The REGISTERS RILEY,

The Register Is now industriously
engaged in parading IT'S Riley before
the people of Washington county, its
latest move being to compare his rec
ord while he was in the Senate with
that of Mr.. Middleswart in the House.
Mr.. Riley is shown to have introduced
twenty-five bills, seven of that number
or twenty-eight per cent having pass
ed. The Register also says that Mr..
Middleswart introduced six bills, two
of which number or thirty-three per
cent, passed.
The fact of the matter is that Mr.
Middleswart introduced five bills, four
of which number, or forty-per cent,
were passed.
The Register failed to say that all of
the bills except one, introduced by Mr..
Middleswart, passed the House. of
which body he was member,, and that
their failure to become laws was due
to inaction on the part of the Senate.
The comparison made by the Regis
ter is surely an unfortunate one for
ITS Riley, as it shows him up as being
extraordinarily prolific on the ques-
tion of introducing bills, which is in
direct opposition to the wishes of the
people. For many years the feeling
for less, rather than more legislation
has been growing, and the members of
a General Assembly or of Congress
who prevents rather than inspires or
encourages the passage of bills that
have no merit is universally accepted
as being the member of most value to
his constituents. There is far more
danger in getting too many rather
than too few laws upon the pages of
our statute books,as evidence of which
the people of Ohio several years ago
decided that the Legislature of Ohio
met too often, which resulted in the
adoption of biennial sessions.
1t is of interest to know. since the
question of comparison of recorC has
been raised, that the Senate of which
the Registers Riley was a member,
did not place very high estimate on
a number of his pet measures, as sew
eral of them failed to reach a third
reading, while others were indefinitely
postponed. Of this, however, we may
have something to say in the future.
Since "Inquisitive Voter" has taken
the pains to investigate the official
record Of another, he can hardly OBJ
ject to an examination of his own.

The Registers wall on the question
of Unit Rule is loud and long Let's
see, it has been but two short years
since the Registers present candidate
for Representative was chairman Of
the Washington county delegation in
the Senatorial convention and at
tempted, by the worst sort of bull
doing tactics, to ccerce the eighteen
minority members of that delegation
into bowing to his mandates-but they
didn't bow.

LABoRING MANS FRIEND "a

Since the mails are being deluged
with circulars proclaiming the Regis.
ter's Riley to be the laboring mans
friend, it is but fair to look into his
official career along that line. An eX-
animation of the records of the Ohio
Senate of the Seventy-third General
Assembly, when Mr.. Riley was mem
Der of that body, measure. was intro
session, being Senate Bill No. (which
was calculated as a blow at every poor
man in the state. The bill as intro
duced is given in full herewith:
A BILL,
To amend Section 6701 of the Revised
Statues of Ohio:
Section l. Be it enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio,
That Section 6701 of the Revised Stat
utes of Ohio be and the same is here
by amended so as to read as follows:
Section 6701. Justices of the Peace
may previous to issuing process, COM
mencing an action, or at any time be-
fore trial, require the plaintiff to give
security for costs of suit. which may
be done by depositing a sum of money
deemed by the Justice to be sufficient
to discharge the costs that may accrue
in the action, or by giving an under
taking with surety approved by the
Justice, payable to the adverse party,
for the payment of all costs that may
accrue in the action.
Section .. Section 6701 of the Re-
vised Statutes of Ohio is hereby re-
pealed.
Section 8. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its
passage.
If this bill had been enacted into
law it would have had a tendency to
shut the poor man out of Justices
courts, but thanks to the good judg-
ment of the Senate, the measure was
put to sleep very quickly and most eff
fectively by being indefinitely postpon-
ed Under the existing law any resi-
dent, rich or poor may bring suit in
the Justices courts without executing
the rigid requirements called for in
this pet measure of the Registers Ri
ley, who, as one of his first official acts
after getting into the Senate attempt
ed to put a burden upon the laboring
man by compelling him to give secur-
ity for the costs in case it became nee
essary for him to sue for his rights.
o, yes! this measure, like the bill re-
quiring the maintenance of library
for the benefit of chosen few, at
very heavy expense to the people, is
evidence that the Registers Riley is
great friend" (?) of the laboring man.
THIS is CHAPTER ONE.

CRUSADE AGAINST VICE
Evil Doors and JOintiSts' Lives TO be Made
Miserable. ae-

The attention of the Mayor was de-
voted yesterday morning tothe hearing
of proprietors and inmates of Howard
Bros resort, which was raided by the
police Tuesday night. The three wom-
eli who were found in the place gave
their names as Mamie Vastly, Goldie
Reed and Goldie Closton
The latter cheerfully paid her fine,
amounting to SO and costs and went
her way. The other two demanded
a jury trial. The case will be held at
8 o'clock Friday morning.
Howard Bros. will also appear at
that time to contest the charge of be-
ing proprietors of a gambling resort
and house of i'll fame.
In the afternoon warrants were
sworn out for three women. Maude
Noll, Annie Mahoney and Blanche
Stage, by name, who are inmates of
the Chas. Hendershot house
at the corner of Third and Ohio streets
1ney will also receive lesson in NOR

en- a chance to swell the public purse
by paying generous fines.
To provide for an intelligent and
harmonious cooperation between the
heads and members of the police de
partments a monthly consultation will
be held between Mayor Sykes and the
police force. 1t is the Mayors inten-
tion to begin the municipal house
cleaning and although it is a little late
in the season he proposes to do the
work thoroughly and well, using lib
era. fines and prolonged Imprisonment
to clean out the city's filth which is
congregated in the low dives.
These wrong doers, instead OF
pleading guilty and paying their fines
are influenced by the counsel of Ger.
tain attorneys and in this way the pur-
pose of the officials is defeated and the
city is put to expense while crime
thriyes on.

FORAKER FOR PRESIDENT.

A Washington G.spatGn says that
opinions expressed at the National
Capital by prominent men are that the
decision Of the United States Supreme
Court declaring constitutional the
Foraker Porto Rican tariff act, makes
Senator Foraker its author, a formid-
able candidate for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency in 1904.
He is looked upon as one of the strong
est men in the party as well as one of
the safest to follow on all important
public questions.
Senator Foraker's friends are legion
and his candidacy for the Presidential
nomination would meet WITH strong
approval in all sections Of the country.

TAGGART OBJECTS.

E. F. Taggart, the newly elected
Commander of the Ohio Department
G. A. r., has, according to reports.
taken a firm stand on the question of
desecrating Decoration Day. The mat
ter that led up to this was the prepara-
tion on the part of the Lancaster
High School to hold field day exercises
on this date. Hearing of this, Com
mander Taggart sent the following
protest:
Akron o., May %, 1901.
L. O. Silbaugh, Mayor, Lancaster:
Dear Sir-If the citizens of Lancas-
ter allow the desecration of Memorial
day by permitting their High School
to hold "a field day" carnival, your
people are not deserving of entertain
ing our next encampment. The depart
ment commander enters the united
protest Of the Grand Army of Ohio
against all such desecration on this
most holy day E. F. TAGGART,
Department Commander.
AS result of this action on the part
of Col. Taggart the proposed exercises
have been postponed until Friday Of
this week.
