DIR. White as Regent.

The sentiment is gaining strength
rapidly over the State in favor of
DR.. l. c. White as a member of the
Board of Regents. The Doctor is
probably the most successful grad
uate ever turned out by the Uniyer-
sity as business man. He is a
man of excellent judgment, intimate
ly acquainted with the workings of
the school and it's peculiar needs, is
well known all over the United
States and would lend power for
good to the institution that the APP
pointment of no other man in the
State would give. He takes lively
interest in all the plans and pur-
poses of the University and would
not require several years of costly
educational period of learning that
is required by the average regent.
A petition will be presented to the
governor with the signature of every
student in the college on it asking
that this appointment be made. No
other act can be performed by the
governor which would exert as fa-
vorable influence ON every depart
ment of the University as this one
would.

West Virginia Farmers will soon Get
their Supply of seeds.

The annual distribution of seeds
by the agricultural department will
soon take place and West Virginia
will be among the first states to be
served. Preparations have been
made and the packages will be sent
out before long. The distribution is
earlier this year than usual but no
fault can be fonnd on that score as
the objection has generally been
that the seeds are not furnished
soon enough to permit planting in
season. The southern States will
be accommodated first and the north
ern congressman will not get their
supply until later. There will be no
hitch this yearin the distribution as
there has been in many instances in
the past. Secretary Morton made a
strong effort to stop the custom of
sending out the seeds every year but
the gentlemen at the capitol we're SO
determined in their fight for the
farmers that he had to obey their res
olutions and accommodate them.
Each congressman will have large
supply of both garden and flower
seeds for distribution to their CON
stituencies. They will have upwards
of eighty thousand packages apiece.
The West Virginia Senators and
Congressman are anxious to have
their supply go to the farmers of the
State so that none will be lost by
reason of faill re to order them sent
out. They ysill therefore welcome
requests for the garden and flower
seeds as they will have more packa-
ages than they have names on their
lists.

Not so very long ago but one sin
gle telephone connected Morgaatown
with the outside word and there
was absolutely no communication
from one place in town to another.
Now we have two splendid compa-
MES with hundreds of subscribers
in this vicinity. The G, d. and 2.
company have steadily advanced,
new phones being constantly added
until they now have about 125 sub
scribers in Morgantown. This great
increase has necessitated the install
ment of a new switchboard. This has
been ordered and will be set up i'm
mediately. Two operators will be
required constantly to work the
plugs when it arrives. Four people
are now employed here as operators
and their expenses are so heavy
that the local exchange has just be-
gun to pay expenses. Their success
is very gratifying to every one who
is interested in having Morgantown
enjoy the best of everything and has
been attained by strict adherence
to business methods in every way.
We congratulate them upon their
success and hope that it may be-
come greater and greater as time
goes on.

An exchange says that a county
superintendent In a neighboring
county recently asked every teacher
at the institute who took their local
paper to hold up their hands, and
out of about one hundred present
only six responded, at which he ex-
pressed his utmost surprise and said:
"You don't spend dollar year
with these papers, yet you expect
them to print free of charge, notices
of institutes, insert large programs
and full reports of what you say and
do on these occasions, and thus ex-
pect them to advertise you in your
chosen profession, thus assisting you
to climb the ladder to higher post
lions and better salaries without q
cents postage in return He closed
by saying: "Your conduct in this
matter would lead me, were l an
editor of these papers, to promptly
throw in the waste basket any COM
munications sent in by any society,
the members of which were too
poor or stingy to take paper, or

The Musgraye Case again.


The final argument i'll the celebra-
ted Musgrave case will occur at this
session Of the Supreme Court. The
session of the court begins on the
18th and the date for the re argu-
ment is the 10Th. No counsel will
appear on either side the case being
submitted through briefs. This
will make the third time that this
case has been submitted to the court
and final decision it would appear
is inevitable this time. What that
decision will be depends in great
measure upon the new member
Judge McWhorter. This is known
from the fact that the puzzling and
contradictory attitude of the court
was due to balance between the
members. So then which ever way
Judge McWhorter goes the decision
will 90. 1t is to be hoped that a
new trial will be granted and this
for several reasons. The strongest
one probably is this: there is Ger
tainly grave doubts as to the guilt
of the prisoner or something radical
ly wrong with some parts of the
case or there would not be such a
deeply rooted objection on the part
of several of the court in sustaining
the decision of the lower court. At
any rate it is to be hoped that an end
will be put to the harrassing delays
and uncertainties and final decision
rendered. Out of pity for Mus
grave we hope it may be favorable
Give him every possible chance in
the face of such doubts as certainly
exist. Temper justice with mercy
but when guilt is fully established
execute the sentence of the law Wig
orously.

Cut This Ont.

The Scientific American gives this
recipe, which, the whole world ought
to know:
"At the first indication of diph-
liberia in the throat of child, make
the room close, then take tin
cup and pour into it quantity of
tar and turpentine, equal part. Then
hold the cup over fire, so as to fill
the room with the fumes. The little
patient on inhaling the fumes will
cough up and spit out all mssnbran-
eous matter and the diphtlIetid will
pass out. The fumes Of the tar and
turpentine loosen the matter and re-
suits in the relief of what has baffled
the skill of physicians.
