MODERN NEWSPAPERS.
There Are No Preiudioes In the Way Of
the New Journalist.

There Are No Prejudices In the Way Of
the New Journalist.
The new journalist has no prejudices
that interfere with his business ends.
The founder of his school was the first
man to make an absolutely nonpartisan
paper, and the successful men l talked
with declared that the best way COM
mercially to make an editorial page
was to turn il over to some man with
mind and character who would direct
its policy independently and in good
faith in the interests Of the community
as whole, regardless Of parties,
cliques, advertisers or any other inter-
ests, however powerful. But while this
is being done the business man who
proposes to conduct the enterprise
would have an equally independent
news department, and, having the most
intelligent readers to begin with, he
would broaden the news policy from
their point of view, spending as much as
sensationalism costs for more important,
better written news. In short, the COM
mercial ideal contains distinct apprecia-
tion of the power Of opinion, but it
prizes just as highly the value of the
authoritative statement of all the news
"There's not room for many such
newspapers, but that's the kind that
would live and pay forever" said my
new commercial journalist. j. Lin
coin Steffeps in Scribner's.

HIS FAVORITE SONG.

Hiss Katherine Huntington Sings 'Touisi-

Lou, Lou, love you
Yes, do; that's true.
Don't sigh, don't cry.
I'll meet you in the morning.

Yes, do; that's true.
Lou-we-e-e-si-a-a-ana
Lou.we-e-e.si.a.a-ana,

This is the chorus of the song which
President Mckinley most likes to hear.

words or the air to which they are sung
Or both. 1t is limited that the singer has
something to do with it, for he was first

And this is the Truth.

A correspondent to the DAILY NEW
DOMINION a few days ago. commend
ed the Board of Regents of the Uni
versity for going out of the State for
the assistants in the preparatory de
partment and for other teachers. We
feel like giving the Board loyal
support and commend everything
it does, in the hope that its Efforts
will result in making the University
the school we all want, but we would
dislike to have established as a rule
that our teachers need not apply for
positions there. This in our opinion
would not be fair to our young men
besides it might prove a dangerous
policy. Our teachers are educated
here, they understand our own peo-
pie and by their being employed in
the school they would form strong
tie between the University and the
people of our own state Those West
Virginians now in the faculty are as
capable and are giving as good sat
isfaction in their respective places
as any one brought from any other
State could possibly do. We donot
think that place should be given
to a graduate of the University just
because he is a graduate, but should
he give evidence Of the required
ability and is in every way equal to
his opponents who are graduates of
other schools, the West yirginian
should have the preference And so
says every graduate of the Universi-
tv and every West Virginian who
thinka upon the subject.-Indec.

the equal in Harrison or any other
county so far as good prime condi-
ton is concerned. Wednesday he
bought seven steers Of Clint Bishop.
four of which averaged l,O09 pounds
each. Of Spencer Crane he bought
eleven. four of which averaged LOGS
each. 1t is gratifying to know that
Preston county cattle show up so
well and Mr.. Jamison was very
frank in his statements and seemed
proud to speak of the great amount
OF number one cattle he had found
here. Jacob Sisler, of Glade Farms

WHAT THE COMMITTEES DID.
Leading Republican PAPER ON Constitu.
tiOnal Revision.

The Parkersburg Journal, COM
menting on the work Of the special
committee on revision. of the con
stitution, says:
A careful reading of Chairman
Fast'S able summary and explanation
of the committees work, fully sub
Stimulates what we have said of the
report. The report reduces taxation,
provides for taxing corporations on
their business, aims to relieve the
farming classes of unjust burdens of
taxation, cuts down county taxes,
gives the people fair chance TO vote
on the fee system, and in many ways
refers to the people for settlement,
questions on which the people desire
an expression OF opinion. We con-
slider the work done by the committee,
on the whole, to be well done. The
question now is, shall the labors of
this committee be wasted? Shall the
people have an opportunity TO pass
upon its work? PROFESSIONALLY, ac-
cording to our observation, the people
desire to amend their organic law and
pass upon the questions raised in
this report. 1t can never be done
more OPPORTUNITY or cheaply, in our
Judgment, than now. How it is to
be done we do not pretend TO decide;
but we do congratulate the committee
on the careful and conscientious
work done, on the respect shown the
peoples wishes, and on the evident
aim to submit to the people the
matters they wish to decide by their
votes.

TO BE RECONSTRUCTED
The Contract for Heating and yentil-

Some time ago it seemed certain
the contract for heating the new
public school building would be let
to the Peck, Williamson Co, of Cincin-
natl, their bid seeming to be the
lowest. Some investigation showed
that this system required some adj
dition to the building that would
make it cost much more in the
end than the Other bid, In other
words while Inc S iced, Wills Cos
bid was the highest. it is in reality
cheat e., because it does not require as
much additional work to prepare for
1T This being the case, the board
held meeting last night and rescind-
eel It's former action and decided to
give the whole matter re-hearing on
Tuesday night next. The develop
ments in thecase may put a different
phase on it altogether. Discussion
and Investigation will no doubt enable
The board to yet get the best, cheap
est and most satisfactory system.

some Post Office Rules.

When you call at the postoffice for
your mail and the postmaster hands
it out, ask him if that is all. If YOU
ask him for your mail and he tells
you there is none, tell him there
ought to be, then 60 home and send
the rest of the family around at diff
ferent times of the day.
Don't bring your mail to the office
until the mail closes, then sail into

mail bag, and putting your letter in
When you want stamp on your
letter tell the postmaster to put it
on; if he don't lick it, kick him. In
case you put it on yourself, soak it
in your mouth long enough to re-
move the mucilage, it will stick
until dry. Be sure to ask the post
master to credit you with stamp
II he has any accommodation about
him he will do it. If you have a

ter hands out your mail. 1t will

Who is to Blame?

Since the announcement of the next
postmaster at this place has been
made, speculation is rife as TO who
was responsible for the appointment.
Each of the defeated candidates have
received official information that he
could not be appointed and different
reasons are given in each case. Each
of the prominent aspirants have a
number of letters which would make
interesting reading if published now
and might throw some light on the
situation. A gentleman who has seen
several of the letters received by the
defeated candidates, says that they do
not agree.
Dayton says that he had nothing
TO do with the selection: that he ia
vored Arnett. but was crowded out
by Elkins and had no more to say
about the appointment ethan poor
boy has at husking" while Mr.. Ell
kins contends that the selection was
a compromise; that he favored Powell,
Mr.. Dayton Arnett, and as a compro-
mise, Col Fleming was selected.
We expect this is about the truth of
the matter but it is a sad comment
airy upon the influence of a Congress-
man to have it stated that he cannot
control the appointments of the post
masters in his own district, when he
is in accord with the administration.
