the city of T, C. Hossler of New York,
chairman of the board OF the Columbia
Gas and Electric Company, and w. Y.

stated that they came here to confer
with the officials OF. the Consolidated

pany concerning the sale OF natural
gas to the local concern.
The natural gas people are repre-.
sented here by Francis X. Carey, who
some time ago conferred with Mayor
Preston on the subject. The Columbia
people control large tracts of natural
gas territory in West Virginia, and
propose to bring. gas here through a
pipe line. the rights Of way for which
have already been secured.
The introduction OF natural gas
through any other than the company
now operating in this city Is recogniz.

companies can get ettogether.

Rails at Kind of Democrats
Found attheI Manhattan
Club.
THEY Worship IMAMMON
Incidentally Takes Crack at
Once Popular Roosevelt
Big Stick Doctrine

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Formsr
Secretary Bryan came out sauareiy
against President Wilson'S national
defense plan today in a aSformai state.
ment In which he took issue with the
Presidents views as expressed last
night before the Manhattan Club 10
New York.
"a departure from our traditions;
n reversal OF our national policy; d
menace to our peace and safety and q
challenge to the spirit OF Christianity
which teaches us to influence others
by example rather than by exciting
fear is Mr.. Bryan's view of nationni
defense plan. The statement says:
"The President says that we should
be prepared not for aggression, but
for defense: that Is ground upon
which all preparation Is made. What
nation has ever prepared for war on
the theory that Il was preparing for
aggression? -
"1t is only fair 10 assume that the
European rulers who are involved In
the present war thought they were
contributing toward the maintenance
of peace when they were making
elaborate preparations for defense. Il
us false philosophy, and being false, II
inevitably leads to difficulties.
THE spirit that makes the individ.
ual carry q revolver, and who never
carries a revolver except for defense,
leads him not only to use for
slight proyocations but to use Language
which proyokes trouble. Speak softly
but carry big stick. Is one Of the de-
lusiye maxims employed by those who
put their faith i'm force. There are
two answers to 1t, first, the man who
speaks softly has mot the disposition
to carry a club and II q man with o
soft voice is persuaded to carry a club
his voice changes soon as be begins
to rely on the club"
In concluding Mr.. Bryan says:
There has not been a time In so years
when there was less reason To add to
the expenses Of the army and navy.
for we are not only without an enemy
but our preparedness ifs increasing rel
atively as other nations exhaust them.
selves, and there never has been 0
time In our whole history when our
duty to the world more imperatiyely
demanded self restraint and councils
oflpeace.
AZ. hope the President will not be
deceived by the atmosphere Of the
Manhattan club, That IS the one place
in the United States where the Nam
mon-worshiping portion OF the Demo
cratic party meets to exchange COM
pliments. There Is no group farther
removed from the sentiment OF the
masses III you measure that sentiment
from economics, social or religious
standards"

ANOTHER
MISREPRESENTATION

The Fairmont Times this morn.
ing, following its policy Of "ham..
mering" continually instead of
Saving wood,r devotes a consider.
able amount Of Its editorial column
to bitter attack on L. M. Davis.
former editor OF The West Virgin
ian, and now manager OF the Char.
lesion Post, on account of an ar
ticle recently published in the Post.
While The West virginian holds
no brief for Mr.. Davis on account
OF the publication Of the article, al
though the story was published In.
the Clarksburg Telegram, Parkers.i
burg News and other reliable. pa
pers, 1t does take serious exception
to the statements made In the edi.
torial rejecting on the owners OF
The West yirginian.
Mr.. Davis while editor OF The
West Nirginian did not resort to
lying.
As a matter Of fact considerable
space In The West ,Eirginian has al.
ways had TO be used to correct dis
tortions ofnews as published In the
Times.
The West virginian makes every
effort to publish only clean and au-
thoritiye news. In fact there is
no paper In the state where such
care is used along this line. and
this fact will be testified to by any
OF The West Virglnians thousands
OF readers. The success obtained
by The West Yirginian In keeping
its columns free from personal at
tacks and inspired" outbreaks
such as appeared In The Times
this morning Is most creditable.
The owners of The West ylrginian
have made consistent and sue.
cessful effort to print a clean news.
paper through and through, and
this is more than can be said Of
The Times.
Our Democratic nelghbor has
spent SO many years In filling It's
columns with personal abuse and
misrepresentation OF facts that the
disease, and We call It correctly,
has become chronic and incurable,
SO 1t seems.
Let those who live In glass
houses be very careful where they
throw stones. /.
