the prospects in the commercial and
industrial trades become brighter
than ever. What suspension Of OPP
CREATIONS there has been has not been
of formidable aspect. but the ae-
eumulating. demand for business is
bringing about state Of affairs that
is causing these industries to resume
with full forces OF workmen. A
most encouraging feature is the fact
that most all OF the Industrial plants
that are resuming are doing so with
full forces and in several instances
there is an increase of forces
The good report comes from
Wheeling that there is a general re-
sumption Of operations in all of the
plants that have been shut down in
that district. The most of these had
been closed down only temporarily
and their suspension was not an un-
usual thing at this time of the year.
Some perhaps may have closed down
because Of a lull in trade caused by
the money scare while back and the
fact that they are now resuming
again shows aat the money scare
was not of lasting nor serious pro-
portions. The reports OF the re-
sumption of operations for the new
years business. the expansion of
trade beyond ordinary expectations
and the full restoration of confidence
gives further evidence that the money
scar has passed, that the business in

did shape and that the prosperity
that We have enjoyed is of too solid
and substantial nature to keep any
body worrying about alleged hard
times. The hullabaloo about hard
times, sifted down, was nothing more
than political advantage sliced up
on by the minority party any way.
The new year starts off well with
most gratifying indications. that 1t
will be more prosperous than It's
predecessors.

Railroad Law Makes Good.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in It's twenty-first annual report
just sent to Congress. declares that
the amended railroad law has been
satisfactory and productive of the re-
suits sought for and also that its OBJ
servance by railroad officials has
been good, they showing spirit to
abide by the provisions of the law to
the betterment of all concerned.
In discussion OF the operation of
the act the commission says:
The amended law has now been in
force for upwards of fifteen months,
and some opinion may be expressed
as to its operation and effects. The
substantive provisions of the original
act, forbidding the exaction of un-
reasonable charges and prohibiting
determinations between persons and
places, were unchanged by the legis-
latioh of 1906. The main purpose
of that legislation was to provide
more adequate means for the en-
forcement of rights and duties al
ready declared to exist. The vital
principle of right is found in the
obligation to respect it. Without
remedial procedure the declaratory
portion Of any law is little more than
the statutory expression OF sentl-
ment, but when efficient machinery
for securing observance is provided
the performance of definite duties
and the recognition OF definite rights
may be expected to follow in the or
binary conduct without resort to liti-
cation. That this is true in regard
to the amended act, and to an ex-
tent not generally appreciated, is
confidently asserted. Just as the
value of criminal laws is measured
by the peace and security of society
rather than the occasional conviction
of offenders, so the salutary effects
of the present statute are shown in
the more general enjoyment of prev
iously existing rights rather than by
the number of cases in which the
authority of the Commission has
been invoked or the list OF decisions
and prosecutions which makes up
the record of administration.
By railway managers almost with
out exception the amended law has
been accepted in good faith, and
they exhibit for the most part sim
cere and earnest disposition to con-
form their methods to its require
ments. It was not to. be expected
that needed reforms could be brought
about without more or less difficulty
and delay, but 1t is unquestionably
the fact that great progress has been
made and that further improvement
is clearly assured. To a gratifying
: extent there has been readjustment
OF rates and correction OF abuses by
the carriers themselves. Methods
and usages. of one sort and another
which operated to individual ad-
vantage have been voluntarily
changed, and 1t is not too much to
say that there is now freedom from
forbidden determinations which is
actual and general to a degree never
before approached. As this process
goes on, as special privileges disap-
pear and favoritism ceases to be even
suspected. the indirect but not less
certain benefits of the law will be-
come more and more apparent.
The excellent operation of this
law as reported by the commission
is indeed gratifying and makes good
reading for those fault finding Demo
Gratis who assailed it.

Harris ON Banks.

Governor Harris's message to the
legislature of Ohio shows that that
state has SOS state banks with de-
posts aggregating three hundred and
seventy million dollars, and yet there
is no state supervision or examination
of these institutions. All the banks
do is to issue two financial statements
year to the auditor of the state and
publish the same in newspapers. OF
these, Governor Harris says: These
reports show very little that tends to
inform the public of the stability of
the bank. The vital question is what
is the value of securities held for
loans and discounts?"
Urging the enactment of law
creating the office of state bank ex-
aminer. or examiners, Governor Har-
ris advances the following sound
logic:
There are but few calamities that
happen in :. community that do more
to destroy public confidence than a
bank failure. When citizen bor-
rows money of a bank, its officers
very wisely require him to give Sc
curity of well-known value. When
the bank borrows of the citizen, in
the form of deposits, the latter has a
right to some assurance that the con
fidence the State has invited. by
granting the charter, is not mis-
placed"

In another column the Telegram

but the mere publication of 1t does

The article in question is worthy of

George is gentleman of investiga-
ton, research and decisive conclus-
ions.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8. 1908.
Fitzgerald Made Fairmont.


