Birmingham Is making a great bid
for the reorsanizcd Rodgers locomotive
works, even going SO far us TO offer n
free site and generous bonus. It has
been suggested that the Wheeling board
Of trade ought to open up its batteries
for the acquisition OF this great indus
try. and that Wheeling would be ablb
to offer possibly greater advantages
than Birmingham-though not the boz
nus, and possibly not the free site.

pected OF the representative CONNER
cIal body OF the city, was more than
could reasonably be expected of body

both of these gentlemen arc active and
loyal supporters Of the new board OF

insists that his field Of usefulness shall
not extend beyond the ranks. Both are

The organization OF the Wheeling
board OF trade means the approaching
demise OF the chamber of commerce,
Its place In the business life OF the
city being taken by the new organiza-
ton. So far as the good will OF the
chamber OF commerce is concerned, the
board OF trade will fall heir to It, as
well rs to the records, fixtures, ETC., Of
the old organization. 1t Is likely that
the board OF trade will continue It's
quarters in the rooms now occupied
by the chamber Of commerce. In the
Hub building.

Just an hour, speaking in substance as
follows
At all times in our republic the gene
| raj government takes vigor and
strength from our state administra-
| tons. In times of national exigencies
| the general government is especially
| dependent for its support upon the
| sympathy and loyalty of state oreani-
| cations. The state which gave Trum-
| bull to Washington and Buckingham
! to Lincoln cannot belittle the impor-
lance of its influence and partnership
| in the national government. The state
which gave to the republic and to sister
commonwealth the original and the
model of a constitution cannot be un-
mindful of national issues In its nomi-
nation and election of state officers.
The state Issues are the national issues.
The national welfare is the state well
fare Connecticut affairs are a de-
partment of the business concern of the
United States. The honor and prosper
ity Of the republic are the benefit and
happiness of Connecticut The senti-
ment of the commonwealth cannot
honestly be two-sided Public policy,
and not personal prejudice, make issues
in an election. Connecticut cannot
have one policy for Itself and another
for the Union, in which it is an active
partner To the wind then with the
thought that our state can express her
self one way for state government
and another way for the national gov
eminent and yet preserve her integrity
and record her purpose Such sug-
geston is the device of the enemy.
Such double dealing Is cowardice in the
face of the foe 1t is a waste of inhu-

AN OLD EDITOR
Found $1,000 Worth of Food.

w. S. Gillian, editor of the Capitol of
South McAlester, l. t., said: Yes, it
is true when / got hold of Grape Nuts
food it was worth more than a $4,000
doctor bill to me, for it made we a we'll
man. | have gained % pounds in
weight, my strength has returned ten
fold, my brain power has been given
back to me- and that is an absolute es-
sential, for l am an editor and have
been for IS years
MY pen shall always be ready to
speak good word for this powerful
nutritive food. l had of course often
read the advertisements regarding
Grape Nuts, but never thought to APP
ply the food to my own use, until, in
my extremity and sickness, the thought
came to me that it might fit my case.
The statements in regard to food are
absolutely correct, as / have proven in
my own case. One very fortunate thing
about the food is that while it is the
most scientifically made and highly
nourishing concentrated food l have
ever known, it has so delicious a taste
that 1t wins and holds friends
