magnificent temple which the Goddess
adorns, and we might also know how
the $16S,Oe0 extra was divided. The
dear old girl might have told how she
had heard the muffled tread of the
band of foreign repeaters going from
precinct to precinct to vote for the
man who was speaker of the last Dem.
ocratic Legislature of West Virginia.
She might have told how she heard
the rustic of the ballots as they were
changed to count In a Democratic

these are not all. The terms Of the
agreement entered into by and between
the Democratic County Court and the

out just why the Democratic County

said was not reported so that the peo-
pie might have been informed on these

THE VISITING KNIGHTS.

Fairmont is already famous for the
kind of welcome it always extends to
worthy visitors. 1t is fast becoming
known as a convention city and now
ranks as one of the five cities in the
State which can take care of a large
gathering of people such as the X. of
p. Grand Lodge. We take pride in
this and hope to increase our reputa-
ton by extending the glad hand to
the visiting Knights and ladies who
are to be our guests this week These
people are among the very best clti-
zens from their respective cities and
places of residence and they are able
to appreciate every courtesy we may
extend to them. In view Of these
things we hope they may be so gladly
received by our people that they may
go away saying the half has never
been told of the hospitality and kind
heartedness of Fairmont people.

he attempted to squirm out by a dodge
as to how the assessment was made.
AS a matter of fact, it doesn't make
a whit's difference who makes the as.
sessment so long as the increase runs
from $2SG,69O in 1904 to $l,1OO,335 in
1905 and three millions in 1906. With.
out further argument, We submit the
question that whoever writes eItor-

falsifler who seems to have as his
motto,

SOUNDS LIKE TAFT.

A rumbling noise is arising from
various parts Of the country that in.
dicates the forming of public sentl.
ment favorable to William H. Taft as
the choice OF the people for Presi.
dent in 1908. While It Is difficult to
make choice among so many cool
men, and 1t can't be done on the spur
Of the moment, the people gradually
get around to one way of thinking
little by little and If Secretary of War
Taft makes good" in the eyes of his
fellow countrymen in the next few
months and sustains the high regard
in which he is now held, nothing can
keep him from being nominated as
President Roosevclt's successor. Mr..
Taft is a man OF rare tact and ability,
with strong personal qualities. He has
the happy faculty Of doing things in
sensible and business like way and
in manner which the people approve.
OF course, It is hard to tell what two
years may bring forth, but as 1t is
today. VIM. II. Taft stands second
only to Theodore Roosevelt in the es.
tlmatlon of the American people as
to possessing the qualifications of
President of the United States. And
such a feeling among the people can.
not be ignored by a nominating con.
vention, nor in our opinion. will it
be, when the time comes to name the
next candidate for President on the
Republican ticket.
