years; local and general information, leg
end and story, geography and antiquities;
indeed, everything pertaining to Ohio and
Ohio history.
Throughout the work is contrasted the
Ohio of today with that Of nearly fifty
years ago. On his tours he kept "Travel-
ing Notes." which he has introduced into
his chapters regardless of the dignity Of
history or art. These have a literary bon
homie that gives an agreeable individuality
to his chapters. He is exceedingly bright
and entertaining, varied in a~necdote, kind
ly in sympathy and pervaded by a rare
spirit of humor.
1t is indeed a remarkable work, and Ohio
Is fortunate In the possession of such a his
torian. The general assembly of the state
has given official Endorsement of it's worth
by purchasing 1900 sets for public libraries
and other institutions. Otterbein univer-
sity has conferred the degree of LII. D.
upon Mr.. Howe, and he has been elected to
honorary membership in many historical
societies both within and out of the state.
He now resides in Columbus, where he
publishes his work in connection with his
son. No one in looking upon his slight
frame and snowy locks Of age would sup
pose that he had the physical vigor and
mental power to have accomplished such a
great work.

Wants the Law Enforced.

Mayville Tribune: The latest concern
ing the elevator middle is to the effect
that J. j. Hill will not allow Great
Northern trains to stop at the state line
and have the wheat inspected. OF
course if Jim won't have it that way, that
settles it. For bullhead obstinacy and
bulldog tenacity commend us to Jim Hill
every time, as many have cause to know.
He assumes to own this part of country
and all the little fishes in it, and never
misses an opportunity to impress that
fact upon its denizens. If the railroad
commissioners succeed in making the
magnate come off the high pedestal on
which he dow perches. the community
will rise and call them blessed, but if the
present law is found inefficacious, the
farmers of this state should deem it in
cumbent upon them when the n~ext'legis-
lature meets to pass such a law as will
afford no possible loophole for MI. Hill,
or any other lord high executioner, to
wiggle through.

ing and instructive tableau that was wit
messed the other day at Brunswick, Me-,
in the very heart of the ''strict" prohibi-
ton section of the state. Two fast ex-
press trains struck a hay-rack contain
ing two men, demolishing the vehicle
and somewhat injuring its occupants.
The train was stopped and the passen-
gers, pouring out, surrounded the unfor-
tunate farmers, who were unconscious.
Some one asked if there wa any liquor
in the crowd. A drummer passed out a
neat little flask of Bourbon, another
drummer followed his example and soon
there we're hands stretching forth from
all directions with pints and half pints,
round bottles, flat bottles and square
bottles of all dimensions, from a gill to a
quart, and containing everything from
imported brandyt to Portland rum. There
was enough there to start a Lewiston
drug store, and the only man in the
crowd who didn't have a bottle ran of:
to a farm house and soon returned with
a two-gallon jug of some mysterious
liquor.

They Must Respect the Kaiser.

1tisn't safe to discuss the emperor of Ger
many in his own realm save with lauda-
tory phrase. Not long ago a young Amer
lean got into serious trouble because he
carelessly said to a companion in a Berlin
cafe, II cough at the kaiser.". The police
had him locked up almost before he could
catch his breath. The latest sufferer is a
Roman Catholic priest, who recently remon-
strated with the head of a household for
hanging Emperor Williams portrait be-
tween the pictures of two saints, remark
ing that a mere Protestant sovereign ought
not to be placed so near the holy ones Of
the Catholic church. His words were re-
ported, and the priest was brought before
a neighboring tribunal and condemned to
four months imprisonment in a fortress
for treason.

spection, the company can be compelled
so to do by mandamus, Is provided by
law. This wonld be the better and safer
method Of procedure. The other is
doubtful, if not imperative, to say the
least, and besides we want to proceed in
accordance with the law and not by
force.
Under the law I think it doubtful for
the railroad commissioners to pass rules
governing inspection other than at the
four places mentioned in the law-Grand
Forks, Fargo, Wahpeton and Paramount.
There is no valid reason why they
should not Lave such power, but the pc
culiar wording of the statute seems to
limit inspection to the points named.
1t has been suggested that a compro-
mise be made with the elevators to the
effect that a test case be made, and
pending said CASE the elevators be per-
mitted, by consent Of the railroad COM
missioners, to go on and do business in
violation of the law until its legality was
determined. This suggestion, coming
from the representatives of the elevator
companies, shows more than anything
else could do, the necessity of controll-
ing this Egrasping monopoly
by the strong arm of the
law. It also shows considerable gall.
The idea that the laws of a state should
be suspended during the trial of a case
to test the validity of the law is only
equaled by the desire and attempt of
said companies to fitch the producer out
of his hard earnings. It strikes me it
would look a little better and more law
abiding for the companies which ques-
ton the law to obey the same until the
courts declare the law void, for I'M
til so decided by the courts, acts of
the legislature are tbinding. AS we'll
might any other violator of the law, and
he be permitted to kill, rob and steal, etc.,
until the courts decide whether or not
the law is valid. In my Judgment the
elevators are no more privileged, and
have no higher rights, than other per-
sons, and should comply with the law I'M
til the courts declare them invalid. and
if they don't see fit to obey the law,ssthen
let them take their chances on the result
of litigation. Respectfully submitted,
G. A. M. SPENCER,
Attorney General.

