Discovered at Last.

The Salem Daily News and other,
Republican organs. who see danger Oh
defeat for Candidate James Kennedy,
of Youngstown, have made great
discovery. After perusing an editorial
in the News Democrat, they turned on
the X-ray of their intellects and dis-
covered Democratic scheme. 1t Is
to nominate Democrat for congress
who has been endorsed by the union
labor organizations of the district.
This is a great discovery. Their IN
sight is something marvellous. They
are worthy Of being classed sleuths Oh
soothsyers. To back up their declara-
ton they quote the News-Democrat as
saving that the candidate who is to
be nominated is a Democrat They
know It because the Democratic pa
pers came out and said so, yet they
claim the credit for the discovery.
Just a moment. In coalition OF the
laboring classes with the Democracy,
what could be better recommenda-
tions than the fact that the prospec-
tive candidate was leader in labor
circles, one who had the confidence or
the unions, and that he was also a
Democrat? Is 1t expected that the
Democratic papers would come out
and urge a candidate because he was
a Republican, a Prohibitionist or q
Socialist?
It. J. Duffy, of East Liverpool, has
every quality that would make him ac-
ceptable to both classes. He Is first
and foremost and above all loyal and
devoted to the interests of union Ia
bor. He is secretary Of the Master
Brotherhood of Operative Potters OF
American. In addition to that he Is
a Democrat. What could be more
fitting than the uniting of the labor
ing classes and Democracy on a man
with such qualifications?
There has been no effort to deny
that he is q Democrat or to even in
innate that he is weak-kneed mem
Der Of the party. A weak man is often
wanted by fusionists, but not when
both parties are in earnest and desire
the good of the people whom the
candidate may represent.
Mr.. Duffy would represent labor
and the Democracy by demanding the
overthrow of the trusts that are en-
shaving labor and holding up the
poorer classes as a highwayman does
his victims. There would be less
government by ,injunctiens for the
rich and none for the poor, If such
men as Duffy had hand in the max
ing of laws in this country. There
would be some recognition of the
masses, some consideration for those
who create the wealth and get little
for it, IL the principles Of Democracy
and the union laborers were engrafted
into the laws of the land.
No one is denying Duffy's Democ-
racy. No one is claiming that he is
not a friend of labor. He is both,
and therefore should be acceptable to
both parties. He is the very man upon
which a conservative and honest un-
ion Of forces could be made.

Trouble For Kennedy.

Trouble stares Judge Kennedy, Of
Youngstown in the face in the shape
Of the probable congressional can-
didacy of Mr.. Duffy of East Liverpool.
the -mogul Of the pottery unions. In
East Liverpool, Mr.. Duffy, If he be-
comes an active candidate for the elec-
ton, will be strong. All there is in
that municipality, besides potteries,
could be put in a peck basket, figura-
lively speaking and even. in Youngs-
town Mr.. Duffys candidacy would ap-
peal strongly to the union labor vote.
In Canton the situation is the same.
In fact, all through the district there
are men who would not regret an op-
portunity to vote for the prospective
East Liverpool candidate, and though
ii is far too early to hazard any pre-
diction, it is evident. even at this
time that Judge Kennedy has discov-
cred that the route of the politically
ambitious man is not strewn with
buttercups, and sweetpeas. = Akron

An Awkward Situation.

We may applaud the gallantry OF
the st. Louis judge who holds that a
woman may kiss any man that she
wants to kiss, but there is reason to
feel apprehensive of some possible re-
suits Of the decision. 1t might be awk-
ward, for example, if gentleman
should be seized upon and oscu,ated
by an entire stranger just as his wife
came around the corner. What would
the learned judge recommend in such
a situation?-Chicago Chronicle.

News and Comment
harvest Hands .od Tee.hers.

Out in Nebraska they are paying $3
a day for harvest hands, board and
washing included, while school teach
ers receive $50 a month and board
themselves.
The Nebraska state school superin-
tendent says that no one teaches n
country school in that place unless he
needs the money, Sons and daughters
of farmers are so well provided for
that they do not have to teach school.
Nebraska farmers think more Of
their hay and wheat than they Go Of
the education of their children, at
least they are willing to pay double
the money Tor the care OF the one
than of the other.
But Nebraska is no worse in this re-
spect than other states. It Is simply
used as an example, because the state
superintendent has brought 1t to pub
lie attention. Here in Ohio in many
of the country districts $40 q month Is
all that is paid to teachers and this
for only six or eight months of each
year.
But at that, the country districts are
not far behind the ward schools of the
cities. Your richman pays his coach
man as much each month as the city
pays the teacher Of his children. but
this same rich man gives r,ore atten-
tion to the work of the coachman than
he does to the work of the teacher OF
his children. He is particular to see
that his horses are well grcomed for
the drive along the fashionable streets.
but he is less careful to the proper
grooming of his children for the race
over life's highway.
And so, after all, Nebraska is not to
be too severely censured. She is prob
ably doing as well as her sister states.

Shortsighted Police.

OnOTtStgHtcu SOuCc'
That the police cannot discover any
of the gambling resorts that line the
downtown streets of Chicago is a
growing wonder among citizens to
whom the existence Of gambling has
long been known. There are scores of
gambling houses in the heart Of the
city and from there they radiate
throughout the south, west and north
sides.
On State street there are gambling
rooms by the dozen, many of them
having been in existence for years.
Besides the cardrooms the city is full
of hand book and pool rooms. Hun
dreds of saloons and cigar stands are
used as blinds" for the men who re-
ceive bets on the races, who conduct
their business with the same immuni-
ty accorded the keepers Of cardrooms
and crap games.
The gamblers conducting cardrcoms
use the word Club" to designate
their establishments. This Is a time
honored custom. In the free and easy
mountain mining towns gambling
hall Is called CLUB" It is the same
in free and easy Chicago" But in
Chicago the name has a severe and
dignifying sound. 1t Is the buckIer
with which a gambler covers his
breast when confronting the police,
and the latter are not hard to con-

Sherlock Holmes Reward.

