SCHOOL BONDS NOT TAKEN.
Was a Great Disappointment to
the Board.
DETROIT BANKERS MAKE OFFER
Bond Question Will Have to Again Be
Submitted to Voters Unless Sold
Future Time

The board of education met in spec
ial session Monday evening for the
purpose Of receiving bids for the $50,
900 Martinsburg school bonds. AS
there were no bids for said bonds the
meeting was a great disappointment
to the board and will be to the public
generally.
The members were all present with
President A. T. RHssler presiding.
Two reasons are assigned for the
bonds getting no takers namely, the
option feature to anticipate payment
after five years of bonds maturing in
80 years and the low rate Of interest:
A per cent per annum.
In a letter received last evening
J. A. Hood & Co, bankers, OF Detroit,
Mich, offered to take the entire issue
of tAas $4,000 school bonds provided
the rate of interest was made 5 per
cent. per annum and the option feature
be eliminated. This, of course, the
board had no right to do, and so there
the matter rests for the present.
A prominent member of the board
told a World representative this morn
ing that it is quite likely that the
bonds viii be taken up yet. basing his
theory upon the fact that the Martins.
burg school district is comparatively
free of debit being exactly but So
6S1, with an assessed valuation on city
property of over $4,000, 900.
However, should the bonds not be
taken up. as intimated, the only way
out of the dilemma will be to again
submit the question to a vote Oh the
people, with, perhaps. Ger. ain modii-
cations.
As is generally known here, the pur-
pose of increasing the bonded indebc-
edess of the district $50 900 was to ex-
pend 100000 on the proposed new
third ward school building and apply
the remaining $4,000 for needed ad.
ditions, repairs, etc, to the other
school buildings of the city.
Routine business was transacted
and current bills were ordered paid,
amounting to between $500 and $500.
High School Completed.
Architect G.. d. Whitson reported by
letter to the board that the repairs to
the high school building had been fin.
ished and in a very satisfactory man.
ner.
AS told before in this paper these
repairs include new roofing. new floor
ing, new metal ceilings, a couple of
new partitions, foundation walls
strengthened, new pilasters in the bell
tower, new concrete steps at the front
door, cement floor in basement, etc,
putting the building in first class
shape.
Second Ward Building.
The repairs at the second ward
school building were reported as near
ing completion. These embrace a new
stairway at the west end of the house,
two rooms and upper hallway refoor-
ed, new steps on the main stairway, etc.
A new steam heating plant has been
contracted for and new furniture will
be placed in two of the recitation
rooms, making a very complete and
comfortable school house.

MADE FOR AMERICANS.
Our Tariff, Not Devised for Europe,
Is Not Liked by Europeans.

Hon. Richard Bartholdt, In an adj.
dress to the Republicans OF the First
ward, pointed out the great reason
why the Republican party will cling
to the protective tariff while In
Europe last summer" says Mr. Bar.
tholdt. Il found that the people were
unanimously opposed to the Ameri.
can policy OF protection, II Is a bad
thing for the Europeans, but a splen-
did thing for Americans. The Ameri
can laborer is to-day receiving wages
three times greater than Is paid TO
his German brother. and twice as
much as to the laborer of England"
That is the reason why the Repub-
lican party, which created the tariff.
will defend H. Europe does not like
the American tarif. But the Ameri.
can people prosper through II. and
will retain t. The fact that the
American laborer gets twice as much
wages as the British worker in the
same field. and three times as much
as the German laborer. furnishes a
complete vindication OF the Republi.
can protective policy. The tariI Is
largely responsible for the American
workers prominence among his Eel.
lows all over the world over 1000.
900 immigrants come 10 the United
States every year to share In the
prosperity which the Republican
party's tarif policy has won for the
country.
The tarir which the Republican
party has devised. and which II will
maintain. Is for the United States
only. No effort was made by the
trainers OF the tariff TO please Eng
land. France. Germany, or any other
oldworld country. The interests OF
the American worker were the sole
concern OF the Republican party In
creating the tarin by the American
worker is meant the entire body Of
the population. consumers as well as
producers. Nearly all Americans are
workers ~ some sort OF employment
All OF them consume Most OF them
produce as well as consume. The In
terests OF all Americans were kept In
view by the men who enacted the
Dingley tariff. as well as by the Re.
publlcans who shaped all the other
protective measures back 10 the Nor,
rill tariff OF 1861. These men legis.
ated for the United States. and not
for Europe This IL one Of the differ.
ences between the Republican and
the Democratic parties. The Demo.
cratic tariff Of 1884. the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff. was in tho interest Of Eu-
rope rather than that OF the United
States. The same would be- true o. a
Democratic tariff which would be
framed to-day. or in 1908. The Repub
lican idea OF a tariff for Americans r.
