RUSSIA'S PROSPERITY

New York, Feb. "a special to the
Herald from St Petersburg says:
Since the return of Count Murayeiff.
opinion which had held in diplomatic
circles here that Russia's foreign pol
icy would be in no wise altered, has
become a certainty.
Russia will continue her policy of
advancement and progress by the
peaceful measures which were so
strongly upheld by Prince Lobanoff
and the policy of the past and present
ears, which brought Russia to the
highest pitch of prosperity she has
even known.

Our new city superintendent and
principal of the High School. Mr.. c.
H. Cole, comes highly recommended
as a scholar and teacher. He is az
years old, is married and is the
father OF two children. That he is
a capable man is beyond a doubt
More than this we know not. 1t is
the desire of the board to elevate the
schools Of the city to the highest
point of efficiency. In this they
should have the support of every
citizen. There is no reason why
their brightest anticipations should
not be realized During the past
three years there has been a great
advance. The course of study has
been extended and still classes have
passed far beyond the bounds fixed.
There is yet room for improvement.
The object has been to prepare pupils
for entering college. That has
almost been attained. They can do
better. There is no reason why they
should not be prepared to enter
sophomore or junior departments.

Commenting upon the row between
Joe Green, a Mattinsburg negro, and
young Worthington, Of Winchester,
the Statesman says:
This gives our neighbors an exhibit
ton of the subserviency of everything
that is right and just in our commu-
nifty to politics. Such is the case and
much as we may deprecate such a
condition, we must submit.
Yes, brother, you must submit.
Here the majority-the people-rule.
Elections are free and fair which is
more than can be said of "our neigh
bofs." If this community does not
suit the Statesman, there is railroad
and good, broad highway" leading
to Winchester town. There are those
who can draw the $22oo salary as p
NJ. and he will not be missed in the
years to come.

The Berkeley county school book
board met last Thursday and adopted
the books now in use except readers
and spoilers McGuffey' S readers and
speller were displaced by Pollard S.
The new books are a decided improve
ment over the old, and it is mystery
why arithmetics and algebras were
not changed. But it appears as if
the board is Of opinion that a sickle
or scythe is as good as a reaper or
mower. Pollard's readers are based
on the synthetic system and teach
children to construct words, sentences
and paragraphs instead of learning by
rote. OF course there are those who
object, SO also the discoverer of print
ing was charged with being in league
with the devil and Calico was jailed
for inventing the telescope. The new
books are cheap, costing but 70 cents
in exchange for old books Nothing
is lost by putting new books in the
hands of the children and the only
pity is, as stated above, that other
changes were not made.

1t is possible and we hope to see It
accomplished within the next four
years. The public schools are now
vastly superior to the private schools
and we hope to see the day when
there will not be private school in

and will cease to exist here, as they
have elsewhere, if the public schools
are properly managed

Since the Board of Education has
seen fit to change city superintend-
ents, the Herald, though opposed to
the change, will guarantee to the
new superintendent the same hearty
support on the part of friends of Mr..
Carman that he has received, and
naturally expects those who opposed
him to do likewise. Will they We
shall see.

Estimates on the wheat crop of
Berkeley county vary from 500, 900 to
TO, 900 bushels. After a few days
when the thresher does its work a
more accurate estimate can be made.
One thing is now certain: more wheat
was grown in this county this year
than in any previous year OF its his
tory, and at prices now ruling it will
handsomely repay the farmers and go
far toward again placing many on
their feet financially.

oLAss HOUSES are NOT sAFE.

Hedgesville Board of Education met
Monday and levied 33k cents for teach
ers' fund and 16s cents for building
fund. Teachers salaries remain the
same as last year 1913 for No. and
S25 for No. 2 The priHcipal of Hedges
vile graded school will receive $45 per
month and must be able to teach higher
algebra, second year Latin and geome-
try. We understand The Board prefers
first-cIass lady rather than second
rate gentleman. Herald.
Yes, this nasty old Snollygoster is
trying to run the country Boards Of
Education, Politics must be hauled
into the schools only for the gratiica-
ton of Mr.. Smith. Any man who is
a Democrat is only second rate
gentleman in the eyes OF the Herald
man, and no man educated in the
South can be a scholar. Statesman.
So, so. Trying to run the country
Boards of Education chr The last
sentence in the clipping from the
Herald was given on the suggestion
of member of the Hedgesville Board
and at his request, in the hope that
it might enable the Board to secure
the services OF a first class lady," he
being Of opinion that gentleman
of the required attainments could not
be had for the salary offered.
No reference was made to the for
mer principal of the school. He resign
ed of his own volition some months
since to accept position in Martins
burg and is not now an issue. That
he did good work there is attested by
the fact that one of his pupils, Willie
Ross, recently passed an examination
which admits him to the junior class
of Johns Hopkins, which was publish
ed exclusively in the Herald at that
time.
But it is not the Hedgesville school
which raises the ire of Mr. Boyer. He
is only using it as covering for an
other matter. He earnestly strove to
hoodwink the Martinsburg Board of
Education into employing as superin-
tendent of the city schools man after
his own heart, one who utterly and
totally failed as teacher in Hagers-
town, who resigned in the middle of
his term to avoid being discharged,
all OF which can be abundantly proven.
It is to be regretted that the States
man has forced us to be thus ex-
plicit. People who live in glass houses
should not throw stones.

