least degree of intelligence.
We have made rule to never
shoot loaded cannon at mites.
The Oblinger well drilled by
Gushing & Cushing will be tubed
for gas. We understand that
new gas company recently organ
lied at New Ma,tinsvllle. has pur
chased 1t and will lay a line to New
Martinsville The Wetzel Gas com
pany has been "skinning" the PEG
pie of New Martinsville long enough
The we'll on J. S. Buck, being
drilled by Carter Oil company has
been delayed for sometime by a
fishing job. We are glad to report
that the lost bit has been found and
they are now rapidly nearing COM
pletioa.
The Hope Natural Gas company
In the G. T. Buck we'll found gas
at a much lower depth than any
found here yet. This would seem
to Indicate an lnexhaustible supply
of gas here.
There are some men In the world
we admire even though they act
contrary and are Numerically OPP
posed to us. We would have no
one act otherwise than conscien-
tiously In anything not even to
please US.
It is a despicable characteristic
In any one to allow others to pull
him around just to suit themselves.
The Review calls Mr.. Bucks
conscience a back number. 1t has
been long time since the Editor
of the Review called this important
factor into use that 1t has become
defunct and when he sees man
with a conscience, 1t acts like two
bodies both charged with either
positive or negative electricity.
Mr.. Buck has no idea Of running
the city school in the same style
the country schools are run. He
believes In them, and believes they
should have every advantage to
which their position entities them.
He Is not responsible for what Is or
what Is not law. The board has 3
members. Two constitute ono
rum. They can do anything In
opposition to the other one. Messrs.
Moore and Bailey according to the
Review had authority to locate and
build a $145o school house at Bad
ger yet had not the authority to
hire $50 music teacher. Why
doesn't the Review come out as 1t
longs to do and say Moore and
Bailey could have hired music
teacher had they desired to do so,
but 1t will not do for us to condemn
them directly. We would entirely
lose our influence with them. We
can whip them over Commissioner
Bucks shoulder" Any or all OF
them that regrets anything good
that the law permits are equally to
blame. If the law prohibits any
thing none are to blame.
In speaking of advisers we would
say, none seem half so ankle us to
run either the city or country
schools as the Review.
Mr.. Buck favors music In both
city and country schools, or In the
city alone If there Is law for 1t.
Now, Mr.. Editor If there IS any
law produce 1t and you shall have
the music so far as Mr.. Buck Is
concerned, aud In case you cannot
find any law tavoring 1t we suggest
that you donate your services as
music teacher.
Mr.. Buck Is an honest man and
wants to spend the peoples money
as the law directs. Is that back
number?
The Review claims to have al.
ways opposed an independent dis
trict is ludicrous In the extreme.
We have last years Review on
file favoring an independent dis,
ttict.
Our representative In the legis
lature from Sistersville was ap-
preached by dozens and asked to
favor an independent district after
considering the case he was
he was compelled to say "No, am
representing all the people.
This claim also discloses the Re.
views love of display and at least
Its desire to control things. When
1t tries a thing and fails, 1t gets
right on the other side and hurrahs
for that side. What a power II
