SOME HOME ATTRACTIONS.

A great many Fairmont people spend
a considerable portion of the summer
away from home, but far larger num-
Der remain in the city the year around.
Because OF that fact, It is pleasant to
think over some Of the reasons why
Fairmont is an attractive place in the
summer time. To begin with, the
heat is rarely excessive. The nights
are nearly always cool, and the days
are rarely uncomfortable. Then we
have street cars on which to take
rides Of evenings and enjoy the even
ing breezes. The interurban line af-
fords an opportunity to go out Of town
several miles quickly and at small
cost. Picnic parties are easily cared
for and pleasure seekers can impro-
wise a programme of amusement on
short notice. In town we have the
motion picture shows of high class
and the vaudeville acts at the Grand
make the Opera House a pleasant
place to spend an hour any evening,
Another thing which Falrmont people
have not yet learned to appreciate full,
ly is our beautiful river. What an en-
chanting place for summer evenings!
Some Of these times we expect to see
hundreds of people in boats and
launches on the placid water of the
Monongahela each evening through
the summer months. Attractions are
cumulative and once our people get the
notion of staying at home and spend
ing the money here other things worth
while will be presented. A public
park with various features of enter
tainment may be ours before many
years and thousands Of dollars now
spent away from home will be left cir
culating in our midst and all will
enjoy what only few now get
chance to indulge in.

has stated his position in these mat
tiers long since. And. indeed, 1t would
prove refreshing to have as a candi.
date a man who does not believe that
his money can rule Republican poll
tics in the State. West Virginia has
had a surfeit of that manner OF CAM
paigning; candidates for Office next
year should go into an iron.bound
agreement to not be grated" by
anyone. There are men in Grafton
who use every opportunity to draw
money from candidates, and If the
truth were known these men control
absolutely no one except themselves
and cast nobody's vote but their own,
If Mr.. scherr, Mr.. swisher and others
will take the advice of their friends
they will keep their money to them
selves in the coming campaign and
knock "grafters" summarily on the
head.

West Virginia Representatives.
1t is understood here that of the
fyc Representatives in Congress from
West Virginia, only Representative
woodward will have a fight on his
hands for denomination. Representa-
tiyes Gaines, Hughes, Sturgiss and
Hubbard are expected to be renominat-
ed without opposition next year. Those
who have watched the career of Rep
resentative woodward in Congress
would regard it as particularly unfor'
tunate If he were succeeded by some
other man. 1t is always the district
that elects a man and keeps him in
Congress year in and year out that
has the greatest influence in the
House. Take Speaker Cannon, Cen
eral Bingham, Floor Leader Payne,
John Dalzell, Pete Hepburn, Chair
man Sherman, of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, ]. A, Hull, and
James A. Tawney; they are among the
fathers of the House. The important
business of Congress is done in COM
mIttees. All the chairmen Of the i'm
portant committees are men who have
been kept in Congress for years, Chair
man Payne, of Ways and Means, has
been here since 1889, Chairman Taw.
ney, Of Appropriations, has been here
since 1893. Chairman Cousins, Of For.
elgn Affairs, came here in 1898; Coop
er, Of Insular Affairs, in 1893; Hep
burn, of Interstate Commerce, in 1887;
Jenkins, Of judiciary, in 1895; Burton,
Of Rivers, and Harbors. in 1895, and
Bartholdt, of Public Buildings and
Grounds, in 1898. Not a single import
ant committee craftsmanship is held
by a Representative who mas been
here less than ten years. Representa-.
tive woodward has been making rapid
progress in the making Of friends, and
is fast getting into a position where
he can be a real force In the House.

A B. and N. engineer surprised the
county court of Monongalia yesterday
by appearing unexpectedly and ask
ing that certain changes be made in
the proposed new bridge across the
Monongahela in order that railroad
line might be CONSTRUCTED along the
river. But that action doesn't excite
the West vlrginian the least bit. En-
gineers and rlghts-of-way agents don't
build arllroads, they merely work for
the men who do and there is very
little use in growing noisy over what
they do or don't DO.

