Extended statistics showing the
growth of high schools in West vir-
ginia during Republican rule cannot
be given because the previous ad-
ministration had but little to report
on this subject and the small facts
given are not reliable, and are based
on low standards. The biennial re-
port OF the state superintendent OF
schools for the year 1928 (page
16) says:
Although West Virginia is cred
tied with twenty-four or twenty-five
high schools, she must for the pres
ent content herself with the reputa-
ton of being one Of the very few
states without first class high
school,"
Instead of such apologies being
necessary at the present time, we
are in a position to boast of a high
school development and high school
condition hardly equalled for rapid
progress and high standards in a
state Of the union.
West Virginia can now boast of 1854
public high schools, almost hundred
Of which are four-year high schools
Of the first rank. We have three
county high schools, forty-six town
and city high schools, and one hun.
dred and fifteen district high schools

the conclusion Of the elections of
1914: that the tendencies observable
two years ago have vigor-are not
weakened, but actually strengthened.
The 'off-year' theory is smashed be-
yond repair.
I'm 1914 it was demonstrated that
the split in the Republican party was
not fundamental. Maine proves that
answer was correct. 1t is only
necessary to study the returns OF
1914 to find the answer to the prob
lem of 1915. The long, four-year
wave is now rolling in. When it
breaks in November its power will

WHO Kent us Ont of Mnr1


Theodore Roosevelt, speaking in
Maine, and Charles w. Fairbanks, ac-
cepting the Republican nomination for
the vice presidency in Indianapolis,
both stuck spikes into the Democratic
campaign slogan that president Will
son has kepthls out of war" Colonel
Roosevelt branded the temporary oc-
cupation Of Vera Cruz as futile, dis
honorable warfare, entered into
polntlessly and abandoned ignobly,"
to the vast damage of the Mexicans and
ourselves. Mr.. Fairbanks declared
there has been real war in Mexico. due
to our own aggression.
In this connection 1t Is fair and prop
er to think of Mexico in terms of other
nations. Suppose Mexico had been as
strong as almost any of the belliger-
ents of Europe. Would the Vera Cruz
affair have meant war? The answer
Is that we would have been fighting in
Mexico today in the full panoply of
war, or we would have fought. come
off victor and obtained peace earlier.
The bald fact is that the Mexicans
and not President Wilson kept us out
OF war, II we concede that the inyas-
ion of Vera Cruz was not war. They
kept us out because. being weak and
torn with internal dissension, they felt
they could not afford to fight back.
Due to this very weakness. they are
keeping us out Of war today.
There is no cause for national pride
in the Vera Cruz expedition il the ad-
ministration was Influenced partly in
undertaking it by a strong presump-
ton that there would be no serious
striking back. Tackling a small boy
because he is small boy is inglorious.
1t does not comport with the idealsm
which many admirers of the present
administration attribute to 1t.

state Bridge Department on the Job.
The contrast between the methods
used by the bridge department Of the
state road bureau and the average
county court in protecting the inter
ests of the public in bridge building
Is clearly shown by what happened
recently in one of the counties in the
eastern panhandle. This county used
the skilled services of the state de-
partment in the construction of its
bridges, the latter furnishing all
plans and specifications and super
vislng through an inspector the con-
struction of the same.
On the particular bridge in ques-
ton, the contractor placed concrete
during the absence of the inspector,
which was contrary to direct orders.
Upon his arrival the inspector claim
ed that the concrete was not of the
grade called for by the specifications,
as the same was apparently mixed too
dry and inferior sand was used. A
controversy concerning the concrete
Immediately arose between the con-
tractor and the state road bureau. To
settle the matter beyond any posi-
bility OF dispute the contractor was re-
quested to cut out of the bridge
about cubic foot of the concrete
and to send the same to the labora-
tory of the state road bureau at Nor
gantown, to be tested in the one
half million pound compression ma
chine. The result of the test showed
the concrete to have strength of
but one-half that called for by the
specifications.
The contrast between this method
of procedure, and that used by some
counties of the state, where, after
completion of the bridge, the county
court goes to the site. takes a look at
the structure and says. fine work" !!
and then pays over perfectly good
money for perfectly worthless
bridge.
Such examples as the above which
are continually occurring should
serve to convince the public that a
more rigid and scientific control must
be brought about through state par
ticipation in county bridge work.
