WHAT HE SAID.
Governor White Gives the Bank
ers Some Hard Raps.

Speech Made at Parkersburg has
Caused Great Deal of Comment
lie is Going TO Settle tax Matter
and Settle it Right no Matter What
Happens.
The other night Governor White
addressed a meeting OF bankers in
Parke-sburg. He was one OF the
speakers at the banquet given by the
State Bankers Association. The
speech he made stirred up the animals
great deal and some OF the more
rude among them Kissed the Governor.
At least that is what some people
say. Others state that there was no
kissing. But several people got mad
and among them is the Governor.
When he talked to the bankers among
other things he spike the following
the bankers are the representa-
tiyes of the highest integrity and most
eminent responsibility aud solid cit
izenship and should set high example
of good citizenship 10 careful and ex-
act compliance with existing laws"
''It is no excuse for one corpara-
tion to seek to evade its full financial
liability for taxes under the law, be-
cause ether corporations can do or do
more or less successfully eyade them.
1.-THE best way to repeal bad law
is to enforce it; and If our present tax
laws are oppressive to banks lei US CO.
operate In repeating or modifying
them SO that we can fully and justly
obey them to the letter."
1.-The issue of tax reform can not be
successfully suppressed; when once
fairly presented the people will decide
it and decide it rightly. Personally, /
care not for the political consequences
to myself or the political consequences
to any particular political party in de-
tern,ining and considering the ques-
tion of just and equitable taxation,
because it is question greater than
one man or one party and affects the
whole people and should be settled on
its merits. The issue of a more just
and fairer system of taxation will be
fought out to finish.
The thing for US all to do is To CO.
operate in doing right, The bankers
can not only afford to obey the reqnir-
ments of the laws but ought To do SO.
'Tax-dodging in the individual or
the corporation is not the proper thing
for good citizens 20 do. If we can't
obey the laws, let US repeal them.h

The LOVE OF WRIGHT
Caused Him 10 Use Razor
Life Lost its Joy

low and Sought ESoIaee in Suicide
Sad Story of Devotion from DollPs
Kun.
Thornton Wright, son OF Llmrl
Wright, on Dolls Run, this county,
tried to end an existence which was
burdensome to aim, last Wednesday
night, by slashing his throat with a
razor. He cut hole in his wind
3ipe as big as dime, aud in spite
of this fact was still living Sunday
night.
Young Wright was in love, des-
peratcly in love, and when cireum
stances transp.red to remove the
object of his affection from his daily
compromising life lost its JOY tor
him.
The details of the story are little
vague. IL seems, however. that
Wright had fallen in love with a
woman VINO lived at the house of his
parents. They opposed any thought
of marriage. On Wednesday even
ing, the lady started to leave the
house to return no more. Thornton
wanted to go with her but his father
and mother would not hear to it. He
plucked some flowers and gave them
to his inamorata, saying, Good bye
this is the last you will see of me. ?
He went back to the house, seized
his razor and cut his throat. His
wind -pipe was partly severed. A
physician was called and rendered
what aid he could. In spite of the
serious wound he IS still living,
though it is said his chances OF re-
covery are not one in a hundred.
1t is said that members of the
family were standing around the bed
aud said in the wounded mans hear
ing that he was temporarily insane
when he cut himself. Wright sat
up in bed and asserted that he knew
just exactly what he was doing.

French Macaroni has thus far
been given decided preference to
that OF American manufacture. The
reason given is that the finest i'm

being cooked while the domestic

TWO CENTS
CHILDREN'S DAY
Celebrated in Many of the
Churches Yesterday.

Resign Baptists and Methodist Pro.
testants Hold Children's Exercises
Churches Close Next SUNDAY.
Yesterday was devoted To the chill
dren 10 several OF the city churches,
while Others have postponed the chill
dren's day exercises till after the Uni
versity Commencement.
The Baptist, Methodist Protestant
and Christian churches celebrated
children's day yesterday very appro-
priately. The exercises we're all held
in the evening Ia place OF the regular
service. Mr.. David Dale Johnson'pr
sided at the Baptist church, Miss Ma
bel Reynolds was organist for the lit
tie folks. The exercises consisted
principally of recitations aud songs,
very well rendered by the boys and
girls Mrs. A. D. Griffith sang Il
sacred selection and the pastor Rev.
McCutcheon made practical talk To
the children. There were beautiful
festoons OF flowers and ferns. Some
OF these were used today to decorate
of the Baptist Sunday School, Gsor-
gia Price, and Mary Fleming
At the Christian church the pastor
preached of the blessedness and power
OF lutte children in The morning,
and administered the holy sacra-
ment. In the evening the hour for
regular preaching service was given
up to the children. A large crowd
was present. The children had made
good preparation, and acquitted them
selves very creditably
The Christian Sunday School has
grown from membership of three
when first organized four years ago
till there are more than hundred
children In attendance. The enroll
ment reached 104 on Sunday morning.
1t was the fourth anniversary of the
founding OF the church, and was
joyous occasion for those who have
been most interested in its progress.
1t had been rumored that the pas.
tor, Rev. L. A. Beard would announce
his resignation of the pastorate of
this church yesterday but nothing of
the kind was done.
Children's day was observed at the
Methodist Protestant church, at the
hour for the evening service. Most OF
the recitations and songs were by
the smaller children. Miss Ida Nor
ris had been chiefly active in making
preparation for the celebration.
Very generous collections were re-
ceived for mission work from the var
ious Sunday Schools.
Rev. DR.. Flanagan of Grafton, fl
led the pulpit for DR. Buchanan at
the Presbyterian church morning and
evening. The pastor is expected back
in time for the next preaching service
the Sunday after Commencement,
DR.. ID. B. Purinton preached at the
M. e. church Sunday evening. The
children of the Sunday School will
hold a Wesleyan celebration the last
of this month.
Nearly all the churches Will adj
