Fairrnont's Fair Future.

= .
That Fairmont will share in this
general prosperity goes without
saying. Being located as she Is in
one of the very best sections OF the
State that is now conceded to be
the first in the Union in Industrial
development, she stands preeminent
among them all.
Z What Others Think Of Us.

If the motorman jounces you into a seat

If you're Mayor.
If they carry you past where you want to
get off
Back on board you can get
And express your regret

Though at first I was sad
I'm not Mayor
For a man must be wiser than any sooth-
saver

Pocahontas.

One experiences mingled feelings upon
reading the announcement of the purpose
of the jamestown Exposition Company to
bring the ashes of Pocahontas across the
water and bury them on jamestown Island.
They are buried at Gravesend in England,
and no objection, it is said, will be made
to their removal.
Home again? Yes, and, for that matter.
the little woman was preparing to return
when she sickened and died She had not
been happy in England-could not have
been. The hurrah in her life had died out
The presentation at court had become not
much more than what we call circus
memory. Christian, wife of white man.
and mother of his child. she was yet an In
dian. 1t is easy to believe that she had
come to long for the old scenes and some
of the old faces. Still, had she lived to re-
turn, she might not have been happier here
than there. She was paying the penalty of
her unusual career. She had parted from
her own race. and had not been able to pass
all the barriers of her adopted race. In
large measure she was raceless and alone.
Happiness is for no such person.
Somehow the question comes up, should
such act be made a feature of a huge
show? VIII 1t be altogether fair to the
memory of this heroine to convert her ashes
into an attraction? 1t will be the largest
paying day of the exposition when the ashes
are reinterred. The story of Capt. John
Smith, of Powhatan and his pretty daughter,
of Rolfe, of the journey to England and the
life there, will be told again, with many
modern embellishments, and public interest
will be keyed up to the highest pitch Tens
of thousands will crowd to witness cere-
monies recalling so much stirring truth and
so many pretty fictions.
For fctions have grown up about Poca-
hontas and her deeds inevitably. She has
her myth. as all such people have. A story
SO exciting and romantic could not escape
the colors of the artists and the poets. It
must pay the penalty of it's nature, and
lose some of its simplicity in their hands.
And maybe when the time arrives for us to
pay tribute at jamestown something new
will be added to the tale, making it more
beautiful than ever.

The Automobile

The automobile is improving From a
small beginning 1t has grown UNTIL look
where you will, one is whirring sharply
around a corner or rushing down the wrong
side of the street. Its influence has spread
everywhere. So has its scent 1t can he
smelled in every highway and bywav.
There is no street unmarked by nil fro,,
its gear; there Is no city that is not spotted
by the Lrippings of its tank. Its rise. to
say nothing of its falls, has been nbe.
nomenal. Whereas, few years ago II
only recorded disaster per day. 1t now
does this smash-up work faster than news
papers can report 1t. Some subscribers
feel that the gasoline stove Is too tardv
in the production of casualties and there
fore place their confidence in the auto. This
confidence has not been abused. The man
who is fond of wrecks can rely on the
auto. It never disappoints.
There is much more that may be said in
praise of the auto. 1t develops that phase
of character called "self-confidence. or
course. there are many men in Washington
who are by no means deficient in self-confi-
stand out like the muscles of Samson. But.
though the auto is not always conducive to
self-control, 1t Is a great stimulant to self
confidence. 1t can train man to take the

The kindly impulse to return smile for

more a matter of course.
Some years ago a wholesome epidemic
swept this country. 1t was called the
don't worry" movement. Clubs were
formed and lessons were given by adopts
in the art of complaeent optimism. 1t can
not be doubted that many lives were made
happier by this means. many hearts light
ened of their heavy imaginary burdens.
The time is now ripe for another such out
break of mutual helpfulness. The don't

IT appears that Rojestvensky is to meet
Togo because ii doesn't make any particu-
lar difference how the ensuing battle turns
out. That's a fair example of Russian phi
losophy.
From the st. Louis Republic.
When Rojestvensky butts into Vladivos-
tok there will be a mighty explosion of

testyensky he had decided to sail for Vlad-

Eight Knots an Hour Toward Disaster

Later reports from Singapore fully verify
the suspicion that Admiral Rojestvensky's
feet is by no means in good trim to meet
the japanese. One dispatch says that the
fleet steamed through the straits at the
rate of about eight knots an hour, two
krots less than The Star yesterday sug-
gested as the probable maximum of the
Russians. 1t is also stated that the hulIs
of the ships are very foul with long grass
TO be in no condition for fast battle man
euvering
The enumeration of the feet is in no
wise suggestive Of a preponderance of
Russian strength. OF the forty-one vessels
that passed Singapore only twenty are
fighters, six battleshps, seven cruisers and
seven torpedo boats, a force which Is nu-
merically unequal to Togo's and in eff
cheney far below the japanese. The other
twenty-one vessels consist of three trans
ports, sixteen GOLFERS one salvage ship and
one hospital ship. These members of the
fleet will be dangerous membranes in a
sea fight.
