ANarticle from the Philadelphia Record,
and another from the New York Times,
published elsewhere this morning, show
pretty plainly that the policy of imitation,
as it is called, is going to carry in Con.
gress. That is, that the $44,0OO,e0o re.
serve is going to be made part OF the
permanent circulation Of the country.
The money article Of the Philadelphia
Inquirer takes the same view of the pro.
bable action of Congress, It's remarks are
as follows:
It Is generally conceded that II Con.
gress will do nothing else In reference to
anancial affairs, 1t will legalize the issue
OF the $4400000D reserve. Inasmuch as
tnls money was the circulating medium
o. the people, decreed 90 to be by act OF
congress, the declaration or re.sfirmation
that this money is part Of the currencv Of
the nation Is deemed by many an m.
necessary act, and many ot the Renresen.
tatlves from the West win strennonsiv
insist that not only the Illegally retired
$44, 900, 900 shAll be regarded a. mart of
the country's currency, but the legal ten.

brighten up as spring approaches, II
groceries 40 change can be noted n
prices. The coffee market Is firm, but the
reduction OF the last week still holds
good. A general fall has taken place h
provisions, ranging from 10 to 1c. The
reduction Is owing to a fall in the west
ern markets, where stocks are large: In
flour fall Of 25 cents per barrel Is noted
The price has dropped In the west, and
the western railroads have also reduced

We have before us copy of the "Vir.

In Wheeling, November 25th, 1919. Cut
nails were manufactured here at that
early day, by RoBT. A. R. ASTON, at his
mail factory. in Back or Second street, up.
per townTot Wheeling, and Immediately
east Of the postoflce. We notice that the
wholesale price was from 14i to 2Octs per

day sold in Wheeling for nearly the same
price at which 1t Is sold to day-viz-8S
to S7cts per pound. We Judge by an
article in the paper that the cry Of hard
times was heard in the land then as now.

a Bill to Prevent Rascality in Office,
The following bill has been introduced
into the Ohio Legislature

| --NS-SNAAAGl
The following bill has been introduced
into the Ohio Legislature:
SECTION /. Be It enacted 6y The Genera
Assembly Of Ohio, That NO officer OF ths
State, nor any officer Of any county
township, city or incorporated village
within this State, who holds his official
position by election Of the people
shall be required to execute or give bond
for the faithful discharge Of his Official
duties.
SEC. 2. That all moneys received bv
any such officer in his official capacity
shall be deemed and held as public mon.
eyes, and no such officer shall use, loan
convert, deposit 1t, or apply such moneys
or any part thereof, 10 any other than the
legitimate purposes for which the same
was entrusted with said officer.
SEC. 3. That each and every violation
Of the second section shall be deemed a
mlsdemeanor, and any officer 90 offend.
ing, on conviction thereof, shall be i'm.
prisoned in the penitentiary and kept al
hard labor not more than fifteen nor lese
than three years.
SEC. 4. The State and counties, town.
ships, cities, and incorporated villages, in
their corporate capacity, shall be liable
Tor all defalcations OF their respective Of
ticers elected as aforesaid; and counties,
townships, cities, and incorporated vill-
ages shall be compelled, by suit or other
wise, to pay the amount due to any per-
son on account OF such dedication.
Under such law as this the people
would be very careful who they elected
to office. Punishment would be much
more certain than 1t is now. We hope
the bill will become law.

Mr.. WALKER, the late Public Printer,
Is OF the opinion that the newspapers
have made too much fuss about his delay
in getting the Acts Of the Legislature
printed and circulated. He takes credit
to himself that he is willing to print them
al all, "ln the midst Of q thousand uncer-
taintles about where the pay is to come
lrom." We supposed that with the
Board Of Public Works and Pat Daily at
his back there was no question about pay
for any sort OF a Job.

FRANK HEREFORD, member OF Congress
from the Third District, has done more
for that fund than for his own character.
He has not convinced people that the op.

to hedge at the last hour Of tho game, or,
in other words, that he was prompted by
any other motive than desire to propiti-
ate public sentiment and thus become a

District. Possibly he considers the
chance Of q denomination worth flour
