Surely Clarksburgers are ashamed
of their inadequate water works
system.-C harrisburg Telegram
All Clarl1sburgers are ashamed Of
their water works system and blush
. with deeper shame when they think
of the fact that sufficient money has
been spent for a much superior water
system bhan what they have. The
city government has been in the
hands of a gang for years that has
grown rich while the city is getting
closer to. poverty daily.-C larksburg
News
The Daily News thus makes a
sweeping charge Of corruption and
graft against councilmen, mayors and
other city officials who have served
the city for years" How many
years, the News does not care to state,
and as no demarcation of the alleg-
ed extension is made, the inference
naturally drawn Is that dt covers the
present Democratic city administra-
tIon as we'll as other Democratic and
Republican city administrations that
have been since the water works sys-
tenn was established. This ugly in
dictment is too serious to be passed
by in silence, even though it Is made
by newspaper whose owner has
lived in Clarksburg but a compara-
lively short time, and whose knowl-
edge OF local affairs has been shown
to be as ludicrously deficient as his
possession of common sense.
AS the Daily News intimates it is
in possession of the facts that there
has been graft or corruption in con-.
nection with the. city water works
system, it is that newspapers solemn
hut ibounden duty to make them pub-
lie SO that the guilty parties may
properly be punished. The News's
accusation. however, is woeEully lack
ing In substantial facts, and the
Telegram is of the opinion that its
ashaFgs is only an.sIher one OF dts
cIownish displays OF prejudice and.
narrow-mind edhesst But. the Daily
News has boldly accused honest. up
right citizens OF a grave crime. It

SCritics should Come.

Tt will be remembered some of the
Pittsburg papers severely criticised
the coal mining laws of West Virgin
Ia just after the Mononga1 mine-ex
,plosion less than year ago. yet
there's haRe been at qeast.t three mine
horrors In the neighborhood Of Pitts
burg since then, the latest being at
Mariana, where one hundred and
fifty Lives at least were snuffed out
At the time the Pittsburg papers
said West Virginia virtually had no
mining laws and the MononSah dis
aster was the terrible result of that
alleged Fact yet more lives have
been lost in mine explosions In
Pennsylvania since that time than
in this State, II the mining laws of
West Virginia were responsible for
the Monongah disaster, 1t stands to
reason that the Pennsylvania laws on
the subject are no better, and it is
certainly urgent that those newspa-
pers now use heir gratuitous efforts
to drive the wolf from their own
door"
The mining laws in this State may
not he what they ought to be. There
Is no one who is not anxious for them
to be the hest possible. and there has
been an exhaustive study OF the sub
ject of late on the part of operators,
miners and others with that end in
view What may be the outcome of
this study and agitation remains to
be seen.
But, it is a fact that the mining
laws of West Virginia appear from
the viewpoint of mine horrors to be
the equal of those of Pennsylvania,
and in the Clarksburg and Fairmont
regions at least the operation OF the
mines is as careful and capable.
Possibly. it might be we'll for the
Pittgburg critics to personally visit
the mines in these regions, examine
their operation and famdliarize them
selves with the West Virginia mining
laws and their. application before be-
ginning the task OF 'devising efficient
mining laws for Pennsylvania.

 Kidneys Take Out tPOisOns

Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of this dread disease, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex. color or rank, will be interested to know that while for many years rheumatism was cOnsid- cred an incurable disease. now it is one of the easiest afflictiOns of the human body to conquer Medical science has proven i0 not a distinct disease in itself. but a symptom caused by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste products of the system which should be filtered and strained out in the form of urine. The functions of the kidneys is to sift these pOisOns and acids out and keep the blood clean and pure. The kidneys. however. are of sponge-like substance the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure, be- come clogged and inactive, and fail ing in their function of eliminating these poisons from the blood they re- main in the veins. decompose and set ting about the joints and muscles. cause the untold suffering and pain oi Iheuiils'li9ii anu DdSheiSii'' oilch producing complications of bladder and urinary disease. weakness. etc. The following simple prescription Is said to relieve the worst cases of rheumatism because of it's direct ac- tion upon the blood and kidneys, re- lieving. too the most severe forms of bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce {; Compound Kargon. one ounce: Com pound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three ounces.

