SUNDAY LIGHT
And Power are Being Furnished by

Under the provisions of the new
franchise of the Clarksburg Gas &
Electric Company. light and power
are required on Sundays. Since the
franchise became effective June
the company has furnished such
light and power and will continue TO
do so. Many patrons seem not to
know this as they leave lights on
Saturday night and not returning to
their places of business on Sunday,
they allow the light to burn all day
which fact runs the meter figures
up unnecessarily.

posits as the proceeds of lot of dunn

doors and call on the guaranty fund TO
pay these deposits. Naturally, the de-
posts will be credited TO men in no
way identified with the note itself.
"We had one bank failure in my town
for something like $1,OCO,OO0. This
would have taken more than five per
cent assessment on the deposits of the
slate banks of Oklahoma. Supposing a
bank had 100000 deposits on capital
stock of $4,000. Fifty per cent, or one
half of its capital stock, would be con-
fiscated to make up the one loss. 1t Is
more dangerous to the honest, small
banker than to the large one, because
the large one can prepare himself to
weather the storm.
Under guise of this law an attempt
is being made to put all banks on an
exact equality. The man who has spent
a lifetime in building up an honorable
reputation is sacrificed for the sake of
making some poor, incompetent, dis
honest banker exactly equal to him. 1t
is a mistake to suppose that sacrificing
the assets of the solvent bank is going
to prevent the rascal from failing.
There is more money in 1t for him TO
fail, under this law, than there will be

Near the Closing.

1t is only short while until the
close of the presidential campaign
only a few days in which to make up
by an increased individual effort for
personal inactivity since the convention
day. The campaign managers have
been active, but there has been wanting
the marked individual enort ON the part
of the thinking voter, the man in the
ranks who knows or who ought to know
the necessity of making secure the flu
ture of progress and prosperity. The
time mas come for driving work by
those who have everything at stake.
The issues are all before the voters,
who know them, in and out and through
and through. There is no excuse for
Indifference in sight. 1t VIII do no good
after election to mourn over neglected
chances TO have worked for success
There are just three weeks of oppor-
tunity left.
The sOundneSs of the claims to pre-
ferment made by Mr. Taft and his
party cannot be denied. The firm base
for future building is i'm the pledges of
the Republican candidate, whose record
makes it known that what he promises
he will do. There is nothing shadowy
In the Taft program. 1t has the sanity
and the substance that appeal to the
common sense Of a people who do not

of remedy was worth a pound of cure.
That is a fallicy; an ounce of his rem

Duties of Next Administration.

The function of the next administra-

work lies in the details of furnishing

the executive in making the supervision

close, so careful, so constant, that the
business men engaged In 1t may know
promptly when they are transgressing

LETS CAT OUT OF BAG.
German Manufacturers to Flood
America With Goods If Bryan
Should be Elected.


Should be Elected.
The following cablegram to the New
York Sun under date Of Oct. 3 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:
Berlin, Oct. 3.-The gladiatorial
fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger
man interest in the American Presi-
Dental campaign and columns are now
devoted to extracts from the mammoth
campaign documents of the combatants.
German hopes Of Democratic rictOry
hare been rerired and many merchants
and manufacturers hare suddenly
0rolcn optimistic about a rerision of the
tariff trhich tcW enable them to flood
America trith their goods"
The German manufacturers evidently
are shrewd observers. If Mr.. Bryan
should be elected and his downward
revision" doctrine with ultimate free
trade be carried into effect We would
soon be flooded with German-made
goods Of every description, and our fac
tories could go out of business.
Protective Tarir Theory.
On the other hand. should Mr.. Taft
be elected our friends the German man
ufacturers would not be able to break
through the wall OF protection which
would be maintained for the benefit of
American labor.
The protective-tariff theory as de
fined in the Republican platform, and
as adhered to by Mr.. Taft, is that in
order to maintain high wages in this
country there must be ''the imposition
of such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost of production at
home and abroad, together with a rea-
sonable profit TO American industries"
Mr.. Taft points out that the cost of pro-
duction is determined chiefly by these
three elements: ''The cost of material,
the cost of labor and the interest on
capital, or what is known as the manu-
facturers profit"
The normal operation of protection.
where competition has free scope MIR.
Taft asserts, 'is to lower the cost of
producing and so to reduce prices to
the public. AS consequence, after ten
years operation Of a particular sched-
ule it ought to result that the cost Of
production in this country is made less,
and therefore that the difference be-
tween the cost of production In this
country and abroad is less, and there
fore that the duty ought to be reduced"

The City Man.

According to the National Magazine,
''men In the cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
holidays. Thousands and thousands OF
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises slave and
toll their entire lives away ard at the
end are carted out to the cemeteries
without having had any more enjoy
ment in their lives than a horse on a
treadmill. The nut they toll along In
Is as narrow as a case knife" This IL
not the farmers view of the city man,
whom he sees only during vacation.
when the city man is taking a brief
and much-needed rest The farmer sees
him sporting his glad rags" and mis-
takenly inagines him to be all the
year round only an idle butterfly, con-
Stunning the produce of the horny hand
ed son of toll. The truth, Ii is held. Is
that the city man, as a rule, is the
harder worker and gets much less en-
joyment out Of life. He longs for the
rural scenes and occupations of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years.
A few Of the city folks make big lot
of money and get their follies and
amusements In the newspapers, but the
great majority Of city toilers live
very monotonous and as well a very
laborious and poverty-stricken life. The
farmer, 1t is concluded, has ''the real
thing" while the city man has only
barren aspirations and disappointments
The contented farmer is not only the
wisest but the happiest Of mankind

The Tar;T and tho Farmer.

The farmer does not agree with Can
didate Bryan that the tariff is such a
vicious affair, for it protects him from
competition with cheaper outside prod
ucts.
These are some of the duties which
have been of great advantage to the
farmer that Mr.. Bryan does not APP
