The speech Of Ham Jennings
Bryan at Madison sdaars Garden last
night must have been great dfsap'
'pointment to the thousands of enthur
slastIe Democrats present. There is
nothing new, striking or strong in IT.
1T Is commonplace in thought and
wanting In fire and vtgor of express
sion. He evades issues by saying that
certain and certain things will come
to"pass sooner or later 7 He believes
the people will ultimately" favor this
measure and that which he has here
tofore advocated. He says the trusts
will be the paramount issue in 1908
from present indications and congrat-
uIates President Roosevelt ON what he
has done in curbing the powers Of the
great corporations. On the whole, Mr.
Bryan's great speech was a failure
even from Democratic point of view
and will make but little Impression
on the country at large.

a penny more than is contemplated in
the constitution when It provides that
taxation shall be based on the amount
of property taxpayer has in his pos
session.
Below is what the News says on the
subject:
when the West vlrginian makes
the fnstnnation that Mr.. Mcintosh
is Influenced in the expression of his
opinions by the payment Of money
or other improper consideration, IL
descends below the pale of argument
and steps into the wallow Of abuse.
However, the same idea may occur
to the readers OF the West Virgin
ian.
Those who read the Mcintosh
papers, are well aware that we have
never had any sort of hesItancy in
criticizing corporations when their
actions merited it. Because we have
chosen to make defense Of them
against improper clamor, at times.
means nothing more than that we
desire that they have an even
chance before the public. Corpor.
ations have equal rights with in,
dividuals before the law. and the
highest type of cowardice is to ar.
raign them and make them Infamous
in the eyes of the people because
of their weakness in making public
defense.
at is not unusual for attacks to
be made upon the corporations. We
witness at the present time, organ.
lied Legislation the purpose Of which
is to curtail power Of the courts
as old as the hills. and that is most
frequently accorded corporations in
defense of their property. No such
endeavor would have standing at all
before the people If the aim were
directed at the individual instead of
the corporation. Any sort Of a NOR
sci fed to an irritated and restless
public melts IN the mouth and ling
ers ON the tongue, If but the hint be
given that 1t Is the light meat of a
corporation.
'tIn our own State we witness a
high carnival of opposition to these
business interests. 1t has been as.
serted that they would not have the
ordinary protection accorded to all
the rest OF society unless they
specially paid for it. Also that the
taxes should be taken on the people
in general and put upon them
specially. That they are roBhlng the
state of its resources and are giving
the state nothing in return.
And it is these new principles of
civil government that our cOntem
porary. the West virginian, is SUP
porting, and which, because we have

To THE PEOPLE OF SCHOOL DIsfRicT
No. /, DELTA COUNTY:
1t has come to my knowledge that
certain well meaning people Of the
District have thought the School Board.
and particularly the Secretary thereof,
have failed in their duty in that they
have not published q statement Of the
finances of the said School District. and
it seems to have been reported and be-
lieved that such statement is required
by law.
To such people l wish to say that my
annual report as Secretary has been
filed with the County Superintendent
of Schools and a duplicate thereof with
the secretary of the School District,
each year for the fourteen years during
which I have served. and those records
have been open to inspection Of any
one who wished to be informed and
could have been published by any news
paper desiring to publish the same.
Any lawyer or other person informed
as to the law will advise you that the
law does not require q publication ef
these reports in districts of this claas,
and 50 far As know they are not pub
lished by any such district in the State.
Nor do believe such publication woah
serve any useful purpose.
All expenditures (exeept few hei-
dentals) are paid by orders signsd -

Treasurer who retains all such ordera

9ress.

The committee that left here last
week to meet with a committee of the
Synod at a meeting held in Colorado
Springs on May 4th. returned home
without having accomplished very
great deal toward the location which is
sought. However, it was not the fault
of the committee from here that such
was the case, the whole day in the
Springs being largely occupied in dis
cussion about who should have the
actual decision concerning the location.
The matter was finally left to COM
mittee appointed that day and Judge
F. N. Dickerson, a local man, is one of
the members. This committee is to
meet in Colorado Springs on June 9Th
and will consider feasibility of locations
and offers of propositions on that day.
If Delta gets the college there is
need of instant action. 1t will be nee
essary for some kind of an inducement
to be laid before this committee. Del.
ia can not expect to sit with folded
hands and get the plum. AS an in

favor George w. Cook, of Denver, .
worthy consideration as candidate for
the next Republican Governor. And it
is comm e ,1able regard.
Mr.. Cook has long been identified
with Colorado. he being the original
promoter of market for the immense
manganese deposits of Leadville. He
is also a member of the G. A. r. and
never has failed to boost any laudable
enterprise that would benefit the state
at large. Keeping in close touch with
the affairs of the state, As he has al
ways done. gives him an insight into
matters that need careful attention and
experienced judgement and his success
in life proves him business man in
every sense of the word.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Cook would be .
strong man, too, for his association
with the old soldiers would give him an
enormous vote on that score alone while
his Identification with business inter-
ests would evoke confidence from an
other large following. It will be well
to bear him in mind.

Still better to learn is the move to
