Mon,ments 81 Progress.

People OF Clarksburg are to be con-
graduated on the enlargement OF their
public schooling facilities, resulting
from the erection of the magnificent
Linden avenue and Washington Irving
high school buildings. These struct-
ures, designed and equipped in accord
ance with the latest achievements OF
science, provide not only additional
quarters long needed here but also
broaden the scope OF public educa-
ton and will better equip the rising
generations to take up their life work.
In the new high school building
several new departments have been
provided for, notably the domestic
science and the commercial depart
ments. the former Of which VIII bet
ter equip many a young woman to
manage a household in accordance
with modern ideas and the latter of
which will give many a young man
better grasp OF business principles,
none OF whom would receive the adj
Ivantages OF instruction in these
branches were they not included in
the regular public school curriculum.
Besides, many other facilities are
afforded that will further aid the pu-
pills in their studies. The splendid
gymnasium, for example, Will better
enable the pupils to develop them
selves physically and this will GER
tainly increase their Intellectual eff
fectiveness.t
Not only are those who are directly

public schooling the better and more

ing generations and this viii rebound
to the benefit Of the community as a
whole. Wherefore. much credit is due
to the board Of education OF the dis
,trict, the members of which, after try
ing difficulties and senseless oppost-
ton, have finally accomplished SO
much for the school students. The
untiring work of several years now
stands out IN public monuments Of
which all are proud and which will
mark the members OF the board as
faithful, prudent and wise public SER

That FreIeht Tax.

At meeting of the Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee OF the House Of Representa-
tives Democratic Leader Underwood
forced adoption of the freight tax OF
two per cent in the proposed war tax
bill in time of peace by declaring that
the freight tax was an administration
policy, and 1t was, therefore, the duty
Of the committee to support 1t.
Mr. Underwood's view is quite
different from that held by the Amer
lean people and it certainly does vio-
lation to the federal constitution. but
disregard for that instrument is SO
common on the part Of the present ad-
ministration that the Democratic lead
er seems to have no conjunction in
that respect. Congress has not been
permitted to exercise its constitutional
functions, although in a way 1t has
undertaken to stand out for that right
in a number of instances. 1t is not
necessary to go to the Congressional
Record to recall this fact BIS the Demo-
cratic press has been telling the peo-
pie from time to time about the great
victories President Wilson has won
by forcing Congress to adopt his
measures Their columns have been
full OF news items showing the LASH
ing of the administration whip in fore
ing measures through Congress.
. And, now Mr.. Underwood declaring
himself the representative of the pres
ident is trying to force Congress to
impose the enormous burden of $685.

but the revolt is greater than ever and
the president may have to back down
on his proposition to add this stupen-
dous amount to the cost OF living in
this country.
The freight tax viii not be on lux

mon commodities, the essential things

of reducing the cost OF living as prom
Used in the last presidential compafgn,
the president and the Democratic
leader in the House are found in this
instance deliberately trying to force
Congress to increase the cost of living.
VIII, the American people be longer
fooled? News dispatches say that at
least a number Of the Democratic
members of the House in revolt de-
clare that this is an inopportune time
for the passage OF such freight tax
and that in view OF the fact that the
November election is near at hand
they believe the presidents recon-
mendation for the imposition OF q
freight tax is q big political blunder.
This phase OF the situation indicates
that were the election out OF the way
there would be no revolt against the
president, an Indication that should
serve as warning to voters at the
November election. Democratic mem
bers say it is political inexpediency to
pass such freight tax now, which
means that they may be willing Il
pass 1t after the November election

Whether the various political or

Kansas City Journal, the votes for
women propaganda has become g
force IN national politics and must
henceforth be reckoned with. AS long
as the women merely devoted them75
selves to general agitation. the move
me1it could be; and was to large ex-
tent, ignored But now that they are
devoting their energies to the very
definite purpose of defeating senators
and representatives who have gone on
record against the suffrage cause,
their activities must be taken into
account.
~; 1t is probable that few of these pub
lie servants will really be retired be-
cause of theor opposition to suffrage.
But it IS also probable that few Of
those who have not thus far incurred
the active resentment of the women
will be likely to do SO. Therein lies
the strength Of the suffragists' attack.
Congressman who have not drawn fire
will be careful how they invite the att
tentioni Of the suRragist battery. Thus
the cause Of votes for women has
made distinct advance. Political
battles are won by centering attack
upon the Individual. The suffragists
have finally recognized this stragetic
fact, and the tardy recognition dis
appoints those who had hoped the
movement would burn itself out in
generaIfties. The struggle for wom-
ans politira1 rights in the United
States has ceased to be amusing. Here

and as an insistent problem.
