HITCHCOCK,

May Quit Cabinet
at Presidents
Request

WASHINGTON, April 4.-There are
rtimors that before the congressional
elections some changes may be expect
ed In the Presidents Cabinet, but none
Of these stories can be confirmed.
Among the retirements. most often
mentioned as possible are those of
Secretary Dickinson, Of the War De.
partment, and Postmaster General
Hitchcock. Also 1t is stated that Sec
retary BaIllnger may resign from the
Interior Department at the close of
the present investigation.
Some of the party leaders are urg-
ing upon the President the desirability
of appointing to the treasury some
man who has afflliatei with the party.
There is no dissatisfaction with the
administration of Secretary Mac
Vcagh, but some politicians argue that
the President should not hesitate to
use every leverage to advance the adj
minfstation politically. If two or
more changes should be made in the
cabinet 1t is stated with some author
ity that one OF the places would go to

gressmen causes the party workers to
fear his. influence will have a bad eff

this fall. His resignation would be a
source of delight to many of the Pres
ilent's close friends in congress.
No one in the confidence of the
President, it is said, would be sarprls-
cd il the vacancy on the Supreme
Court bench caused by the death of
Justice Brewer should be offered to
Governor Hughes of New York. There
is, however, an opinion here that Gov.

to Solicitor General Lloyd W. Bowers.

BIG GGROCERY
FOR FAlRAOlII
Mr.. JOHN i. lIAsKlNs WILL oPER.
ATE LARGE STORE ON THE
SOUTH SIDE.

I. =
That Fahmont Is to have one Of the
largest and most up.to-date grocery
stores in West virginia wss made
known yesterday, when it was given
out that Mr.. John 7. Haskins, Of Man
nington, had acquired a five years
lease on the building at the corner Of
First street and Fairmont avenue for.
merIy occupied by the Tay1orG Gettings
Company Mr.. Hasldns, who now con-
d cts the largest store Of that charac.
ter in the state at Warrington, says
that he Will make the local place even
greater than his present store.
Two floors will be occupied by the
new establishment here and 1t viii be
modern in every particular. The great
amount Of floor space t., be occupied
assures Mr.. Haskins of room to carry
everything that Is necessary to make
a very complete stock.
Mr.. Haskins has a wonderful trade
at his Mannington store, secured and
held by his cheap prices and his lib
eral use of printers ink. He Is by far
the greatest grocery advertiser In this
section of the State, and he says that
the use Of newspapers has been chief
ly responsible forh is enormous pa
tronage. 1t is a we'll known fact that
people travel for miles by rail and
otherwise to make their purchases Of
the Warrington grocer.
Mr.. Has&ins has spent years in the
business and his keen knowledge Of
the details is great assistance to him
in securing goods at prices that allow
his retail offerings. He says tnat
when he opens the new store here he
will be in position to buy far greater
consigncments Of goods, and will, con-
sequentlg, be in position to offer even
more attractive bargains than he now
does at Warrington.
Work will begin at once on the re-
modelling of the rooms and the fittings
have ben ordered. It is the hopes Of
Mr.. Haskins to have his local place in
shape for business in a short time, but
he will make the fact known through
the newspapers long before the doors
are thrown open.
There has been considerable talk
about a grocery of this character for
Fairmont for some time. Fairmont
has other lines, especially a depart
ment store, that commands trade from
out of town, and it goes without say.
ing that grocery store On a large
scale viii appeal to every housekeep-
er. BY advertising he not only meets
the local demand for groceries, but
has good mail oredr business. His
store at Warrington would do credit
to Fairnont or even q much larger
town.
The location OF the store to be open
ed here is not in the immediate busl.
ness section, but the amount Of adver.
ittsing Mr.. HaskIns will do will bring
1t into such prominence that 1t win be

