The PRESIDING oEFicER.

II will be generally conceded that
the two branches Of the legislature
have been wise in their selection of
presiding officers. They are both
known to be friends of tax reform.
President Foreman has been strong
advocate of these measures. His past
record is good. He has been the
peoples champion in all matters that
have been before the law-enacting
body The citizens of this state can
feel save with Mr.. Foreman as the
presiding officer of the senate.

Impossible for the Mountain State to
DE in debt. A state debt is pos
itively prohibited by the constitution.
TO meet the expenses Of the state
without mourning debt is the prob
lem that each session Of the legisla-
ture is called npon to solve.
Many of the more important items
OF state government are taken up
and recommendation made that win
be well for the legislature to consid-
er. The question OF taxation and the
choosing Of public officers is given
much attention.
The question discussed by the gov
ernor. which is probably of the most
importance to the people Of Martins
burg at the present time, is in refer
ence to the granting Of charters OF
municipalities. The charter which the
people Of Martinsburg will ask the
| Legislature TO grant, is along the
lines laid down by the governor, and
| II should meet with his approval. II
there is any effort to have the cities
divided into classes and charters pre-
scribed for the several classes. the
legislature could do no better than TO
adopt the most excellent one prepar-
ed by our commission, and make 1t
standard.
The session will continue for forty
Ave days and it's work viii be watcn-
ed with much interest by the people
all over the state.

BUILDING AND
LOAN ASSOCIATION
Holds Banquet at Successful Wind-up
Of the Alphabetically
Encouraging.

The officers and directors of the
HONS Building and Loan association,
OF this city, together with some OF
the stockholders and a few invited
CHESTS, gathered around the banquet
board at P. Otto Schneider's Thurs
day evening.
The banquet was to commemorate
the winding up of the affairs of the
association. Mr. G. A. Miller, presi-
dent of the association presided, and
after the good things set before the
gathering had been disposed OF, he
called for report, from Mr. w. E.
Outcalt, secretary of the society.
This report showed the most excel
lent work done by the association
during the time Of its existence. The
association was organized on May L..
1902, with capital stock of $4,000,
which was afterwards reduced to
100000 The full amount of the
stock, was subscribed and after rum
ming for six years and five months
paid out to each shareholder the fun
amount of the stock and has left in
the treasury balance of $1,000,
which will be divided pro rata among
the stockholders. This money was
loaned principally to persons who
built homes for themselves, and
through this association nearly $780,
GOO worth of property has been
erected.
The report was most gratifying to
those present and nearly every one
present had some complimentary
words for the admirable manner in
which the business of the associa-
ton had been carried on.
Mr.. D. NJ Kilmer. treasurer of the
association told of the financial end
Of the matter in very interesting
manner. He reviewed the work of the
six years and spoke Of the returning
confidence in building associations.
There were sixteen gentlemen pres
ent and they all showed their enthus-
iasm OF the results accomplished by
the association. and attributed it to
the efficient work of the officers.

JUDGE DAYTON AND THE NAVY

1t would not only be a great honor
to Judge Dayton to be placed in the
Taft cabinet, but 1t would be a COM
pliment to the state to have it's one
time congressman preside over the
destinies of our great navy. If there
is one subject that Judge Dayton is
more familiar with than another, 1t
is naval affairs. AS member of the
committee on naval affairs, while
serving in congress. he was untiring
in his efforts to give this nation a
navy that would be credit to great
world-power There was probably no
man in congress who gave more at
te1tion, or went farther into the de
tails of naval affairs than he did.
There is no one more fitted to hold
this high position, and Mr.. Taft would
have an able advisor if he can per-
suade the judge to accept the porto
Ito.

This particular association has been

a home, which without the aid thus
afforded would have been impossible.
This organization has proven that all
such associations are not bad. They
have not lost one cent during their
existence and have surplus to di-

Home enterprises of this sort are
to be commended and should receive
the hearty support Of every citizen.
More conducted along the same lines

that the good example thus set viii
