back to Grafton this evening for
trial.
There is a warrant in this city for
his arrest, the charge being highway

doubt as to his guilt, his partner in
the crime being convicted and sen.

Grafton authorities. are through with
him that he will be brought back here

The present outlook for the Demo

remarkable vitality in the past in sur

imagine that the crushing defeat of
last Tuesday would be its deaThblow.

Secretary OF State Hay.

Mr.. Hay is the model Secretary OF
State He combines all the varied
qualifications as perhaps not even the
greatest of his predecessors since Jef-
ferson has done With his prcli1nt-
nary training he is complete master
of the technique Of the Office. He
knows the forms, the usages, the pro
cedents. He understands the methods
and the arts. What most secretaries
must get from their assistants or
counselors he draws from his own
treasure house. He has the dipIc-
mats accomplishment. He CONVERSE;
with the diplomats in their own
tongue He has that deftness of
sion, that delicate play OF wit anG
raillery that precision of aim IL
which the diplomats delight All
these are valuable adjuncts, but, after
all, they are only secondary. MI.
Hay excels no less in the higher
range Of qualifications-in insight anG
foresight, in amplitude of view, in the

The scramble for collectorship OF

The scramble for collectorship OF
internal revenue seems to be on in
dead earnest and it seems that the
place hunters or their friends think
the best way to enhance their favor
ites's chances is to abuse and bemeap
al the other applicants. There have
been some unbecoming things said al
ready, and especially in connection
with the suggestion that the place be
given to Hon. Chas. F. Teter, of Bar
sbours county. The West Virginian de-
ssires TO say that from our knowledge
of Mr.. Teter we believe that no one
\ IN the State was more anxious for Re
publican success all along the line,
including Hon. W. NJ. o. Dawson than
was the distinguished gentleman from
Barbour He is always regular. He
Sisstoo good a Republican to be any
thing else. We do not know that re
seeks the collectorship, but if he q
we can truly say that no man in
State is more deserving of it than he.
SChas. f. Teter is one of the very
Sbestlmen in the Republican party, and
those who know him recognize his
rugged, manly qualities. A RepubIi-
can paper which will go out of its
5Way3stoE say unkind things of Mr. Te-
ferris unworthy of the cause it as
ssumes to espouse. West Virginia
ought to be proud of the large mum
sber8ofs able young men within her Dor
3ders,. and Republican newspapers
ought to speak guardedly when at
:tempting to cast reflection on our
strong young Republicans. More

Consolidation of the Schools.

Fairmont is united in everything
but its public schools. We do not
make proper showing along this
line because the city is divided When
outsiders read the reports OF our
few pupils in our schools when we
claim such large population in our
town We leave out of account al
most five hundred school children be-
cause the First ward schools are not
orsa nically connected with the other
schools of the city Our city is large
enough and our schools are of stuff
cient importance to have q special law
enacted giving the school officials
greater powers Under the new plan
tie city would have a board of say
five members, one from each ward. We
would have city board of examiners
and put our schools on a higher plane
in every way Morgantown has a
special city school law giving larger
liberties to the organization. Grafton
las also. Each of these towns has a
board of education representing each
ward and that is what FairmOnt
should have. Tie only thing which
has stood in the way for some time
was the old school building in First
ward and now that that ward has
bonded itself for new school build
ing that objection has been removed.
Let us get together and make Fair
mont schools second to none in the
,untry With a combined enumera
on of nearly $500 pupils we can
yo CD, ,it ;,,j
the State. Shall we instruct our rep
in the State Legislature
10 look after this natter If so, talk
the matter up right away so they can
get to work along that line.
