love for music will have the effect to
keep our boys In school. Parents. see to
1t that the books are furnished your
boys. and also use your influence 10
have them learn to sing, and YOU will
never regret It.
The influence OF music in the gov
ernment of u school. has been limited at
in these notes, but 1t will do no harm
TO repeat It. There is nothing that so
cucbs the unruly nature that needs to
be curbed, as TO sing a SONG full Of
meaning. led by n teacher whose whole
soul Is In the work. Those teachers
who love music and know Just how TO
teach 1t are the ones who have but lit
tie trouble In the government Of their
respective rooms. May the time never
come, in the history OF our schools. when
the study OF music will be discontinued.
but may everything in reason be done
to make It's influence more fully felt.
In some of the dispatches sent out
from the state capital. 1t Is irtimated
that our state university will not get
half the appropriation asked. II this be
true, all We have TO say is that it would
be pity TO cripple our leading institu-
ton for lack Of funds. 1t is also Init
mated that the standard Of scholar-hip
has been lowered at the university. and
that Mr.. Raymond, the president, is not
the right man for the place. The wri-
ter has been close observer for years
past, as TO the affairs of the university,
and he does not hesitate to say that the
one who says that the standard of
scholarship of our university is lowered
Is simply mistaken. and he believes
that thus far DR.. Raymond has proved
himself the right man for the place. A
mans fitness for a position Is shown by
his work. The educators Of West Nir-
ginia rs far as the writer knows, are
unit In saying that in the president OF
the university they find an educator
who is abreast Of the times, and IL let
alone oar university cannot fail to
prosper under, his management.

nerves--that strews the world with human wreck.

and muscles become weak. A noticeable failure
of strength ensues. A feeling of exhaustion
follows. Sleeplessness is the next symptom of 4

The Philippine Question.

Certain parties are disposed to
embarrass the President in his
management of the Philippine Is.
lands. Instead of endeavoring to
remove the obstacles interposed by
unprincipled men, they contribute
to increase them. Such conduct is
reprehensible and stamp the pre-
tended moralists as traitors to their
country. The claim that the Philip
mos are patriots fighting against
oppression is mere bolderdash.
Our government does not wish to
oppress them or deprive them of a
single privilege consistent with their
own good. Had the American army
been withdrawn on the adoption of
the protocol, the Spaniards would
have continued the struggle to es-
tablish the authority of Spain, and
the war would have been continued
until one party would have become
exhausted. There would, conse-
qucntly, have been as great a num-
Der of lives sacrificed, with little
prospect of peace for years to come.
1t was stoprevent this continued war
fare that the American army inter-
fered and with the intention OF es-
tablishing Republican form of
Government as soon as the Philip-
nos showed that they could be safe
ly trusted to obey the laws and act
the part of good citizens. AS soon
as this point is reached we have no
doubl the American troops will be
withdrawn, and Republican instl-
tutions instituted. Until the Phil
ipinos evince power to govern them
selves, this Government is under
obligations to use force in order to
compel a peaceful solution of the
present difficulty. In olden times
the sword was used to subjugate
barbarians and prepare the way
for higher and more Christian civ
ilization and it seems that the same
instrument is necessary to lead to
reform of abuses and proper vslu-
alton OF the principles that must
eventually rule all nations. Our
Government seems to have been Sc
lectcd as an agent to accomplish n
great work, and to back out of the
task and sit supinely down, would
seem little short of cewardice.
