WESTERN OPINION
HOSTILE TO EAST
John Barrett Writes Letter to Harding
Telling of Sentiment He
Found In West

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il-John Bar
rett, who has returned to Washington
from a three weeks tour of the Cen
trail West, wrote letter yesterday to
President Harding telling him that
nearly everywhere he went he found
widespread feeling in the West against
The East z
Without expressing any opinion of
my own, said MIR. barrett last night,
- but simply reporting what came re-
peatedlY TO my attention from being in
contact with representative leaders of
public opinion III the Central West, |
indulge in no eXaggeratiOn when | state
as Il truth that | found nearly every
where, more than | have ever known
before, an almost organized and mani-
nous feeling against the East, which
centeTed itself upon Washington as the
headquarters OF national legislation,
and upon New \ Ork as the headquarters
of national financing. 1t is SO serious
that / have called it to the attention of
the President in a letter.
Its inspiration seems to come from
two fundamental considerations. One Is
the intense depression IN agricultural
and farming interests, which are the
main resource of the Central West. And
the other Is the opposition of New York
city and state and surrounding section
TO the proposed Great Lakes-St. Law
renee deep waterway project, upon
which Illinois and the nearby states of
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Indiana and
Michigan have set their hearts, with ra-
dating and supporting sympathy in the
DakOtas, Iowa. Nebraska and Missouri.
All this has such an important bear
ing on New York city's welfare and on
national legislation, cooperation and
prosperity, when the country should
work together instead of having its best
interests handicapped by sectional diff
.ferences, that it should receive the i'm
mediate and careful attention of the
leaders of finance and legislation of both
East and West as well as of the admin
istration.'
Mr. Barrett said his trip to the Cen
tions of commercial. educational. labor
farmer and women : organizations for
discussion of the arms conference and
other international questions.

them. The Greenfield second team started
the game. but were given the hook after
the first seven minutes of play. As far

strong only on football tactics.

in the first two minutes of play, when
Fosmire got the first basket of the game
Cakes. however, got the next two, putting
the locals in the lead. Fosmire tied 1t up
with one for Greenfield, but Cakes got
another one. and put the Athletics back

making the final score for the period to

There were JUST seven points made IN

Battle Of DraneSvile
Today Will Be the Annivers-
airy of That Civil War
Conflict.

Dranesvil!c, Va, was tho scene on De-
cemher 90, 1861. Of the first victory OF

It happened the Same morning that
Gen. J. T.. II. Stuart started from the
Confederate lines at Centerville with q
brigade Of infantry. $50 cavalry. four
guns and about 400 wagons. to gather
hay near Dranesv!llc. He was so en-
gagged when he heard that Ord was APP
preaching. Fearing for the safety OF
his train. and believing that the only
way TO save 1t was to attack Ord. he
advanced for that purpose, at the same
time ordering his wagons back to
Centcrville. Stuart attacked with great
impetuoslty, and after a severe fight OF
two hours was defeated and rctreated
TO Centerville. his loss being 1856 in

A BIT OF HISTORY

Once in Q while we come across a
bit Of history that Il worth recording
before all Of the actors therein have
passed away. The lnteligencer hap
pened, in the last few days, to see a
short letter relating an incident Of
, special interest to many people in
Wheeling. 1t indicates the very high
position in the counsels Of the Repub-
: lican party and national organization
!, held by former United States Senator
N. B. Scott Of this city, and the conf
dence repossd in him by his associates
even before hs became =. United
= States senator.
Here Is the letter:
In 1897, q few days after William
Mckinley had taken the oath Of office
~ President Of the United States,
Hon. Mark Hanna telegraphed Mr..
Scott, who was then In Wheeling, to
come back to Washington at once on
IN important matter. Mr.. Scott had
= been at Washington attending the in
, auguration. He returned to Washing
: ton the next day. went up TO the Ar.
hngton hotel and met Mr.. Hanna. The
latter informed Mr.. Scott that Cor.
nelius Bliss, Secretary Of the Interior.
= desired to see him and that he and MIR.
Bliss and Mr.. Hanna would shortly
, call upon tho President. Mr.. Bliss was
1 then at breakfast. He came out, few
: remarks were passed and Mr.. Bliss
asked Mr.. Scott to 80 over with him
to the White House. They called upon
. President Mckinley, who knew all OF
+, them personally and intimately, and
after the usual greetings President
Mckinley said:
well. Scotty, We sent for you be-
Icaiise We want an honest man as Com.
missioner Of Indian Affairs. We want
aNman who will see that the Indian has
q fair deal, that when he bargains for
: one hundred pounds from a contractor
: he Is not cheated, and the contractor
\ does not get off by Issuing only Is
pounds. We have gone over the list Of
our acQuaintances and we have decid-
, ed that you are the man.for the posi-
ton
e The tender OF this important posi-
tion was entirely unexpected so far as
Mr.. Scott was concerned. He was not
an applicant for it. and had not known
. that his name had been mentioned in
connection with 1t. After recovering
from his surprise. h. stated that. while
II was very great compliment. he
did not see how he could accept the
place. He had already made arrange
uents TO take Mrs. Scott and so with
y party that was TO attend a medical
, convention in Moscow. Russia. They
would be gone several months. and
both he and Mrs. Scott would be very
much disappointed If they were unable

to make the trip. Mr.. Bliss then stat.
ed. speaking as Secretary Of the In
terror. that II 1t was a matter Of salary
he would gladly have the salary Of the
position made equal to that Of the Sec.
rotary Of the Interior, as he was. In
deed. very anxious to have Mr.. Scott
a member Of his official family. Mr..
Scott. however. remained Arm In his
declination. and after further discus.
sion. In which he again thanked Presi.
dent Mckinley and Mr.. Bliss for the
offer. he reluctantly declined"
Mr.. Scott made the trip to Moscow
with Mrs. Scott. and year later be-.
came candidate for the Republican
nomination for the United States sen.
ate from West Virginia. and was nomi-
mated and elected. Had he become
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs, IN all
probability he would not have been q
candidate in 1898, and would have
never represented West Virginia In
the United States senate.
William Mckinley, Mark Hanna and
Cornelius Bliss have all passed away.
OF the four who met In the conference,
Senator Scott Is the sole survivor. In
his day no man was regarded more
highly by his party and public associ.
ates than N. B. Scott. His sound bust.
ness sense. his integrity and his
breadth Of view were highly valued,
and as a representative in the United
States senate Of the state of West
Virginia for twelve years, he exercised
a very great influence,
