ORPHANS RIGHT AT HAND.

FAIRMoNT, ". Va, May 31.-[Edi-
tor The West Virginian. " ! saw
the twenty homeless kiddies now IN
charge OF the Salvation Army on their
tour Of church and Sunday schools
yesterday the thought struck me that
II was foolish for Fairmont societies
and organizations to adopt" orphans
in Paris or Armenia when there were
so many here at home. And the nice
part Of adopting" homeless children
here is that one can keep track Of
them, talk to them, mark them (o
their clothes). 1t would easily be pos
sible for an orphan" in Paris to be
adopted" by half a dozen different or
ganizations, or a hundred Of them.
The letter written to one might be du.
plicated to the others. Here a society
could have an orphan for Its onliest
own. 81 +.

A sixteen year old son of that rich Mrs Leeds who
recently married a prince of the Greek royal family ran
into a taxi in London the other day while operating a
high uowered automobile and promptly lost his license
for six months because the authorities decided that a
fine would not mean anything to him. Pennsylvania
and perhaps other states, have provisions in their auto
licensing laws which make it possible for the author'
tics TO lift a license il the licensee does not know how 70
behave himself, but there would be better road manners
all around if this London example were generally tot
lowed.

jumped the reservation to vote for
Montgomery into account It Is plain
that pretty nearly all the radicalism
in this state wears the Democratic
label.
And II it gets a good start it practi
cally will wipe the Democratic party
out OF existence in this state.
Speaking Of politics.
Which, OF course. no one is just now
It is interesting TO observe how the
suffrage issue worked out In the pr
maries.
Frinstance-
The bright young Napoleon Of poll
tics who insisted upon mixing up, the
suffrage issue with the Republican
contest for the gubernatorial nonlina'
ton seems to have landed on the Junk
heap with a great splatter.
While the folks who were sure the
interest Houston Young took In the
suffrage side Of the special session
row would kill him politically seem
10 have another guess coming.
In these days these Is danger In
being too darned polite.
In politics as in love the guy with
dash frequently runs Of with the prize
which all the rules Of the game say
belong to the other fellow.
And no man yet won a campaign
with strategy built upon election sta
tistics four years old.
Since the primaries the Astonishel
has discovered a Republican ring"
Does that show journalistic enter,
prise, or just a change Of heart!
