The Fairmont, Fair Association
will hold the first annual meeting OF
the fair associations in West Vir-
ginia this season. 1t precedes the
Wheeling fair one week. The
Wheeling meeting is followed by the
Glarksburg and the following week
is given over to Parkersburg. These
meetings are bringing the greatest
array Of race horses ever seen with
In the commonwealth OF West vir-
ginia. All of the fair associations
are offering sufficient purses to at
tract the attention of the owners OF
the best horses in the entire coun.
try. The jumps arc short and this
adds to- the attractiveness. Prac-
tically the same horses will be seen
ut these fairs. These are reasons as.
signed for more than three times as
mahy Horses entered for the coming
races at the local grounds than has
ever been entered for any previous
meeting. General Manager Frank
Amos says that the association will
have to have monster tent to shell
ter the spirited nags which will be
here, for the stables on the ground
will only accommodate a minority Of
the horses already entered.
One feature that will make for q
better season of racing is the fac.
that purse of $1,000 has been
hung mp for the best time made on
the three tracks by the drivers. The
purse is divided into three parts. the
driver making the best time will be
awarded a purse of $500, the second
best will be given $500 and the
third best will receive consolation
prize of 5000. This will have the er- |
feet Of making the drivers work
hardder with their horses and will
also make for better races and bet
ter time.
While there are number Of .hors-
es at the fair grounds at present
and many will remain there until
the fair Is held. more will commences
to arrive within the next week or
ten days; and Ii Is expected that by

THE RIGHT WAY TO MAKE
 IMPROVEMENTS WITHOUT
 JIMPING THE TAX RATE.

 IT T WILL BE about four years since the High l school was agitated until it's comple- ton. If four years ago 1$100,0OO fha been laid in advance to pay for-its construction, and this been done during five years fund would have been available amounting to something like $550O0O, or s50,OOO more than the required amount.
 The high school has, been built, however by debt created by the issuance of fifty year bonds.
 The value of the materials and labor in the school will be but S50OOO0.
 The cost of the school, interest added, will be Si ,oo0OoD
 The only object that ever jlstifles muni- cipal debt is to keep the tax rate from leaping violently when costly improvements are made. This object can be equally well obtained by establi shing permanent improvement fund.- which will bring money into the city instead of dollbl ing or trebling the cost of everything But sensible plan like this would scarce ly be approved by the public service gentry who wish to delay municipal ownership.

HOW NEW HAVEN WAS LOOTED

FW@IMOTHY E. BYRNES, formerly vice-pres-
 ident of the New Haven road, testi- fled before the Interstate Commerce Commits sion, yesterday, to the disbursement of slush promoters and lawyers for helping to create sentiment'' in favor of the New Haven, which meant creating sentiment in favor of the par ticular gang of managers engaged in footing the property Of the New Haven
 At an earlier hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission, in Boston, Ed Rob- bins, who is in charge of C,onnecticut's educa- tional affairs, testified that he used 9$1OOOOO to influence public opinion, and that he used the money so successfully the General As seTnbly voted unanimously for railroad bill.
 It was MT. Mel1en who testified to the dis bursement Of other hundreds Of thousands of stockholders money, for purposes of a sinister
 Of course the thousands that were expend- ed in influencing public opinion were a mere fraction of the thousands that were taken from the stockholders by the men who wanted q pulp lie opinion favorable to them.
 It will be remembered that much Of this aso-called public opinion, paid for, touted Nell len. The same broken, and aging Mellen who will soon testify again before the commis ssion, that is if Attorney General McR Reynolds will let him, for the attorney general declares that by testifyins Me1Ien will gain immunity y, and he doesn't want him to have it.
 As to the destination of the money paid to lobbyists, there cannot be much doubt. Some of it, a generous portion, lined their own poe kets. Some of it went directly into the pockets of legislators. Only upon this theory can the strange willingness of the legislative bodies of three states to assist the footing Of the New Haven, be accounted for
 At present it looks as if thefts, embezzle- ments and crimes of the most serious character against the state itself will go unpunished, by penalties of imprisonment
 It is beginning to look as if the public will have to be satisfied with the knowledge that the thing is done, while the owners of got ten gains, thieves too big for the law to reach, enjoy their earnings in the midst of conspicu- ous degradation.

 Of course the business off1ce is bound to come to the front, more or less, in the community, because it has to collect the biI1ss.it has to solicit ad- vertfsinB, it has to go a good deal further, because the business re- quires more. The day of the one cent newspaper. of large size, expen- sive features. and costly news service makes the newspaper a greater charge upon the community than it fornaerIy was; and yet we have the spectacle of a business that has steadily reduced it's cost to the public, against a stead fly rising system of costs in every oth- it can be said, has not only benefited the community by what it does for 1t from the publicity standpoint, but it has actually become cheaper, it has made knowledge cost less. and it has widened it's range enormously, some times think we must be magicians in the energy and skill we display in transportins knowledge from one side of the world to the other. and making it cheap so that the hunbIest may have 1t within his means That, it. self, Is a good deal of an idkeal.
 SPEED OF TRANSMISSION.
 You gentlemen in the South operate in the most delicate field in the world for newspapers. You are in communi- t1Se IaasI are SenS1L1FS, WnO nave time honored habits, not all of them good, but habits that are fixed, that you have to contend against, fierce politics, strange antagonisnns which do not ex- ist in the North and marvel at the way you have overcome them, and the way newspapers have grown in the Southland in the last ten years 1t shows there must have been somebody down there with ideals and courage who could stand by a purpose and get out a paper under difficult financial conditions, against public opinion. llrl- til you changed most of that opinion, until you softened the country, made it less suspicious and broader minded.
 The business office is Justly and properly subordinated to the editorial side of the newspaper. It begins up stairs: some bold reporter risking his neck getssa piece of news which is worth great deal more to good news paper than the best advertising man ager that ever lived. A good editorial writer who will conceive strong thought. who will bring about changes that are desired is worth more than any business manager My motto is sustain the editor. I feel a good deal about 1t like Decatur's famous toast My country. right or wrong! May she ever be right, but right or wrong, she's my country Right or wrong the edi- tor is making the paper; if you don't stand by the editor, you lose your paper; if the editor hasn't any ideals he ism t fit to be an editor.

WASHINGTON ABOUT TO SET AN
 EXAMPLE IN 3 CENT FARES
LARMED BY THE favorable attitude Of

A HARMED BY THE favorable altitude of "A the House of Representatives toward the Cfosser Bill for the municipal ownership of the Washington city street car lines, the great American Electric Railway Association representing the combined traction interests of the United States, has turned it's attention to this measure, and has already succeeded in causing delay when the House committee was. just ready to report the bill out favorably.
 It seems that the association recently held a convention, at which the proposition for rais- ing street car fares in most cities Of the United States to more than the usual five cents was seriously discussed. Seeing prices in nearly every other line being raised, and the railroads asking for permission to make a general hori- zontal raise in freight rates, made the street car men uneasy at the thought that perhaps they are not getting all that. is coming to them.
 The delegates were more than safely and comfortably back to their homes, dreaming of the day when fares would be raised, when news came from Washington that Congress is likely to pass the Crosser Bill. Since Represen- |tative Crosser, who comes from Cleveland, the home of low street car fares, declares that un- der traffic conditions in Washington cars could be profitably operated by the government with a 2 1-2 cent charge for fare cold apprehen- sion at once struck into the operators and they decided to hasten at once to the aid of their brothers in Washington
 The spectacle of Washington cars carrying passengers for less than three cents would not be good preliminary advertising for any general movement to increase fares elsewhere
