the cooperation Of all the good peo-
pie OF Clarksburg. the members OF
the Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church wish TO express their appre-
citation, especially TO ID. II. Kyle, for
assisting with the music; Mrs. p. II:
Lowry. for entertaining DR.. g. /.
Withrow; John Burns for his eff
Gent service as janitor, and the COM
mittee of ladies who SO. kindly. fur
nished meals for the friends and Wis
itors of the church.
They desire further. to heartily
thank the Daily Telegram for so ac-
curately announcing the services
through its columns, and DR.. c. 1.

spring sermons and the wonderful

proyid coming to this city.

fact that 1t was just twenty-nine weeks
on that date since the publication o,
the news OF the sinking Of tho Lusl-

ment by Germany of her numerous
slaughter Of women and children was
concerned. our state Department seemed
to be Irpotent.
That situation Of deadlock will. APP
parently, be permanent. unless the peo-
pie are stirred to emphatic protest.
Why would IL not he well to repeat
on each recurring day OF the conclusion
Of a new week OF deadlock a similar
article, shorter or longer, till tho weeks
run into years and the years, perhaps,
into decades
Constant ~reiteration would finally i'm
press the newspapers Of the country,
and thus a way might he found TO en-

rudiation of the present policy OF our
Government. founded on the hope that

Beginning where Norton Goddard
Left on.

The policy dealers whose arrest last
June has been followed by pleas Of
guilty In the Supreme Court. and from
whose confession 1t Is hoped TO get
evidence against the present hackers
Of the game, represent a gambling
syndicate not to be compared in
resources with the crowd +. MORTON
GODDARD wiped out. The Al Adams
ring had been unmolestcd for years :
their treasury was rich. and their
associations gave them power. Mr..
GODDARD fought n discouragtng, seem
ingly hopeless fight against them, and
he won it by sheer persistence and
unflincliing courage.
Since ADAMS was brought TO book
the policy game has never attained
proportions comparable with the sys-
TEN he managed. The police have
been alert to check II. and the success
OF the Goddard campaign has not
been forgotten by the public. A num-
Der of attempts have been made 10
reinstate II. because IL returns rich
profits to It's managers, but, like lot
teries. IL is now pretty completely I'M
der control. Yet n month of careless
~ on the part Of the authorities
would bring policy back To life and
vigor. and ceaseless vigilance is all
that will keep II under.
Nobody % has 10 tackle the con
ditions that NORTON GODDARD at
tackled. To-day the repression of the
evil begins where ne left OF, and each
new prosecution recalls the great ser
vice Mr.. GODDARD did for the people
Of his city when he suppressed the
Ubiquitous Al ADAMS and his resource
ful associates.
