Important. The first time house La fod in of meet irnos,ca,efaxao A

Important. The first time a house is painted is of most importance. A poor foundation sometimes causes trouble for years. There is no part of painting more important than priming. See to it that the primer is the best paint obtainable. It would be better to put a poor paint on good primer than to apply good paint over a poor primer. The old theory that anything is good enough for the priming coat has been dfsproved by experience. It is the paint next to the wood that s'let's go" and causes peeling. Do not woodwor under the caves and window stills is thoroughly dry before applying paint. The wood dries slowly in such places. Water (dampness) under paint causes blisters and peeling. John w. Masury's household paint is no adver- tising experiment., but paint that has had good test in this city for B years. And we are selling more to-day than ever. Ask anyone that has used it and you will be convinced immedi- ately. Hilary Rider, 6l2 Water street, Bridgeport.

Two Statements
by Mail From
Morgantown.

Editor West virGnian:
Sensational articles have recently
appeared in West Virginia State pa
pers and elsewhere concerning the
College of Law in the State Univer-
sfty. These articles contain state
ments'to the effect that the faculty OF
law is about TO be reelected by the
Regents. that a conspiracy exists
whose purpose is to prevent the re-
election of DR.. Maxey, that this pur-
pose arises from Jealousy Of inferior
and less popular professors. and, that
If 1t succeeds all chairs of law will
be vacated and new professors elected
These statements are so erroneous
and SO utterly without foundation that
they ought not to go unchallensed-
The facts of the case are as follows:
1. The annual reelection of the
Law Faculty is not approaching for the
simple reason that no annual election
of professors is ever held in this uni
versity-
?. No conspiracy exists against Dr.
Maxey or any other professor in the
university. AT least there is no evi-
dence whatever of such conspiracy
. Neither is there any discovera-
BILE evidence of Jealousy in the case.
T. Nor is there any expectation that
the personnel of the Law Faculty viii
be totally changed at the next meeting
of the Regents.
5. DIR. Maxey IS not regular pro-
fessor. and never has been He is
ranked as Associate Professor of Law.
but even this position has never been
considered permanent. his election to
ii. having been only for a year at a
time.
g. AT his last reelection in June.
1905. 1t was distinctly understood by
the Regents that he would not be a
candidate for reelection at the close
of the year.
:. There is no evidence at hand
that he will be such candidate Wheth-
er the Regents will re-elect him with
out such candidacy 1 cannot say. but
certainly all this talk about "conspir-
acies." ttjealousies.'' and pretty
fights is uncalled for. untrue and In
furious alike to Professor MaXey and
to the university There is nothing
alarming in the situation and friends
of the university may rest assured

In the same mail with President
