Washington, Letter.
Washington, l). C., j
June 19. )
West \ irginia can congratulate
herself on the woolen schedule.
The house re-enacted the “Dingley
tariff’’ and the senate has made
very few changes, and these for
the better. The schedule has been
up for discussion for a number of
days and it*, passage has been de
layed by Senators Dollivei and
LaFcllette, wrho are talking against
it. Several votes have been taken
however and the committee has
never lacked a majority of less than
ten. So West \ irgnia wool-grow
ers and farmers can rest satisfied
with the fact that they are going to
have about the same woolen rales
they have now.
President 1 aft and Senator
Scott have been giving a surprise
party. 1 he two of them got it up
between them. That is President
I aft made the suggestion and
Senator Scott bunted up and in
vited ail the guests. They kept it
so quiet that the lady to be sur
prised was absolutely surprised and
scarcely knew what to do.
The occasion for the party was a
desire to present to Miss Mabel
Uoardman, of this city, a watch
and chain, which was selected by
Mrs. Scott. She was a member of
the famous “Taft Party” which
visited the Phillippines over throe
years ago. She was the life of the
travelers and a universal favorite.
She has entertained the “Taft
Party” at her father's palatial home
since their return and it was in this
residence that the President and
Mrs. raft lived for a week or ho
before moving into the White
House on the 4th of March. Presi
dent Taft thought thy. it would be
a most pleasant thing to remember
her and so he sent for his friend,
Senator Scott. Together they con
cocted the scheme and the pleasant
conspiracy. All the members of
the party were written to, respond
ed most cordially and liberally,
and very many of them were present
at the surprise party, which occur
red the evening of the 8th. It was
a success.
Hon. W. S. Meredith of Fair,
inon*, W. * a., accompanied by hn
law partner, Mr. Conley, was in th •
city during the week. He came to
look after the site for a public build
ing in his home town. As is the
case in Hint on and several other
places the fight is on over a propos
ed site and everybody in the town
is on one side or the other. Sena
tor Meredith was on crutches, be
ing only convalescing from a se
vere fracture of one of his legs. He i
is so pleased to be out and around J
that he does not mind the crutches. I
He remained in the city only a day j
but thoroughly enjoyed the beauties
of Washington.
I he hosiery schedule, too, has
been passed by the senate as the fi
nance committee amended it. It
came up at one of the night ses.
sions. Senator Scott urged the ne
cessity of the house rates, which
are a little higher than those pro
posed in the amendments. He
showed how the knitting mill at
Martinsbuig had prospered under i
protective tariff until the “Herman
tariff agreement” went into effect.
With figures he showed that on tin
low grade of socks that used to re
tail for twenty-live cents a pair this
mill put on the market goods sell
ing two pairs lor a quarter. These
hose are better than the ones that
used to sell at twenty-live cents. On
the high grade, however, there is
not a sufficient duty to give the
American manufacturer the protec
tion he should have. This is one
of the examples that show conclus
ively that under a protective tariff
home compelilon lowers the pricp
to the consumer. Another light
will he made by Senator Scott be
fore the conference committee on
this paragraph when it goes to con
ference.
The democralio senators are hav
ing some troubles of their own. A
few days ago Senator Stone took
occasion to read the riot act to all
democrats who voted against ' free
lumber. Senator Stone is a warm
personal friend of William .1. Bryan
and is supposed to be his mouth
piece in congress. Senator Bailey
of Texas, who voted for a duty on
lumber, took exception to Senator
Stone’s remarks and proceeded to
give the senator from Missouri and
the late presidential candidate of
the democratic parly a most severe
lecture. He produced the record of
Mr. Bryan while he was a member
of the house of representatives and
showed that ho bar! there refused to
be hound by the national platform
of the democratic party. The re
publican senators enjoyed this row
hugely. The democrats are having
a good deal of sport out of the
“rowing” on the republican * Ride
and this is the first real good chance
there has been for retaliation.
Ainoug the YVest Virginians in
the city (luring the week were Mon.
Arnold C. Soherr, Hon. Howard
Sutherland of Klkins, Mr. Sipel of
Petersburg ami Mr. J. K. Wyatt of
Charles Town.
Mr. Wyatt came to look after the
claim of a Jefferson county church
which had been destroyed during
the war. Many of these claims
have been presented in the senate
when there is scarely any pojsibili
ty of relief being granted. Con
gress has held for years that where
no effort was made, after the Civil
war, to collect from one of the de
partments, or to firing the matter
before the commission that sat on
these claims twenty odd years ago,
they were all dead. The law mak
ing body of the government has
been consistent in refusing to pay
such claims. So this is the reason
why so many people are disappoint
ed. The court of claims simply re
ports a finding of facts to congress
and this report is not binding in
any way; congress can do as it
deems best.

