Ryrne on West virginia.

1t 10 a matter of satisfaction to read
what George Byrne in the Nanufact-
urers' Record says about West Virginia
at present and to know it is true, as
follows:
The new year seems pregnant of
great achievements for West Virginia,
and unless the ordinary signs fail the
entire state is to enjoy a season of de-
velopment unequalsd by anything it
has previously experienced. The last
ten years witnessed such great strides
along the path of progress as had not
hitherto been dreamed of and which it
seemed. could scarcely again be equal
ed, in the same length OF time, but the
present promise is that all previous
records will be smashed by those of
the decade just ushered IN and that
the many fortunes accumulated dur
! ing the half-Score years will be greatly
surpassed in both size and number
by those piled up in the next half
score.
Ner is the prosperity promised going
TO be confined to any one section; il
will be evenly and symmetrieally dis
tributed over the entire state. From
the Northern Panhandle, where tine
manufacturing enterprises are being
located and increasing nrmbers O
names added to The weekly payrolls

fields have been discovered and are he

ing and besides there was some Of the
leaders Of the old machine present.
Governor Dawson was there though it
was claimed by the Scott speople some
time back that Dawson has deserted
Hubbard and would be in the Scott
camp. There is one thing certain and
that is there Will be warm time in
Charleston next winter when the SEN

WhffeWaah,

In an interview in the Washington
Times Representative Sherwood de-
elares:
"1he result of the Ballingsr- Pinchot
investigation will be a"Scotch verdict"
for Ballirger. And the President will
retain Ballinger in his cabinet regard
less of public opinion, because the pow
erfal Guggenheim interests are back Of
BallinSer, and the Republican party
needs the Guggenheim money in the
Rocky Mountain states.
"Now mind you, 1t would bs mighty
hard to produce, evidence to show the
truth of this and yet Ballinser was the
attorney for the Cunningham claims
the Guggep helms control those claims.
"If you remember, it became well
known here just as President Roosevelt
was leaving that one of the few requests
be made of his!successor, the man he
put in ocffie, WAS that he retain James
h. Garfield, as secretary of the Interior.
We all know Tiff would go far to please
Roosevelt. But when the Guggenhelms
put forward Ballipger, Garfield had to
go.
"Garfeld was a reformer and Wash
ington is no place for reformer. The
interests keep their men here they who
do their work in the House. Look over
the list and you will see that they have
been in Congress for fifteen or twenty
years. A reforrner comes here and ua-
less he is a particularly diff cult citizen
he lasts about one congress.
81 think there will be two repor Is
from the committee Investigating the
| Pinchot charges. The Republicans will
report for Ballinger and the Democrats
| for Pinchot. The administration wants
it that way. The first committee was
made ap by the administration and
doubtless Ballinger helped pick the mer
Bat the country would not stand for
them and the personnel of the com
mittee was chat ged.
"Furthermer the President knew
all about Ballinger, as much as the lin
vestigation will disclose, at any rate,
when he gave him his clean bill oil
health at Beverly. Mr. Taft had access
to all the records in the matter, and if
be did not know it was his own fault
: "And when Ballinger is whtewash.
, ej--w hieh he will be, since another
verdict is possible-the Presidenr
will stand by him and keep him in the
cabinet, no matter what the trend o
public opinion is. He VIII have to stanC
by the interests that are behind Bal
linger.
"Public opinion has changed, any
: how. remember that when Grant wa,
President, his secretary of war, Mr.
Bslknap, was driven out of the csbine
by public opinion because Mrs. Bslk
nap had accepted a present from, al

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of sanatorla and Hospitals
for consumptlyes is Most
Gratifying.

The growth of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage In the two
directories that have been issued By
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis and
the one Ia preparation. The first tu-
beculosis directory published In 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Sccie-
ty and the National Association listed
1913 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptives in the United States, for
some Of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was
only 5000 beds. Thirty-two special
dispensaries and thirty-nine anti-tu-
berculosis organizations summed up
practically all of the fighting force
enumerated In the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
published under the auspices Of the
Russell Sage Foundation in August,
1908. This directory listed 240 sana-
toria and hospitals, an increase OF
LOT from the former directory; 158
dispensaries, an increase of 1875; and
1876 associations. an increase of 1856.
The number of hospital beds listed
In 1908 was 1904.
The new directory that will be is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with a bed capacity Of
nearly $4,000; more than 300 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
$50 anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number Of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
would like to get In touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis. In order that they may
be listed In the new directory.

ney was well fitted to deceive with a
plausible story, for he seemed candid
in manner and we'll equipped in every
way to impose upon the most incred-
ulous.
The officers of the secret service
all considered him a dangerous per-
son and none was anxious to encoun-
ter a man of such gigantic proportions
and apparently desperate character.
My first move against Quincy was
to send Mike Bower. a newly-fledged
government detective, to form his &C.
quaintance. Bower was selected be-
cause his appearance was anything
but that of a detective. Bower drifted
into Gurney's 'boozing-den" on East
Blocker street where, after lettering
around drinking and smoking for a
week or two, he one day called Cur
ney aside and told him he was broke
and must have a little money. He
drew from his inside pocket a gold
watch with short piece of chain
hanging from it, giving 1t the appear
ance of having been nipped from the
pOCh6L VI SOlhC uulOl ClllLcn.
Quincy snapped at the bait at once
and intimated, with sly wink, that
the watch had been stolen. When
Bower finally admitted as much Cur
ney seemed pleased and bought the
watch at about one-third its value,
remarking: You're all right, my
boy. When you want anything, come
to me-"
After a few days Bower again ap-
preached Quincy, this time with a
diamond stud that had been slipped
from its fastenings. II need some
more money" said Bower.
Quincy inspected the gem with an
appreciative eye. and finally said:
"You are a good one. Did you ever
handle any of the 'queer?"
81 took little hand in it once" re-
