a few until it shakes the whole fabric of
popular government from turret to tounda-
tion stOne.n
Fully ), 900 people were in the audience
and more than that number were turned
away unable to gain admittance.
The above is an unbiased report, sent
out by an Associated Press agent. Was
there anything in the action Of that i'm
mense and deeply interested audience
which indicated that they thought
there was any "audacity" in the speak
er because he addressed them on the
vital issues Of the day? When 5000
people were turned away from the doors
OF the Opera House, be cause there were
5000 Inside, and standing room was not
TO be had, did it indicate that the citi-
zens Of GAINESVILLE connected the pros
perity Of the country in the remotest
degree with the Mckinley bill? On the
contrary, did it not indicate that the
great tariff reformer's chunks of facts
and sound logic impressed them with the
power and truth of his statements?
If he were fresh from Texas
and may be excused for making such a
break" Why was it that not a single
person among those 5000 souls,
crammed and jammed together on that
sultry night, cleft the building until the
last words of the speaker had been
uttered" viii the HltelltgeReer note
some Of these facts and mark how
redicuously absurd it is to attempt to
hood-wink and prejudice its readers
by placing headlines over its telegraphic
matter so manifestly unfair?
The fact is patent to everyone that
reads with care the brief report OF Mr..
Mills speech at GAINESVILLE, that his
words and his logic must have struck a
sympathetic chord and went directly
home. They knew evidently that it
was not the high tax Mckinley bill that
was giving the country a temporary
prosperity, out the aOunudht crops
They knew also what the terrible con-
dition would have been if not for these
abundant crops and how much better
of would they be than now If they had
not to pay two prices for nearly all their
comforts and necessities of life. 1t only
wanted master spirit like MILLS to pre-
sent these facts in an intelligent and
perspicuous way to entrance his hearers,
for entranced they surely were, if such
a vast crowd could remain in doors on
that hot night and listen TO the end
without a single Individual leaving the
hall.
More power to you, ROGER Q. MILLS,
and may your tongue never flag until
your just cause is won.

MoRGANTowN, September 2S.-The
nonsense about atyphoid fever epidemic
at Morgantown which has been pub
lisbed in some Of the State papers has
no foundation in fact. We doubt *
there is a town in the State OF the same
size which has as little sickness at
this time. The work OF the year is
moving along smoothly with the largest
attendance ever known in the history
of the institution. With the new de-
nartmeuts added the University is
Covering a broad educational field. 1t
needs at least one more department, with
a complete commercial course, which
could be provided for with very little
additional expense, and would afford
business education to the young men OF
the State who are now compelled to at
tend business colleges in other States.
prof. I. c. White has just returned from
a prospecting tour TO the Rocky Noun
tains with party Of European geolo-
pists. He has many anecdotes TO tell Of
his trim. The State Board OF Agricn J.

nrobably be in session for several days
The new court house, which Is nearing
completion, will be decided ornament

10 ne Editor Of ths Register.
SIR:-I am glad to see that you still
favor the establishment of high school
in the city Of Wheeling. This, in con-
nection with manual training school
is what is needed, and has been needed
for years. The high school is a neces-
sity, and it must be established if
Wheeling expects TO keep pace in every
thing with other cities. There are nu-
merous towns in our own State that
have high schools in which boys and
girls are, or can be prepared for college
-MOundSville, ParkerSburg, Charles
ton, Huntington, Martinsburg, Grafton,
Fairmont, ClarksbUrg, Buc6hannOn, aud
perhaps others, and shall Wheeling
the metropolis of the State linger ia the
rear. Mr.. Editor, there are needed just
now on the Wheeling Board of Educa-
tion more men of broad yiewS-men who
have the good Of the whole community
nj heart-men who will work for the
good of the community, and not run
the schools merely TO crafty their own
personal ends. The time is coming, and
indeed has come, when broad views
should be taken of education. Educa-
ton does not consist In knowledge of
the text books merely, but il consists in
preparing the boys and girls to become
good men and women; it consists in ed
ucating the whole being-the head, the
hand. the heart; hence, in our schools
there should be broad minded
men and women, and it will
take broad minded men in our boards Of
education TO select such teachers. We
have such men IN our board, as can be
seen from the debate on the subject Of
a High school 10 their last meeting.
When a man says that he is In favor OF
a High School regardless Of the costs,
he shows a spirit that should actuate
every citizen Of Wheeling who has the
good OF the city at heart. Why stand
i'm opposition TO the light Of the Nine
teenth Century; too long have we been
TOO conservative in regard TO things
that pertain 70 the lasting good OF our
city. but under the leadership of those
members OF the board who are 50 out
spoken in favor Of High School we ex-
Deet the school year Of 1923 to open
with a full pledged High School in OPP

OCTOBER MAGAZINES.

