tnY AsseelArEp pnEns1

: WASHINGTON Sept. 30-Tariffs
of railroads in the middle West and
East proposing increases seven and
eight cents per hundred pounds on
iron and steel articles from Pitts
burg, Chicago and other points to
the Atlantic seaboard and the gulf
ports for. export were suspended Fri
day by the Interstate Commerce Com
sion until January 20 pending inves-
tigation.
The suspended tariffs would affect
large volume of the shipments TO
European belligerents.
The proposed increases have been
vigorously fought by shippers who
contended they were without justifi-
cation and an attempt by the carriers
to take some of the profits of the iron
and steel business. One company es-
timated that its loss under outstand-
ing contracts, If the advances became
effective, would be 100000. The
railroads claimed that they had made
a one-third reduction in the past in
iron and steel rates to enable manu-
facturers to reach out for foreign
business and that the roads are now

SUTHERLAND NOW
QUITE OPTIMISTIC
Of Republican Success in This
State at the November
Election.
WA uJNcroE

WASHINGTON, Sept. SO.-Con-
gressman-at-Large Howard Suther-
and arrived In Washington this week
and will spend two or three days here
looking after the interests az his CON
sttuents and planning the routine
OF his office so that nothing viii be
overlooked while he Is away from Tho
city. Mr.. Sutherland feels extremely
optimistic over the situation in West
virginia as regards the prospects of
the Republican party in the November
election. Nor is his optimism with
out justification, particularly as re-
CARDS his own chances of winning the
election as United States senator. The
national officials have West Virginia
in the sure" column when II comes
TO the senatorial election. So far au-
thorities unite in putting FIVE states
In that column-one. that or Maine
already is captured-and with II New
York, New Jersey. Ohio and West Eir-
ginia, are considered absolutely
safe
Mr.. Sutherland accompanied Sena-
tor Borah through the state on his
recent visit and spoke at the three
meetings held at Falrmont, Morgan
town and Wheeling. He was with
Judge Robinson Mt Moundsville last
week and then went to Huntington,
where the fall festival was in prog
ress. He is very sanguine and feels
that the success of the party IL as
sured, not only in the state but in the
national election,
Primary results" said Mr.. Suth-
erland, speaking OF the national sit
uation. properly analysed, invaria-
bly, shed a good deal Of light on polit-
ical conditions that affect elections.
There is only one conclusion to he
drawn from primary results in gen
eral, in the period since the national
conventions. That Is, that the Re-
publicans are substantially reunited
and determined, while the Democrats
are not.
One Of the best indications that
they are not, and that, too, in the
presidents own state, is the nomi-
nation of Senator MARITIME. Six years
ago Wilson, as governor, forced the
party to accept MARITIME. even II II
didn't like the idea, But Mr.. Wilson
as president. was not so potent in
authority. In spite Of the fact that
he gave his support to Judge Wescott
as against Senator MARITIME, the state
Democracy, though no prouder Of
MARITIME than ever seized the oppor-
tunlty to indicate Its independence
of presidential control All indica-
lions point to the fact that the dlvis-
ion In the Democratic party IL today
approximately the same that prevail
ed in the Republican party four years
agL. Then there WAS Taft and a
Roosevelt faction. Today.there is a
Wilson and an antt-Wilson element Of
Democrats, and wherever they get the
chance the anti-wilson Democrats
give Just such n demonstration of
their ability to nout their present
leader as In the New Jersey election"

DR.. Jones has been on the lecture
platform for some time, having lee
tured many times on the Passion
play and other subjects at chautau-
Quas and similar gatherings.
Those who know DR.. Jones inti-
mately think of her not as lectur-
er or as magnetic leader in big
cause, but as a home woman, the
mother Of two beautiful daughters,
and a charming hostess over a home
where many distinguished persons
have been entertained.
Born on farm and having receiv-
ed her very early education in the
district school. DR.. Jones is thorough
ly conyersant with the problems that
confront the farm man and woman
and the residents OF small commul-
ties.
1t was while student at Lombard
College that DR.. Jones met, as a
classmate, B. w. Jones, to whom she
was married as soon as they were
graduated. AT his death. some
eighteen years ago, DR.. Jones as
sumed the responsibility OF keeping
the home and raising their two very
interesting daughters. She is loved
and admired for her sterling qualities
by all who know her.

The Pennsylvania railroad claimed

that 1t has to enlarge its terminal ia

Agriculture In England.

The British agricultural returns jus,
published, show IL decrease of $1,000
acres in the total cultivated area of the
United Kingdom, representing money
loss to the country Of at least u quarter
of !. million sterling per an,num, unlesf
recovered in approaching years. The
chief cause of this step backward to-
ward barbarism seems to be the way in
which fenced meadow land has been
left to become, technically, ''unculti'
vated,' by reason of the fences, on be-
ing broken down or becoming rotten,
not being renewed. TO how pitiable
oil exhaustion Of agricultural capital
this points we need hardly say. Other
liscouraging features are decline in
the number of mich COWS. cousidcrac
bic decrease in ,corn-growing, soma
partial abandonment even of root
crops and steadily increasing depend"
ence on the mere grazing farming OF
poor and backward estates. The in
creased acreage devoted to fruit-grow.
ing, especially bush fruit, is a good
sign; so also is an increase in tee num-
