ANACOSTIA d c MARCH

ANACOSllA, u. L., MAfCh "
An abundance of flowers for Easter is
predicted by Anacostia florists, who
are feeling the demand already for the
products of their hot houses. In the
hot house district in Anacostia, where
vast quantities of the flowers which
are sent to the city are raised, all is
activity. Flowers are being sent to
town by the wagon load to supply the
retail stores. and some shipments OF
lilies and other flowers are being made
to New York.
There is a shortage Of Easter lilies re-
ported from some of the florists, but
others report that they have more
lilies in their establishments than they
have not such a large stock Of Easter
lilies as they had last season, say they
have made up for the deficiency by
having more flowers Of other kinds on
hand.
One florist showed more than 1000
lilies within his establishment last
evening, and declared Easter flowers
will be plentiful, and that prices will
not vary from those Of last year. He
has disposed Of 1000 lilies already, he
said.
Lilac trees and geraniums have been
discarded almost this year. according to
the statement of one florist The for
mer has a limited market, and but little
attention has been maid to the latter as
far as forcing its growth Is concerned,
owing to the early arrival Of Easter.
In two weeks there will be a better sup
ply, The anxiety Of the florists to
keen their product at its present stage
of development without being affected
by temperature changes is keen just
now. as their stock has reached the
they would risk a large loss.
The Eastern Power Boat Club will give

now is I'm China and expects to return
here in two months.
Mr.. Mott is assistant general secretary
OF the International committee of the
Y. NJ. C. A, and has complete charge

July. 1911, when he made an address at

recognition of China by this Govern
ment is imminent. Following such
recognition, the relations of the two
governments probably will be very
close, and 1t is necessary that a highly
capable man represent this country at
Peking
Mission at London.
Gossip was revived at the White
House today regarding the appointment
of DR.. Charles Eliot, president emeritus
of Harvard, as ambassador to Great
Britain. He has practically eliminated
himself. however by stating that he
would not accept the post. Were Dr.
Eliot to indicate that he would like to
have the place, It is believed he would
receive It Otherwise the slate is wiped
clean and the job will go to some on
whose identity the President has not
yet revealed.
William +, McCombs is in Washing
ton today and it is possible that he
will say the final word about accepting
the post the President has pressed upon
him, the ambassadorial post in France
IL is highly probable that James w.

of New York, will be named as am
bassador to Italy to succeed Thomas }.

Is Former Pastor Here with
His Congregation at
Point Pleasant.

The Rev. j. NJ. Carter, OF Point
Pleasant, former popular pastor OF
St. PauPs Methodist Episcopal,
church. here, is visitor at the home
Mrs. Emeline Carr, of East Main
street. The Rev. Mr.. Carter was
recently returned by the annual con
ference to Point Pleasant and his
popularity there is attested by what
the State Gazette of that city said of
his last return as follows:
The Methodist Episcopal church,
South, conference at Huntington,
concluded It's session Tuesday and
among the most pleasing things
to Point Pleasant, returned Dr.. j..
M. Carter. The devotion OF the peo-
pie here to DR.. Carter is not con
fined to the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, congregation he
serves so faithfully, but all churches
are his friends and co-workers and
the now going church people love
him for his humanity, his broad cul-
ture Of head and heart and for his
sunshiney, cordial disposition. Dr..
Garter is fully supplemented by his
delightful family and it is hoped they
will decide to stay permanently at
Point Pleasant.

iaithful service OF which he IS capa-
BILE. and. on that record he is entitled
to the confidence and support OF ey-
cry voter who wants an honest,
straight forward and liberal Repub-
lican in the House OF Representa-
tiYes.
Most important OF all to the peo-
pie OF this district he stands for the
great Republican principle of pro-
lection, and unless he is elected to
the Congress Of the United States a
Democratic free trader win mis-rep-
resent this district. The tight in
this district is between j. G. Hearne
and Mansfield NJ. Nicely, a Demo-
Gratis representative of the free
trade doctrine, candidate who
bears the label OF the gold dust
twins. There are, OF course, other
candidates, but their votes will not
be sufficient to make them formid-
able factors. Their only influence
can be to draw from one or the other
OF the leading candidates. The real
fight is between j. G. Hearne, the
representative of the protection
idea, an earnest, liberal and ex-
perienced legislator, and NJ. NJ.
Nicely, representative of the free
trade idea, and a tool of the most
corrupt and the most infamous polit-
zeal combination ever existing in
this state. LET the intelligent and
thoughtful voters in this district
choose between them.

The First District Issue.


The Wheeling Intelligencer, noting
that the nomination of Julian g..
Hearne for Congress by the Republi-
cans OF the First Congressional dis
trict is being received with enthusi-
asm in every county Of the district,
accurately measures the situation by
setting forth the following as the
real issue in the campaign:
Mr. Hearne stands for the highest
ideals OF American citizenship.
He stands for Republican doctrine
and the national Republican organi-
cation.
He believes that in the Republican
party, the great organization which
has written upon the statute books
of our federal and state governments
every line of liberal legislation that
appears thereon. he and every other
progressive and liberal citizen can
find ample room for the development
of every theory of government nee
essary for the welfare of the people.
What Mr.. Hearne's Republicanism is
can best be learned from his own
record.
He has served the people of Ohio
county and the the First Senatorial
District in the House of Delegates
and in the State Senate for eighG
years. He has been a faithful and
earnest and progressive public
servant. His vote and his influence
have contributed to the passage of
every piece of good legislation en-
acted by the West Virginia legisla-
tue since 1904.
He was a consistent supporter of
the tax reform laws.
He helped to pass the uniform ac-
counting law.
He voted for the worlman's COM
pensation act.
He voted for the public utilities
commission.
He voted for the good roads law.
He voted for the income tax
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton.
He voted for the primary election
law, and he voted for the amend
ment requiring the election of United
States senators by direct party
vote.
What stronger evidence of pro
gressive and liberal tendencies can
be asked than are to be found in
such record?
In his services in our state legis-
lature ]. C. Hearne has faithfully
and truly represented his constitu-
ents. He has no master except the
will OF the people who elected him.
He has given the bent and most
