Mr.. Extraordinarily allow me to make
in your value paper a complaint that l
made a year ago be fore the County Com
missioners and which received no redress,
viz-That there is a section OF road IN
front of Messrs. Evans and Lewis, near
Clinton, that every year gets impossible,
not only for heavy hauling but also for
buggies. 1t has been in this unseemly
condition for the last eight years. l and
some others called on the County Com
missioners last year, when they were
wasting $500 on new road that day after
day has not even single vehicle travel it,
as it parallels and goes between two roads
running to Washington, and these two
roads only about 2 miles apart. At that
time was promised that the road would
be fixed then and there. Then a contro-
yersy was started as to whether John b.
Lewis had encroached on the road or not.
| Two of the Commissioners were appointed
| to look into the matter; afterwards COM
mission of three of our best men was Sc
| lected, and enough paid witnesses sum-
| moned to fix a goodly portion of the road
| And various other expedients were fol-
| lowed too numerous to mention. After
everything was decided and after uselesstg
costing good amount of money and no
| little labor the matter was cleverly dropped
entirely l saw Mr.. Wallace R. Pyles, our
Commissioner from our district, in the
| early part of this winter and asked him If
| he would not fix the aforesaid road, whicl.
| would then only cost the price Of gravel
| ling and was told this startling piece OF
news: That as soon as the road became
impossible he would fix it, The cost
| now of polling, travelling, &c will be at
| least four times what it would have been
had he done it when requested. | told
him my four-horse team went to Washing
ton daily, averaging me about 500 per
day, and that should bring salt against
the county for the enforced idleness of
said team when the road became impass-
able.

barely get my buggy through to carry my
child to school. Is it for this sort Of
Legislation, gentlemen, that we pay taxes?
Will we allow our public servitors to tell
us to wait till roads get impossible before
they are fixed; costing them quadruple
the required amount to repair them?
No wonder our legislature is deyising
means to establish another road system
and to put it in other hands.
Democrats and Republicans alike, if
they are taxpayers and have the interest
of the county at stake, will gladly wei
come any sort of reform that will give
relief from such horrible mismanagement
and such burlesque on road -mendng.

Pensions for School Teachers.

Senator Williams, of Hartford, has intro
duced bill to add section to the public
school law providing for pensioning pub
lie school teachers of the State on certain
conditions. These conditions are that
the teacher must have teachers certiti-
cate, had twenty-five years service in the
public or Normal Schools with good
record, reached the age of sixty years and
with physical disqualification for further
service. With these qualifications and
disqualification the teacher is to receive
life pension equal to one third of the
average annual salary received during
the teaching period.
This law taken in connection with the
proposed reorganization of the schools,
as provided in pending bill, will place
the school system of the State on an APP
Nor is the law under consideration without
precedent. Such laws are in force in
several States and produce good results.
If they are beneficial in other States, we
sage of this law, that the cause of educa-
ton will be advanced in Maryland. If it
is the small appropriation (S10,000) pro-
vided in the bill will be money we'll spent.
recognizes the value of this retired pay,
by providing for its army and navy
officers three quarters salary after the
age limit (62 years. is reached, without
disqualitication-and Congress has not
been slow to give $4,000, 900 annually
to its soldiers after they have been reliev-
ed of active duty.
The teachers are paid as much, perhaps
as the State can now afford to give them,
but they are not paid in accordane with
services rendered-and if they could look
to the time when they are compelled to
lay down their life work, with the expec-
tatlon that there was modest competence
awaiting their declining years, it would
encourage them to greater effort and re-
concile them to their profession, which
many best equipped relinquish because of
the unpromising future.
The public school teachers of the State
are among our most useful citizens. They
require years of diligent study and train
ing to qualify them for their profession
and by their precept and example dc
more to inculcate knowledge and raise
the standard of excellence in the grow
| ing generation than any other class OF
citizens. They should be encouraged il
their work and rewarded in accordance
with the labor expended and the goot
accomplished -H 10 Il Dem ,c.'at.

MORE SPEED THAN DEcEScY.
Board of Regents is Acting with Very
Great Folly In Dealing With Uniyer-
sitY Matters.

The republican majority in the
board of regents of the University
are determined to make republican
political school out of it, and they
are making good Roadway in that
direction says the Parkersburg Sen
tinel. They are firing out the dem
ocratic teachers with some speed,
more speed than decency, but that
makes no difference to them. 1t is
necessary that this state institution
of learning shall be made hos bed
of republican political inspirations,
and to that end the State University
must be differed by none but true
blue politicians. The action of the
republican majority in the board OF
regents in dispensing with the ser
vices of the democratic teachers, be-
cause they are democrats, regardless
of whatever fiction may be rendered
as the reason for their action, is the
source of general condemnation.
With free love advocates and teach
ers on the moral proposition. and
teachers Of republican politics on
other lines the school cannot pros
per. And if such policies are con
tinued it has no right to prosper
The West Virginia University is
not sectarian school, nor it is an
endowed institution. It is main
tanned by taxation levied upon all
the people of the State alike, wheth-
er they be Democrats, Republicans,
Populists, or something else. The
school depends for its very existence
upon the State treasury, upon the
inflow of taxes taken from the peo-
pie. Its patronage is non political
and non UNCONVENTIONAL. It's admin
istration should likewise be free
from all ties, whether they be church
or politics. 1t should, first of all,
be partisan school, school
Tor the education of youth, and
above and beyond everything else
it should be a school whose admins
tration is untainted with immoral
teachings or political bias. The
teachers who were removed were not
given day in Court. No charges
were preferred against them, there
was no trial, nor were they envited
or permitted to be heard in their
own behalf. 1t was star chamber
affair, as unfair and unjust, if not
as dishonorable, as the work of an
inquisition in the middle ages. But
it is characteristic of the present
State administration, piece of
work quite in keeping with Weston
Asylum nastiness, and no more de-
feasible.
