GOOD HUMOR In POLITICS.
Americans Enjoy Laughing at Them
selves as Well as at Others.

Youths Companion. The element
of exaggeration which enters largely
into all characteristic American hui
NOR finds full play in the opportun-
tiles of a presidential campaign.
Every public man has some foible
which can be made to furnish food
for mirth. Every public policy is
capable Of being grotesquely stated
by keen critic. 1t is a popularity
of Americans that they not only en-
JOY laughing at others, but they do
not mind being made to laugh at
themselves.
But to be effective in politics and
to commend itself to the people, hui
NOR must be good natured Humor
which carries with it the sting of
malice over-re reaches itself. The
American sense of fair play revolts
against Misrepresentation of senti-
ment or attacks upon character,
even when conveyed in cartoon or
a jest; and politicians have learned
that they 10 not pay. But there is
a kind OF humor so merry and good
tempered that even the objects of it
cannot choose but join in the laugh
which it arouses; and OF such hu
NOR we can hardly have too much,
as reiief%to the strenuousness of
our long presidential campaigns.

This city has forty Thousand inhablt-
ants and the streets were all replaced
with maeadam.
They had gotten into terrible con-
dition under Spanish rule and had To
be built entirely To bring them up To
the required standard. All OF this
Improvement was done nnder the difec-
tion of Mr.. Frazer. Uncle Sam did
work of this kind In all parts OF the
island and the debt has been placed
on the people for whose benefit It was
done. They will pay for it as their
revenues Justify.
Arrangements are being perfected
! for the declaration OF the Independ-
ence Of Cuba and in pursuance Of this
the engineers are being sent home.
Mr.. Frazer was one OF those affected

SCHOOLS OPEN.
Vacation Joys are Ended and
Tasks Begun.
School Children Gather in the Old
Rooms for Another Pleasant
Year-Preliminary Work Done on
Monday Regular Work Begins on
Tuesday Successful Year ahead.

The Public schools of Morgantown
resumed their annual task on Mon,
day morning after the summer vaca-
tion. All of the preliminary work of
enrolment was done and regular work
will begin on Tuesday morning. The
school children began to assem- bic at
an early hour and have worn holiday
garb all day while their expressions
have not been of such joyous ma
ture.
However children in Morgantown
go to school with better grace than
they do anywhere ia the state as they
like their teachers as much as It is
possible for them to do SO.
The teachers under direction of
Prof. Gallup are as follows:
Miss Taylor to Room Number one.
She will receive the new children in
the primary grade.
Miss Hull to Room number two.
She receives those promoted by
Miss Taylor
Miss Wood room number three.
She receives those promoted by Miss
Hull.
Miss Simpson room number four.
She receives those promoted by Mrs.
Martin.
Miss Brand room number five
She receives those promoted by Miss
Simpson.
Miss Shisler room number six.
She receives those promoted BY Miss
Carrie.
Miss Kunkle room number seven.
She receives those promoted by Miss
Brand
Miss Wotring room number eight
She receives those promoted by Miss
Shisler and those from lower grade
promoted by Miss Kunkle.
Miss Carrie room number nine.
She receives those promoted by Miss
White and two upper grades from
Miss Kunkle.
In the High School Miss Hodges,
Prof. Plumb and Prof. Gallup will
offleiate.
Miss Curry who was recently cleo
ted will have charge of the school
on the Avenue.
An examination is being held to
day at the public school building
for Prof. Plumb and Miss Curry
School begins on next Monday morn
ing and it will start off with every
indication of successful year.
Mrs. Martin is not here this year
nor is Miss White, Mr. Barbe nor
Prof. Kline. All Of these teachers re-
signed and they are missed by every
one. Prof. Plumb takes Prof Kline 5
place and Miss Curry that of Mr..
Barbe on the Avenue. Miss Wood
goes into the public school which has
one teacher less this year than last.
The indications are for a very sue.
cessful years work as last year was
the best ever experienced. The teach
ing force is united and progressive.
Morgantown's future which depends
largely on the children now growing
up will be safe in their hands II their
training has anything to do with their
capacity to take up the task before
them.
