BRING 1T TO FAIRMoNT.

"WEDNESDAY and Thursday of this week the
w Knights of Pythias of West Virginia will hold
their annual convention in Huntington. This is
one OF the most important Of the annual lodge events held
in this state and steps should be taken to bring the gather
ing of 1917 to Faimont.
The Pythian lodges in this section of the state are all
active and prosperous organizations. They would be benc-
fitted by the stimulus which bringing the state bodies to
Fairmont would be productive of. and they doubtless
would help in swinging the movement.
No better opportunity could be offered for The start Of
an effort to bring all of the state bodies in West Virginia
to Fairmont in turn. Go to it, Pylhians. The citizens will
arrive here.

w eenty Of the various organizations which are main

more useful purposes.
The Wholesale condemnation Of the National guard is
q case q pont. That, to say the. least, is premature. It
may be demonstrated in time that the guard is not what
the nation needs for a second line of defense, but it Is a
fact that Il has not been demonstrated yet. Indeed the
outstanding feature of the situation is that under service
conditions plus the tutalage of regular army officers
he guardsmen now on the Mexican border are becoming
excellent soldiers, almost if not quite the equal of the regl.
lars. After some more wedding is done the military critics
at least are apt to say they will do quite as we'll as The
regulars for any service the republic is likely to call upon
them TODD.
Another exhibition Of the foolhhnes for which the 50
called defense societies are responsible is the straight out
demand for universal. obligatory military service. There

The Democratic press seems to derive a great deal
OF pleasure from publishing the names of Mcdowell and
Mingo county citizens who have been indicted for Of
lenses against the election laws. It would delight the
citizens OF Marion county much more to see in print the
names of Democrats of this county who should be in
dicted for similar offenses. The list would be long. hut
because of some of the names that would be on It, ii

numerous Democratic press agents seized upon it and