CHICAGO BUSINESSMAN
 IN ARIZONA MINING
Thomas M. McGilI, Manufacturer, Sees
 a Mos. Roseate Future.

Thomas M. McGill a Chicago bus mess man, president of the Alvin Manufacturing company, maker of the Alvin folding go-cart and vice presi- dent of the United Gold Mines compa- nv, operating near Congress, arrived in town yesterday morning, accompa- nied by D. J. Sullivan. the president of the mining company. Mir. McGill is a brother in law of Mir. Sullivan and also brother in law of John Luke of this city.
 He has been a frequent visitor to the territory but this is the second time he has ever come to Phoenix. He was accompanied this time by his wife and daughter, who are enjoying the winter climate of the Salt River val ley for the first time. MT. McGill has had considerable trade newspaper eX- perience. For a long time he was con- nected with the Railway Age, the Railway Review and various journals connected with the lumber trade.
 He is a member of the Order of the Black Cat. to which only persons of the lumber trade or persons more or less directly connected with the lum- boring industry may be admitted Since a cat has nine lives, the number g cuts an important figure in the order and keeps cropping out in all it's do- ings.
 For instance, the initiation fee is ss99; the great "concatenation" or convention of the order begins at nine ofaInal- m the ninth day of the ninth month of the year There are other "cOncatenatiOns" wherever enough lumber men get to- gether m any one spot to "concate- nate" but the mystic figure has something to do with the minute and hour of the meeting.
 Speaking of mining matters. Messrs. McGill and Sullivan said that opera tions We're proceeding satisfactorily on the United Gold property. It is a gold mine. and nothing else. Arrangements are being made for the erection of thirty ton mill and concentrating plant which will soon be in operation. Mir McGill said that they were fortunate in having back of them plenty of cap ital and men whom the late financial depression has not invested with cold feet and who in fact were so happily situated that they were never touched by it.
 Regarding his own business, NIT. McGill said it twas one which no panic could affect. Experience has shown that babies come into the world in bad times. just as numerously as they do in prosperous times. and babies must have go-carts.
 Messrs. McGiI and Sullivan left last night for Red Rock. They will go from there to Los Angeles. returning to the territory some time next week.

CREATING A NEW DOMINION

By nine o'clock the main street of the New Zealand capital began to as- sume a gala day appearance In the little park before the parliamentary buildings groups began to gather. and across the street facing this public square, the houses seemed to have been all rented and filled for the oc- casion with dark skinned Maoris. These aboriginals took the celebra- tions sedately, but seemed to enjoy them more than did their white broth CTS. About half past ten o'clock the garrison band and guard of honor from Alexandria Barracks approached, and within the next fifteen minutes the little park was fairly well crowded. There was no jostling or striving for space. The vice-regal party drove up silently in carriages and mounted the steps of the parliamentary buildings. Sir Joseph Ward, premier. made a few remarks. then Lord Plunket stood forth at the head of the steps and read the Kings proclamation:
 Whereas. We have, on the petition of the members of the Legislative Coun- cil and the House of Representatives Of our Colony of NeY Zealand, deter mined that the title of the Dominion of New Zealand as the designation of the said colony. We have. therefore, by and with the advice Of the Privy Council thought fit to issue this, our Royal Proclamation, and We do order, declare,and command that on and after the 18th day of September, 1907, the said Colony of New Zealand and the territory belonging thereto shall be called and known by the title of the Dominion Of New Zealand. and We hereby give Our Commands to all public departments accordingly.

 New Zealand was now a dominion, and Sir Joseph Ward then stepped forward to call for three cheers.