The Dingley bill, now law, is one
ofthe best measures of the kind ever en-
acted and should stand for the next
twenty-five years. Ample protection,
not exorbitant, is given every in
dustry. Farmers fare especially well.
The wool schedule will again cover
our hills with sheep and the tariff on
sugar should establish a big sugar
mill in every congressional district at
least. The differential on sugar Chat
is, the difference between refined and
raw sugar is only one-eighth of a
cent against one fourth in the Wilson
bill. The profit of the Sugar Trust
Is this differential and as it has been
cut in two there is small force in the
charge that the Trust dictated the
terms. Sugar will not advance more
than half cent and we doubt if any
change occurs IN the price In the
meantime business will revive, labor
will be employed at fair wages and
good times to all will come once more.
For all of which the people are to be
thanked for electing a Republican
President and Congress.

stone in the progress of the Herald.
1t also reminds us of the fact that the
present management has been in
charge for four full years years Of
anxiety, and Of mental and physical
toll 1t has been no child's play to
successfully stem the tide OF adver-
sity which at times appeared to be
certain to overwhelm us. But here
we are today undismayed and hope
full of the future. The trouble has
not been lack Of support, it was not
that friends did not aid and encourage
us, but simply because the hard times
have been especially severe upon this
community.
The Herald has not been what we
would have been glad to make it, but
it has been the best we could do. We
hope for better things in the future.
With the revival of business that now
seems assured, with better crops and
better prices for farm products, with
more work and better wages for those
who toll, the Herald hopes to be re-
vivified and able to maintain its po-
sition in defense of the right against
all the foes of progress.
In political sense we have sue
ceeded beyond our most sanguine
anticipations. Four years ago the
blighting effect of the threat of free
trade was making itself felt. Now
the bene6cent beams Of Protection are
beginning to spread over the land.
Then the President was predicting
dire disaster to the business interests
OF the Nation. Now another pa
triot- in the same position is serene
ly confident that we are entering upon
an era of unparalleled prosperity.
Then Bourbonism was in control in this
State and free trade theorists misrep-
resented us in the Congress of the
United States. Now Republicanism
controls the Commonwealth and but |
one Democrat has a place in the
National councils, and his days are
numbered. Republican m al critics
have grown in this county, and this
Senatorial district--deemed the Gil
braltar of Democracy-has been cap
tured, whereof we rejoice
In this connection we wish to re.
turn thanks to the many good friends
who have so generously upheld US.
Without their assistance our efforts
would have been vain. Whatever we
have accomplished has been made
possible by their devotion. This is
the one thing to which we can look
back with unalloyed pleasure, and in
the years to come the memory OF their
steadfastness will be the brightest
page in our life's history.
Special attention is more than due
contributors and local correspondents,
who, without money and without
price, have SO materially aided us
The time may come when we can re-
ward them, if not, they will be at least
gratefully remembered.
And now, with malice toward
none and charity for all" we enter
upon the duties of another year, know
ing not what the future has i'll store,
but hoping to retain the friendship
of all with whom we have had to do
in the past and to enroll others, to
whom we tender the pledge-"Gome
thou with us and we will do thee
good"

The Statesman criticises the Board
OF Education for advancing the salary
of the principal of the High School.
1t forgets that the late Democratic
incumbent was gi9eA $1,000. If Mr..
Cole is the man we think he is, he is
worth every cent of the SIIoo. An
inferior teacher, such an one as the
Statesman advocated, would be cost
ly at any price, while an up-to-date
man, a teacher in the true sense is
worth all the Board agrees to pay
and more.

Winchester people are worried be-
cause one M. L. Payne was fined by
Justice Byers for assaulting negro
with hickory cane. The disturbance
last Thursday is a source of general
regret. No one questions the correct.
ness of Mayor Henshaw in fning the
negro for fighting. But the Payne
case is another matter. The negro
was beneath the white man strug-
Cling to get loose. Payne ran in and
struck him on the head which he had
no right to do. The white man was
in no danger. Several of his friends
were present and did not interfere.
Payne has habit of doing such
things as is proven by the records of
the Circuit Court. That negro is not
the first man he has struck in a like
manner and his assaults have not
been confined to negroes. We know
an inoffensive white man who suf-
fered at his hands. Again, the more
serious phase OF the matter was the
great danger of creating a riot Feel
ing ran high that day. Serious at
trays have grown from less causes.
Had another man acted as rashly as
Payne there is no telling what the
result would have been. Fortunately
he was the only one who attempted
to play the part of bulldozer.
