GOVERNOR HAS PEN USED BY MONROE State, Executive Uses It to Sign Proclamation Calling for Enlistments. A pen which served President James Monroe on many an important occasion and which was his personal property was used by Governor John J. Cornwell last Saturday when he signed the proclamation calling a'l men between the ages of 21 and 30 to enroll for enlistment under the national colors on June 5. The pen used by the governor is a combination pen and pencil and was the property of President Monroe during his tenure of office from 1816 to 1824 and on which the former president's name is engaved. It is made of silver and is a pencil as well as a penholder. The price'ess pen has come down to Colonel Charles N. Simms from his ancestors. His grandfather was auditor of the treasury during the administration of President Monroe and once, when signing an official paper in the presence of the President Monroe loaned the auditor his pen and afterwards presented it to him as a gift. Celonei Simms appreciating the sentiment and importance to the state, of the proclamation signed by Governor Cornwell putting into effect the machinery he had created in this state to enroll the men liable to be called to the colors for national defense, asked the governor to use the ancestral gift and afterward gave him the pen of President Monroe. WILL ERECT FINER SCHOOL BUILDING Insurance Adjuster and Money Appropriated for New Preparatory School at Keyser. West Virginia will build a much larger and finer preparatory school building than the one destroyed by fire at Keyser, severa weeks ago. The insurance has been adjusted and the companies will pay $85,000 to sover a total loss, in addition to allowing the school the salvage from the fire. The state has decided to give $30,000 additional for the erection of the ew building for the West Virginia Preparatory School building and it is understood that the citizens of Keyser will give $1,500 towards placing a large clock in the tower of the building. As soon as the plans are ready and the contract can be awarded, work will be started on the building. Prof. Jos. W. Stayman, principal of the Preparatory school', has just returned from Charleston, and states that the school has also been awarded by the state $12,000 for establishing a farm and for agricultural purposes, and an additional $17,000 to be used in completing the dormitory. Tony Pannudi, who conducts the commissary store at the plant of the Pittsburgh Limestone Company, in the county, fell from a wagon Saturday evening and sustained a broken right arm. He was brought to this city and taken to the City hospital, where he was given medical aid. The arm was broken above the elbow. ```markdown ``` MARTINSBURG, This photograph, taken in the shelling of the cathedral in relic the city—the cathedral is still within make the ancient edifice safe from t 1 This photograph, taken in the bombardment of April 23, shows a "direct hit."

VALUABLE TIMBER DESTROYED BY FIRE Forest Fires Burn Week Destroying 500,000 Feet of Cut Tim- The most disastrous forest fire in the history of Central West Virginia has been raging in the vicinity of Horton for a week. More than 500,000 feet of skidded timber belonging to the Parsons Pulp and Lumber Company has been destroyed and a still greater quantity of standing timber ruined by the flames. Two of the big camps in which woodsmen are housed, as well as almost every bridge along the log roads, have been destroyed. Thirty fat hogs perished at the camps. Most of the timber destroyed was hardwood and the big hardwood mill at Horton will not be operated again until fall. The soft wood mills will be closed down for several days while bridges are being rebuilt and a new supply of timber cut. A great many men were thrown out of employment as a result of the fire. INTERESTING MEMORIAL SERVICES AT SHARPSBURG. Interesting exercises have been planned for the observance of Memorial Day at Antietam National Cemetery at Sharpsburg next Wednesday Gov. Martin G.

