Coffin Nails.

From the number of little boys to
be seen in the streets of Martinsburg
smoking cigarettes, the law of the
State which prohibits the selling of
them, is dead letter"
Over in Ohio a few days ago the
people of little village made a de-
monstration to express their opposi-
ton to cigarette smoking, in the way
OF parade, embracing boys and girls
between 6 and IS years of age, all
pledged to oppose the use of tobacco
in any shape, especially cigarettes, or
coffin nails" as they can be appro-
priately called.
The man who encourages small
boys to handle such vile things, will
itself commit any act.

The Board Of Education at its last
regular meeting continued, for action
Monday evening next, motion to
dispense with mid winter exar1ina-
tons. The motion was presented by
Mr.. Russler who did not press it to a
vote for the reason that the full Board
was not present. The matter will
come up for discussion and final action
Monday evening at which time it is
hoped all members of the Board may
be present.
This is possibly the most important
problem which the new Board will
have to solve, and one which should
be dealt with fearlessly. All other
towns of any size in the State discard
ed them years ago. AS stated in the
Herald some months since State Super
intendent Virgil A. Lewis expressed
great surprise when informed that
they were IN vogue mere.
1t is scarcely necessary at this time
to present any argument why the
Board should take affirmative action
on the pending motion, as we have
frequently discussed the question and
shown the baleful effects of these al
legged tests of scholarship. Indeed in
our opinion the handsome majority
secured at the late election was large
ly due to the fact that the people ex-
pected relief from annoyance and the
further fact that they want the stand
ard raised. The Herald hopes to see
this relic of bygone years eliminated
and does not believe it will be disap-
pointed.

has cost SO, 900. The establishment
will steadily employ large number
of hands and will materially aid in
booming the town. Mr.. Buxton de-
serves the encouragement of our citi-
zens and we hope he may prosper in
his undertaking.

City Band Reorganized.

1t is pleasure to announce that the
City Band is reorganized and in bet
ter condition to furnish first class music
than ever before Officers have been
elected as follows:
P. c. Curtis, president; Frank
Evans, first vice president; Chas' G.
Smith, second vice-president; c. A.
Young, treasurer H. A. Hammond,
secretary; Prof. Jas o. Brockenshire,
director and B. F. Dooley, property
man. The members so far besides the
the officers: o. S. Rigsby, Lee Ortman,
Saul Greer. Robt Greer, Oscar See,
Chas. Pitzer, John Kaufman, A. F.
Lambert, Robt. Thompson. Frank,
luminous, Daniel Henry, VIM. Ry-
neal, VIM. Chambers, Geo. Bushnell,
Rodger Hyde, Chas. Mantz and Percy
Darby.
The Statesman makes the following
suggestion which me most heartily
indorse:
1.-The effort of those who undertook
to raise money for the City Band has
been more fruitful than was expected
and $500 have been realized and the
reorganization Of the band is now as
sured. 1t sgratifying indeed to know
that the merits of the band are appre-
ciated by our people. but we still
think that the City Council should
make an annual appropriation for the
support of the organization. The
town must in some way or other sup
port it and if it were supported by the
council everybody would pay his share
in proportion to his wealth just as
everybody pays taxes to run the town.
The whole load would not fall on forty
or fifty people while all are benefited.
