Firmly believing that the present
system of representative government is
inadequate, and that it enables the few
to control the policy of the government
to the detriment of the interests of the
people at large, and further believing
that no permanent relief will be pos
sible until the people can speak more
directly on laws which they are re-
quired to obey, we demand that the
people shall be given direct vote on
all important legislation, and that all
officers shall be made the servants of
the people, subject at any time to recall
or dismissal, and not, as at present, the
masters of those who create them
"We demand the enactment into
law of the following propositions. The
of all executive, legislative and judicial
officers; lessered freight, passenger,
telephone and telegraphic rates within
the state; the adoption of the Torrens
system of registering land titles; a
general system of non-inte terest bearing
warrants, receivable for taxes through
out the state; that school books be fur
nished to the peoples pupils in our
public schools at the expense of the
state, that in case of sale of property
under foreclosure DEGREES the debtor
shall retain possession of the property
throughout the rdemption period, and
the prohibition of deficiency judgments,
and that the period of redmeption
shall be two years instead of one; lib.
eral exemption from taxation Of per.
sonal property and Improvements in
or upon land; that the next legislature
shall take the necessary legal steps to
submit to the electors of this state to be
voted upon at the next regular election
an amendment to the state constitution
comforting the elective franchise upon
women citizens of this state; that the
legislature pass law in conformity
with our state constitution making it
a felony for any county, city or state
officer to accept or use railroad or
other transportation pass, and that the
law shall also be applicable to those
who offer such passes, and we condemn
all city, county and state officers who
may have accepted and used such
passes az betraying the trust reposed
in them by the party and as vielative
of their duties as citizens.

The People,s Phone.

Among the many conveniences we
now enjoy is the telephone and having
two good local exchanges our people
are peculiarly fortunate. But short
time ago there were no phones in town
and to-day there are couple of hun
dred who would not do without this
convenience for great deal. The
Peoples Company who. has been.quietly
at work now has line of wires COW
ering this end Of the state in very
complete manner. Nearly every point
in this county is on its exchange list
and before very long every point in it
will be in direct communication with
every other one. Nor are the neigh
boring counties neglected. In Pres
ton about twenty-points are to be
reached by their lines, among the
most prominent being Kingwood, Ter
ra Alta, Rowlesburg, Newburg, Inde-
pendence and Masontown. Besides
these points among Others reached in
this end Of the State are Fairmont,
Grafton, Parsons and st. George. In
Maryland, Oakland is now connected
and in Pennsylvania, Waynesburg can
be reached. Work is now being push
ed on new lines and before the new
year many more towns will be in
speaking distance of Morgantown. All
these subscribers can be reached with
ont cost to any subscriber and this
is very great advantage. The CON-
pany is composed of home people, each
subscriber owning shares Of stock SO
for that reason 1T is to be encouraged
in every way possible. Weare blessed
beyond the average in having such a
small cost as this one Is to its sub
scrlbeTs. May they live long and pros

A Snap Shot at Morgantown.

What contrast between to-day and
a few years agol The old tumble-down
buildings which lined the streets of
town have given place to modern and
beautiful dwellings. Storehouses on
the business streets are equal to
those in cities which put on airs and
claim to be up-to-date.
sWith the march of improvement
we have not lost sight Of the good old
time genial home life, with all the
sweet and tender associations of neigh
borhood friendships. We know each
other, both at home and on the street.
We have not learned that city fool
idea of not knowing who lives next
door. We borrow sugar and coffee, run
into each others homes without wait
ing to dress for company; we ignore
the formality of taking lunch, but
drop in and take 'pot-luck, in the good
old-fashioned style; we love our neigh
Dor as ourself and also love his good
eating. We have the sweetest, pref
tiest, rosy-cheeked, bright-eyed girls
in the world. They are lovely in their
beauty and queenly in their dignity
the kind Of girls, who make beautiful
homes and tighten and brighten the
lives of fathers and mothers who
idolize them"

Adds 600 to Her Population BY Her
Vote Saturday.

Last Saturday proposition to an
mex the additions known as the
Hamilton and Arnett additions to
the town of Fairmont was voted on
and passed by very substantial
majority. The two additions contain
a population of about 600 and the
consolidation means help to the
town in its march to industrial pros
perity. We congratulate our neigh
Dor heartily on the good Judgment
shown in giving the proposition a
good round majority. The added
prestige of the acquired population
will do much for the town. Morgan
town would be much better able to
advance its claims to recognition if
it had the 1000 or 1900 population
in the borough that is now outside.
AS it is we are now regarded as a
town about two thirds the size the
town really is. Let's wake up and

A Very Gratifying success in Every
Respect.


Friday night witnessed the culmina-
ton of the efforts of a society of TWEEN.
ty-five of the prettiest young ladies of
the town. Sometime ago they organ
lied to give the foot ball boys benefit
and it took the shape of grand ball
which is to take the place of the mill
tary ball which has been the chief So
ciety event of theyear heretofore. The
young ladies took hold of things with
will and it is due entirely to their
efforts that the affair Was the success
1T was. Nor were the married ladies
remiss; they furnished the refresh
ments which were most thoroughly
enjoyed, thus making the benefit be
really benefit. The gymnasium was
used for the dance as the labor needed
in putting the biological hall in con-
dition is excessive. Five large arc
lights were placed in the gym and it
was lighted as it had never been be.
fore. The floor was in fine condition
and the music which was furnished by
the Connellsville Orchestra made the
dancing simply delightful. About 200
people attended and all were highly
pleased with the function. The en-
tire proceeds went to the foot ball
management and as they amounted
to about 800 they aided very materi-
ally. Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Gregory, Mrs.
Chrisman and Mrs. Dr. Myers received
the guests. At the conclusion of the
banquet DR.. Myers presented in hap
py speech to DR., Doris a finely en-
graved gold medal as token of the
esteem in which he is held by the
students. The Doctor who has done
SO much to extricate the foot ball as
ISOLATION from its embarrassments re-
sponded in very neat speech of ac-
ceptance. The dancing was then re-
sumed and kept up until very late
hour. The decorations were composed
OF college colors exclusively and some
very pretty effects secured. Too much
credit cannot given to the fair promo
tiers for the highly successful manner
in which they managed the affair and
the thanks of the team and of the
students generally are heartily theirs.
Many out of town people attended and
all were outspoken in their praise of
the hospitality of our people. The
costumes of the ladies were simply be-
witching as is always the case when
anything of the kind is given here. 1t
Is to be hoped that many another foot
ball benefit may be given.

Glass House for Manningtou.

A proposition has been made to the
town of Warrington by another glass
plant In Fostorio, o., which looks to-
ward the removal of the plant from
that place to Warrington. The town
Is required to give bonus of $50, 900
to defray the expenses of the removal
and it Is expected that the proposition
will be eagerly accepted. We eongrat-
ulate our neighbor upon her acquisi-
ton and hope that many more rich
pieces of good luck may befall her.
1t means more money and more bust
ness to this hustlingstown and a steady
era of prosperity more substantial If
not so feyerlsh as the oil boom.
