FACING THE FUTURE.

YESTERDAYS charter election resulted IN accord
with andcipations. The opposition made gal
liant fight, but majority of the people realized
that every obstruction to the future progress of this city
should be removed and they voted for the new charter.
1t should be realized, however, that the ratification Of
the charter solves not of the municipal problems The
only thing does is to give new platform upon which
may build new city structure, and the next duty is to
prepare for the election which is to be held IN August.
The whole movement for better conditions m Fairmont
will fail if erght kind of men are not put in Office and
it should be understood generally at the outset that while
the new charterxas set up upon the bipartisan principle,
there is nomgn it which dsfranchises third parties or

Happy Thoughts for vacationists:
No matter IL you have been
working at the office but three
weeks tell the boss you feel the
need for rest, and ask him when
you may have your sumer yea
ton. He will probably tell you
TO take it Immediately and stay
Indefinitely.
A good game to play while on
vacation Is making both ends
meet. This is done by first de-
Gliding on trip to San Francisco,
which costs $500. Start out with
S14, a bright red necktie and a
quart Of Extract de Jackson street
which latter you may carefully
manipulate until arriving in the
city jail at Wheeling. If you get
no farther you lose the game but
il you reach Cincinnati you may be
considered to have won the first
point.
Flirting with pretty girls is to
be recommended as a pleasant
summer vacation occupation. It
greatly assists in passing the time
and unless the husband or big
brother appears on the scene you
are likely to get off with no
greater damage than breach Of
promise suit.
