from there the horses would be raced
through this state, Ohio, New York

and local horsemen are taking great
interest IN the coming meeting at

spring meetings in this vicinity, it
hardly pays an owner to have his
horses trained for the spring meets.

THE NEW MAYOR

Thomas A. Fisher, the new mayor
of Alexandria is one Of the most popu-
lar young man i'll the city. Socially,
fraternalIy, politically and in a busl-
ness way, he numbers his friends by
the thousands and his overwhelming
victory yesterday was a great tribute
to his popularity.
He was born i'll Alexandria, III. the
Third Ward, May "a, 1870 and is forty
two years old. His father was Isaiah
Fisher, who was d native OF Occoquall
and a Mexican war veteran. He was
an attorney by profession, having
died many years ago. The new may
ors mother was Mrs. Sallie Fisher
who was Miss Stevenson. Hel
death took place one year ago.
Mir. Fisher was educated i'll The
public schools Of Alexandria and wa:
one Of The Col. r. Fl. Fickiin "boys.
After he left school he entered bus
mess in Alexandria and became con
uected with number Of firms chang
ing from one to another i'll increasing
positions of trust For several year
he Travelled for Charles King & Son
and Frank Harper and was afterward
connected with the wholesale grocer,
trn, Of Fisher & Brother. VIXEN the

A crusade on "fads and frills" In the
public schools Of the city is to be start
ed In New York, with more thorough
ness and less experimentation as it's
slogan. Everywhere there seems stir
ring this revolt against the excessive
system Of experiment to which the
schools have been subjected, with cor
responding loss of thorough grounding
in essentials. The educational the
ories of the present seem to share the
prominent American craze for speed,
more or less regardless of the risks
involved in attaining it. The agitation.
which appears to be general, will
doubtless result in restoring the pen
dulum, which has swung too far In
both directions of conservatism and
progress, to its normal swaying.

FAITHFUL WORK.

The expression, Faithful work Is
always Of the same size" appeared In
recently published article. 1t opens
world of thought to those who pause
long enough to consider such matters,
besides Offering a generous share or
comfort and encouragement to those
who sometimes grow dishcartened at
the apparent result Of their efforts.
It is true that the world Is not always
as appreciatiye as 1t might be, but
then while the world has big heart
and, as a rule, kindly disposition. II
does not always show its appreciation
al the moment, says the Charleston
News and Courier. 1t is just this ap-
parent lack of encouragement that
makes us lose heart at times and Won
der whether after all 1t is worth while
to do our best The big things in life
seem to take up so much room IN the
public eye that the smaller and just
as worthy matters are crowded out.
At least that Is the impression which
many persons form who see the ef-
fects of large efforts. whether they he
along constructive, or charitable or ed
! vocational lines. In way these ell
fects are spectacular; indeed there is
large proportion of mankind who re-
qufre brilliant effects to make them
display interest in passing events. The
quiet, unobtrusive worker intent upon
results he accomplishes more than up
on the impression he creates in over
looked many times, and after while
the want of attention given him and
the lack of encouragement offered him
find expression in his attitude Of grow.
ing discomfort towards life.

Armour Company decided to open a
branch in this city Mr.. Fisher was Sc
Ilected as it's manager and the great
growth of it's business here is due to
the foundation which he laid. He left
Armour & Company to enter business

the Spanish-American war resigned a
most lucrative situation to enter the
service of Uncle Sam as private. He
served through the war and when it
was over returned to Alexandria.
In 1899 he married his cousin, Miss
Lillian L. Fisher, Of Brooklyn, N. Y,
and for the last few years has been
devoting himself to large number OF
important business propositions in
which he and his wife are interested.
Mr.. Fisher has always been greatly
interested in politics and for many
years has been a consistent worker
for the Democratic party in Virginia.
Eleven years ago he was elected as
Police Commissioner from the Second
Ward and since the death of Zorro Hill
has been the secretary of the board.
He has made good public officer and
has assiduous1y worked in the promo
ton of the best interests Of the po-
lice force.

achieved splendid reputation. At

YESTERDAYS ELECTION

The result Of yesterdays Democrat
ic primary for the selection of a can
didate for mayor and members of the
city council was an overwhelming vic
tory for the people of Alexandria,
who have the best interests of this old
city at heart, and complete vindi-
cation for the men who have stood FOL
conservative interests of the commu-
nifty against the views of the so-callec
"Progressives." Mr.. Fishers victory
while one Of the greatest personal
tributes that any man has ever receiv-
ed in Alexandria, and which was won
by him against the most astounding
odds, was largely due to the principles
for which he stood. He placed upon
his shoulders the mantle dropped by the
lamentcd Hubert Snowdcn, and stand
ing on a platform that opposed the
views of Mr.. Brockett and his support
crs, achieved a victory which has rare
ly been exceeded
There was practically no opposition
to Mr.. Brockett personally, because
the community at large has realized
that he has devoted a great deal of
his time to the best interests OF AL
exandria, and in his efforts as one OF
the chief supporters of the, Chamber
of Commerce, had done many things
for Alexandria which had helped to
advance it's prosperity, but Mr.. Brock
EFT, like most enthusiasts was not con-
tent to see Alexandria continue its
safe and sane career, but wanted to
plunge the city into an extravaganza
which it could i'll afford.
The result of the campaign makes
it clear that the people of Alexandria
are opposed to an eXtravagant policy
of government and are we'll content
with the ideas which have been sue
cessfully carried out for the past ter
years and which have brought Alex.
andria to the front among her sister
cities of Virginia.
The Gazette congratulates Alexan
dria upon the result. We have ahid
ing faith in the future Of our town
We can see within few years unde
the same careful and conservative
policy of the past that improvement
will continue until all of our street,
are paved with the most modern paw
ing, our schools occupying the highes
position in Virginia's public schoo
system, and our boundrles extende
until they include sufficient territor
for our growing population.
Each side smilingly believed the
represented the majority in the poll
cies for which they stood. The peopl
have now spoken and in the result 0
Yesterdays election the issues whic
have agitated council for two year
were settled. There should be II
spirit of Boosting OH the one side
soreness on the other, but both fact
ions should unite in forgetting the lii
tie family quarrel and carry out s,i'
cessfully the policies for which til
voice of the people has been heard.
We believe that Mr.. Brockett al
his friends will now bow to the will
the people and join with the grei
majority Of our citizens i'll continuln
their work CT up5ulding AleHsncll
