McGRAW GETS IT IN THE NECK
AGAIN

1t will be remembered by all who
pay any attention to West Virginia
politics that in the ante convention
days of 1912 John T. McGraw was
the faithful and Influential friend of
Woodrow WilsonS True he could not
secure Wilson delegates against the
powerful influences of the watson
Chiffon combine and the allied In
'tsirests, but he did what at he could and
as member al, tbs National commit.
tee &as Of great service to Wilson.
7 was naturally, supposed that
Wilson would remember McGraw aft
or the election. We'll, lie does re-
memberlhis old friend but only TO al.
in his uhdoing.
The unkindest cut of all is in the
appointment of Jack" Wilkinson,
late of Grafton, now of Huntington,
as. Internal Revenue agent. No Of
ficers in the public service have such
opportunities to do political work as
these revenue officers. Wilkinson
will be required to travel all over the
state. It is well known that lie is
McGraw's most inveterate enemy.
Wilson SENS not only determined to
ignore McGraw, but to put men in
position in West Virginia who will
forever destroy him.
We have no interest in McGraw's
political future and say what. we
have said to indicate that in our
opinion Wilson is none too good to
throw down friend If occasion
seems to require IT in his our inter-
est. s.cl. :.

The President hopes that his
message will be the guiding inilu-
ence that will keep the scope OF ac-
tivity within well-deiined compass,
eliminating so far MS possible any
congestion of radical bills that
might be misinterpretcd by the out
side world.
The President is proceeding on
the theory that legislation Is ncccs-
sary at this time and that there
should be no delay In accomplishing
those reforms ON which public
sentiment is agreed. = r y fN''N

count of "a changGiin public senu-

supporters as evidence that the bust
ness world expects interlocking di-
rectorates to be dissolved.
Public Opinion Changed.
In this connection, Mr.. Wilson be-
lieves the Whole course of public
opinion has undergone u remarkable
change in the last few years. From
a point where doubt as to the ex-
istence of trusts was at first express
cd. through the period when reason
able and unreasonable combinations
in restraint of trade were debated.

an acceptance of the. principle that
private monopolies and indefensible
and that trusts practice certain

COLLEGE PLAYS
IMPORTANT GAME
Augustana Meets Bradley Poly
technic Quintet at Peoria
Saturday Night.

One of the most important basket
ball contests in the schedule of Au-
gustana college OF Rock Island, takes
place Saturday night at Peoria, when
the local quintet meets the fast Brad
ley Polytechnic school, last years
intercollegiate champions.
The Augustana five now has a per-
centage of 1000 for the state title, not
having lost conference game this
year in five played, and are on a
straight road to the championship for
1914 if they do not fall by the wayside
The boys expect to use their best line
up tomorrow against Bradley as the
Peoria team has expressed its inten-
ton of climbing toward the top. Brad
ley has won six out OF nine conference
games. but this record is not satisfac-
tory to the students and they have
been clamoring for a better standing
Therefore the Peorians have been
training and practicing hard for the
Saturday night game and the team ex-
poets to make a showing on the home
floor. Undoubtedly one of the largest
crowds of the season will turn out to
see this contest at Peoria as the en-
thusiasm is about as high in that city
as it is in the home town of the Au-
gustanianS.

er of the new organization. is one OF
the most popular men in Chicago to-
day. And the prominence he has won
through his connection with the new
Federal league has only served to add
to his popularity The story of his
business success reads like romance.
Ten years ago Weeghman was a new
arrival in Chicago. He had little
money, but he had wonderful faculty
for making friends and a we'll develop
ed determination to achieve whatever
he set out to do. At that time he was
working hard in a small restaurant
and saving every cent he could. He
finally was able to buy a part inter-
est in the restaurant he worked in
and later he was the entire owner. To-
day he owns big string of restau-
rants covering the greater part of the
city of Chicago aid his weekly income
is said to be something like a quarter
of a million dollars. He Wives in
fashionable residence on Lake Shore
drive, but is still the pal of those who
knew him in the early part of his
career.
Weeghman is quite a young man.
There is nothing about him that sug-
gests the purse proud money king.
To all outward appearances he is
merely an unusually well dressed
young man in his thirties with a most
cordial manner and a habit of making
fast friends. He is decently proud of
all he has done, but it has not made
him unapproachable. In Chicago they
say that anything Charlie" WEIGH
man undertakes is pretty apt to be
attended by success. And Weeghman
and his Feds are found to be pretty
popular in Chicago.
