Endorses State seml-centennial,

EndOTSes Stale oemf-AeHrenniat,
In letter to Col. John E. Day, of
New Martinsyille. indorsing the propos-
al to celebrate the semi-centennial of
West Virginia in 1913, Hon. Henry G..
Davis writes: 1T would afford pleas
ing occasion for the people of the State
to proclaim its steady growth in all the
essentials of a happy and prosperous
Commonwealth, and to make manifest
its great material resources awaiting
further development. IF it is my privi-
lege to join in this celebration will
be able to follow, almost by constant
touch. the important events of the
States history from the beginning.
served in both branches of the Legisla-
ture soon after the creation of the
State, and then bad the honor to repre-
sent it for IL years in the United States
Senate. With its material, as well as
its political side, | am also familiar
from having taken part therein, and |
feel considerable pride in having aided
in measure, at least, in the rapid
progress West Virginia has made in in
dustrial and commercial affairs. 1t is
several years before the semi-centen-
NAL will occur, but it is will to call at
tention to it so that preparations may
be made for proper commemoration
of the event."

'It is now certain, says the Wall
Street Journal, that the Baltimore &
Ohio, in the fiscal year ended on June
80 last, will show approximately $50
per cent. earned on its common stock,
or sufficient to pay the full per cent.
on the common with 81, 1853, 900 to spare.
This is almost sufficient to make good
the deficit of 81, 373, 1852 shown in the
fiscal year 1908, caused by maintaining
the full dividend rate on the common
in a period when earnings were show
ing tremendous declines and when in
the face of considerable criticism, the
directors were compelled to draw on
surplus earnings for the above amount
in order to maintain the full rate on
the common stock" Official figures
for the full year 1909 show a decrease
in gross earnings from 1908 of 81, 600, :
900 and OF $1l, 100, 900 from 1907. Yet
in face of these declines in gross rev
enues, net earnings for 1909 show an
increase of s., 900, 900 in round num-
bers, over 1908, and decrease of only
So, 800, 600 from 1907. 1t is added that
the favorable showing for the year has
not been accomplished without drastic
cuts in maintenance expenditures, in
addition to economies in the operating
department. On the other hand, in
the year 1908, notwithstanding heavy
decreases in gross earnings, the main
tenance figures were scarcely reduced
at all. The Journal says ''The Balti-
more & Ohio has a long record of heavy
maintenance and improvement expen-
ditures extendi g up to the close Of the
fiscal year 1908. and in the light Of the
high level on which these were MAIN
tanned TO preserve the condition of its
property, the recent drastic reductions
can reasonably be considered within the
bounds of conservatism. The gross
increase of SITS, 100 in the month of
June indicates the effect of improve
ment in business conditions upon the
transportation receipts of railroads
and it is assumed that, now that the
road is assured of earning its full COM
mon dividend. its former policy OF
maintenance expenditures will be re-
sumed.

JUDGE DANIEL B. LUCAS.
A Tribute From Judge Brannon.

| am reluctant to let Judge Lucas de-
parture for the Land of the Hereafter
pass without few words of farewell
from me. Farewell, old colleague of the
Supreme Court bench. 1t may not be
long ere we meet again in that sphere
which keeps the disembodied spirits of
the dead" Shall we meet ever, you and
land those others of my dead colleagues,
Green. Snyder, Holt? ! do not know.
From the voiceless lips of the unreply-
ing dead there comes no word; but in
the night of death hope sees star. and
listening love can hear the rustic of the
wing"
The gifted, scholastic, learned, elo-
quent Lucas. The able, trained lawyer,
the great jury orator, the great rostrum
orator, Lucas. The poet, Lucas. The
excellent newspaper writer, Lucas. The
statesman, Lucas. The courteous, affa-
BILE, cultivated, Christian Virginia gen.
tleman, Lucas. That Lucas is gone. No
more will be heard in the Legislature,
in the forum, on the rostum. But we
shall hear him still in the grammatical
flowing sentences of his lecture upon
Daniel O'Connell, the Irish Liberator;
and we shall be reminded of his intense
love of Virginia and the South in his
poem upon the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the Confederate Gem
etery at Winchester, and in his Confed
crate poem, "The Land Where We Were
Dreaming" His judicial ability viii
still appear in the West Virginia reports.
Though dead he yet lives. Our relations
while colleagues on the bench were cor
dial, our offices adjoining. Together and
alone we spent the night of the last
day of his service on the Supreme Court
bench. well remember that he said
that if he had competent salary and
my health he would prefer seat on
that bench over any other office. When
the clock on the capitol struck twelve,
he received its stroke, not with glad
ness, but with composure, willing to be
relieved of his burden because of phys
zeal disability. Again farewell; rather
goodbye, which means God be with
you, and with those other colleagues
gone before. Pax Vobiscum. How hos
pitable was Judge Lucas at his beauti-
full country home, Rion Hall, when he
would give dinners to the members of
the Court and their friends. The door of
old Virginia welcome turned freely on
its hinges, oiled with warm, courteous
hospitality.
Judge Lucas departed
'In the glory of the sunset,
In the purple mists of evening,
To the Islands of the Blessed,
To the kingdom of Pomemah,
To the land of the Hereafter.

FRANK MORRISON MAKESPL
Demands that McKees Rocks Wages
Be Investigated.
NaEeI Gets n Letter from the Amer
lean Federation of Labor
Secretary.

Frank Morrison, secretary cf the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor. has written to
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor Nagel
asking FOR an investigation OF the wages
paid by the Pressed Steel Car Company.
OF McKees Rocks, Pa.
After commenting on what he says are
the unfair wages paid at McKees Rocks
and the bad conditions which prevail
there, Mr.. Morrison says the Pressed
Steel Car Company is favored by the
government, being protected by the tariff.
He declares that representatives Of great
iron and steel companies during the re-
cent tariff hearings set up the plea that
II the existing rates Of tariff were con-
tinued the benefits would accrue to the
employe. and that II the duties were re-
moved the employees would suffer. Now
Mr.. Morrison contends that the public
has a right to know IL iron and steel
companies are profting by protection.
and IL they are keeping faith by giving
the employees some Of the benefits Of such
protection. He asks Mr. Nagel to find
out for him.

breaches OF FAITH.
Rev. John c. Hill, of Ohio, Occupies
New York Avenue Pulpit.

Rev. John Clark Hill, OF the First
Presbyterian Church. OF Springfield. Ohio.
preached yesterday morning at the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church. in
the absence OF the regular pastor Rev.
DIR. Wallace Radcliffe. Faith was the
subject.
Faith is the Rock OF Ages OF all re-
ligion," said the Rev. DR.. Hi, "and no
amount OF modern blasting can SILVER
it. Faith is regarded by some as super
stition, because It cannot be measured
or weighed as are the things Of real life,
but there cannot be any true conversion
without It. The lack Of faith IS the lack
of religion"
Speaking Of modern preachers. who fail
to convince, he said it was because they
have tried to convert others when they
themselves did not have faith.
solid faith gives substance to things
hoped for" he said in conclusion. Faith
sees beyond the present The lack of
faith is not the true worship OF God"
