Buying in cIarksburg is advocated

Buying in clarksburg is advocated
because:
First-1t gives protection to con-
sumner, avoids deception redress is
possible Immediately, commodities are
made good to the buyer.
Second-It will insure security and
confidence among our citizens and
Independence from the outside world.
Third-When producers know their
fellow citizens are going to buy their
output, they will. on their honor, give
only the best; makes better men and
better work; gives a new impetus to
endeavor.
Fourth-The old adage, charity be-
gins at home" can be given a higher
meaning; keeping all money at home
will give employment to all, and pub
lie aims can be dispensed with. The
greatest charity is to make mortals
self-supporting. Give the workers a
chance to get busy.
Fifth-The Unborn love In man for
his home city is illustrated when two
men, barely acquainted, meet in a dis

tears, because of this bond. Why moi

SPENDING MONEY

Create Demand for Better
Stores.

Civic pride should make every intli-
vidual in town consider 1t a pleas
ant duty to be a brick in the upbuild-
ing Of the broken walls Of the co,n-
munity's finances. One must be a
brick or a hole. Nature abhors a

ole who take living, or even wealth.

ter Scott has told us what will hap

tho people buy in their own town
they create demand for goods. Tie
greater the demand the finer the
quality Of goods becomes and tho
merchants will supply the grade Of
goods that he judges, by former de-
mand will sell. Thus the growth and
prosperity of the town depends on
the individual, like large figures be-
lgin with unit. The community Is
like great and beautiful palace AMI

through which the light Of day comes

forth. Open your window and your
next neighbor, seeing the light on
your easement, will open his, and the
health and beauty of the palace is
thus. perfected. Let every mans slo-
gan be. open window, and every
woman's motto be, buy at home.
Another reason for buying in
Clarksburg is we get more than mere
goods. We get more self respect and
the esteem Of our fellow citizens.

You would feel that your tenant was

that travelling statesmen from New
York, Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburg,
and Cincinnati come to Clarksburg.

IClarksburg the money that is being

cial efforts.
1t is well known, that at certain
seasons Of the year it is the custom
for outside cities to send their travel
ing men to Clarksburg. They pay no
taxes, no salaries, no rent, no light,
no heat, and support no one but EN-
Dloyes in a distant city. Their sue
cess is understood to have been large
IN times past, and, as result, thou
sands upon thousands of dollars are
annually taken from this community.
There Is only one reason that this
condition can continue. "A lack of
thought on the part Of the Clarksburg
purchaser.
In conjunction with the Business
Mems League of Clarksburg which
realize this condition and which re-
cognizes the importance of 1t. The
Telegram has enlisted with these men
to impress upon Clarksburgers how
important it is that Clarksburg money
be kept in Clarksburg. II every
Clarksburger would make a solemn
pledge not to spend single dollar
with an outside firm, with any travel
ing salesman or with any transient
agent, but would pledge themselves to
first endeavor to get what they need
from the merchants doing business
in Clarksburg, the effect OF the wal
would be minimized tenfold. No bet.
ter time has ever offered for the con.
sideration of this question by oul
citizens. The Telegram earnestl,
urges that this thought be taken tt
heart-that consideration be given tn,
importance of this matter, and to es
Itablish that the salaried man earn
ing his living in Clarksburg will spen,
his money in Clarksburg, that tn
local merchant paying rent to loca
owner, will know that the local own
er is going to spend his money bacl
to the very center from which h
gets his income. The drygoods man

every class does not ask that you pat
ronize only him, but to patronize tn,
community. 1t is no selfish propaganda
lit is community appeal.
| Think this over; get it into you
mind; talk it to your friends an,
neighbors. If you do, 1t is inevitable
that Clarksburg will be greatly benc
fitted. From it will come the supper
that helps to make cities. Make THU
resolve: Before purchasing one dol
lars worth of goods outside OF Clarks
burg, will visit the Clarksburg stores

They carry the stock and extend the
courteous treatment that brings buy
er and seller SO closely together.
What Clarksburg people should do
at this 1uncture is to spend the money
IN Clarksburg that they make in
Clarksburg. And where do you get
the money that enables you to support
yourself and family? You answer, in
Clarksblrg. 1t can be asked, why
not keep that money here for wider
circulation? Suppose, If you are a

capable of presenting to it our needs
and the solution that those needs
create, we need properly consti-
tuted, deliberative assembly. Every
one has his opinions, and every one
is entitled to his opinions, and the
melting pot of democratic opinion
is where men gather in public as
sembly, discuss serious problems,
and come to decision. We are all
we'll aware of the fact that, unfor-
tunately for the good of mankind,
diplomacy does not yet conduct it's
business in the open. But diplo-
macy is after all, the act that fol-

