had o dozen reasons why she should
send to Chicago for that suit. So
to keep the peace, I hand over the
money and even made a trip up town
to mail that order

Why Clarksburgers should buy

Clnrksburg shoppers should buy

they get better values for. their

Goods made in local factories are

instead Of. having been in q ware

more satisfactory in every way than

"PEACE WITHOUT HONOR"

No man who possesses patriotism
or force of character can be lacking
in appreciation of Theodore Roose-
welt, who is referred to by Julian
Street in Golfers Weekly, as Amer
ica's most interesting citizen Mill
ions disagree with the former presi-
dent, politically and otherwise, but
all fair men must admit that he is a
man "from the ground up."-Tampa
Times.
If Theodore Roosevelt was a dem
ocrat, he would be the idol of the
southern people. In his actions and
utterances, he more resembles An
drew jackson than any man who has
been in the presidents office since
"O1d Hickory" left it. His utterances
in regard to the Mexican and Euro
pean policies of the administration
are very much like the expressed
views of some southern newspapers,
which disgrace themselves by abus-
ing Roosevelt in one issue for saying
very much what they say about the
administration in another. Mr..
Roosevelt said, in the interview quot
ed by the Times, and we would like to
know what American, especially a
Southerner, can disagree with his SEN
timents:
Because I stood up for the army
and navy and. for American rights,
also because of the newspaper car
ICONS of me as a Rough Rider carry
