scherr's sudden Change Of Heart.

SNhIhA A'hhhNh SAA&A4AkSV Va AhNuh "
Mr.. Scherr made 1t clear that his
ambition to become governor of West
Virginia was now of minor import
ance because the battle was not one
OF personalities, but one of princi-
pies than cannot be compromised
Wheeling Intelligencer.
The political party scherr has with
drawn himself from gave him all the
public offices he ever had and some
OF the leaders he is now condemning
helped to nominate and elect him
state auditor for eight years. So
long as public office was being given
him by the Republican party and
these leaders, there was no whimper
from him as to principles. His
change of heart came. when he saw
himself beaten for the Republican
nomination. 1t was quite sudden as
he was fooled by some of his support
ers into believing he had the nomina-
ton in the palm of his hand, al
though some of them secretly admit
ted his defeat long before the con-
vention time.

Bryan meeting was billed for Clarlfs-
burg, the home OF Mr.. Reed, who
was editor Of the Telegram at that
time. To Offset the probable effect
Of this meeting was one Of the prob
lens confronting the Republicans.
Reeds solution OF the problem was
an editorial to Mr.. Bryan asking him
In his clarksbuFg speech to answer a
series Of questions relative to his free
silver theories. These questions were
so adroitly framed that they could.
hardly have been answered without
marring the beauty of Mr.. Bryan's
16 to argument, and It is needless
to state that he avoided them. Sem
ator Hanna, chairman of the Repub-
lIcan committee, seeing the editorial
in some paper that had copied It, at
once noted the force and relevancy
of the questions and without delay he
arranged to have It printed in Re-
publican newspapers through the
United States. AS printed the col
umn was headed Reed to Bryan, :"
and It was generally thought that
the author was Thomas B. Reed, the
great speaker from Maine. Some
time afterward, the real author Of
the article, Stuart Reed, state SEN
ator and editor of Clarksburg, West
Virginia, was introduced to Senator
Hanna in Washington, and before the
campaign closed Mr.. Reed was invit-
ed to come to ONO TO participate in
the speaking campaign in President
McKinley's home state. Among Mr..
Reeds possessions are the letters he
received after the election. from both
President Mckinley and Senator
Wanna, expressing their thanks for
his splendid work In that cam
paign.'
"Mr. Reed was born and reared on
"a West Virginia farm. He gradual
ed from the State Normal and later
from the West Virginia University.
He was elected and served with dis,
tinction as a member of the twenty
third state senate. His active polit-
ical service began when he left the
school room to make Republican
speeches. In every campaign, since
his iboyhood, he has given his best en-
ergies by voice and pen. fighting for
his party.
"He comes from the rock-ribbed
Republican county of Harrison that
has not had place on the state
ticket for twenty years.
"Mr. Reed is one of the most de-
serving Republicans in the state. He
is splendid orator, possesses high
executive ability and would make an
ideal secretary of state.
He has been member OF the
Board OF Regents of the West vir-
ginia University, a member of the
Republican state committee, and a
member of the executive committee
OF the National League of Republican
Clubs"

A fallacy is going the rounds OF
the press that Arnold c. Scherr has
always been ready to submit his can
didacy to primary elections. All
who remember that early in the
campaign he had the state commit
tee called here in reference to
Kanawha county to consider a pro-
test he had will readily see that the
statement is a fallacy. He had am
pie opportunity to enter the primary
in Kanawha but he refused. This
stamps falsity on the story that he
was ever ready to submit his candi-
dacy to primary elections There
need be no more said t9 expose the
fallacy of the story.

An Ideal Secretary.

An ideal secretary of state is what
the Parkersburg Dlspatch-News says
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, the Republican

In reviewing Senator Reeds life and

in some detail:
Hon. Stuart F. Reed. who aspires
to the position Of secretary OF state
of West Virginia. is not unknown to
Republican leaders in Ohio, says the
Cincinnati Times-Star:

The Morgantown Post-Chronicle
recognizes the fact that Scherr IS run
ming on a ticket nominated by a new
party and not by the Republican par
ty. The recognition is shown by the
fact that 1t does not use the word,
Republican, at the head of the ticket
1t is publishing. 1t is far more hon
est in this than some other papers,
which are perpetrating fraud in this
particular in order to deceive their
readers.

COLLEGE FARM MANAGERS.
Results Expected from Agricultural
College Graduates.

Persons seem to expact more OF grad
yates OF colleges, of agriculture than Of
those of other kinds OF colleges, writes
Prof. L. II. Bailey IN the November
Century. They seem to expect that these
men will be able at once to do all kinds
OF farm work. tell just what the soil
needs" know what to. do with animals
in health and disease, and In particular
to be able quickly to restore q rundown
farm to profitableness and to be willing
to do II ION shares Persons do not
seem to realize the fact. that agriculture
is a name not for one occupation, but
for a series OF many occupations, and
every one of these occupations should re-
quire special training. The average college
graduate Is not yet a mature man; he
may not have had much practical ex-
perlence with more than one kind of farm
ing, and of course this experience cannot
be gained at college; his judgment must
be developed and proved.
The graduate of a college OF law reads
law for a time before he enters practice:
the graduate of architecture enters an
architects office; the graduate in medi-
cine engages in hospital service; the
graduate In mechanics enters a shop to
learn the business; yet It is expected that
the graduate of agriculture will be able
at once to assume full responsibility for
a big business. and he is censured II he
makes a mistake. The trouble is that
there are yet no adequate opportunities
In this country for the graduate In agri-
culture to learn the business or to test
himself, II he needs such test, as there
are for other students. Farmers do not
take students on such a basis. Most
farms do not properly instruct the boys
before sending them to college. Farm
practice should be learned at home, not
at college. The net result is that while
much Is expected OF the student In agri-
culture, little opportunity is afforded
him in the way of any training thai fifty
supplements his college course. The
agricultural colleges cannot do their best
work for the farms until the farms come
to their aid. OF no college is so much
demanded as OF the agricultural colleges,
because they are called on not only to
educate young men and women. but also
to find the ways of making profitable
the occupation on which they rest. They
are not only educational. but economic
