BOTH DEFEAT
AND a VICTORY

The defeat of the woman's suff-
rage amendment in New Jersey by a
100000 majority is complete sub
sanitation of the assertion that the
American voter casts his ballot ac-
cording to his beliefs and not &C
cording to the wishes of President,
or to men OF popularity and influence
in his state. The suffragists were op-
timistic concerning the result in the
New Jersey election because Presi-
dent Wilson, formerly governor of
New Jersey, President Hibben of
Princeton and several other influen-
tial men of the state had declared
themselves in favor of suffrage. Not
only did the state vote decisively
against suffrage but President Will
sons own precinct at Princeton voted
against 1t by to l majority
While we favor suffrage we do not
care to see | victorious in any state
II voter casts his ballot for it SIM
ply because the President OF the
United States or governor of his
state favors it. The success of a
democracy lies in the conscientious
expression of opinion thru the ballot
by individual voters. If citizens of a
democracy voted sentimentally in
stead of thoughtfully the time would
not be far distant when democracy
would be turned into oligarchy. AL
tho we may regret the defeat of suff-
rage in New Jersey the decisive ma
jority against 1t should impress upon
us the fact that as long as American
citizens vote as they believe we need
have no fear of the correct solution

CASE AGAINST GORDON
FOR AUTO THEFT DISMISSED

The case against H. w. Gordon,
who so unceremoniously borrowed"
car belonging to A. II. Goudy last
week, without the knowledge of the
latter, has been dismissed. Gordon
took the case up with Commissioner
Gates who referred the matter to the
board of commissioners, and after
both sides had stated their story it
was recommended to the district at
torney that the case be dropped at the
expense of Gordon, owing to the fact
that there was some doubt as to con-
viction on the charges because the
night watchman at the garage al
lowed Gordon to take the car out.
Gordon paid the court costs and paid
Goudy for the use of the car and the
case was settled

Oldest church in Weston owned by the
Baptist congregation, is to be torn
down, removing one Of the religious
landmarks OF the central part OF the
State. The building was erected by
the Episcopalians in 1s4S, the first
church TO be built in this town. The
building was Of frame, and Is practic-
ally the same today as It was when
put up. Twenty years ago the Episco-
palian congregation purchased ground
and erected a new. church, selling the
old church and grounds to the Bap.
lists, who are now preparing to build
handsome new church. When the
old structure was built Weston had
only $50 residents. ( On the site where
1t stands j. c. Chidester will erect a

with the one Of the day before

by mistake. The matter refer.

lished. This will give the
mayor time to catch up with
his criticism. He has been
working two days behind tho
West Yirginian's publications,
and we trust that from now on
we will be working in double
harness II we do not always
pull together. The mayor is
finding SO little these days,
however, to criticise In the pro.
visions OF the charter. that
there is a vague and remote
possibility that we will yet get
together on the charter as the
many good things yet to come
are unfolded.
We must insist that the
mayor Is not showing the fair:
ness he usually displays in re.
fnsing toItell the readers OF the
Times that the amendment he
so severely criticised, by which
three additional names are
added to the ticket after the
primary Is over, is the amend.
rnent put in the bfll by Sena.
tor Lowe and was not provided
by the charter commission nor
supported by any OF them.
Hewill also meet the require,
ments Of fairness by stating
that he was wrong, as the old
charter plainly shows, when he
says vacancies can be better
and quicker filled by the old
charter than by the new one,
when Just. exactly the opposite
is the fact.
The sections OF the charter
published today are varied but
: not Of such a nature as to raise
any controversy over their pro.
visions. infthe main they are
the same as the old charter.
This applies to the long sec.
tions on licenses, nuisances
and side walks and shade
trees. No change being made
in any Of these sections from
