Now, for tho Soldiers, Reunlon,

r. With the appointment OF the working
committees to arrange for the annual
reunion OF the Society OF the Army OF
West Virginia, to be held in this city
next September, the movement to make
+ the occasion one long to be remembered
I has begun in earnest. Although the
date for the reunion Is several months
< off, 1t is noe one day too carly to begin
8 the preparations to make It a success.
\ That 1t will be success there Is no
doubt
Those who recall the last meeting OF
3 the socIety in Wheeling remember that
1t was the most successful Of all the
reunions held by the organization. The
characteristic hospitality of the city OF
Wheeling was never better demonstrate
I ed than on that occasion, and ever since
< the veterans have. been DESTROYS of re-
turning. Those who will have the ar
arrangements in charge this year will
leave nothing undone to make the COM
Ing gathering equal to the other. II. In
deed, It does not excel 1t.
While the ranks of the Society have
i been thlnned somewhat by the hand of
death. there are thousands OF the brave
old boys left, and many comrades who
were not in the army OF West Virginia.
but were at the front just the same.
I will be here to join in and share the
! good time that Wheeling Will give her
4 quests, besides thousands who have
q grown up since the war, but are no less
4 pattiotlo than their elders who respond
ed to the country's call at that time.
Aside, from the patriotic sentiment
which will prompt the citizens to put
4 forth their best efforts to entertain the
guests, there is another thing for the
y community to consider. From more
selfish standpoint 1t bchoovcs those who

In the midst OF all the war alarms the

These ships are on a different mission

tacktng the Canadian Pacific railway,
and suggesting remedies for the evils
that work against American trade. a
summary of which appeared In Thurs

tho disadvantages under which the
American competing railroads rest, and
shows how the effect can be in a large
measure counteracted The senator's
speech is that OF practical man, who
has carefully studied the conditions that
exist. and who has reasoned out the
remedies for at least some Of the obsta-

competition by American roads. Moth

Is More Ships Declares Senator
Hanna in Chicago.
FavOrs Government Protection
For Merchant Marine.
PROSPERITY AHEAD
Such as the Country Has Never
Before Known
If We Only Reach Out For 1t
In a Proper Way.

Chicago, Dec. Senator Hanna ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon
and registered at the Auditorium hotel.
He is here on private business, he said,
and will leave tonight. He expressed
satisfaction at the agreement reached
by the peace commission and was of
the opinion the treaty would be ratified
by the senate.
There will, Of course, be some OppOsi-
ton" he said. but I have little doubt
the treaty will be ratified. 1t marks
glorious page in American history, and
promises to be the beginning of a period
of material prosperity in this country
such as it has never known.
IF, however, we are to realize all the
advantages which the present outlook
seems to offer it will be necessary to
increase our merchant marine. There
is 70 question so important as this, and
it will be my aim to urge congressional
action in the matter. 1t is not party
question, but an economic one, and con-
Germs all sections. The western farmer
needs it to enable him to readily get his
surplus cereals to the markets of the
world. 1t is of equal moment to the
southern planter and to every manu-
facturer 1t is. in fact. the one con-
Meeting link which will enable US to
take advantage of our present Oppor-
tunities and grasp the worlds com
meTce IN a way that seemed scarcely
possible a decade ago.
Our industrial development has now
reached that point where, supplemented
by adequate transportation facilities, we
can, to large extent, compete with any
nation. Many lines of manufacturing
find it impossible now to secure ade-
Quate shipping facilities. I know Of
some which could double their business
if they could get the vessels. 1t is too
great an opportunity to be lost, but
to take advantage Of 1t we must act
quickly, for England and other Euro
pean nations will meet the demands of
the occasion unless we act promptly.
But if we are to succeed in this mat
ter it will be necessary for the govern
ment to offer some encoura cement to
capital to invest in this direction. AS
it Is now few capitalists will invest their
money in vessels which have to enter
into competition with subsidized foreign
steamship lines. Assured of some aid,
however, they will be quick to act.
Il think this subject should be treated
in the same manner as were the manu-
featuring industries of this country. 1t
should be given protection until able to
stand alone"
Replying to the published statement
of Chairman Jones of the Democratic
the recent election were no cOndemna-
ton of free silver Senator Hanna said:
TT is rather surprising then that In
the east, where it was not made an is
sue, we should have lost many mem
bers of congress, and in the western
states, where the Chicago platform was
reaffirmed. we should have made all
our gains'
Senator Hanna, said he did not look
for an extra session of congress, nor did
he see any necessity for it, unless I'M
expected foreign complications arose.

of the tremendous amount Of work en-
tailed in farming.
Mrs. John Breidenthal, who claimed
to have lived on farm, denied that this
was the case.
But all present agreed that with
state ownership Of farms, things might
be better. The returns would be even
ed up and the work more equally di-
vided. One lady quoted the example
of the socialist colony at Ruskin, Ten
nessee, where when extra help was
needed in the hay field the whole colony
was ordered out and the hay promptly
and easily secured.
Per contra the members were told Of
the gradual forsaking of the communis-
tic system by the Russian colonies in
Kansas, where of late years it has be-
come the fashion for each to take, as
one lady expressed it, all the land that
he could grab, and the small farm viii
lagos of the early days have been dis
continued.
Much interest was manifested in the
subject for December discussion, which
is to be the feasibility of a combined,
city-Owned and regulated. auditorium
and market house. and it seems but fair
TO add that the enthusiasm and interest
in the auditorium showed a commend
able public spirit among the women Of
the Commonwealth club.
