MATER STREET

FAIR MONT, Aug. 16-( Editor.
The West Virginian)-As one of
the olderaresidents of Fairmont
feel thatI am compelled to call to
account an especially miserable
statement published in the Fair
mont Times .WednesdG morning.
about the attitude of Reputable
older residents regarding Water
street Such a statement cannot
go unchalleng ed.
would like for S. E. NJ. to
produce the names Of the reput-
able older residents who say,
Water street is taking on unnec-
essary publicity at this time in
view of the fact that this street
has always existed-that twenty
years ago there was a Water street
of the same unsavory reputation,
and that such street exists al
ways, Inevitably, il every city
What reputable older citizen will
back such a. statement as that? It
is an unen durable insult to the
moral, decent, uprightness exem-
plified in the ranks of the older
citizens of Fairmont. Shame on
such statement!
Was Water street, twenty years
ago, the same as it has teen the
past year? Must Fairmont always,
and inevitably, support such
street? Heaven help Fairmont, If
this SNUG, unworthy, dep1orable
idea is set forth by her reputable
older residents-which, of course.

Berton Braley's Poem

The worlds an Interesting place
No matter where you go,
And though I've roamed about It's
face
And wandered to and fro,
I'm always game to sail again
To seek some other, shore;
I've only seen bit Of 1t
And. till I'm wholly quit of 1t,
I4swantEto see some more!
Two billion people. more or less,
Are living on this sphere.
Seeking their share of happiness
In ways both sane and queer
And all of them are different.
With different thoughts and
lore,
oh, there is such a slew or them,
I only know a few Of them;
I want to. know some SoW
So T shall wan der,5 while can,
About the globes expanse,
And try tolearn the heart OF man,
His dreams and his romance;
But mostly I shall rove about, :
AS I have done before,
Because, when once you start 70
go,
The levers in your heart to 60
And go-and go some more!
