News.
Special to News Democrat.
Columbus, Jan. 24-The members Of
the Stark county delegation in the gen.
eral assembly have already received
numerous requests of sets of Howe's
Historical Collections, a 10000 edition of
which work will undoubtedly be printed
at the expense of the state for gratui-
tous distribution. But the members de-
clare that when they receive their al
lotments of copies of the work they
expect to dispose of them in accordance
with the intent of the joint resolution
which will authorize their printing and
distribution, namely, to public and
school libraries and schools direct
throughout the county where such
schools have no libraries. In this way
may the greatest number of the people
| who are intended to be benefited be
reached and thus the purpose of the gift
| Of the state be realized. But then as yet
the resolution authorizing the printing
of the histories has not been finally
adopted. AS it came from the senate
to the house it provided for $500 sets of
the work, and the house amended MAX
| ing the number 10000. Then it went
back to the senate for concurrence in
the amendment, when the latter body
| refused to concur and asked for a con-
| ference committee, which was granted
| Today the conference committee report
| ed to the senate recommending the adop-
| tion of the resolution as amended by the
| house, but its further consideration was
| postponed until next Tuesday. The res
| olution as it now stands provides for
| 49, 900 sets of the work, rs of which will
| be placed in the hands of each senator
| and each representative for distribu-
ton. Even with the limitations fixed
in advance by theStark county mem
bers, it will readily be seen that there
will not be sets enough of the work to go
around.
Since this really interesting and valu-
able work was noticed rather r'eXtensive-
ly about ten days ago in the News-Dem-
ocrat, it is significant that the inquiries
for the work which came to the men,
bers of the general assembly are nearly
all from Stark and adjoining counties.
And while 1t is evident in advance that
the people will appreciate the gift on the
part of the state, it Is equally evident
that the people read the newspapers.
Speaker Pro Tenn Snyder of Stark,
introduced a bill to supplement (2966-50)
| section "a Revised Statutes of Ohio, pro-
viding that
ANY person entitled to vote at a
general election in the state shall, on
the day of such election, be entitled to
absent himself from any service or en-
ployment in which he is then engaged or
employed for a period of two hours
between the time of opening and closing
the polls; and such voter shall not be-
cause of so absenting himself be liable
to any penalty, nor shall any deduction
be made on account of such absence
from his usual salary or wages. Pro
vided however, that application FOR
leave of absence shall be made prior to
the day of election , the employer may
specify the hours during which said en-
ploye may absent himself as aforesaid
Any person or corporation who shall
refuse to an employe the privilege here
in conferred, or shall subject the en-
ploye to penalty or deduction of wages
because of the exercise of such privilege
or who shall, directly or indirectly, vio-
late the provisions of this section, shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
