not so certain, however, that the
/ huge popularity of the colleges in
recent years is due to any careful
balancing of pros and cons; the
tide has set so strongly in that d.
rection that among those who can
afford a college education those who
stay out may do the most careful
calculating, though it does not fol
low that they reach the right con-
| clusion.
Now that the difficulty of most
colleges, and particularly a state
university such as We have at Nor
] gantown, is not to get all the stud
! ents they want but to avoid being
swamped by numbers they can af-
ford to be perfectly candid with
applicants and with the public and
commencement is a good season
for putting a case OF education on
solid basis. There used to be too
much said about its material re-
wards, about the superior chances
of the graduate for advancement
and about his superior income. Not
only were the statistics adduced
misleading. but an argument of this
kind tended to keep out some Of
the very people who would profit
most by a college education-hard-
headed people who on a strictly Pc
cuniary basis could figure out a
more profitable way to spend four
Of their best years
A college needs hard headed young
people of this kind, and they need
the college. When they are so they
may have money enough to endow
| a college of their own Il they like.
but at 80 no amount Of money can
buy what 4 college can give at 20
If the question were merely one of
achieving material success as
quickly as possible it might be DIFF
iicult to make out case for col
! lege education. But it can fairly be
said that even from this rather mar
row point of view the devotion Of
a term of years to study only re-
| tards somewhat the beginnings Of
material success. The graduate may
be somewhat handicapped against a
competitor of equal ability who has
| been learning business from the
ground UP and may be well started
at %, But as time goes on this
handicap is gradually reduced. What
is more, as time goes on the value
Of the broader outlook which educa
ton gives comes to be more fully
appreciated.
On the whole adult America does
| appreciate it, and in this rather
than in any cold-hlooded calculation
Of profits we may find the motive
for the generous support of insti-
tutions Of learning and in the sac
rifices which so many families
gladly make for the education Of
! their boys and girls. In some eases
1t may be the best possible invest
ment even in material success;
in other cases it may be relaxing a
little the quest for wealth for the
sake Of all-round development. But
in the main Wha keeps the COLLEGES
going and fills their membership to

July begins on Friday this year
and it is. we fear, going to be an
unlucky beginning for the people of
the state Of West Virginia, because
it is on Friday that many new laws
passed by the recent legislature so
into effect, among them the gross
sales tax bill. Some of the new
laws are good, some Indifferent, but
this gross sales tax measure is, in
our Judgment, positively bad.

Mr.. X. /. Sawyer. road engineer OF
Marquette county tells the Marqueue
Mining Journal about a report Nnicn
the state highway department prepar-
ed for the state legislature wMcn
shows that Iron county got $4.25 from
Ithe state for every dollar that II paia
towards the support OF the department
while Marquette county only got si'ie.
Mr. Sawyer cunningly stopped al
fer the citations mentioned. he
stooned because, while according 10
his theory he convicted us OF being q
nitrate. his own words would have con-
victed himself of being a knaye. We
have the same report before US ana
note that Houghton county only GOV
90 cents back, Wayne county got put
accents, In fact all OF the more
wealthy counties got but tribe back
in comparison with what they paid IN
The explanation is found In the as
sessed valuation. The report pur-
ports 10 show the contribution and re-
ceipts from the organization OF the
department In 1905. at which time
Iron county's assessed valuation was
lust s4.3i2,000. against $40.500,0o0 to-
day. All the counties with small
valuations got much more money
than they paid Marquette being Just
as deep in the mud as Iron Is in the
mire In that line.
The report that is OF real signifi-
canoe in the question at issue is one
that we have before us showing the
money spent on trunk lines in the
different counties since the bond issu,
was voted.
This report bears title, Summary,

THAT CASPIAN ELECTION

OF the county but Il feels that II can
not pass without comment the election
in the village OF Caspian for Il reflects
upon the entire county.
In this village Mr.. Charles +. Law

TO every man, woman and child in the
county. NJ. Lawrence's being oppos-
sed is not the consideration. Mr..
Lawrence is not immune from opposi-
tion II the people OF the village think
that some other person can handle the
village affairs better than he can, but
such people should set up against him
a man they need not be ashamed OF, a
man who can hold up his head In the
county as reputable ana respectable
citizen, and that, man who has serv-
ed four months in Jail for pigging can
not do.
Whatever may be ones personal
opinion OF Mr.. Lawrence and his work.
IL must be admitted that he tries TO
make those he comes dn touch with
better men and women, better Ameri-
can citizens. His methods may not

that followed and listened TO his dis
courses only the few chosen ones

our mention OF Route 45 made last

Dickinson county. He says that "Dic-
kinson county's portion as more liable
TO indictment. In our feeble way
we not only indicted Dickinson county
road officials but tried. convicted and
hung them about a year ago or so

was actually started on two miles

YOUNG LEEDS WEDS
RUSSIAN PRINCESS
First Ceremony Occurs To-

PARIS. October 8. - William E.
Leeds. jr.. son Of Princess Anastasia
of Greece and the late William B.
Leeds, the 'tinplate king" Of Rich
mond. Ind. and Princess xenia. niece
of King Constantine of Greece. were
married by civil ceremony here at

The wedding today was the French
civil ceremony. Tomorrow two more
ceremonies will occur, the first at the
American Church of tho Holy Trinity
here and the third at the Russian
Church. the last being conducted with
the picturesque pomp OF the historic
Russian church.
1t Is said that few prospective
bridegrooms have had more difficulty
in getting married than young Leeds.
Every move made had to be referred
for approval to the executors of the
Leeds estate in New York. Negotia-
tions have been going on for several
months, involving the sending back
numerous legal documents.
In addition. Princess Anastasi sia,
mother of Leeds. while enthusiastic
about the marriage, opposed it taking
place for several years. because of the
ages of both the princess and her son.
She finally consented when her son and
Princess Xenia begged to be permitted
to marry without further delay.
The Russian ceremony will last
nearly all of Sunday afternoon. 1t will
be conducted with the picturesque
pomp of the historic Russian Church
Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovitch Of
Russia will be the witness for the
cousin. Princess Xenia, and Princess
Anastasia and her husband. Prince
Christopher of Greece, will act for
young Leeds.
The bridal couple probably will depart
for southern France, where they will
spend their honeymoon on an autom0-
