board expresses appreciation OF the
petition presented by certain stu

CANT BLAME THEN.
Professors Should be Paid more money
or they win Have to go Elsewhere.

Commenting on the recent resigna-
tions of several of the members of the
faculty of the University the Wheel
ing News has the following to say:
A half dozen members of the facul-
ty have recently resigned. They have
done so because they can get more
money elsewhere. They under these
circumstances considered themselves
underpaid. In an interview one of
those who left is quoted as follows:
II have resigned because my salary
is too small. The cost OF living has
advanced forty per cent in the last
two years, and our salaries, small to
begin with, have remained stationary.
1t is impossible to more than exist
with the present salary and 1t is ut
teriy impossible to expend anything
for additional culture along the lines
Of our specialties. Sixteen hundred
dollars a year means a seant living TO
professor with family in this
place"
The man can't be blamed. Some Of
the best instructors at Morgantown
get only 81, 900 or 81, 200 year while
full professors draw only 81, 600 The
legislature ought to remedy this state
of affairs at the next session. The
teaching profession is lily paid and a
more liberal policy should be adopted.
Capable and ambitious men are not
going to work for small salaries and
the state should pay the teachers OF
its youth much better than it does.
Here is place where little extrava-
ganee would be excusable, for our
state university cannot be TOO good.

Of thousands Of workmen, and for the
patent rights for which $40, 900, 600 IS
said to have been offered were put in
practical operation today at Alexan-

Glass Company. Twelve of the ma
chimes, which will make unnecessary
the services of blowers, gatherers and
snappers, have been installed in the
old Depauw factory

John Lubbers, and the patents are
owned by himself and President
James A. Chambers, Vice President
M. X. Cullen, General Manager Geo.
E. Moore and Director t. Hart Given
of the American Window Glass Com
pany.
The combine expects to exploit the
machines under royalty system,
which will make for the company half
of the profits from the use OF the in
vention. Samples of work done by
the machine are said TO show none OF
the flaws caused by the present meth
cd Of blowing. Patents have been
either taken out or applied for in all
the countries Of the world where there
are patent offices.

Voters Tired of Fight.

"The voters in the. city and county
had in the preceding two or three
elections shown their disapproval of
this factional fight, and this disap-
prevail had rested quite as much upon
the committees chosen to manage po-
li,ical campaigns as upon the candi
dates themselves. The present can
dllates are not identified with these
factions, and they earnestly desired
to select for the head of the party
committee a man not identified with
either. The personal element had
very little to do with their choice.
They chose, after consultation with
men of all factions, Mr.. Rowland, a
young lawyer of excellent standing,
who met the demands of the situa-
ton. To show that personal choice
had little to do with his selection, 1t
may be said that one of three federal
officials, who afterward made up the
opposing slate, congratulates himself
that he was the very first to sug-
gest the name of Mr.. Rowland, upon
whom, at a later time, all candidates
agreed, and this agreement seemed
to be everywhere acquiesced in.

Telephones on Fast Trains.l

On some of the best railway trains
of the day telephones form a part of
the equipment. The system is so ar
ranged that when the cars stop in
large stations connections can be made
with the regular telephone circuits Of
the cities. This service, it is an
nounced, is to be improved and ex-
tended. 1t is one of the notable feat
ures of modern railway progress.
In these days when even the ship
far out. at sea holds communion with
distant shores and with unseen COM
panions ON the deep, it seems almost
an anomaly that train, always on
solid land and always within view,
should be even for moment cut off
from the field of converse. Undoubt.
edly, a development not long to be de-
layed is that which will bring into tel
phonic range the express speeding as
well as the express at rest.
What marvel of comfort and con-
venience will be worked when the
tourist for pleasure or business can
"ring up" from his parlor-car seat the
home, the office, the club, for such
communion as the impulse or emer-
gency of moment may dictate!-New

in Jims life, and that object lived on
the street back of all the fine folk
whose entrances We're kept so immacu-
late. Whatever romance may have
been his in the past there was no evi-
dence of it now. No lOcket-encased
photograph lay next his heart never to
be parted with in this life. He did
not need a photograph of her. She
was present in the living flesh, adorned
with multfarious curl-papers every
morning when he dragged the hose out
of the little shed and with the cool
water made the tiny garden green and
fresh. "She," still enjoying the com
forts and delights of single blessed
ness, lived all alone in the house, pos
sessed of just enough income to pro-
vide the necessities and a few of the
luXuries of life. How Jim ever dared
aspire to her is n mystery. But some
faint glimmer of former responsibility
combined with the longing to be COM
fortably settled urged him on.
"Her" steps were cleaned oftener
than twice a week, and they We're al
ways spotless, for she had some of
the propensities of old Aunt Betsy
Trotwood. and at the first click of the
gate could be heard, not the cry
"Donkeys, Janet; donkeysw but the
sharp admonition, go round to the
back door, please" 1t was doubtless
this very quality in her that first won
Jim's heart, for combine his beloved
steps with such a woman and what
more could be desired on this earth.
But in spite of his daily attention and
devotion she seemed perfectly salts
fed with the services he could render
outside the family, and even took oc-
casion to show her superiority ard in
difference to men in general in no
doubtful way.
But Jim played his cards like an old
hand. He suddenly disappeared from
her world Her surprise on the first
morning of his absence was followed
by dismay when the next man she
| hired came staggering into the kitchen
| one morning to ask for the "wathel
| and the sthep-sthone," and his success
| sor presented himself wi Ii the gardel
hose and left for parts unknown.
| One morning, after a month of sucl
annoyance, she poked her cur'raperet
head OFT of the window and saw tn

whlteness. the hose playing gayly Il

wildly striding after a stray dog that
had inadvertently set one dirty paw
on the forbidden ground. She heaved
sigh of relief and made her way
downstairs.
"Wel, jim" she called from the
door, wherever we you been this long
time?'
Jim came shambling in.

a legacy, and how much is it?"
"Ten thousand dollars" said jim.
"You see, 1 happen to be one of the
heirs to an old chap over in England.
That's bout enough to support a wife

But the girls nowadays they air too

take no kind O pride in their front

down, but they amt no such woman

"Well, Jim, you did good Job on
those steps this morning, and I'm glad
to have you back again. Why, such a
time as I've had! Say, Jim, you
haven't had your breakfast, have you?
You Just go out and pull those weeds
out of the tomato bed and I'll have 1t
ready in a jiffy. How much did you
say you got, Jim? Ten thousand doh
lars? That's pretty little sum, Jim.
A pretty little sum-"
And that's the way 1t happened. In
less than a week Miss Capen had Jim
arrayed from head to heels in new ap-
parel and they had taken a trip to st.
Joe and got "spliced," as Jim put it.
"She" thought it rather beneath the
dignity of the husband of Miss Capen
and the possessor of $4,000 to clean
the front steps, but blood will tell, and
one morning she was awakened with
the sound OF scrubbing in her ears.
She crept to the window. There was
James Darlington Doyle, possessor Of
legacy of $4,000 and husband of
Mrs. James Darlington Doyle, owner
Of house and lot, down ON his knees
with a pail Of water and a step-stone
washing the ascent to the front door Of
the family mansion as white as the
fallen snow. He looked up as she
opened the window.

bors are up," was all he said.-C. z.
