CHA.VCE FOB GOOD WORK.
THERE seems to he a'lot of enthusiasm about
a good live Automobile Club for Fairmont,
and Paul Lehmen bought an Instilling message to
the local organization het-e lastyeek. The mem
bership campaign now contemplated ought to be
pushed rigorously and erery persdu' owning a car
ought t? belong. ,
When the membership* campaign Is completed
and there is a good strong organization effected,
the club ought; to' make 1t its first business to re
gard, and to.as'sUt.ih enforcing, traffic regulations.
Fairmont will have few accidents If the Automo
bile Club "looks after -this properly. The club
should lead in careful drlring, In proper regard for
signals, in use of the claxon. and in moderation of
I speed. The club should take pride In setting the
example for other drlrers.
There were too many Injured persons carried to
| the hospital in this city last summer, too many
persons, suffered bruises, minor Injuries, and tffed.
frights, from reckless drlring and carelessness.
The city ought to have a cleaner slate this Bummer,
and no one1 can help so much as the Automobile
Club, If its membership determine to put a check
upon themselves and upon others.
BRAXD NEW- REFORM TARTY
MODERN life has produced one brand new
thing and that is the male reform society.
It tised to be the women and girls who organised to
reform certain erlls, most especially men. But now
the feminine Interest has relegated reform to the
attic and, having cut loose from hampering and
irksome conventions, is sailing along with a dash
that is disconcerting to the masculine mind accus
tomed to attend to the sailing business-with little
competition.
Sauce for the goose Is highly spiced nowadays,
and for the average man a very little spice In his
own domestic program' is a great'plenty. Hence
the reform societies organized-by young men. New
Mexico produced the latest one, In which 'fifty
young ?men- ^are formed a combination for the
elimination of the flapper. It is to be hoped that
these young men^ will extend their attention to
the male correspondant of the flapper, now charac
terized by Xew York newspapers as the "flipper."
If the organization numbers anr "flippers" among
Its' membership they sliould also be promptly ex
tinguished.
A reform needa to work both ways to be success
ful^ If the young; men from New Mexico could
make .^fieir organisation ah international one, a
disgusted and weary wor;id Ijj^Sld probably erect
a monument to Ihem If they earnestly pursued
i their reform to a triumphant end. A glad adieu
i would be extended any time to the "flapper
I flipper" combination.
The West Virginia Dental Society opens its con
vention today in the Masonic Temple, Dentists
from all over the state are assembled in the city
and the program of the couventlca indicate!) the
best state meeting ever held by the society. Fair
mont Js glad to welcome the large numbers of visit
ors who are in attendance, and hopes they will bear
away with them not only much benefit from their
convention, but pleasant remembrance of the city
that-Is so glad to entortain them, and so anxious
that they find Fairmont just a little bit better than,
any other city In West Virginia.
Tomorrow will offer a strenuous city program.
With a large part of the East Slcte conducting one
of the .warmest district elections ever held, with
the Monongahela Valley Association meeting here
and most distinguished visitors In attendance, with
the West Virginia Dental Society holding their
state convention, it will surely be a f|ne large day.
Fairmont will be equal to it howevir, the more
the merrier, is the general sentiment of this com
munity.

Our children use them when thiy
go to schools, the family uses them
when they go to church, movie

others use them in going to and
from their business. After being
in contact with these improve
ments nearly everyday, could any
of us truthfully say that they are
not worth all the energies thai
were put forth to make them pos
sible, of course not, you that have
lived in Marion County before the
first hard road or street was layed,
have you noticed the vast improve
ments that followed. * Have you
noticed how bigger and better
school buildings were built, like
wise bigger and better homes.
From these past experiences we
have ample evidence that paved
highways not only make , but J
actually accelerate progress in.

Good roads are now being plannea \
and built in. every part of thei
world, and nothing but a selfish I

that these improvements will cost

IMPROVED ROADS
Fairmont. April 10.?(Editor,
The West Virginian)-?Permit me!
through your columns to say a
word to the voters of Union Dis
trict on the bond issue that /e~!\e
called upon to cast our ballots to
morrow.
There is no question in my mind
but what our neople want improve
ments. and will vote for good roads
with an overwhelming majority if
they' understand ttie proposition.
In the first place it is requiring
about all the money the city hab
to spend on our side of tlys river,
to maintain the main thorough
fares for the constantly increasing
traffic. The city i8 obliged to keep
up these streets In as good shape
as possible, leading from the end
of the new bridge to the Winfield
District line and to the corporate
limits.on the Grafton and Benton's
Ferr/roads. To do this, other
streets will necessarily have to be<
neglected. A great many of our
streets are practically impossible
for modern traffic now.
The city cannot require tbcf |
property holder along the streets
proposed to be improved, to assist
In repaying them, because they
have been paved and it, has been
the city and general public that has
gotten the streets into their ter
rible condition and not the abut
ting property holder.
In the second place, this bond
Issue is a Union District proposi
tion. Does it not appear reason
able that when the district paves
all the streets designated, that
all the money-the city has been
spending and will have to continue
to spend on these thoroughfares,
can be transferred and expended
on all the other stroets of East
Side.
Much has been said about the;
brick that is to be tak^n up. The
County Court will turn all the!
brick over to the city, and the city
will donate them for the improve-j
ments of the other streets on the
East Side. ? 'There is something
[over two- miles of these streets,;
varying'In width, and I am sure I
there will be enough stroets con
form to the requirements of the
city to take all the brick. I do not
belieye^that a wagon load of old
brick was wasted on the west side
when "they paved their streets. I
also understand that thejjrick will
be delivered to the street receiving
them* as this item has been con
sidered in the cost of excavation.
? The question of taxes I do not
take seriously. I am a taxpayer on
both sides of the" river. I think the
