THE COUNTY TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the re-
publicsns Of Morrow county at
the convention last Saturday Is q
strong one. 1t WAS An able BODY
OF representative men in the con-
venton. Coming from oil over
the county they had the interests
OF the whole county st heart. The
entire meeting can be recon mend
ed 10 all who favor good citizen
ship and good government. 1t is
certainly very important to the
citizens snd taxpayers who are to
represent them in conducting the
county affairs. The officers should
be men of ability and good busin-
sss qualifications. Leaving poll
tios out sll together, the GAzETTE
believes that the Republicans have
shown good judgment in placing
before the people for their consid-
erstion the men who appear on
the county ticket.
1t l. ticket that every repub-
licsn in Morrow county should
support. 1t will be sn aggrega-
ton of officials who will have sd
interest in one another, and an
interest in the welfare of the
people, so that they can work to-
gether in harmony in carefully
dlscharging the duties imposed by
the public trust. 1t is 8 ticket for
which no republican can offer a
reasonable excuse for not support
ing. The success of county ticket
OF whatever political color that may
be pat forth, depends great deal
on the personality and the CONT
dence in which the men are held
by the people generally. The
people will recognize the motives
of the Republicans Of Morrow
county in recommending the pres
ent ticket. The desire for good
men and justice and fairness Was
the unanimous sentiment of the
convention. The GAZETTE can Say
that the Morrow county Republic
al convention wss clean and
representative meeting. The Re-
publicaDs ought to win with
good majority merit June.

The increase IN the output OF
gold during the past decade has
been remarkable, and has changed
not only the commercial hut In
some degree the political face of
the world. In 1891 Australia pro-
duced of gold, in round mum bers,
$50, 900, in 1900 $4,000, 900,
Africa, 1891, sl5,OOO,0OO; 1899,
$50, 100000; America, in the same
period, increased it's output from
s45, 100000 to sl50,O0O,0OO; Asia
from t8, 100000 to 100000;
while Europe more than held its
own. The grand total shows that
while in 1891 a little less than
6,000, 900 ounce of gold were pro-
duced in the world, in 1900 over
1900, 900 ounces were produced;
the output more than doubled 10

Senator Willismsons chances
for the congressional nomination
are growing stronger. The pri-
mary elections so far in every

Morrow county Republican con-

was crushing blow to the ma

the great Tsmmany machine dom
mated every thing until the per-
nicious influence became unbear-
able and the people arose in their
might and made a clean sweep.
No matter how strong a political
combination may become, the u!-
innate result will be that it will
fall. The people of Mulnomeh

influence no longer Simon will
entirely sink into oblivion and

Reids invitation to accompany
them to King Edwards corops-
ton, and also Emperor Williams
request that she visit Berlin as his
guest ANY other course ON her
part would have been most un-
wise.
From the vlcNpoint Of our laws
the family of the President of the
United States has 10 official exist
ence. Its members have no rights
or privileges whatever above or
beyond those which are the in
heritauce Of every American ciu-
zen. They are no more apart of
the government than every citi-
zen is.
1t is impossible however, to
bring this fact TO the comprehen-
sion of Europeans with such clear
ness that they will instinctively
treat members of the Presidents
family just as they would treat
the Americans. The European
tradition that the near relatives
OF q sovereign have certain in
herent claims TO consideration is
too strong. 1t is an Inbred social
instinct which no disclaimer can
overcome.
No matter how great her desire
and her effort to be treated merely
as any American woman, Miss
Roosevelt would not have been so
received in London or Berlin.
No matter what her protestations,
Englishmen and Germans would
feel utterly unable to treat her as
they would Miss Smith of New
York or Miss Jones of Chicago,
although these young women
might be in every respect her
equals.
To the European mind the
President of the United States and
his family have something OF the
Inherent claims to consideration
conceded to European sovereigns
and their families, Since it is i'm
possible to remove this illusion
and to make Europeans under
stand our distinction between the
respect given the Office and that
given the man, it is we'll that there
should be no visiting of European
courts and no participation in
royal ceremonies by members of
the Presidents family.
Miss Roosevelt's presence at
King Edwards coronation, or her
visit to the German Emperor. in
spite of all official disclaimers and
of sll assertions that she was there
merely as a private person, would
inevitably have been construed
by all Europe as an indication OF
special friendliness Of the Presi-
dent and of this government to the
soverigns and the governments of
those countries.
! would have been construed as
a departure from our traditional
policy of equal friendship for all
foreign nations and special favors
to none, and therefore most en-
barrasiDg to this government.
President Roosevelt perceived
these facts doubtless, and gave his
decision in accordance With them
