answer, | Will say that liberty does
not consist in doing what YOU
desire. il that desire is wrong; -
that is barbarism but it does con
sist in permitting You to do that
which IS light to Yourself, your
family. your neighbors, and your
country. That ignorance is wrong
no rational person will attempt to
deny. Therefore, wo must right
this wrong by compelling parents
to educate their children when the
means are within their reach. Let
US use our influence toward the pas.
sage of such law in this State.
Let West Virginia place herself in
line with twcnty-seven other States
in our Union by passing compul-
sorry attendance law, and ere long
she can truthfully .exclaim, " Nom

CUPID CAPERs,
From the Clarkshurg Enonlror.

From the Clarksburg Enquirer.
shortly afternoon yesterday n rus
tic looking couple entered the Court
House and inquired for the license
bureau. Upon being shown County
Clerk Longs office, the young man
declined to 90 in, but went to the
County Court room, from where
Long was sent for. The young man
told HIM he wanted n marriage Ii
cense and parson, but wanted no
witnesses TO the wedding nor lld he
want the marriage published. Mr..
Long Issued the license and sent for
Rev. Mr.. Warden. When the min
istcr arrived the habItues of the
Court House who were OH the rack
ct followed him into the room. The
BRIDE to-be was all smiles, while the
groom sat sullenly in his chair.
After scanning the license Mr..
Warden said: "Stand up, please" "
The young woman arose, but the
man clustered out, 81 object to any
witnesses but the Clerk" J." On this
hint the crowd took Il sneak outside
the room where they could witness
the proceedings. After they left
the man arose and stood with his
hat on and his hards IN his pockets
nntil they were told to Join hnnds.
when lie took one hand out. After
they were pronounced man and wife
the groom threw II dollar down on
the table, as though he were payIng
for drink, lighting cigar and
demanding II certificate. Mr.. War
den declined TO give him one unless
he would pay for it. After some
haggling he paid upand obtained the
paper, and they left. As they
waikSd through the Court House
the happy (O groom clung close to
the fence until his bride yankcd hlm
ont in the middle Of the path and
took the fence herself. The bride
acted as though she was able to
take care Of herself, notwitbstand-
ing she has n husband " no loohs as
though "he Wished he wasn't"
The County Clerks books show
that the license was issued to An
drew +. Kinnel and Sarah S. Han

rious conduct Of the couple caused
much comment in the vicinity of

An Adjournment without Provision
for it Would Be a Fatal Blow to
it-GOy. Francis Has Conf
dence i'm the Legislature.
From the jefferson City Tribune.

fItln tllE btlltTSbH Wy bli
Gov. Francis, upon being asked
last night if he did not fear the Leg
islature would adjourn without
making provision for the rebuilding
of the State University, said: Not
at all. | have too much confidence
in the good sense of the Thirty-Sixth
General Assembly to believe for one
moment that it will prove faithless
to the duty its members have sworn
to perform. The constitution of
the State makes its mandatory upon
the General Assembly to aid and
maintain the State University now
established with its present depart
ments. An adjournment without
making provision for rehabilitating
the University would prove almost
or quite fatal to the perpetuity Of
the institution. Missouri, when ad-
mitted to the Union, accepted from
the Federal government the trust o.
establishing and maintaining {
seminary of learning, and her PEG.
pie, in the discharge of that trust
have imposed the duty on the Gen
eral Assembly in the constitution
adopted by their votes and which
can only be changed by the same
sovereign power. The record of thu
Thirty-Sixth General Assembly TO
wise, broad and progressive legisla
ton should convince US that there il
no foundation for any such fear
The political party that neglects thu
State University must explain to th'
people, and the legislator who fail!
or refuses to provide buildings TO
its accommodation will be held to
strict account by his constituents
