MIR. SCOTS RETIREMENT

The withdrawal of former Senator
n B. Scott from active participation
in the direction Of the affairs Of the
Central Glass Company. through his
resignation as president Of that cor
poration. recalls the years when he
was a virfle spirit in the industrial
progress Of Wheeling. By his remoV-
al to Washington and the large bank
ing interests engaging his attention.
Senator SCOTS connection with the
Central Glass works for some time
past has been mainly OF a sentimental
character, and the severance OF his
Official relations with the Wheeling
CORPORATION carries no Significance
With It, except the obvious business
wisdom OF the decision Of Mr.. Scott.
The constructive part that Senator
Scott played in the industrial devel-
opment Of this community cannot be
forgotten. and though he has been
called to larger field OF activity he
still holds the warm friendships he
made here and which he reciprocates
with an uafailing loyalty and an I'M
Quenchab!e interest in and fealty to
good old Wheeling"

SHOULD PAY TRIBUTE

There is seldom much profit in look
Ing back on the past. nevertheless we
gain some lessons from neglected OPP
portunities that are not wholly lost
in pointing. out the recouping OF the
future. The American Economist re-
calls very suggestive paragraph
from the speech Of Representative
Sloan OF Nebraska, delivered on the
floor OF the House Of Representatives
during the debate on the war revenue
bill. in which he said:
We could just as we'll have during
rho last three years raised nearly 81. 900
900 600 additional revenue for this Gov
erunrnt # We had said 10 the foreigner
Who desired TO enter our ports with his
products When you bring something 10
American shores lie, it bow 20 the Amer
lean flag and pay tribute to the United
States treasury"
This is a very forcible presentation
of the protective tariff policy. which
was superseded by the Democratic
free trade makeshift, enacted under
the .guise Of tariff for revenue only.
Mr.. Sloan's statement as to tho entire
practicability Of raising nearly bill
ion dollars more OF revenue in the past
three years. if protective duties had
been imposed. instead of the low du-
ties and no duties OF the Underwood
tree-trade tariff. called forth PRO
longed applause on the Republican
side" according to the report IN the
Congressional Record. We should
think it would.
The wonder is that the free-trade
majority have so persistently refused
to restore the policy of saying to for
eigners: when you bring something
to American shores let it bow to the
American flag and pay tribute to the
United States treasury" That is a
doctrine which no unprejudic|,d mind
could fail to approve. 1t is good pro
lection doctrine

Another type Of mosquito is known

secure In the knowledge of his strength.
Although he was unusually taelturn
and rode with his chin upon his breast,
she attributed his silence to fatigue.
Now and then, therefore. she spurred
to his side and spoke softly, caressing.

hand and chung to II.

A Near Calamity.

Little Mary was being initiated into
the wonders of the Pullman car. She
and her mother left the city early In
the evening, each occupying big cush-
Toned seat In the car. Mary wished
to know at once where they were to
sleep, and after five minutes explana-
ton by her mother she realized that
they we're to sleep In bed, made over
their two seats, which would be COM
pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
At the next stop man entered the
car and Mary was forced to give up
her individual seat to him. He had
reserved the upper berth, which she
did not know. The giving up Of the
seat was for time enough food for
thought. but she finally burst out with
this question:
Mamma, II we sleep here, and all
those other people sleep where they
are sitting, where Is that man going
to sleepf"
THAT man." and the rest In the car
laughed. The explanation process be-
gan all over again.
