To Abolish Jackson City.

The famous suburb which served
as an outlet of the tough element of
Washington is about to be abolish
ed. 1t is just across the Long bridge
in Virginia and out of the jurisdic-
ton of the federal government. All
efforts to suppress it have been in
vain, and it has been the nightly
scene of unrestrained lawlessness,
disorder and crime. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company has bought
up the land on which the vicious re-
sorts of Jackson City stand. and
these places viii be torn down to
make room for the new bridge
across the river. When the owners
found that there was a demand for
their property, they advanced the
price. and for some of these resorts
the Pennsylvania railroad paid enor-
nous sums The company intends
to wipe out Jackson City.

An old log house, stuck on the slope
of West Virginia hill, and a corn
field, which looked though it might,
at any time, slip off into the valley be-
low, was the heritage which fell to
Sarah Mccoy and her daughter Eliza
beth upon the death of the husband
and father, Henry Stonewau Mccoy.
Had his bequest been of a more pre-
tentious nature Elizabeth and Jim

The beauty of the night did not ap-

the humble family burying ground in
it's depths, from which arose a shaft

stern reality; an unproductfve valley,
a grave yard in which father, grand
father and great-grandfather lie bur-
led, bit of marble that represented
the savings of years.
The notes of a whip-poor-will float

of its mate, from the distance, bore no

were the discordant cries of a very Or

In the course of three years the oil
industry in West Virginia had as
sumed unthOught-Of proportions and
the Standard Oil Company had begun
to extend it's operations into the inte-
riOr of the state. Farms that could
have been bought before for two dol
lars an acre were bringing thousands
and were eagerly sought at those
prices The oil belt, extending south
easter1y, was thought to cross the
farm owned by Liz and her mother.
An eastern syndicate, having paid
them a big price for oi1-lease and
allowed q royalty, had erected a der
rick and the changing of the jars was
now heard in the nearby corn-f1eld.
1t had never occurred to Liz that her
lover would not return. She knew
he would and was content to wait.
When the day arrived on which the
well was to be shot she was filled with
an inexpHcab1e feeling that a crisis

ordered from Wheeling and would ar

solved to watch for him as her view
from the cabin, commanded the road
up the valley over which he must come.
Presently her vigilance was rewarded.
A stout wagon, drawn by two tired
horses, appeared on the road from
around the base OF a hill. She could
see the driver urging his 5aded beasts
over the rough, broken road until
bend in its course, and a thicket, hid
them from view.
He did not reappear and she was
wondering if accident had occurred
when, from the very spot she was
watching, a shaft of dirt, stones and

that his country could exact nothing

those of its customers
This is the principle contemplated
by the statesmen who have favored
reciprocity. The benefits are not to be
one-sided. If the United States yields
something in the way of trade adVan-
tages the reciprocating nations must
be equally obliging Reciprocity will
not be used to destroy what protec-
ton has built up. The two must go
hand in hand When we have
reciprocity it must be with protection

Would Stimulate Hostilitx.

Reciprocity is being urged as
means of staving off allayine Euro
pean tariff hostility to the United
States, yet it is more calculated to
stimulate it. Whatever concessions
we make to one nation we must make
to it's competitors, else we shall
have all sorts of trouble. The matter
of tariff would thus be transferred
from congress to the state depart
ment, and constant tinkering wouId
be the result If we are going To
make changes in our tariff rates If
would be far better to make them
direct and have them apply to All
countries, than to begin fritterfnp
away the protection of our industries
piecemeaI, with constant disturbance
of trade because of the uncertainties
of the future. The interests that ara
behind this movement for extending
the markets for some of our products
at the expense of others are powerf,,I