II is a pity that Tom Fitzgerald,
the much ''lamented" general man
ager OF the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, was not born in Clarksburg.
Fairmont may lament his official de-
mise, and why should that place not
go into mourning?
If one win look at the recently pub
lished railroad map issued by the Bal
timore 6 Ohio Railroad Company, he
will find that only one city in the
State has railroads entering from five
directions, and that city is Clarks-
burg. Fitzgerald, however. did not
make the map.
Clarksburg Is the greatest shipping
and freight producing point on the
entire Baltimore & Ohio system, with
in the state, handling more passen-
gers per day than Wheeling, and
more than Fairmont, Grafton, Park
ersburg and Morgantown combined,
with greater money receipts to the
company both for freight and pas
sengers than the others combined
condition which has existed for years.
But the claim is advanced by
Clarksburg people that because Tom
Fitzgerald was born and raised at
Fairmont, and had a pull with the
Baltimore & Ohio for forty-one years.
he sought to make Fairmont the
great interior city OF the State, by
using every method and influence to
build it, and yet, Fitzgerald failed
and Fairmont mourns over his offic-
ial bier.
BY an examination of the United
States Geological report on the Goals
of the state, one finds that the Pitts
burg coal at Clarksburg is eight and
one-half feet thick, while at Fair
mont it is but seven feet and one
and one-half inches thick, yet Fair
mont coal has been pushed forward
and made the center of the region
for the northern part of the State,
and, they do say, 1t is because Tom
Fitzgerald controlled the transporta-
ton and could make it so. Mighty
man was Tom-for Fairmont!
Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the investigation of
railroads owning coal lands. Mr.. Fltz-
gerald swore he had been given a
large block of stock in a big coal
company, because he had been raised
barefooted boy with other Fair
monters and they knew him all his
life. 1t was certainly fortunate for
Fairmont that Tom was born bare.
footed and reared that way. No one
knows what would have happened tc
the down river city, had Mr.. Fitz-
gerald been raised with boots on.
But, there is strong suspicion thai
the block OF stock was merely an ex-
preston OF gratitude for transporta-
tion of Fairmont coal so readily,
obltgingly and extensively, without
thought in those days that CIarks-
burg had better coal which had a
right to be marketed.
So 1t was in all matters of trans
portation and car service. Fair
mont was served to the detriment OF
neighboring places. yet with all this
hammering Clarksburg forged to the
front. Mr.. Fitzgerald had he been
born here and padded around with
the other boys with bare pedals in
the mud and Elk creek. the famous
calf-hole for instance. would as a
matter of the logic of his course
hammered the very life out of Fair
mont. But. twas not to be.
A further glance at the map re,
ferred to shows that Fairmont, serves
in the northern part OF the State one
hundred and thirteen miles OF track,

Foreigners in American coIIeoe,


1t is estimated that more than
twelve hundred young men and wom-
en- from foreign countries are this
year studying in American colleges
and universities. This is more by
some hundreds than ever before and
has been generally commented on,
particularly in the east, as indicating
the widening influence of American
teaching.
1t is not chiefly scholastic teaching,
however, that these welcome visitors
from the countries Of the world will
absorb and take back with them to
their distant homes. However assidu,
ously they keep to their text books
and however much they may try not
to imbibe the ideals of government, OF
liberty, of conscience and of conduct

When the Almanac Originated.

The origin of the word almanac is
derived from the Arabic words aland
manah-to count-and thus aptly ap-
plies to the measurement of time. AL
manacs in ancient days were en-
ployed by the Alexandrian Greeks, but
it is uncertain when they were actual.
ly introduced into Europe.
In 1850 A. D. Solomon Jarchus pub.
lished an almanac, but the first printed
one was brought out in Vienna in 1457
by the great astronomer Purbach. The
most celebrated almanac maker was
the dabbler in magic, Nostradamus,
and since this time almanacs with pre-.
dictions have been in vogue, and their
weather lore and pictorial prophecies
have invariably appealed to a large
number Of people who are apt to put
answering belief in the cryptic re-
marks Of Zadski and Old Moore.