MARTINSBURG AND COUNTY VISITED BY FIERCE STORM MUCH DAMAGE REPORTED FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE COUNTY. FRUIT TREES BLOWN DOWN AND GARDNERS SUFFER SOME LOSS. NO SURIOUS EFFECTS REPORTED TO HAVE OCCURRED IN THE CITY. The clay and earth were stirred by a most fierce storm last night and shortly before 8 o'clock, and though it was of short duration it did considerable damage in various sections. The wind, rain and hail destroyed some property as well as causing much fruit and many vegetables to be damaged, although the rain no doubt was in the long run, of great advantage to the farmers. According to reports much damage was done in the Johnstown section of the county. At Jonas Files' farm the buggy shed was bown over and carried thirty feet from its foundation; the roof was torn off and split in many pieces, and a surrey that was inside was carried away and one wheel broken off. A born at the same farm was also moved seven inches. At Charles Barnes' place a number of fruit trees were uprooted. the was a shed and fences blown down did wrecked. Five apple trees were born to plums at Lorenel Filed farm, which is also in the Johnstown town, and, other damage was done. In Martinsburg most of the churches were holding religious worship when the storm began. No damage was reported and that there were no serious effects. ```markdown ``` RED MEN REMEMBER DEPARTED MEMBERS SUNDAY AFTERNOON TUSCARORA TRIBE MARCHES TO GREEN HILL CEMETERY FOR DECORATION. CAPTAIN KILMER DELIVERS ADDRESS ON PRINCIPLES OF THE ORDER. FLOWERS PLACED ON GRAVES OF DECEASED MEMBERS OF THE ORGANIZATION. A good-sized crowd accompanied the Tuscarora Tribe No. 50, Improved Order of Red Men, to Green Hill cemetery Sunday afternoon, where they paid respect to the departed members of the lodge, and listened to an address by Captain W. C. Kilmer. The Red Meth assembled at their hall in West King street and marched from there, the officers of the order riding in cars, led the procession. They marched north on Queen street to Burke and east on Burke to the cemetery and assembled in the center of the city's largest burial ground. O. T. Wilson, prominent in the local lodge, introduced Captain . C. Kilmer, who delivered the address. Captain Kilmer said he was to have introduced Hon. Dorsey Etchinson, of Frederick, Md., a fine sneaker and a prominent Red Man, but as Mr. Etchinson did not come, the address fell upon him. The speaker dwelt upon the principles of Redmanship—freedom, friend. ENOUGH IDLERS IN UNITED STATES ENOUGH IDLERS IN UNITED STATES To Make Draft Army—Married Men Will be Exempted In Raising First Army. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 28. There are 500,500 young men in the United States subject to the selective conscription law, or 500 more than are needed in the national army listed by the government as having no "gainful occupation." This has been revealed by the census bureau. There are 10,000,000 men who must register. Married men will be exempt from conscription for the raising of the first national army of 500,000 men, according to a reported preliminary plan of the war department. No specified industries or occupations will be exempt. In all matters of exemption the widest discretion will be left to the local boards. Skip and charity, and in detail explained each, telling what the principles meant to a cople. In his address Captain Kilmer mentioned the war, saying he believed at the culmination of the struggle every nation, even imperialistic Germany, would know more of these principles, of which many now know very little about. Captain Kilmer's address was not lengthy but quite interesting and throughout the crowd gathered about the platform in an effort to hear him, as the wind was blowing so hard it was impossible to hear for any great distance. At the conclusion of the address the graves of the departed members of the organization were decorated. R. FAHRNEY HAGERSTOWN, MD. Chronic Diseases Only.

"Who will win in this seemingly to be world-wide bloody war"? As we see it, whoever rules the sea. President Wilson for the good of his country and the story history will tell the future about himself, ought to change his decree that Negoes may register to fight, but not to vote. If, at the dawn of day, the whole human family would as sincerely and wholeheartedly chant the Lord's prayer, as the robin does its, what a unific family in universap brotherly love it would be. Like the cow that gave the bucket of rich milk, and then promptly kicked it over, the Baltimore American excoriated the Tennessee manburners in one issue, and in a few days thereafter came out in a tacit suggestion that lynching be resorted to for a certain class of malefactors. Consistency should be the watchword of the American. There is sufficient law in this country to punish all classes of offenders. All that is needed, is its application. We have no respect for a servile, cringing colored man. He is of more service to his people under the sod than on top of it.