Trench rats seem to 20 for every
thing They have rendered captive
balloons useless and even attacked
sleeping soldiers. The evil is all the
more serious because the rats are ac-

The military authorities have made
several attempts to get rid of the
plague There was a talk of utilizing
the virus which the Pasteur institute
produced 80 years ago, and which gave
excellent results everywhere. The

BROOKS
RIGHT MAN TO
KEEP IN OFFICE
Course Public Life Shows
Him to Be an Ideal Officer
in Every Respect.
tBy William Alden Garnett)

''Let well enough alone" Is trite
axiom, but nevertheless good strategy
and should be kept in mind on cleo
ton day. When public official has
performed the duties Of his office
honestly. faithfully and impartially
he should be retained in office.
Harry T.. Brooks, chief OF police of
Clarksburg, Is candidate for re-elec-
ton. Is there any reason why he
should not be retained In office?
There is not! Chief Brooks Is kind
1y. genial man with none OF the ar
rogance OF ONCE or the brutal dlsre-
gard of the rights Of those who are
charged with violations OF the law.
He is no third degree" inquisitor
and is willing to give the most friend
less and degraded lawbreaker a
square deal.
No man in Clarkshurg is more
ready and willing to help the lame
dog over the stiIe'' than Harry
Brooks. lam speaking advisedly, for
It was only the other day that l saw
him give all the money he had on him
to a comparative stranger, who ap-
pealed to him in dire distress. Said
the chief: II am sorry that haven't
more to give you. You can repay me
when you are able. If you never do.
I'll be lust as rich by and by"
While in office Chief Brooks has
made life unnecessarily hard for no
one. He has done his full duty and
wronged no one. Why should he not
be retained in office? Is 1t because
some one else wants the Job? That
Ia not a good reason.
lam not OF Harry Brooks's political
faith. but l am sufficiently loose
skfnned to split the ticket for man
like Harry Brooks. Let US let well
enough alone.

Senator Tom Taggart..

the late Benjamin Shlvely, as senator
from Indiana. insures the election of
two Republican senator's from In

Tom Taggart Is probably the most
perfect living specimen OF that type
OF political boss which was the prod
ust OF tho fortunately outworn and
dlscredited style of machine politics.
Like most men who achieved "boss-
ship" in the old style politics. he IA
a man Of considerable personal charm
and magnetism, but his staunchest
friend cannot truthfully deny that
he is a reactionary of the first

That his appointment to the Sem

confidence. It could not be other.

sennte prospects.

That the next Senate will be Re-
publican is the firm conviction OF the
political prognosticators. A change
of eight members would evenly divide
the Senate and leave the deciding
vote on important questions to the
vice-president. A change OF nine
would give the Republicans ma
5or1ty of two.
The estimate of the Republicans
and-what is more importantly
well-informed and impartial newspa-
per correspondents is as follows: that
the Republicans will gain one sena-
ter in each of these states, Maine
New York. New Jersey. West Wiz.
ginia, Ohio, Montana, Nevada and
Nebraska, and two in Indiana, max,
ing ten in all. They class Maryland
and Arizona as doubtful. but think
the strong probabilities are that the
latter will return Republican te
succeed Ashurst.
Some of the correspondents claim
that the Republicans will lose sena,
tor in North Dakota, although thai
prediction is stoutly denied by the
North Dakota Republicans. Taking
the newspapermer's estimate. there
fore. the Republicans will gain al
least ten, probably eleven. and stand
a fair chance to gain twelve. but will
lose one, SO that they will control
the Senate by majority Of from two

That Expansion Scheme.

II Is significantly astounding that
the Democratic machine Of the city
has made the discovery that Clarks-
burg Ia too small for 1t to live In.
True, it Is, that machine has never
proapered much here. but that is its
tault and no one else's. 1t merely
failed to grasp opportunity, clinging
as 1t has to its traditions" habit
particularly Democratic.
Why 1t processes now to have been
awakened. 1t does not make clear to
some. It's sudden solicitation for a
greater and better Clarksburg, with
whose marvellous development 1t has
had SO little to do, is more or less
puzzlEng to those who are not famll-
lar with the impelllng motive, that
of deluding the voters into the belief
that the high class city government
today IL poor because the suburbs are
not within the corporate limits. Any
one, even the school child, easily see
through this new scheme" of talking
expansion Of corporate limits, a
scheme merely to give the Democrat
lie campaign a little life which all
realize is completely lacking.
Extension OF boundary lines is a
community question, and not one that
the Democratic candidates can ac-
complIsh, however sincere they may
be In their advocacy, and when the
time comes the people themselves
will attend to it. Such extension
will not be brought about in a day.
nor should 1t be made political
question.
The board OF trade, which Is rep-
resented as wanting a greater Clarks-
burg in size, doubtless deplores the
fact that any set OF men should UNI
dertake to make the question politf-
cal That organization in It's work
for Industrial and commercial devel-
opment carefully and Btudioualy
avoids injections OF politics In the
same. The board is non-polittcal and
1T Is unfair and tndiscreet that at.
tempt should be made to give the
impression that that organization IL
| in any way responsible for the Dem
ocratic or any other city candidates
for that matter.
No set of men can assume to tel
the people OF the city and its sub
urbs that they shall unite themselves
under one and the same government
and expect to receive support.
Again. since the Democratic ma
chine has made the discovery that ex
panslon would be OF such great bene'
ut to the city and community, may
| the Telegram not ask why 1t falls t.
,support the candidacy of Robert Nor
Isris for school commissioner? The
school district includes oil the terri
tory that machine would have within
the corporate limits. That machine
knows that he has made good al
school commissioner and is one o.
clarksburg's most successful business
men, while the Democratic nomine'

expansion scheme Is merely to ad

candidates at the polls. solely tina

that "a discriminatory customs tariff

that British trade should render this

hostility to us.

and that tariff No. 8 should be higher

Norwich Proposal.
Norwich proposed: "That max
imum and minimum British tariff on
imported manufactured goods should
be set up, with a sur-tax on goods
from enemy countries. "A reduction
to be allowed to Allies and neutral
countries in return for special recip-

Liverpool, Leicester, Derby, Brad
ford and many other great seats Of
industry had similar resolutions, diff
fering only in phraseology. showing
a practical universal sentiment for a
tariff law which would revolutionize
the establlshmed economic system.
Manchester's resolution, sent In be-
fore It's board of directors had been
overthrown because they adhered to
free trade. voiced their view thus:
'Tt il highly undesirable at the pres
emit time to be committed to any
Fsuch far-reaching decision as the
modification Of our present fiscal sys-
tenn" But this resolution, the only
depression for adhering to the old
Ipolicy-was withdrawn, as Manches-
tier itself had reversed this policy and
was choosing commercial directors
favoring a tariff.
All of these varying shades Of tar
liff view from different parts Of the
country were finally Incorporated in
two resolutions, by Birmingham and
tLondon, the first for a tariff law fos-
fterig and safeguarding British indus
tries, and the other for reciprocity
with British colonies and allied
