Special From a STAFF Correspondent.

WHEELING, W. Va, October %
Any man who votes to send Representa-
tive John W. Davis back to the House
of Representatives is voting to throw
himself out of a job
That is the argument the republican
workingmen in this thriving and populous
first congressional district of West Vir-
ginia are putting up to their fellows who
nave leaningS toward the democratic con-
gresSional candidate. This country would
go to smash in few days if the tariff on
tin plate, steel and iron should be low
cred. and Representative Davis is looked
upon IN this country as a free trader.
Against him is rich and influential re-
publican, George Laughlin, strong pro-
tectiOnist 1t is believed in Wheeling at
this writing that Laughlin will beat
Davis.
Prosperity is being used as a republican
object lesson all through the Ohio val
ley, and in Ohio county, of which Wheel
ing is the seat. there are $500 jobs open
to men who will apply to the steel mills.
There is every indication in this end
of the state, too, that the democrats
don't care much whether not they send
six representatives to Congress if they
succeed In sending United States sena-
tor, and although democrats over here
hate the name of Clarence Watson they
fear the influence of his money will make
ii easy for him to take his seat in the
Senate chamber again.

One of These Homes Was Built for YOU

THIS Photographic. reproduc-
ton of the parlor of one
of our Columbia Heights
homes is taken just inside the
archway that separates the parlor
from the hall. To the right is
another archway leading to the
dining room, and you are looking
directly toward the beautiful art
mantel and bookcase.
Each of the other six rooms and
bath is equally as fine. Here is a
home perfect in every detail, in
Guiding the little features that one
often overlooks.

Rows Create Ill Feeling.

But local rows have made ill feeling
and the democratic press agents have
seized on these rows to advertise a split
among the republicans" and to inject
further hope of sending a democratic sem
atOr to Washington. For instance. a
democratic paper carries this announce
ment:
Bull moosers should bear in mind that
a vote for George y. Laughlin for Con-
gress Is a vote for a man who is trying
to defeat Theodore Roosevelt for Presi-
dent"
If this sort of wild-fire spreads there
will be an explosion in the progressive
ranks which will make matters even
more complicated than they are now
Democratic press agents are also sending
out to their own papers and to progress
sive sheets sta tements to the effect that
Dr. Hatfield. candidate for governor on
the republican ticket. is not worthy of
bull moose support. These tactics are
reSorted to by the democrats to split up
the situation and make il easy to carry
the state for the democrats and to send
democrat to the Senate. f. G.

THE time is growing limited
when we will be able to Of
fer you one of these I4tll
and Perry street homes, for the
simple reason that there will soon
be no more homes here to sell.
This means not only no more OF
the homes that we are selling, but
no more homes at all, for the sale
of the last one of these homes will
mean your last opportunity to
buy in this immediate locality
and you know the character OF
this section of the city. Columbia
Heights is one of Washington
show places in a residential way,
and 18th and Perry streets is close
I to fashionable Park ROAD part
Of the Park road section. The
18th street car line affords the
best transportation service en-
Joyed by any section of the city
the cars are the best and the
schedule is exceptional.
An inspection will impress you
with the distinctive difference of
these homes. The front and rear
lawns are larger than the average
lawn of such home. The floors
are hardwood upstairs, as we'll as
downstairs, instead of only on the
lower floor. There are two fire
places Zone in the parlor and the
other in the dining room), instead
OF but one fireplace. There are
tour porches. instead of one porch.
And so it is throughout the entire
house, inside and outside.
5000 is all the cash required.
The balance may be paid in
monthly installmnts of S38, on
exactly the same basis as you are
now paying rent-only these $38
payments are buying your home,
instead of rent receipts.
TO INSPECT-Take any 18th
street car going northwest. GET
off at 14th and Perry streets, and
you are right at the properties.

Why They Are Wanted.

The health service wants monkeys for
use at the hygienic laboratory, where ex-
periments are being conducted in the
study of measles. The service surgeons
have proven by experiments that this
disease can be carried by the common
house fly, several monkeys having been
used for this purpose. Their supply is
now exhausted and no further expert
ments can be made until other monkeys
can be purchased. 1t is probable that
within the next few months the public
health service will need as many as tlir-
ty of these animals for experimental rur-
poses.
Guinea pigs are wanted in connection
with the study of bubonic plague and
other diseases. The service is anxious
to ship number of them to Porto Rico,
but so far has been unable to gather
together sufficient number to warrant

FOR LARGER MEMBERSHIP
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Probably to Be Started sOon--Bris-
tow and Rees Reply.

An enthusiastic and I interesting
session of the Commercial club was
held last night. President Sterl pre-
sided.
It was suggested that campaign
be started to increase the member
ship of the club and the suggestion
met the approval Of those present.
The plan presented and discussed
was to appoint several committees
and give each committee a list of
names Of the businessmen not mem-
beers and have each committee see
the list of persons assigned 1t and
have them take out membership
cards. The plan will be taken up
by the club in the near future and
a special meeting will probably be
called for that purpose, The COM
mercial club now has lao members
and during the campaign the mem-
bership is to be increased at least
100.
Brlstow and Rees Reply.
Sometime ago petitions signed by
60 of Abilene's leading businessmen
were sent to Senator Bristow and
Representative = Rees protesting
against the passage of the parcels
post. Mr.. Bristow and Mr.. Rees
have both replied.
Senator Bristow's letter:
Il have your favor of January
18th, transmitting petition Of citi-
zens of Abilene, protesting against
the passage OF the parcels post, and
shall take pleasure in presenting 1t
in the senate. 1t seems to me that
parcels post based upon the zone
system would not be detrimental to
the country merchant, and the rural
parcels post ought to be advantag-
eous to him. II will enable him to-
send merchandise out on the rural
routes to his customers, and enable
them to order by mail, thereby Civ
ing them an opportunity to supply
their pressing needs during bad wea-
Their, when 1t is not convenient to
come to town, and also giving the
merchant an opportunity to do a lit
tie additional business during that
time.
II do not believe 1t is Just to
charge the same for transporting a
package from New York to San
Francisco as for transporting from
Abilene to Junction City. But If the
basis Of charges should be on dis
lance transported, giving the local
merchants a cheaper rate to reach
their own customers than is given
the distant merchants in the large
cities, 1t seems to me It will amply
protect the country merchant; and
that is the only kind Of a parcels
post that would feel justified in
favoring."
