WEST LIBERTY NORMAL.

Friends OF the West Liberty Normal
School propose to ask the Legislature
for an appropriation sufficient to pro-
vide that Institution with dormitory,
gymnasium and additional study halls.
II has been . matter Of surprise to
Tho fnteTligencer that the students,
alumni and authorities OF the West
liberty Normal have not long since
secured for this deserving school fuller
recognition from the State authorities.
The West Liberty Normal, through
Its many years OF active operation.
has been q potent influence through
out the Pan Handle counties. To-day
one-half OF the teachers In the coun-
try schools Of Hancock. Brooke. Ohio.
Marshall and wetzel counties are for
mer students OF West Liberty. II Is
impossible to estimate the tremen-
dous power which that school has ex-
ercised throughout this section during
the past nfty years.
The Intelligencer believes that
schools like West Liberty are to-day
doing as good work as any other
schools in the State. They offer OBJ
portunity for young men and women
OF moderate means TO acquire training
in teaching and advanced experience
in academic studies at lower financial
cost than more ambitious schools.
With all our development and wealth
IL must be remembered that West
Virginia is still a comparatively poor
and undeveloped State. We have still
thousands OF boys and girls who can
not afford to patronize the costlier
places OF learning. who are. however,
none the less devoted students, and
superior school. ideally situated as
West Liberty Is. fills a Geld which no
ambitious college with a faculty OF
half hundred. and a teaching course
full of frills and fancies. can expect
10 serve.
The Eve counties from which West
Liberty draws the majority of its
students pay very large proportion
OF the taxes of the State. They will
nave influential representation in the
Legislature. It needs no argument to
show that the West Liberty Normal
School has been neglected as com.
pared with other schools that have
been more insistant in their demands.
This neglect should not continue. and
the Representatives Of these Ave coun-
ties should concentrate their efforts
70 secure for West Liberty the i'm
provements which the growth Of the
school and the broadening OF educa.
tional interests require.

NOT DIsCOURAGuNG.

while the advocates of woman suf-
frage have hot very much TO brag OF

Is nothing in the results to dishearten

by the popular vote OF Montana and
Nevada, which sweIls the total suf.

In the past four years. the decided i'm

in the electoral college. and that
the women in these States have IL in

WHAT HELPS BUSINESS.

There are indications that the gen.
eral business and commercial situation
has become more hopeful since the
election. due entirely to the fact that
the meddling and disturbing policies
OF the Democratic Congress have been
discredited by the country. A similar
effect was produced in 1896 when IL
was known that a Republican Presi-
dent had been elected. Months before
the party assumed power the long de.
preston OF 1896 began to abate.
and industry and business to thrive
again. II was the confidence the peo-
pie had In the sane and safe economic
policies OF the Republican party that
heartened them. This spirit is again
abroad in the land. although the COM
plete destruction of untoward Demo
cratic influences is two years OF.
The European war will be OF vast
benefit to this country. because we

ufacturing centers OF Europe. For.
eign purchasing for October was on
an enormous scale. and swelled our
exports TO abnormal figures. In a Ger.
tain sense this has saved part OF the
Democratic bacon. Under normal
the balance of trade would
have been tremendously against us.
The war also saved the Democratic
party from complete humiliation last
Tuesday. This is well defined in the
New York correspondence OF a con
temporary which sets forth that for.
eign Affairs enabled the contention to
be made IN the Democratic campaign
that the war was wholly responsible
for the present troubles OF trade and
industry. II furthermore enabled an
appeal to be made for support Of the
administration because OF the inter.
national crisis. Yet Tuesdays vote
suggested that had It not been for the
war. for the argument which Il fur
nished on patriotic grounds. and for
the confusion OF economic factors In

II Is in other States. This could easily
be done by the Legislature when II ad-

the defects OF the Compensation Act

low rate limit imposed on hazardous
