sour Own Songs is the name of a
new volume Of poems now in press
by James Brainerd Morgan, editor
of the Gerardstown Times. Mr..
Morgan is member of the West Va.
Editorial Association and will read
poem at the meeting here on the

a COUNTRY editor puts the old ques-
ton in new shape and says to his
subscribers: "Brother, don't stop
your paper just because you don't
agree with the editor. The last cab
bage you sent us didn't agree with us
either, but we didn't drop you from
our subscription list on that ac.
count
A FEW days ago when we said
thirty thousand militia and ten
thousand regulars were to be taken
from Fortress Monroe to Cuba some
people smiled at the idea but since
the government has bought num-
Der of transports and has announced
that strong force will shortly be
dispatch ed to invade the island the
statement will not seem so absurd.
THE West Virginia Editorial Assoc
citation will meet at Morgantown on
May IL, IL and ID, and large at
tendance of the profession is expected.
The program for the three days is
made up Of many good things, besides
the discussion of matters important to
the association. The citizens of Nor
gantown have provided large quanti-
ties of genuine hospitality for which
that city has made itself famous
throughout the state. Wheeling In

DURING the war which is now in
progress it would be q good idea for
everyone to put. out the flag. This
has been done pretty generally all
over town but an increase in the
number displayed would be all right.
The flag stands for so much and the
struggle which is now going on is
such righteous one that it has the
approval OF all. Let your sympathy
with the down trodden Cubans and
the brave boys in blue who are 60
ing to their rescue be shown by the
liberal display Of the national colors.
The var has struck Morgantown
hard. Even the kids are practicing
war like maneuvers in order to be
in shape to demolish the Spaniards
if the feet should happen to come
up the river. Two of them were
tooling day or so since with a
small revolver when it was discharg-
ed and the ball entered the hand of
one of the urchins who at once lost
all his patriotism and desire to
kill the Spaniards and began to
howl However the wound was not
serious and he will soon forget that
he received it.
The sight of mother 60 years
old, marching by the side of her son
with her head bowed down with sor-
row, as he was leaving for the war
at Chicago last Sunday was very
pathetic one indeed. Yet it is only
one instance of many thousands of
similar acts of heroism and sacrifice
of which the world hears nothing.
How many of those who go to fight
the battles of their country but
leave a father, mother, wife or
sweetheart behind to pray and watch
and hope and fear for their return?
Yet this is war for which many have
been clamoring and impatient.
THE roads are in very fair shape and
that fact drew many people out yes
terday in carriages and on wheels.
The road to Cheat took the most of
those who were out. Many of them
went over to the hotel but a number
Of them only went as far as the new
club house on this side of the river.
The road was excellent as far as
EastOn and in fair condition from
there out to the river. In town there
were large numbers Of people out
walking and looking at the improve
ments made during the bad months.
In every direction might be seen groups
Of sightseers on the hills about town
taking in everything that was to be
seen. The day was the first real
spring-like day that we have had and
its influence on the number of people
out of doors was very noticeable.
THE Baltimore Sun very properly
remarks, anent the "curfew' agita-
ton, that the ''curfew may be a good
thing for boys and girls in towns
and villages, or cities even, but their
parents should ring the bell, not the
bailiff." This is the whole question
in nut shell. IfparenJs would ex-
crcise the proper parental govern
ment over their children, there
would be no necessity for the sour
few law nor any other mandatory
edict Of municipalities looking to
the discipline ST young America, y
