MAJORITY FAVORED IT.

At a special election held yester.
day the voters Of Fairmont adopted
the commission form Of government
as per the act Of legislature Of last
winter. The Fairmont West Virgin
ian, Mr.. L. NJ. Davis strong Republi-
can newspaper of that city, made one
Of the hardest and most effective
fights in behalf Of the proposition
we have ever witnessed. The Times,
tho Democratic organ, also favored
the project, but not to the extent
which the West Virginian went. We
especially congratulate Mr.. Davis and
Mr.. Jacobs upon the success that has
attended their efforts for the better
ment~ of Fairmont, and we sincerely
hope that the new charter proves
all that it has been so enthusiastical-
ly described. The new charter car
ries the recall-something that every
city ought to have, and something
that would be a veritable god-send

SUPPORT THE FAIR.

Naturally the public spirited men
who have been backing the Fair
mont fair for years with their mon
ey with little hope Of financial gain,
and at a considerable loss each
year, with the possible exception oil
last year, are not feeling in the best
OF, spirits because of the heavy loss
that seems inevitable this year on
account OF the rain. The receipts
have been practically nothing so far
but the heavy expense has been pill
ing up each day, just as if the bust.
ness was flourishing under favora-
BILE conditions.
The Fairmont fair is one Of the
biggest advertisements this county
has ever had and it is doing the COM
munity great good by affording a
suitable meeting place for the peo.
pie Throughout this section of the
state, and providing amusement and
dnsttuction that is most valuable to
all s%ho4attend.
What has been lost during the
hrst two days OF the fair, should be
made up to the association on Fri,
day as Tar as possible. The bust.
ness houses will all be closed after,
noon Friday and everybody will
be given an opportunity to at
tend, and as it takes many fifty cent
admissions to cover the heavy ex.
rense, all who are able to do SC
should pay, as many admissions tc
the big show tomorrow as they can
afford. The small amount will moi
be- felt by the individual, but the az
gregate loss will fall as a very
heavy blow upon the enterprising
men who have borne the burden
while the business,fs being establish,
ed upon a: safe financial basis.
1T would be no less than a calam.
lity to. see the Fair Association get

FA1RMoNT JOINS US.

The city OF Fairmont has adopted
the commission form of government,
modelled somewhat after the Park
ersburg plan, with council of com
missioners, subject to direct influ-
ence and pressure from the people,
but elected from the city at large,
and with not only ward politics, but
all kinds of partisan politics elm
mated. Parkersburg can give those
who doubt in Fairmont ample testi-
mony that the plan will work, pro-
vided, in the very first place, that
the commissioners chosen under the
new order are men who confront the
problems of, government in good
faith-who actually eliminate the
partisan politics, and who really
choose to give the city business
government. The pattern is true

SION.

Fairmont is the latest West Vir-
einia city to adopt the commission
form of government. In an election
held yesterday the voters OF the
prosperous Marion county town rat
flied a charter which is based large
ly upon that in effect in Hunting
ton. There was determined opposi-
ton upon the part of the old bosses
to the ratification Of the new char
ter, but the advocates Of progressive
government won out handsomely,
rolling up a goodly majority for the
new charter. 1t is the prediction OF
The Advertiser that Fairmont will
never regret the change.
Huntington was the first city In
West Virginia to adopt the commits
sion plan. That was less than five
years ago. To-day the commission
form is in effect in Bluefeld, Charles
ten, Parkersburg and Fairmont.
Wheeling is the only city that has re-
iected the commission plan, and

an atheist and man Of no religious
convictions. To confound the au-
thors Of such ISLANDERS upon the men,
DRY of one OF Americas greatest
men, William ]. johnson has writ
ten a book published by the Metho-
dist Book Concern, entitled "Abra'
ham Lincoln, the Christian" In
which abundant proofs of Lincoln's
firm belief in deity, and dependence
upon religion, are set forth. Com
nenting on the book the Cincinnati
Enquirer says:
zone characteristic episode rectt-
cd is, in fact, alone conclusive. TINS
relates to a conversation taht took
rlace July S, 1853, Just after the re-
ceipt Of the news from Gettysburg
Lincoln, an old friend, by the way,
strange to say, of Picket, was chat
ting with Sickles. In reply to a
question from that wounded general
as to whether he had been anxious
over the result Of the fight the pres
ident had gravely remarked:

LUKE McIUKE SAYS.

