THE RAMBLER ON HIS RAMBLES.
IBERIA, OHIO.

July z, 1901.
Since my last l have been over in
Knox county. which joins this. MY
daughter and l went across the coun.
try in buggy. l was Judge at a W.
Z. Il. u. gold medal contest. I pre
sented the medal and spoke in the
Christian church Sunday at IL O'Clock
and in the M. E. church at night. We
passed through some of the finest coun
try ever saw, and the best crops es.
peclaily the hay crop. Wheat general.
ly was good, but corn weedy and late
on account of the exceedingly wet sea-
son. Last Sunday took dinner with
Mr.. Leverlng, whose grandfather
came to that county 100 years ago lack
ing Ii days. He entered 16 quarter Sec
lions OF government land and built and
located where l took dinner. This
quarter section of land has been IN the
possession of this old man and his de.
scendants for 100 years lacking IL DAYS.
The old hewed log house still stands
there, rotten and almost ready to tum-
Die down. Then this old man, (then a
young mani, was looked upon as rich
man, but the 1920 which 1t took to
pay for his 16 quarter sections would
not now buy so acres of the same land.
Here on this place l saw a chair and
riding whip that were more than 100
years old. One of the Leverings, liy.
ing In Lafayette, Indiana, has publish.
ed book of 500 pages, giving a history
anc the Cenea;Ogy of this famous fami.
ly in America. 1t contains more than
800 names. Politically they are, so far
as those that live here are concerned,
democrats, rellgiously they are divided
and sub divided INTO many factions.
Most of the farm houses are simply
palaces and would be credit to many
cities of 1000 to % 900 inhabitan ts. Last
Sunday evening at sun down the Their.
mometer stood at 80 degrees, but today
it is cool enough for lightIcoat. Har.
yesting wheat will begin the last of
this week. We had our first mess of
snap beans out of the garden last week.

ATTORNEY LORTON has rendered an
opinion in the county printer matter.
lie says that printer will have to
be elected this fall and every two years
thereafter. We consulted both the
county attorney and the attorney gen
eral concerning the matter and both
express some doubt, although both are
republicans. But LOTIONS decision is
final and we cheerfully throw up GU.
hands and call it good. We had hoped
that the supreme courts sustaining the
biennial election law would knock out
the Axline LortOn pet measure but
they won't have it. They are bound to
get hold OF the county printing and
keep it, without even waiting until the
lNDEX'S present contract expires. II

this is special act applying to Barber
county alone. The bill was introduced
by Senator Noftzger, q republican, and

publican governor to sign, but he per.
mltted 1T to become law without his

wrapped up in this special law, than in

Gov. Stanley has put

Gov. Stanley has put an
other construction on the law
concerning the manner in
which the county offices af-
fected by the recent law, will
be filled in 1902. He says
they will be vacant and that
he will have them all to fill
by appointment. This is a
rather strange Interpretation,
but we suppose that republi-
cans in high places can con-
strue law any way they want
tn. The statute expressly
provides that when vacan-
cies occur in the offices of
county clerk, treasurer, regis
ter of deeds, surveyor and
coroner, the commissioners
shall fill such vacancies by
appointment. The governor
appoints the sheriff. Just
how Stanley figures himself
in to appoint all these coun.
ty officers is not plain. Per.
haps he thinks it will add
strength to his senatorial
boom.

The best evidence that a
majority of the people are
simply living from hand to
mouth, while a few enjoy lux
ury beyond measure,is to hear
the lamenting that goes up
in times like the present
drouth. In Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois,
it is reported that if the
drouth is not soon broken,
thousands of families will be
impoverished. 1t will now be
in order for politicians to ex.
plain how a people could have
been enjoying such bountiful
prosperity when a single par.
tial failure of crops can pro
duce such dire distress, con.
sidering, too, that crops have
been immense in these states
for five years. The pro,
ducers. as a class, simply re-
ceive a sufficient amount fol
their products to live. A
single failure brings them
into a panic. Such a state
of affairs is neither natural
nor just.

Official Paper Of Barber County.

SINCE the decision Of the supreme
court on the biennial election law, the
people of the third district are looking
around for timber for commissioner.
The republicans have already trOtted
out four candidates. They are Uncle
Dan Pierce, Green Adams, John Lam
port and f. j. Saunders. ANY one of
them would make as good race as any
man the republicans could nominate.
Messrs. Adams and Pierce are among
the shrewdest politicians in the county
and if either of them should receive the
nomination they could build some
strong political fences which the fusion
boys would find it difficult to break
down. Messrs. Saunders and Lamport
have not gained so much political fame,
but they are also capable of mixing
some medicine. The Populists and
democrats are very quiet and so far the
name Of no candidate has reached us.
Hon. Henry G. Walker, the present
chairman OF the Board, has the honor
Of representing that district now. This
year will complete his second term,
having each time been elected over the
strongest man the republicans could
find In the district. His official record
is one in which all citizens of the coun-
ty take pride. He has always made it
point to deal out justice and unlike
many others, he has never permitted
politics to influence his judgment. lie
is not candidate for denomination in
the strict sense of the word but he is in
position where he cannot we'll refuse
If the people of the district insist on his
services for another term. Personally
he does not enjoy the sponsibilities
which commissioner must assume,
yet he is always ready to bow to the
will of his constituents. 1t is a very
difficult matter for commissioner to
give universal satisfaction, yet it seems
as though Mr.. Walker has steered
away from public Indignation more
successfully than any commissioner the
county has yet had. That he has made
some mistakes, he freely admits, and
his frank admissions are All element of
strength. Whether Mr.. Walker, be-
comes candidate or not, he has the
satisfaction of having done his duty
well and he carries with him the respect
and confidence of all the people of Bar
Der county.

Concerning the building of new
bridges the Cresset says:

Concerning the building of new
bridges the Cresset says:
| The recent session of the board OF
| county commissioners contracted fol
the building OF six new bridges at an
aggregate cost of nearly six thousand
| dollars. Last year when the board was
republican the Index severely criticised
1t for using the peoples money to bulid
bridges and characterized the republl.
can members as the next thing to high
way robbers. The present board, which
is democratic. has outdone the republi-
can board In bridge building but we do
not believe they made the contracts for
the purpose OF robbing the county. We
give them credit, as we claimed credit
for the republican board, for recOgniZ-
ing these bridges as public necessity.
This IS merely one point where the pol
icy OF the Cresset differs from the pol
icy Of the Iudex.
We challenge the Cresset or anybody
else to show us single line in which
we criticised the republican Board for
building bridges last year or any other
year. The INDEX has never at any
time opposed the building of good SUBJ
stantial bridges. There is no excuse
for misrepresentation in this matter
We did criticise the republican admin
istration for unnecessary extravaganza
such as the Kiowa bridge suit. the
Mills (politicaD tax case and many 9TH
ers, but never did we oppose the build
Ing of good bridges. Our files are free.
ly open to any person who desires to
attempt to prove the Cresset's state
ment. We do say, however, that years
ago when these bridges were built there
was big fraud perpetrated on the
county. The contractors were ire
sponsible and put up shabby, inferior
bridges. The Boards action now, as
we'll as that of the Board last year, in
contracting for substantial bridges
meets the approval of everybody.
The Cresset is the first paper in Bar.
Der county that has ever attempted to
make political thunder out of bridge
building. 1t will not attempt to prove
its bold, ineXcusable assertions, but,
as usual, 1t mus: silently confess that
it has given voice to another brazen
falsehood. We leave it to its own
shame.
