evening" while attempting to harrangue a
crowd in Independence Square. lie WAS
taken before Mayor Conrad, followed by a
large crowd. The News says;
The Angel made a statement in which he
said that he supposed, as Independence
Square was a place for tie holding of pub
lie meetings, he had a right to speak there.
The Mayor said that what might be tritlnc
matter under one state OF circumstances
under another would assu ne a very grave
character. With knowledge of the result
that had attended the speaking of the pris
oner in other places, he could not permit
such fearful experiments to be made within
the bounds Of his jurisdiction, He was in
duty bound To preserve the peace of the citv,
and he would do it at all hazards. He
should require the prisoner to enter into
bonds IN 1900 for his future good behavior
Orr said that he would leave the city in the
morning it the Mayor desired it; and the
Mayor replied that whenever he had assu-
rance that he would leaye the city, he should
be liberated -

re- WE notice q tendency to profanity and
obscenity in our press which is TO say the
least Of it natyery eemmendable. You can
scarcely pick up a paper without seeing
some very smart saying which in order that
it may palaiable to the masses is spiced
with profanity or solnu indecent expression
Editors will print what they would not dare
to speak in the public circles in which their
papers circulate. a weighty responsibility
rests upon newspaper editors. Their pa
pers are read by all. They find their way
into all the obscure corners of the new set
dement's where books are scarce. How i'm.
portant then that The moral tone Of our
newspapers should be healthy and that the
miserable trash frequently there found
should be discarded by those who conduct
them.
Children deyour the contents of the news

source ofinformation they possess. Impies-
sions made IN early youth are seldom over

columns Of your paper. that there has been
no decision as yet ia the Supreme Court OF
the United States upon the constiluhohality
Of The existing law under which Banks are
taxei.
The Court decided last spring, that the
tax law of March al, 1851, 50 far as it
came IN conflict with the act Of February
81, 1915, Incorporating the State Bank Of
Ohio. &c, was unconstitutional From this
opinion, however, three Judges dissented
The present law regulating the taxation
of Banks, was passed April l3, 1852, and
in conformity with the requirements Of the
new Constitution of the State.
1t Is highly probable that the validity o
this last law, which necessarily Involves tn,
validity Of our State Constitution, will b,
tried before the same high tribunal a

time, would it not be advisable 10 keep tn,
