Hold n Public Meeting.

All who attended the Board OF
Trade banquet and heard the speeches
made there relative to important feat
ures of Clarksburg were stimulated
to the confidence of greater things
for 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 it did not reach sufflc-
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 speech would prove at a pub
lie meeting, at which all the people
of the county are assembled, and, 1t
is safe to say here, that about all the
people of the county would turn out
to hear Judge Goff
Whether Judge Golf would consent
to this is not matter of conjecture,
though the Telegram does not speak
with authority, but all who know
Clarksburg's most illustrious citizen
and one who holds near and dear his
native city also know that his public
spiritedness 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 and which address
would encourage them to the extent
of leading the community to a great
ness not yet conceived.
All who have the future of Clarks-
burg at heart and especially the ques-
ton 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 Goff
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 mass meeting. The gugges-
ton is a wise one and it is the hope
of the Telegram that the board will
head such movement.

Jury Acquits Pettibone.

Boise, Idaho, Special.-An end Of
the prosecution of the men charged
with the murder Of Former Governor
Frank Stunenberg, except the cases
of Harry Orchard and Jack Simp-
kins, came with the acquittal Of
George A. Pettibone and discharge
of Charles H. Meyer, president Of the
Western Federation of Miners, both
charged with conspiring with William
D. Haywood to murder Stunenberg.
Meyer will return with Pettibone in
a few days to Denver. Haywood was
acquitted last summer and Meyer will
not be tried. Only two men on the
Pettibone jury voted persistently for
conviction and they finally eeded the
verdict to the other 10 jurors.
The case Of Orchard, confessed as
sassin Of Stunenburg and Chief wit
ness against Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, is in the hands of Prose
cutting Attorney Vanduyn, Of Conyon
county, Idaho. No tatement as to
the future procedure in that case has
been made, but it will be called dur
ing the next term Of court at Cald-
well, when it will probably be finally
disposed of. Simpkins IS still a fugi-
tive.

commission was fully capable of Sc
