THE DAILY
NOVELET
NINE A CAKE.
No nutmeg is SO great that sooner
or later 1t won't stick up against a
grater.--Prof. Simp.

The thermometer registered 13
Jumps above zero, but so suave was
the handsome vendors voice, and SO
persuasive his tones, that crowd OF
thirty-four persons, males and boys,
gathered to watch the demonstration
OF Sizzenroth's Miracle Soap.
Watch this lather, men, watch
this lather!" he cried, dipping his
head into bucket Of water and then
rubbing cake Of soap over 1t. This
soap, men, will not only remove ev-
erything from your hair but the col
or, but 1t also is guaranteed to re-
store all the damage done by other
soap and restorers, as we'll as cure
hay fever, grips and small yalises.
Lamp this lather, men, lamp this
lather!"
And in truth, it was some lather.
1t stood half foot from his head on
all sides like the shapeau Of a char
lotte russo.
"Ah-h-h!" sighed the admirlng
thirty-four.
mot to speak Of removing rut and
oil stalns!" concluded the handsome
demonstration. Now, brothers, just
to introduce Miracle Soap to a long
waiting world, I will now sell fifty,
only fifty, cakes at nine cents a cake,
children full price"
As one man, the crowd moved for
ward, but at that second a fire en-
CINE changed down the street and the
entire thirty-four took after II leay'
ing our hero alone in the icy blasts
that were fast freezing his snow-cap-
ped peak into thing Of permanent
beauty.

The Real Basis of Union.

Now, the views of Mr.. Bird and
Mr.. Taft we believe to be extreme,
says the Christian Science Monitor.
We do not think they reflect the gov
erning thought In the progressive
and regular sections OF the Republic
can party. For example, 1t Is. not to
be supposed that the progressive ele-
ment would risk another split by in
slsting that the Republicans shall
adopt their platform of four years
ago as well as their leader. There
have been some notifications OF
opinion on the progressive side since
then. We take 1t that the great body
Of Returned Progressives, and most
of those who still persist In remain
ing outside. would forego minor con-
siderations in order to gain their
main point. We believe, in othe!
words that they would be reason
able and practical. On the other
hand, the Republican party has al
ready taken care to remove many Of
the causes for the discomfort, dissat-
lsfactlon and revolt Of four years ago.
The Republican party Of 1916 Is not
quite what the Republican party was
in 1908 or in 1912. The convention
in Chicago next June will no doubt
differ in many respects from the con-
vention Of four years ago. There will
probaly be no such ruling the next
time as there were the last time. To
put 1t more clearly, with all due re-
spect to Mr.. Taft, the Republican
party has not continued to be this
Grand Old Party that ran steam roll
ers over all opposition in the past.
1t has become progressive.
II there Is going to be reconcilia-
ton between the progressive and
regular elements In the Republican
party it must. as we see 1t. be brought
about, not through an effort on either
side to force acceptance of all its
views upon the other, but by the ra-
tional adjustment of views to the ex-
igencies Of the situation. Looking
over the ground, we should say that
there Is nothing in the Republican
party now to repel the Progressives
DESTROYS Of returning, nothing In the
Progressive program now to prevent
the Republican party from accepting
Progressive candidate.

AS WE GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we needit most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarrystrengthto every organ ofthe
body, whileits glycerinesoothest there's
piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, Of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

taxation even more lightheartedly
than the Liberal party in England did
few years ago. Except In the red
tape imposed by poorly drawn law.
the present income tax Is not burden
some upon the people. But there will
be an increase In rates soon-and II
the Democracy remains In power, II
is safe guess that there will be
other increases at frequent intervals
until we have a situation similar to
that in England before the outbreak
OF the war.
When the resolution submitting
the income tax amendment to the
states was adopted, former President
Taft said that Congress should have
power TO levy income tax, but that
that power should be held In reserve
for use In war time.
England has made fetish OF free
trade, and SO direct taxation Is less
dlsliked In that country than in the
United States. But 1t is undoubtedly
true that II England had not gone
into direct taxation in such a whole
some way before the war, 1t would
today be showing more vigor and re-
siliency in meeting the tremendous
demands now made upon 1t.

Holm IN Save lives.

It Is impossible for Americans to
realize the dreadful situation with
the Jews in the war-stricken regions
abroad to the fullest extent. 1t Is
doubtful whether there could be full
comprehension of the restitution
we're 1t really at our own DOORS Its
magnitude as authenticated reports
show is beyond human comprehen-
sion.
The s5,0Oo,O0O America is raising
the present week will, one might well
say, prove not much more than q
mere mite compared with what the
conditions call for, but 1t will bring
much relief and will not have been
given in vain.
The Jews did not bring on the war.
They had no say as to whether 1t
should be fought. Unfortunately,
however, they are made victims Of the
struggle, innocent victims In fact.
They have to bear its many hardships,
the awful sutferlngs 1t has brought
and continues to bring. Their plight
calls for more than sympathy as that
alone gives no relief and saves no
lives. :.
The Telegram is made sad when 1t
recalls the grim fact that 100000
Of human beings-men, women and
children with bodies. souls and the
like Just like we at home have-are
facing death through starvation, cold
and neglect. They have sent their
piteous cry across the sea for help.
That cry comes to every man, woman
and child in the United States, and
there certainly are but few in this
prosperous and happy country who
can not respond to the plaintive APP
peal.
The Jewish people. wherever
found, however much may exist re-
ligious difference or hatred, are we'll
behaved citizens in the true meaning
Of the term. They believe in law and
order and always contribute their
part in country or community devel-
opment. They stand ready at all
times to promote public welfare and
they take pride in world development.
They are not prosecutors of men and
never have been. They are always
ready and cheerful and willing in
their response when called upon to
help others who are in need and dis
tress. Certainly the good turn they
do others is worthy of our response
In this awful hour with those of the
race across the water. Multitudes
Of American Jews will respond to the
call for relief. That they will be
most liberal no man doubts. But
America will not be satisfied to let
them alone to do this noble work, and
the Telegram feels that the response
will be general, as it should be.
Clarksburg citizens generally should
do their full part, without regard to
race or religion, and thereby by open
ing their hearts and purses not only
sustain the community's reputation
for practical benevolence, but also
spread cheer and bring relief and
comfort among millions of people on
the brink of the grave for lack Of
food and clothing.
Tomorrow is the day set aside by
official proclamation for this work.
Join in 1t whole-heartedly.

The capital of New York furnishes

The capital of New York furnishes
fair example Of the political trend
of the state. Tabulation of the en-
rollment blanks at Albany dlscloses
that there has been Republican In
crease Of 1888 over 1914, a Demo
cratic decrease Of 1858 and q Prog
ressive slump Of 226. In year the
Democrats have lost nearly one-thlrd
on enrolment In that city and the
Bull Moose more than third. This
is a drift that Is unmistakable and
the belief is that the same change
is going on in most of the other cit
les Of the country.
