GETTING AROUSED,

It may be good thing for the
West Liberty State Normal School I,
the recent action OF the Board Of Re
gents can get the city at Wheeling to
wake up and show q little interes,
In the school, n thing it has never
heretofore been accused of doing tC
any alarming extent. The Wheeling
lntelligencer Is cutting some high CT
pers on the question Just now. Woul!
the !ntelligencer kindly give few
figures to show how many students
Wheeling has been sending to the
West Liberty school and in return
how many teachers In the Wheeling
schools received their training at the
West Liberty State Normal? We dc
not wish to ask too many nor Toe
hard questions, nor do we Wish to Sect
ugly in asking them, but the fnteffi
gencer ought TO know and We believe
does know that We must have better
Normal schools or else they can ne
longer maintain the respect Of The
school people OF the State. Many
High Schools are becoming about ~
well equipped Il indeed not better thar
are the State Normal Schools. There
are not sufficient funds to put all The
Normal Schools on n real Norma
School basis, even II that we're de
sirable, and -four of the Norma
Schools are so located that complete
model schools and training depart
ments are impracticable. The Board!
action was taken after mature DELHI

lntelligencer to show little less TEN

! SOM E INQUIRIES.

We do not desire to be considered
curious and we have no disposition to
be making any improper inquiries, but
we! have not heard anything for u
good while relative to the proposed
/ new postofilce building in this city
Isstorz which about $4,000 has already
been appropriated. Some time ago a
government official came to Fairmont
and made some investigations as to
proposed sites and went back without
saying anything about his opinions.
AT the same time the appropriation
was made for Fairmont 100000 was
allowed ior. a federal building at
Plttsbnrg. The, railroads, telephone
and telegraph lines between that
city and Washington have been
kept hot ever since in secur.
ling a. location and formulating
plans for the erection Of the building.
Why tlis slistlessaess at Talrmont?
Isn't 1t about time to get busy and sec
Why there IS nothing doing? 1t would
be. quite a stimulus 70 business to feel
that before long $4,000 and perhaps
more would be expended on Al govern,

Taft Pleased


shown he has Ohio solidly back Of
him, other states may wheel into line
for him and cause a spread of Taft
sentiment.
1t will have one effect, certainly, and
that will be TO increase the activity
of every other candidate. Every state
that has a favorite son TO present ia
the convention will now get busy, and
though the national convention Is
over n year In the future, there
VIII be no cessation of activ
lily until the nomination Is made
or until some one of the candidates
secures enough pledges to assure him
of The nomination.
Taft supporters are very jubilant
over the development in Ohio. They
believe the success of the Taft move
ment Is'now assured and they are nj
ready planning TO put Burton into the
cabinet II he fails to secure the For
aker seat. Another report Is that The
program cOntemplates the oblitera
ton Of Speaker Cannon. politically
and giving the speakershlp to Mr.
Burton.
1t would seem to the observer tina,
some provision should be made for the
Cleveland congressman, since, II this
situation really turns out to be a com
promise, and Foraker is returned tC

the cold. AT least he will have tr
wait until 1911. when he can have q

MET sEARNlNes AND TAXES.


The Hampshire Review renews It's
fight on tax reform this week on two
points, the Inheritance tax law and
The assessments Of corporations by
the Board Of Public Works. We paid
! our respects TO the iallacy Of the ar.
1 gument and mlsstatement Of truth on
the Inheritance TAX law yesterday.
q To;day3swe desire to say a few things
on the taxes Of the Coal and Coke
Railroad. According to the Reviews
statement the net earnings Of the Coal
and Coke Railroad last year were
{ $4,000. The taxes were $4,000, or
about one-fourth Of the net earnings.
Nov, lei; us ask how many farmers IN
the State made four times as much
clear money last year as their tax re.
ygsceipts will show?3 Under the old Dem.
ocradc regime we knew hundreds OF
farmers who dldn'tImake enough mon.
/ ey Overland above expenses each year
Ito pay their taxes. They got deeper
Z and deeper in debt every year But
here we find a new, railroad company,
/ almost the first year Of Its operation,
clearing above all expenses; inclul.
ing taxes 100000. That. looks pref.
$!ty good to US. The. money made in
building new railroads is not gotten
out of It's earnings from operation the
first year or(two.E Senator Davis and
his partners built the West Virginia
Central Into virgin territory where
they owned vast tracts Of coal and
timber lands. The road probably
didn't pay large dividends at first, but
'ss,how mang2 millions did the Senator
and his friends clean up when they
sold the road 10 the Wabash and the
name was changed 10 the Western
Maryland? Negotiations are now said
$toibe pending for the safe of the Coal
md Coke. Do You suppose Uncle
Henry VIII mot try to, get his taxes
black u he sells the road? Or II nc
holds SitSand develops his coal fields
along the line, WIN lie lose any mon.
y ey22 The Review need not worry about
Uncle Henry and his taxes. He will
make George Gould or some other
4 capitalist pay all the excess in taxes
and more. too, before the Coal am,
y Coke changes hands, Wonder II the
.Reylew ever considered how many
other new enterprises don't make
much more thnn enough money 10 pay
their taxes? We have a very close
and vital connection with one which
has not yet earneda dollar above ex.
pensesSins three years. but we haven't
squealedg on paying our taxes. Like
3 any number of such enterprises We
are living in hope that some day our
1 proposition will get on a paying basis.
AN enterprise may run at loss for
a number Of years and yet be very
valuable when once establiseh. We
4 could name any number of business
{ projects in this city that have never
paid a dollar in dividends yet the hold.
\ ings are valuable and SHOULD pay taxes
as other property. Just so with the
Coal and Coke and nil other railroad
4 companies.

THE PARENT OF PANICs

The parent of panics is fear. The timid and selfish depositor frightened by the collapse of stocks which are al ways first to be affected takes his mon. ey from the banks and holds it from the channels of trade. He whispers to his friends or boasts publicly of what he has done and there is the beginning of most bank runs and resultant finan. eial upheavals.
 Banks hold 25 per cent of their de. posits as cash reserves. The balance is in notes, bonds, stocks and other secur- ities for loans. When their cash is gone only fourth of their deposits will have been paid, but their doors rust close; their business must pass through forced liquidation at great loss in values and bankruptcy follows.
 The coward fourth cause this sort of disaster to the three-fourths and then bury their gold, paralyzing trade. In two days $2l,OoO,OOO was withdrawn from two trust companies in New York in this way. Probably this was less than half the amount checked from all banks because of fear in that forty eight hours. Probably also 90 per cent of this enormous total, if not all, was hidden away. Money called for especial police protection and thieves hurried to the city in hope of plunder.
 No city and no country can stand such taking of cash from the users of business. To prevent this however, has heretofore taxed the wisdom of fnanciers until necessity forced New York to the use of clearing house certi- ficates in lieu of cash. The present gen eral adoption of the plan not only keeps Globes money in Globe, but it keeps it in the banks for the uses of business, and the public is realizing the wisdom that makes everyone safe and so effec- tually cheeks the paralyzing of industry and enterprise.
 The temporary suspension of the Globe National bank is a measure em- ployed to stay the hand of the cow ardly fourth who would destroy the threefourths. The bank is as solvent today as during the boom days of last June and July. Its cash reserve is as great and its securities just as ample. But fear, not of the institution, but ef the general financial situation, precipi- tated a still running panic and the doors were closed in the face of the destroyer.
