One hours WOrK yesterday ny
the Firemen's soliciting committee
developed the fact that the great
est town on earth" Is still at the
head of the progressive list OF oil
centers, the people the most pros
porous and the business men and
property owners the most liberal:
More than $500 was subscribed to
the fund within short time after
the list was presented and by Mon.
day the required amount of $1,000
will be donated by the citizens. AS
was stated In the Oil Review sew
eral days ago, the Fire Department
of this city, which IS the strongest
and most complete in West Vir-
ginia, will, beginning Sept. IS and
ending Sept. 20, give a grand Car
nival and Firemen's Tournament,
the funds to be used In purchasing
new uniforms and other equip.
ments of the volunteer service.
Some few kickers were In doubt
as to the advisability of the pro-
iect instituted by the. presi-
dent, on account of the scare
ity of funds In the Department
treasury but now all doubt has
been cast aside and arrangements
are being perfected tor one solid
week of fun and amusement, and
the Carnival Is now an assured fact.
1t Is also proposed by the Sisters
vile contingency to take the lead
and at the same time, organize an
association of fremen to be known
as the West Virginia and Ohio
Valley Firemen's Association. |"
Acceptances have been received
from nearly every city and town IN
the State and along the Ohio River.
This Is a move which should have
been instituted years ago and un.
told benefits will be derived from
such an organization, not only to
the fremen themselves but the
public generally will be favored
with more complete service all
over the State and along the VAL
ley. Co operation means for the
good of all, and we pre1ict for the
new Association unbounded sue
cess.
The City Fathers will give the
freedom of the city to the hremen
for one week and the department
has decided to promote Its own Car
nival, thus shutting out and pre-
venting the payment of unneces
sary fees to promoters of such at
fairs. The Committee of Arrange
ments are now booking FIRST class
attractions, among some Of them
being the diving Elks, ferris wheel
Indian village and other good
shows for the entire week. A spe
cial program will be made up tor
each day, and the city will be kept
lively until late at night. Not only
the fremen will be financially ben
Gifted for their exertions, but the
business men will reap rewards as
never before. Everything will be
done to make the occasion the big
gest celebration In the history Of
the little oil city.
The President informs Us thai he
has received letters from more than
twenty-five departments In Yves,
Virginia. Pennsylvania and Ohio
stating that several companies with
drill and racing teams would be In
attendance. Among some of them
being the crack hose company Of

Hereafter all hunting licenses
are to be made of tough manila

now in use. 1t was intended to
have them made Of cloth, but it
was found that this would be too
expensive. The coupons attached
to the licenses will contain brass

LaFOIlettc in his Oconomowoc
address again reafirms his devo-
ton to the primary election.
While few if any Republicans OBJ
ject to the principles involved in
primary elections, they do most
seriously object to LaFollette's
Interpretation of it as evidenced
in the Stevens bill. Before ap-
proving of the establishment of a
system so far reaching and radi-
cal in its operation the voters OF
Wisconsin, should make a care
full investigation of the matter
The question of expense alone is
one to warrant their serious con-
sideration. In Minnesota, where
the law is limited in its scope ap-

Stevens bill was and is a scheme
Of LaFollette's to perpetuate his
power and to enable him. and his
following to secure the defeat OF

Since the endorsement of Sen
ator Spooner by the University
Republican Club and the action
of the Richland county Republi-
cans, both supposed to be strong
.ly La Toilette, the La Toilette
press is beginning to show ito
claws more plainly. The LaFol-
letter press hide it's opposition to
the senator under many pretexes;
but it is plain to be seen that the
La Toilette forces are setting up
the pins to defeat the senator.
To them, more than to the stall
wart forces, the reelection OF
Senator Spooner and La Toilette
is incompatible. On that ground,
laid down by the La Toilette
forces, if for no other reason the
people of Wisconsin should turn
down the governor. The state
and nation needs the services OF
Senator Spooner in the senate.

done. While many republicans
are honest in their belief that it
would be best to reflect both,
they might as we'll disabuse Their
minds at once that any such re-
suit can be accomplished. There
will be more than one way to
accomplish the defeat of Wiscon-

of them will be taken. It is re-
Rretable that such a condition
exists but it is a Judgment which

HON. w. E. BLOWN
To be Re-noninated With
eat Opposition.

The Washington correspondent
to the milwaukee Sentinel has
the following to say in regard
to the record of our Congress
man w. E. Brown.
Representative Webster E.
Brown of the ninth districts the
youngest member in point of
service on the Wisconsin delega-
ton. He is a standing example,
as he would be perfectly willing
to admit, of one who has been
through the handicap of being
a "ncw member" Now that he
is well started on the highway
of service in the house, however,
it would be loss to the district
and to the state If he were not
returned.
It can be easily demonstrated,
also, that it is not alone on &C.
count of the fact that Mr.. Brown
is we'll known through his pro-
stationary period in the house
that he should be returned by
the new district in which the ap-
! portionment places him. He is
of the material from which good
and influential representatives
are made. He is a practical bust
| ness man. That means much
among legislators. Especially
does it mean much when added
to that point in his favor one can
truthfully say that he is a gentle
man of education, excellent adj
dress, Woodworking and pain
stalking, and who will surely &C
quire the influence and standing
in the house that is primarily re-
quisite to useful and efficient
public service.
SO much for the suggestion
that the. new member must serve
a probationary period. Mr.. w
E. Brown is hot lawyer, nor
will he take high rank as a
speaker in the debates ofcongress
He is modest, painstaking,
working member. He brings to
the consideration of public legis-
lation a clear, we'll trained mind
and valuable experience gained
through active business life.
| It may be set down as certain
that when Mr.. Brown enters up
on his next term in the house
he will take a front rank In the
legislation which comes before
the busineess committees OF
which he will always be a mem
Der so long as he remains in the
house. His most important as
signment is that of the commit
tee on Indian affairs. He is also
a member of the mines and min
ing eomittee which has had two
or three bills of important cha =
acter before it during the present
session."
