The Family Garden

Making garden is one of the most
healthful and profitable employ
ments to which leisure time may be
devoted, but it is one from which
many urbanites are barred by the
narrow combines OF the grounds OIL
which their homes are built. The
increasing value OF real estate en-
forces the economy of using every
available foot in the most profitable
way and that is to cover the ground
with buildings of some sort that
VIII produce a revenue and for
which there is most likely to be a
demand. Out in the suburbs and in
the towns and villages the best use
to which the ground can be put is
raising vegetables for family use
and for sale to the grocer.
While the work Of garden making
is not toilsome, notes an exchange,
1t demands some attention every day
and those who take it up with the
opening OF spring should do so with
the determination to follow it
through the summer in consistent
and systematic manner. Otherwise
the results will scarcely warrant
the expenditure of time and labor,
however slight it may be. Besides
providing the table with vegetables
fresh from the garden, which in
these days of long shipments and
withered products are a real luxury,
the spading, hoeing and raking af-
ford heaIthful recreation and exer-
else which men engaged in seden-
tary pursuits stand in great need of
to keep their bodies in "A healthful
condition and relax the mental
strain to which they are subject dur
ing business hours. Beyond the
benefits obtained in this manner
and the luxury of having vegetables
from ones own garden, picked i'm
mediateiy before they are prepared
for cooking, there is the pleasure of
seeing things grow, a pleasure of
which many people have little con
ception, for the reason that they
have never taken an interest in the
wonderful process of producing
things from the soil.
One need not go into gardening to

..Nnn.Pn1tisanN Cfovernment.

From time TO time the, Telegram
has editorially expressed its skepti-
clsm Of the sweeping claims made by
some investigators that the so-called
brand Of non-partisan city govern
ment would eliminate politics from
municipal campaigns. This paper
believes these persons have been
the victims of fallacious use OF
terms. one might as well try to re-
move the shadow from substance
in the science OF optics or eliminate
gravitation from water in the study
of hydraulics. Politics means moth
L ing mere than the methods of oper-
ating city government in its
various phases and about the only
way to eliminate the politics from
the government would be to abolish
the government, which would be
anarchy and no one desires that,
even those misguided persons who
are apparently seeking it.
Parkersburg, this state, is now
exhibiting very good sample of the
manner in which the alleged non
partisan form Of city government
does away with politics. The
Iwheeling Intelligencer reeounts the
present situation in the Wood
county capital in the following in
teresting editorial:
"a new non-partisan city charter OF
Parkersburg, which 1T was conf
IDENTITY predicted would eliminate
party politics in the city elections
has plunged that thriving city into
one OF the most vicious politlcal
fights it has ever seen. A Republi-
can has been nominated for mayor
| Democrat has also been nominated
for mayor. Democrats have man
aged to secure the majority of the
councilmanic nomination, but Re-
publicans have concentrated their
strength and may be able to control
| the situation. The Democratic Sell
tinel is ardently supporting the
democratic candidate for mayor
and the Republican State Journal
and Dispatch4News are just as ar
IDENTIFY supporting the Republican
candidate for mayor. Thus It ap-
pears that Parkersburg has a
straight political fight on its hands,
complicated by the Disappointment
and heart burnings of some fifty or
sixty candidates who cannot explain
why they were defeated in the gen
eral primaries!S The assumption
that any form of government is go
ing to eliminate party politics from
public affairs is a mistaken one.
Men will divide along political lines
just as they divide along religious
lines, and SO long as public position
commands influence and power, SC
long will political partisans seek TO
fiji that position with men of thei:
own party faith.

THIS city shortly for conference on
the matters ct haad, and. while the
date for Mr.. Cardpbell,s visit has
not been set, preparations are we'll
under way to give him a cordial
greeting. The reception committee
VIII be composed Of practically every
business man in town and elo-
quent speakers, thoroughly con-
versant with the subject at hand.
viii place the community's demands
for better train service before the
guest in such manner that they
cannot well go unheeded, A petit
ton bearing hundreds Of signatures.
will be offered as additional evidence
that Weston wants improved traffic
conditions.
Foremost among the several
things desired is, of course, the re-
instatement of the Pittsburg flyer
between Clarks6urg, which IS now
the southern terminal for the train,
and Weston, and the strongest e.
forts will be directed toward bring
ing this about. The contention used
by the railroad company when this
train was taken on a few years ago,
that it did not pay. will not hold
good now, even II ii did then, for
conditions have so chan ed that this
would probably be one OF the most
remunerative trains on the branch.
With the flyer arriving here at mid
night, any number of our people
conld and would make frequent
trips to- points along the line on the
early evening train and return on
the flyer. The added convenience Of
coming straight through from Pitts
burg without the trouble and ex-
pense ola stop over night at Clarks-
burg, would also Be much appreci-
ated. There are numerous other
reasons why the flyer would prove
OF benefit to both the railroad COM
pany and our town, which will ba
aired later.
Another matter that needs correc-
ton is the poor accommodations
Afforded on local trains, and an eff
fort will be made to have Pullman
or chair car put in servoce on all
trains on the branch.
The broken connection with the
Coal and Coke railroad at Orlando
on Sundays, will be still another
matter agitated, for all ,s:.ose days
in the week Sunday is the most con-
yenient and desirable day fol-
travel from the lower end of the
state. But, with no connection pos
sible with the Baltimore and Ohio,
commercial men and others are
compelled to either lose the day and
remain in Charleston, or else make
the long and tedious trip around
by the Ohio river division. with
the usual week day connection "a at
Orlando in effect there on Sundays,
this city would be enriched more
than hundred dollars each week,
and the travelling public would be
better satisfied.
The Redwood Board of Trade is
reported to have succeeded in hav-
ing trains No. and vestibuled
and grill car will be hauled as
soon as the new schedule goes into
effect May 81. Richwoods success
should add additional zest to the
local crusade, and nothing short OF
a decided Improvement in traffic
conditions will be satisfactory, o,
cause a cessation OF the efforts now
being made.
