CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN

If the West Virginia municipal

Democrats have an excellent chance
of obtaining a majority of theS6Oth
Congress in the fall OF this year. In

strOngholds in the labOring districts
went Democratic and the political
wise-acres see a fair chance OF the
next West Virginia Legislature being
Democratic, which would mean the
election of a Democratic Senator
Under the leadership OF Mr.. Williams
the minority in the lower house OF
Congress have maintained an atti-
tude which has placed the party in q
most favorable light before the
country. This attitude has been
consistent with Democratic doctrines
and has won the admiration OF men
of all parties. There has been no
unnecessary opposition to any Just
measure. no matter whether Orlgi-
mated by Democrats or Republicans,
but when these measures We're be
lieved to be wrong the minority has
presented a solid front The rate
policy of the President has been sup
ported in cordial manner by Demo
Gratis. and in the Senate members OF
that party have assumed almost en-
tire charge. The Democrats have
urged tariff revision and have solid
ly opposed the iniquitous ship sub
sidy" policy of New England Repub-
Leans. They stand before the coun-
try today with an equal chance to
win. The record OF the present Re
publican Congress has been poor
one, mainly by reason OF its failure
to give the people relief from the
needless oppression OF the Dingley
rates, which failure carries with it a
score OF broken campaign promises.
The fall campaign promises at this
time to be warmly contested, but
whether the Democrats win or lose
the party is bound to emerge from
the fight in better condition than
has been the case for several years.

THE COUNTRY's EMBLEM.

One hundred and twenty-e eight years
ago today the present flag of the
nation was adopted and new con-
stillation came mot existence" 1t was
to commemorate this formal adop-
ton of our national emblem that few
years ago June IA was designated
as Flag Day."
To those who brought the flag into
existence and carried it through the
bloody struggle for independence. fin
ally planting it on the ramparts of
freedom and liberty, it meant more
than the means of designating the
armies in the field. It represented in
the hearts of those who rallied around
it in the dark days of the uneven strug-
gle for liberty which followed it's
adoption, the lofty principles for
which they were so valliantly contend
ing.
Arranged first because of the beau
tiful blending of the colors, the thirteen
stripes which with one exception, have
been preserved, meant the individual
ity of the thirteen colonies struggling
for independence The field with it's
stars meant the union of the other
wise severed states and later in our
national life when traitors hands
struck at the vitals of the nation, it
meant the indisolubility of the union
which had been the dream and the
work of the fathers of the republic.
Today it means more than ever be-
fore. 1t means the indestructibility of
the nation from foes within-the I'M
breakable bonds of union forever
sealed anew in the blood of the ma
tons heroes. 1t means the unity of
the whole country against the foreign
foe regardless of past differences and
political animosities.
The flag which so proudly floats
over the heads of eighty millions of
people today is the emblem Of liberty
purified by the tests of century and
a quarter of the liberty making his
tory Of the world. and it stands now
for stronger union, a greater liberty
and more far reaching influence than
it did when it bid defiance to the
armies of the then master of the
world.

A STATES PRIDE.

Today marks the closing Of the
gratest year in the history of the state
university. This is no disparagement
on the former years either, for the
institution has merely grown and de-
veloped as those who labored so zeal
ously for its success in the past 80
fondly anticipated. In fact it is in a
measure because of the strong and
deep foundations which they laid that
the present condition of the univer-
sity is due. 1t is no less a monu-
ment to the men who were associated
with its destinies at this time.
There may have been some mistakes
made in the management of the uni
versity, for the best conceived plans
are but the result of finite minds. But
IL they were made they are among the
things which can not be remembered.
1t 10 sufficient that the state univer-
sity holds a high rank among the
educational institutions of the coun-
try today, and that it is recognized
everywhere as one Of the strongest
of those fostered by the state.
There are reasons for this and of
them the people of the state may we'll
be proud. The support given 1t by
the people 10 not Of the prefunctory
kind merely given because the insti-
tuition IL part Of the state govern
,nent. but Il comes from the hearts,
Of the citizens Of the state. They love

pie TO take 2 high place in the ranks

of those who are shaping and inf1u-
encing the work of the world. 1t thus
comes into the very homes of those
who can and do appreciate it, it has
warm friend at nearly every fireside
in the state.
Then it will be remembered that the
men who have directed it's destiny
in the past and those who are directing
it now, both as instructors and as
executive officers, are those whose
fidelity to the institution is as sacred
to them as their religion. They are
serving it not because of the remun-
Grafton alone, but because their hearts
are in the work. They may have de-
tractors who would rob them of this
higher motive and in all probability
of their motive save the most sordid,
but if there are such they have never
had the temerity to breathe the
thought The business of the univer-
sity since it first opened has been con-
Quoted on the very best highest prin-
ciples.
But it is not alone to the men who have
directed it's financial policy that the
university is indebted for the proud
position which it occupies in the educa-
tional world. For important as that is
the institution would fall if within
the class rooms were not gathered
corps of instructors who by their
broad scholarship, unfaltering devo-
ton to duty, and lofty ideals have been
able to stamp the institutions inf1u-
ence so indellibly on the minds of the
young people who seek an education
within its walls that they stand
pre-eminently amongst the scholars of
the land. An educational institution is
judged among thinking men by the
class of scholars which it sends out.
If those be possessed of new fields
and have the ability to grasp and
master new problems and conditions,
the enlightened world will know at
once that the institution from which
they came had its chairs filled with the
ablest men in the educational field.
This is exactly what the state uni-
verstiy has done in the year which
closes today, and is just what it has
done in the years which have passed.
The three score and ten young peo-
pie who this morning received their
diplomas in the several colleges are
such that the state may well take
pride in and they will be but one more
testimonial of the merit of the chief
educational institution of the state.
