REGULAR
Council Says the Proceedings
in Suspension Gases
Must Be.

AT the conclusion OF the business
OF the special session Friday night of
the city council, the mayor announce
ed that he had suspended Police
men Farmer and Howard. and asked
the council to fix date for trial.
AS there had been no regularity IN
the matter. and. as it was the first
time the council had been officially
informed' of the action taken by the
mayor, inquiry was made as to
whether the charges had been pre-
ferred. The mayor stated they had
been and redlAeedto writing meaR-
ing the afidavit of Minnie Macpon-
aid. notorious character copy, OF
which had merely been handed TO the
suspended" officers, when hv, told
Policeman Farmer Wednesday night
to take OF his badge, surrender his
mace and other paraphernalia, and,
a copy of which affidavit was handed
Policeman Howard nearly a month
after he had been suspended. y This
appears to have been the only re
ducing to writing of the charges.
The mayor then read. the city law,
which says 1.-The council may in its
discretion suspend such officer" but
as the mayor had taken that duty OF
upon u11uSGIIs lueT rCOuANAl
made no order of suspension. ut
merely fixed day for trial.
Councilman Anderson moved that
the trial be set for the next regular
meeting of the council. but Council
man Johnson moved to amend by
making the time Wednesday, October
g. His attention was called to the
fact that that was sooner than the
law allowed and he changed it to Fri
day night. IT'S was voted down as
some of the members stated that
they had other engagements. Then
he moved to make It Thursday night.
but this was objected to because 9TH
er members had engagements that
night Councilman Johnson's motion
carried with 1t that the proceedings
be regular as the law requires and
this was adopted in the final motion
that tho trial be set for the next reg
uIar meeting night of the council,
Friday, November 6.
AS yet the officers have not been
legally suspended and will be entitled
to pay fer the time they are or the
force. This will hold good. should
they be found guilty. though there is
every reason to believe that they are

Colonel Grant Makes Earnest
Plea for Undivided Sup
port for Candidate

E. NJ. Grant, of Morgantown,
chairman OF the Lincoln Republican
state committee and who was one OF
Arnold C. Scherr's strongest support

ton, Mr.. Grant answered as follows:
Grants Statement.
I'VE are all Republicans. We do
not want to turn the state over TO
the Democrats. j believe that those
who nominated Mr.. Glasscock
thought they were naming n willing
tool but am of the opinion that in
compelling the withdrawal OF the
original candidate and the substitu-
ton of Mr.. Glasscock, the Lincoln
party won even a greater victory than
they had hoped for.
Here is what Mr.. Glasscock says
in every speech and private interview
that he has made: In case l am
elected governor of this great state

science and will exert every effort to
see that every person in West Nlr-
ginia receives a square deal at the
hands of the state government. AS

is brought to bear, will endeavor to

hate, lying, stealing, RIGHTEOUSNESS and all
other crimes would be no more; but until
the time comes that individuals will know
to a certainty what faculty of the mind they
are using we will have designing men ana
women ruling the people under the name
of Church. Religion, Freethought, Spiritual
ism, Christian Science Materialism, or
some other beliefs just as foolish.
1t is a truth that all believers are disbe-
levers, and all disbelievers are believers,
they all combat.
Before closing this article, wish to refer
to what A. A. Snow wrote in answer to my
article that was published. He says:
Does matter act in some cases through
the power of the gods and in all other cases
because of the properties within it, because
of its own nature? Or in other words, is
matter in some cases only the football of
the gods; acting only as it is acted upon,
while in others it is self-acting? Surely If
selfacting at all, 1t is always so, and it
surely u.s. and we nave absolutely no evi-
dence of its acting any other way
In answer to what he has written, I will
say: Matter never acts; it is moved from
one location to another, and oft times it
appears to us that matter acts, because the
forces that move matter are not seen and
matter is seen. To us 1t appears to move.
1t is upon the same principle that the bal
loon, we say, ascends the heat carries it
up and not the principle in matter, for mat
ter never moves of ITSELF
Again, he says; "Protoplasm that builds
up any very complicated structure is gov
erned by these experiences"
He forgets that the protoplasm itself was
built out of material. Yes, Mr.. Snow, the
protoplasm of the cell is MATERIAL the
smallest speck, be it so small that the
strongest magnifying glass cannot show it if
a speck at all, it is material. The builder
uses the material; it also uses such prin
ciples and elements as is necessary to
build body. but am sorry that the ingre
dents 1t has to build from is not always
what we call the very best. At some fu
ture time l may tell you about the builder
