New Mines in POcahuntaS Field.

The Pocahontas Consolidated Col
lleries Company are at present engsged
IN opening two new mines on the Tug
side of the Flat Top. This will mean
that the output will be handled over
the Tug Fork branch, reaching the main
line of the Norfolk and Western at Tug
junction, near WEIGH, instead of COM
ing out by way of Pocahontas as does
the rest of the output of their mines.
This probably means they will go into
the western market with their coal.
This, though, seems to be the tendency
of the entire field, for when the eastern
movement used to largely exceed the
western, at present the movement is
reversed so much so that the western
movement is usually two-thirds of the
entire movement from the field.

Fleetwood for Governor

While the canvass for the Republi-

mont has still four months to run,
events are so shaping themselves
that it is not too early for men or
newspapers of any positive mind
about the present situation to de-
clare their preference between the
two candidates now left in the field

Frederick G. Fleetwood Of Morris

dwell upon in detail from time to
time in these columns but which It
may now generalize in saying that it
sincerely believes he is the most de-
serving man in the field or from pres

INC PenaIties Of Indifferenoe

Following is sermon on town
Improvement that should be read by
every man residing in rural sections
throughout the country: The man who,
expending his energies wholly on prl-
vate affairs, refuses to take trouble
about public affairs, pluming himself
on his wisdom in minding his own
business, is blind to the fact that his
own business is made possible only by
maintenance Of a healthy social state
and that he loses all around by de
fective governmental arrangements.
Where there are many like minded
with himself-where as consequence
Offices come to be filed by political ad-
venturers and opinion is swayed by
demagogues-whe bribery vitiates
the administration Of law and makes
fraudulent state transactions habitual,
heavy penalties fail on the commune
ty at large and, among others, on
those who have thus done everything
for self and nothing for society. Their
investments are Insecure. Recovery of
their debts is difficult. and even their
lives are less safe than they would
otherwise have been.-Herbert Spen-

News dispatches tell of young
student of social economy whose
home is in Elmira, n. Y, who has
made a two years test Of the possibih-
ty of saving money while working as
day laborer. To win wager he
has saved over $400 in two years and
at the same time has supported him
self comfortably This goes to prove
the contention of some careful stu
dents that extravaganza in living is
responsible to a large extent for the
financial stringency in the ordinary
family Aside from farm products,
which are bound to be higher owing
to the decrease in the number Of far
mers while the number of consumers
is constantly increasing, comparative
ly few things cost as much as they
did a third or a half a century ago.
But really that isn't the issue at all.
What is the use of living in this adj
vanced age if we are going to be
scrimped down to the bare necessi-
ties? One of the proofs Of advanc
ing civilization is that the ordinary
person can have the comforts and ad
yantages which were the exclusive
property of the wealthy a half cen
fury ago There is more money in
circulation to pay for these extras
than there was then and people arr
willing to spend freely. The outrage
of the present generation is that a
few men through industrial mono
poly get more than their fair share
of the profits of labor and that the
man who does the work does not get
his fair share 1t is right for capita
and business talent to earn reason
able profit on their investment Lo
money and brains, but it isn't righr
for them to get all the profit anC
leave labor to the mercy of soulless
greed and monopoly.

THE BILLBOARD EVIL.
Monsolsir IN. j. Society Fighting to
Eliminate Advertising Posters.

Montelair N. j. Society Fighting to
Eliminate Advertising Posters.
The Mountain society. devoted 10
lettering conditions in the northern
portion OF the town Of Montclair, y.
j. is making it known to the mer-
chants thereabout that if they want
the custom Of its members they must
advertise in a seemly way. And this,
they say. is not via the billboard. The
society has issued this statement:
There is no legal way to prevent
the erection Of such signs on private
property or 90 cause their removal
after they are erected, but the com
murity has ~ its hands an effective
method Of sing them worthless by
reir ir- it lr goods so advertised.
No advert -r wiil spend his money on
such diss. when II is well under
stood that le community which he
seeks 10 ia.-ost in his goods is averse
to that KIND If advertising"
And these rcformers go further
stil. They are sending out cards
with the statement Il am opposed to
the erection Of signs for advertising
purposes in Upper Montclair, and the
policy Of my family is not to buy
goods advertised i'm that manner.
This statement the society requests its
members to sign and return.

Barre property owners have just
been compelled to put on fire escapes
as provided by law. County and town
prosecuting officers have failed in
their duty in enforcing the law in re-
gard to fire escapes and the state
authorities are beginning TO take
it up. Sooner or later they will get
around to Bennington and there will
be not only the expense of putting on
the fire escapes, but also a penalty to
pay for violation of the law. The
property owners who are now ne
glecting to obey the fire escape law,
and there are several of them in
Bennington, will find much better
in the end if they will go ahead and
equip their buildings now instead OF
waiting to be forced through legal
prosecution.

KICK ON THE CUSTOMS COURT
Some Senators Not Pleased with Geo

Washington, Feb l6.-The Senate
judiciary committee has considered
with out taking action, the nomina-

tors, especially those from the South,
are not pleased with the geoeraphi-

west of the Rocky mountains, one is
from New York and the other from
New England The objection raised
against the confirmation of the mem.
bers of the court, is that the Middle
West and the South are unrepresent.

the tariff is a local question, every
section of the country should have a

effort to prevent the confirmation of

THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.
One Described by Professor Zuebin
During a Recent Lecture.

In a recent lecture Professor Charles
Zueblin said regarding the city Of the
future" IF we consider the expert
ence of the chief cities of today we
can choose from their successful mu-
nicipal undertakings examples which
would enable us to construct compo-
site city and while unsatisfactory as
an ultimate goal it might furnish
convenient working ideal for the con
temporary city.
THE streets of such Il composite
city would be broad, well paved and
clean, free from telephone and tele-
graph poles and lined with trees.
There would be comprehensive sew
erage system and method Of garbage
disposal. y public water supply would
include special provision for fire pro
lection fireboat and pipe line system,
for street and sewer flushing, for baths
and swimming pools
THE public school buildings natural
ly form the chief architectural adorn-
ments Of the city They should be To-
Gated In the midst of lawns and trees,
with provisions for Fairgrounds and
swimming pools, The curriculum
would include in addition to literary
and scientific branches kindergarten
and manual training, technical and art
instruction, trade instruction and com
mercial preparation.
ITO these Improvements would be
added a daily lunch. The community
would provide public libraries, OF
which Massachusetts cities are the
chief examples.
"These possibilities manlfestly make
some demand upon the imagination
which may prove bewlldering to the
hard headed citizen. The spasmodiC
advance Of today is due largely to the
occasional triumph Of the imaginative
official or public spirited citizen over
his Shor, ic..c, aGn iatcs"
