IN MEMORY

III tViIiHiullI
In kind and loving remembrance
Of Mrs. Margaret Isqphine 8Ianley,
wife Of r. 4. Manley, and daughter
Of y. NJ. and Martha A. Floyd, are
these lines written:
Life and death are moi what they
innately are, but what they seem to
us to be. We may view life as a
blessed privilege, a great opportuni-
ty to prepare for a richer life in a
broader field Of action vet to come.
or We may Isok upon itas a troubled
existence which We are forced to
endure So with death. We ~.
view it as the necessary means Of
laying aside mortality to put on
Immortality; Gods plan Of calling
US to himself, or it may be to Us and
to our homes feared and dreaded
calamity; the all powerful destroyer
Of that which we most cherish.
Those who take the former view see
in the death Of Christian the
transfer of membership from the
church militant TO the church tri-
umphant. To the writer, the death
here chronicled seemed 10 be the
means Of hansplanting a flower
which had burst into perfection and
when removed by the loving hand Of
our dear Savior. will bloom forever
in the fields of light above. So
conscientious was she in disposition,
and recognizing the importance Of
having Christ in her life, she conse-
Grated herself to his cause at an
early age and united with the NJ. 2.
Church at C1burn's Greek, Harrison
county. After her marriage to
Robert Manlev they moved TO Mans
field, Ill.,. and there she, together
with her husband joined the Baptist
church of that place. Not only did
she unite with that church but she
was one Of its organizers and con-
tributed literally of her earthly
means 10 its support Nor was this
ALL She was a Sunday school and
church worker. Her efforts were
crowned with great success for later
she was the happy witness 10 the
conversion of her only daughter,
and there hand in hand, and heart
to heart, husband, wife and daugh-
ter tried to lead Others 10 the foot Of
the throne. ~ SlsEs
Mrs. ATanley's health having fail
ed and thinking a change Of climate
might benefit her. the family came
to Clarksburg last August. The
change brought no results for The
better and on May lG the summons
came and her spirit took its flight
to the one who gave it.
y precious one from US has gone
\ voice we loved is stilled.
\ place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
Cad in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given.

EVILS OF CHILD LABOR.
Miss Adams Declares America Is in
Class with Russia

Cincinnati, Dec. 15.-Before the first
session of the child labor convention
here last night, Dr. Felix Adler, chair
man of the national child labor COM
mittee and professor of political and So
cial ethics in Columbia university,
spoke on "The Attitude of Society To-
ward the Child as an Index of Civilian
ton" Professor Adler spoke of the
inadequacy and inetiiciency of state laws
and urged the necessity for a national
law to furnish background for effective
state and local activity and make the
enthusiasm Of the people contagious in
its effect on local bodies, thus inducing
greater efforts for the child and more
glorious future for the republic.
Addresses by Miss Jane Adams, of
Hull house, Chicago and United States
Senator Beveridge followed. A resolu-
tion was adopted emphasizing the be-
lief that it is the duty of the several
states to correct evils Of child labor in
local manifestations, but indorsing
"cordally the principle Of the Bever-
idge- Parsons bill for a national child
labor law"
Miss Adams urged the desirabltv of
uniform legislation against the evils Of
child labor, and declared that the CEN
sus reports show America behind every
European country except Russia in so
far as child labor and ts effects are con-

LARGER SALARIES.
Movement to Pay Members of Con-
gress More Gains Force.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The time is
not far distant when congressional sal
aries will be increased, this despite the
faint heartedness shown by members of
the house in the vote on the amend
ment to the legislative appropriation
bill last Friday. 1t is the universal
opinion of senators and Representatives
that the present salary of $4,000 is
entirely inadequate, and that view ap-
pears to be generally indorsed by the
people. Just how large an increase
will be made is yet to be determined.
Some are contending for s. 500, others
for 10000. The chances seem to ia
vor the smaller amount.
There is great deal of merit behind
the movement for increased salaries for
senators and representatives. In times
past So, 900 went farther than it does
today; it was larger salary, as sal
aries went, and was more of an induce
ment than it is at the present time.
The time was when the average con-
gresham could save money on 900
salary. But that time is past. 1t is
doubtful if a dozen men in congress are
able to save a single cent of their pres
ent salary; vast number of them ex-
pend much larger amounts each year.
and in perfectly legitimate way