A Rank Fake.

Helena Journal: A number of sports
assembled in Harmonic Hall last night
for the purpose of witnessing the set-to
advertised to take place between Black
Pearl, of Minneapolis, and Ike Hayes, of
this city. The affair was advertised to
be a contest for points only, since it was
we'll known by the pugilists and their
friends that the county attorney would
not allow a knock out. The result proves
the whole affair to be a fake of the
rankest kind. Barber Burnett appeared
to have charge of the financial end of the
show, and rigidly exacted a big iron dol
lar from ever misguided individual who
was sucker enough to enter the hall.
After sweltering for an hour or two wait
ing for the fighters to appear, it was an
nounced that the sheriff, acting under
orders from the county attorney, refused
absolutely to allow the men to come to-
gether at all. The spectators left the
hall, and a more Disguised crowd il
would be hard to find in Montana. They
wanted their money back, but Burnett
had disappeared with the funds. 1t does
not seem reasonable that the Pearl and
Hayes could have thought that they
would be allowed to spar after the set.
back they received the day previous and
it looks like bluff, to make the people
think they really wanted to fight when
in reality they we're afraid of one an.
other, than anything else. But perhaps
the blame should not rest upon thei,
shoulders as in such cases the manage,
ment of affairs of this kind is generally
delegated to some other individual. In
this case Burnett appeared to be the
great [ am and it is not surprising that
the set-to did not take place.

Mrs. Wesley and Her Children,s Education

Mrs. Susanna Wesley was very much in
advance of her age in one particular, and
that was in waiting till her little ones
were five years old before teaching them to
read. Many babies in those days were
taught the alphabet at two, and could read
quite iuently at three, while of a noted
Scotch divine his biographer tells chat at
three he had acquired the Greek as we'll as
the English alphabet, and at five was
wrestling with the Greek Testament. Nor
was this considered precocious or singular.
So. Mrs. Wesley displayed independence as
well as discretion by waiting till the fifth
birthday had come before her tiny men and
women were brought into the schoolroom.

THE HISTORIAN OF OHIO.
Despite His Years, He Is Still a Bright
and Vigorous Man.

Patriotic citizens of Ohio are congratu-
lating themselves over the completion of a
history of their state, which in it's method,
arrangement and conditions of authorship
Is one of the most noteworthy books ever
issued.
Its author, Henry Howe, was born in
New Haven, Oct. II, 1916. The son of the
first publisher of Webster's Dictionary,
and bred in an atmosphere of books under
the shadow of Yale college, it was but nat
ural he should take to authorship and
publishing. His first work was memoirs
of Eminent Mechanics" issued by the Har-
pers in 1889. In 1910 he travelled over the
state of New York in association with John
w. Barber, making drawings and collect
ing material for an historical work on that
state, which was issued in lS41. Two years
later was issued by them Historical Col
~lections of New Jersey"
In 1884 Mr.. Howe singly made a tour
over Virginia, largely pedestrian, and in
1915 published Historical Collections of
Virginia." These state works-New York,
New Jersey and V~irginia-are scarce and
out of print. The term "old gold" has
been applied to them by admirers as books
thumbed in youth which they in vain at
tempt to find in old age.

mountains to Ohio, passing successfully
through every county in it on the back of
an old, slow going horse, named, in irony,
Pomp. Much of the state was then a will
derness. He made drawings of the his
torical points and county seats, talked with
the pioneers and eminent men of the COM
monwealth and gathered its history from
those who laid the foundations.
In 1s47 he published the Historical Col
lections of Ohio" a work of 600 pages, with
1T ~engravings from his pencil sketches.
1t was immensely popular and had a great
er sale than any state work even to this
day issued. On its publication he settled
in Cincinnati, where for some thirty years
he has resided, engaged in writing and
publishing books, mainly historical, which
were sold by subscription all over the coun-
try.
In 1877 he returned to New Haven, and
after some literary ventures there, in the
fall Of 1885, O entering his SEVENTEEN year,
again went to Ohio to make a second tour
of the state for a new edition of his work.
This, after about six years of close appli-
cation, he accomplished by it's issue in
three large volumes.
The new work contains all of the old; in
it are the portraits and histories of Ohio's
eminent characters for the last hundred
