all prospects of competition with a

kILRouRnE's ARMY RECORD.

Colonel Kilbourne. to use his cour-
tesy title, is the subject of any amount
of slobber in the press of his party for
his soldier record, with the wild talk
that the Union veterans of the state
are fiocking to his support by the
thousands and tens of thousands, ig-
noring all their past principles, ignor-
ing their comrades, unmindful of
everything except that Mr.. Kilbourne
was in the army with them; but SO
was Governor Nash, and Senator For
aker was: captain, too; and Senator
Hanna wore the blue as Union SOL
der, and President Mckinley was an
other Ohio Republican veteran Of
proved valor. Do the Democrats real
ly think that the old soldiers are such
chumps as to forget these facts, and
that of the Republican governors Of
Ohio since the war the soldiers in
clude Cox, and Moves, and Hayes, and
Anderson, and Young, and Foraker,
and Mckinley, and Bushnell?

A QUESTION
OF INTEREST
To The Tax Payers Of The
State.

Mayor Johnston, of Cleveland, has
appeared before the State Board of
Equalization asking that the railroads
of the State be made to materially in
crease the valuation of their property
listed in Ohio for taxation, johnson
claimed that the railroads were assess
ed too low, not nearly as high as in In
diana, and that our State Board of
Equalization had the power to increase
the valuation sufficient to make the
railroads pay their just proportion OF
taxes, and should do so.
The total valuation of the railroads
of the State, as returned for taxation
by the County Auditors this year is
SIG, 687,68S, which is, approximately
sS, 600, 600 more than the total returned
last year. The State Board of Equali-
zation of Railroads has increased this
aggregate appraisement by the sum of
50, 4O1. This increase is so slight as to
be immaterial in the meaning of the
law.
The Board refused to materially in
crease the aggregate, and by this refusal
declined to accept as valid the claim of
Mayor Johnston, of Cleveland, that the
Board has right to make material
in crease.
The reasons for the position taken by
the board are stated in an opinion rem
dered it by Attorney General Sheets.
This opinion, may be taken to COM
prise the boards case, as it will be pre-
sented to the Supreme Court, for it is
assurged that Mayor Johnston will
carry the case.to the Supreme Court
and will insist that the question at is
sue, which is not what taxes the rail
roads ought to pay, hut what are the
powers of the State Board of Equal
zation in the premises, shall be passed
upon by the highest tribunal in the
State.
The opinion of the Attorney Genera
hat the Equalization" board canno
increase" but can only equalize th'
taxes of the railroads is evidently cor
rect, as the law is very plain. 1t i
said Mr.. Johnston will carry the cas-
to the Supreme court, and we hope b.
will, but he will be beaten there. Tn
remedy for any evil that may exis
in this line, is with the Legislature an
not with the equalization board. l
would be dangerous grant of power t
3 any four men to allow them to increas
the taxes of any corporation, bushes
or individual, at their will. 1t woul
= be worse than letting some escape fror
just taxa ton by the lack of informatio
or corr upton Of county Auditors.

PROFITABLE TO FARMERS.

Make a New Record Cattle and
Hog Prices Reach High-water Mark
These are the headlines in big letters
in one of the staunchest Democratic
papers in Ohio over a Chicago market
report, stating that cattle and hogs
made new record for the
year. A carload of cattle sold
at $3.50, while carload OF
hogs brought 1920, also the highest
price of the year. Besides being the
highest price of 1901, it was As cents
higher than the top last September,
and, barring 1899, the highest Septem-
Der price recorded since 1883. The
price for cattle was s1.30 more than
in September, 1896, or nearly one
fourth increase over the rate for the
same grade in the same market five
years ago under the Democratic ad-
ministration. These are good facsS
coming from Democratic organ.

