than the
peaceful, friendly. dignifed promo
ton Of necessary international re-
lations common to the administra-
tion Of any big government.
This stun about toadyism,
funkeyism. obsequiousness sycophan-
cy and other such rot is all bosh. It
Is garrulous chicancery designed by
Democratic hypocries for the pur-,
pose Of souring the popular mind
on the wise and able administration
of this government as directed by
that matchless statesman Theodore
Roosevelt.

Advertisine Grnft.


From time to time merchants and
business men are approached by
solicitors who urge them TO go into
some scheme hatched out in the
name Of advertising the principal
purpose of which is to get an ex-
horbitant price for a little bit of
work. This fake advertising is
dubbed plain graft" by the Com
mercial Union of New York. which
makes the following sensible obser-
vations on the subject:
There is no graft that is work.

business houses than the advertising

no knowledge of the advertising
business, conceives the Idea Of Is
suing something, no matter what, so

at once starts around to find some
gpllible business men who will pay
for IT. Sometimes it's a program.
sometimes a booklet. then again a

which can be inserted the name or

that he could invest his money to
