KEEP OUT THE FILTH.

ESTERDAY. IN the course of long editorial The
Wheeling Inteligencer went on record as being for
The nomination Of Col Fred Paul Grosscup as the Repub-
can candidate for governor If The Inteigencer thinks
it Is proper for newspaper which is justly regarded
as an influential party organ to take sides m primary
entirely within its rights in taking this stand
but ought to realize that if it does anything beyond ad-
vccae the Grosscup ii doing more than it has
Any right to do.
In other words neither The Intelgencer nor any other
newspaper has any right to attack the men it does not
favor IN primary campaign unless it prepared to re-
pudate them nhe event that they secure the party nom
naion IN the regular way.
In editorial of yesterday The Intellgcncer has some
things to about the campaign of 1915 and men whose
hands still dripping with the blood of the Republican
nominee for governor in 1916" Now that kind of tao
tcs and especially that kind of language put the mdet
possible construction upon it. pure nonsense The best
thing the Republicans of West Virginia can do is to forget
the campaign 1916 for it campaign of stupidity
and worse from start to finish, and the Republican cand
date for governor of that year defeated not by his enc
mics within the Republican party, yet by the Demo-
Gratis but by his fool friends
This newspaper hopes that the friends Of Crossep, and
of Morgan and Of Montgomery will boost their men as
strongly as they and that the contest for the Republican
nomination for governor will be that it will bring

MORE MONEY FOR TEAcgERs

+ OR more han two years The West Virgnian ha.
been advocating larger salaries for school teachers,
and its views that subject are wen known. The most
important point of the whole problem of teacher pay is NOT
what will cost to pay adequate salaries but what
the ultimate cost would be if all the best minds the teach
ing profession driven into other fields by the pressure
of the of living 1t is not too much to say that to
permit that would be antamount to lowering the canning
capacity of the generation now the public schools No
parent matter how much he might be opposed in prn
cPe to increased taxes could possibly want to see that
done. 1t would be crime against his own children.
OF in the present state Of school finances it
impossible to increase teacher pay without first increasing
school revenue and it is fair to assume that the public
spirited body of Faimon citizens will endorse heartily the
action of the Board of Education of Famont independent
district taken yesterday if the school authorities feel that
the steps they will insure that the teaching stand
ard which has been maintained here in the past will be
maintained in the future
On that the public has the word of City Supern-
tenden Wilson that the the Board of Education
have adopted will be sufficient and as he has given the
matter great deal of panstakmg study the public prob.
