Thich inadequate facilities for transpor.

which inadequate facilities for transpor.
tation has upon its trade and commerce.
Nor is there community that does not
know that with adequate facilities,
such as would be furnished by the Nine
Foot Stage in the Ohio, the tonnage of
Pittsburg, enormous though it is.
would be largely increased. So would
the tonnage of every community in the
Ohio Valley be increased over its pre-
sent proportions. Facilities for trans
portation mean increase in business as
certainly as inadequate facilities, such
as exist to-day, mean periods of stagna-
ton where there should be one constant
period Of business and industrial
activity. The Ohio Valley owes it to
the whole country, no less than to its
own enterprises, to march steadily and
in unity, to the accomplishment of the
Nine Foot Stage from Pittsburg to
Cairo.

Deserts Democrat U.

The report is going the rounds of
the press that the Hon. Virgil A.
Lewis has cut himself loose from
the corpse of democracy and has
joined the party of prosperity and
living issues. You did the proper
thing, Virgie, you were too young
and brainy to be bound down to
the decaying corpse that don't
know that it is dead and for that
reason still lives. Now, Virgle, help
to skin the democrats because you
belonged to the party long enough
to know that they need it.
This leads us to inquire why are
all the brainy men of the democratic
party leaving it? Why have such
men as Joseph NJ. Sanders, G. f.

of their reasons for refusing to vote
for Fish's reelection as president.

Mr.. Fish. when asked over the tele.
phone regarding the truth of MIR. Har.
ahan's statement regarding the 81
100000 loan, admitted that he had Dor.
rowed this sum from the surplus OF
the company. He said the loan was ne.
gotiated regularly. and was made at a
time when the company was seeking
an investment for It's funds and after
II had been unable to place II ad.
vantageousiy with any bank.
When the loan fell due" said Mr..
Fish, Il proposed to Mr.. Hartman TO
negotiate a new loan with Kuhn. Loeb
& Co. Mr.. Hartman asked me not to
do this. and volunteered TO loan me
the sum himself. He did so, and I re.
paid II at maturity"
