THE STATION ESCAPED.
During the Savage Criticism of the
University Station Management Re-
ceiyed None.
Fairmont Index.


+ During all OF the turmoil which
lately disturbed the quiet of the I'm
iversity, the Station escaped I'M
touched. No just criticism could
have been made against its manage
ment or its work Some people might
have differed with the management
as to the character OF the praetiea-
bility of some of the work under
taken. but no one could say but that
all work done was done intelligently
and within the scope of the work de
signed for the Station to do The
enemies of the Station could not let
il continue to pursue its peaceful
course without some criticism.
Doubtless they had some difficulty
in getting responsible party to
father any article of censure, but f.
nally they got an irresponsible stu
dent to write an article to one Of the
leading weekly papers of the State,
and the editor allowed it to slip In
without giving the matter any inves
tigation, and apologized for its ap
Pearanee in its next issue The
writer OF that article is well known,
aut he is not TO be blamed as much
as are those gentlemen, who were
the promoters Of the scheme This
student was pet of the fallen dy-
nasty and wanted to curry favors.
and as at that time favors could only
be secured by boot licking certain
fparties, he assumed the role of crit
ieiser Of the Station. His effort fell
still born because everyone aequaint-
ed with the situation knew the ami
mus which inspired it. Lately we
have noticed in one or two OF the lead
ing State papers articles criticising
the Station and from the ear marks we
are inclined to believe they emanated
from the same source. They do not
express the feelings of the writer,
for he can surely know but little
about the matters of which he writes,
but he is giving vent to the spleen
of other parties in whose favor he
hopes to ingratiate himself. His
own standing at the University is
not tae best and it may need sus-
tanning and he could more proftably
employ himself in his own behalf
and permit others to wash their own
dirty linen. So much for those crit
icisms and their author We do not
feel called upon to uphold the Sta
ton. Its work speaks for itself 1t
is going along doing what it was
established to do in most intelli
gent manner, and is accomplishing
great work for the benefit of the
farmers and we have so far not
heard one lust criticism upon it's
management. That an effort has
been made to injure it and to curb
it's usefulness no one will deny, but
we in common with a great majority
of the friends of the University hope
that those troubles are about at an
end and that our great University
which is supported by West Virgin
ia, will be devoted to the advance
ment of the youth Of our own State
be conducted in manner pleasing
to the people who give it life and
support, and instead of intoxicating
into our youth the idea that nothing
good can come from West Virginia
inspire them with the belief that
West Virginia is one of the greatest
States in this Union and that for
the young men, no State holds great
er inducements than can be found
here within our own borders. The
man or set of men who decries and
belittles the customs and usuages of
| a State Is an enemy of its neonle.