—Richmond (Va) Planet. That is our eternal gospel, preach it in the valleys and on the mountain tops. We want America saved and retain her God-blessed land where everybody could live, everything in nature found, every necessity produced and all be happy, and to accomplish it, old as we are, our gun would be shouldered with our three sons by our side, and conscription wouldn't have to line us up. Will it in the finality add greatness to a great country? Those white women who went to see that poor insane Negro burned, and fainted, no doubt are the daughters of the mothers the poor old slave men and women took care of during the war. Negroes, be honest, industrious and God loving, and all your labors will result in perpetual capitals at compound interest here and in eternity. It's a shame on this nation for a a man, great as was Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, after having done so much for it in war and peace, to have practically died broken hearted. But when one looks at it from a sane angle with "blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake, rejoice and be exceeding glad for great is your reward in heaven," he hasn't lived in vain, his persecutors may have. The principles he espoused are eternal and Foraker lived and died, that they be ours to fully enjoy. For years it has been our belief that too many American missionaries have never read that—"Charity begins at home," or they believe it is better to cross the ocean to serve God in saving heathens over there than stay home and help redeem these this country has made, and has for more than fifty years been killing by all kinds of hellish methods and no Presidents have ever boldly condemned it. But let a Negro, a stowaway, a skulking, lazy curse to his traducers, be killed on the sea—the missionaries cross to serve God—be killed by foreign war powers, O! then, this President takes note, and bunches them as American citizens in defense of a war of conscription. YES! COLORED OFFICERS! From under a barn at Highfield, Pendleton County, West Virginia, there bulges a stream of water on the North and another on the South. The former is the source of the Potomac and the latter that of the James river. They were no doubt millions of years cutting their way back to the ocean. Now, what a blessing to civilization and engineering. Also in this state are all kinds of waters—sulphur, iron, slate, magnesia, alum, laurel, hot and ice Perpetually. Most of them differ in color, and some are black, but they all without bickering have peacefully battled and cut their way through mountains, gorges and ground billions of tons of rock to powder. They all come from the same divine source and return gurgling in love back and become of one color. Nature seasoned and colored them—God's work. Akin to the blessings the streams of water have been to this God-blessed land, compares nobly the wonderful work the colored people have done. They too, have been darkened by climatic conditions, and like the waters, are moving on to their divine source where no color is known. Why can't humanity move onward and do its work in harmony as the rivers? When all the white officers were shot down, who led the black boys up San Juan Hill and took that fort? A Negro, who when told to "retreat" yelled back: "retreat hell! follow me boys!" They obeyed, and the world knows the result. Was Hannibal, Toussaint L'Overture, Menelek, Maceo, Dodds and many others white? If the Negroes are brave enough and sensible enough to fight to the very last ditch, why are not a selection of them fit to officer their own men? Is it an eternal decree of the pale face creatures that Negroes must be forever mastered by them? We are fullfledged American citizens and will not stand for it. As all manly white officers love and prefer Negro soldiers, so also, Negro soldiers love and prefer Negro officers. We only ask for open doors to all avenues in life and if we fail here and there now and then as all others have, we shall not sob and whine but up and at it again and again until renown is won. We won it fresh from slavery's huts in the sixties and we made ourselves freedmen and our equation amid the struggle for life during the past fifty years, has eliminated the d. Now that the most beautiful(?) spectacle of the lynching and burning of a human being took place near Memphis, Tennessee, it will be in order for America's greatest of all showmen, the Rev. "Billy" Sunday, to do some more of his "grand-stand playing", and downright hypocritical moralizing about the South's "great morality," religion and general excellence. Bah! "Billy!" you and the red-handed murdering sections of the South that you have been prattling about ought to go 'way back and sit down. DEAD! VET SHE LIVETH! Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Franklin, to our knowledge, the last great grand-daughter of Thomas Jefferson, died May 30, 1917, 7. P. M., Washington, D. C., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook. She was born at Lexington, Virginia, about 1824, and was reared by the fine and famous MacDowell family. She was a ripe, rich, rare and wonderful character, in whom purity of heart and greatness of soul and readiness of hand were so combined that all who knew her intimately loved her, and all who in any way associated with her were impressed for life and admired her. She lived more than the allotted age of women, and did vastly more than any woman's share of work for loved ones with a soul so much on fire that the whole human family might share it. To better express it, a few days ago, lying on her bed stretching out her arms full length she exclaimed: "O! John, I wish I could draw the world into the arms of my blessed Savior." It is hard to give her up, for her loss is widespread, sincere and deep. She was a self-made refined and highly cultured woman whose principal inheritance from her parents was her character burnished by their example and training - she was pure in mind, word and deed. Thank God this broken link will join the present closer to ete nity. But few people have lived her number of years with less contentions with their fellow beings. Her husband preceded her forty years ago, and when she heard angels whisper "come," without murmur she followed their course heavenward guided by the glittering light of their shining wings straight to the golden gate—and having around her the robe of righteousness, the dark shadows of death were electrified. With perfect confidence she looked up and heard the plaudit, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, come up higher." Dear Mother! Au revoir! SHERIFF IN CHARGE DURING ABSENCE OF STATE TROOPS LEGISLATURE PROVIDES POLICE PROTECTION UNTIL TROOPS RETURN. SHERIFF CAN CALL 100 CITIZENS AT ANY TIME THE OCCASION MAY REQUIRE. DEPUTIES SHALL HAVE FULL POWER TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTIES. Next to the appropriation bill, the measure before the legislature which excited the greatest interest in the closing days of the session was the enactment of the law providing for a system of police protection in the state during the absence of the National Guard. The measure created considerable friction in the House of Delegates, which was not eliminated until the closing hours of the session and the agitation finally resulted in a compromise that was eminently satisfactory. Governor Cornwell deemed the creation of a police system of such importance that he sent to the Legislature a special message on the subject, reciting that West Virginia, with the National Guard away from the state and beyond his orders, would be at the mercy of those who would incite riots and disorders and told the Legislature that a few mpn could destroy the railroad bridges running into the state from Ohio and Maryland and practically suspend the business of the state. He also pointed out that there were in West Virginia large numbers of ailen citi- zena. The New Law. The new law, which becomes operative immediately and which the governor approved in the early hours of Sunday morning read as follows: "Section 1. The sheriff of every county in the state of West Virginia shall, with the consent and approval of the county court of his county, point not less than 10, nor more than 100 citizens thereof, who are over the age of 31 years, as special police deputies. Such persons so appointed shall be of good moral character and voters resident within the county and their service shall continue during the period of the war between the United States and the Imperial German government. No person shall be eligible to he'd or be appointed to said special deputy police force who is a member of, employed by or identified with any detective agency or private police organization. "Section 2. Upon the call and at the direction of the governor, the deputies so appointed under the provisions of this act shall have the power and it shall be their duty to police and protect the lives and properties of persons or citizens within in their respective counties, under the direction of the sheriff thereof, and if, in the opinion of the governor, any of such special deputy police force is needed to perform duty in any other county of the State of West Virginia, he shall have the right and authority to command them, or any of them to perform such duties, which in his opinion, may be necessary for the purposes aforesaid, and for the preservation of peace and order therein. "Section 2. While on duty, the members of said special deputy police force appointed as aforesaid shall have the right and privilege to carry visibly any necessary firearms, without being required to give any bond or apply for, or obtain any license, as provided by section 7. of chapter 148, of Barnes Code of West Virginia, 1916; and while on duty they shall be under the command and control of such officers as the governor may designate and appoint; and such police deputies may organize drill for the purpose of discipline and efficiency under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed and promulgated by the Governor. And the governor shall within 30 days after this act takes effect designate some regulation design that will distinctly identify deputy police officers from civilians. "Section 4. No member of such special deputy police force shall in any instance be detailed for or ordered on duty at or near any voting precinct where any election or primary is being held, or is about to be held, nor shall