stout and His salary.

Ross F. Stout, sherif-elect Of this
county, is at the head of a movement
among sherifrs-eIect to oppose and
lobby against the enactment c: a
county salary. law as proposed by
Governor William e. GIasscock.
Heretofore It was not generally
known that the sheriff's Office IN
this county had become a bonanza

not cost him all told more than
$4,000 a year and ne doubtless gets
Enough out of the Office as jailer
and in fees not included in the $2o,-
600 to pay all the deputies This
leaves him $4,000 year for his
own services and responsibility. No
one familiar with the work of the
sheriff believes for a moment that
he should receive any such big pay,
There are other county officers the
duties OF whom are much more
onerous anil these from the view
point OF salary do not come within
shooting distance of the stupendous
amount paid the sheriff yearly as his
salary
Mr.. Stout may think he is en-
titled to $4,000 a year because his
recent predecessors have received
that amount. But. the state GER
tainIy has the right to regulate that
so that the salary viii be N keeping
with the work performed. There is
no good reason why Harrison county
should continue to pay its sheriff
$4,000 a year because it has paid
that amount in the past
County officials should be servants

through their legislature have the
right to tx the value e the service
rendered. The cost comes out Of

FAR as the Telegram knows
As near as Colonel Edwards
comes to being the candidate Of, the
Progressives IS that he announced
before the election that he was
candidate but the people did not ex-
press themselves at the polls in re
spect to his candidacy. It Is stated
that william N. o. Dawson, state
chairman OF the Progressive party
has expressed 2 preference for Ed
wards but he was speaking oH-y for
himself and not for the party.
Mr.. Dawson has no real ground
for getting angry because everyone
does not declare for Edwards So
far as the Telegam knows no pledge
on the senatorship was exacted from
any OF the legislative candidates
They made no prom ses and they
are certainly all free to do as they
please and act in way they think
for the best. Mr.. Dawson is not
JUSTIFIED in assuming to dictate to
any Of them.

Why you should buy Red Cross
Chr, stmas seals, may be answered
most effectively in the words of a
tweIve-year-old boy in the Duluth,
Mimi, schools. who gave the follow
..ag as his reason in a composition
on the subject:
..The reason I put Red Cross
seals on my Christmas gifts is be-
cause every seal i &c counts one
cent toward stamping out tuDercu-
Iosis in the city and for the mai-:-
tenal1ce of hospitals for that pur-
pose. The seals are also used 70

them IS because my father died OF
tuberculosis and I buy them SO that

son is that If I am ever threatened
with tuberculosis the doctors viii

made by West Virginia at the recent
Chicago land show The show at
tracted visitors from all sections OF
the country and especially from the
middle West and the north West.
Doubtless number of these needed

word for it. They have now heard
of new and better country and many
of them will doubtless head this way

City Has Good Stores.

The enterprise, ingenuity and pro-
sresslveness that CIarksburg merS
chants have displayed in offering
comprehensive stocks of goods for
ne Christmas shopper surely ought to
aid them materially in expanding
their yearly volume of business. The
quality and assortment of these
stocks and the manner in which they
are offered are impressing upon the
local buying public the lesson that 1t
is no longer necessary for shoppers
to send to larger cities for articles
they desire. 1t Will be found as a
general thing that the articles are in
stock here; but if they happen not to
be. the merchant very courteously
offers to set it as speedily as posi-
bic. which is better in several ways
than sending for it ones self The
reputation and responsibility of the
homo merchant always stand behind
these special orders
CIarks burg merchants not only pre-
sent comprehensive stocks this year
for the holiday buyers but they are
better equipped to meet the wants,
comfort and convenience of local
shoppers than ever before. Great i'm

most Of the merchants since last year.
