Greater uarksburr.

The idea of Greater Clarksburg Is
not an idle dream. Facts and fig
ures assure it. The idea is based on
the truths that must impress.
Secretary Thorn of the Board Of
Trade in an address before the bust
ness smoker OF the board the other
night furnished short paragraph
that contains solid basis for the
hope that the future of the city is
to be great and that heights will be
attained to degree that will eclipse
the growth of any city in the Iinl.cd
States in SO short a period. Senator
Thorn said:
/ have chosen twenty-five of the
leading factories of the Greater
Clarksburg to give you some faint
conception of what We are doing In
dustrially. Their combined capital
stocks amount to $5.572.5O0. pay
rolls amount to $2,S00,0OO, en-
ployes number 1895, tonnage incom-
ing and outgoing, over one-half mil
lions tons. These figures have been
obtained from reliable and authorize
tive sources and can be regarded
comparatively accurate. Each of tho
twenty-five industrial captains are
well worthy of our admiration, conf
dence and esteem. and they are do
ing more perhaps than any other ele-
ment in the industrial zone OF the
greater Clarksburg to make this
city and county the leading one In
the state. They are quiet. reserved
gentlemen attending strictly TO
their own business and anxious to
see this city reach the $4,000 popu-
Ia.ion by 1915, with 100 factories
pointing their furnace stacks heav-
onward and the Greater Clarksburg
filled with smiling faces and happy
homes. My hat goes off to them, for
they are workers, every one, from
the time that the SUMS rays dissi-
pate the mists of the morning until
the stable curtain of night is pinned
down by the stars-and then they
are not done-for the brain contin.
ues to plan for the future when most
others are wrapped in the sleep Of
insensibility.

Republieans AND clty Resenue.

notwithstanding the clarksbnrg
News exhausted its resources IN or.
der to defeat license, the good sense
OF our councilmen prevailed at the
meeting last night and all licenses
applied for were greanted. This may
make the Clarksbnrg News sore and
also make our dry frineds at Fair
mont a little "ouchy." but the fact is
our city needed the money. and In
view of the high standing of the ma
jority OF the councilmen there never
was any doubt that license would he
granted.
The average rampant reforemr,
never practical, did not know that
the city at present was nine thous-
and dollars in debt. evidenced by url-
paid vouchers now lying ON the
clerks desk, and he did not know
that without the license fund these
could not be paid, nor could any of
the much-needed Improvements be
made during the coming year. But,
the Republican members Of council
as well as the Democratic members.
knew this fact, and the former in
the usual public spirited manner,
typical of their party, proceeded in a
way to grant licenses
and secure a much-needed public i'm
provement fund. All four Demo-
cratic members, for reasons of their
own, surely not from party reasons.
for the old slogan: Corn whiskey
and Democrat" is as old as tho
party itself, voted against license.
The action of council last night
secures ample funds for carrying on
the city administration for the year
to come, and 1t is not probable that
the splendid Republican list of Of
elected this spring will
leave the city in the embarrassing
financial condition in which 1t was
found. Let us hope Clarksburg has
seen the last mongrel administers
ton. which, being neither Democrat
ic nor Republican. owes allegiance
to nobody and slip-snods through its
year of Office without policy and alb
solutely no knowledge as to what the
final financial result will be.

Duty ON Print PAPER.

1t is a matter OF Importance tc
West Virginia newspapers as well as
their readers as to how Senators Ell.
klns and Scott vote on the pulp and
print paper duty, which will be up in
the United States Senate in a few
days.
II the low rate fixed by the House
bill prevails, it will save the news
papers of this state from thirty to
sixty cents per hundred pounds on
all the paper they consume.
The rate fixed by the House bill
was recommended by the Mann spe.
cial committee. which investigated
the question several months. The
manufacturers are making fight In
the Senate to have a higher rate ol
duty imposed.
1t is hoped that our senators at
lest appreciate the Importance of a
reasonable duty and that they will
be able to have the House bill in this
particular approved and passed by
the Senate.

Smokers, Fads and Fallacies.

who has not seen the purchaser

The idea that the worth of a cigar
can be discovered by smelling 1t be-
fore 1t has been lit is fallacy. AN
other false belief is that dark cigars
are stronger than mild. Coloring

meet the demand for dark shades.
AS matter OF fact. a dark leaf. we'll

ASK tho dealer for strong cigar,

the author. The value OF a cigar is
estimated by burn" aroma, taste.

who reads the article will fail to
rise with the conviction that he is
equipped with a connolsseur's edu-

Among the other fallacies disposed

nicotine. They arc tar oil and per-

Unjust Reflections.


A report recently issued by j. w.
Paul. former mine inspector of this
state, may touch on cases in which
the courts have not done their duty
In the prosecution of mine operators
for accidents. but in justice to the
courts as a whole the report should
have been specific. There is no fair
ness In INDUCING in generalities,
which reflect on the court as a
whole, when but few of them come
under the ban. Mr.. Paul should
have named the courts he had in
mind.
The accusation made by him does
not apply in this county SO far as the
circuit and criminal courts are con-
cerned. both of which have with
some emphasis dwelt on this feature
In charging the grand juries. There
! Is probably not a single instance to
be cited where Judge Lynch did not
carefully direct the grand jury to
this subject, and Judge Maxwell's
charge last week contained the fol-
lowing language on the subject:
THE legislature has deemed 1t
wise to throw special mantles of pro-
lection around the laborers. The
provisions of these statutes in this
particular arc as follows:
"(D. Every person. firm or cor
poration engaged in the business Of
mining and selling coar shall con-
stantly keep on hand at the proper
place correct scales and measures for
the weighing and measuring of coal.
A failure to do so renders the Offend
er guilty Of a misdemeanor.
"t2). No employer of labor shall
coerce or compel an employe to pur-
chase goods or supplies in payment
of wages of any particular person OF
at any particular store. If such be
done the offender is guilty of mis-
demeanor.
"(S). No boy under twelve years
and no female of any age. shall be
permitted to work in a mine.
"(D. Operators of mines shall
see to it that their mines are proper
ly drained and ventilated.
go. Oils used for Illuminating
purposes in mines must be properly
tested and must comply with the re-
quirements of the statutes"
What Judge Maxwell said as here
On quoted is certainly plain enough
to be understood. and in connection
with explaining the law on tho SUBJ
ject Judge Maxwell also charged the
grand jury in a manner that left no
doubt as to Its duties and powers.
summing up those duties and powers
of action in tho following tersc
sentences:
Not only are your duties dignified
and Important, and your actions abb
solutely independent of any exter-
ior influence, but your power, along
the lines of your duties is absolutely
unlimited. You may remain in ses-
sion just as long as you think the
public good requires, and you can
have brought before you Just as
many witnesses as you deem neces-
sary. even though it be every soul in
the county
In view of all this what right has
Paul to indulge in generalitles. which
reflect on these two courts?
