CANTON is in the thick Of an argu-
ment about its city court. The court
has been in existence, but has not
been active and has been presided
over by a Judge who gave the use of
his name without compensation with
the understanding that he would have
no duties TO perform. 1t is now pro-
posed to make the court an active one
and an election will be called to decide
whether q Judge will be chosen at a
salary of 81, 500 per year. 1t is ex-
Pected that the court would then cost
from 81, 900 to $4,000 per year &C
cording to different estimates, and
the argument is whether it is worth
while. Under the state law such
city court is given jurisdiction simply
over the territory in the corporate
limits, but is empowered to adjust
property rights, redress wrongs or
punish criminals. 1t is held that
many cases now decided in county or
circuit court could be tried in the
city court with great saving of cost
to the ligitants.

CORPORATIONS whose tax valuations
Mayor Tom johnson has raised can
carry their cases to the state board of
revision. composed of the governor,
state auditor and attorney general.
This would add zest to a campaign
which promises to be unusually tame.
1t would also show that Tom knew
what he was at when he forced those
tax planks into the platform. Will
some democratic corporation take the
steps necessary to make the tax
planks the issue?-Cleveland Press.

To BOOM TEDDY.

This is the beginning of the end
ing. A Teddy Roosevelt Club" has
been organized in Kansas City. The
object OF this remarkable organiza-
tion is the espousal Of the cause OF
Fed for the presidency in 1904. The
Job will be a difficult one. Teddy's
pyrotechnic tactics during the cam
paign Of 1900 were productive Of little
more than dislike for him. and he
was elected in the avalanche engi-
neered by the trusts. AS Mr.. Bryan
SAYS. Mark Hanna is the most logical
candidate for the rePu blican presi-
Dental nomination IN 1904 After
three or four more years of oppres-
sion by the trusts that big ele.
ment which the trusts control with
their millions will have the nerse to
hold up Hanna and say, 1--WE are foI
him for president" HaDna's trust
friends have millions enough. and
will easily be able to control the re
publican convention in 10 l. 1t will
be a simple thing for Hanna to get
the nomination if he so desires
Teddy stands not the ghost of show
as ne, though catering to the trusts
when he gets a chance, can't show
money enough and cannot sho " close
enough relationship with the trusts
Nevertheless. this is the beginning
of the ending Of the rePu blican party
A movement is on foot to continue in
power the ring that holds sway al
present. Three more years of such
oppression as we have today will have
taught the people of this nation q
great moral lesson. There is every
reason TO believe that if the democrat.
choose . good platform and nominate
a man even half so conspicuous and
as true to his party and his party's
principles as William Jennings Bcyan,
the democratic candidate will win a
sweeping victory.

The Daily Short Story
The Face of a Marquise.


at the masquerade a marquise OF the
time of Louis XIV fitted by Julian
Chestwick and disappeared in the
throng. He haunted the rooms like an
unquiet spirit all the evening, until peo-

Because l love somebody else"

Julian looked awkward. He could
not very we'll say "a face" so he said
nothing at all. and I'm consequence
thereof his uncle went home in a pas

Miss Pearlfield married somebody
else, and Julian Chestwick worshiped
at the shrine OF the oval face, content
ed with its remembered smiles as they
haunted his dream.

himself. land until then l will wait"
When Field Pakenham invited him

New York his chances of realizing the
dream of his lifetime were as five TO
