There is no good reason, we insist,
that there should not be a complete
change in the officiate of the editor
fal association and the membership
ought to be restricted to editors ac-
iyclv engaged in the work, and
should no longer include those, who
profess to be editors and connected
With the profession for purely selfish
purposes. If the editors are proper
" on their metal at the Webster
Springs meeting. they will assert
their Independence and will purge
themselves of members, who are not
identified with the profession enough
TO even attempt to successfully
laould public opinion. There is no
reason why set of active men in
The profession should get together
and honor one or more, who really
have no responsibility resting upon
them as editors. If they are poll
ticians, let the politicians take notice
of them; If real estate dealers, let
The realty men look after them; If
LAWYERS. let the lawyers honor them.

The thirty-ninth annual fair of
the West Virginia Central Agricul-
tural & Mechanical Society closes to-
day. Every year has been a sue
cessful one but none more so than
the present one. Grander, greater
and better every year the--fair be-
comes, and the institution improves
with age. The founders of the so
ciety showed great wisdom and the
present management is no less wise.
The people are satisfied with it rs q
useful means of advancing the var
led interests of the city and county,
and they regard the annual meetings
happy reunions and occasions of
splendid entertainments. So wide
has become the fame of these annual
fairs that it is not strange that other
counties and cities of almost equal
Importance should be thinking SER
iouSlv of founding such institutions
themselves. and this fact is highly
complimentary both to the efficient
manner. in which the fairs here are
conducted, and to the many who
contribute so freely to their sue
cess.

ure of the head camp of the Modern

accept the amendment proposed by the
laws committee to admit TO member
ship men identified with the liquor bus
mess The amendment was recommit-
ted to the committee with instructions
to redraft il, and the fight doubtless
will be continued.
\ resolution was introduced by Al

other eastern cities for the instruction
of the people in fraternal insurance as

argument against the suicide clause
now in the Woodmen policies. He con.
tended that if suicide is permitted to
invalidate a claim the use of liquor to
excess should have the same effect.

that the local camp examiners be APP
pointed by the head physicians of each
state. as being in closer touch with the
various local examiners. They also
claimed the present medical blank is
too complicated.
