Some people don't like "us."
pAnnlNG rHELlsT.

In order to bring the salary and
wage list for 1918 UP as near as posi-
bic to the staggering figures shown
for 1914, the Times adds to this list
Mayors COSTS. $1,140.OO; attorney
$500: Collectors commissions, $2,454
and assessor, $500; sanitary officers
$4,000. None of these items were
shown in the estimate for levy pub
llshed by the council in 1913. The pub
llshed statement did show S240 fol
legal services, hut not the additional
$500 for the city attorney. But sup
pose the attorney did get the $24G
then. plus the 5000. he then would have
received only $4,000. The Democrat

IMPROVING THE HEALTH.

The Times In It's rehash OF our lig'
ures admits that the city attorney gets
now 1000 a year, and that the stem
ographer's fes have jumped from $3.50
to 5000; that the salary of the city
physician has been in creased from
$500 to 5000. and in addition we have
the health officer, also getting 5000.
who is this health officer, anyway?
There was provided for this purpose
in 1913 only $500 and it is now 5000.
Has the health been improved in Fair
mont TO the amount OF 5000 this year?
Are the doctors being driven out of
business by the great Improvement in
the health OF the city? We have heard
OF none OF them taking down their
shingles and moving away.

REMEMBER THE UNDERWOOD
oil IL

Remember that the only thing the
Democratic press has boosted that
Congressman Nicely has done for
iFairmont was to secure mail box 1T
the B. & o. station. But remember
that the Underwood bill has closed
down already part Of the plant of the
Monongah Glass Company, throwing
$50 men Of the city out of work. Which
of these services are you going to con
slider when voting in November?

THE P. & O. EARNINGS

Read the statement OF the earn
ings of the B. & o. Railroad Com
pany published in today's paper. It
is the best argument wo have seen
for many months against the Demo
cratic administration. Note how the
business has fallen off, how the reve-
nue. has decreased, and how the eX-
pcnses have increased, then vote for
Senator White for congress-that's
tile remedy.

for conditions under It's administra=
Estion than 10 dodge the resppnsibility
with a bispart isan subtertuge.
But better than all would sc be
could we OBJ ain an abso 1utely nom
partisan form OF government where
no parties are TO. be recognized and
one, wherein no partisanism could
arise, This can be done. Parkers-
burg did it. Petersburg secured a
non partisan charter.
Parkersburg people tried the sys-
tenn for a term Of three years. They
elected a Democrat as mayor at the
first election although his political
leaning was not an issue, and Park
ersburg is Republican city. At the
end OF the first term the two Repub-
lican papers supported this Demo
cratic mayor for reelection and he
was returned to office with all of the
same commissioners who would run
for the second term. He made his
race upon his record and not as a
partisan. This is an example of a
partisan form OF government.
Other cities have them and so can
Fatrmont II the people SO desire.
In accepting this bipartisan plan
we all did it not knowing what it
would be like in practice. Some of us
have been skeptical of it from the
beginning. Some OF us opposed it
from the beginning, but others said
1t would prove to be all right.
We were then theorizing and were
confronted with theory. We are
not theorizing now but we are con-
rronted with the actual conditions
and those conditions prove the fail
ure of the plan under the fairest kind
Of a test. If it fails with the kind Of
men in charge what will it do next
time If we, perchance, get men who
10 not measure up to the caliber Oh
The present commissioners?
-Fairmont is facing an important
year. Next year we will have our
good roads completed. We will have
another railroad completed into the
city.
Local conditions have been most
favorable for the people Of Fairmont
by having these two big enterprises
going forward when other business
conditions have been depressing.
After the election there is every indi-
cation that business may improve.
II it does Fairmont should be re-
iieved from the constant strain of 4
BAD fit in her plan of government.
Let the people become once moro
reconciled and satisfied. We cannot
prosper otherwise.
Why not lay aside personal ambt-
lions, private interests and greed for
3ower and let the people Of Fairmont
1T least have the opportunity Of try
ing what they have been pleading for
md what they have petitioned the
legislature for. Is their hope and
heir ambition to be stifled, their
energies dissipated and their spirit
II patriotism crushed by a handful
II politicians who stepped in be-
.ween them and what they demands
ID for their own selfish purposes?
Should few officeholders be able
20. send a telegram to Charleston ana
" going there in person step in be-
tween the people and what they de-
nand? We think this should not be
the case and we believe that the right
will yet prevail as far as this charter
s concerned. Let us strive to make
Tairmont a better city in which to
i've and a city where every tax payer.
big and little, the rent payers as well
IS tax payers have a square deaf.
rhe way to do this is "CHANGE THE
CHARTER"

lNFoRmATIoN WANTED.

We want to ask for information,
why is 1T that the city has provided
an outlay of $1,000 for meters for
1914, with no corresponding Offsets in
the estimate for receipts? Is the city
furnishing these meters free TO the
people? We have one, but We paid
the hard cash for it.

GASOLINE AND OIL $4,000.

The Times digs up an item of ex-
.pense for 1914 which reads as follows:
"Gasolfne and oil, $4,000" 1t also
shows Horse and vehicle, $780," We
suppose the gasoline is for the new
city automobile. But If that is the
case, why is the item for horse, and
vehicle still carried as an expense?

No. never fear, Mr.. Nicely will not

WHERE WOULD 1T END?

1t rests with the Democrats OF the
county this year to either maintain a
local party custom, which has proven
mighty good one, or to break this
custom and set a new precedent; and
this, once established, who can say
where it will end? If the bars are
thrown down, and the party sanctions
third term policy, what is to hinder
the granting Of fourth or even g
fifth term of office?
This is question which each and
every voter should seriously consider,
because upon its answer hinges the
life of the party organization.
The very name Democracy is pro-
test against long and continued tenure
of executive Office.
