Students OF economic and financial
conditions have been much enlightened
recently by the hearing in New York and
Chicago on the proposed advance in
freight rates. The fact that some of the
roads have shown that they have put a
large amount of their earnings into i'm
proving the property has been contended
by some shippers as a grievance, and
this notwithstanding the fact that the rail-
road rates have not been advanced with
the other prices for services and goods.
The practice OF turning the earnings into
betterment OF the property is sound
financial one which everybody recognl-
yes, and the fact that some OF the ship
pers, as well as rulings OF the Inter State
Commerce Commission, charged this as
d grievance against the railroads was all
amusing one, to say the least, and some
shippers claim that the roads should re-
duce their rates in proportion to their
earnings. The position OF those aSsum-
ing to act for the general public is that
the railways should be allowed to charge
no more than would just prevent their
setting up defence OF confiScation, and
in estimating their permissible income the
lClllWd lS dlC uSih O1 OBOhSohiNh W
be entitled to no more than reasonable
income upon the amount OF their own
funds which they have devoted to public
use. Business men everywhere are won
dering what this will lead to, and know
ing ones are saying that the shippers
fight against the railroads can lead to no
good either to themselves, the railroads,
or the communities which are dependent
on the roads.
THE above item is sent to the Register,
as doubtless to many other papers, by
publicity bureau in RiChmond-b eing an
ingenious way OF getting before the peo-
pie the suggestion that the fight OF the
shippers against the railroads is an un-
reasonable one. We confess that we
haven't much sympathy for the railroads,
for the reason that they are utterly unfair
TO the shippers and the people generally.
This snot theory inspired by preju-
dice-it is fact readily proven by con-
crete examples. For instance, the Viz
ginias Fruit Exchange has just issued
circular showing how the people OF this
section are unjustly Disseminated against,
being compelled to pay unreasonable
tribute to the railroads on fruit shipments.
The freight rate per 100 pounds on APP
pies from Lockport, N. Y, the center OF
that apple-growing section, to certain
southern points, is 81 cents From Charles
Town, Martinsburg and Winchester, ship
ping points for the large orchards of this
section, to the same southern cities the
rate is AZ cents. In other words, the rail-
roads are charging the people of Virginia
and West Virginia 10 cents hundred
more for carrying their products than they
charge the New York fruit growers
though the distance is less by four or five
hundred miles. How can the railroads
expect consideration in the face OF such a
wrong?

EVERY now and then this good old
world takes forward step-glory be |!
Nevada, the last stand OF the wide-open
gambling games, has just shut down on
this form of vice by passing very strin-
gent gambling law: and the crooks
and toughS know not where to look for
new pastures. Here in the East the big
fairs are shutting down on gambling
schemes, betting on the races has been
made illegal, and crookedneSs in general
is being repressed.
Who says the people haven't the pow

The convention ofthe American Prison
Association and the International Prison
Association in Washington the past week
was an exceedingly important and inter-
esting meeting. The most distinguished
and the ablest criminologists in the world
and prison and reformatory experts from
the United States and other leading ma
tions were present and took part in the
conventions affairs, giving the last word
in modern methods along this particular
line of work. An impressive feature no.
ticeable was that the superintendent and
wardens and officers OF various sorts en-
gagged in the management OF prisons
were not men of Drawn and muscle and
sternness, but brainy, earnest, big-heart-
ed gentlemen who are giving their best
thought and service to the problems OF
this work. The keynote OF the addresses
and discussions was that prisoners con-
victed of crime are not TO be regarded as
objects to be punished and TO suffer the
revenge of offended society, but rather
unfortunate men who are TO be corrected
and reformed who are to be given new
chance in life; who are to be trained, If
possible, into useful citizenship; and who
are to have reward for good conduct even
if they have been punished for wrong
doing. The wise. broad, kindly Senti-
ments of the jailors toward the jailed
seemed in striking contraStto the usually
accepted views OF prison management,
and the spirit of practical Christianity that
prevailed must go far toward the improve
ment of society when il is so wisely di-
rected toward helping the lowest elements
of that society.
II is reflection upon West Virginia
that not one official representative OF our
State institutions was present at the con-
vention. The sole delegate from the
State was citizen whose only interest
in the work was OF general character.
So much could have been learned and
absorbed from the meetings, it is almost
a crime that our prison and reformatory
officials did not attend.

This is quite likely true-but how is
it that the courts decision is known

THE Board OF Regents at meeting
held in Clarksburg last Friday elected
Col. Thomas E. Hodges as president of
the West Virginia University. He will
succeed DR.. D. B. Purinton, who has
resigned and will retire from tie office
July |. 1911. Colonel Hodges then re-
signed as president of the State Board OF
Control, and after spending several
months in visiting the leading colleges
and universities in this country, will go
to Europe for six months tour and
study OF schools abroad He will return
in time to take up his work about the
first OF October, 1911. Under the law,
he cannot hold State office until he has
been out OF the State Board of Control
at least one year. COL Hodges is one of
the best known and most highly esteemed
Citizens of West Virginia, and his ap-
pointment will be approved of by hun
dreds of friends throughout the State.
He is an able, earnest, high-minded man
OF the best type, whose record privately
and publicly is without flaw. He has
made good in every position that he has
held, and there is no doubt that he will
be a very successful and popular and
efficient man at the head of our State
University.

WORK OF THE TRAINING SCHOOL
Prin. R. H. Burns told of what the
Training School is doing for the schools
of Rusk County. He said the Training
School is a school to make trained
teachers for the schools, Education
alone does not make a teacher. She
must learn how to do by doing; this is
learned in the Training school. The
student not only studies the subjects
she will later teach, and how to teach
them; but under guidance of the facul-
ty, does actual teaching. Through
fifty weeks spent in the study of school
management and related subjects, the
students learn how to care for children
while in school.
The Training school further aids the
schools of the county by aiding in edu-
cational meetings held in the county
schools, and in teachers meetings.
Frequently books are loaned to the
county teachers. 1t is hoped that when
the school is in its new quarters much
more .'field work" may be done.
Mr.. Burns asked the members of the
school boards to further support the
school by encouraging young people,
who seem we'll fitted to become teach
ers, to attend it.
INSPECTOR LARsON's ADDRESS

teachers to work for them; they should
be the judges of the work she does.
Although all school board members are
competent to Judge of the results ac-
complished in the schools. the teacher
is the best Judge of the methods of
school work. The ordinary persons

lected for that purpose. There is a
bill now under consideration by the
education committee of the State Leg
islature that will give the counties of
the state this opportunity if it can be
enacted into law. Do you want it?
The subject of better teachers was
taken up and it was stated by the sup
erintendent that minimum salary law
would be worthy of study by the school
boards. The schools need better equip
ment, and school boards are more than
willing to supply what is needed if it
can be shown what is best to supply.
The school boards were congratulated
upon the manner in which they have
provided for the schools. One thing
noticeable in equipment is that nearly
every school is provided with a good
ventilating system.

on the bank, saw the boys go down; one
of them went for help, while the other
remained to get any help which might
come that way.
