Estimates Of Reed.

The. newspapers are still saying
things well worth saying about Stuart
f. Reed, expressions Of true esti-
mate of the man and his candidacy
for the Office of secretary of state.
The Gassaway News, the ,Braxton
Central and the Braxton Democrat,
the last a Democratic paper. added
themselves to the list last week OF all
those which are boosting him for the
place, all done voluntarily and with
an eager cheerfulness. &
The Gassaway News says:
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, candidate
for secretary OF state on; the Repub.
lican ticket, is gaining ground as the
days go by. No doubt he is the
leading candidate. In Braxton he il
very strong and the choice of the
majority. He is in every way quail.
fled and will make an efficient and
painstaking official. Let it be Reed"
Added to this is what the Braxton
Central says,as follows:
Hon, Stuart f. Reed, of Clarks-
urg, who Is a candidate for the nomi.
nation of secretary of state on the
Republican ticket, has been,i in Brax.
ton for few days. Mr.. Reed is one
of the most eloquent and learned men
OF the state, hard party worker
clean and honorable, and would make
an ideal Official"
And, now, read what nice compll
ment the Braxton Democratic paper
the organ of Democracy In that coun
ty, says of Mr.. Reed:
Mr.. Reed is a genial gentleman
well qualified for the duties of tn,
Office to which he aspires, and II thi.
office Is to be filed by Republican
none better than he can be found"
These are estimates of Senate
Reed of such a .true.and forclble char
acter that the delegates and all othe
voters can but be deeply impresse,
with their presentation to the publ
in such universal manner, and Har
rison county is proud to be able t
present man OF such high characte
and capability for state Office.

A Biographical Lesson.

The Wheeling Intelligencer strikes
a keynote in the following, which
sounds the danger to mankind of a
too enthusiastic worship of man,
through the recordation OF historians,
who seek to portray men and events
from the viewpoint of their virtues.
without indulging in narrating the
ordinary characteristics OF those Of
whom they write:
Some Democratic newspapers have
been thrown into terrible state OF
hysteria by the belated reports of
Secretary Taft's speech on Memorial
Day. Suddenly thse devoted organs
have become the especial custodians of
the fame and good name of U. s.
Grant and their anguish that any one
should arise at this late day to assert
that he was only a human being and
not demigod, would evoke sympathy
II 1t could be supposed to be sincere.
The New York World, one of the
leading newspapers of the country
that does not share in this hypocrit-
ical condemnation, gives the common
sense view of Mr.. Taft's speech in the
following terse sentence:
ITO touch in propr spirit upon the
early failures OF Grant is essential tc
any Intelligent appreciation Of his
later career
Wholesale and indiscriminating
eulogy of our national heroes, is quite
as injurious as unfair criticism. Tho
lives of such men as George Wash,
ington, Abraham Lincoln and U. s
Grant are national herltage-per
ennial fountoins of Inspiration to thu
youth OF our land. But their valu,
to mankind cannot be more effectu
ally destroyed than by placing then
on plane OF superhuman excellence
to which the ordinary man can neve
hope to aspire. The value of the les
son in every great life Is that It be
came great. in spite of the weakness
to which we are all heir. and in spit
of the difficulties OF which we all hav
to meet. The place OF U. s. Gran
in American history is fixed. It
not endangered: and the indignation
of politicians. who would invoke hi
; great name to aid a losing cause,
; entirely artificial.

Roosevelt ON White Plague.

President Roosevelt's many sided
ness was strikingly illustrated during
the week the conference of Governors
was in session. In spite of the many
interests political, personal and SOC
al, engaging his attention. he found
time to inform the officers of the In
ternational Congress OF tuberculosis
of his acceptance of the presidency
of that congress, which is to be held
In Washington on September 81 to
October u. incidentally in COM
menting upon the Importance of the
anti-tuberculosis crusade from an eco
nomic standpoint, he characterized
the movement as full OF hope for the
individual and sure to confer material
benefit on the country as a whole.
He touched upon the opportunity the
gathering of scientists and investiga-
tors from every part of the world will
afford for the interchange of knowl-
edge and for the consequent increas-
ed efficiency on the part of the med
ical profession to be expected. He
referred also to the strengthening OF
International ties. and to the profound
& er realization of the brotherhood OF
man to be gained from the union OF
all nations in the fight against the
foe-the white plague-that is COM
mon to all. The Presidents accept.