D0INGS OF OUR NATIONAL
BODY OF LAWMAKERS

today confirmed the nominations OF
William II. Moody, of Massachusetts,
to be an associates justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States
Charles j. Bonaparte, of Maryland, to
be attorney general Victor II. Metcalf,
Of California, to be secretary of the
navy, and Oscar S. Straus, of New
York, to be secretary of commerce and
labor.
The feature today was speech by
Senator Rayner upholding the states
rights doctrines as involved in the
present japanese question on the Pa
citic coast.
Resolutions were agreed to calling
upon the president for information re-
garding the seizure by Mexico of the
fishing schooner Silas Stearns, and di-
recting the secretary of war to furnish
information regarding alleged expert
ments with cholera virus at Manila re-
sulting in 10 or more deaths.
The senate in executive session rati-
fled the general act by the delegates of
the powers represented at the confer
ence which met at Algeciras, Spain, in
April last, to draft treaty concerning
Moroccan affairs. Opposition by the
Democrats compelled the adoption of a
resolution disclaiming possibility for
the participation of the United States
in the program arranged by the confer
ence as to the future of Morocco

Washington. Dee. 12.-Chairman
Knapp, of the Interstate Commerce
commission, said today that it had not
been decided where or when the inves-
tigation OF the Hill lines will take
place. II is known, however. that in
quiries will be made at st. Paul and
Chicago, and it is probable that Com
missioners Prouty and Lane will con-
duct them. 1t Is not believed that the
work will start much before January
10, after the Hartman investigations,
in which the inquiries will be made
probably December 20 or %.

Friday, Dec. Ia.

Washington, Dee. 14.-But for the
cowardice of 100 members of congress,
the house today would have adopted the
amendment to the Legislative appropria-
tiOn bill increasing the salaries of sena-
tors and representatives from So 600 tc
81 800 per annun. Practically every
man who voted against the increase did
so from fear that his vote would react
and result in his defeat two wears
hence, and nearly every man who voted
negatively saw a grab in the legislation
proposed. The legislation was entirely
meritoriOus.
The three congressman from Wash
ington voted for the increase. Binger
Hermann voted against it, but he would
not be a beneficiary. French, of Idaho,
was not present.
Representative Jones, of Washing
ton, today introduced a bill proposing
to increase by 20 per cent the salaries
of all civil service employees of the gov
ernment on July l next.
The first salary amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill today was moved by
Littauer, of New York, and was as fol-
lows:
con and after March 4, 1907, the
compensation of the speaker Of the
house of representatives and vice presi-
dent of the United States shall be at
the rate of $l2 900 each. -
BY vote of PA to 81 the amend
ment was adopted Littauer also in
troduced an amendment increasing the
salaries of the members of the presi-
dents cabinet to $l2 900 each, effective
on and after March 4, 1907.
On division, the amendment was
adopted 204 to so. Littauer also offer
ed an amendment increasing the salar-
les OF senators, representatives in con-
gress and delegates from territories to
81 800 per annum. On a rising vote
after considerable debate, the amend
ment was defeated by vote Of 1875 to
161.
After disposing of the salary ques-
ton the house passed the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill

Sell Indian Minors Land.

Washington, Dec. -. - Representa-
tive Jones today introduced a bill au-
thorizing the sale of the land of Indian
minors on petition Of parents or guar
dians onr Of the Indian agent in charge,
subject to the approval of the secretary
of the interior. At present large areas
of land under government irrigation
projects and in rich agricultural dis
tricts are tied up because minors are
unable to utilize the land and unable to
dispose Of it.. The bill is intended par
ticularlv to dispose Of the land Of Indian
children on the Yakima reservation.

Strike on Portland Street Car Lines
Ties Up Traffic.

