That Ohio Pointer.

In view of the great ado which has
been made in the Democratic papers
over the fact that the Democratic can
date, Sorg, was rec ntly elected to Con
gress in the T bird Ohio district, to fill
out the unexpired term OF Representa-
tive Houk, Dem. it might be inferred
that this Dutch capture OF Holland was
as little Peterkin would say, fam
Gus victory" The New York Sun,
however, dispels this fond illusion
of the tariff smashers In the following
cruel fashion:
The New York Evening Post speaks Of
the Democrats as "holding their own at
the special election in the Third district of
Ohio. This is the remarkable mathematical
process by which IL arrives at the result:
"The Democrats have now carried the
district by about 1900, which Is about tho
majority given to Mr.. Houk in 1922 Mr..
Houk's majority over the Republican
candidate Donley, in the election OF 1892,
which the Post describes as 'about 1000"
was precisely 1916 The Posts about
covers deliberate msstatementin in the way
of reduction amounting TO fraction less
than forty-four per cent. Mr.. Sorgs
majority on Tuesday over Rathbone,
which the Post likewise describes as
''about 1000" is 1,72l, according to the
unofficial returns, This other "about" o..
the Post covers second misstatement,
this time in the way Of exaggeration,
amounting to Just little over "a per cent.
Using these two 'abouts" in the disin.
gonuous manner here shown, the Post in
forms its readers that the Democrats in
the Third Ohio district have held their
own; that there has been no falling of in
the Democratic majority as compared
with the last congress election. The state
ment would be comforting II it were true:
but it is untrue. The truth is that the
Democratic majority in the district has
fallen off from 4,8l6 to Lei. 1t has been
more than cut in half. 1t has suffered a
loss Of 60 per cent. Congressman Sorg Is
a brand snatched from the burning. The
result in the Third Ohio district is hardly
less lamentably significant than was that
in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth districts
of New YORK three months ago.
TheDsmosratic inability to state facts
correctlyis further shown in an at.
tempt OF several Democratic organs to
charge this alleged Republican "de-
feat" to the influence exerted upon or.
ganized labor by the prompt course OF
Governor Mckinley in ordering state

their own records by claiming that most
women are bad and that most men are hyp-
ocrats, and they just happen to be found
out. There are billions of stars in the
heavens, yet the only light we see is the
meteor running astray. There are hun
dreds Of happy homes, yet the only home
that ever crawls rocking with slime, into
the court room, is that in which there is
scandal and divorce. We ought to feel
sad that one Of the most brilliant repre-
sentatives Of one of the most brilliant
families of old Kentucky has been ruined:
that one Of the brightest lights of congress
is about to be snuffed out; that one OF the
most honored public speakers is disgraced
But cannot we rejoice that our ZONES
have been vindicated; cannot we be thank
full that public sentiment IN almost every
case thinks right if man does nos always
act right?

toiler today ia one well calculated TO

courage, With wages reduced, oppor-

almost unprecedented ratio and the

Of that paradise of piscatorial enthusi-

of proportion to the reported legal
