The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1914-09-07
THE MOST pEsPICABLE OFFENsT

There is no election offense so de-
spicable as that of trying to dis
franchise, by wholesale, the good cit
! izcns of community. The little par
tiSan Democratic ring of this city
have done this very successfully in
Fairmont and we have so-called by
partisan city government, with a
hypocritical pretense of its being
nom partisan, and it Is no wonder
that we do not have harmony and
THAT cordial support is not Civ
en- the city commissioners
Those who have the inter.
lest of our great and growing
city at heart. those who want to see
l'airmont grow and prosper, those
who stand for fair deal, honest
elections and the enfranchisemnt Of
its legal voters do not approve of this
ncfariou" scheme and Fairmont will
never enter upon that stage of civic
growth she should enjoy, until this
partisan tyranny is wiped off the map
Of Greater Fairmont.
The West Virginian is as loyal to
Fairmont as any other business in
stitution and will do as much as any
other business concern to promote
the growth OF the city, and Away:
has done this, but it cannot close Its
eyes to the fact that its best citizens
have been practically disfranchisef
and have no voice whatever in thf
iCity's public affairs. The West Vir
ginian knows that it cannot prosper
land grow unless the city does. II
KNOWS that the citizens cannot put
the civic welfare until this blot i:
obliterated, and we appeal to those
who have, for the sake of petty office
and the cmolumcnts thereof, placed
the lcaden hand Of discord upon the
| fair brow of one of the greatest lit
tie cities to be found anywhere upon
1.-THE face OF the globe, to ponder these
7 conditions. 1t is not the
little politicians who are to be
blamed for this state of affairs. but
those who control them, and those
whose large business interests woulc

1t is q crime against the good name
of the community to cause its Loyal
citizens to be constantly ad-
ycrtising the short-sighted policy OF
those in power. by airing local mat.
tors in the highest legal tribunal OF
the state. If those who are respon-
sible for these conditions do not stop
making such procedure necessary We
believe the honest voters of the com
munity will rise in their might =
sweep them from positions of power
God speed the day when Fairmont
and Marion county will not be best
known to strangers for its corrup
politics, its petty scrambles for little
offices, and fragrant attempts Il
nullify the will Of the voters b!
crooked work on the inside of elec
,tiOn rooms.

THE CABELL CASE.

In Cabell county the Republicans
will have the registrars although
they did not have 1918 election to
qualify the Republican party as one
of the dominant parties. The Cabell
Republicans based their contention
on the ground that the Progressive
party was not legally. constituted
political organization in 1912 and
the Supreme Court so decided.

Z HUNTINGTON = Tie county
court has decided to work twenty
prisoners of the county on the roads
beginning ut once. The sheriff has
been instructed to provide suitable

be placed at work as soon as the
arrangements can be completed.

REPRESENTATION ASSURED.

The granting of the mandamus
compelling the partisan county court
to comply with the law in the ap-
pointment of registrars will insure
the Republicans that they will have
representation on the election boards
this fall. That will go a long way
towards securing a fair election and
u fair count.

AMMAN CHARGED
 WITH GOLD THEf I

Charles Johnson. of the firm of Johnson Brothers * Johnson. which has been in trouble for the last week on account Of is failure to pay for labor and provisions used ill miainz on 22 Gela=ream Was arrested Friday on a charge of hay inE embedded 22 ounces of gold dust beloneiug to Freeman and Larson, two of the owners of the claim.
 After Johnson was released on bal amounting to $500. he e> riatned that the charge is wrona and He insisted that t will all he explained at his hearing that will ba held in Commissioner DIl0n's court tomorrow.
 The claim, 9 GoldsIeam. is own ed by Val Diebold and Freeman G Larson. The laymen have been unable to meet all the claims for wages and provisions due, and early in the week the laborer= threatened trouble as a result.
 Charles Johnson. who has been the business manager for the lay men, succeeded in satisfying the merchants here that he was not in 2 position to pay them. and at last the laborers gave up their efforts to ee the money due them for work. Johnson produced checks to show that practically all the money taken ont of the claim had been paid out. and the only complaint on the part of the laborers was that he paid himself $700 out of the last clean up to satisfy d claim for money he had personally advanced the com paHy. instead of using the money to meet their demands
 The owners Of the claim or their representative were present at each cleanup. In each case AIr. Val Diebold received his full dues, but the dust that should go to Freeman and Larson was generally collected hy Herman ManEelson IL is charg- cd. in the criminal complaint against Johnson. that the latter had been entrusted with 22 ounces of gold dust from the claim. due Freeman & Larson as royalty, which was to be placed by Johnson in the bank in Fairbanks to the credit of the owners of the dust | is charged that instead of depositing the dust.

by TEMPLE MANNING.

In this country, where the problems
of transportation have been solved
down to the carrying of even the
smallest package across the continent
with speed and safety at cost OF but
a few cents, the difficulties that con-
front a Chlnaman living in the in
terior who desires to send his crop 20
a far away market cannot be appre-
ciated. Even today. when China has
more than 5000 miles Of railroads, the
transportation facilities in many parts
of the country are quite as primitive
as they were a thousand years ago.
1t Is no uncommon sight to see
long procession OF men arduously
pushing wheelharrows loaded down
with every sort OF produce along any
road in the interior. To the China
man, accustomed all hts life to this
slow method OF transporting his
wares to market, 1t is quite proper"
as the English say OF anything long
established; but to the American
farmer. who has only to load his grain
or potatoes on a motor truck and
draw IT to the railroad station, where
1t is loaded into freight cars and

coolies are now beginning to accept

economy is the sure foundation for all
virtues. Victor Hugo.
The boy is father to the man and
much can be made of him if taught
young enough. Many a successful
man says he got his start by saving
and that 1t was the early lessons OF
thrift at home that made him a saver.
Professor william A McKeever has
given a lot of time to the study and
investigation of methods of training
boys in this important particular. The
Kansas State Agricultural College has
published some of his conclusions in
the form of bulletins, from which the
following is an extract:
"It is often the case, especially
among farmers, that the growing boy
never sees any money OF his own ex-
cepting on rare occasions like Christ
mas and the Fourth Of July, and then
he regards his shining quarter as an
object of curiosity and scarcely knows
how TO spend it. Often, In case like
this, it Is found that the father is
looking upon his son as a kind Of in
vestment to be made as profitable as
possible. This boys time belongs to

for his board and clothes and winter