Hold a, Public Meeting.

All who attended the Board OF
Trade banquet'and heard the speeches
made there relative to important feat
Sures OF Clarksburg were stimulated
to the confidence of greater things
Tor Clarksburg. The subjects were
pertinently handled by the speakers
and Judge Nathan COTS address in
particular was one designed to arouse
the greatest enthusiasm possible. as
shown by the expressions of all
those who were fortunate enough to
hear him. 1t was one of his charac-
teristic master pieces of oratory, elo-
quence and hope.
While 1t is well for the board of
trade to gather after this fashion
once year or more and to enlist
themselves enthusiastically In the
work OF the board, yet the city, the
community, the county needs more.
Judge COTS splendid address was not
wasted, but DIT did not reach suffic-
lent number OF the residents OF the
county. The Telegram believes such
an address made at a public mass
meeting would arouse universal ac-
ton. There is not a man in the
county who does not have some part
in the activities OF the county, not one
who does not contribute some part,
either good or bad. AS this is alb
solutely true, 1t Is easily seen how
much more reaching and effective
such cnanob would .prova n q p,,h&
lie meeting. at which all the people
of the county are assembled. and, it
is safe to say here, that about all the
people of the county would turn out
to hear Judge Cor,
Whether Judge Goff would consent
to this is not matter OF conjecture,
though the Telegram does not speak
with authority, but all who know
Clarksburg's most illustrlous citizen
and one who holds near and dear his
native city also know that his public
splritedness and the civic pride he
holds for the place.of his nativity and
the scene of good part of his activi-
ties would result in an eagerness to
address his countrymen on questions,
which are vital to the best interests
of the community aud which address
would encourage them to the extent
OF leading the community to great
ness not yet conceived.
All who have the future of Clarks-
burg at heart and especially the ques-
tion of certain facilities, upon which
the destiny Of the city so largely de-
ponds. should enlist in a movement
to have such public meeting, and,
the Telegram feels assured Judge Cor
will stir all to their best action and
outline in practical ways how the
community can achieve the things
most needed in her development.
1t is suggested that the board Of
trade take steps at once to bring
about at the earliest date possible
such a mass meeting. The sugges-
tlon is wise one and 1t is the hope
of the Telegram that the board will
head such a movement.

tuberculosis Instruction.

At the invitation Of the Woodbury.
Board Of Health representative gather
ing OF citizens met in the Town Hall on
Friday evening to arrange for Tubereu-
losis Exhibit.
William c. Smallwood, Executive Sec
retary of the New Jersey Association for
the Prevention and Rehefof tuberculosis
addressed the meeting and said among
other things that it was the purpose to
form local committee whose work shall
be to educate and create a sentiment
which will lead TO intelligent care Of
tuberculosis patients; to first prevent the
disease, then to prevent eontagion.
Continuing he said, Tuberculosis is a
germ in the spittle which dries and is
inhaled into the system. To prevent
insulation the system should be kept
strong by proper food, exercise and above
all plenty Of fresh air, especially in the
sleeping room. Every third person who
dies, dies from this disease. 'Medi-
clne,n he said, twill never cure tuber-
culosis."
He paid compliment to the sanitary
conditions of the glass factories in South
Jersey, saying, he had found conditions
in every glass factory in South Jersey
superior to city factories.
He suggested that a permanent COM
mittee be elected for the purpose of car
ing for local patients, and securing a
special lecture and exhibit which can be
had from the State Board Of Health in
the near future.
After the lecture was finished an
organization was effected by eecting
VIM. I. Cooper, president; FL. S. Davis,
secretary; DR.. Z. E. Parker, treasurer.
The meeting voted to appoint an execu-
tive committee of at least one person from
each society in Woodbury., the chairman
to appoint the committe which will be
announced later
The societies represented were the
Glass Bottle Blowers Union, Goodwill
Hose Company, O. U. A. NJ, Foresters,
