We pause In the discussion Of the
license question to pay our respects
to the manly men IN our city council.
The saloon forces have resorted appar-
emily TO all known tactics TO wrench
from the people the right to vote on
this living question. They circulate
ed and presented to the council a
counter petition, asking that this
question be held from the people:
they tried to raise frightful financial
scare. and on last night when they
thought the temperance people were
mapping. they tried to persuade the
council to reconsider their former ac-
ton. We call the attention Of all the
people OF Fairmont. men, women and
children. to the manly way in which
a majority of our council have stood
by the time-honored American princi-
pie that the people shall have the right
to vote their sentiments on all living
issues.

In our opening article We consented
to discuss the license question on the
plane of business, knowing that some
people who were unfriendly 10 the sa-
loon were a little reluctant to vote it
out because of the possible effect ON
business conditions. We knew. how
ever, that there was a more ponderous
obstacle in the way of Temperance re-
form In the deceptive cry that "Prohi-
bition does not prohibit We knew
that facts and figures from cities close
home were eloquent enough to con-
vinuce a majority of our voters that
closed saloons do not hurt business.
True, the advertising agent Of the
brewery and the saloons produced in
yesterdays paper letter from East
Liverpool. O.. showing the bad effects
OF no license. Does anybody doubt
that he could produce another and still
another similar letter from that city?
He might produce similar letter
from Moundsville and still have re-
serve of two business men to tell the
same story. But the other 10S bust
ness and professional men of Mounds

against license and roll up 264 major

Fairmont man said about Moundsville

HELPS LAND GRAB
Gaines of Tennessee Alleges
Cannon Attempted to Pro-
teCt Lumber Trust
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Represent-
ative Gaines of Tennessee has charged
Speaker Cannon with attempting the
protection of land grab by the lumber
trust. He made this charge in the
house yesterday. The charge relates to
a land grab given the Oregon Central
railroad, now owned by E. H. Hartman
and the Southern Pacific railroad At
torney Geperal Bonaparte recently
asked congress for the right TO fore
close this grant, which was given to
the railroad in 1886. The grant in
Guided 10000 900 acres of land in Oregon,
which, by the terms of the grant, was
to be sold to bona fide settlers at $3.50
an acre. 1t is alleged that the railroad
sold only $4,000 acres in accordance
with the terms of the grant, and there
after sold 100000 acres more In larger
tracts and at higher prices than the
grant permitted. Among other pur-
chasers Is said to have been the lumber
trust, which bought in one sale $4,000
acres at $40 an acre.

SENATE TO DISCUSS
FOUR BATTLESHIPS
Piles Proposes to Amend Naval
Appropriation Bill Passed
by the House

WASHINGTON, April 23-As the
senate was to conclude consideration of
the naval appropriation bill today Piles
OF Washington proposed an amendment
increasing from two to four the num-
Der of new battleships to be authorized.
AS several senators desired to speak
on the amendment. further considera-
tion OF the bill was postponed until
tomorrow.
An amendment TO the naval bill was
adopted appropriating s7,000.000 to be-
gin construction on the two battleships
authorized by the bill as it was passed
by the house. The provision of ST.
100000 toward the construction of light
submarine torpedo boats was increased
to $4,000, 900.
A spirited debate occurred on the
amendment for the restriction of the
purchase of materials for the construc-
tion Of the battleships and submarine
boats to those of domestic manufac-
ture.
Amendments to remove that restric-
tion from the bill were defeated. Hale
stating that since the investigation of
the steel trust some years ago the
price OF steel armor had been reduced
from $3.50 and 5000 per ton to s41s per
ton.
ATTACK STEEL TRUST
1OES oheIcQ tlle amendment, he SalG,
to rescue this country from the tolls
OF the steel trust which he, regarded
as the tapeworm of the treasury" The
steel trust, he said, not only holds up
the country but 1t held up the Ameri-
can merchant marine.
Bacon also spoke in favor of elimin-
ating the provision requiring materials
of domestic manufacture, as he said 1t
would by law force the government
to buy OF the trust at extortionate
prices. He remembered, he said, hear
ing the senator from Maine (TIale) on
a former occasion say the steel trust
had the opportunity to put the knife
into u.s."
Money offered, an amendment provid-
ing that material for the new ships
shall be of domestic manufacture. but
permitting 1t to be purchased abroad.
