The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1906-05-25

In another column upon request
is published an article purporting to
be in reply to, statement issued by
President Purinton of the West
Virginia University concerning DR..
Maxey. It is published by the Tele-
gram as was DR.. Purinton's with
out financial remuneration and
without thought Of swaying
in any particular the pub
lie mind in the matter. as
the Telegram is of the firm belief
that the case is one properly within
the province Of the board of regents
of the university and one not to be
decided either by the law students
or the president of the institution.
Our readers may take the article for
what it is worth. as well as that of
DR.. -Purinton, as the Telegram does
not profess to be sufficiently ac-
quainted With the situation to ex-
press a pronounced opinion on the
subject, except that it sees no real
excuse for using the newspapers to
influence the board of regents. 1t
appears that it would be much more
proper and better to consult and adj
wise them in person rather than TO
make it an open issue, and especial
ly so, when there appears no excuse
as yet for making it such a public
matter.

ing Of church services. 1t Is true
Sunday funerals frequently become
physical and mental burdens to
ministers. but they will not be
stopped on that account, as they are
consecrated to God and that is part
Of the work given them BY the Lord.

Democratic papers feel 50 sure OF
Mr.. Hubbard's nomination that
they have already begun a campaign
against his election. They found
out they could not prevent his nom
nation and 50 they have about given
that fight up and have gone to fight
ing him for election. They want
not only to dictate Republican nom
nations but also to say who shall be
elected. They viii not succeed in
doing either this campaign.

work was thorough with the teachers
and the pupils. Clarkshurg has
cause to be proud Of this class as
well as all former classes and every
succeeding year graduation oc-
casion should inspire greater and
deeper belief-i in the public schools.
The present class may go higher in
the matter Of education, but should
it not, its members have had a men
tai training and possess an amount
of knowledge: that guarantee a far
better and more useful citizenship

The graduation of such a large
class as took place from the Clarks-
burg high school last night is an
additional evidence of the wisdom of
the existence of public free schools
and testifes 10 the fact that the
cause Of education is going forward
all the time so far as Clarksburg is
concerned 1t was the largest class
in point of number in years here,
and the capability and mental train

Japanese Colony for Texas.

Mr.. Akioki, a Japanese of distinc.
ton, Is in this country seeking infor-
nation as to the climate and re-
sources of Texas, where it is proposed
to found a colony Of his countrymen.
He will shortly bring over 800 fam
lilies, who will settle on a solid tract
Of $1,000 acres in Bee county. They
will undertake tea-farming and silk
culture. The mulberry tree grows ev-
erywhere in the region to a great
size. San Antonio Is the nearest
town to the proposed colony and the
expectation is hat the newcomers
will make good citizens and inter
marry and coalesCe with their Texas
neighbors. Mr.. Akioki says that II
the first colony is a success he will
buy another tract on which he has
In option, and in this there are TO-.
900 acres, enough to make homes for
5000 families. There is a small col
ony of Japanese 10Y in Bee county.
They have devoted themselves to rails

ucts with a good profit.

Is AGAIN DELAYED

Contrary to expectations the bill ask
ing for an appropriation for the James
town Exposition at jamestown. Va. in
1907. was not introduced in the House
today by Representative Maynard or
Virginia. The delay is caused by the
fact that the exposition company has
not yet sent to Washington the draft
of the bill.
Wide comment has been caused at the
Capitol by the delay in the Introduction
of the measure as the session is now
wearing on. and am appropriation bill
which is introduced late in a session
