CLARKSBURG
 SIDELIGHTS.

5 CLARKSBURG, W. Va, Aug H. They tried out many campaign tunes here, the local bands which paraded proudly up and down the streets. But 'sThe Sidewalks of New York" got the biggest welcome, Just as Sure as the World Goes Round" which has a catchy air and likely will be heard through the campaign.
 "And you'll see, John Davissin Wash ington will be-
 "As sure as the world goes round. '
 That is the burden of it.
 "A Good Actor''-That is the title given to the democratic candidate by the moving picture men here. It all came about when he posed in advance for them at Goff's plaza, where the notification ceremony was held. DasiA without saying a word, went through all the motions of making a speech, walking about, pounding his fist, smil- ing at times, serious-faced at others and it was convincing.
 The proud Clarksburg citizens have been digging in the records since Davis came back home. They have discovered

 Everybody here is carrying canes. They run in all colors, bright yellow, dark brown, black. There's no midway here, but there's an avenue of '.hot dogs" and soft drink stands which runs for two blocks, lined on either side by vendors, who are doing large business. Scattered all over town are other booths for dispensing refresh ments.
 Senator Walsh of Montana, is the center of great curiosity among the people of this city. Everybody wants to see the Teapot Dome investigator. T want to see Senator Walsh--you know, the Teapot Dome man. is heard frequently.
 A candidate mustn't talk too much, for other than political reasons. Mir. Davis, whose throat was examined in the morning before the notification ad- dress, was told by his physician to go easy on his voice during the day, so that he would be in shape for the big speech Monday night.

 The motion comes as a result of the attack on Mrs. BlaneY Collins and her eight-month-old baby by John Milton, negro trustry of Camp No. 6.
 The practice of making trusties of convicts has been in use for many years. Because of Milton's attack, residents of Jefferson county have asked that conyicts be guarded more closely, an that none, be given special freedom privileges.

marvellous understanding Of finance
AMI positive genius for details, and
that they were not slow to take ad-
vantage of it is shown by his COM
mittee assignments. His work on the
Appropriations and Postoffice and
Post Roads committees earned for
him designation as one Of the strong
men of the administration.
Senator Phipps maintains a large
office force in his senate chambers in
Washington, where he keeps in daily
touch not only with the details Of
his committee work but with every
thing affecting the many interests Of
Colorado and the west.
Phipps' interest in the development
of the west was awakened many years
ago, when he first came to Colorado.
He had spent 90 years in the Carnegie
steel mills, submerging himself in that
The Glenwood post., 1924-10-30

that was in him-his energy, his busi-
ness experience, his genius for detail
and his knowledge Of finance.
Never in the history of the United
States has there been such need OF
men of his type as in that year OF
1918. The war just ended, the whole
world stepped in the horror Of that
titanic struggle and even this rich and
powerful government staggering under
the gigantic financial burden brought
about by the war, and by reckless
extravaganza and criminal waste, un-
paralleled in history. 1t was his op-
portunity.
Men of business ability and impee-
cable honor were needed, men who
knew large affairs from the inside
out, who were not appalled, by the stu
pendous totals in which The govern
ment was dealing-the millions and
billions of dollars, that had been and
were being handled in the effort to
bring order out of chaos.
Phipps went into office-as far as
politics was concerned-a practically
unknown man. He had never held
any sort of office before, but he had
courage, an open mind and he was
ready to work-thrse rare and valus
BILE assets. Inside Of three months he
had loaded upon him enough work to
keep six executive reads busy.

great enterprise, into which he had
stepped when boy Of Lett had
been strenuous work, those first slow
years, but he had stuck it out until
he had won recognition, position and
fortune.
When the Carnegie company sold out
to the United States Steel company
one of the men who had an active part
in the negotiations was the boy who
started to work 20 years before at a
dollar a night, who had risen to the
position Of vice president and treas
urer Of the company. Phipps typifies
the business romance of which all
America loves to read and dream-the
seizing of the opportunity, the over
coming of obstacles and the attain
ment of success.
At the conclusion of the Carnegie
deal, Phipps announced that he wa.
"through with business" and that hi