A woman won't stand for any one
else abusing her husband. That is
her exclusive privilege.
A child receives kisses free, but
young man has to steal them and an
old man has to buy them.
After meeting a nice young man
for the first time girl always lays
awake for an hour wondering If she
made an impression.
Father always gets mad when he
finds that he can see through moth
er's kitchen skirt after the iceman
and a dozen peddlers have made
their calls.
The old-fashioned girl who used to
have to carry the washtub up to her
room when she wanted to take a
bath and roster cheeks than the girl
who finds it work to turn on the
faucets these days.
Daughter will run around the
house all morning in transparent
night-gown, but she gets highly in
dignant II father doesn't put on his
pants before he goes to the bath
room.
What has become of the old-fash,
toned man who used mustache,
cup?
Every wife imagines that all the
men she knows envy her husband.
Women are all alike, but men
have an idea that the dear things
are all different.
Women used to be a mystery to-
man. ut that was before the skin
tight cobweb clothes came into
style.
Father will wander around and
accumulate a mixed cargo of beer,
booze, train oil. garlic, onions and
limburger and will happen to re-
member that he hasn't loved mother
up for q week. Then he will go
home and get mad because mother
doesn't want TO kiss him.
There are SO seats on a street car,
but the man who hasn't had bath
since the Johnstown flood always
sits down right beside you.

Men who put their money into an
enterprise like a county fair are
taking a very large hazard, since
its success always depends upon the
weather and the dates must be fixed
so far in advance that no one can

effect of such an expedient as cor
rective Of the abuse under discussion
We have, made no attempt at dis
cussion OF the merits of the great prin-
ciples involved. AS a matter OF fact
there has been but little discussion oil
those principles in this state. Soutn
Carolina has erected a great top-heavy
higher educational system mainly as
the result of argument on but one
side of the question. Much of that ar
gument has been specious and mis-
leading. There has not yet arisen any
great champion of common school edu :
cation, with the ability to show the
people, that their greatest need lies In
the development and maintenance OIL
primary and grammar schools. When
some strong, capable leader takes up
this question in the right kind OF way
he is going to revolutionize our whole
educational system, with the result
that the higher institutions will lose
their present strong grip. Somehow
we have a feeling that If real compul-
sorry education ever comes, one OF the
first steps that will be taken in its es-
tabIishment will be the diversion OF the
large sums that are now being appro-
priated for the state colleges to the
common schools.

Within THE IOWN

AN amusing incident happened
Wednesday morning as the C. &. NJ
WIS train No. was coming up the
grade between East Jefferson and
East Liberty streets. A small white
pig, registered stock of course, was
in the middle of the track. Engineer
Smyre blew his whistle vigorously and
the fireman rang the bell, but the
pig looked on with apparent uncon-
Germ. Uncle Bob applied the breaks and
brought the big mogul to a standstill.
The fireman jumped down from his
seat and tried to drive the pig off the
right Of way. The pig ran along the
track toward the station, the train
started and then the pig stopped again
and looked back. The engine was
stopped a second time and a standerby
drove the swine to East Liberty street
and off the track and allowed Uncle
Bob to pull his train to the station,
while many passengers smiled at the
incident.
Three gallons or more of whisky,
several pistols and q great deal of
shouting and cursing got a number of
employees of the Ancona cotton mill into
trouble Saturday night. 1t was rather
late in the night before the good tim
ers" were sufficiently lighted up with
whisky to start things. About twelve
o'clock the party was alarming the
whole section between the Nicely and
Ancona mills. They continued their
lark until early Sunday morning. and
in the meantime complaint having
been lodged with the authorities, Con-
stable Jackson with the assistance of
other officers, arrested the disturbers
and they were put under bonds Of SO
each. 1t is understood that the alleged
merry makers will stand trial, which
has been set for tomorrow afternoon at
| three o'clock. The Ancona mill author
tiles are doing their best toward sup
pressing all rowdyism at the mill, and
among it's employees, and 1t Is under
stood that they have employed counsel
to prosecute the principals In the rack
ct of Saturday night.
