The Democratic Ways and Means
Committee is in deep hole. Free trade
people of the Eastern States want free
raw material. They of the West and
South declare that if raw materials are
free of duty, their interests will be
ruined. What is to be done? The fa-
natics of the party all want free trade,
great election and millions of voters
are againstit.

A large majority for any party in a
legislative body is a condition to be de-
plored rather than rejoiced at. The next
General Assembly of Ohio will be nearly
four-fifths Republican in both branches.
and, judging from all previous legisla-
lures with large majorities, either one
way or the other, it is likely to be more
of hindrance than help to the Repub-
lican party. Large majorities are un-
manageable, and bad legislation is more
easily worked through when the members
are largely OF one party. Then, in land
slide like that of last week, large num-
ber of men are swept into the General
Assembly whom it was thought impos-
sible to elect when the nominations were
made. From the fact that the outlook
was practically hopeless, not the same
care in selecting the best men for the
position was used as would have been
employed, had there been thought to be
a moderate prospect of election. By this
means unfit men sometimes get in, and
when once in they are so impressed by
their Importance that no counsel goes
with them. They imagine they are
statesmen and at once start out to make
a reputation. A small majority is best
for both victor and vanquished and in
sures a smaller proportion of vicious
legislation. The coming General Assem-
bly, will contain some excellent men and
if these men can only hold the Others in
check it will be both for the interest of
the party and the State.

PENCIL POINTERS.

1t is common when party meets with
an unusual defeat to attribute the result
to the stay at-home vote, and some Dem
ocrats have suggested that as the cause
of their great defeat last week. When
we compare the total vote this year with
last year-a presidential year always
brings out a full vote-it is seen that the
total vote in this county is only 44O less
than last year. Now suppose we admit
that all of these 4iO stay t-homes were
Democrats; the Republicans would still
have a majority in the county of 931
more than ever before. But the truth OF
the matter probably is that the stay-at-
homes were pretty evenly divided and
that their staying at home did not ma
terially affect the general result. 1t is
certainly true that a part of them were
Republicans, for if you stop to think you
will find that in every precinct there were
some Republicans who did not vote, Sc
that if the Democratic vote was at all
affected by the stay y-at-home votes, it was
affected very little. What then was the
cause of the Democratic disaster? 1t is
clear to anyone who studies the situation
and compares the vote of last year with
this that many who voted the Demo
cratic ticket last year voted the Repub-
lican ticket this year. They had enough
of Democratic times and wanted some
more Republicans times, such as we had
before the election of last year. Not only
did every Republican who was persuaded
into voting the Democratic ticket last
year come back, but they brought with
them into the Republican fold many life
long Democrats. These men have not
changed their politics unthinkingly, but
it has been done deliberately and with
free knowledge of the step they were
taking, and the greater portion have
come to stay, and all such are welcome
in the party which believes in America
and American industries.

MIR. PETERSON ANSWERS MIR

Mr.. Fehre upon the paynten. bg Mr.. Fehre 70
Mrs. Peterson of $500 and Mr.. Fears assuming
mortgage for $3.50. A release '.z, full satsfac-
ton of all claims and demands of whatsoever
nature and kind TO date" was theyi executed and
acknow edged, bearing date February II,
1921, between Mr.. Fehre and Mrs. Peter
son. This release was draws by Messrs.
Arthur & Spriggs, who we<e then Mr..
Fehres attorneys. and was recorded February
20, 1891, in book 10 of deeds. rsgs II, anu since
that date Mr.. Fehre has had no claim OF any
kind, whether legal or moral Against me or Mrs.
Peterson. The suit flied Saturday Is for the

Dispute Between u. i. Co. and the
Narrow Gauge Emaloyes.

For some time there has been considerable
discomfort among the employees & the Columbia
Il Puget sound railroad IL regard to
wages The basis for this grievance is that
the company is paying jower rate OF
wages for similar services than Is paid by other
roads at this point For the purpose OF making
effort to remedy this, meeSiDg OF the en-
gineers. firsmen, conductors and brake
men was held coupe OF weeks
ago aud schedule prepared TO be
submitted TO the company. One schedule had
reference TO the conductors and brakemen and
the other to the engineers and fremeu. The
committee appointed 10 presen5 the schedules
and complaint was ioilogs: Engineers
William Blackman and W. J. Fasrell, Conductor
Barney Kearns, Brakeman II. J. Me-
Kinney, Yardmaster George Matthews and
Fireman w. H. Fritz On tKeir presenting
the schedules to superintendent Bush that
gentleman recognized the justice OF several of
the demands, but said that the company would
prepare schedules and submit tAeln to the EN-
ployes. The next day these schedules were
sent to the men. and Il was found
that only couple OF small conces-
sions had been made, one granting 10
cents day extra to the coal trasemen and S. s.
month extra 10 the local freight brakemen.
These schedules were discussed 1t meeting of
the employees few days later sad the conclu-
sion was reached that their te-;ns were even
more unfavOrable than the existing schedule.
The committee then called upon General
Manager Smith and tried 10 compromise thu
matter, but he would not recede from the terms
he had made. aud thus the matter rests.
Whether or not the men will strike is not now
known, but i, is safe TO say that their demands
will be renewed. General MANAGER Smith said:
don't think there is as much feeling on this
subject has been represented. :}elieve that the
greater part OF the employees who have been
with us long while are compar zuvely satified,
and don I anticipate that any trouole Is brew
ing or that there will be any .roub,e, except
with two or three OF the ag!tatos-.
