SENATOR SCOTT ON CONDITIONS.

The San francisco Chronicle of
March 10 contained an interesting in.
Eerview with the Hon. N. B. Scott. the
we'll known glass man of Wheeling
and Washington, who has been visit
Ing in California. The interview is as
follows:
Most of the industries have been
Frustrated by the Underwood tariff
law, enacted by the Democratic ma
ttona1 administration, and there is
no hope for them SO long as the pres
ent tariff schedule prevails. The
country will need q protective tariff
more urgently after the end of the
European war than it has aver be-
lore
The above was the statement made
fiji this city by Nathan B. Scott, of
West Virginia, member of the United
States Senate from 1899 to 1911. Sen
htor Scott, accompanied by Mrs.
Scott, arrived at the Palace Hotel
yesterday, after a six weeks stay in
the south. He will remain here two
prthree weeks to see b exposition.
THE people Of the eastern states
Rre anxious for another chance to
vote in a national election he said,
referring to the industrial inc politi-
caf situation in the east, land the
treat majority will vote only one way
ITO restore the national government
10 men pledged to the traditional
principles Of the Republican party.
There is no other hope for the
country. The Democratic party car
not possibly work itself out of the
hole the Underwood tariff has placed
It IN. The deficits will increase con-
tinpally; and the only relief will be
10 increase the tax on domestic in
comes. Time will call a halt on that
policy.
American Industries will need a
protective tariff after the close of the
European war more than ever. The
people OF the belligerent nations will
experience hard times for a long time
after the war, and they will all have
no work hard to keep body and soul
kogether. The consequence will be
cheap labor in Europe and the man
Mcclure of articles for export to
America cheaply. The free or cheap
entry OF foreign-made goods was
threatening enough before the war;
IT will be fatal to American manufac-
lures after the war.
What is going to be done to avoid
positive disaster is the question the
American voters will have to decide.
they do not have to wait longer to
zee that the Democratic policies hold
no relief.-Glass and Pottery Sales

Cardinal Won Hartmann.

Cardinal F. Won Hartmann, the
militant Catholic archbishop of Colo
gne. and one of the most warlike
of Teuton c~hurchmen, is 63 years of
age and was elevated to the Sacred
college last year. He Is n of two
Germans who now wear the red a
OF the Roman cardinalate, the other
being Cardinal Won Bettinger, arch
bishop of Munich, who was also ap-
pointed to the Sacred college in 1914.
Cardinal Won Hartmann has been of
great service to the Kaiser in arous-
ing and sustaining the military order,
of the Catholics OF the Empire. He
has delivered frequent addresses call
ing Dol Teuton Catholics to loyalty
support the Empire. God will not
permit atheistic France and orthodox
Russia and infidel England to crush
the fiourishing religious life in the
fatherland," he recently declared.
"Trust, therefore, in our just cause,
our brave troops, and the noble en-
peror, who Is adorned with all the
virtues of his Hohenzollern fore
fathers. Trust above all in the Ruler
of battles to whom we faithfully and
continually pray" Cardinal o
Hartmann has headed several move
ments to assist the troops at the front,
and he3 issued a pastoral letter call
ing upon the children or his diocese
to collect money for the cause, for
the kaiser requires much gold for the
war" This year the Catholic chill
dren in the diocese OF the Cardinal
dispensed with confirmation clothing
at Easter, acting on the churchman's
suggestion, and the money which
would have been spent on new suits
for the boys and white dresses for
the girls was turned into the war
fund. While Germany has only two
representatives in the college Of car
dinals, the empire of Franz Josef has
six cardinals, and all have manifested
a decidedly militaristic spirit in the
present conflict.

TODAY WE CELEBRATE.
Black First Worn as Mourning by
French Queen All Years Ago.
p
o

The proposal recently made in Eng
land that white instead of black be
worn in memory of its soldier dead
appeals to the modern mind as a
startling innovation, yet as a matter
of fact it is but a revival Of an old
custom. White was the accepted
mourning color of the greater part Of
Europe, as 1t has always been OF
China, until the latter part OF the
fifteenth century.
The distinction of having first worn
ablack to express grief belongs to
Queen Anne of Brittany, h spouse
OF two successive monarchs of France.
It was AIT years ago today, April q.
1892. that her first husband. King
Charles VIII. of France. Joined the
great majoriey. and his widow set all
the tongues OF France a-wagglne by
appearing in public clad entirely in
black, instead of the conventional
white usually worn by bereaved
widows. After the first excitement
had died down, however. It was gener-
ally agreed that Queen Anne had
shown good taste. inasmuch as black
Is more sedate and melancholy, and
SO more expressive of grief. than
white. The innovation of Queen Anne
was taken up by all the court, and
oon spread among the people. and
from France to other lands. until in
the course OLA century black had
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-04-07

supplanted white as the color express
sive OF mourning throughout the
civilized world. About the only ex-
ception is Turkey, which may or may
not be called civilized, where violet
is the mourning color.
Besides being the inventor of the
modern mourning costume, Anne of
Brittany had the distinction of being
the wife of two kings, Charles VIII,
the Affable. and Louis XII, called the
father of his people"
Queen Anne's grief for her first
husband, which she expressed by
wearing black, could not have been
very deep, for she was an intelligent
and charming woman, while her hus-
band, although he merited the title Of
"the Atfable," had little else to COM
mend him. He a feeble in mind.
as well as body, and, inheriting the
French throne when a child of 10,
was dominated by his shrewd elder
sister, Anne of Beauteau. The latter
as regent defeated Brittany, the Duke
OF Orleans and the Archduke Maxi
milan, who aad entered into an alli-
the mad war;" In order to insure
peace with the formidable fief of
Brittany, the regent married her
weakling brother to Anne, the heiress
to the throne of Brittany, and thus
paved the way for a union with
France.
Charles VIII. at last resented the
guardianship OF his sister and his
wife, and, entering upon several mad
ventures, lost territory on theree
frontiers which was recovered for
France only after the lapse of nearly
two centuries. In Rome Charles had
himself crowned King of Naples, en-
peror Of the East, and King of Jerusa-
lem, but was soon defeated and driven
from Italy. His death on April z,
149S, was hailed with relief by his
subjects. He was succeeded by his
cousin, as Louis XII, and the new
king soon persuaded Queen Anne to
discard her mourning costume of
black and don nuptial robes. Louis
married the widow of his predecessor
principally to~ continue the alliance
with Brittany and to prevent her from
carrying her country to another house.
Louis XII, by his domestic admins
tration, the establishment of parlia-
ments, the encouragement Of agricul-
ture and trade, and the prohibition of
pillage and rapine by the soldiery,
won the title of the Father of His
Country"
