FOOTBALL NOW
HAS / B BOARDS
cfarksburg viii Be Well Rep.
resented in the Game
This Season.

The Clarksburg Tigers. that grand
old football bunch, which has
not lost a game for So many
years, will again be on the
held this year. A meeting was
held yesterday when some thirty-two
or more candidates were present and
expressed their willingness to try. for
the team and to lend their assist
ance in making it the best team that
the Tigers have ever had.
The following have handed In
their names as candidates for the
team: Liner, Bell, Robinson, Null
heran, stager, Osborn, Dan and Char
lie Boughner Cough1in, Dawson,
stealey. Gerst. Hepler, Alderman,
o'Neale and Mcneil. Practices win
be held every night this week wealth
err permitting, on the old Y. NJ. @. "A.
lot on Pike street, beginning at Z
O'Clock. All persons wishing to- try
for the team viii report there and all
who do win be given a fair and equal
chance for the team.
Mark Mcdonald will have hold OF
the managerial reins of the Tigers
this year and this fact alone has put
much ginger into the boys for a
starter, for they all know that Mark
will be good manager as this is
not his first attempt at managing a
team. Many will remember several
years back when Mark safely carried
the Clarksburg team through the best
football season that 1t ever had and
this year will be no exception to him.
Cla:ksburg High.
The Clarksburg High will again
have a team on the field and will try
mighty hard to equal their good rec
ord of last season. IL not to better
it, when they tied with Fairmont for
the championship Of the league.
Last year was the first time the
local high school was we'll represent
ed on the gridiron and had less men
to draw from than any other of the
schools in the league. This year
Warrington and Shinnston have been
added to the league making six
teams instead of four, which made up
the league last year.
The high school team is being
coached this year by King, BASKET
ball player from Allegheny College
with a great reputation as a coach,
and it is hardly likely but that the
local lads will win the pennant under
his tutelage. He has many more
players to draw from this year and
it will be hard work for them all
and no favorite3 will be played,
which. when allowed, is so detri-
mental to football teams.
Broaddus College.
1t is not definitely known whether
Broaddus will be represented this
year with a football team or not. No
steps have been taken there to or
ganize team and as time is fast GO
ing by 1t looks as they will not go
forth upon the gridiron there this
year.
Garlic Court.
That game little bunch OF lads that
composed the Carlile Court team last
season will again come forth this year
and it is safe to predict that they
will duplicate their fine record of
last year.

JUDGE TAFTs SPEECH

In panic times upon the banks pro-
duce such disastrous consequences.
The deposit of this money in govern
ment Offices and the power Of the
government who re-deposit that mon
ey in the national banks in the neigh
borhood would furnish a means OF
meeting an exigency that no other
system proposed has thus far offered.
Bryan's Bad Remedy.
This postal savings bank system,
however, does not meet the unquali-
fed approval of the Democratic party.
The Democratic platform pledges the
party to the support of system by
which all the national banks of the
country are required to guarantee the
deposits to the depositors in every
bank, and this guaranty is to be per-
formed by tax upon each bank in
proportion to its deposits, the pro-
ceeds of the tax to constitute fund
from which the depositors OF any
falling bank are to be paid: and II
the amount OF the tax is NOT sufic-
lent to raise the fund required, then
1t is to be raised by subsequent as
sessment on all the banks of the
country, and state banks are to be al
lowed to come in and get the benefit
OF the same guaranty under condi-
tons to be imposed by law.
The remedy proposed by Mr..
Bryan will make the conservative
banker pay for the negligence, care
lessness, lack Of confidence, or dis
honesty of the falling banker. It
takes from one man without fault on
his part money to pay for the default
of another. That is socialistic in the
extreme, and SO violates all equitable
principles that the remedy should be
condemned for this reason.
Mr.. Bryan suggests the expenses
connected with the examination Of
banks imposes a burden on one man
for the default OF another. There is
no analogy whatever between the
reasonable requirements for the ex-
animation OF all banks and the tax
ing out of one mans pockets money
to pay for the fault of another. 1t
is a reasonable imposition upon all
banks that their accounts should be
examined, and that their methods of
doing business should be constantly
under public supervision, and 1t is
reasoning, erroneous as it is refined
to make the pro-rata cost of a general
bank examination a precedent for
taking money out Of one mans
pocket for another mans default.
Guaranty System Unjust.
1t has been shown that in the
state of Connecticut that If this sys-
TEN had been In force during the last
ten years, and the tax had been only
one-eighth Of one per cent. more than
$4,000, 900 would have been paid out
and but $4,000 would have been re-
ceived. This illustrates the unjust,
inequitable. and socialisdc character
OF compulsory system most COM
pletely.
Now let us pass the socialistlc and
linequitable feature OF this system aud

SYNDICATE EXPIRES
Convertible as, Unsold, Returned
subscribers-Dec line in Bonds
Due to Liquidation.

NEW YORK, January 5.-Wallt
Streets attention has been centred for
the last few days on the Norfolk and
Western convertible per cent. bonds,
which have suffered severe declines in
the bond market. Notices have APP
peared at the same time that the Guar
anty Trust Company and several bank
ing houses were in tho market to buy
and sell these bonds.
1t was learned yesterday that the
syndicate agreement under which the
convertible bonds We're underwritten
terminated on December 31st, with the
securities practically unsold. The al
lotments were thereupon turned over
to the syndicate participants. several
OF whom began to liquidateftheir hold

Four blocks of these bonds, asgre-
eating $4,000. were sold In the marke,
