THE REPUBLICAN RECORD.

~ he Democratic peewee pipers harp lot about
the telephone bills the Governor pays, but
they don't dare attack the legislation the
present Republican administration Of this state and
the Republican legislature enacted, for they would

legislation and other acts of Republican state con-
troll
Lest Republicans are inclined to forget, we
saumerate only the following, which are enough to
shed credit on any state, and all given West vr-
ginia by Republicans: Abolition Of the pernicious
Tee system in state offices, which has saved tho
sstate $4,000; abolition of all fees in all county
offices saving the counties of the state more than

VILLA, THE ONE TIME PET OF
WOODROW WILSON.

q ENATOR LEWIS, one of the big Democratic
~ leaders of the Senate, and the special defender
Of the Administration and more especially of
It's Mexican policy, made speech the first week in
august in which he admitted that President Wilson
was on the point of recognizing Villa as the head
of the Republic of Mexico, and that this would have
been done only for the fact of the criticism of the
Republicans
Villa is the only man in Mexico who paid any
attention to any of the polite letters which Wood.
row had written from time to time to the several
bandit leaders Of that country 1t will be recalled
that McManus was murdered in the City of Mex
leo while Villa and his gang of land pirates were in
control, and so, rather than have any possible
trouble at the time he paid to the relatives of Me-
Manus the sum Of 10000 pesos And this is the
only instance where the relatives of murdered
Americans have ever been able to get any attention
or any satisfaction.
Even Lansing, Secretary Of State had denounced
Villa as late as June 90, 1916, as bloody handed
murderer whose career of crime was known from
one end Of Mexico to the other, and whom every
body knows as an assassin throughout the world.
Think of it, Villa the murderer the liar the assas-
sin for hire, his character known to the State De-
partment at the very time that this administration
was about to recognize him as the governing pow
or Of the Republic Of Mexico Americans should
remember this also and should think about it twice
IN the 7th day of November.

RESUMES WORK For TRINITY

The executive committee OF the
hoard of trustees of Trinity uni
versity. at a recent meeting, elected
Roy J. G.. Smith as financial COM
missioner OF the university. HIS
Immediate duties will be the Sc
curing of funds to meet the deficit
in current expenses that has accum-
ulated during the recent financial
stringency. Mr.. Smith has, already
entered upon his duties, and II is
expected that during the fall months
he will be able to raise sufficient
funds to pay off the deficit.
1t is a we'll known fact that no
school that maintains high stand
ard of excellence can meet its cur
rent expenses from tuition fees. In
fact. it cannot pay more than 35 to
so per cent of its running expenses
from this source. Until a school is
adequately endowed, it is absolutely
necessary that the friends of the in
stitution assist in meeting the ex-
penses of maintenance. The coli
lege board of New York mas been
very generous to Trinity and has
enabled it to prevent the accumula-
tion of any large deficit. With re-
turning prosperity, it is confidently
expected that within few months
the Indebtedness that has been in
Cured will be met.
Mr.. Smiths well known ability in
this line of work insures early liqui-
dation of the debt incurred for cur
rent expenses.
