DoEsN'- e01.E RoosEvELT's PLAN

rs
Protested to secrets faa ton rhi'
score. and WON'T Sell Birthright
For Commercial Pottage.

Senator,N. B. Scott, who reached
Wheeling Thursday from his European
trip, repeated with emphasis the crtti-
cism of the administration policy
with reference to Panama that he
made in Washington, and predicted
that If the present programme is con-
tinued it would result in serious COM
plications and trouble for somebody.
Said the senator:
"The conditions observed abroad
have intensified my devotion to the
policy of high protection, and when |

strengthens me. For this reason l
am opposed to the policy the COVER
ment seems be is taking up in re-
gard to buying supplies for the canal.
The cry is to buy aboard and tuin
down American products and Amer
lean labor if a saving can be effected
thereby. l do not like to take issue
with my president, elected by my
party, but will never agree to build
ng the Panama canal, an American
venture, with foreign supplies, carried
over the seas by ships flying foreign
flags.

CROPS WILL BE SHORT.
Farmers Say Wheat and Corn are
not Very Promising.

Farmers in Berkeley county have
abandoned hope of full crop OF
either corn or wheat this year, and
this, together with the expected
shortage in the apple and peach crops,
will entail loss of many thousands
of dollars. In many sections the
wheat is not more than Is inches
high, although it is heading fairly
well. In other localities the wheat
shows a luxuriant growth, especially
along the Tuscarora, west OF town,
where some fields have reached a
height OF more than four feet. These
fields, however, are comparatively
few. The early corn was badly dam.
aged by worms. while much of the
late corn has not yet even come up,
Many of the fields have been re-
planted, but there is not much hope
of a good crop Hay will also be
short, the total amount in the coun :
ty being about half of last years
crop.

TO STOP SUNDAY SELLING
Business Men viii Ask Enforce
ment of the Laws.
WILL ALSO CLOSE AT 6 P. NJ.
New Schedule Will Go Into Effect on
First Day of June-The
Officers Elected

The Business Mems association held
largely meeting in the
board of trade room yesterday even
ing, when matters of Importance were
discussed and acted mon. The most
important question before the meeting
was that of enforcing the CITY laws
against SUNDAY selling on the part OF
drug stores and copfectiouaries. and
this was brought to q head by the
appointment of committee to wait
on the mayor and CITY council TO ak
that the CITY ordinances on this sub.
ject be enforced.
For several wears past the city laws
against selling on Sunday have re-
NAMED in condition of innocuous
desu etude, the drug stores and con.
dictionaries remaining open all dav
for the sale of anything the people
might wish to buy. The business
men believe that SO long as the laws
remain on the ordinance books thew
should be adhered to. and in pursuance
of this resolve a committee OF busi-
ness men will be at the next meeting
Of the council to ask tne.officials that
the laws be properly enforced. The
business men take the position that
the drug and confectionery stores
should not be given any more privi-
leges than the other places Of busiuess
enjov, and thai all should be made TO
obey the law. An exception will be
made in favor of prescription work by
the drug stores.
Another matter OF Importance was
the closing hour. Isswas decided tsat
the schedule of last summer should be
put in effect again. This will result
in the closing of the dry goods, cloth
ing. shoe, hardware, jewelry, carpet
and furniture stores at 8 O'Clock. and
all others at O'Clock. The schedule
will be in effect from June / to Sep
TENDER Is. Exceptions are made to
Saturday nights and the evenings of
the 7th and 22d OF each month. when
the mills pay their employees. A COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon
one or two projectors who failed to
observe the proper closing hour last
summer. and an effort will be made
to get their co.operation in the move.
ment.
The old officers of the association
were elected as follows:
Presidential. O. Gorsuch.
Vice. President--J. b. Fisher.
Secretary and Treasurer-C. ii.
Quenzel.
The customary assessment for ex-
penses was made. after which the
meeting adjourned.

not been council of war. OF any

at which she has not been present and

She is always listened to by the
men OF the tribe, and seldom has her

in sympathy with the faction, which,
has always resisted the allotment of

She has never led band of In
