If, during the campaign, the
Mountaineer points out the UNI
fitness of certain candidates to
fill the positions to which they
aspire, let no one think for a
minute that the editor is moved
by personal motives. Fitness
for the office, not the politics of
a man, is what merits the sup
port of this paper, or any in
dependent newspaper for that
matter. Party papers are good
boosters during a campaign, but
their work is one-sided. If a
mistake has been made in a con-
vention, the average party
organ never mentions it as it
thinks it is in duty bound to
support the whole ticket. The
independent newspaper, like the
independent voter, is free to
support the best men, and
politics, especially in local affairs,
lis a secondary consideration.
The democratic and republican
candidates for state and county
Offices are now before the people,
There are good men on bott
tickets-and some not so good,
No party can always get its best
men on the ticket. In conven.

An independent political party
has been launched in this state
and held it's first convention this
week at Troy. An exchange re-
marks that the party will be
composed of the disgruntled
members from the old parties.
If so, it is liable to have large
membership soon unless the two
old parties change their tactics.
The voters are getting more dis
satisfied each year and are apt to
some day launch new party
that will lay both of the old ones
by the heels.

suggested that Mr.. Herolz meet him

no faircr way in which matters could
be discussed to the entire satisfac-

question each and get line on what
they may expect from the man they
choose to fill the office, the debatcrs

A Famous Architect. Trick.

When Sir christopher Wren was
building the town hall Of Windsor a
fidgety member of the corporation, SO
the story goes, insisted that the roof
required further support and desired
the architect TO add more pillars. In
vain did Sir christopher assure him
that the danger was imaginary. lie
knew better. The alarm spread, and
the great architect was worried into
adding the desired columns.
Years passed, and in later times,
when architect and patrons were dead,
cleaning operations In the roof re.
vealed the fact that the supposed addi-
tional supports did not touch the roof
by two inches, though this was not per-
ceptiblc to tile gaZcrs below.
by this ingenious expedient did Wren
pacify his critics, while vindicating his
own architectural skill to future gcncr
