Today We Celebrate
west virginia,s birthday

West Virginia is ffty-fouf years
old today. It was on June 20, 1883,
that the accession from secession"
Of the people in the western part Of
the Old Dominion ended In the birth
Of a new state, with Wheeling as Its
capital. Wheeling will therefore to-
dav be the scene of festivities In COM
memoration Of the event. The ALI
ance Of the West Virginia mountain
eers with the Union and the admis-
sion Of that state into family Of
states. had a profound effect upon
the fortunes of the Confederate
cause. It prevented, for one thing,
the success Of the plan for the inva-
sion northward to Lake Erie. East
ern and Western virginia had had
differences long before the outbreak
of the Civil War. This conflict only
served to bring these difference to q
head. In 1851 a provisional state
government was formed In West vir-
admission into the Union. Two years
later the new state government went
into power at Wheeling. Governor
Pierpont, provisional administrator
Of the state, went out Of Office and
the new governor, Arthur I. Bore
man, a Scotch-Irishman, was inaug-
urated. Thus was West Virginia
launched on It's career as the thirty
fifth state In the Union, with the
motto. Montani Semper Liberi''-
"Mountaineers are always free"
West Virginia has In the past few
years been the scene of warfare be-
tween capital and labor. Their bat
tleground has been the coal fields In
Kanawha county. Paint Creek, Beay-
er Creek and New River are names
with which newspaper readers have
become quito familiar and they are
usually mentioned In connection with
disorders arising out of controversies
between coal miners and coal opera
tors.

MAKING MORE TROUBLE

Just what r. G.. Packard & Com
pany are driving at In connection
with their lands on the south shore
of the Raritan river is not plain. 1T
is evident, however, that they are
determined to make as much trouble
for Middlesex county, and Perth
Amboy in particular, as they can.
The announced Intention of the
company is that they propose to erect
q shipbuilding plant on the site in
question. We can put little credence
in such a proposition. soundings
made on the meadows, where these
people propose to erect a shipbuild-
ing plant, have shown that the muck
goes down for ninety feet or more
and still no permanent bottom has
been found. Any amount of filling
on such a foundation would never
make 1t possible to establish a ship
building plant worthy of the name
The best that we can imagine is a
marine graveyard, such as was MAIN
tanned at the foot of Madison avenue
for good many years. and from
which the city is now fortunately
free.
The Packard Company's first at
tack was against the city in regard to
I,n ~ ait1a ln hta
effort they appealed to the War
Department, with the demand that
the city place the pipes below the
river bed under the stream. The
company well knew that such a de-
mand on the part Of the War De-
partment would mean the expendi-
ture Of a large sum of money by tho
city. Apparently, this what the COM
pany wanted. Now, 1t seems. the
company has turned its attention to
the county in an effort to have the
bridge moved.
As far as the bridge is concerned
1t will likely move of its own accord
very shortly unless some radical steps
are taken to make 1t permanent In
the line of rebuilding. The bridge,
itself, is not OF so much importance
as the approaches on either side,
which are now well established and
which would cause considerable in
convenience to have relocated. 1t
seems, however. that there Is nothing
too radical for the Packard company
to suggest. They appear to be deter
mined to do everything they can to
embarrass the people in this section.
While it is doubtless within their
power to cause considerable trouble,
1t will probably be found that no
single corporation is more powerful
than a municipality or an entire
county. The rights Of the public in
general must come first, and Perth
Amboy and Middlesex county will IN
sist upon those rights at all cost,

FOR COUNTY sANrTARIUM

Realizing the many demands upon
the Board of Freeholders in keeping
pace with the rapid growth and de-
velopment of Middlesex county, we
believe that the freeholders could DO
nothing that would be received with
more qualification on the part of the
people than to take steps at once for
the erection of a county sanitarium
for the treatment Of tuberculosis.
The freeholders had the matter
brought forcibly to their attention at
their meeting Monday afternoon
when a delegation appeared before
them to urge the construction of
such an institution. In reply. tbs
freeholders showed that they were
fully alive to the necessity of the
sanitarium and that they had given
the matter much consideration.
1t is true that Middlesex county
has had many unusually heavy
drains upon 1t during the past few
years. Not the least of the demands
have been the new county building,
reconstruction of the court house, o
new Jail and new county work.
house. Ali of these things have cost
great deal Of money and have come
In az extras In addition to the extern
sive improvements to the highways
and building permanent bridges.
The fact remains, however, that
one of the heaviest drains on the
taxpayers Of the county today is the
care of tuberculosis patients In the
various sanitariums to which the
patients are sent from this county.
With this money that is now being
paid elsewhere devoted to an institu-
tion In Middlesex county much Of the
expense of maintaining such an in
stitution would be covered
But the economic feature is the
least to be considered. From a
humanitarian standpoint alone the
construction Of sanitarium In Mid
dlesex county is highly desirable.
Persons now stricken with tho
disease are taken from their homes
ana carried many miles away to live
among strangers at just the time
when they should be surrounded by
their loved ones and receive the care
and attention. comfort and encour-
agement that only close friends and
relatives can give.
Besides the humanitarian point of
View, there is the sanitary aspect to
be considered. At the present time
there are many tuberculosis patients
who remain at home because of the
inability to take them to some of the
sanitariums which are caring for
Middlesex patients. These people. in
spite OF the utmost precautions
which. sad to relate, are not always
taken cannot help but assist in tho
Apfead Of the disease. With : sani-

NO MORE CATARRH
A Guaranteed Treatment That Has
Stood the Test of Time.

Stood the Test of Time.
Catarrh cures come and catarrah
cures go, but Hyomei continues to
heal catarrh and abolish its disgust
ing symptoms wherever civilization
exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales Of this really scientific treatment
for catarrh grow greater and the
present year should show all records
broken.
If you breathe Hyomei daily as d.
rected it will end your catarrh, or it
won't cost you a cent.
II you have hard rubber Hycmsl
inhaler somewhere around the house,
get it out and start it at once to for
ever rid yourself of catarrh.
The Clark & Brainerd Co., or any
other good druggist, will sell you a
bottle of Hyomei (liquid). start to
breathe it and notice how quickly it
clears out the air passages and makes
the entire head feel fine.
Hyomei used regularly will end ca
tarrh coughs, colds, bronchitis or
asthma. A complete outfit, including
a hard rubber pocket inhaler and
bottle of Hyomei. costs but little. No
stomach dosing; just breathe it. 1t
kills the germs, soothes and heals the
inflamed membrane.