| WASdlNGIQSs April 4.=-=lhe bdt-
dmore American, Of April first, In a
washington dispatch under heaulng
"The Fight in West Virginia" /" states
| the President had as luncheon e. .,fs
Representatives Hubbard ;snd stIr
giss and former Governor Dave u, of
West Virginia, and then alleges, "l;e.
cause Mr.. Hubbard is a very active
candidate for the q. s. senatorship to
succeed Senator Scott, and because
Messrs. sturgiss and Dawson arc
among his most active supporters.
and because finally, II is wen kaown
that President Taft would be glad to
see Senator Scott reelected, L was
generally surnised that President
Taft would discuss the senatorial sit
uatIon with his guests"
Representative sturgiss states that
"the senatorial situation was not men
toned, much less discussed, on tllat
occasion" He further states tha. on
more than one occasion prior TO that
occasion, the President declared that
he was taking no part in the senator
ial contest and had expressed no prof.
erence, and repudlated the repeated
statements by newspaper correspond
ents that he desired the Reelection of
Senator Scott over Mr.. Hubbard, and
authorized Representative stursiss to
SO state.
The Americans dispatch correctly
states the Presidents position when
it says. president Taft will in West
virginia, as in every other State,
rigldly adhere to his rule never to
take part in matters that concern the
State only"
The Americans dispatch makes The
false statement, doubtless ;nfnren.
tlonally, that Representative Sur.
glss is bitterly opposed 10 the legu-
lar organization in his state.S On the
contrary he is an organization man;
has always recognized .the party or

and other committeessin,r rscommerd-
ing census and postofice appoint

concentrations or appointments been
made with purpose to influence the
chances Of any candidate for the U.
S. Senator.
1t is not true that 'tle orsaniza.

nor have either of the Senators recon-
mended his name" nor is it at al! like
ly that they are SO bitter agains: Mr..
Henshaw that they will oppose his
confirmation.
The concluding sentence of the
Americans dispatch is most unjust
and unfair insinuation. at is believ-
ed that tho President by decltttns to
nominate Mr.. sturgiss' man, will thus
indicate his sympathy with the friends
OF Senator Scott" BY the same sort
of reasoning, Mr.. Henshaw's appoint
ment would indicate his sympathy
with the friends Of Mr.. Hubbard
Either conclusion would do the P-esl-
dent injustice, for Henshaw's appoint
ment has no sort of connection with
the election of a U. s. Senator.

So thou art free? Obey the call thou

Nor stop to pity nor to soothe the
heart thou tearest:
For Duty's orders, illconceived. thou

RELENTLESS Duty, sterne tho chaste as
snow and chilling.
The door is open, and beyond it is the
road
That leads you to contentment-or adds
to sorrows load.
The bird that leaves its mothers nest

Dares natures ancient law, and soaring

Or else, II premature in flight, it drops

With immatured winglets pointinp

Inc open sea invites your keen and
willing bark;
The harbor-bells ring out-wilt thou

Then shun the veiled and treacherous
crags that thrust
Their gaunt and hungry faces out with
wrecking-lust.
Outward there is no fateful rock nor

Calm oceans bosom for thy couch thou

Less storm-impassioned she should sud-

THE TRUE WIFE.

Do you ask from whence comes the
beautiful word wife? 1t is the great
word IN which the English and Latin
languages conquered the French and
Greek. hope the French will some
day get word for it, instead of that
dreadful word femme"
But where do you think it comes from?
The beautiful characteristic of Saxon
words is that they mean something.
Wife means weaver. You must either
be housewives or house-moths, remem-
Der that. In the deep sense. you must
either weave mems fortunes and en-
broider them, or feed upon and bring
them to decay.
Wherever true wife comes, home is
always around her. The stars may be
over her head, the glow worm in the
night cold grass may be the only fire at
her feet. but home is wherever she is.
and for noble woman it stretches far
around her, better than house ceiled with
cedar or painted with vermilion, she'd
ding its quiet light far from those who
elsewhere are homeless. This, then. I
believe to be the woman's true sphere
and power.-Ruskin.

brains are required rather than muscle.
Such call is a living, witness of the
truth. In the days of youth he made
good.
When you hear of men complaining
that they have no chance, explaining
they are life's unfortunates. sitting
down and letting children support them.
you may hang it on your walls as a
truth that they have wasted life, been
querulous, insubordinate, impractical.
or have not used their brains for the
men for whom they worked in the days
OF opportunity. There is no necrom-
ancy about life. 1t proceeds on definite
and prescribed rules, obeys laws and
accomplishes practical results. He who
obeys life's laws need not fear the long.