any member of said force interfere in any manner with any election official or voter in the discharge of his duty as such, or going to or returning from the voting precincts, and any member of such force violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $25 or more than $100, and may t the discretion of the court be imprisoned in the county jail not less than 30 nor more than 90 days, or both fined and imprisoned, as aforesaid. "Section 6. oAll acts or parts of deputy police are called for service by the governor, as hereinbefore provided, each member thereof shall receive the sum of $3 per day and expenses for the time actually engaged under said call, in such service, the same to be paid out of the fund placed at the disposal of the Executive State Council of Defense, as provided by law. "Section 6. oAll acts or parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby repealed." ```markdown ``` KERNSKY TAKES STRONG GRIP ON RUSSIAN ARMY STAKES ALL ON HIS ABILITY TO MAKE THE SOLDIERC FIGHT. MAY CEMENT LAND INTO UNITED FORCE IF GOVERNMENT MEASURES UP. MINISTER OF WAR BEGINS SUPREME TEST OF HIS AND COUNTRY'S CAREER PETROGRAD. May 30.—The Lloyd George of Russia—Minister of War Herensky—began today the supreme act of his own career and of new Indians. His new orders to the army, resorting discipline by authorization for punishment of offenders, including penal servitude for deserters, became effective in the orders of the day. A popular idol throughout all Russia. Herensky, is staking all on his ability to incite Russia's army into fighting. If the new Provisional government 's strong enough to back him up, his supporters believe 'e will succeed in cementing Russia into a cohesive, united force. Peasants See Need for Unity. In the meantime signs multiply that the peasants whose initial resistance on division of the land had for a time threatened the internal safety of the government are realizing more and more the necessity for unity of action' The 'Peasants' Congress, in session yesterday, selected alfost unanimously a resolution demanding immediate publication of all treaties signed by the old regime in Russia and in emphatic terms voiced disapproval of fraternization of Russian troops with the enemy. The decision not to press for publication of the "secret treaties" is in strong support of the government which has maintained that such action should not be taken without consultation with Russia's allies, although it favored in general the publication of all future compacts by the new regime Kerensky is still at the front, exhorting the troops to fight. A new order issued by him was published here yesterday. It pleaded that the men ignore intoxicating liquors in the army. "I demand that the use of alcoholic drinks by the soldiers be prevented." declares the statement. His Assassin a Lunatic. NEW YORK, May 30.—The man who recently attempted to assassinate A. F. Kerensky, Russian Minister of War, has been adjudged a lunatic and confined to an asylum, according to a cablegram to the Jewish Dly Forward yesterday from its Petrograd correspondent. "Assailant of Kerensky proved to be a lunatic and confined to an asylum," the cablegram said. "Other cases in connection with assault dismissed, as an organized plot discovered."

CLOSE CANVASS IN THE BARRED ZONE U. S. Marshal to Determine Whether Germans Reside Near Navy Yard and Military Station. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30. A house-to-house canvass has been adopted by United States Marshal Splain throughout the barred zone around the navy yard and other military stations in order to discover if any unnaturalized Germans are residing therein. Three deputy marshals are engaged in this work, as the marshal wishes to afford all such persons an opportunity to receive notice of the necessity for applying for permits to continue within this restricted district. Thursday is the last day for the issuance of such permits, as the proclamation of President Wilson fixes June 1 as the date when all alien enemies shall remove from this zone. AID PLANNED FOR VIRGINIA FARMERS Council for Defense Plans for Short Time Small Loans Without Collateral. The problem of rendering adequate financial assistance to the Virginia farmer in the shortest possible time is receiving the attention of the Vir- ginia council of defense. A committee of the council has been appointed, with James O. Winston as chairman, to formulate a plan by which the Virginia banker and the Virginia farmer can get together on a new basis. The council advocates the formation of a $200,000 farmer's loan fund, to be used solely to aid those farmers who need small amounts of money to buy seed, equipment, etc., and who have not sufficient collateral to negotiate such a loan at the bank in the usual way. It is suggested that each bank in the state subscribe to the $200,000 pool pro rata according to its capital stock. The main idea in the plan is that the farmer will not be asked to put up collateral. He will be passed on by the county committee, and if its approval be given he will be given the money on his unsecured note at 6 per cent. J. S. CLATTERBUCK KILLED BY TRAIN J. S.

