TITLE OF PROPERTY
Vested In the Person Who Had
1t In Charge, According
To Decision.

The Steubenville Gazette has the fol-
lowing concerning a circuit court de-
cision in that city:
Rebecca F. Robertson VS. j. w. Stew
art & Co., on error. Mrs. Robertson had
bought a piano from Stewart and paid
$3.50 and was to pay $40 a month until
the price $3.50 was paid Stewart & Co.
A written instrument stipulated that
title should remain in them until the
claim was paid in full. The property
was destroyed by fire, and she claimed
that the destruction not being caused by
any fault of hers and she not having IT,
tie to the property, should not be liable
for the balance yet due, which was 1926.
The common pleas court rendered a
judgment against Mrs. Robertson and
the circuit court affirmed. Decisions by
Lewis; w. r. Alban. The case will be
carried to the supreme court, being the
first case in Ohio where such a question
was raised, and it is of Importance to
installment dealers.

DO not fail to note the fact that the
Monroe doctrine had as basic idea
what might be termed geographical
question. We agreed to let Europe
alone, and demanded that Europe keep
all its kings and queens and emperors
and imperial Caesars out Of the wes-
tern hemisphere of North and South
America.
The president has plunged this gov
ernment not only into European poll
tics, but also into Asiatic politics, which
is far worse. Having inaugurated a
policy and announced the intentions of
the United States government to con-
troll vast islands and dense populations
in the Orient, what moral right have we
to say that Europeans or Orientals shall
have no right to interfere with Amer
lean complications? II we have the
legal and moral right to mix with the
politics of the Orient and Europe, will
they not claim the same right to mix
in affairs in this hemisphere? In other
words, this administration has aban-
doned the basic principles OF the Mon
roe doctrine. The Monroe doctrine has
lost all it's moral force in Europe to-
day because the vital principle which
gave 1t birth has been abandoned.
The three devil-born triplets, the four
black devils Of Observation-Disclosures
ism, Oriental aggression, ,militarism and
trust vampireism, should be condemned
in lurid words, and in my judgment In
the order named. Violation of the civil
service law, official corruption and the
quartering of over $4,000 new and un-
necessary civil officers upon the already
Overburdened taxpayers, should each
receive a brief but terse resolution.
On the money question the Republic
can caucus law passed without due
consideration, without debate, and in
violation of both the letter and spirit
Of the Republican national platform,
upon which Mckinley was elected,
should be denounced without stint. At
tentiOn should be called to the tremen-
dous fact that NO limited monarchy in
Europe, nor any republic or empire
century, ever surrendered its sovereign
power to coin money or issue credit
money to private corporations.
On the present Ohio legislature some
thing fitting should be said, provided
the English language Is found compe-
tent to dc the subject justice, which I
very much doubt.
The coming campaign will be big
with issues, and it seems to me that
God and humanity will be on our side
on all Of them. Very truly,
ISAAC r. SHERWOOD.
