FAIRvIEW, March &c.
Editor West Virginian:
The people of this community are
very much worked up over the State
Senate matter. we hardly know who
to vote for here, but we are certain Of
one thing, we won't vote for man
who voted against two cent fare when
in the legislature. 1t has been report
ed here that the railroads are going
to try and have that law repealed. II
certainly would be foolish to send O
man to the State Senate who as mem
Der of the House of Delegates voted
against two cent fare, therefore, un
less all signs fail one T. w. Fleming
OF Fairmont, will wonder what has be
come of all his friends when election
day comes. The common people don't
want man in the Senate who always
votes for the interests Of the rich cor
porations and they have been hunting
up Mr.. Jennings record. 1t was stat
ed in the presence of the writer the
other day that the railroad com
panies were even trying to get some
thing done at the special session Of
the legislature this spring to put q
stop to selling tickets at two cents a
mile, so II they can get such men as
Mr., Fleming in the Senate, the Law
will be repealed. Now is the time
for the farmers to strike tho blow that
will tell. Vote against every man that
stands against two cent fare. This is
serious question with US and we
won't stand for anybody who opposes
laws good for the common people.

editor this morning that Marion coun-

MUCH RICH LAND IN MlNDAnAo.
Big Island Has Millions OF Acres Now
Lying Idle.

Americans have taken the acquisi-
tion Of the Philippines as a matter Of
fact The islands are so far away,
and there is SO much of pressing inter
est right at hand, that the manner Of
arranging our new responsibilities
and discharging our new obligations,
is left absolutely to the government at
Washington, says Army and Navy
Life. How many American people
know. for example, that Mindanao Is
a little virgin empire, with millions OF
acres of the richest land in the world,
now idle and fallow, but capable of
enormous production? An American
officer who has just returned from
there calls 1t "the pearl in the gold
en- setting Of the archipelago, the
promised land for the toilers in the
east"
A while ago there was circulated
through the islands a petition praying
the American people to grant the same
trade privileges TO the Philippines
that have been accorded to Porto
Rico, which island, after getting what
she wanted and what she needed,
jumped her export trade with the Uni
ted States from $S,50O,O0O to $2S,000,
900 and her imports from s9,6O0,OO0
TO s29, 100000 annually Porto Rico
is only a dot on the map in compari-
son with the Philippine archipelago,
and the benefits accruing to American
consumers of her products are slight
in contrast with those which would
come with the extension of our Gus
toms TO include the Philippines.

Charles B. Hanford's Success

1t is gratifying TO note that Charles b
Hanford has achieved the greatest success
Of his career as Petruchio in Shakespeare S
immortal comedy, The Tanning of the
Shrew' which will be presented in this
city at the Auditorium on Tuesday, Nov
II. No other living actor in America has
scored so many triumphs in the legitimate
field as Mr. Hanford. either Individually
or in conjunction with other well known
stars. He may well be said to be the
link connecting the eShakespearean eras of
the past and present in this country for
in the past his name was deemed worthy
to be coupled with such iIlustrious actors
as Edwin Booth Lawrence Barrett and
Thomas W. Keene, while several of the
leading artists of the present day have
shared stellar laurels with Mr.. Hanford.
Inasmuch as THE Tanning of the Shrew
is the most popular of Shakespeare's
comedies, a alareeaudience willundoubtedly
greet him this season. His supporting
company includes Miss Marie Drofnah
who win be seen as Katherine.

Doctors Without pearees.

There are three times three too
many doctors in the country" said a
victim That means nine times too
many But just think OF the doctors
in Germany. Everybody that is not
baron is a doctor. In America we
have many thousands OF doctors with
out degrees. who are made doctors by
the public. and go through life with
out diplomas. Just as soon as a young
man steps behind the counter in a
drug store TO sell patent medicines
and soaps and tooth brushes. etc. at
three dollars a week, he is dubbed
doctor" The pharmacist back Of the
prescription counter is entitled (prob-
ably to this epithet. but all the clerks
are doctors Customers do not know
the names OF these employees. They
compromise on doctor"
