The ladies' Of the Grand Army OF
the Republic have done nobly in
raising funds for the soldiers mon
ument and now that their. hopes in
this great lesson of patriotism, as
well as the act OF contributing to
the public beauty of the city, are
about realized, it would be a serious
matter to allow the unwilling cere-
monies to go by default. Yet, this
is what will take place unless the
citizens come to their aid at once
With the monument paid for, there
ought to be no hesitancy on the
part of our citizens to raise suffice
ent funds to unveil it with fitting
ceremonies. Those who have not
contributed as yet should do so at
once and doubtless q number OF
those who have contributed will
add a little to the amounts they
have given and thus assure. the
GROWING event of the work of the
ladies.

West Virginia.

West VirgInians are immensely
proud OF the enviable position at
tanned by this state during the past
ten or fifteen years. says the Mo-
nongahela Valley Trade Journal,
the advance having been pretty
evenly balanced along all lines. No
longer are hts markets ignored nor
its fnanciers overlooked, for its pres
tige makes it force to be reckoned
with. West virginia's industries
rank 18th those the world considers
of first importance, and the men at
the head of these industries have
justly earned for themselves the adj
: miratiOH anad respect of their COM
petitors and business associates.
They have shown ability not alone
in commercial circles, but in every
walk Of Flfs that tends to make this
particular part of Gods country
desirable place in which to live,
move and have our being.
Substitutes don't go with the
average West Yirginian. The best

him, ana his advanced ideas are
demonstrated in the buildings he,
erects, in the class of goods he sells;
in the education he gives his child
rem. and In the social life he de-
mands as his right. In no place
does originality goin reader recog-
milton nor are innovations weighed
more iudIsiously. There is room
here for every man who cherishes an
ambition, but drones are not attract

State pride? Every man Is full

been achieved while at yet the
States resources have only been

fore that the scouts and pioneers
are iubilant, and the entire country
interested.
It is neither desirable nor neces-
sary that the enormous profits to he
derived should fall into the hands of
few capitalists: rather would We
invite competition and a rivalry OF

are diverse in kind. Because of this
conviction we believe in repeatedly
