THE STATE GRANGE.

why cannot the farmer to-day enter
the labor market and bid successfully
against others who are looking for
help ? The fact is the most unskilled
labor will leave the farm and go TO
public works, performing the meanest
drudgery rather than follow the pillow.
It may be that some desplse the plow
but that is not the main reason. a few
days ago young man who was reared
on the farm but who is now working as
a track hand on the railroad remarked
that he much preferred the farm and
hoped TO get back to it, but at present
he would work for the corporation
because it paid better,
For doing the hard work of helping
to keepa railroad track in repair in a
lonely mountain pass he is getting
$4,000 per month. His work requires
muscle only. The modern farm needs
much more than that, yet no farm in
this section could pay $40 per month or
anywhere near it for muscle only.
The farm to-day needs intelligence
and skill equal to that of the factory or
the counting room. Let no one smile
until he has worked Il season on II well
equipped farm. The farmer can i'll
afford to hitch a team Of high priced
horses to costly and complicated
machine and then put boor on the
seat to drive. Yet be must do IL and
for some time past many have been glad
To get the boor.
Few will contend that this is as it
should be nor must it continue to be so.
When the farmer gets a full apprecia-
tion of the Importance and dignity Of
his calling and clear conception of
what is his by right it will not be so.
The grange is taking the lead on giving
this knowledge and is organizing the
power OF the farm, not to trample on
the rights of others, but to battle for
Fsimple justice. When justice is secured
the farm will be able TO pay as much
for man to feed and care for valuable
team and run binder as the railroad
can pay for an engineer to haul the
products OF the farm to market.

The program rendered on the 18th of
April by the Dean and Rathmel schools
was grand success and much could be
said in praise of the teachers whose
patience and work brought about such
a degree of proficiency on the part of
the scholars in drills, etc. Miss Lenk-
erd's class In the calisthenic drill was
almost perfect and Miss Lenkerd would
feel flattered could she hear the praise
of our people. And praise for Miss
Wilson's classes in the rainbow drill
does not fall short OF the calistheuic.
The patriotic and military drills by
Clawges and Montgomery were grand,
and we now have nice little company
of soldiers. The chorus and recitatiops
were above the average and the parents
Of the school children wish to thank
the teachers for their efforts.
The receipts will be equally divided
between the two schools. Dean school
will buy bell and the Rathmel school
will expend their money in books, etc.

see us.

In a letter in last evenings Times
signed "a Democrat in which a
boost is given to c. E. Manley for
sheriff, the letter states that so far
as the writer knows no other person
has been spoken of for sheriff on the
Democratic ticket other than that
stalwart and popular Democrat, Chas.
E. Marley"
If the writer Of the above had been
a reader of the West Virginian, he
would not have displayed such isno-
rance concerning the candidates OF his
party, as this paper has had occasion
to mention Mr.. Lil1y's candidacy FOR
the Democratic nomination for sher
if number of times. Is it possible
that a portion Of the Democracy is go
ing to ignore his candidacy? II looks
like that is to be the program, but it
is our opinion that it does not know
what it is up against. We know that
many influential Democrats through
out the county are for Councilman
Lilly for sheriff and will demand mis-
nomination.
We do not know what the Times
thinks OF Mr.. Lilly's candidacy. but
we do know that it did not Ike the
trouble nor the space in last evenings
paper to inform the Warrington writer
that he is a full-hedged candidate for
the sheriffalty nomination.

are beginning to realize that the man

The masterful way in which he
fought the gold standard plank, and
compelled a hostile majority to vote
against it, clearly demonstrates the
personality of the man, and more than
ever goes to prove that he is alive
and still very much in evidence .-

The reason Captain 4. J. Stone, of

OF course he will, and While he saw
that it would not do to ask for third

nights since the Wheeling convention

pete with Mr.. Dawson for the COVER
norship. They are afraid to run any
one who has been outspoken against

Davis. of Clarksburg, is such q man.
but it is said that he cannot be in
duced to become a candidate. 1t is
the opinion OF many that John w.
Holt, of Huntington. who was their
gubernatorial standard bearer four
years ago, will have to make tn" race
again. Mr.. Holt was a member of
the tax commission, and therefore his
views on the question of tax reform
are, or are supposed to be, the same
as those of Mr.. Dawson.