The following article appearing in
a recent number Of the National Re-
publican of Washington, D. c., shows
that Senator Phipps of this state is
recognized in the east as well as in
his own state of Colorado as man of
wonderful vision and tireless energy
in the way of accomplishing some
thing worth while for the country:
There is no man in the country,
running for the office of United
States senator, who has Lawrence
Cowles Phipps' background of business
experience, and who is, at the same
time, so thoroughly disassociated from
the usual political motives and am
bitions.
Phipps, who was elected to the sem
ate just at the close Of the World
war, saw in that office chance to
serve his country and give of the best
The Glenwood post., 1924-10-30

was again Phipps who assumed the
task of completing the road to Craig
and opening up that storehouse Of ag-
riculture, coal and oil.
He was also a leading spirit in the
building of the Moffat tunnel which
is destined to be one Of the greatest
factors in Colorado g future develop
ment.
In fact, long before his election in
1918, Senator Phipps was devoting
himself to the interests Of the west,
and since then he has been leader
in all legislation which affects Colo
rado and western interests.
An ardent Republican, and strong
party man and protectionist, he is
believer in the protection of the
American standard of living, as mat
ter of principle. He supported the
two emergency tariff acts of 1920 and
1921 and was one of the active men on
the fighting line for the Fordney-
McCumber general tariff act of 1922,
winning life-saving victory for Col
orado's beet sugar industry, which
could not compete with the cheap labor
of the Cuban cane fields, and without
protection could not exist. Thanks to
the Republican p.t te,t've tariff, Colo
RADIO today pr3dl:,s mtrs than one
third of all the tset sugar in the :o';r-
try, which is matter of vital impor-
tance not only to the beet grower and
sugar manufacturers, but to the farm.

The following telegram just received
by Senator Phipps from DR.. Hubert
Work, secretary of the interior, and
warm friend and booster of the west
ern country, speaks for itself and
shows that the Colorado senator-the
only senator Colorado has in the ma
tional body who accomplishes any
thing for his iconbtituents-has not
been idle but has been on the job,
and Furthermore that he has influence
in Washington that has and will be
used for the great benefit of the peo-
pie Of Colorado, who will honor him
and honor themselves by electing him
to succeed himself:

pleasure hunter. He must do some
thing. lf
So this retired business man trav-
eled about in the west, over towering
mountains, wonderful valleys and
glaring deserts, saw foaming rivers,
roaring waterfalls, sensed the richness
of the land and looked at the miles Of
lonely uninhabited wastes, and the
pioneer spirit, that lies hidden deep
in every American stirred within him.
He saw the opportunity and the need
for development, he envisioned what
power plants, reclamation projects Iand
irrigation systems might do for man,
and saw the homes that were not but
might be, beckoning the hardy settlers
into those wonder places. And Phipps
the steel man became Phipps the pio-
neer! But unlike the pioneers who go
to wrest a fortune from the west,
Phipps went carrying his fortune with
him, asking nothing except the pleas
ure that the outdoors gives-and re-
naming to place his fortune and his
abilities at the service Of the west,
which he grew to love and which, for
23 years he has been helping to de-
velop.
Progress, not politics, was his in
centive. He sought neither office nor
fortune, but, only that adventure and
that joy which come from turning
waste places into golden opportunities.
Phipps' initial project was the build
ing Of a power plant with 1875 miles
of transmission lines, running across
the arid deserts of Nevada and into
southern California. 1t was a tre-
mendous undertaking, but, when com
pleted, $4,000 farmers were pumping
water on the sun-baked desert, which
was transformed into one Of the gar
J den spots of the west. And here and
there, on that transmission line, tiny
settlements blossomed into villages,
villages became towns and the great
gold camps of Tonopah and Goldfield,
which had just been opened, sprang
almost over night into flourishing
cities as water, heat, light and power
/ were laid down at their doors. 1t was
fine thing to do and Lawrence T..
Phipps found in the doing a pleasure
heyond any that mere gain could give.
This was only the first Of a series
of development and reclamation pro-
jects that brought Phipps to the fore
in the west.
When the construction work on the
Moffat road-a railway designed to
open up the vast coal fields Of north
western Colorado and to afford an
outlet for the settlers, farmers and
stockmen of that rich but isolated ter
ritory-was stopped by the panic OF
1907, it was Phipps who went for
ward with the plan and the money to
carry on the construction to Steam
boat Springs and, later, when once
more the fate, not only of the Moffat
road, but of all those pioneers who had
forged ahead, settling the land, build
ing, buying, preparing for he coming
of the railway, was in jeopardy, it