AT the last meeting of the Authors
club in London, the special guests
were the men of letters who had re-
ceived the honor of knighthood in the
distribution of coronation prizes. Dur
ing the course of the evening, DR.. A.
Conan Doyle (who, though he accept
ed the title of sir knight, prefers
to be known as heretofore) told the
assembled company an amusing story
as to the manner in which he was
informed of the coronation honor. He
received q bill from his gunsmith, q
sober and respected London trades
man, addressed to "Sir Sherlock
Holmes" The author was exceeding
ly indignant and wrote to say that
henceforth he Wpuld withdraw his
custom from the firm. The next
msrning, when he entered the hall Of
his hotel, he saw the most melancholy
man he had ever seen in his life.
The man approached him and said: if,
81 am the unfortunate man who
wrote the letter. 1t was l, sir, who
made out the bill"
And then the man assured tho
author that he had done so in perfect
good faith, that he had always under
stood that when gentlemen took titles
they changed their names, and that
he had seen in an evening paper that
DR.. Conan Doyle was going to take
the title of Sir Sherlock Holmes. Dr.
Doyle promptly requested the firm to
reinstate the unhappy clerk, saying
that he forgave him and thought they
could do as much.-McClure's Maga-

Happy Republicans.

Mr.. Watterson's dislike for Grover
Cleveland is so great that he has no
hesitation in saying that as between
him and Mr.. Roosevelt he would vote
for the latter. There is reason to be-
lieve that there are many other DEM
ocrats Of the same opinion.
On the other hand, there are DEM
ocrats who are so much opposed to
Mr.. Bryan that as between him and
Mr.. Roosevelt they would prefer Mr..
Roosevelt.
Unless all appearances are deceit
full majority of the Democrats OF
the country are more inclined to vote
for Republican than they are to vote
for some Democrats.
This is a delightful conditions of
affairs for Mr.. Roosevelt and for the
Republicans generally. II they can
manage to preserve the status quo
they will not be called upon to over
tax themselves in the next presidential
campaign. Democrats who cannot toll
crate each other are not likely to be
very troublesome to anybody but
themselves. = Chicago Chronicle.

Is Anxious to Please Majority Of

Mr. f. Il. Wheaton, of Washington

rived in the city this morning from At

vesiigate only these, however. and says
that ANYTHING in the way of land that
any citizen has to offer will be inspect-
ed with due consideration. What the

Wheaton to a Republican re-
rCrter, lis to find out how things are
going, and what the majority of the
people want l have only one idea in
selecting a site, and that is to get What
the people want. The business and So
cial side are considered, however, in
the selection. We aim to put the build
ings where they are convenient to bus
mess men, and we also like to have the
location such that ladies and children
do not have to pass a row of saloons.
In my opinion l think this city has
made !, sad mistake in the location of
its new library. Really. however, the
matter of location is not such an i'm

maintains it does not make so much

The Mason City Globe-G Gazette de-
Votes considerable space to the initial
sermons of Dr. r. w. Parsons, printing
/ in connection with the sermon a half

paper says:
Rev. r. w. Parsons preached his

delighted a large congregation. The
sermon in the morning was from the
short text, And a certain man had
two sons, and from this developed in
ia most interesting manner the theme the
Brotherhood of Cod
Rev. Parsons is certain of a rapidly
growing congregation for he gives his
hearers something to think about on a
line that is somewhat different from the
usual sermoniZer His creed is broad
but in all he says there is not a suspi-
cion of heterodoxy and he believes
thoroughly in the Bible and its utter
ances. There is about his thought and
his doctrine however. the goodness of
heart and the kindness of spirit and
the charity for the fallen which marked
the preaching and the acts Of the Man
of Galilee. Rev. Parsons in many re-
spects is a phenomenal preacher He
generally talks a half hour-thirty-f five

LEeRAND RAoD CASE SETTLED.
Supervisors and Those Wanting Road
Arrive at Happy Solution of the
PcphIepo

The LeGrand road case. which has
been before the board of supervisors for
several months, was settled once and
for all time TO come at the Tuesday af-
temoon session of the board. The pc
titioners for the road have decided to
pay to G.. r. Kirby of this city S143 for
rights to use portions of his land in lie
Grand township. and with that the
county will open the road. The thor
oughfare in question is the completion
of one started some time ago between
LeGrand and Quarry. There is a dis
tance of about forty rods to complete,
because of the Northwestern Railway
Company refusing to allow the road
built over it's land. 1t was the original
intention to come straight west and
have the road near the Quarry depot.
but now it will be necessary to jog
north two and one half or three rods
and come diagonally northwest past the
depot to the north side. The LeGrand
people are the anxious ones for the
proper road between the two towns. for
the LeGrand depot is so far out of town
that it is is Il great deal more conveni-
ent. in coming from Marshalltown by
rail. to buy tickets only to Quarry, and
nearer this route to many I.eGrand
homes than ii is to go to the LeGrand
station and then travel by bus to
town.
There were Il great many witnesses
before the board to show why the road
should be opened Hiram Hammond
was the chief champion of the cause, as
he is financially interested in the
scheme. besides having the interest of
the patrons of the road at heart. Mr..
Hammond himself put 500 into the
road when it was first commenced, and
it has been money practically thrown
away for the past two years, as the
road. uncompleted, benefited no one.
The supervisors are very glad that
the matter has been settled, as the
problem has been bothering them for
some time.
