The Fairmont West yirginian wants
q State editorial association but does
not want to mingle with Democratic
editors. 1t would make the society
exclusively Republican, and would
also exclude the -~insurgent" editors.
II the West virginian would get in
the State editors band wagon and
brush elbows with Democrats and in.
surgents, 1t might occasionally get on
the right side of some public ques-
tion.-Wheeling Register.
WhaP does the Register hope to ac.
complish by misrepresenting and pre-.
~varicating? 1t cannot injure the West
Virginian by so doing Ono mossback
Democratic paper can harm it,, but
the Wheeling organ can place itself in
a bad light. The West virginian did
not say it would exclude the "insur.
gent editors. 1t said precisely what
follows: I'm organizing a Republi.
can association we would feel like
drawing the line on the insurgents but
as there are so few OF them we would
not insist upon keeping them out. The
proper thing, we, suppose, would be
to take them in ind endeavor to make
them better men," That is what we
said. nothing more, nothing less. Anc
1t Is because we think that there Is
no hope for the Democratic editors
no prospect of making better men of
them--that we suggested an organi.
cation Of Republican editors and in.
timated that the Democrats might
profit by forming an association OF
their own. We believe 1t would be
a decided advantage to the publish.
ing fraternity II 1t should be organ
lied into two bodies as we have our.
lined. But we would like to know
what the Register mean when 1t
talks of 'the right side Of some pub.
lie question:" 1t must think that we
are on the wrong side in advocating
the cause of Tax Reform, and so think.
Ing 1t has evidently not heard from
Mcdowell county, where next year.
Under the new assessment, taxes will
be only % cents on the 500 valuation.
whereas they have been, as in Ma.
rion county, from $3.50 to $500 on the
800 valuation.

CHINESE WITH SOLEMN RITES
MAKE OFFERINGS TO THE DEAL
Festival of All Dow Celebrated and Spirits of De-
parted Are Assisted to Ascend From

allowed to worship. The women are
not included Their souls are sup
posed to be of little or no consequence
and the soft eyed little women stood
quietly in the SPACE outside of the
railing yesterday while their lips mur-
INJURED prayers and their hands clutched
longingly at the altar cloths. Inside
their husbands and masters were down
on their knees breathing out incanta-
tions with every gasp.
No White Man Enters
mo white man shall enter this sacred
spot" was the decree sent out by the
high priest as soon as he arrived in
the city and white people were COM
PEELED to stand back and look on from
the outer corridor while the Nom Wau
kneeled on the altar cloth and shrieked
his incantations and The musicians
worked the people up to a frenzy with
their plaintive, heart rending trills.
But it was left to little Los Angeles
miss to set aside the most ancient GUS
toms of the Chinese and the order of
their high priest
The young woman was visiting the
temple in company with a number of
friends and unable to see in the crowd
in the outer corridor of the temple she
walked around to the side door only
to find her passage way blocked by a
stern celestial.
The passage was the entrance to the
sacred circle of worship and the Chi
nese looked down at the flushing little
face of the sightseer and shook his
head kindly. mo ladee come in. Must
go way" he said.
The girl arranged her red polo hat in
place on a mass of tumbled golden
curls and prepared to depart She had
hardly taken step when the soft voice
of a priest arrested her attention. He
was a Los Angeles priest and he had
chivalry down to the bottom of his
heart. Without ever a break in his
keeper alone could hear him: Let the
little girl in," and the girl came in
while the other priests and worshipers
looked on and gasped in amazement.
But there was no stroke of lightning
or shock of electricity and the dark
soft blue of the girls sailor suit blended
with the embroidery of the altar cloth
and the worshipers took heart and be-
gan their prayers anew.
Several other women were then ad-
mitted and as the gods failed to arise
in their wrath the gatekeeper allowed
all the good-looking women in sight tC
enter the holy circle.
When the services We're over at the
temple the priests ran from house tc
house beating on drums and driving
out the devils. Then there was music
at the band stand on Apablaza street
and the leader of the orchestra raised
his voice in the melody of the lost
chord.
And the chord was certainly lost anG
the voice of the celectial sounded like
unto the noise made by a fiat whee
rubbed with rosin, but it was something
new to the tourists and they stayed
and made peculiar faces in trying tc
look like they enjoyed it all.
Speech making will occupy a portion
of the ceremonies today and the festi-
val will close tomorrow night.

&s Drew, the contractors for the great
Bear valley above this city, will this
month resume operations on the dam
and during the greater portion of the
summer will employ not less than 500
men on the great enterprise. Five cars
of machinery are being hauled to the
mountain summit now, and for several
weeks teams have been hauling cement
up from this city. This firms con-
tract extends over three years and
amounts to more than $75O,OOO, in addi-
ton to the preliminary contract they
completed last year. When completed
this gigantic enterprise will mean the
expenditure of fully $2,000,0OO and will
provide water for thousands of acres
of rich land north of this city,
The stories that are sent out regard
