"A Square Deal"

The Cumberland ITmrs makes merry
over an alleged joke in the road bill-the
provision that requires monthly publ
cation of the Directors expenditures in
the newspaper which offers to sell space
at the lowest cost.
The JOURNAL does not admire that
idea, but it is less Objectionable than
the Times amendment to contine it to
"the two papers of opposite politics
claiming to have "the largest circula-
ton"
1t; is about time that the people had
begun to stop paying partisan news
papers because they are partisan, for such
papers have no preferentials or differ
entails" whatever in their favor.
If the Allegany representatives will
amend the bill, therefore, so as to dis
tribute the work to all the papers in the
county at rates other advertisers pay
they will do exactly the fair, square
thing

With salary of $500 and perq's any
Mayor with new-reservoir fad can
force it on the people within two years.
Hence, that period is term too long for
an expensive Mayor.
1t is said the Gas people have a bill
for extension to Hagerstown, etc,
which, if passed, will exempt them from
taxation both there and here. Seems
incredible, but legislative Alleganians
in Annapolis better look at the bill with
microscopic care.
Notwithstanding the great storm of
Sunday the pastor of the Congregational
Church was able to count 80 worship
pers. In the Cumberland Times or
Homecoming star office that figure would
be regarded as leading circulation
for day like that.

The Grafton CIV. Va Leader says
"some patriots have started revolu-
ton in Haiti" and wants Teddy to
whack EN- with stick that is big. "
And now as the 22d inst. is coming
closer every day, it says eff Washington
lived in these days, he would be called
an anarchist or, at least, an undesirable
citizen" But Washington was success
full, which makes all possible difference
between rebels.

Three Thoughts.

The time for selecting Mayor and
three Councilmen for next year is ap-
preaching, and it should be understood
then as now that this town does not
want anybody in those offices who is in
favor of building new reservoir.
There is not defect that atflicts the
present reservoir that cannot be cured
at comparatively small cost, and if the
slaughter house near by be a menace,
better build for the owner a new one
with other drainage than put SIS, 900 in
a new reservoir.
Again-if the town has $4,000 to in
vest in water equipment, better put that
sum in metres-one for every consumer,
and thus eguaIjze the cost to all and
make each consumer an economist of
the supply.

Fairmont Normal School.

The present years work, so far, of the
Fairmont State Normal School is one of the
best IN the history of the school. The presi-
dent and the faculty are giving individual
attention to the students in planning their
work to the best interests of the students,
allowing them to take the work they need
most where practicable. Whenever a suf-
ticient number of students desire any special
work i'll the course class is organized.
Drawing, penmanshlp, music and express
sion are given their share of time along
with the other The teachers training de
partment is gradually becoming prominent
feature of the school.
The spring term will begin Tuesday,
March "a, thus enabling many teachers to
attend the spring term after their terms of
teaching have closed. The spring term will
afford many opportunities for teachers not
found elsewhere.
Why not our own boys and girls avail
themselves of this opportunity which the
State has provided for intellectual develop
ment?-Grafton (W. Va.) Leader
The JOURNAL reproduces the forego-
going to show how differently at least
two features are viewed here
|, Teachers who have never enjoyed
normal-school training-who have a su-
perintendents' certificate of proficiency
instead of diploma, do not need fur
Their training" They know it all, and
feeling secure, very many of them, in
the language of one, have no use for
normal schools no way"
2, Probably "our own boys and girls"
need so-called training school" near
home-right in Grafton, especially if the
county system is one which fixes con-
venience to "board at home" as the best
of all qualifications of a teacher for a
certain school.
Madame Roland yelled 80, liberty,
what crimes are committed III thy
namen" The JOURNAL, however, will
not borrow the term, "crimes," in any
exclamation about public education.

The tramp is ''non-taxpayer," but
all "non-taxpayers" are not tramps.
To avoid a distinction so radical
therefore, the JOURNAL said

small and smaller taxpayers be included.

mately, but not the kind of "labor''
that has time to seek to eat more
''taxes" than it pays"

three State Normal Schools, and the
Legislature, in session. is making pro-
vision for three more at probable cost
of 100000 for buildings alone.
In his report to the State Board of

cipal of the Frostburg State Normal

will enable State Normal pupils to enjoy
the same privilege other pupils do-to
obtain text books from the State free of
charge This, be believes, can be done
fran the free book fund surplusages
without injury to the common schools;
that it will augment the number of
Normal School students and add to gen
eral efficiency.
He also insists upon dormitory for

pupils.
