Tie West Virginian does not want
its readers to understand that It is
DESTROYS of inflicting any undue or
Unjust criticism upon the Board of

have made! their appointments. These
men call Christion gentlemen and

Point we make is that their idea OF
carrying out the provisions Of the

The West Nirginian supported or
tginally the non-partisan plan of
elections, believing that that would
take the city administration out Of
politics but the Democratic lobbyists
who went to Charleston against the
nonrpartisan bill said, mo, that is
only a scheme the Republicans have
matched up to gain control of the
city government" They said that
the bestswayr to take the administra-
ton out sof politics is to make an
Gwen division Of the offices between
tile two dominant parties, WHO repre-
sent possibly e0% of the voters and
taxable property of the city. In or
der to make peace in the municipal
~ their suggestions were finally re-
inctantly accepted as a compromise

hopes were, however, dispelled be-

Tempered With Town Clock.

Marcellus MCGOWAN, the keeper, has
solved the town clock mystery at Kins-
ton, N C. McGowen alleges malice,
but whatever the motive, 1t is certain
that when he clambered into the tower
of che court house to learn what was
causing his big, bright pet with the
gilded hands to strike the hours on
the half hours and sometimes strike
several hours at once, he found part
of the mechanism apparently purpose
ly clogged. Certain ROSTERS in the
hearing of the bells melodiuus tones
had the habit Of giving their reveille
with its chimes In the early hours, but
it is said the perplexed chandeliers be-
came as erratio as the clock. At the
time McGowen was away at militia
camp, where he didn't have to bother
about the time of day at all.
Marcellus McGowen made the fol
lowing public statement, rather brief.

BY the finale Of the proclamation 1t
would seem that McGowen and the
clock are one in person, as they really
are in spirit. Now he would like to
know what possessed the malefactoT
to nut the timber under the weight to
stop the clock.

a closed landau was provided, and the
car, accompanied by one attendant,
stepped in and drove of without an
escort. Arrived at Luxembourg the at

make sure that a certain official was
there to receive the imperial visitor.
The car, left alone in the carriage,
looked out of the open window at a
ragged boy playing on the curb. Their
eyes met and the youngster stared
hard He had never seen the czar,
but he had seen his photograph, and
the likeness to this foreign-looking