missed opportunities and esteemed sell
fsh interests and pleasure of more
moment than employers work. The
man who makes good knows that his
employer has right to every minute
of his time, his best work, his highest
endeavor. He does not watch the
clockl He does not daily! With him
the greatest thing during the working
hours is his employers interests. The
man who works in that spirit never

Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1910-02-18
THE MAN WHO MAKES GOOD.

lou may not be able to distinguish
the man who makes good when he is
walking down street with thousands of
his fellow-citiZehs. But the moment
you step into the office where he is en-
ployed, the factory in which he works,
the church in which he breaches. or the
bedside by which he practices, YOU
recognize him at once.
He may be little, nsignifcant-look-
ing fellow. but there is breezy man
ner about him that compels attention.
He may weigh like a Taft, but you
forget his obesity in his ability to make
the wheels go round. He has a swing
and step born only of accomplishment.
He is neither gay, gaudy nor garrulous.
He is neither sleepy, sloppy nor Shiny.
He is manly, mannerly and methodical.
He knows when, where and why. He
has the happy faculty of arriving at
exactly the right time and place. When
he lands he lands squarely, with both
feet pointing forward.
The man who makes good is master
of the situation! He is not compelled
to ask privileges or make apologies in
order to hold his position. He is not
treated as an inferior by those who
hold more responsible positions, paying
larger salaries, for these men know
that he is using the usual talent of
mankind for the accomplishment of usual
work. Unusual mental power, unused,
does not equal usual mental power usedl
The man who makes good never whines!
He is never compelled to do the baby
act or work the sympathetic racket
His work speaks for itself. 1t is the
testimony of the faithful fidelity of a
conscientious worker.
The man who makes good is not con-
tent to rest on past accomplishments.
Every act of making good is an incen-
tive TO further attempts in the same
direction. The past therefore, gives
impetus in the present and strength for
the days that are to come
The man who makes good is always
IN demand. He need not worry about
positions. If through necessity he
must make a change, other men in the
same line are only too glad to give him
employment. There is only one class
of people who should be compelled to
hunt for work-those young men who
have not yet had opportunity to make
good and show their worth to employers
who will appreciate their ability in the
work that is congenial to their tastes.
The majority of men who knock from
pillar to post are men who failed to
make good in the days when the cur
rents of life flowed swiftly in the veins.
Every once in while you hear a man
OF sixty and upward called to the sup
erintendency of some business estab-
lishment or rendered position where

ARE YOU WORTH $4,000 A
POUND TO YOUR EMP. OVERS

How valuable are you to the company
for which you work?
Are you worth $4,000 a pound for
every pound you weigh? There is one
man in the United States who is re-
garded as worth exactly So, ,464.5O for
each of his 1873 pounds.
That man is John H. Jones. The
Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal Company, of
which he is president, has insured his
life for $1,000,OO0 There is only one
other person now known to carry so
much in one policy. That man is George
w. Vanderbilt.
However the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal
Company did not insure the life of its
president because of his averdupoise
but because of its regard for his
ability to produce results. The coal
company feels that it would suffer Just
81, 600, 900 loss should John II. Jones die.
John Fl. Jones and his brother, David
q. Jones, are two of the ''big'' men at
tending the joint conference here of the
coal miners and operators of the central
competitive field.
The Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal COMPANY
has insured the lives of all its officers
David G., secretary-treasurer, is insured
for 100000. Another brother. T. p
Jones, vice-president of the company.
is insured for $1OO, 900. The companv
is paying more than $50, 600 annually in
premiums.
John H. Jones has worked himself nm
from a boy in the mines to the head of
one OF the biggest coal producing COM
panies in this country. When he was
ten years of age John went to work in
the mines at Greenock, Pa. He learned
the business thoroughly, and gradually
forced his way to the top. His brother
went through the same experience.
Today the holdings of the Jones bows
amount to rs, 900 acres of coal lands in
Pennsylvania; 65, 900 acres in West Vir-
ginla and z 900 acres in Ohio.
The Joneses are of Welsh descent
Their success has not made them aristo-
cratic. They are the most unassuminp
operators in the conference.