Portland, Dec. l7.-Portland's street
car system was almost completely tied
up Saturday night at O'Clock by a
strike, called by local union lSl, Anal
gamated Association of Street and Elec-
tric Railway employed of America. A
few minutes before that hour cars were
stopped on Washington street at the
corner of Third by the strikers, and
motormen and conductors were per-
suaded to leave their posts. Mobs
collected and riot followed which
continued until early Sunday morning.
The success Of the strikers was due al
most wholly to the strong sympathy
with them Of all union men in the city,
represented by the Federated Trades
council, and to the support of the mob
which gathered along Washington
street. Numbers gave courage to those
who led the demonstrations against the
company and the mob urged the leaders
on to constantly greater acts of lawless
ness.
The company used every effort for a
time to continue the operation of cars,
but gave it up at about 9 O'Clock, and
concentrated its efforts on getting the
stalled cars back to the barns.
After maintaining II partial service
between a. m. and p. III. Sunday,
the cars were sent to the barns and no
attempt was made to operate after
nightfall, as it was feared the scenes Of
violence of Saturday nj ght would be re-
peated. All probably will resume their
runs this morning at daylight Wheth-
er they will BE- operated tonight will
depend upon whether or not the police
prove themselves able to control the
crowds. The strikers have had the
better Of it during the past "A hours.
The objects sought by the strikers
are practically. the same as those the
union was demanding at the time of
the last trouble, namely, recognition of
the union, the abolition of the photo
graph system for identification of en-
ployes and more pay

SLOW AS OK TEAMS.
Freight Cars Travel but an Average
Of 23 Miles a Day.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-'Car shortag,
and traffic congestion are more seriou.
now than they ever have been in the
history of this country. Already &
number of schools in the Northwest
have been forced to close because coal
shipments could not be had. Business
all over the United States is being in
iured vitality by the existing conditions.
and remedy must be had quickly, if
chaos in commerce is to be prevented. "
The foregoing statement was made by
Interstate Commerce Commissioner
franklin Lane, who, with Commission
er James S. Harlan, arrived in Chicago
over the Pennsylvania road from Wash
ington on the way to Minneapolis,
where hearing will be given the rail
roads and shippers of Minnesota.
when you come to think of the
freight car problem, it is one Of the big
gest in this country said Mr.. Lane.
"Do you know that the average speed
of freight cars is only % miles a day?
Just think of it! With the big bus-
ness interests of Chicago and other
cities crying out for more cars, the
'empties' are leisurely making their
way across the country.
Something is wrong, or this condi-
ton would not exist. If the average
speed made by freight car is only 23
miles day, we might as we'll have the
Did wagon trains and oxen back. They
made as good time as that, and there
we're no rates or rebates or wrecks.
What is the cause Of this state of af-
airs? Well, that is for us to find out,
md we hope to do so in a very short
ime.
Mr.. Lane said a number of com
nercial organizations had suggested
md advocated reciprccll demurrage
aw that would compel the railroads
n the event of unusual delay, to make
ood the damage.

BUILD MORE SHIPS.
Dewey Says Present Policy of Con-
gress is Retrograde Move.

Washington, Dec. Il. Admiral
Dewey believes that the authorization
hv congress of at least three large bat
tleships a year is essential for keeping
the American navy in state Of eff
cheney and that the policy of one bat
tleship year now being urged by a
certain element, would be positive
retrograde movement.
He was asked if the policy suggested
by some persons Of only providing one
battleship during an entire congress
would result in an actual increase in
the navy or in virtual decrease in
fighting strength.
"Such a policy would be retrograde
in its charaater," said the admiral.
ct would not take up the waste or sup
ply the places Of the ships that are
bound to deteriorate and which should
be placed out Of commission. We have
three battleships which were fine ships
in their day, but they We're laid down
in 1891, about rs years ago. They are
the Indiana the Oregon and the Mas-a-
chusetts They have the defect Of not
possessing balance turrets, which causes
Il list when their guns are all trained to
one side, thus exposing the hull below
the water line and laying the ships
open to danger from the fire Of an
enemy on that side

NO ENGINES TO HAUL CARS
N,arIy 5000 Empties Are Idle in
Kansas City Yards.

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-The Journal
today says;
A systematic inspection Of the term
inal railroad yards here shows that
there are 5000 empty freight cars
standing idle in the Kansas City yards,
because the railroads have not sufficient
motive power to move them. There
are not less than 1000 loaded cars
standing in the yards here and the
dates of loading some of them showed
that they had been ready to move for
two weeks. There is no shortage of
cars here, but shortage of engines.
At Sedalia, Mo-, there are 261 empty
freight cars by actual count and at
Springfield there are 379. At Topeka
there are more than 800 empty cars in
the yards; at Wichita about 200 and at
Hutchinson about so cars.
