Gla1scock Wants Platform Prom

PROPOSED PRIMARY Law
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
West Niryinia's Governor-elect and
Republican Leaders at Variance.
Former Says Reform Excise Laws
Must be Passed, as Well as State
Primary Measure
Governorelect and
Primary Measure.

Charleston. w. Va. Jan. Gov.
elect Glasscoek has again stated his
attitude as 10 the republican party's
position on the temperance question.
He said.
4 am anxious that the party carry
out to the letter the platform pledges
for the enactment of county local
option law, and the submission of a
prohibition amendment to the people.
for ratification or rejection, at the
next general election"
The governor-elect's views. as
expressed here, are by no means CO.
incided in by large number of other
party leaders, who hold that the state
could go slow on this matter, and
nat the fulfllment of these partlcu-
lar pledges should be deferred to see
whether the prohibition wave is going
to blow itself out, and TO see how the
experiment works in Ohio and the
other states now trying it, Thus, it
would seem that the new governor,
and many of the party feeders, are
going tolbe widely at variance on this
particular issue.
The suggestion of the temperance
advocates that the great revenue cut
off by statewide prohibition could be
made up by putting production tax
on coal, oil, and gas has caused those
vast and influential interests to sit up
ana take notice, and to throw out
outposts to guard against any enemies
that might be lurking about. Their
substantial help will no doubt be
welcomed by the anti-temperance
people.
Clash Over Primary Law Also.
Another discussion going on, in
which politicians and the press are
taking part, relative to enacting a
general state primary law, indicates
very sharply that there are o great
many people still at large who hold
to the opinion that political plat
forms are made to get in on, and
not to stand on. The governor-elect
appears not to be one of them. He
favors keeping the platform pledge
for a general primary law. There is
a strong sentiment among the leaders,
friends of the new executive, too,
against such an action. They would
comproa Use ON what they term less
radical measures. 1t is not believed
that the senators and representatives,
over in Washington are exactly in
harmony with the Glasscock views on
this particular proposition. If that be
true, and their opinion should remain
unchanged, a satisfactory primary
law may be set down as destined for
the scrap heap.

Normal Schools.

Normal schools received attention
in resolutions. One recommended
that all of the state normal schools
be given better financial support in
order that they might secure the best
possible teaching forces and also
strengthen their professional depart
ments.
The Legislature is asked TO limit the
course of instruction in the state
normal schools to a strictly normal
course, including also a preparatory
normal course, and to eliminate the
academic courses.
The council ordered the resolu-
tons and suggestions to be printed
in pamphlet form ana copies sent to
all of the state legislators, newspa-
pers and all others interested in the
betterment of the conditions OF the
public ochools.

where he attended a meeting Of
number Of the state educators, a de-
tailed report of which follows:
Resulting from suggestions male
at the annual meeting OF the State
Educational society at Ellkins last

superintendent, principals, teachers,
and other school officials, known as
the School Mems Council, was organ
lied at well attended and enthusf-

might, and Saturday Adjournment
was taken Saturday afternoon a-ter
the organization had been completed
and several resolutions passed en-
bodying recommendations to the state
legislature for revision Of the exist
ing school laws with the object OF bet
tering the public schools of West
Virginia.
Among the resolutions passed was
one recommending that boards OF ed
sration should be allowed more dis
erection in the laying OF the school
levies and that the maximum OF the
levy be increased, as under the pres
ent law most boards of education are
seriously handicapped in providing
adequately for the schools and the
students
High School Inspector Wanted.
1t was also recommended that the
Legislature provide for the appoint
memt sby the state board OF educa-
ton of state high school inspector,
who shall visit all the high schools
of the state, inspect the work there
In and make reports on conditions
and needs. His duties are not to car
ny executive authority, but TO be
merely of a suggestive nature.
I'VE favor district high schools"
states one OF the resolutions passed
by the council, but inasmuch as
some districts can not maintain
high school, we therefore favor the
establ ,Ement of union and coun-
ty' high schools; that to this end
union high schools be established
as now provided by law, and, further
that any county high school when
ever one hundred taxpayers shall pc
aition the county superintendent re-
ouesting that such school shall be es-
tablished. A special election shall
then be called. If a majority of the
electors favor the establishment OF
such schools, the county superintend-
emit and the presidents OF the various
district boards shall elect noa-par-
tizan board, consisting of three in
dividuals, who shall constitute a
board Of directors for the county
high school"

on the floor Of the House. but no warnings

With a probable deficit for the fiscal

face and the knowledge that no tariff bill
can be framed which. in the first year Of

Of the government. we are confronted by
the threat of bond issue within a year

Large increases all the way down through
the list Of appropriation bills. passed by
Congress at this session, have swollen the
total expenditures for 1910 in excess Of
any ever known in the history of the gov
eminent Of the United States Millions Of
dollars have been added to current expen-
ditures
The last sessions appropriations reached
total Of si.00s.397. 543. and the appro-
