An English clergyman recently was instrumental in furnishing an evil dence of tho persistency of the primi. live in modern man. For the amuse- ment of his parishioners. and for the purpose of bringing to light any undis. covered genus which might be lying dormant among them, he instituted a competition in wood carving, selecting such subjects as man on horseback. walking. blowing and performing sim. pie and common actions. The results were Startling. In practically every instance they bore striking resemb. lance to the efforts of our ancient and prehistoric forebears.

What to do when confronted with lion is not a problem that would have puzzled the editor of one Of the earll- est newspapers published in South Af- rica. Asked by some inexperienced tor imaginary correspondent for in- formation about the best way to get pood bag of lions in the Kalahars desert," he crisply replied in an edi- torial note: "The Kalahari desert ia principally composed of sand and lions. First you sift out all the sand with a big sieve. Then the lions will remain. These you place in bag which is carried for the purpose.

A Maori woman who gave evidence at a Stratford, New Zealand, inquest showed a. degree of suitability some. what rare in the witness box. When she faced the jury, she made a remark, which, on being interpreted, was found to be a wish that health, wealth and prosperity might ever abide with the jury individually and collectively. After finishing her evidence she again voiced the wish before leaving the box.

THE STOCK ARGUMENT.

One of the stock criticisms of the
Times against the West virsinian is
that it is afraid that we will hurt
business. 1t says that some Repub.
licans are notain favor OF criticising
the action of the Democratic officials
en- this account. The West yirginian
is not standing alone in this particu.
lar. 1t knows the sentiment of the
leading Republicans as we'll as the
rank and file Of all parties and they
are opposed TO the things that this
paper criticises. We challenge the
Times. or anybody else, to show that
the West yirginian or the Republic
cans of the county are any less loyal
TO the community than 1t, or its Dem.
ocratic following. The Times did not
hesitate 10 criticise the Republican
of the past in this
city and county but it would now
deny the West virginian this priv
ilcge.
7 1t is because the Republicans and
the. West yirginian, are loyal to Fair

cannot say.as to theseistatements but
our prediction is that when the
boards of education and the court
get their estimate made up that the
tax will be much higher than last
year after allowing for increase In
the state tax. Why not wait until
these figures are made public TO draw
conclusions?

FAIR PLAY.

Congressman Nicely, while on re-
cent visit to Falrmont, stated to THE
editor Of the West yirginian that he
appreciated the fair dealings of the
paper in his campaigns. while you
have, always made hard fights
against me-" he stated, "you have
been on the square and have never
hit below the belt"
We expect to, wage another cam
paign against the Major this fall
and hold, him strictly accountable for
the Democratic record and the prom
Use of his party to lower the cost of
living by reduction In the tariff,
and while we believe our position
against him has been very material
" strengthened since his. last cam
paign, We hope to make this -opposl.
ton upon principles and not against
him personally so that when he
again returns to Fairmont to prae=
.tice his profession carly next year he
