SUirglss's Bill.
Congressman Sturgiss, of Jhe Sec
ond district, has introduced a bill In
the House of Representatives, which
provides for an appropriation of
$5,000 for the fiscal year of 1908 and
increasing that amount by $5,000 :
oach year for the next four years, I
and making it thereafter a continu-!
ing appropriation of $25,000 per
year for the endowment and main
tenance of agricultural colleges in
the several states and territories.
Mr. Sturgiss Is deeply impressed with
the Monongah mine disaster and he
is desirous of preventing future dis
asters by endowing the colleges suf
ficiently that they can give scientific
training, make mine investigations
and reports to the bureau.
In addition to this Governor Daw
son is urging the United States sen
ators from West Virginia to take
steps for government inspection of
coal mines.
Of these something good ought to
come. There can foe no question that
it would he the part of wisdom to'
take steps that will prevent these ter
rible mine horrors, which have occur
red so frequently lately.
While doubtless every precaution
has been taken and every device
known installed for the purification '
of the coal mines and to prevont ex
plosions, yet they have occurred, and
as yet It is not satisfactorily known
to any one what caused them.
Such a plan as is suggeatod l>y Con
gressman Sturgiss and Governor Daw
son would bring to the country a new
department of government and there
would be constant search and re
search and examination and re-ex
amination until the protection of
miners and mines would be an active
science.
It is certainly worth the while of
the government to take steps to spare
the country such horrors as have re
cently occurred and it is hoped the'
Congress of the United States as well
as the executive departmnt will take
this matter up as one of the crying
needs and provide for systematic
mine knowledge and inspection.
Congressman Sturgiss's bill Is
along the right line, and the urgent
suggestions made by Governor Daw
son are right, aoid from them ought
to come from Congress at the present
session a comprehensive plan to pre
vent such horrors, if it be possible
to prevont them.
Early conventions do no harm, but
you never hear of the Democrats in
this State having any until after the
Republicans have held theirs. Is it
a matter of cowardice? Perhaps not.
Rather a matter of denouncing every
thing the Republicans do. But, that
never yet got any votes.
The pay day Saiturday by the fac
tories and the mines does not indd
eute that business conditions have
gone bad. ar.d It certainly shows that
the industries are doing quite well.
Conley says he is not scared, now
that Clark May has announced him
self for re-election. All are glad to
know Conley is a brave man.
Arnold Scherr has committed
nepotism with his brother?a serious
ofTense in th*5 eyes of those who do
not !>elleve in it.
Hearse still insists that fee is run
ning for the gubernatorial nomina
tion,- but there are many who are of
the opinion the running has no speed
to it.

JOKER'S MONEY
Is Left With This Paper, and if Not
Called for. Goes Into
Relief Fund
Some one was so anxious a -day or
so ago to get Into the Santa Claus
coinmns of this paper letters from
two well known adults that some
money was enclosed along with the
letters sought to be published.
It was easily detected that tihe
joker wanted to play another prac
tical one, and these letters were not
published. There is nothing to tell
where the letter and the money came
from, but It will be returned to the
sender, if .^lled for before Saturday
of the present week with proper iden
tification. If not by that time the
amount will be turned over to the
^onongah relief fund.
