the herald of the person who has
terrified the city-a person SO far
unknown to the police.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 21.-
West Virginia Republicans 60 into
the 1916 campaign with ten of the If.
teen state senatorial holdovers. That
is quite an advantage. In the Tenth
and Fifthteenth districts the Demo.
Gratis are sure to gain two more mem.
bers OF the>upper house. The Republi.
cans have sCch wide margins to go
on that they will probably elect
senator from each OF the following dis.
tricts: First, Fourth, Sixth, Twelfth
and Fourteeth. They have chance
also to win in any or all Of the follow.
Ing districts: Second, Third, Fifth,
Seventh and Eighth. Democracy has
chance to win in the Ninth. Eleventh
and Thirteenth districts, the breaks
being even as between the major par.
ties.
West Virginia is normally Repub.
lican by at least 10000. Majorities
have been cut down considerably
through past internal differences with
which the party has had to contend,
but now, according to the wiseacres
and the students of the peculiar BRAND
OF politics indigenous to West Vir.
ginia, there Is little to fear from any
inside disarrangements.
It is an uphill fight for the Demo.
Gratis to win under any circumstances
in the state. by their own endeavor.
Their whole hope rests in dissension
within the ranks of the opposition.
and that is condition, with which
the Republicans say they will not con.
tend this fall, although 1t is a fact
that there are some who have voted
the Republican ticket in recent years
who declare they are not with the tick.

Rev. DR.. Mitchell breaches
Sermon Upon New Com
munity Effort.

At the evening service OF the Cen.
tral Christian church yesterday nev.
DIR, Clarence D. Mitchell, the pastor.
speaking on the subject Of Some Es-
sentials in Making Fairmont More
Than $4,000 In Five Years." took
very optimistic view oil tnis task which
the tTairmont Improvement Assocla.
ton has set for itself, but he indicated
plainly that success depends upon the
people.
DR.. Mitchell pointed out that Fair.
mont lies in the district upon which
Europe must draw largely for the ma
terials used in the reconstruction
which will follow the war. 1t is to the
same district, also that the whole
world must turn when the great for.
ward stride which business and build.
ing will take everywhere when com.
merce and industry return to normal.

ties and the other material essentials
Fairmont is favored beyond most 9th.
er cities In the district. and 1t is bound
to go ahead OF these cities In popula.
ton and industries-if the people dis.
play the proper spirit.
The development Of the Ohio city
Lima was cited as an example of what
may be done when there Is the proper
community cooperation. This town
at the beginning lacked many OF the
advantages that Fairmont already has,
but 1t had an abundance of ambition,
civic pride, willingness 10 cooperate
and the capacity to show sincere ap.
probation for good work done. The
net result OF this happy combination,
DR.. Mitchell said, Is that Lima has be.
come one Of the most delightful, as
well as one Of the most important cit.
les in the Buckeye state.
What has been done in one place,
said DR.. Mitchell, can be done In an.
other. 1t can be done here under IA.
vorable conditions, but it cannot be
done If the people are grouches; IL
they are jealous Of one another and
show disposition to undermine eff
forts Of others which they do not, for
some trifling reason, approve Of.
