WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
Congressman Romeo H Freer has been
| induced to quit. His political man
ager, Eugene Campbell, to-day an
| nounced the judges withdrawal from
the Gubernatorial race, and tonight
the following letter was given out as
an explanation of his change of front:
House of Representatives,
WASHINGTON, D. c., March %.
To the Republicans of West Virginia:
AS a Republican, / desire, first of all
things, party harmony and success, and
after mature deliberation, / have de-
cided to withdraw from the race for
the Governorship, believing that my
continued candidacy would lead to
party strife and dissension. Further
more, ! find that have not the phys
ical strength to endure a campaign for
the nomination, with the great bulk
of the labor of the contest devolving
on me alone.
My Congressional duties demand a
large share of my attention, and nee
essarily would have to neglect them
if / continue in the race for Governor,
and this | cannot afford to do, and,
without resentment and without any
feeling of unkindness toward any one,
hereby formally withdraw from the
race for the nomination
No man has truer friends than my
self. Through good report and evil
report they have been loyal to me, in
success and defeat. / can only hope
that at some future day, time or place,
may be able to recompense them for
their devotion.
This destination does not take me
out of West Virginia politics, but, on
the contrary, it gives me an oppor-
tunity to do better and truer work
for the cause I love so much, freed
from the suspicion of any personal
ambition.
AS Republicans, let us go forward
together.

1t is one of the curiositieS of Iitera-
ture, says George f. Parker in The At
lantic, that. although the consular serv-
ice has not produced reports of either
economic or informing value. many
writers have done conspicuous work
before and during service and after re-
tirement. w. d. Howells wrote some
delightful books on Italy. Besides his
Life of Peter the Great" Eugene
Schuyler wrote an acceptable short
history of American diplomacy and
translated some of Turgeneff's nov
els. Hawthorne. Elihu Burritt, Under

The Mystery of Lady Byron.

w. E. Henley writes vigorously of
Lady Byron in The Pail Mall Maya
zine. In the end they were married
by special license; year and a fort
night after the wedding Lady Byron
left her husband never to return to
him, and the great heart of the public
rose to the occasion. \ bride repudiat-
Ing her groom! \ young mother flee

set it working to her sole advantage.

Christening Florida.

As to why Ponce de Leon gave the
name Florida TO the territory now
known by that name, the Florida
Farmer and Fruit Grower quotes from
an old book published in 1763: Gave
1t the name Of Florida because IT was
first seen In Easter. called Pasqua de
flores in the language Of his country
or as Herrera alleges, because 1t was
covered with flowers and the most
beautiful blossoms" And The Farm-
er adds: "Those vino have seen the
Easter season in Florida and the
wealth of flowers which still COM
nemorate and adorn its return can
well believe that both these reasons ID
"uenced the giving of its name.

BUSINESS AND
INDUSTRIAL.

The American Steel & Wire Com
pany directors cannot get the public to
believe that overproduction has COM
PEELED them to shut down a number of
plants. The opinion remains that the
move is one to influence the stock
market and to effect the price of steel
billets. The reduction of $40 per ton
of wire products makes it apparent
that the directors are sincere but even
this order fails to reinstate them in
the good graces of the public.
1t is argued that surely such an
Astute body of men as operate the con-
cern would not allow their plants to
produce such an enormous overproduc-
tion as to compel such a rapid retreat.
Such moves come about gradually and

ducts. This Il not just, especially
where concern has the market as we'll
in hand as the Steel & Wire Company
has. The company should not cause a
less of thousands of dollars to hard
ware dealers, absolutely making VIC
tins of them.
We have no sympathy with the stock
spectators. They enter the market to
make money out of their victims. and
the bulls and bears will tear away at
each other regardless of who may suf-
fer. With legitimate dealers this Is
different. They are entitled to some
consideration. Had the price been adj
vanced and the dealers caught short 1t
would not have been so bad. They, in
turn, would have advanced prices to
consumers, who would have had to pay
the difference.
Once upon a time, the wire nail pool
worked prices to such an extent as to
rattle the jobbers of the country. The
latter held several indignation meet
ings and the stronger of them began
making preparations for operating their
own wire and nail mills. Some of them
actually got started in the business.
That was the end of the nail pool. 1t
may be that history will repeat itself.
A corporation having monopoly
may prove benefit to the country by
giving the public a product much
cheaper than it can be ordinarily made
for and by reducing cut-throat compe-
tition. A monopoly handled with the
speculative end as its strongest feature
can be of no permanent benefit to a
community. While stirling compete
ton it also encompasses the ruin of
legitimate traders. Such monopolies
SHOULD not be tolerated, and it is need
less to add that time will extinguish
them.-Exchange

to surpass the industrial development
of the West in the years succeeding
