the extent of plablisnIng an unfair
and infamous falsehood.

Every day snce the person who
tries to sit In the EXponent's ed

Tyler county to teach us all how 70
behave. the Democratic ring sheet
has been insult ng the intelligence OF
Clarksburg citizens with such idtottc
rubbish as the following:
The Democratic gang is holy,
thrice holy, most holy.
The Democratic gang Is not

wisest, most virtuous and most mag
unanimous persons n the community.
All others are thugs, cutthroats.
robbers and pirates This wedding
out process was conducted by the
Democratic county office holders
gang and the pseudo editor OF the
Exponent just three days after the
latter came here as missionary
from the jungIes of Tyler; hence
the Exponent hirel ng knows VIVA:
he Is writing about.
Clean government, honest govern
ment pure, righteous and holy gov
eminent can originate only with Che
Dem ocratic gang. Nobody else knows
anything whatever about holding OF
flee or serving the people.
Everybody who says that holiness
is not synonymous with the Demo
cratic gang is an unmitigated liar.
The Democratic gang Is Heaven
born, Heaven sent, God chosen, the
very acme of perfection. All faith
full adherents should bow their heads
when speaking or thinking OF the
sacred Democratic gang.
Truth, honor, justice, equity, VT
tue and holiness-lo not forget the
holiness part OF it-can find authen-
tic promul cation only in the school

The Clock
Without Hands

The business that attempts to
grow without advertising is
about as successful as the clock
without hands.
All the movements it makes
amount to little; for people
don't know about them.
Yours may be a splendid bus
mess: but people are too busy
to find it out unless you tell
them about 1t by advertising.
They do know about the bust
ness o fthe fellow who keeps
them posted through the coli
umns of this and other newspa-
pers. He invites their trade and
tells them why he wants it; or
rather why 1t Is to their adj
vantage to give it to him.
Being a live business man he
knows how to treat customers
after he gets them. He knows
he can make his advertising pay
cnly by living up to his prof.
ises
Don't let your business be like
clock without hands.
Advertise.
Begin now.

While the Democratic gangs

that a Republican adm nistration

best way it could be solved at time
when there were no appropriat 'ons
available for the purpose. 1t was a
step in the right direction, as every
householder in the city knows and
appreciates: but It was only step,
as the Republican party keeps march

as time and conditions will permit.

The mixed audience that heard Tax
Commissioners Blue construe the pro-
visions of the Yost bill enforcing the
prohibition amendment at the Audi
torfum ON Sunday afternoon came
away In an enlightened state Of mind
as to its drastic provisions. The PEN
alties tor violation of the prohibition
statute are not nominal in then. rs--
ture, but are of prescribed severity
and mandatory. However we may
disagree as to the wisdom and
efficacy of the prohibition amendment
as mitigating the evils of the drilfx
habit, or restricting the liberties of
q large class of the population. there
is no getting away from the fact that
the law was approved by a pharonI-
email majority, and that it is the law
and should be enforced until the peo-
pie have another mind on the sub

The Democratic gang is in favor
of having the people pay a small
sum for the removal of garbage.
This is the system now in vogue.
The Republican party. while appre-
ciating the Democratic Endorsement,
shows its progressiveness by favoring
the free removal of garbage. The
Democratic party wants TO stand pa.;
the Republican party wants to go
ahead.

That hypocritical interest the Ex-

colored school children of the city
probably emphasizes the thought
that the Democratic city convention
meant to have the nomination for
city collector and treasurer left open
until Jack Johnson's return from
Europe.
