BETTER THAN CITY.

The city has some advantages overthe
country, but the advantages possessed
by the country towns outnumber these
more than two to one, says Erasmus
Wilson in the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
The average country town seems to be
soured, or in many dumps, beeause il is
not a city, or is not specially distinguished
in sone way.
The fact is that if the people who live
in town do not take pride in it you may
be sure others will not.
Another fact That should be borne in
mind is that the average citizen Of a
town has to be shown how to make his
home so attractive that he will be proud
oil ii and that his neighbors will notice
it and talk about ii.
One OF the characteristics of anew and
enterprising town is the abundance of
flowers and the neatness of the lawns
and grounds.
These speak more effectively for the
town than all the write-ups, picturecards
and circulars hat can be flashed up, for
these are apt to mislead and to fatal
disappointment to visitors.

HOUSE STANDS BY
STORMY MARCH 4
The House Defeats Resolution to
Change inaugural Day-Just BY
One-Third of a Vote.

Washington, May 17.-Sent1ment
was again tested in the House yester'
day toward the proposal to move for
ward Inauguration day from March 4,
TO April 30. The proposition was de
feated by one-third Of a vote. This
change a be made only by Consti-
tutional amendment, and under sus-
pension Of the rules the joint 'esolu-
ton offered by Mr.. Henry, of Texas,
proposing such an amendment to the
Constitution, was called up for consid.
Grafton. A two-thirds vote of each
branch OF Congress Is required for the
passage Of such a resolution, which
must in turn have the approval of the
Legislatures OF three-fourths iof the
States.
After a 40 minutes debate the roll
was called, and the result stood 139
10 20 in favor Of the resolution, with
q other members answering present.
The total number of votes cast was
209. Twothirds of that number is 139
IL, so that it was by one-thiri OF a
vote that the resolution failed. But
for the sudden decision of two mem
bers to vote instead Of remaining pair
ed the resolution would have carried
by a vote of 139 to 6S, or one more
than the necessary t%wo-thirds. These
members were Representatives Loud
enslager and Kinkaid, who have a gen.
eral pair. Just before the announce
ment of the vote they discovered that
each is opposed to the proposal to
change the inaugural date, and at the
last moment they mutually agreed to
break their pair and vote. Both voted
in the negative and their action is re-
sponsible for the defeat of the resoli-
ton.

ENDORSEMENT.

Terra Alta, w. Va, May 3, 1910.
Now that Hon. l.. J. Forman is a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress in the Second West
Virginia District, We as railroad tel
~egraphers desire to publicly express
our confidence in him as a man and as
a statesman. When the eight-hour
law, which has brought so much bene-
fit to the telegraphers and so much
more safety to the railroad-using pub
lie, as wanted in this State, the tele-
graphers depended on Mr.. Fornan 20
take care of the measure in the West
Virginia Senate. and he lapored man
fully, cheerfully and successfully.
without any hope of reward other
than the satisfaction of doing what he
considered his duty, to have the bill
enacted. The bill was bitterly fought
in the Senate, but the hard. honest,
conscientious work OF Senator Forman
at length prevailed over all opposition.
We believe Mr.. Forman to be an alb
solutely honest man. His word %
good in every case, Knowing him as
we do, We take the liberty of recon-
mending him heartily to all working
men. We believe he will make an
ideal Congressman, fair to all inter
ests and firm in any cause he believes
to be right, and we earnestly hope that
all w~orking7nen will give him their
support.