Aii Optimist.
Judge W. VV. Marcum of Coredo,
was here this afternoon attending
to legal business with local attor
neys. He believes the day is rapid
ly approaching when tho district
now erabraoed in Kenova and
Ceredo will be a compact city, and
that the whole tri-statc section will
become one of the greatest indus
trial centres of the country.
Judge Marcum frequently visits
Huntington, and has always been
an optimist with reference to the
city’s future. — Huntington Adver
tiser, June 18.
There is now in progress some
thing of an exodus of colored labor
ers from Huntington and vicinity,
the double track work on the Nor
folk ifc Westorn, north of Kenova,
being the objective point. The
contract now under way there will
give employment to a large force of
men for several months. Scores of
Huntington laborers have recently
gone to North Kenova and other
points along the grade work which
is being started on that part of the
Xorlolk it Western’s trunk line.
Negroes from the <J. it O. pass
through Huntington daily en route
to the new construction camps.
These laborers, usually without
means, and traveling on foot or on
freight trains, often collide with
the Iluntinuton authorities, but
whenever they can give a good ac
count of themselves are allowed to
proceed unmolested. — Huntington

DOUBLE TRACK FORO. V. E. R'Y
Seems to be a Probability o! the
near Future--Developments at
Kenova Will Render Such a
Step ft I most Imperative.
Then' is n well founded belief that
within the next twelve mouths develop
| meats at Kenova will have taken >»
form which will make it neeessarv for
the Ohio Valiev Electric Railway com
pany !o double track tho line lietwoon
Amth strict, Huutinvtoti, uiul the Big
Handy bridge. .
Already tho nwil of such a change is
bemg felt. And with tho materiallza
tton or present plans with reference to
Kenova this need will ho.xuuo so Itu
pot ntive as to render such a course a
matter of absolute necessity.
It is the exjMH'fation of those direatlv
interested in new developments at
Kenova that the population of the town
will l*© more than doubled within the
next two years ; that from fnnr hundred
to seven hundred stool workers will be
employed there »x>fore Jude, 1910, that
other industries there and a general re
sumption of business activity in Hunt
ington and thmuirhniit the tri-stato
region will practically double tralHo ou
the car lino between Huntington and
Ashland.
These conditions will bring about a
situation which can be answered only
by double tracking the line between
Huntington and the Big Handy river
the Ohio Valley Klcctrio R’y being the
great oonnecting and life-giving artery.
It is known that tho question of
donblo-tracking this portion of the line
will soon bo taken up with tho ruilway
officials.

an account of persons from a distance

who lives only u short distance away,
ami therefore such items are not desired.

First John, fourth chapter and
second verse :
“Hereby know ye the Spirit of
Cod; every spirit that confesselh
that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh is of God.*'
I would like to ask the readers of
thin verse whether this ih speaking
of Christ's descension into the
world or in the likeness of sinful
flo*h ; to condemn the weakness and
unprofitableness of the law; to
abolish death for hi.s people who
were under tho law. Our Bible
teaches us that he that descended is
the same as he that ascended.
Christ was manifested in the flesh
through the oracle of circumcision;
justified in tho spirit when He ful
filled God's will and was the end of
the law for righteousness for those
who survived him in that vail of
worship.
