banquet Of the Garfield club in the
following entertaining way:
Plates for 425 were put down for
the Garfield club feasters in expecta-
ton.
The number in attendance was 240.
Where were the other 1S5 loyal,
true, vociferous and faithful?
The Anderson push was hardly visl-
bic even in the most shadowy way.
Even the Hon. A. w. Jones was non
est, which is Latin for not in It.
One Of the Loyalists at the feast said
that Jones had gone out to his farm
to bore into the hollow horn Of one of
his yearlings and pour in some tur-
pentine.
Another gentleman said the ex-lieu-
tenant Governor was up home study
ing a book devoted to the mound
builders and cliff dwellers.
Be that as 1t may, 1t is certain that
the tables suggested the situation In
the Bible when the guests didn't come
and the beard was finally surrounded
by the halt, blind and lame picked up
in the byways and in the highways.
With such eminent gentlemen as
Dick and young Garfield in attendance,
the hall should have been crowded,
should have brought a premium,
whereas they were at discount and
drug on the market at that price.
And to make 1t worse was the way
the Republican paper locally handled
and snubbed the fine function. That
paper didn't consider the matter so
important as the Allen murder trial,
hiding the report under an ordinary
display head on the seventh page and
not having solitary illustration to
break the monotony Of solid type. So
far as the Republican daily was con-
cerned, the banquet was the item of
the day, and by 1t should have been
first-paged under extraordinary head
lines. 1t Is possible that Mr.. d. #.
Anderson acted as managing editor
over there yesterday and sldetracked
the rather meagre report. 4
The Akron BenconsJ ouriial, the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and even the
Warren Daily Chronicle made better
display of the blowout than the local
daily, which was evidently very sore.
The Akron B. j. threw 1t up ON the
first page for four columns under gl.
guntlc heads and had four and a half
columns on page six. The Plain
Dealer gave the matter the most con.
| spicuous place on the first page and
the Chronicle threw in some good cuts
| along with It's detail.
The way the local paper snubbed
the sworen was an insult to injury.
Some gentlemen complained about
the food, though it Is ten to one that
at home, instead of having quail on
toast, Roman punch. etc, they live
on beer and liver and onions. Some
men seem to hold that 1t is an evidence
Of culture, good breeding and world
wide travel to never be satisfied and
always be critical.

The banks are not so much interest
ed in the tariff ns in some other taxes,
says the Springfield Republican.
They will work together Mt the com
ing session of Congress to secure the
repeal of the war taxes on banking
capital and surplus and the taxes on
new Issues of securities and transfer
of gold. The American Bankers AS
socintion, at lis annual meeting last
month, unanimously voted to present
such II request at Washington, and
banks not in the association are join
Ing hands In the matter. They are
asked also to join the association, and
many are doing 80. The association
already embraces over $500 banks and
trust companies, and should thu,
prove tremendous power with Con
gress.

LOOKING FOR A PROMISE.

(From the Youngstown Vindicntor)
Tuesday, the day of the Republican
banquet in this city, or, more proper
ly, the day when 1t was expected that
General Dick of Akron the Nineteenth
District Congressman, would launch
his boom for Governor, the Akron
Democrat settled down to some specu-
latl0n as to what would be said at
the gathering of notubles, the chosen
of the party. 1t finally concluded that
1t would look with interest-and be
surprised to hear it--for one promise
of progress outside the commercial

Ion that 1t would be seen whether the
present day actors would rise to the
level of the day they celebrated.
BY this time it has, perhaps, read
the accounts of what was said at the
banquet In Youngstown. General Dick
rend carefully prepared paper IN
which he reviewed pretty much of the
worlds history, beginning with the
time when Moses led the children of
Israel up out Of Egypt to the promised
land To be sure, there was an object
In calling the attention of the ban
queters to the leadership of Moses,
who was the greatest leader of men
of his, or, perhaps, any other time in
the history Of the world, but the gem
eral with the boom failed to note in
the Republican gathering--and the
failure to do so Is almost ineXcllsa-
bic because politicians are not expect
ed TO know too much of Holy Writ
that although great leader of men,
Moses only got view of the land
of promise and did not enter in For
anything else of promising nature

search the record of the banquet pro.

being surprised or shocked beyond
