REMARKABLE
Growth is Shown by Wesley
an in Possessions, Work
and Patronage.

Wesleyan College was opened in
1880 upon an unimproyed campus
in one unfinished building, with a
few teachers and few students. In
spite OF the fire in February, 1905,
which totally destroyed the main
building, the assets OF the institution
have increased to over onc-third Of
a million dollars. There has been u
yearly. gain of more than $l12, 900
since the school opened.
With the exception of the gifts OF
DR.. D. X, Pearsons $4,000, An
drew Carnegie $2S,15Oi John q
Arch5old $4,000, Mrs. "A. S. Glason
$4,000 and two or three other small
donations, the money for Che col
lege has come from the people OF
West Virginia. Literally, thous-
ands have made their contributions
to the school because they too saw
that 1t just must be.
The college does deserve the
largest help because it exclusively
serves large population, and does
straightforward, standard work. 1t
Is clearly destined to become one of
the noteworthy colleges of the coun-
try.
The youth of West Virginia de-
serve facilities equal to those in
neighboring states.

Comment on Convention
In Munsey Editorial

Senator Bourne has reopened the
question Of the representation Of the
States in Republican national conven-
TONS" says Munseys Magazine edi-
torially. Each State, under the presen,
system, has two delegates FOR eacn
Senator or Representative in Congress;
total, l,064 If Arizona and New
Mexico come into the sisterhood. they
will raise the number to l,072 In next
years convention. which will nomi-
nate the party's Presidential candidate.
''Of these delegates, 252-almost one
quarter Of the total-will represent the
eleven Southern States, although there
Is no reasonable expectation that any of
can vote in the Electoral College. Texas
will have forty delegates, although the
Lone STIR, State has never cast an
electoral vote for Republican. On the
other hand, Iowa will have only twenty
six. although for more than nifty years
an one but Republicans.
THE Senator from Oregon criticises
this plan. He would give every State
four delegates at large-total, including
Arizona and New Mexico. l92-and then
would distribute the rest IN propor-
ton to the number of Republican votes
cast in each State.
This plan would tend to the selection
of Republican candidates for the Presi-
dency by the people who must vote for
them If they are to win at the polls.
1t would prevent the office-holding Re-
publican groups from Southern States
being SO overpotential as they are now
1t would break the control Of national
conventions by political organizations
based on patronage
