stable Gnrer1nent.

A recent address by ATTORNEY
General w!ckersham before the
Princeton class OF 1911 is so sound
that it reminds one of the utter
ances Of Abraham Lincoln. The at
torney general says much in little.
and notwithstanding the fact that
he appears to score the recall and
various so-called progressive move
ments of government, it must be adj
mitted that there is a degree OF
truthfulness' and accuracy of posi-
ton in his words that will not down
even under the earnings OF those
who assume attitudes more for ef-
feet than from a true line of reason
ing for the common good. There is
no disputing the fact that men seek
to make laws to perpetuate their
names and to bring them
fame and while they are do
ing this they are busily en-
gagged in trying to convince the
populace that such laws are impera-
tive for the common good. their OBJ
iect being to obtain popular favor.
What he says about impatient re-
formers is strikingly true. No real
reform was ever accomplished in
day. Agitation for reforms are
good but time is necessary to
achieve and hasty reforms usually
prove themselves no reforms at all.
What sounJder thought can there
be than that effective government
can not be, II spasmod:c uprisings
are to determine the kind of govern
ment? And why should competent
mon consent to act as admlnistrs-
tors OF public affairs, If they are TO
be constantly and continually nag
god?
And. as he says. abuse in govern
ment can continue only until a ma
jority OF the people are convinced
that it is wrong. Unfortunately.
there are schemers who seek tot
undo even the man who as a public
servant is true by vilIifying him,
spreading untruths about him, APP
peaIing to party factionaIism, mag
nifying the weak points of his SER

The Ellls, New Horne.

The Elks of this community are
to he congratulated over the mag
nfhcent new home which they have
erected and elegantly furnished on
West PIKE etreet and which was
formally dedicated yesterday after
noon. 1t Is a club home Of which
any citizen OF Clarksburg may point
with just pride and admiration.
The Elk believes that one OF his
missions in life is to spread cheer
and happiness among his fellow be-
ings and ample provision has been
made toward the fuffllment OF this
mission by the local EIks in their
new home. Many conclusions may
be drawn by moral philosophers rs
to what a man ought to do as he
passes along the pathway of life. as
the duties and obligations of the
average human being are numerous,
but they and the other scientists.
theologians, doctors and In
struotors will point to the mission
OF happiness as one OF the most nee
essary and beneficial in a mans ca
reer. The true Elk has not much
use for the chronic Crouch only.
as subject to be converted into a
more joyful and agreeable being.
This mission OF introducing more
sunshine along the pathway OF
life is not by any means the only
one of the Elk as any one knows
who has the slightest Information
about this noble order, The Elks
try to live up to other virtues and
the great majority Of them do. But,
in carrying out the mission of
spreading happiness. the new home
in this city will be big help. It
viii aid the ElISs greatly in extend
ing the spirit of good Fellowship
among themselves and their friends
as all the features Of SOCIAL enjoy
ment are smordSd in an elegant and
attractive place where men may
gather together, enjoy themselves
and know one another better.
The people of clarksburg and its
vicinity have occasion to felicitateI
the local Elks on their enterprise
and to wish them continued success
in their fraternal efforts.
