should think, should be elected from
the different states, SO that we would
have outside influence. That Is to say.
the people in Washington, not having
the rights of suffrage, have no infiu-
ence. while residents of the states have
their representatives and senators in Con-
gress, who could be of great assistance
to US in securing improvements for the
National capital. which Is the pride Of
every American citizen.
The power of this outside influence has
been practically demonstrated by one of
our most progressive residents. who is

played by him.
Compliments Col. Randle.
1T Is not necessary for me to say that
Arthur h. Randle has today more in
fuence in Washington than has the
Chamber of Commerce, the Board of
Trade and all the citizens associations
Of Washington combined. simply be-
cause he has a large number of people
in the states interested with him; and
whenever he wants anything his outside
influence is brought to bear. and it Is
only necessary to visit the towns he has
built and is building to see the prac-
teal force of this outside influence.
In brief. suggest that the Chamber
of Commerce not only expand so as to
cover the entire city of Washington. but
spread out SO its membership will cover
every section of our great country. 1
am satisfied an effort along this line
will strike a responsive chord with every
patriotic American citizen who has the
future of the national capital at heart
and who desires to see 1t become the
most beautiful Of all cities

PHILADELPHIA, October &C. p.
Gardner of Harvard yesterday won the
intercollegiate singles lawn tennis cham
pionship for 1907. defeating in the final
round N w Niles of the same university
by three sets to one. The result, which
was unexpected. as Niles had been the
favorite, was fitting climax to the tour
nament which has been in progress for
the past week on the grounds Of the
Merton Cricket Club.
Gardner played in great form through
out, holding his formidable opponent even
in the first two sets and cutting loose in
the next two in a style that stamps him
one Of the most promising young players
in the country. The court was in wretched
condition from the heavy rains Of the
night previous, a half gale was blowing
and the weather was decidedly too cold.
Despite these drawbacks. the many good
plays were applauded by an appreciative
gallery.
Niles fell off badly in the last two sets,

This agency is thoroughly reliable
and complete and now covers SIX
hundred districts in the United
States. 1t has been adopted by the
retail merchants associations OF
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio and
has a high standing in a wide bust
ness circle. 1t is really to the re-
tail merchants what Dunn and
Bradstreet are to the wholesale mer-
chants. It affords the same advant-
ages, protection and character of
service.
The standing and rating are made
up directly from the ledgers Of mer-
chants and classified in a systematic
and intelligent manner. The scope
is complete. and in reference to
clarksburg viii cover the principal
cities and towns in six counties in
this section OF the State, namely.
Harrison, Lewis. Upshur. Barbour,

All these cities and towns win be

year. That good many of them

worthy of note that solicitors have

padded delinquent letters to be sent
to customers, which is a valuable
factor of the transaction Of business.
Mr.. F. NJ. Lower and a crew of
men are here now soliciting and
working this field as to standing and

chants realizing quickly the great
value and usefulness OF such a pub
lication.
