Man the Hour

Resulting from changed statute
conditions, Clarksburg is undergoing
transition. or in other words there
is a new order OF things here. These
must be measured up to and worked
out. IN the most intelligent manner
possible. Clarksburg's future de-
pends largely upon what Is done now.
The taxation problem is not the
least Of the new things confronting
the city. Sufficient revenue must be
provided it1'i de but not in q manner to i'm
pose hardships The cIty's improve
ment and DEVELOPMENT must. continue
and these depend in considerable
measure on the one whois to guide
the city's destiny the coming year.
There are Social problems to- work
out. They must be solved, in such
manner as to accomp1 N ost for the
public welfare. but at the same time
not make useless and needless sacri-
fees. Satsf5l
Justice Harry Cord on. in years de-
voted to the work of adjusting diff
ferences among men. administering

Connolly fred what Organization follow
ers today termed "broadsides' at the in
dependents. They were charges to the
effect that Mayor Blankenburg's Cabinet,
of which George ID. Porter, Independent
candidate for Mayor, was formerly a mem
ber. had seriously considered selling the
water works for $25,00O.O00 and the gas
works for $60,00O,OO0.
Thomas B. Smith. Republican organ

promised many improvements, but dis

Connolly, as proof of his charges against

the Franklin party campaign bears the

member of the cabinet of the present ad-

campaign expenses on September II, 1915,

HILLSTROM CONFRONTED
WITH LONG LIST OF CHARGES
Man Reprieved by President Mute in
Presence of Pardon Board

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, oct. 16.-Joe
Hillstrom was confronted at the Pardon
Board meeting here today with a long
criminal record.
The /. w. w. poet, convicted of murder
saved by President Wilson from the fir
ing squad october /, was declared to have
been a Mcnamara aide in nation wide
dynamitings and to have been arrested
In Butte during the labor troubles there,
as well as having participated In the at
tempted l. w. w. invasion of Mexico
from California.
Confronted also with evidence of nav
ing been arrested In Layton, Utah, and
San Pedro, Cal, Hillstrom maintained
the silence that has led even his own
lawyers to suggest "he wants to become
martyr" in the /. W. w. Hillstrom
was charged with shooting Layton Dep
uty Sheriff in 1911, but was released for
lack of evidence. The San Pedro charge
was that he had held up a street car.
When President Wilson obtained a 16-
day stay for Hillstrom the effect was to
put off the execution for a considerably
longer time. The District Court must
fix a new date for the death penalty if
the Pardons Board again refuses to COM
mute Hillstrom's sentence.
