1t is unfortunate that these matters
must be brought to public attention, as
tbose who meet up With them are Of a
political faith that winces TO support q
state OF facts related and insisted upon by
Democratic speakers and Democratic
county press, but things have come to
pass that is not wide enough to under
take the facts and Joe Reed at the same
time, so the county officials themselves
are getting in humor to plead that all
the News. Democrat and Democratic
stun pers said last fall was true. They
are also In bumor to say that 1t is
true yet. That there may be no question
as TO the authority for this relation Of
the situation, q number of the officials
were interviewed today. They are all
Republicans. There are no Democratic
officials in the court house. 1t may also
be said here that no state Of facts con.
com liant with these ever existed when
there we're Democrats in office in the
court house. So what the county officials
say must have weight. Some Of them
were on the Endorsement papers that were
stu ok into the ballot boxes last fall, and
they ought to know what they are talk.
ing about. Here are the opinions Of tie
Republican officials on the state Of things
that the people of the county foolishly
endorsed last fall:
Probate Judge Henry A. wise-what

them from him2"

Recorder Charles A. Dougherty-"I

but, understand, I am attending TO my
own business and not his, and I want
y ou to say so."
Sheriff zaiser--"It's not right; but
it's none Of my affair, and don't want

Common Pleas Judge Thomas T. Mo
Carty-"If the county con- missioners
want the keys to that room very bad they
ought to be able to get them. They are
supposed to have control of the court
house. They might call on the sheriff TO
assist them If necessary"

Having received at the hands OF bis
party last fall so splendid an Endorsement
as the true type Of Stark county Repub-
licarism, IL is little wonder that Jie A.
Reed feels somewhat independent. He
still has possession Of those rooms in ire
court house ard he is bothering the
entire roster Of county oiiicials, IL Gliding
the resident judge Of the court, as TO how
to get rid of him. The small n after Of
blucsing public business does not trouble
Joe, for the people Of the county said last
FIJI that they liked that kind Of a fell
low, and even when iS comes to positive
demand to retire the G1.reoorder feels
that bis Endorsement entities him to
stay. So far as that is concerned, he
would just as soon lock Judge Of the
court out as any one else, as his index
system is an inviclnte piece of meohan-
Ism and must not be disturbed.
During the past week court has been in
session and jurors have been in atten-
dauce. On one occasion a gentleman
wa drs fted for jury duty who has a
severe case Of asthma. So badly Is he
affected that he cannot climb stairs,
though able to make some progress on q
level floor. The exercise of climbing
stairs produces the effect of making him
semi-u nc nnscious and causing him to fall
with sheer exhaustion. AS he was salts
factory to both sides, his afflictlon being
purely physical, he was made one of the
panel and the cssn proceeded. When the
jury wss about to retire it was brought
to the attention Of Judge McCarty that
the Juror would be unable to mount the
stairs to the Jury room. The Judge ap-
preached the bailiff and asked him If the
juror could not be taken up on the
elevator. Bailiff HAuptfuer explained
that as the Jury room was in the rear Of
that wing Of the court house, there was
only one available entrance and that wss
by the back stairway, as the rooms up
stairs Leaving to the elevator hallway
were looked and no keys could be pro-
cured for them. The court thought this
rather strange and proceeded to the COM
missloners' office to make inquiries. de
wanted to know 1: the commissioners
could not open those rooms SO that the
jnry room could be reached by means Of
the elevator. The court was astounded
to learn that the commissioners had no
key for the rooms that led to the jury
room. The CON missioners stated to
Judge McCarty that jos Reed had had q
new lock put on the door and had the
only key to 1t, so that portion of the
bu ilding could not be reached. Thus 1t
became apparent that the sick Juror
could either climb the stairs, have his
friends carry him up, or get of the jury
and cause the case to be tried over again
1t was little rough ON the court, but
the court had to submit to the proprietor
Of the Republican ring, and the juror was
painfully carried up the stairs to the jury
room and thers deposited in an exhausted
condition, while Joe Reed, a private
citizen, holding no office whatever save
as the custodian Of the $40, 900 index sys-
tenn and the methods of the ring gaily
walked about town with the keys of
