For Clay.

Ordinarily the Forum does not
express preference for candidates
for county Offices. However, in
the contest for Representative in
the present campaign we feel more
than justified in advocating the re.
election of Hon. Rhodes Clay.
The editor Of this paper, who
spent practically all the time of
the last Legislature at LETTERS ON
City, had occasion and opportuni-
ty to observe the acts and record
Of Mr. Clay in that body. 1t was
but Il short time after the begin
ming of the session until he took
the front rank among the leaders
Of the House, and he soon became
one of its most influential mem
bers. BY his constant attention
to duty, his hard fight against the
lobby, his untiring efforts in the
interest of the people, his bold
and eloquent advocacy of all good
legislation, he endeared himself to
every honest member of that body
and won the applause and appro-
baton of the Democratic press of
the State,
With others he made the fight
for the six per cent interest bill,
the two-cent railroad fare, the
onc-third reduction in express and
freight rates, the reduction of
stock yard charges, and was sue
cessful in passing this in the
House, but which was afterwards
defeated in the Senate.
lie earnestly advocated the bill
taxing franchises, and strongly
opposed the appropriation for the
State fair,
He was the author of the Con-
stltutional Amendment placing all
State taxes ON corporations and
leaving the real and personal prop
erty to be taxed only for county
purposes, and i'll opposition to the
lobby secured its passage thru the
House, but which afterwards met
death in the Senate. This measure
was thought by many to be the
most important one before the
last legislature, and has since been
Endorsed by Gov. Nash in his re-
commentator to the Ohio legis-
laturc, and also by the National
Industrial Commission appointed
by Congress.
Mr.. Clay's record is without a
blemish. We think merit should
be rewarded. He deserves re-
nomination at the hands of the
Democratic voters of Audrain
county, and the Forum will use all
honorable means to that end. Far
Der Forum.

Public Ownership.

HERE is question that is be.
ginning to interest every State of
the Union, and especially every
important city the country over
The February magazines were
unusually prolific in articles on
municipal and government owner
ship. Among the most interest
ing is one in the Worlds Work
outlining the views of Tom John.
son, Mayor of Cleveland. O., on
the city ownership of street rail
ways.
Ultimately" to quote from the
article, Mr.. johnson thinks the
street railways should be free.
Years ago toll roads were almost
universal, and the highways of
the country were INSTRUCTED by
keepers, who exacted tax for
permission to use them. Adyanc-
ing civilization has seen this abol-
ished. So, as time goes on, the
railways will be maintained and
supported by public taxation rs II
means of facilitating transit thru
the community. They are but
part of the highways, an Access
sorry, existing for the same pur-
pose as the streets themselves"
Prof. Frank Parsons of Boston
university has an article in the
Arena laying down the proposition
that the telegraph and telephone
belong properly to the postof1ice
system.
AS to the greater economy of
government ownership, Prof. Par
sons says: when England took
over the telegraph the government
reduced the rates at once from 30
to 80 per cent, and afterward the
postal telegraph made further
reduction of nearly one-half in the
average charge per message"
Comparing telegraph charges in
the United States with those in
England, Germany and France,
where the telegraph is owned by
the government, Prof. Parsons
says: "Our rates are more than
double. The ordinary minimum
is twenty-five cents, against twelve
cents in Great Britain, Germany,
Norway and Sweden and ten cents
in France, Belgium and Austria. /"
Why should people in Mexico
scare at this question when it is
brought home to them3 The pub
lie school is public ownership, the
Court House property and county
government is public ownership,
and if the system should be cX-
tended Il little to include other
enterprises in which the public is
interested who would be hurt?
We do so like to worship at the
shrines of old idols is all that is
keeping back the principl Of pub
lie ownership in the municipality
and in the State.

The Globe Democrat says that
"Cuba's great opportunity" is at
hand; since the Republican ma

for annexation. Yes, this has

the Cubans.
