There are five wards In the city Of
Fairmont, the Third ward being sur.
rounded by the other four. 1t stands
to reason. and the location of the lead.
ing business places in the city proves
it. that the nearer the center of, the
Third ward a builling is. the better
its location is considered. No one
q estions that the site Of the court
house Is the best location in every
way in the city. The Bank of Fair
mont, the First National Bank, the
Peoples Bank and the leading stores
all know what is the best part of the
city for business purposes and select.
ed their places accordingly. In view
Of these facts, It follows that In select.

leading business concerns location

Tha Hall lot filled the requirments the
best Of any offered for the site OF The
federal building. 1t Is nearer than the
Arnett-Manley site to all the banks in
town, except two; nearer to all the
leading stores, except one: nearer the
court house and city Offices; nearer all
the hotels, except one, and is regarded
by ninety per cent Of the people as a
better site than any Of the others pro.

A NEW GRIEVANCE.
country.

It is a new thing for women to take
an interest in the tariff That subject
has heretofore been about as enter
tanning for them as photograph
would be to a deaf person or a moy-
ing picture show TO a blind man.
But the Payne tariff bill now be-
fore congress is honored with an ex-
traordinary amount of attention from
many of the progressive women of the
country, and they are expressing their
indignation over some of its features
with the usual fervor of those who
consider themselves victims of mas
culine tyranny.
1t should be understood that the
antagonism of these ladies is not ex-
cited by the proposed rates on such
common and vulgar articles as hides,
wood pulp, pig iron and other pro-
ducts which interest the male mind.
On the contrary the delicate and re-
fined sensibilities and tastes of the
fair sex are in evidence even when
such a prosaic enterprise as tariff
revision is under consideration.
One of these women, Mrs. Ellen
Spencer Mussey of Washington, D. c.,
is reported as follows: The time has
passed when men can thus discrimi-
nate against our sex. No one seems
to know why we particularly have
been singled out for the application of
high duties. Gloves. hats. laces, per-
fumes, toilet articles, even the toys
for children and the every day things
that go upon the table, all are sub
ject to increased duty, while beer,
whisky and commodities of this char
acter-luxuries, if you want to call
them such-are decreased" We sus-
pect that this statement about a di-
unfinished tax upon beer and whisky
is one of those daring differences in
which the feminine mind sometimes
INDUCES when an obnoxious masculine
performance or product is under con-
sideration.
II Representative Payne and his
fellow committeeman really have been
guilty of discriminating against wo-
men in the tariff, as charged by Mrs.
Mussey, no punishment can be too
severe for them; for they must have
been guilty of folly as well as malice.
The women, bless them, will still have
their gloves, hats, laces. perfumes and
other dainty little articles of neces-

THE MUCKRAKERs rIsPLEAsED.


A Washington dispatch last week
stated that there were signs of dis
approval on the part of some of the
magazines and pictorial weekly news
papers which supported the Roosevelt
administration, of the policy of Presi-
dent Taft so far as it has been out
lined.
These newspapers and magazines
which. it is further stated, belong to
the undertaking class, are beginning
the organization of a plan to dis
credit the present administration with
the object of securing the succession
of Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. LaFollette
and their own return to journalistic
clover.
We had not observed signs of such
movement, though it would not be
a surprising thing. for Mr.. Tafts ad-
ministratiOn promises little encour-
agement of sensational undertaking
That he will continue present reforms
and inaugurate new ones will not be
sufficient for the muckrakers unless
the reforms are prosecuted in a
spectacular manner. A quiet reform.
however effective, would not be to
their taste at all A $29,O00,000 suit
against the Standard Oil company,
though it fail, is more to the pur-
pose Of the muckrakers than the silent
abatement of the evils on which such
a suit would be grounded.
Attacks upon the trusts. with re-
sounding, reverberating. though inef-
fective, blows bring to the sensational
press. daily. weekly or monthly. de-
light and profit Noise and odor are
essential to the existence of the
muckrakers. Therefore, it is entirely
probable that mushroom magazines
and the yellow press, which have rev.
eled in sensations during the last four
or five years, should desire a recur-
renee of the tumult and stencil amid
which they have thrived and fattened.
But their crusade against the ad-
ministration will be opposed by the
great body of the respectable press.
by the magazines of standing and
worth, as well as by the great body
of the people composing the COM
mercial and Industrial forces of the

HOW TO CARE FOR A WATCH
Points To Be Remembered by Every
Watch Owner.

Tho follow nag Interesting statement from "
customer Of tie Waitham Watch Company. Of
Waltlam. Mass with regard 10 the care Of a

The driving wheels Of the fastest locomotive

and on an average are oiled after every three or

him "A pirate.
modern watch movement is composed Of
about a hundred and fifty distinct parts, ami
correct timekeeping depends upon unity Of ac-
ton Of all these PARTS.
Did you stop TO consider that the balance Of
your Waltham watch vibrates 15-.0GO000 times
in twelve months, and that the rim Of this tiny
wheel travels In that period further than fron
New York to Liverpool? It had done its allotted
work with untirng energy, showing you the
value OF every speeding moment. DO not frown
because il asks drop Of oil once a year Some
men would save money in the end II their
watches would whistle when they needed clean
ing Consider also that the amount Of oil which
may be lifted on the head Of pin is enough foe
an entire Waltham watch movement. Ordinar-
ily at the end Of six months the oil in a watch
begins 10 dry and harden. TO the extent that
this change occurs the running Of the watch is
affected. In that is not adjusted the daily
variation being at first slight, is not likely to be
perceived so that of an adjusted and
closely rated watch not because the finer watch
is more sensitive, but because It's performance is
more closely observed.
