Senators Elkins and Scott
Will Take Up Struggle
Again Later.
A NEW INDUSTRY is
To Be That of Laurel Root in
the State of West
Virginia.


WASHINGTON. d. c., June 2S.-
Both West Virginia senators are brok-
en-hearted today. After a fight which
has lasted for months they were
beaten on oil in the Senate as in the
committee of the whole. In other
matters they won but in oil they were
knocked out by vote Of 40 to -.
but the fight has not yet been given
up. This bill is 10 be reported to the
Senate and oil will not he on the free
list If either Senator Elkins or Scna-
tor Scott can help it.
This is the way that 1t was done.
The House put oil on the free list by
an overwhelming vote. There were
less than fifty Republicans who voted
for a duty on oil and over three hun
dred members of the House voted
against it. Immediately after the
Payne bill came to the Senate the two
senators laid their plans to fight for
certain duties on coal, lumber and
oil: the WOODEN schedule in the Payne
bilr suits them: there were other
similar items to be looked after, bu,
these were the three large measures
They commenced working on the
finance committee, finally they were
able to get Senator Aldrlch to agree
that an amendment placing a duty on
oil should he reported from the COM
mittce; but he. Senator Aldrich. would
not present It: would not speak in IA
vor of 1t; would do nothing but let IL
be presented. SO Senator Penrose pre-
scented it and it went down to defeat.
Four New England senators who had
promised to vote for this amendment
voted the other way. This makes
trouble.
still II Chance.
The bill will be reported to the sem
ate after the corporation and income
taxes are disposed OF and then the
senators will go to work again. Sena-
tor SCOTS amendments will be voted
on and a better result is hoped for.
As a last resort the two senators are
going To insist that countervalllng
duty shall be placed ON this article
This is the way 1t is under the present
law.
On the two other large products,
coal and lumber. which were finally
acted on last week. the disposition in
each case was very satisfactory. Coal
has duty OF so cents with Is cents on
slack and no countervailing duty as
when the, bill came from the House.
This is a reduction of seven cents a
ton on coal and 1t is not serious at
all to West Virginia though 1t is to
Wyoming, and some of the other west
ern states where the grade of coal is
not so good as that in West Virginia.
The slack definition. which has been
decided on. is of much Importance TO
the state. Slack is to be natural slack
and nothing else. This will especially
help the New River region and Poca-
hontas coal field.

TALK ON CARNEGIE LIBRARY
BY MISS Lutte STEARNS

Miss Lutte StearnS, Of Madison,
Wis. Secretary of the State Library
Association delivered one of her popu-
lar lectures on the Carnegie Libraries.
It was illustrated with lantern slides
of some of the largest and most costly
libraries now in existence in this
country. She handled her subject ably
and we'll and kept her audience inter
ested. The main purpose of her talk
was to acQuaint the people of Grand
Rapids with the detailed information
in connection with obtaining a gift
from Mr.. Carnegie and the manner of
sustaining them after the library is
once erected. If we remember cor
rectly she made the statement that an
additional $3.50 per year to the amount
we are now paying annually to sup
port the t. B. Scott Free Public
Library would be all the extra
cost to the city if we accepted the
gift of $4,000 for. a new building.
This being true we cannot see why
the City Council. would hesitate to
accept a gift of $4,000 or sS25. 900 for
such a valuable purpose.
We were sorry. not TO see any mem
bers of the Common Council and
| City officials who ought to be interest
ed in this subject, at the lecture that
evening. We understand that the
Ladies of the Federation had given
them a special invitation to.be pres
ent. Miss Stearns is certainly well
posted on the subject of libraries in
Wisconsin and the country at large.

and in the future, and that the pri.
vate interest of the land owners on,
either side should have very little con-
sideration or influence on their DELHI
erationS.
1t seems to US that they have made
great mistake, and one that should be
remedied before it is too late. With
an eight foot side walk on each side
there Will be 81 feet left for wagon
traffic, which will be three feet wider
than now exists between the Wood
County Bank and the Frank Wood
block.
On account of the large attendance
OF high school children from the west
side, this piece of street will always.
have large amount of foot travel,
and because of It's grade and for other
reasons, the wagon traffic will be
comparatively small
While the greater part Of the side
walk travel will always be on the
south side of that street, and it will
therefore require at least an eight
foot walk, the size and height of the
new bank building requires at least an
eight foot walk on the north side of
the street to give proper proportions
and not mar the appearance of the
building. Just think of the effect of
a narrow side walk along side of such
magnificent building, The APP
pearance of this building or any of
our fine buildings is of as much public
interest and qualification to eyery
good citizen as to the owners of the
property.
Notwithstanding the mistake by
the Common Council, the Board of
Public Works cannot relieve them
selves from their obligations to the
Public in this matter.

SUBSCRIBERS WHO
STOP PAPER

A few months ago a cranky
sort Of an old man came into this
office and stopped his paper be-
cause something in it did not just
suit his fancy. We have frequent
ly met him on the streets since that
time and it is amusing to note the
look of surprise on the old fellows
face that we are still in existence
regardless of the fact that he stOpp-
ed his paper. Some day-and it won't
be long either-that old gentleman
will turn up his toes. His heart
will be stilled forever. Neighbors
and friends will follow his Iife-less
clay to the silent city and lay them
to rest among Ethe flowers. An obit-
uary will be published in these col
umns telling. what a kind father, a
good neighbor and beloved citizen he
was-which the recording angel will
overlook for charity's sake, and in
a very short time he will he. forgotten
AS. he lies out there in the cold, cold
graveyard wrapped in the silent slum.
Der of death, he wiz never know
that the last kind word spoken of
him was by the editor of that paper
which in life he so spitefully 'sstop-
ped" Did you ever pause just
moment and think that your editor
whoever he. may be, will write your
obituary some day2

VINE STREET CONTROVERSY

Our Board of Public Works have
had under consideration the putting
in of side walks on Vine street be-
tween blocks Is and IA in Neeves
Addition, and as they did not agree
among themselves as to the width of
the walks they would require On each
side of that 1idened street. they sub
mitted the matter to the Common
Council, and that body, at it's last
meeting, after hasty discussion in
which they confused their delibera-
tion with the retrial and discussion
of the case lately tried between the
city and NJ. A. Bogoger, decided to
put in 6 foot walk on each side Of
the street.
On account of the confusion, above
referred to, they seemed to forget
that the purposes of that street and
its walks is to serve the public now
