LincoIn,s Birthday.


Sunday, February -, was an an.
niversary OF the birth OF Abraham
Lincoln, the first martyred presi.
dent OF the United States. AS Il
national holiday 1T has been pro
claimed but once by the president oil
the United States. and that was the
centennial year of Lincoln's birth,
when President Theodore Roosevelt
proclaimed it national holiday. II
is not a national holiday.
BY. act OF the West Virginia legis-
lature of 1909 it was made holt
day in West Virginia the same as IT
is in many other states and it car.
ries with it the various features OF
all other holidays except provision
relating to its observance by the
schools. The school provision reads
that the common and graded
schools of this state, the terms oil
which have not expired upon said
last named day CFebruary 12) shall
remain in session and hold eppro-
pirate ceremonies in honor OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, unless his birthday
fall upon Saturday or Sunday"
Under the belief that February IL
is a national holiday Sundays
Wheeling Register contained the
following editorial expression of ap,
prevail of supposed act by Con.
gress making that day national
holiday, and the country generally
without regard to section or politics
will doubtless soon be united in the
belief that a man whose name is SC
closely and tittingly linked to that
of George Washington in the ma
tons history, the former creatinE
the nation and the latter keeping Il
intact, should be remembered b!
the nation with the day OF his b:rtt
set aside as national holiday:

epigrams for which We are indebted
to Linooln and that familiar phrase

in his adherence to any cause which

and it was an honor most worthil!

Graduating Exercises.

The Importance OF graduating ex-
ercises in the common schools as an
encouragement to boys and girls in
educational work is strongly hut
properly emphasized as follows by
the department OF free schools OF
the state in a bulletin of the common
school diploma as follows:
The plan OF holding graduating
exercises for those who complete the
work of.the common schools can not
be commended TOO highly. In some
places last year exercises were held
at the county seat for all the gradu-
ates of the county; in others, the
exercises were held in the districts
and in some cases interesting ex-
ercises were held for different
schools.
These exercises, whether they be
for the county, district or individual
school, are instrumental in empha-
sizing the importance OF the work
of the common schools and in arous-
ing interest in at least common
school education for every child.
This is especially true in rural COM
munities where school opportunities
are frequently all too limited. They
are one OF the best means of stimu-
lating the proper activity by not
only providing for but insisting on
the best degree OF public school ed
ucation within their possibilities for
every boy and girl in the state. The
young people who receive these di-
plomas are in that period of life
where the impressions they receive
are most lasting. Many men and
women who have achieved success
have done so because of the ispira-
tion and encouragement received on
such occasions.
The programs should provide for
some OF the best music that can be
secured in the county. The speaker
for the occasion should be one who
will bring a word of encouragement
for what the pupils have done, one
who has clear and intelligent Wis
ion OF the possibilities that lie be,
lore these boys and girls, and one
who has the power to make them
see that vision. He should lead them
to know their privileges for con.
tinuing their education and heir
them to see what they have so ia,
accomplished is just a beginning Of
what they need and what they are
entitled to.

As It seems to be the purpose OF
the legislature to submit the
Question. It should thoroughly salts
~ Itself that the proposed amend
ment is in constitutional form and
that the method Of putting It into
force, II RATIFIED, Is also constttu-
tional. FFIE
al there can be no other legal con-
structton Of the article than what 1t
plainly says. that is, lthat the
amendment shall be in force from
the time Of its ratification, as part
OF the constltption OF the state the
prohibition amendment may contain
a pretty good joker as 1t is now. Can
not the courts hold that the pro
vision in the proposed amendment
fixing the time Of It's going into eff
feet is secondary and uneonstltu-
tiopal, but that the basic or pri-
mary part OF the amendment having
been ratified is constitutional and it
at once becomes a part Of the con-
stitution OF the state? If such
should, be the case. the state would
be dry almost two years prior to the
date fixed in the present resolution.
The amendment is one of vital i'm
portance as the action taken ON it at
the polls will settle the same for
several years at least, and there
should be nothing in it that casts a
shadow of a doubt as to its consti-
tutlonality, and nothing therein
that might cause a judicial CON
structlon to impose upon the people
something for which they did not
vote as a majority.
