1t is time for the state authorities
to take some action with reference to
the thugs that are infesting Ohio. A
gang of fifteen bank robbers invaded
an Ohio town Tuesday, and practi-
cally had things their own way. The
days of Jesse James were peaceful
when compared to the experiences OF
the citizens of small villages. A de-
termined effort should be made to wipe
out these gangs, and 1t is patent that
the town constable can't do it alone.
A well organized force Of detectives,
under the pay of the state, would do
much to alleviate the situation. They
would have no trouble getting on the
trail No attempt is being made, ap-
parently, by the robbers, to conceal It..

Defense In Thompson Case
Willing to Rest Without In

Lisbon, Nov. 13.-The state finished
its testimony In the case against DR..
Thompson, Tuesday afternoon. The
defense sprung surprise Wednesday
morning when Hon. r. w. Taylor arose
Immediately after court had opened
and said: 1--WE are content to have
the case go to the jury as 1t is without
introducing any evidence" The argu-
ments were then begun and will not be

Mayor Tom Johnson received let
ter from William ]. Bryan in which
the Nebraska leader declared that the
result in Ohio WAS due to the distress
of the silver vote in not being handled
with more gentleness at the Democrat
ic state convention. Mayor Johnson
takes issue with this proposition and
declares that the reason the Demo
Gratis were beaten so badly in the state
was because Colonel Kilbourne and
other leaders would not make the tax
alton question the real issue Of the
campaign. He points out that where
the taxation question was made n dis
tinct issue, notably in Cleveland, 1t
won handsomely. There lis much in
Mayor Johnson's contention. The
qrest'on whether the great corpora
tions holding public franchises shall
pay cnly small share of the taxes
while the poor land owner and home
den is bound to get the attention of
the people some day, and the sooner
it does the sooner it will be settled
right There is no hope that Republican
party will do ANYTHING to relieve the
conditions, so the Democratic party
will be the beneficiary when the ques-
ton is placed properly before the peo-
pie. Battles can, OF be won on the old
war issues. The younger generation
wants something more wholesome than
straw that has been threshed over so
often that 1t is in shreds. The Dem
ocratic party will win when 1t puts
forth such leaders as Johnson in the
state--men that can tell a live issue

One reason that Canton is enjoying
q boom is because the city is reached

and investors are not slow to observe
that fact. 1t means that they will not
be mulcted when it comes to a question

THE FUND GROWING
Mckinley Memorial Project
Assuming Proportions and

Coming In.

II is the determination of the pro-
jectors that the monument for the late
President Mckinley, to be located at
Canton, hall be well under way befoce
the Washington plans have made any
appreciable effect on the donations.
Work is being pushed rapidly for the
securing of subscriptions. The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer says:
"The Mckinley National Memorial
association is working under its heav-
lest pressure of steam Just at present.
From the very first there was much
interest in the object Of the association
to rear fitting tomb over the grave of
Mr.. Mckinley at Canton, and now that
the fall elections are over, the whole
country is taking up the matter. The
governors Of the various states and ter
ritories are honorary members Of this
association. AS a rule they were tied
up in campaigns, but now they are re-
leased and every day brings letters ami
kilograms from them to the secretary
in the Williamson block, assuring hin
OF their active support, and promising
large contributions from their states
Nearly all the states have been heard
from. Yesterday, kilograms Of this
encouraging nature were received from
Governors N. o. Murphy, Of Arizona;
Frank Hunt, of Idaho; w. w. Heard
Of Louisiana; Heber M. Wells, of Utah;
Reinhold Stadler, of Nevada, and Gov
ernor William Stickney, of Vermont
Each state and territory has a state
auxiliary committee, and these have
tributary associations in every COM
munity. Ryerson Richie, secretary
of the association, left for Boston yes
terday afternoon where he will be in
conference with Governor Crane, of
Massachusetts; Governor Hill, of
Maine; Colonel L. N. Dow, of Maine,
chairman of the state auxiliary COM
mittee there and son of the celebrated
Neal Dow, Governor Stickney, Of Ver-
mont; Senator Hanna, and Hon. Henry
c. Payne, of Milwaukee. The meeting
will be one of Importance, for the New
England states were always q strong

ed that they will roll up just as large q
financial majority for the memorial
in his honor as they did political ma

Billion Dollar Deposit Mark.

New York, Feb 16.-For the first time
in the history OF New York banks, the
deposits have passed the billion dollar
mark, aggregating 3l,O1l ,329,OO5. This
was the most interesting feature of this
weeks remarkable bank statement
which showed an increase of 9,333,6OO
in loans, and $16 735, 100 in deposits.
The expansion in loans was generally
attributed to payments on account OF
the steel deal. This was confirmed in
part by the statements OF banker who
eaid he had been in negotiation about
the affair, to the effect that arrange
ments to finance the operation would be
reflected in both this weeks and next
weeks bank statement.
While the money payment to Mr.. Car
negie may have been arranged through
the trust companies, or by means of
device which would not disturb the loan
account, it is pointed out that the ANAL
gimation affects the finances Of several
companies and that the readjustment,
however arranged, would surely infiu-
epce the bank showing IN some way.
Other features OF the statement were
swelling of $7,51O,175 in surplus bank
reserves and total loans OF 1914, ,233 900.

