THE SALARY GRAZ,

When the Republican maj ,rity
of the House of Representatives
refused to allow a roll call on the
increase of the salaries of Con
gressmen from 5000 to $500 it
shows they wersidtraid of the peo-
pie As there is over 100 Repub-
loan mai ority in the present Con,
gress there can be no blaming the
grab on the Democrats. for when
the roll was called on the original
proposition they voted against it
In effect the increase gives a cam.
paign fund of $500 to each Con.
gressionsl district for the. chief
claim why the increase should be
voted was that Congressman could
not afford to pay the necessary
election expenses out of their small
salary now the cost OF living 30
high. If.this increased expense of
81 10000 fer salaries of Congress
men leads to an elimination OF
some of the useless ones by the in
creased incentive fer a better GLASS
of men to seek the honor, the peo-
pie will gain by their increased
taxation ALI we can now do is to
hope for the best and await the op
portunity in 1908 to select law
makers better worth the increased
salary than many of the present
Congress have shown themselves
to be.-Wayne News.

One of the most important laws
that has been enacted in the pres.

aboard any train, with the excep-
tion of the liquors or intoxicating
drinks that are sold in the cars

drinking of intoxicating beverages

represented, but confines the sale
of it to the diner, buffet or a car

The investigation of the latest

for the secrecy perhaps is desire
to screen the state administration,

SAYS ATTORNEY HoaG OF THE
STATE Law sCRooL.
Is State Counsel.

past two days is Hon Charles 3
Hogg. dean Of the college otlawof
the West Virginia university.
Mr.. Hogg was seen by a Mail
reporter this morning at the office
of Attorney General May with
whom he was in consultation with
reference to the suit of Virginia VS.
West Virginia pending in the SUI
preme court of the United States
involving the debt question.
Mr. Hogg is one of the counsel
in the case the state of West Vir-
ginia and said today to the Mail
reporter: I'VE owe Virginia
nothing. either from moral or
legal standpoint. The suit will
evidently be decided upon the de-
murrer filed by West Virginia to
the bill of complaint; there are
several points against the merits
of Yirginie's contention. and there
are at least three or four grounds
upon which Virginia's suit cannot
be sustained and upon which the
suit must be dismissed.
If, however" continued Mr..
Hogg 1.-THE court should override
the demurrer leave will be given
to West Virginia to prepare and
file her answer in which all of the
grounds, Independently of the bill
upon which she rests her defense
will be set forth.
II feel satisfied said the sttor.
ney that West Virginia's refusal
to recognize any part of the de
mand made upon her by Virginia
will be fully vindicated by the de.
oision Of the supreme court of the
United States that will render a
decision in this suit"
Nj Hogg is not only greatly in
tsrested in the law suit between
Virginia and this state, bat the
Morgantown university is doing q
very efficient work in all of its
various departments, The faculty
is composed of some very eble men,
who are faithfully devoted as teach.
ers to the departments in which
they are employed The president
is a liberal and broad minded man
with practical views as to the work
of the university and is very highly
respected and revered by all the
students and is held in high ad-
miration by the faculty. He is
in the right place.
1.-THE attendance of the law de.
pertinent is increasing every year
and the force is comprehensive
and practical The facilities offer
ed here for a legal education are
inferior to none and ought to be
embraced by all of the young men
of our state who desire an educs-
ton in the law.
"Ths attendance is now between
eleven and twelve hundred, among
whom are about two hundred
young women who are from among
the best families in the state
"Morgantown,' said Mr.. Hogg.
"is an ideal location for our univer
sity, surrounded with a good moral
atmosphere and free from many
evils which beset some college
towns. We have chapel every
Tuesday, non-seotsrisn in oharao
ter and which are literally attended

upon the whole, the outlook of
the university is full of good cheer
and hope and 1 trust that it will
be that the Legislature will make
such an appropriation as to secure
the continuance of the efficiency
and usefulness of the great institu-
ton of learning."-Charle
