OLUMBUS, March 10.-The
most important matter before
the general assembly at pres

most important matter before
the general assembly at pres
ent, at least the matter that has
come more definitely to the attention
of the legislators, is the proposed
abandonment of the canals. A special
hearing will be given in joint session
on Tuesday and the program made up
indicates that there Is going to be
much oratory. Each side of the ques-
ton is given time in which to exploit
its notions and the composite opinion
is supposed to represent the notions of
the Republicans Of the state on the
question.
sa
IN this connection the importance of
the question to Massillon and other
Stark county cities and villages cannot
be overestimated. II it were only q
question of losing some superinten-
dents who have nothing in particular
to superintend or some lock tenders
or other officials, the state could well
afford to abandon the canals. These
officials have done little or nothing to
popularize the canals and their inss-
tent demands, at times, have operated
to create feeling against these water
ways. II that were the only question,
they would be abandoned very shortly.
But the manufacturers have something
to say and as the Republican majority
already contemplates some serious as
saults on the industries of the state
in the Willis and other measures, it
is conceded that what the manufac-
turers say about this matter ought to
have some weight. To ignore them
and abandon the canals at this time
would mean the loss of thousands of
dollars and throw out of employment
thousands of men whose votes the Re-
publican party needs.
One of the best posted men on this
subject that Stark county has is James
j. Grant Your correspondent had a
talk with Mr.. Grant on the canal ques-
tion some weeks ago and he set forth
some cogent and potent arguments.
AS the people of the state may be
heard on the proposition Mr.. Grant
could do no better for his Massillon
friends and for his beloved old Beth
lehem township than to come to Col
umbrs and take some part in the dis
cussion. 1t would be worth his while,
and it would be worth the while of the
joint session to listen to him.

No attention is now being paid to
a movement to have the fund that has
been raised for a Columbus memorial
to President Mckinley diverted to the |
Canton fund. All steps that are be-
ing taken have for their object the |
location of the memorial here. There
has been but $4,000 subscribed thus
far and 1t is not thought that more
than $4,000 can be secured. The in
tention Is to make a new gateway at |
the west Of the capital grounds, oppo-
site the Neil house and In 1t have a |
bronze statue of the late president
Every person here thinks that the
best plan suggested. When Mckinley
WAS governor he passed through that
gate four times day. AS he passed
through 1t he always turned and waved
his hand and lifted his hat to his wife,
who would watch from their apart
ments in the Neil house. Memories of
cling to that entrance and 1t
Is thought eminently proper that a
suitable memorial be placed there that
his memory may be perpetuated. A

Many Columbus people who have sub
scribed to the somewhat modest local

Representative Pollock's fight for the
union label has brought him many
words of commentator from labor
leaders throughout the state. It is
conceded that, in the heat of the debate,
1t was his retort to question from
the opposition that brought the matter
to focus. Having killed it once the
Hanna following, led by Judge Com
ings, thought they had 1t out of the
way, but on the reconsideration Pol
lock threw down the gauntlet when he
said, that II was the plain proposition
of union labor or not and he wanted
the members to go on record. When
some of them remembered that Sem
ator Hanna has been making speeches
in New York telling the people how
much he loves the laboring man in
general and laboring unions in partic-
ular they thought they would better
back off so the bill passed with the as
sistance of large Democratic vote.
1t was a fair demonstration of the
innate feeling the Republican mem
bers, as a rule. have for unions. II
Senator Hanna had not been inciden-
tally trying to run for president Mr..
Pollock's measure would not have
passed the house. All are willing to
concede that Some labor leaders who
are watching events here think Pol
locks labor record in the present ses-
sion will make him formidable con-
gressional timber at some future time.
The third and twelfth districts may
yet be redistricted. The Republicans
are afraid of John ]. Lentz, particu-
larly since the primaries held in Col
umbus last Friday. The Lentz follow
ing captured about everything in sight,
and the Democratic vote that was out
was more than 5000 over that of the
week prior at the Republican primar-
ies. 1t has set some of the legislators
to thinking and as Lentz is likely to
be candidate and is good fighter
some think 1t would be a good plan
to make this district as strongly Re-
publicans as possible. Painter, the
floor leader Of the Republicans, has been
against changing Of districts but now de-
clares for change. Tn,s is taken to
mean that the Columbus and Dayton
districts are to be strengthened. With
the bars down it is not known where
the thing will stop, but it is not likely
that the eastern part of the state will
be disturbed

The scandal at the institution for
