Talks and Tales" is an interesting
feature of the Springfield Press-Repub-
lie. II is breezy, well written stuff.
Auditor Reed will observe that the
Honorable Tom l.. johnson Is about to
secure some more notoriety.

Promoters are peculiar people. II
they cant get what they want they
try to keep other people from getting
1t, instead of going ahead and promot-
ing something else.
Dowie says he is the Prophet Elijah,
returned to earth. Il doesn't make
much difference what he says he is. It's
what fellow really is that counts
nowadays.
When the $4,000 bond issue went
through, the Graham bridge went with
it. That is just what it was said would
happen. Auditor Reed blocked the
bridge scheme for time, but when it
interfered with his pet scheme to get
more money for the county to spend
he backed off. This is where the Hon.
orable ]. B. Summer proved his right
to the title Of boss.

Walls from Carroll county are not
given serious attention. That county
had an opportunity to have judge
and didn't embrace 1t. There is no ex
cuse now for the play that is being in
dulged in. Carroll has forfeited what
ever right it had in the premises. It
may lust as we'll decide that 1t will get
nothing hereafter, unless from the
other side of the political fence. The
lack of sense that has been shown by
the average Carroll county voter in
the past, however, leaves little to hope
in that direction.
Editor w. T. Cutshall, OF the New
Waterford Magnet, has shown most
commendable enterprise and capacity
for hard work, in a special industrial
edition OF the Magnet, just off its
presses. The edition would be credit
able to a much larger town, and sets
forth the advantages accruing to the
place in which it is printed. The coun
try weekly has it's place in journalism
and the Magnet has shown it's ability
to fill its niche successfully. Under
it's title the Magnet has for years
printed: "A newspaper that attracts
the home circle" In other words, the
paper does not only go to the home
circle but brings the home circle to
it. The edition just issued gives evi
dence that the claim may also be made
with reference to the business circle

Among other inducements to make
people to move to their town, the Can
ton newspapers are advertising large
crop of brutal murders.-Wooster Re-
publican.
Some things that happen in and
about Canton are, of course, deplorable
but that is one of the penalties Of great
ness. We have, unfortunately, our flu.
share of murders, but they are done by
only the very cleverest men in theil
line, and like in all really great cities
the murderers usually get away. Ther

It is not the ordinary killing that oc

power of resistance offered by the Starl
