Removal OF iBroaddus.

Excellent pictures of the new
Broaddus Institute building at Phil
ippi and view of that Gown are
printed in this issue OF the Tele-
gram, together with brief descrip-
ton Of the new building and its new
home town.
The pictures show beautiful and
costly construction and location. The
site is certainly ideal, whether the 10.
cation be or not. The town is an
excellent one and the people there
will doubtless show their apprecla-
ton of such an excellent educational
institution.
The management will be under
the direction and guidance offfifteen
trustees and the General Association
has brought about in this respect an
arrangement. which will more widely
interest the denomination in the
school. DR.. Elkanah HUXLEY, presi-
dent OF the Institute, is capable,
popular educator and the people of
Philippi will like him.
While Clarksburg regrets to give
up this institution, yet heartiest con-
gratulations are extended to Phil
ippi and this city will not lose interest
in the schools success for many years
to come, II ever, and the institution
may recall Clarksburg with the kind
est remembrance and look to this
city for cooperation at all times.
In new home in a new location,
Broaddus ought to and will enter
into new life and Its friends feel
that it will make rapid strides and
at no distant day be one of the lead
ing UNCONVENTIONAL schools in the
state.

Tuft,s Income Tax Plan.

There is diversity of opinion al
ready on the question of the income
tax plan proposed by President Taft,
which in substance is to place a tax
of two per cent. on the net earnings
of all corporations. Lafollette sug-
gests that under such law many
corporations would convert them
selves into partnerships in order to
evade the tax, while others would In
crease the salaries of their high Of

to bonds to evade the tax.

Here are two leaders Of the radio
q element Of the party diiferin,
widely on the subject. in fact quite
opposite to one another. Yet. 1t ap
pears Lafollette is the more honest
Of the two. He does not accept the
proposition blindly but has q
tendency to examine 1t to see
whether 1t is good. True, the spirit
Of his criticism is to question the
proposition, but even what he adj
yances as objections might be over
come by careful and proper framing
OF the amendment.
On the other hand, the only In
SEPARATION Chandler seems to derive
from 1t is the belief that 1t is an OPP
portunity for men who think as he
does TO get control Of the Republi-
can party. Such motive is quite
unworthy. II restricted to that alone.
In a broad sense, however, II he be-
lieves 1t to be an occa-
sion not for radical dom
nation hut for the acceptance Of
policies and measures consclenttously
believed in as best for the country,
his advice Is good. though 1t ought
to be expressed in different way
a way not so selfish.
Really, such tax would he such
an inf1nitesimal rate that 1t Is not
seriously believed that corporations
would oppose It to the extent Chand-
Ter says. For instance. the COM
mon run of corporations which pay
only three per cent. dividends would
have to pay but six cents for each
hundred dollars. Even the Stand
ard, which pays forty per cent. on
The face of its stock, though only six
per cent. on the actual value Of the
stock, would have to pay only twelve
cents on each hundred dollars.
IL the corporations oppose it as
Mr.. Chandler says they will, it ISL
'afe to venture the assertion that
hat opposition will be based solely
'gainst the Roosevelt principle that
he government should have a super
'isory control of the corporations OF

Shall 1t Turn Backwarda
Political progressiveness in

Political progressiveness in this
country is not believed in by some,
who cling to the faith of their faith
ers as II it were gospel and never
needed any changing, and, yet polit-
fcal policies must in fact change to
an extent that will adjust themselves
to the needs of the country. No one
is foolish enough to believe that the
country is to be the same thing all
the time. 1t is foolish to say that
politics a score of years ago should
be adhered to strictly, for the reason
that the country is quite different
from. that of twenty years age.
There must be tariff adjustments,
changes to some extent in financial
policies. and departures from the
customs and practices then. The
American people irrespective OF po-
littcal parties recognize that the
things named are imperative and in
their association with and observa-
ton of changing conditions their
ideas and beliefs are Influenced to
keep up with the natural economic
and civic procession. Men who be-
lieved twenty years ago that free
trade would be good thing do not
believe 1t now. They have been
thrown into positions of familiarity
and observation in this respect and
have learned the effects OF a reason
able protective tariff. All know that
the tariff of twenty years ago would
not suit modern sonditions, and. so
there have been changes of schedules
to adjust the tariff in the main lie
changed conditions. There are but rew
who, would want the government to
go back twenty years. much less tc
Jeferson's time, and resurrect the
primitive policies and foist them or

prove colossal misfit.

Democracy Is Branded by its own.

49, ~ 40 Al ssAAhCu Wy 40 ShHs
What vitality the Democratic par
ty has possessed most OF the last hal
century has been furnished by TIT
South. as the national elections have
disclosed. That has been where tlhs
Democratic party got most of 1t.
electoral vote, and naturally 1t was
supposed by the ordinary reader tina,
the South above all other sections Of
the country understood the tenets Of
the party was true to the faith.
But. Walter Stewart, one of the
old Danes active apostles in Har-
rison county, more discerning than
others of his party. makes the dis
covery taht the South is Democratic
for only one reason, namely, the race
question. He strongly intiinates
with that problem solved
satisfactorily. the Democrats of the
South now would be Republicans
and there would no longer be any
Democratic South. In making this
statement he admits that the DEM
ocratic party for many years has
had no real principles and no plat
form on public question: worthy of
approval. Does he not cause the
conclusion that the South being the
major portion OF the Democratic
party that party's existence has been
maintained alone on the race ques-
ton? And, If so, does he not admit
that the party has no real belief, no
steadfastness Of purpose on great ma
toni policies? Does he not brand
his party with insincerity. when 1t
met time after time in national COR
ventions and adopted platforms,
which did not even have included
the race question?
1t is interesting to read what Mr..
Stewart says as follows on the sub
ject in the editorial columns of al
newspaper that processes to be DEM
ocratic:
If the members of the party do
not repudiate their recreant leaders,
and wrest the control of the party
from the Southern men, new DEM
ocratic party will spring up, deriving
its support largely from the West
and North. The Southern Demo-
Gratis will not support the Republi-
can party as long as It's maintains its
present attitude toward the Negro,
and hence they will strive to stay in
the Democratic party, and con-
tinue to direct It's policies. although
they will vote with the Republicans
in congress on all important meas
ures. If the control OF the party can
not be taken from them. new Dem
ocratic party led by the progressives
of the other sections OF the country.
should be formed Although
the name of the parry is
dear to the thousands of true and
loyal Democrats throughout the
country, yet the principles for which
the party stands. or once stood, are
still dcarer; and if they cannot use
the Democratic party as a medium
through which to advance those prin.
ciples they will oragnize new party
