BONNEVILLE AFTER
 THE SAN|TAR|UM

Prof. H. s. Traylor, former superintendent of the Bonneville public schools, who is spending today in Conway, states that Bonneville will make a strong ef. fort to secure the location of the new state tuberculosis sanitarium According to MT. Traylor, 1000 acres of fine, high and rolling land, covered with pine trees and lying within one mile of Bonneville, will be rendered to the state free in consideration of the location of the institution at that place.
 Everyone who has gone over the proposed site for the sanita rium," says MT. Traylor, lis at once convinced that it is admira ply adapted to such purposes. We have secured options oil ,ooo acres of it lying in one body, and are in position to make present of it to the state. In addition to this, we will agree to build fine macadam road from the city to the site of the hospital and will offer many other Inducements. y
 MT. TIaylor called on Dr George s. Brown member ot the board of trustees of the sanitarium, this morning and outlined Boone ville's proF osition to him. He says the members of the board to whom he has talked speak very encouragingly of the Bonneville proposition and seem to regard it a good one. The board has al ready practically decided to locate the sanltarium at some point south of the Arkansas river and west of the Iron Mountain railway, on ac count of the superior climatic and soil advantages of that section of the state.

our Nelghbor,s ATnirs.

1T is Of moro than pacing interest
to know what our neighbors are do
ing though We have no desire to be
inquisitive or TO enter into the affairs
of others, but, when they tell II
themselves, especially in the interest
ing way the Weston Independent puts
it, there is more than one clarksburg-
er, who sits up and takes notice.
The independent this week con.
tains the following article as to what
is doing along certain lines in It's
town:
"Proscutng attorney swint has
given the gamblers to understand that
this will not be an entirely healthy
locality for them hereafter, unless
they quit their lawlessness and go to
making an honest living, and some
Of them are said to have stood moi
on the order of their going. They've
been breaking up housekeeping. It's

odd hangers-on are unnerved with
sheer alright, and the shady femi-
nine characters whose coming and
tarrying about town have long been
too protracted, are gone or going, or
wondering what will happen. There
is no purpose on the part of any one
to persecute any person. Quit your
meanness, as Sam Jones used to say,
7 is the command, and behind that ulti.
matum are the prosecuting attorney,
the sheriff aud several other local Of
ficers, the circuit court. the law, and
some solemn official oaths.
These officers deserve the support
Of every decent and law-loying man
and woman in Weston. We are as.
Stunning that the fight is on to a finish
and there is no reason why it should
not be, Meanwhile this paper most
heartily approves of the movement :
Now, If the next grand jury at wes-
ton happens not to find any indict-
ments against the classes the wes-
ton Independent is talking about, it
will be up to the Clarks5urg News
and the Salem Express to say the In
dependent was mistaken about there
being any necessity for breaking-up
housekeeping.

A Great Deed of CI,orl,y

The OFFER of Hon. Levi p. Morton
to present to the State of West yir-
ginia the Red Sulphur Springs as a
site for n state sanitarium for the
cure of persons suffering with tuber-
culosis is one Of the greatest deeds
of charity that West Virginia has
ever known. The ofrer is one that
demonstrates to every one that large
charity which the intlmates of Mr.
Morton have always known to be his
The care of those unfortunates upon
whom the great white plague has
laid its hands is care of definite in

Same Thing Here.

The city government of Weston
the last year must have been some
what akin to that the chief of police
has been giving Clarksburg, If what
is implied in the following from the
Weston Independent is correct:
The action OF the county officers
to suppress gambling is in harmony
with the reform spirit prevalent
everywhere. For a time 1t looked
like Weston was trying to be the last
spot on the map to awake, but the
better element OF the people wilt well
come this innovation. We under
stand that this order includes the re-
sorts kept by lewd females around
town and near to it. It's surely time
1t were being done"
1t is a well known fact that the
places raided here by the chief have
been as scarce as hen teeth. to use
an old expression, indeed in most iu-
stances some one had to put 1t up to
him by swearing out a warrant be-
fore any thing was done, and the
most wholesome effect was when
Judge Lynch took a hand. the Judge,
you know. is a county officer.

II Docs Not Pay.

h There Is nothing in the crooked
route, even when one seems to be
winning out by taking IT, declares
the Baltimore News in commenting
on the case of a young fellow who
was caught day or so ago trying to
cash forged checks and who carried
OF the matter rather coolly. He
may appear to have had good time
for few weeks. that paper states.
but he will have to pay a heavy PEN
atty for his fun. He goes to Jail and
has his life blighted just as he was
entering upon it. He will come. out
of confinement with a stain upon him
that win last for all time without
hope of the future,- drag upon
somebody and probably a menace to
society-all for a few weeks of a
sort of pleasure that is not half as
satisfying as the healthy amusements
that every decent young fellow with
clean mind can find all about him,
amusements that do not leave sting
and do not injure the mind or the
morals Of those who indulge in them.
1t does not pay to be crook. Even
this youth, callous as he seems to be,
wanted to keep the news of his down
fall from his mother and wept when
he told of his crime. At least his
downfall and the punishment ought
to be warning to others who are
subjected to temptation. There is
but one, way to play the game and
that is to play 1t fair. You will get
more satisfaction out of that course
than the man who gets ahead by
devious methods can ever know. no
matter how serene or care-free he
looks.

Undue Alnrrn.

The Parkersburg Sentinel is I'M
duly excited to the stage of alarm
over the statement by Governor Daw-
son, in his biennial message to the
legislature, that the State demands
more money than the present rev.
enues afford. Says the Sentinel:
Governor Dawson, in his message.
said. in regard to an alleged short
age in the treasury, that the reports
were without foundation. They were
ia la Roosevelt. simply falsehoods.
Further along he said, The bust.
ness OF the State demands more mon
ey than the present revenues AFFORD.
IF there isn't enough money there
must be shortage. If there Is
enough money no more is needed.
But the Governor says there must be
more taxation. 1t is very simple
problem If YOU once know what it is
and how to work IT,"
Ha, The plot thickens! The State
needs more revenues in order to car
ry on the increased work and enlarg-
ed responsibilities occasioned by its
expansion and the general progress
of things, and, presto! the Sentinel

The proposition that newspaper adj

note that in no case where it has been

The dog question We have ever with
US. Yesterday a vicious dog bit a
citizen. and the owner was arrested
and fined. but the fine was. OF course,
suspended. In this case the suspen-
sion. was to stand during the good be.
havior of the dog. Nothing was done
to the dog because dogs are a sacred
institution in Parkersburg. 1t is a
good deal safer TO be a dog than a
human being in Parkersburg under
