THE four months session of the Ohio
General Assembly adjourned st noon
Monday. 1t is said there were never
80 many measures urged for passage in
: single session Important changes
were made in the taxation laws OF the
State. The measures known as the ad-
ministretion taxation bills were the
most important before that body. All
these we're made laws, and the State
levy has been greatly reduced.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has a way of
his own in saying and doing things. 1t
is not that he possesses Il high degree
of originality; rather it is the distinct
ness of his vigorous personality aud his
strai gh,forward, manly character that
gives emphasis 10 his remarks on pub
lie questions. One thing certain, Pres
ident Roosevelt is no opportunist.
When he sees the star of duty he fol-
lows where it shows the way. In the
public utterances Of the President
there is always observable a tine pro-
portion. He wastes nu lime on plati-
tudes, nor does he indulge in the vapid
and fiamboysut oratory in which some
professional politicians apparently de-
light ID revel. When he speaks he ba-
q message TO deliver, and it is spoken
forcefully and with directness, and
then he stops when ne is done.

ONE of the subtlest tests of morality
is the temptation To color ar wrest facts
in stating them Scarcely one person
in ten states facts with absolute cor
rectness and impartiality-no because
facts are not accurately known and un'
derstood, but because most OF u are
conscious of personal interest in pre-
seuting them imperfectly or in an un'
fair light. We must be brave with
facts, If we are TO be consistent Chris
tians. It is no small moral triumph II
disregard personal interest or preiu
dice and state facts exactly as they are
