sion as giving Sufficient proyocatEon
for the eQuivocal stand taken On that
question, or for holding 1t over his
head as club or hostage? Who can
deny that the President, tn his desire
for brief session, had the country
with him, or that the sentiment every.
where is not favorable to a prompt
and final vote on reciprocity?
We're reciprocity matter of dcmes-
tic concern solely, 1t, too, might have
been postponed until next winter,
along with other tariff questions, with
cut evoking a murmer of dissent But
as 1t is, the United States stands
pledged to act upon the question Of its
ratification with the utmost dispatch.
an obligation the President felt called
upon to carry cut with all the means
at his command, and one which re-
conciled the people to the holding Of
ali extra session, but only that far,
and no further. A storm Of disapproy-
al would have met a message embody-
ing the propositions which the Dem
ecratic House proposes to put on
their passage this summer-Washing

USING RECIPROCITY AS A CLUB

The subordination of the Canadian
reciprocity agreement by the farmers
of the House legislative program, as
adopted by the Democratic caucus, re-
ceives no explanation, unless it Is to
be inferred that it's consideration
waits upon the passage of tariff meas
ures more distinctly democratic. The
action of the caucus has queer look,
IN face of democratic approval of re-
ciprocity in the last Congress and the
definite and authoritative statement,
from time to time, that it would have
prompt consideration at the extra ses-
sion, and would be ratified. Unless the
House democrats are prepared TO
come cut into the open and disclose
their present position, the about-face
policy can but create a most unfavor-
able impression among all classes
both In this country and Canada.
Who lis going to look upon President
Taft's action in mentioning only reel.

WHAT WE MAKE 1T.

Every opportunity for the advance
ment of Martinsburg should be taken
advantage of The increased output
of the industries in the community,
with the consequent increase of the
number of employees should bring
greater business to the merchants and
others In this city.
When we stop TO consider the vast
amount of money that is paid out in
this city every month by the manufac-
tories and other industries, together
with that which ie paid to clerks and
other employees, Martinsburg has no
mean pay roll. Add to this the money
that comes to the farmer and the
fruit grower for his ops ami you
have total during the year that will
astonish you.
The greater portion of this money
should be spent right here in Mar
tinsburg and those who are in bust
ness should see to ii that it is spent
isfied any more with the ordinary
class of goods. They demand the best
that the markets afford. The green
grocer can sell strawberries whom the
price is seventy-five Or eighty cents
box and other imported garden
truck in the same proportion.
Our women demand the latest in
dress goods and head gear and the
merchants must have their stock up
to-the-minute if they expect to keep
this trade, The young men, and old
er ones toe, must have custom made
clothes, no more hand-me-downs for
the average man, and their haberdash-
cry must be the real thing"
Do people that live in dead" town
demand such things? What would our
grandfathers have Thought of such liv-
ing? Marti1sburg is live" town and
will continue to be such as long as the
people of Martinsburg are determined
to keep il so.
The demands are in some instances
more exacting than the supply of our
merchants, then it Is that scme peo-
pie go elsewhere or send elsewhere
for what they want. Would not these
same people buy here if they could get
just what they want and at the same
price that they are asked elsewhere?
1t is up to the people of Martins
burg, not individually but collectively
to see that we have "a Give" town. We
can make this town just what we
want it, Shall it be live" town?

WHAT SINGS.

The New York World sums up the
wrecking of fire Of the capitol at Al
bany as follows:
A pail of water might have put out
the fire in the Albany Capitol when it
was discovered There was no water.
Hand-grenades or small extinguish-
CT would have checked it. There was
meme near With a hose it could
have been drenched. There was none.
A prompt alarm would have enabled
the firemen soon r to control the
flames. There was no alarm-box. a
complaint had been filed that an cleo
trio switch was out of order; prompt
attention might have prevented the
fire altogether. 1t was not attended
to. A loss past the power Of CON-
putation to measure is the result.
We may disregard as almost trivial
the partial destruction of the build.

incongruous medley of defects and
excellencies that it had little perna.

Brunswick Bank to pay That Amount
Despite 100000
Shortage.

In response to the notice given by
John ). Newman and Willard F. Shat
er, receivers for the Savings Bank OF
BrunsWhck, Md, OF which VIM. r
Schnauffer was the cashier. $40 per
sons have filed their claims against
the bank with the clerk Of the Circuit
Court for Frederick county. Most, ii
not all, OF these persons were deposi-
tors In the bank, and the claims run
all the way from a few dollars arp to
nearly $1,000. The total amount of
the claims already fled reaches al
most $4,000.
Wnen the bank went into the hands
OF receivers an expert accountant was
employed to go over the books of the
bank The accountant called in the
passbcoks, and from these verified ac-
counts due depositors of 1929 .S8007.
The amount not so verified is $4,281.2S
making total due depositors of 1884,
1913.
It was found that the assets Of the
bank consisted of $136,7S1.43 in notes
believed to be good, $S,S76.21 in notes
believed to be worthless, and real es-
tate in Brunswick worth about $12,-
600. With money in bank and every
thing in the way of assets, the ac-
countant figured that the bank had
about $19S,282.24 This left a defci-
ency of $35,S79.09. To this must be
added the overdraft in the personal
account of Schnauffer, which amount
ed to $26,075.78, and other oyerdrafts
of $12,87099. There was also an over
draft in the interest account. The ac-
countaat estimated that the shortage
will be $56,0317O.
The receivers have been collecting
the notes as fast as possible, and al
ready have collected good portion
of the money and have it in hand
Notice has been given the creditors
to file their claims, and when this
notice expires the first distribution
will be made. 1t is planned to make
a first payment of 25 cents en- the
dollar The amount to be paid the
creditors will be based upon the
amount that can be collected on the
outstanding notes. If all that is given
as good assets by the accountant
could be collected the amount deposit
tors would receive would be about 80
cents on the dollar. This is not be-
lieved possible, and it is thought that
from go to 70 cents on the dollar will
be paid.

rival OF Venice" with its difficult var!-
atoms, while the latter gave a pleas
ing rendition of The Holy City,
Two vocal numbers added variety
to the concert. Miss limo Thompson
sang very sweetly and charmed the
audience. Contributing to the excel
lence OF her number was the piano ac-
compartment by Miss Myra Cline and
the cello obligatto by Miss Ruth
jones. AS an encore Miss Thompson
sang 1.-THE Rosary" very beautifully.