the men who are to carry them out
Such a Congress must be an open,
free and frank discussion. The way
to Jewish unity is not forcing all
men to agree behind closed doors,
but to agree that men may differ
and do differ, and, having agreed
that they are entitled to their differ
ences, they can come to some multi
al understanding The more we
make this clear, the more we help
everybody to understand that what
we are after is an open Congress,
not merely public in its delibera
tons, but open to accept the prin-
ciples that all Jews stand for, to in
clude not only the principles of the
Zionists, but also the principles
which those who oppose the Zion
lists stand for. The clearer we
make this, the nearer, | hope and
believe, we shall come to united
Jewry, acting for the Jews through
out the world.
This is my idea of what Mr..
'Brandeis is striving for, when in
his recent masterful letters to Dr.
Adler, he urged again upon the Am
erican Jewish Committee to give a
hearing to his arguments, and he
asked them to consider once more
the call of the Jewish people asking
for an opportunity to express them
selves freely and openly.
In a few remarkable words he
has replied to the untenable posi-
ton of the opponents of a Jewish
Congress, where it has taken fifteen
pages to explain their untenable
position.
1t is my hope tonight that this
assembly will express itself as being
in full sympathy and in full accord
with the decision expressed by Mr..
Brandeis, and that it will show the
sympathy, not merely by applaud
ing the mention of his name, but by
an expressed readiness to follow
Our new leader with full know1-
edge that he will lead US out of the
darkness into the light, and that on
his wisdom and judgment we can
rely, not only because he is himself
great man and a deep thinker, but
because he is now expressing the
opinion of the great portion of the
Jewish people in America.

-AAo'OAASAAo
Mr.. Brandeis has always been
champion of the people. He has
always entered into a cause after
careful study and after calm CON
sideration of the circumstances and
his participation in any movement
has been only after deep convic-
ton that the cause is just one,
and he has always been right
At this time the question seems
to be, "Who shall speak for the
Jews?' Shall it be a few self-ap-
pointed leaders, or shall it be they
whom the Jewish people shall select
to be their leaders? What shall be
uttered in the name of the Jews?
That which small group believe
to be the right thing, or that which
the Jews of this country actually
feel they wish to utter?
One Of the most remarkable
thinkers of our time has observed,
concerning the great war whose
incidents are depressing us all from
day to day,-"There are good
grounds for hoping that one of the
results of the war will be to give a
new and healthy impetus to Jewish
national policy, grant fair play to
their many splendid qualities, and
enable them to shake off the false
shame which has led men, who
ought to be proud of their Jewish
race, to assume SO many alien dis
guises''
Here is a text, I think, which
mi ght we'll be made the basis of a
sermon in every pulpit of Our
temples and synagogues on the
coming high festivals. And l be-
lieve it serves excellently as a text
for what is to be said here tonight,
at this remarkable demonstration.
The war has compelled us to seek
an outlet for the new and healthy
impetus which is apparently ener-
giving Jewish people all over this
country. I have seen this energy
express itself in wonderful enthus-

LAW AS TO BURGLARS TOOLS
Supreme Court of Wisconsin Has
Handed Down Definition That
Constitutes Precedent.

A legal definition of burglars
tools is made by the supreme court
of Wisconsin in State VS.. Bolinski, in
constituting a statute which prohibits
person from having in possession
a machine tool or implement" de-
signed for cutting through or break
ing any building, room or vault, with
intent to use it in order to seal from
any building, room or vault any
money or property.
1t was held that the word "tools"
includes implements used to perform
physical operation when directed
by hand and are movable for such
operation, as distinguished from a
machine, which is a combination of
parts by which, when motive power
is supplied directly, or by relation to
another physical instrumentalitv,
some physical result will be pro-
duced. and the term machine tool.
or implement" as so used, includes
a bottle two-thirds full of nitroglvc-
crime, three pieces of fuse, fitted with
decorating cap, which, when used
together, might cause an explosive
force which could be used to break
a building, room or vault.

GIRL BITES FLYING BULLET
Catches Revolver Ball in Teeth in
Queer AccIdent Which Might
Have Been Deadly.

Shot in the mouth by the acciden-
tai discharge of a revolver, fifteen
year-old Margaret Mclaughlin of
Philadelphia caught the bullet in her
teeth and spat it out, performing a
feat often faxed in stories, but never
before known to have been actually
accomplished. The bullet took a
tooth with it when the girl expelled
it from her mouth, but, with the ex-
eeption of a bleeding gum, she was
uninjured.
Two boy neighbors of the girl were
at second-foor window of the girls
home playing with revolver, which
they thought was not loaded, while
the girl was in the yard. Suddenly
the weapon went off and the bullet
sped downward toward the girl. She
had her mouth open at the time, and
the bullet struck one of her upper
teeth, knocking it into her mouth.
Immediately she snapped her jaws
in pain and crushed the bullet be-
tween her remaining teeth. When
che opened her mouth to spit out the
blood one tooth and the bullet flew
out.
The only explanation of the Curl
GUS case is that the cartridge was
very old, and the force Of the bull
let discharged from the revolver was
not very great. The girl had no
marks on her face when she was ia
ken to st. Joseph's hospital.

From the above figures it would
seem that extra men on trains do not
prevent casualties. They do add to
the total number of employees who are
subject to the risks of railroad SER
vice.
In the legislative hearings at Har-
risburg on the Full Crew Bill, the
tTainmen were challenged by railroad
officers to cite case where accident
had occurred that could have been in
any way prevented by the law now in
effect. They failed to give a single
example. Upon investigation it has
also been found that the extra freight

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 2:

Philadelphia, Feb. %.
The trainmen's organizations assert
that the Full Crew Laws work to re-
duce accidents. To determine this, it
would be only right to take the Inter
state Commerce Commission statis-
tics. In doing this, the great mass of
killed and injured, who are neither
employees nor passengers, should be
excluded in thespresent issue.
For the three-year period to June
80, 1911-the Pennsylvania Full Crew
Law became effective July 19th-the
number of employees and passengers
killed in the United States was 1876.
For the three years since full crew
became effective the list of killed to-
tailed 10,372-an increase. On the
Pennsylvania railroad for six months
before the Full Crew Law was in eff
feet and for the first half of last year,
