Let Us Beautify Charles Town.
Editor Spirit of Jefferson:

Editor Spirit of Jefferson:
Dear Sir.-Your suggestion in the last is
sue of your valuable pape- that We should
have Clean UpDay and take concerted ac-
ton to teautify both pubic and private
properly was most timely. When spring
comes it works in our blood, and there is
scarcely person who does rot want to seize
q rake and broom and in some crude way
remove unsightly debris, and nave some
sembiance of neatness. even if their home be
not much more than howell.
While the fever is on let us see what We
oan do. In every family where there are
children they should be encouraged to plant
some flowers and it will give them new
interest in home. Most of us try to keep
the front yards looking p-esentable, but how
much some grass seed and flowers would
help the back yard. The clever writer OF
Fruits and Fields" suggests as p elimina-
~ TO cleaning up SIC. each householder
should SIX his neighl3i to allow him to
view his own propsssy from the vantage
point of the neighbor's back porch and oack
windows. What q revelation it would be
to many of us when we saw the outlook We
are presenting to our neigh bor-thst pile Of
ashes or lumber. those tin cans, that rag
hanging on that post. left there by a care
less maid. Surely after such gu inspection
we wovld rush to work to clean up and
plant some identifying vines and flower
and grass We are much like the ostrich, we
hide our heads and fancy no one is seeing
our untidy premises. We often hear the
criticism from strangers that Charles Town
lawns are strangely bereft of shrubs aud
flowers. while everywhere hideous stables
shut out lovely views and ruin our best
streets Stables are n. cessary, but should
never be put OH the street and should con.
form in architecture and painting to the
house. As the best example of what can b.
done see Mr.. George Hagley's PREMISES

The Presidents Message.

In his message to Congress- delivered
last Tuesday in person, President VII.
son urged upon that body the fact thatri
had duty to erform in granting the
people the proposed tariff reductions for
which they are clamorlng. The pres-
dent realized that he must speak strong
ly if some of the senators espe cially were
to be kept in line for the single bill pre-
gram of reduction-and he did. He also
asked prompt action. He thous hit the
cvuntry had right to prompt action in
or Ter that the burdens of the people
might earlier be lighteued and in o,der
that the business interests might no
longer be kept in suspense. One of the
best thoughts in the message says the
Wheeling Register. was that the intell-
igent people of this country demand that
business shall thrive under the law of
nature, tine law of free business, and not
under the laws of legis' alton, of artificial
arrangeme nts The president added
some sound advice when he spoke ter
thorough consideration for every action.
but that no delay might result he asked
that the solons confine their attention to
the one matter of tariff reduction, The
message was epoch making in It's brevity
but full. 1t is SO SHORT that even "he
who runs" may find time to read, and it
is message we'll worth the time spent
upon it.
A special from Washington to the
Wheeling Register. under date of April
g. says: Col. John T. McGraw, the West
Virginia Democratic National Commit
teeman. had a conference with President
Wilson today and urged the appointment
of John w. DAVIS, of C aiksburg, for
judge of the circuit cour, of the United
States for the Fourth circuit. He also
saw Secretary McAdoo and recommend.
ed the appointment and George w.
johnson, of Parkersburq, for internal
revenue collector for the district of West
Virginia.
