Anti.yice Crnsaide.

II Is stated that Harry l.. Brooks,
chief of police. has declared his In
tention to inaugurate an. anti-vice
campaign in the city.
The Telegram feels certain that the
people OF Clarksburg welcome the
announcement and they are earnestly
hoping that he will push the cam
paign with effective vigor.
In order to make the campaign
what the chef is said to declare he
wants 1t to be great diligence and
vigilance will have to be observed
and the efforts must be constant.
More than deporting undesirables
VIII be necessary. Deportion should
be backed by embargo. Quarantine
against their return with few ex-
amples Of imprisonment, and street
work. II necessary In the case of
men. Make life so miserable for
them, II they return, that they will
he willing to leave voluntarily and
thank their stars that they have left
Clarksburg forever.
/ Just what methods the chief ex-
poets to employ in his anti-vice CAM
patgn are not disclosed, but 1t is pre-
sumed that he will go about the work
In systematic manner and cover tho
city thoroughly. Not only should
Surveillance be kept on places which
give the appearance OF evil but they
should be entered and thoroughly
searched.
Complaints will be cooperative in
the chiefs campaign and he will well
come all such. To have a clean,
moral city no one should refuse to
aid by giving information or to shirk
his duty to tell the authorities where
vice exists.
To mete out such punishment as
will rid the city Of the social evil
should be the motto and doubtless
will be of the city authorities as q
part Of the anti-vice campaign the
chief has on.

The board of public works has
dxed the state tax rate this year at
ten cents on the hundred dollars
valuation. This is four cents higher
than itwas last year. The increase
affects all property both city and
county. 1t is a result Of the big de-
crease In license money caused by
the operation Of the prohibition law.
The Law also deprives the cities
where saloons existed of license
money. These facts are merely pre-

European War the Goat. "

Let it be sincerely hoped by every
patriotic American. citizen that the
situation brought about in this coun-
try by the European war will bring
the Democratic spendthrifts and in
Icompetents at Washington rapidly to
their senses, even though the chances
OF realizing such hope are slim.
The Washington Missionaries are
squtrmtng around now in hunt for
"a goat" to blame for the financial
predicament into which they have
put the country. The latest maneu-
yer In this direction is the announce
ment at Washington of a .'suspicion"
that hard times are being caused by
unscrupulous dealers who are deter
mined to profit from the war at the
expense of the consumer. Basing the
action upon the suspicion" invests
cations have been ordered in several
cities, which doubtless will result
chiefly in affording jobs for Demo-
cratic henchmen and the filing of
worthless. undressing and bulky
reports somewhere.
1t must be admitted that the Eu-
ropean war has accentuated the sit
uation but, as matter OF fact, the
nation has been experiencing hard
times and financial difficulties ever
since the destructive Democratic tar
if bill has been getting in It's deadly
work. Under competent manage
ment and sensible protection OF
home industries, the country would
now have been much more strongly
fortified to Withstand the stress occa-
stoned by the European struggle.
The European war is going to be
the goat" for the Democratic the
orists. It will be blamed for deficit
in the country's revenues, despite the
fact that the national treasury. was
running short several millions OF dol
lars long before the war broke out.
1t will be blamed for a condition that
induced the sale of some of its
battleships in order to produce rev.
enues that should have been derived
