FLEMING FOR CONGRESS.

~-oN Thomas ". Fleming announces, today in The
ri West Vtrgnian that he will be candidate for Con-
gress at the 1916 election. 1t has been runored
for some little time that Mr. Fleming would be in the
aed for this office from the First district 0Ue
his formal announcement was not made until today.
IN fact Mr. Fleming did not finally decide to become
candidate for the Office until recently although he mas
had the matter under consideration for some time.
Mr.. Fleming is a Of great ability. stalwart Re
publican, business OF large experience good
citizen and is fayorably known in this community and
the state Of West Virginia at large. Mr. Fleming was
chairman Of the Republican county committee from 1913
un 1885, and his work during that period entirely
satisfactory When he assumed the position OF county
eharmon the county from 700 to 500 Democratic but
nj the end Of his seceneen years Of service the CON-
rnittee the county was back in the Republican fold Mr.
Fleming was twice Mayor of the city OF Fairmon and
served one term in the house of delegates from this
county.
Mr. Fleming is confident like many others. that the
next election will bring sweeping Republican victory
locally and nationally. AS distributors of general dis
satisfaction the Democratic local and national admin
israons have been wonderfully successful and at the
next election the people going to show their appre
iation by swallowing up the Democrats in Republican
landslide.
Mr. Fleming has been lifelong Republican and
Arm believer in the principles Of the Republican party
including the protective tariff. Mr. Fleming believes
that the tariff at the next election will be bigger po
ical issue than 1t has been before owing TO Inc
fact that this country will again be thrown into compe
tion with cheap European labor at the close OF the
present war.
The Republicans may rest assured that if they send
Mr. Fleming to Congress that they will send man Of
integrity and ability, and who has high ideals; one
who viii serve his party his state and his country well

CHAUTAUQUA A SUCCESS.

ToNIGHT the 1915 Chautauqua comes to an end.
has been emnently successful in every respect and
\ has proven benefit to the community. The pro
sras offered at the daily sessions in the big tent have
been high class and well worth the admission price
BY means Of the Chautauqua the citizens Of Fatrmon
and the vicinity have been able to have week Of high
class and varied entertainment and Instruction at
minimum cost
The work of raising sufficient ticket pledges to guar
ntee the return of the Chautauqua next has been
started and there is every to believe that when
the meeting tonight close that the desired
number viii be on hand and that Fairmont will be sure
Of having the return engagement of the present company
next year.
The lectures which have been delivered during the
week by prominent speakers have without exception been
Of high caber and well worth hearing while the mus
teal entertainments have also been Of high standard
A ,Chautauqua like many other things. depends on
public approval for its failure If the Chau
taudua is not well received in town. It is not likely
that it will return the year. but it proves its
worth and the public is interested it should be brought

SOME INVENTION THIS.

TO those OF US who have had the misfortune to slip
on banana skin, the news that non-skid banana
L peel has been invented on the Burbank experiment
farm will be quite pleasing indeed. Outside of ninth
inning rally that falls short Of bringing victory
to the home team there is nothing that is quite so as
grayating to red.booded to have wee bit OF
an ofcast banana peel throw him about the public high
way in an ndiscrimnate manner.
The good word comes from San Francisco that the
Burbank experts have produced nonskd banana peel
by crossing the ordinary banana with the cactus pear
This makes the fruit have coat like sandpaper
and prevents the deadly effect when trod on by human
foot The new fruit may be trodden under foot OF man
with perfect safety.
1t is also said OF the banana that it has all the
taste and gives the same satisfaction the former
specie but that it may be dropped upon the sidewalk
without endangering those who may pass by.
This is certainly invention. Many great men
have fallen heavily for the banana, and they will be
pleased TO learn that the nonskid will soon be com
mon commodity. When the banana comes into com
mon use, there will be sale for the former kind.
If the Burbank experiment farm never produces an
other new variety OF fruit has least done one great
thing for humanity.
Safety first friends, down to fruit.

MEXICAN RuMoRs.

1t is a settled fact in the minds Of
washington correspondents that
something is to be done by the ad'
ministration within ten days or SO

man or group of men not involved in
the revolutionary movement, who Will
attempt to restore order to the repub'

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
"REAL FACTS" BY Proc. FLAMM.

Most German-Americans have hith'
erto talked of the Lusitania's Ghostiy
explosives as If they had been de-
stined, together with the cartridges, 10
destroy Germany's breadwinners. 1t
was admitted. of course, at the sug'
gestlon OF the imperial government,
that these hypothetical substances &C.
counted for the rapid sinking OF the
vessel. but the popular opinion was
that the explosives were originally in.
tended to be used against the bread
winners and that the Americans were
put on board with the explosives only
to make sure that they would be safe
ly delivered. Prof. Oswald Flamm,
the eminent naval constructor, has
hit on a much better theory. After
due reflection he has come 10 the
conclusion, not that the Americans
were procured to protect the eXplo-
sives, but that the explosives were
procured to blow up the Americans.
Il is a wonder that no one thought OF
this before.-N. Y. Tribune.
