COPPER BARS

Nowadays is really the only topic of conversation you can hear. Well, let by-gones be by-gones; the copper is gone, that's a settled fact, but We want to impress on your mind how easy it is for the manufacturer to tell to the ounce how much is missing. Some people will say, How in thun- der do they know how much is miss ing?" Such people do not know how much they themselves lose every year. The manufacturer has his scales and has every thing weighed that comes into his establishment. and if found short, you bet they refuse to pay Tor what they do not receive. It should be the principle in every household in our city; every one should have handy little scales that won't take up much room and yet do you good ser vice. If you had one you could weigh everything you purchased. If you find a shortage, just go back and de- mand your rights and then tell the fel- low who cheated you what you think of him. Let him know you are "onto' his game and you'll find at the end of the year that your scales is the best paying article in your house. Well, 1T you want just such scales we've got them, and while they last you can se- cure one with only two pounds of our warranted good Baking Powder, 4oc per pound The regular price of the scales is $1. therefore you see the bar gain you can get by purchasing your Baking Powder at

to ferry you across the river Styx, be sure to
have copy of the Posi- in your pocket or you
will wander restlessly along the shores of Acher
on for an indefinite period. If ;hismyth trouble
you ask some A. NJ. who has read the classics
to explain it to you in Dutch
But what has all this to do with the real ques-
ton at issue? The Posi- has undertaken to de-
fend in the name of the enterprising citizens of
the town the honor and character of the methods
employed in the shoe factory tomake it success
The Posi- has done it in defiance of the mos: con-
temptible exhibition of gl"ry in the shoe factory
reverses and exen if all we are charged with by
the Gasp" were true, there would still not be
one grain of reason in the vituperative fisilade
heaped upon the shoe factory.
o, you cowardly assassin, who would grope in
the dark and hurl your vemonous darts into the
bosom of Mddlelurg's only industry at time
when it is already tottering, where is your mar

|embitterments of Brutus who thrust his blade
into the bosom of Caesar and fell upon his own
sword to end his own mise strable existence.

AGUINALDo has been captured and he has

government.
Rltter's Asp makes big ado about a broken
chase and dollars worth of paper he claims
this Office owes the Asp. We believe that while
the editor of the Posi- was out in Nebraska, the
foreman of this Office borrowed an old rusty cast
iron chase which broke while traction engine
was passing the Office. We bought new steel
chase and sent it to the Asp Office. The chase
was returned as not good enough. We presume
he was looking for gold chase. We are using
the chase ourselves now. Steel chases are good
enough for this Office. Concerning the paper,
we must say that if the Asp has a bill for paper
against this Office, he has never presented it and
as the editor personally never borrowed any pap
er, he had no means of knowing that he was in
debted for any paper. Come around, Brother
Ritter, we have nice stock Of paper on hand.
We will replace all the paper we borrowed, and
we will take your word for it too, after verifying
it by consulting the person who is claimed to
have borrowed it.

You lied about your market reports when
every reader knew you lied. You lied when you
said the Posi- made protracted appeal for the
reorganization of the Republican party and
worst of all you knew you were living. You lied
about the contents ofyour letter TO Judge Dean,
you lied scandalously about the shoe factory, you
lied about the Posi- overcharging the shoe fac
tory for printing you lied about Frank Binga-
man, you lied about your old rusty broken cast
iron chase and you lied about the Posr owing
you for dollars worth of paper
What claim can you have for n respectful

Judicial pilgrim now claims he was born and
raised on farm, expecting by this To clear him
self from the ignominy heaped upon himself in
glorying in the downfall of the shoe factory
We hesitate to make any personal illusions to
oursef, but letter written in the east end of the
county was received at tins Office Saturday say
ing "In answering Pilgrim Ritter, donot over
look the fact that you too were born and raised
on farm aud have a better record for having
worked on farm than Ritter has. You plowed
day after day at the aye of ten years and made a
full hand behind the reaper binding wheat at the
age of II years." The letter needs no ocomment
from us. Examine your dusty dictionary and
get the correct definition of "moss- back"
Last week when we learned for the first time
through the Gasp" that we owed you for dol
lars worth Of paper, we inquired of every en-
ploye in the Office and no one knew that we had
ever borrowed any paper. FINAL lyw we called up
on the phone the former foreman of the Posi-.
Mr.. Shelly said that when the editor of the POST
was on his trip into Nebraska, Colorado and
other points, he Shelly got 40 sheets of paper
from Ritter and offered to pay him for it, but
the pilgrim said he would rather have the paper
The price of 40 sheets of paper was
25 cents. No bill was ever presented and no
notice came to the editor of the POsT until it
was seen in last weeks Gasp" You lying
'coundrel knew that if you presented bill, it
would be paid and in addition you knew the pa

Cincinnati, April Fair weather
prevailed in Ohio yesterday for mu.
nicipal and township elections. The
large vote for April indicated more
interest than usual in these local con-
tests. This was due to the fact that
full state ticket Is to be elected next
November, as we'll as members Of the
legislature who will choose successor
to Senator Foraker. In few localities
legislative nominations were made by
popular vote. None showed any oppo.
sition to Foraker among the Republi-
cans, and there was not enough ac-
tion to indicate any preference for
John r. Mclean, Tom l.. Johnson or
any one else as the Democratic favor.

publican city officials we're elected one

until next April, the contest in that

publicans for the past two years have
had all the city Offices. Governor Nash
and former Congressman Lentz reside
at Columbus, and both took great in
terest In the contest there. Demo-
cratic administrations were in control
at Cleveland and Springfield, where
the Republicans made hard fights to
control the political machinery of as
many cities as possible at the state
election in November. Sam Jones
made his race for the third term for
mayor Of Toledo, independent of all
parties, and on his golden rule plat
form, and was elected by good ma
jority. Tom l.. johnson, Dem, de-
feated Akers, Rep, in Cleveland, and
