VICTORY
For His Party isaSeen by Mr..
Sutherland Running
for Congress.

WHEELING, Aug. Ex-senator
Howard Sutherland, of Elkins, Re-
publican candidate for congressman
at-large, was a prominent visitor in
the city yesterday coming here for
the purpose of delivering an address
at the Business Mems Convention.
When Seen at the Mcclure last even
ing Mr.. Sutherland spoke optl-
unsteady of the political outlook for
a Republican victory this fall and took
occasion to state that indications
pointed to the C. o. P.'s putting the
entire state ticket through. His views
are best told in his own words, as
follows:
Political conditions throughout
the state now point strongly toward
Republican success, particularly with
reference to the state, congressional.
legislative and local tickets. The
members of the party who differ in re-
gard to the national ticket appear to
have agreed TO not disagree, and will
allow no disturbing issue to be raised.
They are unit in support of DR..
Hatfield and the entire state ticket
and their election seems assured.
There is every prospect, also, that
West Virginia Republicans will send
six congressman to the next Con
gress instead of one and in addition,
United States senator to succeed
Senator Watson.
q am here really on non-polltlcal
mission, having been invited to at
tend the banquet of the Retail Mer-
chants Association of Wst Virginia
and make talk. 1t is pleasure to
have an opportunity to meet with
this splendid organization, which is
doing SO much to better the condition
Of business in West Virginia"

GREATER CROPS
IN THE COUNTRY

reported are fed to the animals on
the farms and reported later as live
stock products. 1t is impossible to
ASCERTAIN accurately the amount OF
such duplication, and the attempt to
do SO, which was made at the Twelfth
Census, was not considered satisfac-
tory. For this reason the relative
importance. of crops as a factor in
the agricultural production OF the
United States can not be determined
precisely.
Increase in Prices.
A large part of the extraordinary
increase. in the total value of farm
crops between 1899 and 1903 is attri-
butabie to higher prices. This might
be Inferred from the fact that, while
Che acreage of crops with acreage re-
ports increased only 80 per cent, the
value OF such crops increased eighty
two per cent 1t also appears by
comparing the percentages OF increase
In the quantity of the various indi-
yit.,iaf crops with the percentages Of
increase in the value Thus, for all
cereals taken together, the production
tncrased only III per cent while thu
value increased 1913 per cent; for hay
and forage the production increased
twenty-three per cent and the value
7O,2 per cent; and for cotton (not
counting cotton seed) the production
increased III per cent and the value
117.S per cent.
For the individual crops for which
both quantity produced and value
were reported at both censuses, the
average value per unit in 1899 was
computed and this was multiplied in.
to the quantity produced in 1909, thus
showing the total value which would
have been reported for each crop in
1909 If the acreage value per unit had
been the same as ten years earlier.
For certain crops. the values were
not reported separately in 1899, and
for certain other crops quantities
were not reported at either census,

ing houses and hotels. known either
as the M:l's hotels or as hotels pat
termed after the Mills plan. The
idea in these Is the provision for
working men and the lower classes
to secure for reasonable sum a
clean, sanitary place to sleep and to
eat, with as little temptation and as
little evil influence as is possible
These are doing in themselves much
good to the great army of working

and for their families. The bureau
is not run for the sake of COM

A man is very susceptible to
moral and spiritual influence when
you provide him with a good place
to sleep and meals which can be
obtained at nominal price and Sc
cure him employment; these create
within him feeling of obligation
and appreciation and gratitude.
which makes him susceptible to
good will and religious counsel.
THIS department OF the Sal
walton Army service has be-
come very tangible and
a concrete example of social service
and is a striking example OF the
evanGelistic today, of faith and good
work together.
1t is useless to preach to man
whose frst and greatest need is a
square meal or some raiment to pro-
tect him from the elements, and
medical attention to conserve his
physical welfare. These first gain
his confidence and his good will, and
then opens channel OF influence for
the personal worker.
In nearly every large city
throughout the country where there
is corps stationed, may be found
the industrial department fully de-
veloped with its wagons going
around the city gathering up sani-
tary supplies and distributing to
needy families and worthy ones, the
necessities which go to make up
their physical comfort or family well

1t is a we'll established fact that
often a man s heart is reached
through his stomach, aud in keep
ing with this thought the army has
achieved much success by employing
some very practical methods.

ability. This is a square proposition.
Just go with the crowd you are
willing to trust.
Therei:a crowd of them for you
to follow. The man who can teach,
the man who will not give ' ou
drink, the man in whose company
your mother, sister, sweetheart,
money, are all safe. Now, just bury
all the speeches you heard, for to
my certain knowledge much that
was said had little or nothing to
do with the question las to who
would be the best man. They took
your farming interest, your work
shop, your poverty, the railroad,
whiskey, the mistakes of the other
man, the good old negro that helps
on the farm and all of the other
foolish things, and they used these
things, together with your prejudice,
to crawl into office. They talked ell.
oquently of the dead, praised the
county in which you live, reverted
to the days of Hampton, called you
by pretty names and fattered your
conceit, they did all things for a
purpose. Some of them did not do
this. / do not condemn them for it.
I do saw that it had nothing to do
with question in hand. You might
have enjoyed the speeches and you
could look into the faces of those
men and distinguish the pure from
the vulgar. But should you be un-
decided let the speeches alone; bury
them into forgetfulness, and take
the advice of the men in whom you
trust your all. Voting is solemn
duty and fearful responsibility.
No country can find eternal peace
and comfort where the vote Of Jr-
das Iscariot is as good as the vote
of the Saviour of mankind. Then
vote for heaven, for family, for
country, for righteousness and
truth. You cannot waste your vote
when cast for a good man. There
were some fine men in that compa-
ny, and we could easily spot them.
Truth does not need mask to COW
er its face.

many Of our people have entertained
friends in their homes. and our peo-
pie are constantly visiting others.
Our friends are very helpful and
the journey Of life would be lonely
and hard without them, but even
friendship can be abused and push
ed into idolatry. Some of the great
est battles of the human heart are
fought out III the arena of human
friendship. We do not delight in
thinking of the fact that majority
of supposed friends are not friends
when tested, but the few who are
true are Of inestimable value to us.
Yet we should never lose sight of
the fact that there is a friend that