Democratic Attempt to Swing the SOL
dier Vote to kiIbourne.
II the Ohio Democratic campaign
such as there is of it-has no more
solid assurance of strength and exist
ence than its claim that Colonel Kill
bourne will receive almost the solid
support of the old soldiers in the
state" it is a vain effort OF course
there will be soldiers on his side.
There have always been some soldiers
among the voters for Democracy in
Ohio, but they were always in a mi
nority among their comrades. If they
could not muster majority of the
Ohio veterans for General Tom Ewing
and other men of military note, what
has the present head of the Demo-
dier or citizen that Republican sol
diers should flock to him by thousands
when they never did for anybody else?
In fact. with a well known Ohio SOL
dier opposed to him-his comrade in
the same Grand Army post-and with
another soldier, gallant and brave, in
Captain Foraker for United States
senator, on the Republican ticket, as
against Tom johnson or John Mclean,
| or some other civilian, qualified by
nothing but cash for the place, it is
| an insult to every old soldier in the
state to talk about their fiocking to
the Democratic ticket this time in the
way that the committee of that party
| is doing. The soldiers are for Nash
| and Foraker, as they were for McKin-
| ley and Hayes and Cox and Noyes.

TOM JoHNsoN's TAX cRANKs.

Cleveland can not stand Tom john
sons tax cranks. For a time he was
permitted to run his stunt without
much opposition other than ridicule
from the partisan press. The practi-
cal results are beginning to be felt.
Cleveland is not on the boom it was
when it passed the southern metropo-
lis and took the lead in population.
Business is not doing, for there is a
clog somewhere and the clog is shown
to be Johnson; and his fine system of
forcing more taxes from the property
owners for his political ring to scatter
has not particularly delighted the cit
izens who only wanted more money
from the rich that the tax rate for all
might core down. 1t has failed to
come down. Tomjohnsonitis is threat
ened with determination after the first

HON. CARL L. NIPPERT,
Republican Candidate For Lieu
tenant Governor.
Brief Sketch of the Career Of One Of
the Brainiest of Ohio German Re-
publicans.

tnC Va OulO utTmaQ me-
publicans.
Hon. Carl L. Nippert, Of Cincinnati,
Ohio, member of the state senate,
was born in Frankfort-on-the-M Main, of
American parents sojourning temper
arily abroad, his family belonging to
the first settlers of Monroe county, o.
After enjoying a liberal college edu-
cation in Germany, Switzerland and
this country, he was employed by the
Centennial commission in Phiiadel-
phia, and was then engaged as
teacher in the public schools of Gin
cinnati. While teaching, Mr.. Nippert
took up the study of law, and gradu-
ated from the Cincinnat. Law School
in 1891. Since then he has followed
his profession, and is now the senior
member of the prosperous law firm Of
Nippert, Powell & Smiley.
From 1894 to 1897 he faithfully
served the city of Cincinnati as pros
ecuting attorney, and in the fall Of
1899 was elected to the state senate
from the First district, being the only
Republican member elected from
Hamilton county. He is now the Re
publican candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and will receive a strong en-
dorsement at the polls from the voters
Of that county

