the meantime our most hopeful OPP
portunity lies in the development of
research committees within our pol
itical parties. In doing this we
should be only tearing a leaf from
the record of the British labor par
ty. It's research committee makes
fundamental studies Of any and ev-
cry question that confronts the gov
eminent It's assembled information
Is at the disposal of its servants in
the government, and is available
when the party desires to make
statement to the country. With
such committee in each party, we
might in time get away from the
studied inaninities Of our conven-
tional party platforms and achieve
statements that would capture the
imagination of the country and
serve as blue prints of progress.
The party that first develops a
comprehensive research depart
mcnt will gain an untold advantage
over the party that retains the ancis
eEt hit-or-miss relation to facts. Its
representatives in the senate and
the house will, when the system is
really in working order, hold de-
c:ded advantage over the represen-
tatiyes of the opposition. With both
parties supported by such commit
mittees of research, the "Congres-
sional Record" might become doc
ument Of compelling interest to the
public. 1t may be suggested that
the research committees OF political
parties could not be relied upon for
unbiased information, that they
ould bend facts to the exigencies
of party politics. II, however, both
parties had such committees, each
party would know that the opposl-
ton, with the same facts at hand
Would be on the alert for misinter-
pretation. The system would, in
TACT, enforce a refreshing SINGER

Under the research director OF
each party there should be numer-
Gus sub-directors in charge OF spe-
cial fields OF investigation. The
members of these committees
should be "above the battle OF pol

sort of party civil service. The

-. Our schools mean wealth for
our state. need hardly remind the
readers of an educational journal
that he wealth Of our state depends
largely upon the nature and extent
Of the education of our citizens.
Some time ago tho fosmer United
States commissioner OF education,
p p. Cllxton, in one of the greatest
addresses ever delivered in our
state, said that the wealth of
state or country may be expressed
in tho following formula:
Native Ability multiplied by
Naturdal Resources multiplied by
Education equal Wealth
Then he reminded us that the
first and second factors are fived
ard that the increase OF wealth will
depend upon the size of the multi
2lier called Education.
Il hope our schools, especially
the high schools and higher institu-
tions. will give more and more at
tentior to burning the eyes o.,
science upon the hidden treasures
OF our state, and train more and
more skilled hands and inventive
brains for turning our products INTO
finished materials Of high value.
After all. an din conclusion my
chief concern for our schools is
that they may give first attention
&c training good citizens real
wealth Of tde state-citizens with
rure and lofty deals and a will to
dc and dare at all times and to pro-
tect and promote such ideals.

value involved.
sWINDLINe.
Human psychology Is a queer
thing in many respects, occasion
ally prompting one to act against
good sensible judgment. Such a
case is that of the alleged swindler
who was arrested and held on Fri
day for passing forged certified
checks. In SO cases out OF every
100 these schemers are eventually
caught and they pay penalty
which, 1t would seem, more than off
sets any temporary advantage
which they may have enjoyed thru
their scheming; the arms Of the law
are long and the eyes of the law are
keen, and very few escape in the
Improbable to rely upon such
schemes for livelihood. Ordinar-
lily the men who follow such prac-
tees have sufficient native intelli-
gence to perform in proper pro-
fession successfully; the queer
thing is that this ability does not
counsel them to abandon plans
which are almost certain in the end
to lead them into difficulties.
PUBLIC CAMPING.
The campers themselves, we sus-
pect, least of all relish the publicity
which is being given the Ford-Fire-
Notwithstanding camping par
ty in the Blue Ridge mountains,
which is being described as fully in
the journals as an event Of interna-
tional significance. What the camp
ers eat, and how, when they eat 1t,
how they spend their "off" minutes,
what they talk about, the degree of
interest or disinterest which they
display in camp subjects (camp be-
ing a place where minds as we'll as
bodies are supposed to take rest)
all these things come in for pub
lie discussion. The campers, it is
true, are all national figures and the
public has an interest in them as
such; but they are at present off on
a private and personal party, held
in the open instead of in their
homes, and they have right to
some protection. On the other hand
they do not seem to mind it much;
and if it really is not Objectionable
to them, we suppose it Is hardly our
duty to raise any protest.

SCHOOL TUITION.

SCHOOL TUITION.
The Board of Education in Park
ersburg last week set 50 per month
for high school and SIS per month as
grade school tuition fees for the
coming year for students living out
side the city and utilizing the city
school privileges. And there was
some protest in the newspapers be-
cause OF the smallness Of the charge
which, it was said, did not equal the
actual cost per student in the
school. Martinsburg's scale does
not equal the scale of Parkersburg
for non-residents, and the county
people profit thereby. The position
of the newspapers which insist
that the non-residents pay per stu
dent what it actually costs the
Board OF Education to give years
training to the students seems a
reasonable one; and so long as the
charge Is under that point, the
country children are the gamers.
IMPORTANT FEDERAL CASES.
1t has fallen to the lot of the dis

Northern District OF West Virginia,

house under the authority given In
a presidential proclamation revoking
an agreement which the company
had with the government to rebuild
and sell some salvaged harness ma

TO the Federal Court for trial and

mer. 1t is new type of case, we
