Everybody in Clarkshurg knows
that the street department has USED
the street fiusher at regular intervals
during the year. The Democratic
.snng sheet tries to make it appear
that the fiusher was locked up last
April just after the election and not
taken out until Virginia johnson was
-es~..nated for mayor by the Demo-
cratic gang few evenings ago. SIcn
barefaced falsehoo9s may so IN Tyler
county or over in Roanoke county. va,
but they will not go with mteiIlgen1
neople of Clarksburg.

The Democratic gang sheet busics
itself nowadays with telling its lew
readers about reports that have been
circulated" To read that sheet one
would think that the busy people OIL
busy Clarksburg had nothing 10 40
hit stand around on the street cor
ners, excns.nge gossip and pass on
rumors. A peculiar thing about these
rumors that g<@-s pop up in the
democratic gang sheet is that they are
always just what Flunkey Flu needs
to fill out some editorial space.

Sherman c. Denham has spent years
in helping to build up Clarksburg.
The Democratic nominee for mayor
seemed to forget this fact as Well as
another fact that he himself is almost
a stranger here, when he attacked Mt
Denham in his talk" at the court
house the other night. 1t is safe 70
ventnre the assertion that Virginia
Johnson could live here a whole life
time and not do one-tenth as much
for Clarksburg's growth as Mr.. ZEN
ham has already done.

A yelling Argument.

The Exponent lashes itself into a
fury over recent remarks in the Tele-
gram that it would be folly for any
ward of the city to elect a councilman
who would oppose and obstruct the
general policy of the administration,
in view Of the fact that the new adj
ministration will be Republican.
There is no doubt whatever that the
general ticket to be chosen at the
polls April will be Republican from
mayor to school commissioner, and
that five Republican councilmen Will
be returned to work with the five
Republican councilmen whose terms
do not expire until next year. Yet,
just for the sake of argument, let it
be granted that the Democrats win
everything they could possibly win at
the coming election and there would
be Republican majority in the new
council. 1t is the kilograms con-
tention that it would be for the best
interests of any ward to elect coun-
Gilman who would work in harmony
with the majority instead of opposing
and obstructing that majority. ANY
citizen with a grain of common sense
can see the logic of that.
The Democratic gang sheet tries to
pull the wool over the peoples eyes
by attempting to twist this argument
into the base and false imputation
that the Republicans in council would
punish" those wards that should not
return Republican counciImen. Vir-
ginia johnson is mounting this silly
argument around, but, then, his obser-
vations concerning a locality new and
strange to him have little weight with
local people That argument is
malicious libel and the gang and it's
sheet we'll knows it is. If there should
hn nfcshi r,F xryo1s II,
be done by the Democratic gang coun-
cilmen, who would be bossed annd in
Inundated by the selfish Democratic
gang into opposing everything pro-
posed by Republicans.
The Exponent is strangely incon-
sistent in regard to this matter of
working in harmony with the majority
party or working in opposition to it.
That sheet upholds President Wilson
and the Democratic majority in Con-
gress along with their methods of OBJ
tanning legislation; yet the only way
any representative in Washington can
get anything for his constituency is
by making concessions and working
to certain extent at least in harmony
with the majority. The oppositionist
who Votes no every time his name is
called will meet a similar reception
when he arises for the purpose of so
Letting votes for a measure of his
own That is the way with all legis-
lation, whether municipal, state or ma
tional If every representative OPP
poses every other representative, moth
ing will be accomplished.
There must be. cooperation. Rep
resentatIres IN, thu national congress,
for example, who want appropriations
for rivers ana harbors in one district
would not get It unless they voted for
improvement IN. other districts; nor
would Soasf representative obtain
support Of 6epsure Immediately af-
fecting his section unless he CO.
operated with a member from a prairie
district, who wanted needed improve
ment there.
what hurts the Democratic gang
and its sheet is the fact that citizens
of the various wards in Clarksburg
realize the force of this logic and in
tend to heed it.

The Democratic gang sheet has been
utte1ing falsehoods to the effect that
the streets OF the city have not been
cleaned at any time during the last
year until now, just before an election.
That mendacious organ is invited TO
inform the people-with facts ana
figures instead of fustian and Ease
at what time the streets
have not been regularly cleaned.

city will throw monkey wrench into

STRUCK 600 POUND TURTLE

The raw material was captured in the
gulf Of Mexico recently while the

Of sugar. It was ten feet long,

the biggest turtle any member Of the

tonian struck an obstacle that was at
first supposed to be an uncharted
shoal, but as the obstacle was seen
to be moving the ships course was

and, with the aid Of o derrick, hoisted
to the deck. The ships butcher soon
had the cooks supplied with fresh
meat and during the remainder OF
the voyage there was no complaint

There is no perseverance without
patience. The man who must see re.

sure not to accomplish the most that
is possible for him in life. The spirit
of persistency that can keep plugging
when nothing seems to move is the
spirit that at length inherits the prom

nor the race to the swift, but the per.

lose out because they let up just a

would soon have the JOY of achieve

CHAPTER vI.-continued.

At two o'clock the Gnat was just
making a wide turn at the end of the
slip. preparatory to proceeding up the
line. when Holton saw against the
blackness a deeper black-something
that seemed to move.
1t was out in the bay. perhaps two
head, straining his eyes into the sable
curtain. he found he had lost whatever
he had seen.
Perhaps his Imagination had played
him false. But no. that could not be.
for in his first glance he remembered
that some stars on the horizon had
been blotted out by the object. That
certainly was suggestive OF its tangi-
bility.
Holton went to the little bridge.
and, pointing out the spot where he
had last seen the moving blot on the
night, ordered the Gnat to head in that
direction at haIf-speed.
For five minutes the little craft pro-
ceeded out into the bay. and then sud
denly Holton made out clearly the out
lines OF n small tugboat. with a skin
in tow.

Still no reply. but the propeller of
the tug could be heard churning the
water in excess speed.
Without further word. Holton snatch
ed the rife from the sailors hand. took
quick aim. and let dive. AS a response,
there came five shots In rapid success
sion from the tug. the bullets rattllng
through the Gnat's funnel and venti-
lators.

full exaltation at hearing for the first
time the whistle of bullets discharged
in anger. Right into her." he added.

When within a hundred feet the
Gnat sheered of. made a detour. and
rounded to in front Of the tugs bow.
"Stop!" yelled Holton. leveling the
rife. Stand by that machine gun"
he added In a low tone TO the man at
his side
The tug stopped abruptly. but not a
sound came from her.
What boat is that" called Holton.
No reply.
As the bow OF the torpedo boat
rasped against the tenders OF the
stranger. Holton. his pistol in hand.

Three of his men followed. .lzs.
Then. as though by magic. shadowy
forms arose. A dark figure moved