ALENGTHY WAR.
Confident Hopes of British That
II Will Soon Be Over Are
Doomed to Disappointment

London. Feb 1.-THE hopes that the
turning point OF the war in South Africa
is within sight, now permeating the edi-
torials and inspiring the markets, are
probably doomed to disappointment.
The pscification of the Beers, il ac-
complished, will be slow matter, which
decisive engagements can affect but lit
tie. The war Office expects from Gen.
Kitchener no stroke such as settled for
ever the future OF the Soudan.
The heads OF Great Britain's war de
partment scarcely know more than the
public, except that the stern laconic
commander of the troops in South
Africa is busily engaged in systematic
ing his huge forces for an extended cam
paign.
In him they trust implicitly, and no
amount OF taciturnity makes their faith
waver, though they read with regret ar
ticles leading the public to believe the
Beers are likely to be soon snutfed out
by one or several engagements.
During the months Gen. Kitchener
has had the command in South Africa he
has been applying his energies to pre-
pare for events six months ahead rather
than to dealing with the emergencies OF
the present.
The cabinet minister's believe that the
same resistless progress which comes only

But in private conversation they frank
confess that it is utterly impossible tC
speculate on the time which must elapse
before the end is achieved and it is quite
wrong to attribute undue Importance tc
isolated British victories.

HIT us HARD.
The Russian Government Retail.
ates on Us----Gage Not $50 D..
Many as tie Thought.

Washington, Feb Count Casslnie
the Russian ambassador, this afternoon
received cabegram from the Russian
foreign office confirming the report OF
the issuing of the decree imposing In
creased duties on certain American i'm
ports into Russia. and took steps to in
form the state department accordingly.
1t is realized that grave crisis has been
reached in the trade relations OF the
United States and Russia. The i'm
mediate effect of the Russian decree,
when it becomes operative on March l,
will be to increase by fifty per cent the
duty on American machinery, steel and
iron goods. These goods already enjoy
two separate reductions, 80 per cent be-
ing taken from the general and 20 per
cent from the conventional duties. The
articles retfered to in the Russian decree
are machinery and tools OF every des-
cription, manufactures OF products of
cast iron and steel. Roughly stated the
United States is said to have exported
goods of this kind to Russia last year to
the amount OF about $3O00O,O00.
The addition of so per cent to the duty
will, it is thought prove prohibitory.
The action taken today means that the
Russian government will not concern
itself with test case nor await the is
sue OF such case. However, there is
an expectation that the American i'm
portara of Ruaaiap auUar will make tha
fight on their own interest.
st. Petersburgh, Feb. 16.-The f.
nance minister, NJ De Witte has proved
his ability to hit quick and hard. He
was evidently prepared for reprisals be-
fore Secretary Gage took final action. M
De Witte sent to the senate Wednesday
for publication an order levying 30 per
cent increased duty on the most impor-
tant American imports into Russia. The
ordinance was published today in the
Official Messenger and becomes effective
March l. This action is greatly regret
ted in American circles, and Americans
anticipate much harm therefrom. We'll
informed Americans do not believe the
supreme court will sustain the claim
that Russia pays a bounty on sugar, di-
rectly or indirectly, and regard the
action taken as hasty, though not unex-
pected. 1t is believed that little harm
| would have resulted to Russian interests
| il the action OF the court had been
| awaited.

IN PITIFUL CONDITION
ENGLAND so REGARDED BY
 CABINET MEMBER.
Sir Thomas Wemyss Reir Contri- butes a Notable Article to The December Number of The
 Nineteenth Century.

London, Nov. 25.-Sir Thomas Wemyss Reid the author and editor, in an arucle entitled "A Message from America" in the December number ofiThe Nineteenth Century, will quote: "One of the most distinguished members of the Cabinet" as saying q do think you in England realize the depth of feeling that exists out ide of your own country on the sub feet of the South African war, nor the extreme gravity of the situation which that feeling has brought into existence I am not speaking of American feeling, which is largely on your side, but the more friendly we are to England the more anxious we are to see you extricat- ed from the meshes of the net in which you are now caught. It is terrible to think of the pitifulness of the whole thing and of the loss suffered by universal human ity owing to the effacement of England for two years and the consequent absence of her influence from the side of justice and progress"
 Sir Thomas further says that the member of the Cabinet in question told him that almost daily appeals were be- ing made to the government of the Unit ed States by representatives of European powers to take some step to end the war. These representations from the Ministers of the powers were made unofficially, all though the United States government we'll knew their respective governments were backing them therein.
