Robbie, for his misdeeds, was
about to get a thrashing. He left his

Kneeling down beside his bed and
with hands clasped, he offered up the

little children as they say You are,
now's your chance"

The Cop

No, children, you don't have to
walk on your tiptoes to keep from
waking it up. The differences be-
tween a cop and a bear is that the
bear sleeps in winter but the COP
sleeps the four seasons through.
Before it becomes a cop the CO.
coon has to pass a rigid physical eX-
animation. 1t has to be perfect in
every way. except in eyesight, hear
ing and running.
The cop is never around when lit
tie things like a murder, holdup OF
a fight occur, but when something
terrible happens, like a couple of
newsbOys matching pennies, he's
right there like clam soup.
The next time there's a parade
study the cop and see how his chest
sticks out as he struts up and down
the street keeping the masses on the
sidewalk. Never answer back a cop
or try to explain something to him
when he nabs you, because no mat
ter how right you are, you're wrong

world series games. To a certain extent that

" Ameriec First and America Efficient
TARIFF FOR "HoME PRODUCTION"

DUPLICATION of the details of the financial
side Of the Greater Fairmont project indicates
that it starts out with ample backing of real
money, and that even from conservative view
point the Greater Farmont Investment company is
a promising undertaking.
Of the 100000 in the two classes of preferred
stock $450,O00 has already been placed and $780,
600 has been covered into the treasury for future
requirements in the way of development 1t is stat
ed that the land, already under option, which will
be needed will cost about $475OOO, so that with the
sale Of the $15o000 worth of preferred stock that
has been offered to the public there will be about
$4,000 in actual cash in addition to the 100000
debenture preferred stock for working capital.
This is more than safe margin for such an un-
dertaking, but much more important anchor to
windward is the stake which the general public is
going to have, and which will make the whole town
boosters for the success of the undertaking. The
least Of this stake is the $4,000 worth of pre-
ferred stock, together with the bonus in common
stock. The real interest of the people of Fairmont
will be in enhanced values of property all over
town, more business in the stores and the many adj
ditional opportunities which will come with larger
population and increased payroll disbursements.
As a cold matter of fact business proposition
Greater Fairmont appears to be sure thing

PUBLIC OPINION RULES.

z VERY great movement attracts radicals
L of all sorts. The more important the move
ment and the greater the party which is organ
lied to support it the larger the train of camp fol-
lowers. If when the Republican party was formed
all the radicals had been driven off Lincoln would
not have been elected and lot Of things that have
happened since as more or less direct result of
his election would not have happened when they
did.
These reflections have bearing upon letter to
The West Virginian from Col. Waitman H. Coma
way, which is printed in another column. lot Of
women are supporting equal suffrage whose theo-
ries and writings not approved by the recognize
ed and accredited leaders ofthe suffrage cause but
that is no reason why these leaders should drop the
important work on which they are engaged to drive
off the radicals.
Col. Conway quotes President Ccvelands great
secretary of state as saying that public opinion
rules in a country like ours. Mr.. Olney when he
said that permitted himself to indulge in banality,
something he rarely was guilty Of OF course pub.
lie opinion rules in this country. 1t rules in all
countries. And as long as this is the case there
is not much danger that the ladies' who talk about
free love and the other things that alarm the Colo
mel so much will ever succeed in running off with
this nation of 1000O0000 or more people and com.
uniting it to things that people since history
began to be written have sanctioned
The conspicuous weakness in the Anti.suffrage
party is that it takes itself too seriously.

AN ANNIVERSARY.

% NE week ago tonight the Wilson Club banner
" went up for the second time after the munich.
pal government of Fairmont had been sand
bagged by the Democratic gang into changing the
city ordinances so that it could be flung to the
breeze under the nominal protection of the law
1t probably pleased some OF the hot headed men,
bers of the club from whose windows end of the
banner flies to thus demonstrate that the Democrat.
ic gang can do anything it peases in this town, fly
campaign banners as well protect bootleggers and
other law breakers. but it may be doubted that it
has served any useful purpose.
I Unless we have totally mistaken the temper of
the voters of Fairmont it has cost the Democatic
party many votes for their local candidates. and if
the banner continues to fly until the end of the cam
paign it may cost sufficient number to make the
exhibition of insolence costly piece of politics
AS we have said before this is essentially local
question By simply voting against the local candi-
dates of the Democratic party the decent citizens of
this city can without in the least affecting their
position on the state and national tickets DEM
onstrate in a manner that even the Democratic
gang can understand that they do not propose to
stand for that sort of lawcssness.
