WORE CON" PLEASANTNEsS

People are said to be born to be
happy, but we doubt the theory and
believe that in practical life, people
will differ, and temper, suspicion and
ofLtimes malice get the sway. Now
we find our editorial friends, Messrs.
Smith and Boyer CLOSING one an
other over in shining garments of
refined conglomeration as to who
runs the School Board. They do
rot 60 into the book trust, which
may or may not need an inyestiga-
ton, as charges these times will be
extremely severe upon parents to
buy new BOOKS, but they do pound
away at each other as to who runs
the school boards. We are not in
the rut, but the Board Of Education
should do it, and get the best posi-
BILE material TO so manage the
schools. There should not be in
competency in any position in the
school rooms. Meanwhile, few
missionary tracts might be forward
ed the contentious brethren.

THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENCY
The President of the Board of Re-
gents of the University has called a
meeting at which president will be
elected to succeed Or. Goodnight,
who was removed in June, and
Director of the Experiment Station
to succeed DR.. John A. Myers. The
chair of modern languages will be
filled, and Prof. E. II. Vickers, q
graduate of the University and also
of Yale and q German University,
will in oil likelihood be chosen to
fill it. Mr.. Vicker's home is at
Shepherdstown. The contest for
the presidency is between DR.. E. NJ.
Turner and the field, and DR.. Turn.
er's chances are so good that many
consider the matter practically set
tied. James II. Stewart. of Putnam
county, has the greatest strength
for DR.. Myers position, but big
fight is being made against him on
political grounds. Prof. J. 1. Har-
vey, who was not reelected to the
chair of modern languages at the
June meeting of the regents, will
be given subordinate position in
the school. He has been a profess
sor at the Univertity for twenty-five
years.

THE OUTLOOK.

Notwithstanding the strikes, the
outlook is for better times for the
farmer and the business people. No
one class of men or industry can be
permitted TO seriously interfere with
the general welfare of the country.
II there is to be any preference in
good results, the farmers should
have it. With the bountiful crop
that they are now getting and adj
vanced prices, they can again be
able TO become the mainstay, and
the solution of business problems.
Such is the outlook at present, and
we hope it will advance without a
break.

The strikers in the coal mines have
thus far been very conservative. The
agitators have not been able to i'm
press the laboring men that they
should not work. w. Va. miners
have been holding on firmly and
working in the mines. Therefore
the agitators come in from a dis
lance to make trouble, and reach the
miners pocket. Thus far, the min
ers have shown the greater sense,
aud we hope they will continue so
to do.

THE FINEST IN THE STATE.-The
Pittsburg Post says: "The present
Baltimore & Ohio management ought
to be proud OF the record made at
Chicago, where it is openly admit
ted that the new Royal Blue Line
trains are the finest that enter the
Grand Central depot. Since the re.
painting and remodeling of the roll
ing stock the Baltimore & Ohio has
earned quite a reputation for fine
looking passenger trains, but when
the people at the Grand Central at
Chicago openly admit that the Bal.
timore & Ohio has the finest trains
entering the building the managers
ought to be elated. The praise
given the Baltimore & Ohio at the
windy city is deserved, as the new
trains are certainly very neat in
teriorly and exteriorly.

THE BICYCLE HUsTLERs.-It is
surely q fact that the bicycle has
come to stay. More have been sold
this year than ever before, and the
season has only begun. Our own
city is certainly keeping pace with
the times and it is really amazing to
see how many are being used here.
BARR & LANTz can we'll be called
"The Bicycle Hustlers," from the
way they have been selling wheels.
A customer simply has to see their
line to know that they can save them
money in the purchase of a good
wheel. Among the many wheels
that have been sold here. there is
one which certainly deserves special
mention, viz "The United States. y
While it is not the only good wheel
made, it has certainly reached the
highest pinnacle of bicycle perfec-
tion, up-to.date, and any expert in
metal work, can readily see that it
costs more to manufacture it, than
any other on the market. The BIZ
cyclists of this place are blessed by
being close to the firm of BARR &
LANTZ.

WANTS BUTLER 70 RESIGN



watson Declares Him limit For the
P0pulist Craftsmanship.
Atlanta, Ga. July 22.-In his Peoples
Party paper of this week Thomas F..
Watson calls on Senator Marion But
Ter to resign the national chairman
ship of the Peoples Party. He says:
With Butler at the head Of our host
the host is not going to march wehave
had enough of Butler and Butierism
He has deceiy US. and IS deceiving
US now. He is in collision with our
foes, just as Allen is. We cannot fight
fusion with q fusicrist in command
There is no sense in trying it. This
party is entitled to a chairman who
is in sympathy with its policy as de-
clared at Nashville. Populism cannot
go to success unless a Populist leads
g leader who puts principles above the
offices, and who realizes the deadly
mistake Of putting our party into cor
rupt bargainings for office with its
foes. Let Mr.. Butler resign. Let us
have Washburn or Reed for a chair
man. Let US have an official head in
whom the rank and file put conf
dence."

Mr.. Mckinley finally sent mes
sage to Congress on the currency
question, advising the appointment
of commissioner, without regard o
political parties, to formulate and
report q plan that would benefit and
increase the currency of the country.
1t was adopted by the House and not
acted on by the Senate. This is
dangerous business. When you begin
to retire the greenbacks, the Nation
al Bank notes becomes a matter
of serious import, and it touches
and affects all commercial and bust
ness interests of the country, which
are now settled on that basis, and
which have behind them for solidity
both gold and silver basis. Such
notes are used in par with coin, and
attemptsat disintegration or a change
in such monetary system will natural
ly cause distrust. 1t is q matter wor-
thy of careful consideration and of
the utmost prudential judgment.