A GETS $1,000 A WEEK, SHE SUES FOR MORE. Clara Kimball Young, the movie actress, who brings in at least $52,000 a year broke off diplomatic relations with Lewis J. Selznick, her manager, by bringing suit against him and his two companies, the Lewis J. Selznick Enterprises, Inc., and the Clara Kimball Young Film Corporation. The actress's complaint is that she has been making slathers of money by her films, but that Selznick has been getting it all. She wants a receiver appointed and an accounting made of her alleged share. Clara Kimball Young contends that Selznick has deprived her of a half share in the profits of her pictures and made her resemble in some measure "The Foolish Virgin," whom she portrayed on the screen. This photo drama, together with "The Price She Paid" and "The Common Law" have netted more than $699,000 in the last six months, she says, and the Selznick companies have received $335,000 from the rights to her pictures all over the country for a term of years. Though she was made vice president and treasurer of the Clara Kimball Young Corporation when Selznick organized it, she com- plains that she was not permitted to handle any of the funds due her under her contract, and had to struggle along with a salary of $1,000 a week. QUINTET CAUGHT IS WITH MUCH LIQUOR Five Men Arrested Near Shepherdstown Bridge and Given Heavy Jail Sentences. Late Saturday afternoon Deputy Sheriff Link and Constable Robert Shipley arrested five men near the Shepherdstown bridge, charging them with bringing too much liquor into the state. The men were taken before Justice Robert G. Miller for a hearing, and all entered pleas of guilty. William Ewing, colored, G. Barguilo and Ambrose Cubbage, were each sentenced to serve 6 months in the county jail at Charles Town, and pay a fine of $200, while James G. McCoy and Joe Costello were sentenced to 6 months each in jail and pay a fine of $100. The quintet was employed at the Blairton quarries, and were making the trip in H. F. Magruder's car. When arrested they had 27 quarts of whiskey, 19 bottles of beer and a large quantity of rum, apple jackets. The men claimed that all of the liquor was not theirs, but belonged to friends at the quarries. A warrant was issued for Magruder, but so far he has eluded the of ficers.

SHERIFFS, BE CAREFUL! (Wheeling Register.) Since the West Virginia legislature has created a "home guard" through the passage of a bill authorizing sheriffs in each of the several counties of the state to deputize not less than 10 nor more than 100 citizens to act as guards and carry visible arms. it is up to the sheriffs to use the utmost care in making their selections. It is presumed that the bill (which has not been published in full) provides that the "home guards" will carry arms only when doing duty, pay having been provided only for days of actual service, and that the sole purpose of the guards will be to put down any uprisings or disturbances that may occur. To have one hundred men bearing arms at all times in Ohio county, however, would be wrong: because, unless the duties of the "guards" are clearly defined, they might bring about unnecessary inconveniences for law-abiding citizens and may be the cause of serious encounters, especially if arms are placed in the hands of irresponsible parties, through bearing and unduly offensive conduct.

NO GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP It Would Mean Political Control and Loss of Efficiency—Dollaras That Crisis Confronts Country on Account of Transportation Situation—Lowest Freight Rates to Be Found in United States. Washington, May 14. - That the United States is now to face with a serious crisis in its commerce affairs, due to the conditions by which its transportation system is confronted, was the opinion expressed by W. M. Aworth, England's leading authority on railways, before the Newlands joint committee on interstate commerce at a special session held here to enable the committee to hear his views before his departure for London this week. Two steps are necessary, according to Mr. Aworth, to avert this crisis and to solve the threatening railroad problem confronting the country. The first is to allow the railroads to charge freight rates sufficient to meet the great advance in operating expenses which is taking place and to enable them to command the credit necessary to provide the extensions and improvements needed to meet the growing demands of business. The second is to do away with the multiple and conflicting systems of regulation that now humper railway operation and to provide one centralized regulatory agency with such local subdivisions as may be necessary. Higher Rates a Public Necessity. Mr. Aeworth's views on the transportation situation in the United States were expressed in answer to questions by members of the committee who asked him to apply his knowledge of railway conditions throughout the world and of the experience of other countries with government ownership to the present problem before the United States. "The fundamental factor in the situation is very simple," said Mr. Aceworth. "I lies in the fact that you cannot get three quarters of a cent's worth of work done for less than three quarters of a cent, no matter whether the agency performing it is a government or private enterprise. Freight rates must advance when the cost of performing the service advances as it is doing at present, just as the price of bregt or meat or any other commodity increases with increased cost or production." In answer to a question Mr. Aceworth said that he thought American freight rates had been at much too low a level for several years past, that they had reached this low point during the period of cutthroat competition among for which it has been held that the officers bodies. Unless re- ply to the carriers very prior to the result would be held in loss to the people of the whole country through insufficien- cy of transportation facilities. Written and Government Ownership. On the official government owner- ship of the officers Mr. Aeworth said: It is intuitively to obtain satisfactory working and government railways by means of state unless the man-made railway will leave from direct political control. Neither Australia nor man-made industry with a democratic constitution enjoys an exception to the rule of Switzerland—has it been intuitively a permanent environment in Belgium, in Holland, in the city interference never been guaranteed for a moment. It has always that government intended to train the railway in the interests of the people at the heart of the city and sectional interests in the city and interests. A mission to the world said, was the best effort to dismantle out government, to destroy it and he pointed out that the several locations were treated with great importance in the French army during winters. While American missions had been reduced in number per cent in thirty years, rates of death were nearly as high as any other number of the period. While the enemy was moving a ton of fire at quotas in the United States was a offence to three quarters of a cent, the rate and burden was 1.41 cents. As illustrated if • diligence in rates between government and private roads Mr. Aeworth compared the railways of New South Wales, Australia, with those of Texas. While the amount of traffic to each guille of line was about the same in both cases, he pointed out, the Texas railways performed for the public tour buses as much service as the government owned roads of New South Wales. The charge in Texas for hauling a ton of freight one mile was less than 1 cent, while in the Australian state it was well over 2 cents. "American railways lead the world," said Mr. Aeworth. "Nowadays when men in any other part of the world want to know how to run a railway they come to the United States and study your railways here. The American railways are entirely the result of private enterprise, and I think they go a long way toward proving the case against government ownership." DR. FAHRNEY HAGERSTOWN, MD. DR.

