DRUMMERs COMMEND HIM.

During the recent meeting Of the
United Commercial Travellers held
in Washington Senator Elkins was
warmly commended for his advocacy
Of their effort to secure the inclusion
of them in the list of preferred cred,
itors under the bankruptcy act.
They said that with him as patron
of bill making this provision they
felt sure that it would pass the Sen
ate and become law. He took
them to the White House and pre-
scented them to the President, who
assured them that such provision
would meet With his approval.
Without regard to their political be
liefs the drummers from West Vir-
ginia assured Mr.. Fli1ins that they
regarded him as their friend, and
that they appreciated fully the in
tercst he had taken in their cause.
Speaking to this correspondent
about Senator Elkins, one OF the
drummers sand:
q have Just been travelling up
and down through the State OF West
Virginia, and ! confess that it has
been a revelation to me how public
sentiment has changed with regard
to Senator Ell;ins In the past
West yirginians have believed in
Steve EllSins. All Republicans were
loyal TO him because they believed
it was his wonderful energy and
his political sagacity that brought
the State over TO the Republican
column. But he was last winter the
victim of campaign of nlisrepre-
sentation. just as a man will feel
sick when all of his friends tellhim
that he looks sick, so the people.
when repeatedly told that their rep
resentatives in Congress or else
where are crooked, will soon become
to believe it. IT was so in Senator
Elkins' case. All of a sudden it be-
came profitable to rake muck and
to SANDER public men. Senator
Elkins was a shining mark because
of his prominence, and so-called ex-
posures came in right and left from
! men who knew Just about as much
about West Virginia as a dog knows
about a holiday. Enemies of the
Senator in West Virginia took a de-
light in passing it along. And be-
lieve me, / found a tendency to
jump on him everywhere, with both
feet at that. Then the muck rak-
ers killed their own goose. They so
far over-reached the bounds of
truth that their stories bore evidence
Of a lie on their face. The people
began to want the truth and the

A SOLID FRONT.

The Morgontown Chronicle gives
Wholesale advice in the following
editorial, as TO Republicans putting
up solid front, but at the same
time the Republican party could
beware Of some, who call Themselves
Republicans, but are wolves in
sleeps clothing and vote the Demo-
cratic ticket every time one comes
up. no matter who comprise the Re-
publican ticket, such as has been
the case in Harrison county:
"The Democratic plan of cam
paign this year for the election of
members of the Legislature, so far
as they have any plan, is developing.
Many sings indicate what they will
try to do. If they find section
where dissatisfaction with the tax
laws exists, they will work with the
dissatisfied clement and endeavor to
work in member here and there by
that means. IF they find senti-
ment against Senator Elkins, they
viii use that to forward their own
designs. The remedy for this is for
Republicans to be on their guard.
The party should present solid
front when facing the common
enemy. Any small differences
should be buried out Of sight, and
all Republicans should work for the
good Of the party. Give no aid or
comfort to the political enemy"
The plan as outlined for the
Democracy, however, if indulged in,
is a cowardly subterfuge and a sac
rifice of principle that ought to
condemn that party with every fair
minded man.

Headquarters United Confederate

General Orders No. So.
l. The general commanding yields
ready compliance with the request
of the people of Richmond that his
efforts be put forth to have a general
observance on Saturday. January 10.
1907, of the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of the immortal Southern
leader. Robert Edward Lee
The men and women of any country
are made better citizens by the con-
temptation of the glorious deeds Of
their ancestry; and to us of the South
Whose leaders possessed in marked
degree all that makes men great,
this is particularly true. General Lee
was the ideal personification of a
Southern gentleman; and, whether
considered as a soldier, statesman or
Christian citizen, whether viewed in
the privacy of his family and social
life, or in the fierce light that beats
upon a throne" he stands out posi-
bly, the grandest character the world
has ever produced; and no occasion
should be lost to keep his memory
green, and to induce the boys and
girls of the Southland to emulate his
pure and holy life.
He therefore urges department. di-
vision, brigade and regimental COM
manders of our glorious order to see
that proper orders are sent to the va.
rious branches, begging their hearty
cooperation in these exercises. He
requests that the United Sons of Con-
federate Veterans, the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, and the va
rious memorial associations of the
South. all join with the veterans in
thus honoring the dead hero. He
makes no suggestion as to the form
of the services, but he desires and
requests that they be held on Satur-
day, January 10, 1907, at IL o'clock M,
and that the hymns How Firm a
Foundation, Ye Saints of the Lord"
and For All Saints Who From Their
Labors Rest" be used, thus having
simultaneous exercises in all parts Of
the country.
2. The general commanding appeals
now, as he has often done in the past.
to the press of the country to give
their assistance in promoting this
He feels confident that
this simple request will meet with
that hearty response that has ever

Alexander J. cassatt.


Alexander Johnston Cassatt, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad com
pany, was born in Pittsburg. Decem-
Der s, 1889. He entered the University
Of Heidelberg and obtained a liberal
education. But the influence of Ger
man university life did not overcome
his Unborn preference for a business
career. and on his return home he
took a course in civil engineering. He
went first to Georgia to assist in To-
eating a railroad In 1861 he return
ed to Pittsburg and entered the en-
ploy of the Pennsylvania railroad as
a rodman. In 1867 he had risen to
become superintendent of motive
power, and three years later he was
made general superintendent of the
system. When Thomas A. Scott be-
came president of the road he made
Mr. Cassatt third vice president In
1880 he was first vice president, and
two years later he created surprise
by resigning his position and announc-
ing his retirement from business. For
seventeen years Mr.. Cassatt took no
part in the active business of the
road, but in 1899 he was persuaded
to return to the Pennsylvania as presi-
dent, a position he still holds. Among
railroad officials throughout America
Mr.. Cassatt is acknowledged to be one
of the master minds of transportation.

Rear Admiral Francis Charles
Bridgeman, NJ. V. o., who has recently
been appointed commanuer-in-chief Of
the British home feet, was born De
eember Z, 1S4S, and is a grandson Of
the fifth Earl Fitzwilliam. Admiral
Bridgeman is one of the best known
and most popular officers of the Brit
ish navy. He entered the service in
1862, and rose through the successive
grades of lieutenant, commander and
captain, until in 1903 he reached the
rank of rear admiral. During his long
career Admiral Bridgeman has been
singularly fortunate in that, unlike
nealy all the officers of the British
navy, he has had little or no opportu-
nifty Of seeing active service. But he
is famous as an able tactician, and
gained golden opinions when last year
he was second in command of the

weakest thing of the kind we ever
read from a brainy man. And, to
think, too, that he was assisted in its
preparation by some twenty or more
very smart men. Politicians may be
able to figure out the reasonableness
of Bailey's claims, but the average
long-headed business man will have to
study long time before he can make
anything out of it.
