contest was in defamation. when Miss

The debate was between Miss Helen

being, Resolved, That Cuba should
be Annexed to the United States and

Miss Link took the affirmative and
Mr.. Harr the negative, and both con-

Principal Knutti then referred in
an earnest. forceful speech to the recent
order of the Board of Regents that
had created so much controversy, by
proposing to cut the senior year from
the course Of four of the normal schools,
and after stating his own opinion of
the effects of the order, asked each
member of the Board of Regents to
speak upon the subject. Superin.
tendent Miller was the first to respond.
BE plainly stated that so far as he
was concerned he did not intend the
order of the board to be so drastic as
to cut off the senior year, and if its
enforcement would bring about such
a result it was a mistake and he would

TIE Board of Public Works of
West Virginia has not entirely COM
pleted its assessment of railroads, pipe
lines. telegraph and telephone COM
panies, etc., but from the figures that
have so far been given out it may be
seen that Governor Dawson aud his
colleagues have not backed down any
from their determination to make the
public service corporations pay full
share of taxes. The oil and gas and
pipe lire interests, which includes the
Standard Oil Company. are almost
doubled, being increased from $780,
$4,000 in 1905 to $5l, Ill 900 this
year. The telephone and telegraph
companies are raised from So, 1926, 900
TO So, $685. 900 this year: the express
companies from $170,97l to $780,
6l2; the car lines, which includes the
Pullman Car Company, from $65S, $50
to 1886, 600. The steam railways are
increased from $4,000, 900 in 1906
to $17S. 900, 900 this year. The cleo
trio railroads are Increased from ST..
623, 900 in 1905 to $S,464,000 in
1907. The total valuation in 1906
was 5000, 42S, 900 and this year it is
advanced to $244. l54, 900, or an in
crease OF $35, 100000.
Let the good work go on. The
more the corporations Fay, the less
the burden upon individuals.

THE town council has ordered an
other considerable list of sidewalks to
be laid in Shepherdstowns which with
the list required last month will mean
much improvement along this line.
There is, of course, some criticism of the
council, and some Of thoee who are
required to make pavements at per-
sonal sacrifice do not like the order.
After all, however, it must be conced-
ed that our town has been away behind
the times in improvements of this sort,
and new sidewalks are surely sadly
needed. And while it will bear hard.
ly upon some persons, yet In the end
it will add to the value not only of
their property, but of all the property
in the town.
We again offer our advice that
everybody accept the order as cheer
fully as may be and comply with the
order of council.

In a speech at the jamestown Elk
position last Monday President Roose-
Welt came out Aatfooted for an income
and inheritance tax. We can fully
agree with him on these two points.
Those who have enormous incomes
ought topay for that happy condition.
The great fortunes that have been &C
cumulated, usually at the expense of
some one else, should not be perpetu-
ated intact, bit at least part of them
should revert to the government for
the common good.
The government would now be en-
joying the income tax were it not for
the fact that Judge Of the Supreme
Court of the United States changed
his mind for some unaccountable rea-
son.
Wonder how the Supreme Court
stands now on this question:

It has become evident that Governor
Hughes of New York is a possibility
that must be reckoned with at the next
republican national convention. Mr..
Hughes+i is man who does things a
man who has demonstrated his ability
to handle the powerful Legislature of
New York with such skill that it
granted the people substantially
everything they demanded. Although
Governor Hughes has not declared
himself a candidate for president, the
trend of political talk is at this time
toward him, especially in New York
and other states of the east.
