Ohio Politics,

Ohio is a great state. She is state Of
strenuous politics. The people not only take
an interest in politics, but keep 1t up the
whoIe@Sear round. There are practically
no off years in the buckeye commonwealth.
Every election is an important one. The
politician who relaxes his strenuosity is lost.
The pace is hot, but it pays The long list
of national prizes won by Ohieahs supports
the assertion Counting General Grant,
who was born within her borders she has
given to the country four Presidents in
less than forty years. besides many cabi-
net officers and federal judges and foreign
ministers. None OF her sister states can
match her record within the time mention
ed, If at ALL
This spirit pervades both parties. A few
days ago the Burton episode was chron-
icled. 1t was appraised as likely to lead
to so serious division in the republican
party that success in the fall elections
might be imperiled. Special messengers
left by special trains to confer with the
disgruntled statesman. He was to be
prayerfully, Iahored with, and il possible
coaxed back into the middle of the road 1t
might be that the services even of Mr..

mony and save the day, And SO on

The Special Mesa &c.

The President in his special message puts
the case Of Cuba in unanswerable form. We
owe to the island the terms proposed. 1t
would he our duty to grant them even at
some expense to ourselves But no cX-
ptnse attaches. Our interests no less than
Cuba's will be advanced by uniting the TWO
governments in bonds of, special trade ar
.rangements. We have many things that
Cuba needs, and have need of the things
that Cuba offers for sale. We are respon-
sibIe for the conditions which force her TO
turn to us for assistance. and therefore
doubIy bound to heed her appeal. To deny
her would be an act of shortsight"dness
and bad faith. To grant her wish will be
to put the capstone on the monument We
have erected to the friendship of the two
peoples.
The beet sugar men cannot in the face
of the record sustain their invocation of
protection. Their industry is not threat
ened with destruction. We have their own
admission that the American beet sugar
product can stand the cut proposed on Gu
ban sugar. But for that matter. their ed
mission Is not necessary to justify the prop
osition under discussion. Mr.. Mckinley was
proteCtionist. and he favored it. His sue
cessOr is a protectionist. and he favors it
Are there better protectionists in the ranks
OF the beet sugar men than the greatest
American apostle Of protection and the man
who is worthily wearing his mantle?
Chatter about the sugar trust still con-
tinues. Shall the fact that that organiz3-
ton manages in some way to adjust its
sails to every wind that blows defeat n
measure drawn in the interests of all? Shall
the Congress of the United States resolve
Itself into the committee of the whole for
no other purpose than to put the sugar
trust In hole? Is not that body charged
With higher and broader duty than that?
Besides, is 1t not a fact that the sugar
trust is much interested in beet sugar in
this country as in cane sugar in Cuba? The
charge has been made. and is worthy of
consideration.
1t is suggested in some quarters that the
President is not playing good politics. The
best politics in a case where politics has
properly no place is a course of rectitude
and plain duty. That course the President
is pursuing. and in that course all of his
party friends would do well to follow him.
beet sugar combination with low tariff
advocates Is at least amusing

heard in the democratic territory and an
explosion took place there. MT. Mclean
and his rival Mayor johnson of Cleveland,
had different views about organizing the
democratic state convention. They coIlided

majorities. won. We have in the affair
the reminder that there is vigorous fac
tional fighting in the democratic party as in
the republican party, and the suggestion
that 1t is too soon to predict which VIII
suffer most from it In November.
And yet this Is one of the legitimate fruits
of strenuous politics. Rivals are raised up,
and rivals worthy of the name are watch
full and untiring. 1t is good to keep the pool
well stirred. Stagnation is dangerous to
health The people OF Ohio are benefited
indeed, by the activities of the Hanna fac
ton and the Foraker faction on the one
side. and by the Mclean faction and the
Johnson faction on the other. Upsets may
now and then take place. but indifference
Is made impossible, and it is from indifter-
erce on the part of the people now and
then that the woes in many of the states
have issued

Flag Day.

Flag day has become established as a
national institution. 1t does not call for a
general suspension OF activities. as does a
legal holiday. 1t leads TO no relaxation
from labor. 1t is signalzed chiefly by a
more abundant display of national en-
blems, with here and there some appro-
pirate ceremonies conducted by patriotic
organizations. The public schools. how
ever, mark the occasion by exercises which
indicate that the foundations of flag rever-
ence are laid deep down in the civic estab-
lishment. Love for the flag inculcated in
the child is likely to become a practical,
enduring sentiment in the man and the
woman.
The flag is the symbol of power. principle
and nationality. 1t stands for the sacri-
fees of past generati tons and the hopes of
the present. 1t was conceived in revolu-
tion and perpetuated in civil war. 1t has
been carried now to far distant lands,
where ii floats the sign of progress and
peace, civilization and wider opportunities.
There are those who would interpret the
stars and stripes. from a narrow prejudice,
as the banner of oppression and retrogres-
sion in the Philippines They have mis-
conceived the purpose of the American ex-
pansion movement. and have sought by
their actions TO produce the results they
have falsely attributed to the government.
The President declares that the 'f1ag
shall stay put in the Philippines. His
sentiment and purpose have been echoed
and appIauded by the people without re-
gard for party. section or class The re-
dictionaries. the qubblers. the Little Amer
leans. will not sway the sentiments of the
millions opposed to them in sustaining the
principles for which the flag floats. in
whatever quarter of the world.
Flag day means more now than it did
when the occasion first became established.
1t reaches the understandings of more mil
lions. May the day speed when there will
be no demur to the proposition that the
banner now exalted by the tribute of this
nation floats everywhere a sign of
peace. beneficent government. wise admin
istration and fair opportunities for all.

as possible upon the present taxpayers.
IT Is evident that the committee anticipates
that there will be a surplus of revenue re-
sulting from the increased taxation There
should be some clearly defined sinking fund
plan for repayments. to prevent the COM
piete absorption of the surplus within the
fiscal year or the complete repayment of
the advance within one or two years.
Otherwise the present sudden and large in
crease in the tax burden will result in a
permanent weight upon the shoulders of
the people. after fine emergency for which
that weight was increased has passed.
If the federal loan is to be repaid in
short order the tax increases should be put
distinctly upon a temporary basis. When
the extraordinary sums for permanent bet
terments are stricken out of the bill when
the provisions for bridges, sewers. build
iTgs, filtration and the like, all to be classed
as works for the benefit of pOsteFisy as well
as the present generation, are eliminated.

point at which it can be comfortably met