the like of which has puzzled graver
heads than his. The hooting of the
owl grew less and less frequent, the
swishing of the waters fainter and
fainter. the pain in his back easier.
He must have slept some time. Sud-
denly he was awakened by the gallop
of a horse on the road below. He was
too weak to move. His voice was al
most gone, but as the horse and rider
approached he cried out with all the
strength he could summon, "Marse
Tomr'
Mr.. Aiken drew rein quickly and
turned his big lantern in the direction
Of the voice.
"Who is it, and where are you:" he
asked, dismounting.
'It's me, boss" answered the boy.
"What the mischief are you doing
here, Peter inquired Aiken, peering
INTO the boys begrimed face. "Why,
you are almost buried alivep'
81 ruined away from back yonder."
the boy answered. Il seed the levee er
breakin here, SO stopped"
| "Why, bless the boy!' said Aiken.
'You must be nearly dead. What is to
be done? Can you stand it till ride
back and get help to fill the break? 1t
| will open as soon as you move"
"Yessir; but hurry. boss" answered
the boy.
| As Aiken turned to remount he heard
the sound of boat wheels around the
curve and the whistle sounded out
hoarsely.
"By Georgev' exclaimed Aiken.
'There's boat, and three more inches
of water will top the levee here and
then all is lost"
In a few moments the boat rounded
the curve and the big lights shone out
across the water.
'"The Marsden," Aiken said, as he
saw the two smokestacks, with Nor
ton at the wheel shall have to fight
for it,
So saying, he picked up his gun from
where he had dropped it when he dis
mounted and strode on few PAGES up
stream to meet the boat.
"Steer for the other sidev' he called
out when the boat was in hailing dis.
tance.
I'm running this machine" respond,
ed the coarse voice of Morton, "and
guess the river is free."
Aiken could see the little tongues OF
water as they overlapped the bank
above. If the boat did not turn, she
would send the water over the levee
lower down where the boy was, and ht
and the whole embankment would bt
sucked in. There was no time to bt
lost.
Swinging the lantern above his heat
SO that Morton might see him, he fiuna
his rifle to his shoulder and called back
"Come another foot nearer to thi
shore and you are a dead man.
Morton knew what manner of man h,
had to deal with. The wheel reversed
the boat tackled and graZed the opposite
shore, which was already submerged.
"All right now, Pete" said Aikel
gently, patting the boys muddy pate
"I'l go on and be back in few mo
mcnts."
When they came by and put san,
bags in the hole Pete had been cover
ing, the little fellow was too weak t
speak or to stand, and Mr.. Aiken tool
him up in his arms and himself cal
!. ried him to the house.
And now Pete does nothing but rid
on the back seat of the carriage to ope
gates for the driver or to carry parcel

Shreveport shopping, for his boss"

OUR nARTYRED PRESIDENTS
CALL TO SONS OF VETERANS.
]. W. THOMPSON.

.Ye Sons of Veterans sons OF the noble sires,
Who two score years now gone,
Left the comforts of home, their hearth-stone
When Sumpter was fred upon.
The nations safeguards then were they,
The voice of duty heard and that to obey.
And to the 'front.' most willing event,
At the call of their noble President.
Now you like your fathers must willing be
To heed your county's call,
And fight for the flag; the. flag of the free.
II need be, as ready to fall.
For another foe has now lifted his head,
Whese hand is covered whose flag is red.
But Just like the other on treason bent,
And like the other it slew our President
Monstrosity, IF thou hast no other name,"
Let US call thee devil,
And that, too, when devils in deepest shame,
And blackest sins most revel."
For o darker deed was ever thought or done,
Than that which made ALL weep as ONE.
And meaner Demon ne'er was sent,
Than he who killed our President.
Oh, what a "Cimba's" mean. treacherous
touch,
Were in that rag bound hand,
What ''Casca's'' cold, cruel thrust, as such,
Was hid in that pistol hand,
Oh what. ''Brutus' bold, brutal blow was
dealt,
Which made a nation mourn, and all the world
has felt,
That assassin's blow, that treason's bent,
Which killed our loving President.
That cursed bail which so cruelty crushed
its way.
Like a living thing of hate,
Was not aimed so much at man, as man, they
say,
As twas meant to reach the state.
Well may we say, as of Caesar once was said
"Then all fell down; and bloody treason
fourish'd o'er'our head"
. For surely all were lowly bent,
When fell our knightly President.
What then.will you d OF ye veterans sons,
If this be the time for deed,
To clean out our land of such venomous ones
And end the Anarchist breed,
To run Anarchy down, every ''Son of a Vet,
Should his vows renew, and never forget,
What that infamous treason meant,
When it slew our knightly President,
May we not say, as was said OF the world:

Whom the worlds first Anarchist slew

In the midst of a sweet service, so true
