BUTCHERS IN SESSION.

YESTERDAY

Coaesrt al Mozart Psrk-Notes.

The butchers owned the town yester'
day, and will retain possession Of it foI
the remainder of the week. Mayor Cald'
we'll gave them the freedom Of the city,
and it goes without saying that they
will not abuse t.. A more genial,

honor them as her guests. The visitors
already have fair idea Of what Wheel
ing hospitality means, but the enter
tainments ia their honor have only fair
ly begun.
The convention, as stated in yester'
days REGISTER, will be the most i'm
portant in the history Of the Associa'
ton. This fact was clearly proven by
the interest manifested at yesterdays
session and oy the important ma
ture OF the business under consid-
Grafton. The delegates assembled
at the McLure at $50 o'clock,
and marched TO /. 0. o. f.

band. The interior OF the hall was
handsomely decorated with evergreen,
which was twined about the pillars and
hung in gracely festoons upon the

The question, which threatened for a
time 10 take on very serious phase,
was finally compromised, but will
doubtless be bone OF contention in fu-
tHre national conventions. Dele
gate Aiken introduced resoiu-
ton providing that Section OF
Article be adopted, with the distinct
understanding that all "locels" retain
their present membership, each local to
place it's own construction upon the
phrase retail butchers" subject to the
decision OF the National body. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.
Several other sections OF the constita-
ton were then read and adopted. The
convention adjourned about twenty
minutes before six O'Clock, until alter
the parade this morning. The consid-
Grafton of tie new constitution will oc-
cupy all the time at to-day's session,
and will possibly not be concluded until
tomorrow. As there is other impor-
tant business TO be considered, the con-
vention will probably not finish It's la
bors until noon on Thursday.
After adjournment yesterday after
noon, the delegates boarded four cleo
trio motors and accompanied by the
Opera House band, were taken
TO MOZART PARK.
The delegates enjoyed the ride up the
long incline, and the charming view
from the summit OF the mill. Supper
awaited them in the con.mOdiouS res
taurant in the new building, and 1t was
most pleasantly discussed. Caterer
Hoffreuter knows how 10 look after the
inner man, and yesterday he more than
sustained the reputation which he has
justly earned. After supper the dele.
gates strolled about the beautiful
grounds; INDUCED in bowling, or sub
mitted to the inevitable Kodak fiend.
At eight O'Clock the concert by the
Mozart Singing Society was given in the
large pavilion, under the direction OF
Prof. Hermann Shockey. The crowd By
this time had assumed large proportions.

ping and to drive American capital into
foreign shipping.
Meanwhile, not cents worth OF ad-
vantage is given American shipbuild-
ing. We can't build ships as cheaply
as the foreigners, and consequently we
don't build them. This is simple expe-
rience. A complete abandonment of
our present narrow-minded and anti
quated policy is the only thing that will
ever restore our merchant marine or
build up our ship-building industry. If
we were permitted TO buy ships where
we could get them cheapest aud build
up a thriving shiDsing trade, American
shipyards would soon increase, II only
for repairing ard fitting, and with the
removal Of other restrictions rapid de-
velopmeut Of shiDbuiding would follow.
We have the material, the capital, the
skill and the demand for ships. All we
need is to have our hands united to de-
velop the industry and make the Stars
and Stripes supreme on the high seas.

OUR FOooLIsH STRIPPING POLICY.


The latest statement from the Bureau
of Navigation OF the Treasury Depart
ment presents facts aad figures which
show conclusively that nothing stands
in the way Of the Investment OF Ameri-
can capital in American shipping but
American laws. Tae Government will
not permit American ownership under
the American dag. THIS is strange,
but true, and as consequence Ameri-
can capital is very largely invested In
foreign shipping which our laws can
not prevent.
The fact as the New York Times
points out, that American citizens con-
cerned In some branches Of foreign
trade find it profitable to own or TO
charter vessels Of foreign construction
for that trade and to sail them under
foreign colors is proof positive that
American capital and enterprise would
build up a merchant marine for Us If 10
we're permitted by our laws. These men
would greatly prefer to sail their yes
sells under the United States flag Il the
Government would admit them TO
American registry.
It has often been shownNthat the pol
icy OF protection cannot by\,any pos
sibillty be carried into the ocean
carrying trade. That trade will go
lrresistibly to those who will conduct 1t
at the lowest rates, and those can con-
duct it at the lowest rates who can do it
at the lowest cost, and the chief item Of
cost is in the purchase Of vessels. 1t
will therefore go to those who can get
their vessels cheapest, no matter where
they are built or what dag they sail un-
der. We can exclude ourselves from IT,
but we cannot protect ourselves from
competition in it, and the effect Of not
admittyh g foreIgn-built vessels to Amer
can I'd kiStry is to kill American ship
