FEES AND SALARIES.

We believe an officer has Il right 10
draw the full amount Of salary or fees to
which the law entities him. He is not
dishonest, nor is he to blame, for drawing
all that is due him. While we concede
this, we must say that we believe that
salaries and fees are entirely too high
We have held for long time, that the
President of the United States, and mem
bers OF Congress, should serve without
pay. The answer to this is, that no poor
man could hold these offices, and they
would be held by the rich, Now we
believe that if man who is of the age
requisite to have experience sufficient to
enable him to fill these offices properly,
has not had industry, energy, economy
and intelligence sufficient to accumulate
enough property to enable him to serve
his country, he is too poor in those quail
tiles to be a good and profitable servant
of the people.
We have plan to regulate fees OF
county officers, by which we believe the
people could get much more efficient
officers, at one-third the amount now
paid to such officers. We will give an
idea of our plan. OF course it could be
changed, or modified.
Let the Judge Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, the Probate Judge, Clerk, Auditor
and Prosecuting Attorney in each county
appoint Board of county Examiners
consisting of three competent men, not
all of the same political party. Let this
Board hold an examination some time IN
the month of June each year, and grant
certificates to candidates for office, Lei
the certificates state that the applicant l:
qualified to perform the duties OF the
Office for which he proposes to be can
didate; that he possesses a good mora
character, and a good reputation for hon
esty and integrity Let the certificates
be numbered l. 2 and 3. according tt
qualifications. Let each candidate an
nounce himself, as is now generally done
by candidates, during the month of July
Let him state in his announcement fol
what Office he is candidate, the numbe
of his certificate, and the amount o
money for which he will perform tht
duties of the office. During the montl
of August, let nominations be made.
The announcement would not cost th'
candidate any more than it does now, i
might be in this form:
John Smith will be a candidate on th
- ticket for the Office of Auditor
He holds certificate from the Board
numbered l, and will perform all tn
duties Of the office for 81 cooper year"
John Jones would perhaps announc
that he is candidate for the same office
holds certificate numbered 3, and viii
perform the duties of the Office for $500
Let no man be eligible to any otfic
unless he hold certificate, and publish
notice showing its grade, and the amour
for which he will perform the duties o
the office Then each political party will
be apt to nominate the best man, who viii
fill the office for the least money in pre-
portion to his qualifications.

come on, and this man at Chillicothe said
he had done all that he could for the
children of a comrade crippled from
wounds received in battle.
Daring the debate on the O'Connor law,
Il Democrat remarked that the intrmary
was the proper place for these children.
Could rebel hate 90 farther than to
drive the children of brave, loyal and
wounded soldiers to pauperism when the
state has provided for their support and
education, until they are old enough to
support themselves The wretched cop
perhead spirit is not yet dead, and there
are those who rejoice at the misery OF
those whose patriotism led them to suffer.
Mr.. Hays placed the little ones in the
sleeping car, and called the attention OF
Rev A. C Hirst, of Chillicothe, to them
who was on his way to Cincinnati, so that
they will probably arrive at their desti
nation"
1t is admitted by all who have looked
at this law, that if obeyed, it would de
stroy the usefulness of the Home.
You cannot trust the Democratic party
1t is built upon wrong principles, and NJ
good can come of it.

On Wednesday, of last week, terrible
Railroad accident happened at Mingo
Station, on the Pittsburg & St. Louis
Railroad. An express train, running at
the rate of forty miles an hour, collided
with freight train, running at high
speed. Thirteen persons were killed out
The accident is attributed to the fact that
the watch carried by freight conductor
lost twenty minutes in running twenty
six miles

Even if Neal, of Lawrence, should Sc
cure the Republican nomination for Con-
gress, he will be a pretty well squeezed
lemon before he begins the fight. 1t is
said that he is spending dead loads of
money to get the nomination and when
it comes to buying up enough votes to
secure his election, he'll be very apt to
run short of funds, and, of course, he'll
run short of votes, for what can Repub-
lican do towards securing an Office with
out money. Nothing Waverly Watch
man.
That is the kind of abuse continually
heaped upon Democratic voters by Dem
ocratic papers. We never will believe,
without some pretty positive evidence
that Democratic voters are in the habit oI
selling out their votes to the highest bid
der. The leaders OF the Democracy are
often pretty mean, but that the rank and
file Of the party are mean enough TO sell
out directly, we cannot believe. 1t take;
money to carry on q campaign; every
body seems to understand that. Docu
ments must be printed and distributed
bands must be paid, livery must be hired
tickets must be printed and distributed

we think little or no money is expended

IRON AND COAL INDUSTRIES.
Notes Of Trip to the Jackson Coal and
Iron Region.

Commissioner Walls, of the State Bu
reau of Labor Statistics, returned yester-
day from trip through the Jackson coal
and iron region. He reports much de
preston in both the coal and iron indus
tries, but at the same time the prospects
are frightening and there is some prom
ise of improvement and returning pros
perity in the near future
Out of nineteen furnaces in Jackson
county, but seven are in operation. Of
the twelve now idle, one is being put into
shape to start up on the goth inst, being
one of the twin furnaces owned by the
Wellston Coal and Iron Company. OF
the six furnaces at jackson G. H., but
one is running, that belonging to the
Globe Iron Company. They are selling
no iron but piling it up near the furnace.
AS an evidence Of the depression in
the iron trade one of the companies sold
last week 420 tons Of iron at $l4 % a ton,
delivered in Cincinnati. This nets the
company but twelve dollars ton.
The Commissioner states that the max
ing of charcoal iron in the Jackson re-
gion and in Southern Ohio is practically
at an end or the 81 charcoal furnaces
in the State, three have been entirely
abandoned and % of those remaining, are
standing idle, OF those running, four are
in jackson county. The decadence oil
charcoal iron interest is due to the struc-
ture of the old fashioned furnaces rend-
ering it impossible for them to compete
with capacity OF about $500 ton year
with the new furnaces built with modern
mprovements, and a capacity Of from
10000 to &c, 600 tons year.
The future Of jackson county depends
on its coal, which is claimed by experts,
to be the finest house coal in the country.
Five new mines have already been open
ed on the line Of the New Springfield
Jackson & Pomeroy Narrow Gauge, now
completed five miles beyond jackson. A
company headed 10y President Whitley
of the Narrow Gauge, has purchased a
large tract Of land costing $25, 900 90, on
which they propose at once to open mines
and erect blast furnace near Eureka
The coal on the tract averages between
three and four feet in thickness, and the
iron ore is found Immediately above it.
Analysis made of the ores by three sepa
rate chemists give an average of 1906
per cent. of metallic iron.

CHOW IT WORKS.

Our fellow citizen J. Wesly Hays saw
the practical workings of the cursed
O'Connor law one day last week, and we
hope that he will go to Dayton next
Wednesday and narrate the affair with as
much feeling as he told it to u.s.
When he entered the cars of the NJ u
c.. road at Chillicothe, to ride as far as
Mussleman' where he intended to take
the Dayton q Southeastern, a group Of
five persons attracted his attention, con-
sisting of a man, woman and three little
children.
The man turned to Mr.. Hays and asked
him to look after the children, the eldest
of whom was in his twelfth year, and he
and his eight years old brother had been
discharged from the Home at Xenia, and
forwarded to him, because it was known
that he was protecting the motherless
little girl four or five years of age, who
was, in company with her brothers, on
the way to Missouri, where they had
friends who wrote they were too poor to
