Polls.

In the presentation of THE Spend
thrift last night the Poll Players had
excellent opportunity to show some fine
character acting, and to say that they
adequately met the requirements is but
simple justice due for their excellent eff
forts. Richard BUTLER, as Richard Ward,
husband of The Spendthrift," was es-
pecially good in his part.
The play deals with prosperous bust
ness man. who. through the eXtravagant
ideas of his wife, is brought to face ruin.
He pleads with her to cut down expenses.
She, however, wrapt up in motor cars
her friends, her social standing, her
maids and buffers, and of the place he
should occupy in the world, cannot see
why she should be asked to give up any
thing. until she realizes his true position

ing as governess, cured of her extrava-
CANT ideas and anxious to return. A
happy ending is the result.
Miss lZetta Jewell, as the wife. was
excellent. Others in the cast who took
their parts unusually well were William

Bowser, as Saunders; Miss Gertrude

Helen Tracy, as Gretchen Jams. their
aunt, and Miss Marie Carroll, as Elsie,
a maid.
The Poll audience last night was given
little innovation by the management.

act it was Immediately raised and the
audience permitted to see the work of

this week is La Lillian and Mr.. Holt, the
clever dancers. who began their extended
engagement last night Their exhibition

week and every number was enthusiastic

La Lillian is light and graceful, and
with her partner dances all the modern
dances. including the hesitation. tango,
maxixe and all the other dancing fads
of the day.
Every inch of space was taken in the
big pavilion. and between times hun
dreds of dancers gave their own interpre-
tations of the new dances. now and then
contenting themselves with an old-time
waltz.
The merry go-round, gyroplane, coaster
and dozens of other amusement devices
all had their full quota of devotees and
the biggest crowd Of the season watched
the movies. which have become strong
faEorite among the parks patrons.

thought of a very simple plan to spoil
his fishing and at the same time get

So the next morning Little Joe hid
before daylight close by the little pool
where Buster Bear had given him such
fright. Sure enough. just as the first
sunbeams began to creep through the
Green Forest he saw Buster Bear COM

Little Joe slipped into the water and
chased all the fish out Of the little
pool and stirred up the mud on the
bottom SO that the water was so muddy
that the bottom couldn't be seen at all.
Then he hurried down to the next little
pool and did the same thing.

You see, he wasn't well enough acquaint-

There never will be any harmony
or concerted action in this city under
these conditions and the business in
tercsts of the city understand it. In
deed they are now ready to help cor
rect the wrong. Those who are close
TO the city administration recognize
this fact :" '
There is nobody trying to destroy
or tear things down, as is so often
charged, but there can never be any
building up until the foundation for
the building is laid in the solid ce-
ment of public approval, and to the
satisfaction Of the property owners,
the tax payers and the rent payers.

They took the Democrats who went
TO Charleston in great numbers in OPP
position to the non-partisan charter
in good faith and came back willing
to abide by a compromise that was
not wholly satisfactory to them for
thctsak Of peace and harmony.
They did not suspect that little
partisan tactics would be resorted to
to disfranchise the large number OF
voters who are now complaining at

The West Virginian has no unkind
words to say against Mr.. Shaver or

It does reserve the right to oppose
him and discuss his official record

neighbor concede us this privilege?

This will have to come before Fair

There is no question about this. The
Republicans stand for Fairmont.
They stand for the state. They stand.
for the people. and they. will do as
much as any other party to build up
the city. Without their. help and
cooperation there can not be much
progress. They cannot be banded
about as SO many chattcls, with their
representative rights denied them,
and be expected to lick the hand that
|smites them.
This city is destined to become
one of the most prominent trading
centers in the state. 1t has the re-
sources, its people have the energy,
the push and the brains to make 1t a
great city. We are now getting an
other railroad in to the city. We are
pushing forward rapidly each year
but with the proper cooperation,
these things can be made to show
much better results. 1t is indeed a
shame that partisan bias should lead
the people of Fairmont in the wrong
direction. The Times has been very
frank in condcmning the city admin,

the commissioners as "the rankest
kind of amateurs" OF course they
had to get experience to starting OF
the new form of government and
their little mistakes in this respect
is not what the Republicans complain
about. 1t is the absolute disregard
for the plain provisions of the char
ter, its partisan bias and complete
partisan domination. The rank and
file of the Democratic party are out
of sympathy with the local condi-i
tions and welcome fair play.

at is equally astonishing that Mr..

party platform for the failure of a
bipartisan charter for the City Of
Fairmont to pass the legislature.
when 1t actually passed the House OF
which he was member, in the exact
form in which it was submitted by
the distinguished gentleman, who is
understood to have drafted the party
platform which denounced him.
The Times.
1t is true that it passed the house
of which Mr.. Shaver was a member
but the Journal, on page 33S, shows
Mr.. Shaver "absent and not voting"
There is nothing astonishing about
this at all. Mr.. Shaver was the deic-
gate from Fairmont and refused to
introduce the bill that the people al
most to unit by petition and reso-
luton. the Chamber of Commerce and
the Business Mems Association, the
Independent Trades Council, and
many other organizations had en-
dorsed and all these people had to
appeal to Mr.. Ice who did not live in
the city, to introduce this bill and
secure its passage through the house.
Mr.. Ice knew the people wanted It
and lie fought for it in the Senate
Just as 1t was introduced and passed
in the House in spite of the bitter
denunciation and abuse he suffered
by members Of his own party. And
pray tell US why, If Mr.. Shaver was
for this bill, that it could not be
passed in the Senate when the Two
senators lived outside Of the county
and was only guided by local advice?
Mr.. Shaver was never in favor of the
non-partisan plan of government, as
was SO generally Endorsed by the peo-.
pie, and lie insisted on there being
four commissioners provided in the
bill instead of three, as the original
bill provided.