Col. Theodore A. Dodge presents In the
October Forum an alarming picture OF the
unprotected condition Of our country TrSm
foreign invasion, especially on the coast OF
the Lakes. I'm two weeks after declar-
alton of war" he writes, England could
place fifty gunboats on the Lakes and
more than thirty armored vessels IN tne
harbours of our leading cities, ana coulo
concentrate $4,000 regular troops IN Gan
ada, backed by a sturdy militia ready 70
march across our border; while IN twice
that time part OF her Aslatlc squadron
could sail through the Golden Gate"
No more fitting selection of writer OF
an article on the "Corso of Rome" in the
October Scribner, could have been made
than the American sculptor and poet w.
w. Story. He has not only passed the
larger part of his life in Italy, but he mas
made the study of her memories and MS
toric associations labor Of love and an IN
spiration. His book 'Rooa di Roma,
published number of years ago, is still
the best and most sympathetic authority
on the Eternal City. The illustrations, oy
Ettore Tito, are remarkable for tneir ialth-
full and artistic reproduction OF CHARACTER
istic Roman scenes.
There are three articles 10 the atlantic Tor
the month of October 10 which tue reader
will at once turn. First, Oliver Wendell
Holiness tribute TO James Russell Lower,
a poem touching alike for the public senil-
ment of grief that it expresses as wei! as
for the personal note of sorrow at the loss
of friend and fellow-poet. The next arti-
Gle. Henry Stones account Of General
Thomas. will be of great interest TO the
many people who liked and the few VINO
did not like. the much talked about paper
on General Sherman by Mr.. John Z. Ropes.
The third contribution which will command
attention is the paper by Colonel Thomas
Wentworth Higginson. on Emily DieKin-
sons Letters"
The arena for October is rich in choice
reading. There is one remarkable paper
on Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Herne aud their
theatrical work. These natural actors are
well-known in Wheeling, and MIR. Car

the way of realizing the bold purpose
with which it started ont? In looking
for an answer he must be very impassive
who is not thrilled by the record OF its
achievements which a perusal OF It's his
tory compels him to contemplate. There
is not single phase of human life where
its transforming, uplifting power is not
seen.
See what it has done for the physical
Improvement of men In the way OF fur-
nishing them with better homes, better
food, and better clothing. In the way
of relief for physical ills by the searcn-
ing out of remedies, and by the building
of hospitals and asylums, and 1nnrmar-
les, and houses of refuge, and the es-
tablishment of various eleemosynary IN
situations and agencies to help man
physically. And there Is not single
such institution on the face OF the earth
over the entrance to which might not
be truthfully inscribed the words, I'm
Christianity's NAME"
See what it has done for mans i'm
proyement socially, in the way OF aool-
ishing caste and social distinctions,
slavery and other kindred eVlis'
especially the elevation Of woman to
the place of queen regnant over nome
and heart.
But the purpose of Christianity is not
vet accomplished. 1t is being accom-
plished, and it will be yet demonstrated
that what was thought to be the lrrl-
descent dream of the Galilean peasant
and and householder is the only hope
of the world.
In familiar and famous passage In
Virgil's fourth eclogue, written perhaps
forty years before Christ, he halls with
song the birth of child. who is to re-
store the Golden Age. His figures seem
caught from the prophecies OF Isaiah
perhaps through the books OF the So
called Erythraean Sibyl; then read In
Rome-as he sketches the time when
the goat shall bring home the milk
sweled udders, and the herds shall have
no fear of great lions; when the serpent
shall be extinct with the poisonous
herb: when the rudy grape shall ma
lively hang on vines uncultivated, and
the stiff oaks shall distill liquid honey;
when every region shall be fruitful in
dli bUiURS. duu JuO elOuAU SiAoii LIZ ~
be subjected to the harrow, nor the vine
to the knife.
The boy of whom Virgil is supposed
to have written was imprisoned by II
berius, and starved to death In his soil
tary dungeon. The child OF whom
Isaiah wrote now leads in triumph, to-
ward unreached ages, the aspiring and
hopeful civilization Of the world. In
His name is the hope of mankind. In
the sign of His cross Christendom con-
quers.

Our own General GoFF was down at
Bellaire, iast night, telling the voters
of that end of Belmont county how they
ought to cast their ballots at the com
ing Gubernatorial election, but al
though he pleaded with his hearers in
the impassioned aud Silyery-tongued
manner so characteristic Of the Gen
eral, and with which we of West Vir-
ginia are so familiar, he appears to
have been accorded q somewhat tame
ovation. 1t may have been the drop in
the temperature, or perhaps it was be-
cause Ohio voters have made up their
minds concerning the manner OF Mr..
WILLIAM MCKINLEY's political end;
but whatever the cause, the eff
feet was that while the General
GoFF was attentiyely listened to, about
the only show Of real enthusiasm which
he provoked was not induced by any
thing he had TO savrelatiye to the tariff,
or kindred matters. Even the stereotyped
platitudes about the ''past glOries" Of
the g. o. p, provoked but murmur of
appreciation.

order to get Wall streets money, or
shall the government issue $200,000,-

which to meet the demands against

instead of borrowing it of Wall street
That is the most prominent issue that
