Sidney Cole, who has served
three years of an eighteen year
sentence for killing William Terry
of the Keystone State, the details
of which are familiar to Sentinel
readers, and who recently granted
a new trial. was brought here to-
dy by Sack Buzzard, one of the
guards at the penitentiary, and
was placed in Jail. When Cole
was informed several weeks ago
that Judge Tavenner had granted
him a new trial he informed his
counsel that he would rather re
main in the penitentiary until his
new trial occurred than in the
county Jail. He changed his
mind, however and asked to be
brought here 1t is probable that
an effort will be made to have him
released on ball.-Parkersburg

Some of the newspapers of the
state keep up the agitation of the
abolishment of some of the Normal
schools of the state. This is very
unwise agitation. The Normal
schools are accomplishing more
genuine good than other schools in
the state. Hundreds OF young men
and women are getting a higher
education at the Normal schools
who are not able to go to the Uni
versity. The expenses of the Uni
versity might well be out down
but do not touch the Normal
schools. They are the only hope
of the poorer GLASS of young peo-
pie who cannot afford the great
expensive luxury of learning to
play ball at the Uni7ersity-Wayne

The late extra session of the
legislature abolished direct state
taxss and then created an expen-
sive state tax machine. The next
legislature may be expected to
create two new high priced Offices,
a commissioner of railroads and a
supervisor of elections. If a rail-
road commissioner is provided, it
is to be hoped that he will not be
SO near sighted that he cannot see

Wyoming county has burning
issue of its own. AT the recent
election in that county, the ques
ton was up as to whether or not
the county seat shall be removed
from Oceana, where it is now To-
GATED to PineYilIe. The matter was
Tough out bitterly and the result
was very close. On the face of the
returns the vote was for the re-
moval of the county seat. but the
county court, which seems to think
Ocsana a pretty good town, has
just thrown out the ballots, and de
clared, on technical grounds, that
there S..s no election. The cleo
ton will nave to be held over
again. All of wbich shows the
beauty of the West Virginia ballot
law.

patient and slow of wrath. He

would not stand for minute If
one of his calves gets its leg bro

q half a dozen hens die with

doesn't set aside q two dollar sd
in order to make room to herald

just worries right along as though
he hadn't been mistreated at all.
He is always jolly never fails to
ask "how's tricks" he comes into
the Office and drops a word of
praise for the paper upon taking
his departure. God bless the old

isn't worthy to buckle his shoes,

The greatest feature of merit in
the proposed state dispensary law
is its hold up opportunity. 1t is a
fortune maker to the grafters, and
will enable them to mulct the
liquor men out of at least twenty
thousand dollars at each session of
the Legislature.
It was never intended even by
those who first promoted the law to
put it into operation. The object
was graft and it was a big success
At every session of the Legislature
there are dozens of bills introduced
whose only object is that they may
be used as black mail club to ex-
tract money for the interests to be
affected. The professional lobby
lists are generally the authors of
the bills. and if they can suoceed
in having them introduced and put
on the calendar the rest is easy
