Wanted-a Theater.

1t is a great pity there is no the
ater in Clarksburg of suitable size
and equipment to take care of the
principal travelling theatrical produc-
tons. The lapse of good entertain
ments of this character resulting
from the destruction a year ago
Of the old Traders Grand opera
house by fire is keenly felt these
long winter evenings.
OF course, there are two good
vaudeville show houses and two
moving picture theaters in the city,
all of which do their share toward
amusing and entertaining the pub
lie. but they represent a particular
phase of the theatrical business and
not the field Of the lone night
stand" houses.
Negotiations we're made several
times after the old Traders house
burned down for the erection of a
large theater here but unfortu-
nately those who had the necessary
capital and the, theatrical promoters
could not reach an agreement in re-
gard to the finances. 1t was de,
clareds by the former that a rental
necessary to pay a nominal interest
on the money required to build
suitable theater would not bC
paid by the latter, while the theat'
ricaI agents were equally emphatic
in their belief that a higher rental
than what they offered would rem
der the business improbable tc
them. Hence, there being no profits
in sight there was nothing do
ing.
The whole misunderstanding ap

the house required and also its fur
lnishings and equipment. one opin

State Senator Henry Zelliken, Of
Brooke county. is using the Charles
ton Gazette in an attempt to prove
that the Pan Handle News is I'M
Democratic because it fails to sup
port Senator'S Watson and Chiffon,
and he strongly intimates that that
newspaper has to be paid to be DEM
oCratic. If Senator Zflliken looks at
the matter correctly, he ought to be
impressed with the grand opportu-
nifty there for a repetition by that
fountain pen and check book artist
down at Charleston last winter. If
the Pan Handle News wants money
to support Watson and Chiffon,
there is no logical reason to believe
that its needs will not be supplied.

Committee EXEMPT,

When woodrow Wilson COTTON the
following he evidently did not mean
to apply it to that star-chamber
meeting of the Democratic National
Committee:
II am against the whole system
of privacy in relation to the public
business"
at is evident Wilson enteEtaips the
idea that 1T is none of the nublic's
business what the Democratic Ma
tional Committee did in private.
Enough happened at the star
chamber affair to give the lie to
newspaper reports that harmony
retgned and it certainly is the pub
lies business to know this.

ion was entertained that only 4
house about the size OF the old
Traders could be probably operated
in clarksburgs aud the opposite be-
lief was also maintained that a much
larger and much better equipped
theater would draw. the crowds and
make a reasonable amount OF
money. The latter contention, how
ever, is well taken. Clarksburg out
grew the old Traders opera house
years before it was destroyed and
when really good attractions we're
billed there, hundreds Of people
were many times disappointed be-
cause they could not buy seat
tickets. But for this reason the
theatrical business would have been
far more profitable than 1t was in.
the later years OF the old Traders
house.
1t will be granted that the show
business is not what It ought to be
owing to vaccinations of theatrical
syndicates and the mistaken belief
of many managers that what the
American people want to see on the
stage is an inane show of the slap
stick variety and blood and thunder
of dime novels. 1t is
remembered, however, that when
really high class productions, such
as "The Lion and the Mouse"
Madam X" and others of the kind,
were produced here. there were
great outpourings of people and
hundreds could not obtain tickets.
Business of this kind would pay pro-
vided the cheap-John shows were al
lowed to drift. Too much import
ance has been attached to shows of
this class, locally in years past.
Clarksburg is known throughout
the theatrical business as a good
show town and people here are
aware of that fact. There is suc-
ficient patronage here for first
class theater properly managed and
If any one can perceive that fact
there ought to be no worry nor I'M
easiness over a reasonable return
from the money to be invested.

.slies used 81 the national commit
tee meeting byiCol. Gutiey, 81 Penn-
syiyania, does not Spell harmony.
The committeeman had a.
sembled from ali over the United
States to name a date and place for
the next national convention. That
was practically all the committee
had to do. But. 1t could not be done
the first Stony session. There was
too much strife and too much con-
tiict Of ambitions and 1eaderships
for that. and so the committee adj
journed until the next day without
doing what It had been called to
do.
AS pointed out by the Pittsburg
Gasette-Times, MIR. Bryan has had
Ia great dea. to say about the virtues
OF an open caucus, but he went in
on the executive session which was
behind closed doors, and presumed
to be secret. Woodrow Wilson has
been demanding that all political
and public business be conducted in
the light of the day, and not in the
privacy Of committee room or an
executive Office, but his followers
went along. with the executive ses-
sion at the threshold OF a national
campaign in which the presidency is
at stake. We have been told many
things about the new influences in
Democracy. but it was noticeable
that CHARLES F. Murphy, the Tam
many chieftain; Tom Tagart, of
French Lick Springs fame; and
Roger Sullivan, of chicago-as
fragrant trio as ever dominated a
great party-were decidedly in evil
dence. Between the inconsistencies
OF the occasion and the bad blood
engendered over rival candidates.
and the Pennsylvania contest the
meeting is not likely to inspire con-
fdence throughout the country.
Mr.. Bryan suffered an ignomin-
ious defeat. He had no legitimate
place in the committee to begin
with, but took his seat on proxy
correct enough under the rules, and
yet in bad taste. He was there to
humiliate Col. Gufrey, once his
friend and patron, by the same
brutal methods that obtained att
Denver in a190S. Mr.. Bryan's
game failed this time,
however, and his threat to appeal
'to the people" fell upon unheedingI
ears. The vote which confirmed
Col. 'Gutfeys right to membership in
the national committee was at the
same time a reputation of Col,
Bryan's counsel and rebuke 20 his
arrogance. 1t is notice to him that,
II he chooses now to go out and be-
tray the Democratic ticket s he did
in 1904, he is welcome to do SO,
but that he can no longer manipu-
late the party to suit his own sweet
will.
The various lines of high thought
and action SO loudly advocated by
Bryan, Wilson and others prior to
the committee meeting were drag
ged into the mire by them, when
they stamped insincerity on them by
acting directly opposite at the COM
mittee meeting and they now ap-
pear to about as much advantage
and credit as that harmony on paper
only,

BOWLING NEWS.


The last half of the season in the
'Clarksburg City Duck Pin League
was officially opened Tuesday night
when the Adamston team played and
defeated the Druggist team two
games out of three.
The Druggists members were
not all present at the alleys Tues
day night but as it was the nrst
game after the holidays and all
were anxious to get the league
started of, and the three members
of the Druggists team present
selected two men from the audience
and rolled the game.
The league promises to be much
faster the last half OF the season
than it was the first, as every team
with the exception of the Crystals,
which will retain its old players, will
be strengthened. The Crescents, IN
der the management of Earl Dres-
bach. will be hard team to beat.

find two more to fill up with, he will

game. Scory, of the Adamstor

scarlet will have become thing OF
history only, like the Tyrian purple
of antiquity. 1t is made from the
dried female of the cochineal insect
(Coccus cacti). They are gathered by
brushing the branches of the nopal
cactus on which the insects feed, as
soon as they begin to lay their eggs.
They are then desiccated in ovens or
killed with boiling water. 1t has
been estimated that one pound OF
cochineal contains no fewer than TO-
900 distinct insects. The color Is
brought out and fixed by chloride OF
tin. Only a few plantations of the
nopal cactus now remain-hence the
fear that the dye will soon become a
thing of the past, at any rate, unless
some other substance is found on
which to feed the insects.
