AFFAIRS Of THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Clerks Report Shows That Over
sos 900 Was Expended in
Buildings Last Year.
YET MORE ROOM is NEEDED.
Attendance Of Pupils Indicates That
Many We're Missed at Time Of
Ceusus Enumeration.

Clerk l., p. Judd, Of the city board Of
education has completed his annual
report FOR the year ending june 80. 1905
aud the same is now IN the hands Of
the printer for publication The report
contains detailed statement Of the
financial affairs Of the board and shows
the disbursements made on each school
building In detail. one Of the most i'm
portant item in the report is the
amount distributed in building during
the past year That amount reached
the sum Of $95O9l.9S. OF that amount
the sum Of $eI24913 was expended on
the new Lafayette school and S21,470s5
was paid to the state on the purchase
price Of the High school property.
a WEAKNESS HERE.
It will be seen by these figures pre-
scented that there was nothing I'm the
building fund at the close Of the year
and the board has nothing to depend
upon for that purpose this year except
the regular portion Of the tax receipts
set apart for that fund. owing TO the
face that there are nearly a thousand
more pupils In the city schools this year
than last and IL has become necessary

MANY OUT or CITY.
one of the strongest reasons urged
for changing ;he time for taking the
school census from the middle Of sum
rer to an earlier date Is the fact that
according 10 the census taken this
year there was only an Increase Of 81
children of school age INA the city while
on the opening day Of school there
were S9l more pupils enrolled than on
the opening day last year 1t Is evident
from that that large number Of chill
dren were out OF the city
when the census was taken.
Hence the city board Of edu-
cation is deprived Of the per capita
tax for more than 500 pupils which Is
received from the state school fund.
Another attempt will undoubtedly be
made to have the time Of taking the

THE VALUE OF MEMS HEARTS.

Howard w. Brandt, of Pueblo,
Mexico, is the latest man to sue a
woman for breach OF promise of mar
riage. He wants Mrs. Engenia Berry
Hughes, a bride of a few months, to
pay him $4,000 actual damages and
$4,000 more for disgrace and HUI
miliation." He alleges that the time
he devoted to counting was worth 81
a day to him. So long as cit is better
2 to have loved and lost than never to
have loved at ALL there will be little
disposition to pay luckless sutton
for his time. But the question of
awarding damages for the broken
promise is different. The fist suit
of this kind was brought in. England
several hundred years ago. 1t was
Thrown out of court on the ground
that marriage was no advantage to
man a second action met the
same reception. Then the courts re-
versed themselves and decided that
marriage was as much an advantage
TO a man as to a woman, but juries
have never placed the same value on
the price of heart balm for men as
they have for women. There have
been recently several actions of this
kind in the United States. and the
developments in the law of love will
be awaited with Interestingly York

general, 70 a cadetship at West

a TAX TlIAT is NEEDED.

? E 80 .
One of the laws proposed by the
tax commission which was lost in
the shuttle, and which the News be-
lieves should be considered by the
next Legislature, is that imposing a
tax of ten dollars year upon certain
professions, such as lawyers, physi-
clans and dentists. There is as much
reason in the tax upon these occupa-
i lions as there is in the tax upon real
estate and stock brokers'. auctioneers
and sewing machine agents. Taxes
upon these callings are levied because
they have no merchandise, goods or
equipment subject to taxation. Their
incomes may be as large as those of
business men whose money is invest
ed in shops or factories. yet unless
they were required to pay license
they would escape paying tribute to
the commonwealth entirely, while the
merchant or the manufacturer with
an income no greater and enjoying no
greater degree of protection, would be
paying heavily upon all he owns.
Another reason may be advanced
Tor the TAX upon lawyers, physicians
and dentists. Each of these profess
sions is peculiarly protected by the
State. Special laws are passed for
their benefit and they are given priv
ileges and favors shown to no other
class. In the case of lawyers. they
may be educated and qualified for
their profession practically at State
expense. Examining boards are
maintained for the benefit of den
lists and physicians that incompetents
and quacks may be barred and the
standard of Tie profession maintain
ed. All these are special benefits
which would fully compensate our
professional friends for the small sum
of $40 a year, which the tax commits
sion thought they should pay to the
State.-Wheeling News.

70 ADVOCATE DlspgN Az.

y
It is rrlmored that the; liquor inter
ests OF the State are back of the dis.
pensary movement The new license
laws enacted at the special session
are the most drastic ever faced by the
LIQUOR interests in West Virginia, and
they desire TO get rid Of them. They
realize that TO come out in the open
and advocate the repeal of the new
measures or their amendment to suit
their views would result in defeat
and that the best idea is to advocate
the dispensary idea. the most ex-
treme position possible except abso-
Lutte prohibition.-Mou Her.
aid.
The West virginian claims no par
ticular credit for it, but it started the
present agitation of the dispensary
question and If the liquor interests
are back of it we are not aware that
such is the case. 1t hardly looks rea-
sonable that they are back of it, as
they are kicking like steers instead
of giving aid and encouragement to
the movement.
