Sometlllng Yct Needed.

Answering request OF the Par
kersburg State Journal for reasons
why the Huntington Advertiser
thinks Huntington Is superior to
Parkersburg, the Advertiser enumer-
ates among other things flve cent
gas and better railroad rates and
facilities. That is enough to stag
ger the Parkersburg ambition. But,
it is also enough to make other am
bilious West Virginia cities sit UP
and take notice.
Clarksburg, for example, with its
three cent gas and an inexhaustible
supply, can laugh at the boasts of
cheap gas made by other cities any
where in the country; but when rail-
road rates and facilities are men
toned, the laugh has to freeze on
its face. There have been instances
where Clarkshurg's cheap gas has
been OF no avail in competition with
railroad rates. This is unpleasant,
but a fact nevertheless.
1t is gratifying TO note, however,
that the hope for competitive rail-
road line has not waned among pro-
gressive business men of this city.
Wherever two or three are gathered
together in discussion of industrial
or commercial pursuits, realty de-
veiopments or other things pertain
ing to the expansion OF the city, II
has been noticed, there is talk of a
new railroad. Recent contributors
to the Telegram have put forth the
question. There are great POSSIBLE
tiles in this respect, opportunities
that should not be neglected.
Let the railroad talk go on. The
more OF 1t the better. Let it sinl
into the Clarksburg mind and stay
there that with competitive rail
iroad line into this city, no commu
nifty on the face OF the earth coulC
''hold a candle" to ClarksDurg's I'M
mediate, wonderful expansion. II
a few short years it could be made
one of the most important manufac
turing cepters ~ the Eas+.

The Tariff Gold Brick.

Democratic tariff. apologlsts now
say that the amount or tariff tnat
figures In the cost OF a single arti-
Gle for family use, such as cotton
cloth, boots and shoes, or like com
modities, is not great enough to be
felt and that on this account it has
been impossible to notice any fall
in retail prices since the new tariff
law became effective. II this is so
one may well wonder why anybody
had the brass to declare that the re-
ductions made in the new tariff were

The Bluetield Telegraph takes 81
fall out of this apologistic argument
IN a manner so fitting and proper
that the inference of fallacious tar
III theory stands out strong and
bold. I'VE are not so unreason-
able" says the Telegraph, las to ex-
pect law to be noticeably effective
without more trial than the tariff
measure. but the contention now
made that the difference VIII not be
great enough to be noticed is at
variance with all the promises and
preachments OF those who favored a
low tariff and free trade. They
made much of the fact that the or
binary family used taxed necessities
in their progress through the vale
of tears from the cradle to the
grave, and begged the people for an
opportunity to make new tarin
that would take from the necessi-
ties the burden Of the tariff duties.
The opportunity was given and the
people are waiting for the cost oil
living to be reduced. Now we are
told that the cost of living will be
reduced but it will not be great
enough to be felt on single articles. /"