SUBSTANTIAL REDUC-
ton IN TAX LEVY

At the mesting of the Garfield
County High school board the ques-
ton of the budget for the coming
year was the important topic. Last
year, owing to the establishment of an
accredited branch high school at New
Castle, it was necessary to increase
the levy over that of the previous
year. However, this year it was found
possible to cut the appropriation
$4,000 under that of last year. This
will mean a cut of 3 mills.
Had it not been for reduction Of
,aluation in the district to the amount
Of 1924, 900 the levy could have been
cut a mills. Only 81 mills of the
levy goes for operation of the two
schools which now enroll PIT high
school students, the balance of the 3.4
mills going for redemption of bonds
and interest.
The bonds are each year redeemed.
Three $1,000 bonds were cancelled last
year. The sinking fund this year will
redeem a like amount. Gradually the
redemption fund will be increased as
the interest fund decreases, so that by
1884 all will be taken up.
Vote "NO" on Amendment No.
The state schools, their presidents,
city school boards, and the state edu-
cat.onal association council have all
gore on record as being opposed to
Amendment No. One.
From both the standpoint of the tax
payer and the educator the proposed
amendment should be defeated. This
amendment would fix half mill levy
upon all the property in the state to
establish this printing plant in Denver.
Only such books as could be furnished
by this plant could be used in our
public school. Plates for the bcst
texts widely used throughout the
country would be unobtainable. Cur
children and schools would be forced
| to take the class of texts that could
be obtained. This amendment does
i not limit the amount Of warrants that
the state printer can draw on the gen.
eral fund Of the state. THIS IS DAN
GEROU5. This amendment DOES
NOT provide for free text books
After all the expense, due to increased
taxation, each district or individual
will be required to buy the necessary
books, just as is the case today.

from merchandising in other places,
and that some of the rules Of the mer-

words, the human element is a large
factor in merchandising, and human
nature is just about the same in Glen

it is in other portions of the world
where Mr.. Irwin has conducted insti-
tutes.
"Meeting Today's Competition"
"Sales People of Today and Tomor-
row. "The Human Side of Retail
ing,o and "Forces That Build Busi-
ness' were some of the subjects han
died by Mr.. Irwin in the Glenwood
course, and he handled them in a way
that forced his hearers to the conclu-
sion that they have been overlooking
something in the past.
Cuisines Control Through Rec
ords" and "Stopping the Leaks" and
kindred subjects relating to store ad-
ministration, were handled in very
able manner by William L. Bracy Of
the University Of Colorado, and as
his lectures were based on survey
of a great many successfully operated
stores all over the country, they were
highly appreciated by our merchants.
The undertaking was an experiment,
SO far as Glenwood is concerned, and
both attendance and interest were good
for the first effort, and these men
have stimulated an interest In modern
merchandising THAT is sure to be most
helpful to our Glenwood dealers, many
of whom speak in the highest praise
Of the course, and wonder why we did
not secure such an institute long ago.