To date two hundre! and fifteen thou- gand dollars have been definitely pledged. Two hundred and cisuty-five thousand dollars yet reinain to be raised. This, in a nutshell, is the Proposition that faces the little band of workers that 1s prosecutiny the work in this great movement Five hundred thousand dollars is the total that Wesleyan has set her, self to raise. This amount is absolutely essential to the continuation of the groat work that this great institution has been doing for the pzust thirty years, It can be satd emphatically that if this movement fails West Virginia Wesleyan will have but two courses open to her; one, to close her doors entirely, the other, to attempt to do nothing more than preparatory work equivalent to that the first class high schools of the state are doing. ‘To be forced to pursue either of these courses would be an everlasting blot on the record of West Virginia Methodism and a disgrace to the state, However, a perusal of the statements given below will convince all that this 4s tho true situation. Wesleyan College has had an annual net loss on operating expenses of seven thousand dollars for a number of years past. There is an accumu- lated indebtedness that is pressing for payment, which with the expenses of| the present campatgn, repairs and im- Provements on the buildings and grounds that are absolutely impr riti-e. and other incidental expenses that re quire the immediate expenditure of one hundred thousand dollars in order that the College may be placed on a basis of solvency. 2 The college has a permanent endow- ment of about one hundred thousand dollars at this time. Of the five hun- dred thousand that {s to be raised, one hundred thousand 1s to be used in meeting the indebtedness and other expenses as indicated above, and the remaining four hundred thousand is to be added to the one hundred thou- sand of existing endowment. ‘his will give the College gross endowment funds of five hundred thousand dollars, the revenue from which will amount to about twenty-five thousands of dollars im income annually. Inasmuch, how- ever, as one hundred thousand of it has been avatlable for a number of years back, there will be a gross increase in the income of the college amounting to twenty thousand dollars annually ff tho present campaign is successful. It {8 proposed to utilize this twenty thousand in the following manner: Seven thousand, of course, will be neoded to meet the annual deficit that for years has existed in the operation of the college. ‘The teachers at Wes leyan are notoriously poorly paid. ‘The majority of them receive barely one- half the amount paid to teachers tn ether colleges which do work of no higher grade than that done at Wes- leyan. It is absolutely essential, then, 4M these teachers are to be retained and if improvements in the teaching force are to be made, that eventually ten thousand dollars more be spent each year on the teaching staff. Under existing salaries it te absolutely im- Poseible for tho teachers to remain at their posts. These two items, then, call for seventeen thousand of the twenty thousand additional dollars of revenue the college will receive if LOCAL HOSPITALS ARE PROVIDED = FOR BY LEGISLATURE IN.

During the next two years that county will receive $188,000 a year as follows: Huntington State hospital, $2,000; Marshall College, $73, 500; Colored State Tuberculosis sanitarium, $15,000, and the West Virginia Colored Orphans home, $17,500. In other words Cabell county alone receives approximately 1-15 of the appropriations, while five counties east of the mountains fare but little better. Doesn’t look right, does it?