The Morgantown Post refers to the
candidacy of swisher as 'impossi-
BILE" That's what a good many fell
lows who would like to run think
about it, that it viii be impossible to
beat him. The Post has already vast
ed much energy on an impossible"
candidate because he wouldn't consent
to run and If it isn't careful it will
join in just as fruitless chase in an,
other direction. The matter Of see
ing the drift of things is an art some

wagon is an enchanting vehicle and
happy is the man that gets a good

1laE poRsEMEN q TAFT.

III it-tA hS.stthNSss--
The Republicans Of West Virginia
are Greatly pleased over the action
of the Ohio Republican State Commit
tee las evening In endorsing the can
aidacy 81 Hon. w. h. Taft for Presi'
dent 1t lie United States. Taft is a
we virginia tayorite. The Repub-
leans Of this state have very little
sympathy for Senator Foraker and
about the only thing in connection with
the committees action which they do
mol approve Is that they refused to
sanction the elimination Of Foraker
and pick from public life. OF course,
lie committeeFin view Of the circum'
stances could not be expected to de-
cIasa openly for their elimination, bU
we mistake the brand Of Buckeye Re-
pubftcans if that is not the outcome
before many years longer. The very
taet iat d State committee felt call
81 npon to say that the members are
opopsed toS the elimination Of the two
Hnited States Senators shows chat
such movement has certainly gain!
ed considerable headway.
The resolutions as passed by the
STATE COMMITTEES by a vote of Is to 6
are AS follows:
Be Il resolved by the Republican
stase central committee Of Ohio that
Ne beEieSe the great majority of the
people Of Ohio, convinced of the high
ciaFaeter; great ability and distin-
guishedsseryices Of Secretary Taft, en-.
dorse his candidacy for the Presiden-
we declare that the Republicans OF
ono overwhelmingly desire that the
1ane 81 the Honorable William How
ard Taft be presented to the Nation as
Ohiols candidate for President and the
Republicans Of other States be invited
Is cooperate with the Republicans Of
CHIC to secure his nomination in 1908.
Ana he Ii further resolved that,
we emphatieally declare that the
Republicans Of Ohio are opposed to
tiie elimination from public life of
Senators j, B. Foraker and chas. Dick,
whose services to the party and State
hive been distinguished by ability,
wisdom and patriotism"
Whenlit is remembered that strong
and determined effort was made by
senator Foraker and his followers to
prevent an endorsement for Mr.. Taft
Tue victory is all the more decisive.
rhe action at once makes Mr.. Taft a
Formidable candidate and we believe
sswiil shortly place him so far in the
lead that no other name will be pre-
sented to5the next National Repubii'
can convention.

Making a total of. ;s12,5sos4gsI
Mr.. Townsend said that this was
only a rough estimate, He thought
however, a careful examination would
swell the total over $5,OOO.oOO addt
tional.
The increase in FIVE years has been
more than sSOOoO,OOO, and will in.
crease as much more during the next
tive years.
The output in the coal regions alone
is over 100000 more than two and
a half years ago.
1t was no wonder that visitors from
the great manufacturing States Of
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
Rhode Island and massachusetts, view
in amazement West virginta's exhib'
its at the jamestown exposition.
1t is not to be wondered also, that
the financial kings of America are
turning their eyes toward this section
Of the country for profitable invest
ments.
"A State that is in its young man
hood, comparatively speaking, that
can boast of nearly billion of dol,
lars taxable properly is something
of which every West virgintan can be
justly proud.
These figures are not mythical. They
are not mere guesswork, but have
been compiled by such an able stats.
tician as Thomas G. Townsend, aud
are virtually official.
The Manufacturers Record of re.
cent date shows the shipment from
ole region, the Pocahontas coal field
In 1888. the shipments amounted tc
only GO,12 tons. Twenty-three years
later they were 100000 Of tons, re.
lnsrkable showing.
What is true of the Pocahontas
Coz. district is also true of other dis.
tncts. Hon. George Bylne. of this
city. now writing from this section TO
The Manufacturers Record. is the au'
thorty for this statement, and as that
gentleman is on tile ground. it is nat
ural to presume that his figures are
acurate.
The immense oil output has also in.
creased the taxable property and Mr..
Townsend thinks the assessment for
1865 will surprise evn the most optl-
mstic.
