EBB OF THE TIDE

HERE has been much comment In the English
l press upon the sale OF the famous painting by
Gainsborough, THE Blue Boy" which portrait took
its departure for America short time ago.
Letters of protest and mourning have been received
by the English newspapers and all kinds OF
propositions made to prevent the grasping hand Of
the American millionaire from removing from
European galleries their treasured pictures.
This is ono OF the fortunes OF war and curious
repetition OF war followsup. Tho newspapers of
England do not hesitate to remind their public that
great numbers Of the riches In English collections,
both in private and public galleries were there by
right OF conquest and that hundreds OF other
treasures were there because English power and
English might had carried prosperity to the English
banner and filled the Golfers of that country with
wealth enough to buy from other nations, impoyer-
ished. needy and unfortunate. '
The press reflects phtIosophlcally that England
must, In the eternal round OF human events take
her turn and that the people can expect to see
congregate In America the finest examples of art,
the most rarc of antiques, the most valuable
products of skilled craftsmanship; as one paper
resigncdy puts it, "headlong emigration OF 'DIue
Boys" and Shakespeare First Folos TO Golden
West, much more golden, relatively to other quar-
tiers of the compass than ever before The inclined
plane down which so many Rembrandts and
Raphaels. Elgin Marbles and Della Robba reIiefs
slid gently into England has taken fresh tilt and
not only our foreign taktngs but much OF the best
work of our British Reynoldses and Gansboroughs
is sure to westward in obedience to the newly
established gradient"

therelwtll come time when no filtration plant can
cope with conditions, and no Lawful and safe
hmountSof chlorine can suffice to make the water
safe. Then the city, will no doubt be compelled
to seek one Of the pure mountain supplies OF water
to establish Its Intake.
This is taking peep into the future, and
showing to the public the future in store for
FaIrmont, and the people can bank upon its being
no exaggeration. However the filtration system
now contemplated will take care of the needs Of
the city for several years to. come, and us the
number Of residents increase II will be possible to
place additional units with but little additional
expense and there will be no moro trouble with the
water until Fairmont becomes great city and her
smokestacks rise like forest. Perhaps then,
there will be more money and the city will NOT
mind going fifty. or even hundred miles to
establish an intake.

FORWARD STEP FOR UNION DISTRICT

MON District steps into line with It's good
road program. an act that will be heartily
applaudeds by the rest of the county. bond issue
Of 900 will be required to carry out the i'm.
proyements contemplated, and the people of the
district will be called upon to express their senti
ments regardingthe issue on the date Of April 18th
When the bond election will be held.
Gnton District has been working upon this
program for a good while and the proposition is
one that the people have thoroughly discussed and
approved. tits likely that the vote upon the issue
VIII large one for those living in the district
WIN want TO make sure that the good roads will
come without fall to Union. With this issue
settled there will DO but one district which has not
vet declared good roads program. and that is
Winfield: Some action will probably be taken
shortly by the Winfield people who will not want
70 lag behind in the county improvements
The action Of the Union District residents in
planning such comprehensive program is great
work, and 1t will hardly be possible TO estimate the
good which the Improvement VIII mean to those
living In the district both n convenience and
eonatortSin travel, and in giving greater value to
their property, which will be In demand when made
acsesstble regardless of weather conditions Tho
scope Of the improvement planned is certainly
Testimonial to the ambition and progressiveness of
hssresldents, and when the roads arc completed
this district will take It's place among other
improved districts as Of the best in the county

A Rainy Night
What a horrible evening,

What horrible evening.
That was the general verdict
last night as folk looked out their
windows at homo and saw the
rain coming down In torrents. And
It was a mean night IL one was
forced to go out; but what a glor-
ious evening to spend at home.
We love rainy evening. On
such night we enjoy to pull up
a big chair by the fire and get all
comfy in 1t same as the proverbtal
bug ina rug. How nice 1t is to
get a good book and read, read,
read. occasionally taking time out
to listen to the patter OF the rain
drops on the roof.
Last night we took advantage
OF the favorable weather condi-
tons to spend q couple of hours
going over. q volume OF Abraham
Lincoln's writings. The greater
part OF the volume Is devoted to

Sideliights
An Opportunity

Sh opportunity
A few days ago local branch
of The West Virginia Wild Life
League was formed. The object
Of the state organization Is to pro-
tect game throughout the state
through vigorous campaign for
the observance Of the game laws
and also the protection of the
birds.
An opportunity is afforded the
local branch OF the league to do
some real good work by fostering
the study Of bird life among the
school children Of the city, a
movement along this limo having
been under way here for some
time, we understand.
We do not think there are
many people in FaIrmont who
trap birds or kill birds. II any at
all, they should be ashamed and
hang their head when they face
real citizens OF tho community.
Our birds are priceless to us;
Fairmont needs them and Fair.
none people should see that they
are protected.
One sure way to make the
future safe for birds Is to get the
younger generation interested In
the study OF the principles OF the
Wild Life league; to bring to
them an understanding of the
situation; to get them to cultivate
the friendship Of the birds and to
make them their pets. The few
hard.bolled eggs who WIN not
listen to reason win soon die of,

WOMEN ARE INTERESTED

HE appearance OF the names OF many women
among the election officials who will serve in
the two bond issue elections now proposed for
March 2Sth and for April 18th, brings before the
people the fact that the women are going to be
very much interested in both propositions now
contemplated, and that they will largely express
their convictions in the elections when the time
arrives
Certainly the women of Union District will be
interested in having improved roads in that
district and there is possible doubt but that the
women Of Fairmont are probably without exception
backing the new filtration plant with all energy
IL Isl hardly to be expected that .Fairmont
women would feel any other than absolutely In
accord with the bond issue for the filtration plant,
FORA clear, pure water supply in the house means
more to- the housekeeper than to any one else in
