The pinerence.


The difference between the Board
Of Of Re! Regents Of the University and an
other is the difference between pro-
gress and no progress
The difference between the pres
ent Board and some other Boards is
that the former did and the others
didn't.
The present Board has taken the
pains to inform itself of the needs of
the University and then has taken
the responsibility of doing what was
needed-not waiting to have the
Legislature endorse suggestions or
take the initiative or provide the
money in advance.
A University that has to wait I'M
til whole Legislative body has in
formed itself Of things it don't know
anything a5ous and can I appreciate
when explained, that must study
the needs Of an institution at dis
lance Of $50 miles; that must obtain
the consent of two bodies to the ap.
preparation of money for measures
of which those bodies are in doubt
or at least, imperfectly understand,
such an institution is indeed in lard
lines.
A Board Of Regents that has not
the courage of its own convictions
that is so timid and undecided that
it must wait the endorsement of
Legislative body before it will re-
spond to the demands of the Univer-
sity, will, instead Of serving the pur-
pose for which they were appointed,
defeat that purpose at every step.
What is Board Of Regents for
but to act as the channel through
which the needs Of the University
can be supplied? When Board
has once appropriated or expended
money for any of the reeds of the
University, ordinary or extraordina-
ry, the Legislature has never failed
to meet the demand. BIT in nine
cases out of ten when the Beard has
not first assumed the responsibility
for any measure and sought to throw
the responsibility Of deciding it on
the Legislature, the latter has re-
fused it-and properly so.
The University can have no pro-
gress without Board We are glad,
for the sake of the University that
it now has Board. More progress
has been made on deliaite lines in
the last two months than in any
similar period of time in it's history.
What the University needs the
Board don't haggle and hesitate
about it What the University has
lost by the higgling, hesitating pol
icy no one can estimate. Take the
single example of the exclusion of
women for the last thirty years.
What philosopher or statesman can
compute the loss to the University,
to the State and to humanity by
this narrow, scnseless policy. BY u
single little order, and five minutes
debate, the present Board wiped out
an unspeakable restriction that will
do more to popularize the Universe
ty than any single measure in its
history.
The difference betw, en- u Board
that does and one that doesn't is the
difference between progress and
stagn alton.

NOW AT WARRINGTON.
Natures Reredy Company in the Oil
Town = Their Good Record While
Here.

While in Warrington recently our
representative of this paper met Mr..
Charles Allen, manager of the Natures
Remedy company which was recently
in Morgantown. The company is
meeting with the same degree of sue
cess which attended their efforts in
Morgantown. Both in Fairmont and
Warrington the people were loud in
their praise Of the gentlemanly con-
duct of every one connected with the
show. There was not the slightest
complaint in either place. So far as
we can learn this ehyiable record has
been made everywhere they have been.
As for their remedies they speak
for themselves. Our readers are fa-
miliar with the Walter Tapp case
when an enormous tape worm was
removed. This did not cost the boy S
parents single cent. We think the
company has every reason to be proud
of its record and at no place has it a
better one than the one they made
while here.

OUR PREDICTION VERIFIED.
Fleming Gets the Fairmont POstoflice--
Some Curious Turns Hair Pulling
In Marion.

Some Curious Turns Hair Pulling
in Marion.
Last June the New DOMINION
stated that the name of the next
postmaster at Fairmont would be
Fleming. AT that time to an out
slider it looked like Fleming was the
last man in the race. The Fairmont
papers hooted at the idea and editor
Powell who was {. candidate made
great sport of it. However time has
vindicated our assertion. The next
postmaster will be A. Howard Elem
ing.
Yesterday that gentleman received
a telegram from Dayton telling him
that after consultation with FL
kins that the recommendation had
been made and that he was the
choice. When we made our prophe-
sy we knew what we were talking
about. The information was straight
and the only thing that would have
caused it to turn out differently
would have been that Dayton broke
a pledge made to Fleming
The appointment is making a
great row in Marion politics and
some very lively hair pulling is be-
ing INDUCED in.

APPLE BROKE HIS HEART
A Wheelman Meets With Fatal Acct
dent.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct, 23.--George
Hall, one Of the best known bicyclists
in town, met with a strange death
this afternoon. While coasting down
the steep hill at Daniels Farm he was
thrown from his wheel fiat upon the
ground. An apple in his pocket
pressed against his heart, causing a
blood vessel to burst. He died In
great agony before his companion,
+. G.. Leigh, could stop his machine
and return to him.
Hail and Leigh had been chest
nutting and during their rambles
through the woods filed their peck
cts with apples. They were In q
hurry to return home and imprudent-
" took the hill, which Il considered
dangerous even for the best riders.

Pittsburg. Fighting Tom Cooper, a
desperate set house ON fire and

Gov Tanner, of Illinois, has de
eided to call an extra session of the
Legislature for the purpose of reap
pointing members Of the legislature
and readjusting the boundaries of
Congressional districts. This means
II wholesale gerrymander in the in
tcrest Of the Republican party and
especially to the advantage of Tan
ner himself, who hopes by means OF
the legislative reappoitionment to
succeed Shelby NJ. Cullum, also a
Republican, In the United States
Senate The scheme thus takes on
factional as well as a partisan sig
hificance and it remains to be seen
what measures Senator Cullom will
take to defeat Tanners aims. Gov
Tanner is making himself even more
intensely unpopular than was Gov
Altreld.
