The wrangle the board of educa-
ton is having at Parkersburg is a
disgrace. Two members of the
board want it their way; two other
members want 1t their way; the de-
Gliding vote can not be cast because
of vacancy on the board. The
fight seems to be in the interest or
against the interest of man, who
has applied for the superintendent
of the schools. Two vote for him
and two vote against him. Why he
hangs on the Telegram does not
know and did not pay enough atten-
ton to school affairs there to know
whether it is a matter OF vindication
on his part. But, he and all mem
bers of the board ought readily to SEQ
that the unseemly action because of
him is not helping the cause of
education in Parkersburg, and, from
this distance, most educators and all
others interested in education would
most likely congratulate the appli-
cant, If he would withdraw his APP
plication and tell the board to go to
hades.

Some of the newspapers that have
advocated and helped along the new
tax system and other reforms start
ed by Governor White are evidently
not especially posted as to the atti-
tude of some of the men they are
boosting as Governor Dawson's sue
cessor on the ground that such would
carry out and make more perfect
these reforms. With some of those
mentioned for the governorship there
has always been a sort of luke-warm-
ness as to the new tax laws.

Some papers have the idea that
the State should pay to nominate
candidates. Wonder If they ever
stopped to think what the cost would
be? Every Tom, Dick and Harry
might conclude to run under the cir
cumstances and the ballot might
cover mile in length. That is one
objection to the State paying for
it. There are others even more ex-
pensive. In this connection the Tele-
gram believes that the primary cleo
ton is good thing but each party
should bear its own expenses and
there should be separate days for
the holding of the same. 1t should
also be that man can not vote at
both primaries.

IN MEMORIAM

To some, the Angel of Death
comes as grim and pitiless destroy
er, while to others as a kind and
merciful deliverer. Such, it seem
ed, he came to our beloved daughter,
sister, friend and classmate, Miss
Eula B. Jones, on the morning Of
the 18th of June last, and bore her
soul away to meet her earthly and
her Heavenly Father in the Eternal
Home where grief and sorrow are
unknown.
A daughter of William H. and Isa-
belle Jones, she was born at Smith
ton, Doddridge county, on the 10th
of November, 1886. A merry, hap
py child, she gradually developed in
to quiet. and demure, yet sincere
and lovable maiden, and even after
she contracted tuberculosis, endur-
ed her suffering so patiently and
silently, that few realized her con-
dition until her death came as q
blessed relief.
She strove always to do the right,
and in her daily school life and
work, her neatness, carefulness and
thoroughness, won for her alike the
praise and esteem of both teacher
and classmate. All who knew her
were her friends, and those who
knew her worth were benefited by
the example of studentship and lady
like department she set before them.
And yet, dear mother, sister,
friends. classmates, do not mourn
her loss as irreparable, but rather,
with the poet whom she loved so
well to read and study, say:
The birds are glad: the brier rose
The air with sweetness; all the hills
Stretch green to June's unclouded
sky;
But still i wait with ear and eye
For something gone which should
be nigh,
A loss in all familiar things,
In flower that blooms, and bird that
sings,
And yet. dear heart! remembering
thee,
Am not richer than of old?
Safe in thy Immortality,
What change can reach the wealth
l hold?
What chance can mar the pearl and
gold
Thy love hath left in trust with me?
And while in life's late afternoon,
Where cool and long the shadows
grow,
walk to meet the night that soon
Shall shape and shadows overflow,
! cannot feel that thou art far.
Since near at need the angels are;
And when the sunset gates unbar,
Shall not see thee waiting stand,
And, white against the evening star
The welcome of thy reckoning hand?
A. r. L.

Panama and the Canal Zone Were

The man with the profound look on

half an hour, suddenly frightened up
like a man who had solved q mystery,
and, turning to the man who had been
uneasy for fear that the train would
leave without him, he said:

CHANCES FOR THE REFoRMERs.
Old Printer Points Out Where Real
Good Might BE Done.

did you ever Think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only
the upper halves of the letters? The
lower halves are in many cases only
the stems, the remainders of orpa.
mental 1ourlshes which have been
gradually reduced in size and length
and are now meaningless. Take, for
instance, the heading of a paper. Cover
up with blank sheet the lower half
OF the letters, and even If you did
not know what they were you would
have no difficulty in reading the words.
Now, reverse the process and cover
the upper half and if you did not know
the words it would be impossible to
make out the letters. This fact is
even more plainly seen in the case of
the Roman letters used for headlines.
An L might be mistaken for an I, but
nearly all the other letters are so
plainly Indicated by the shape of the
upper half that the lines may be read
without difficulty. In their zeal for
reform and economy the advocates of
the new spelling might make this idea
useful and instead of abolishing few
letters in a few words they might cut
of the lower quarter or half of every
letter and so save rs per cent."-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

favorite Swedish Dialect Comedy
Drama, "A Prince of Sweden"
Comedy dramas seem to be the at

of them for the better, and proceeds
smoothly and swiftly and is de-

career because it is one of the few
plays written in America that will
always be interesting. And the
tale that the Prince of Sweden tells
is amusing and interesting enough
for anybody's taste. Carl Carlson

IRON ORE LIMIT NOT REACHED.

H. v. Winchell of St. Paul, who is
in charge of the geological depart
ment of the Great Northern road
and consulting geological for the
Amalgamated Copper company,
was at the Spalding yesterday. He
was asked for his views on the pro-
hable discovery of extensive new
ore bodies in northern Minnesota,
az there is very general opinion,
apparently, that the ore limits are
we'll known and established at the
present time. He said:
~ think that the history of iron
ore in Minnesota will be much the
same as it has been in Michigan.
In the latter state, after forty or
fifty years of development and ex-
ploration they are still making new
discoveries. The approximate
boundaries and locations of the ore
bearing ranges are quite we'll
known. Minnesota will be produc-
ing iron ore for very long time to
come, and everytime they lower the
grade of commercial ore as much
as one per cent it adds millions of
tons to the reserves of the state
