HIS HANDSFUL
Col. French Has Several
Suits on Hand.
R|CHLAND-M MAHON|NG
Sues Barberton, Akron g. East
ern For 100000 Damages
--locai Railway
Notes.

Suit has been brought by the Rich
land and Mahoning railway company
in the common pleas court at Akron
against the Barberton. Akron and
Eastern railway company for 100000
damages. The president Of the Ma
honing and Richland is Colonel c. w.
French, who is also president Of the
Canton Belt Line railway, as well as
the Akron Belt Line company, which
is also suing Charles ID. Crouch and
the Barberton, Akron and Eastern for
$4,000 damages.
Crouch is vice president and gem
eral manager Of the Barberton, Ak
ron and Eastern and the charge made
is that he has in his possession plans,
profiles and estimates belonging to
the Richland and Mahoning and Akron
Belt line roads and that he converted
them to the use of the Barberton road
for the purpose of hindering, delaying
and preventing the plaintiffs from
building the proposed lines of railway.
It Is alleged that the Barberton, Ak
ron and Eastern railway company has
planned to build a road over the same
route proposed by the Akron Belt line
and by means of the plans, profles,
etc, of the latter company, which are
alleged to have been in Crouch's pos
session.
Both suits allege that Crouch and
the Barberton, Akron and Eastern
railway company have unlawfully
combined and conspired to prevent the
plaintiff company from constructing
its proposed railway.

GERMANY AND GREAT BRITAIN.

Jus. as the German Emperor Is making special
overtures of friendship to the United States Govern
iuent the strained relations between Germany and
England become more apparent through the sensa-
tional editorial in the London Times, calling national
German press.
There is 4 distinct Il not Immediate peril of war
In the present condition of English and German pub
lie sentiment. The German newspapers have I'M
Guestionably insulted the English with peculiar and
deliberate venom. The action Of the Times in en-
couraging English resentment is ominous. With the
two peoples hating one another, their Governments
will find a tremendous difficulty in preventing 4 CON
fict.
The greatest promise of continued peace is found
In the fact that England is not prepared for war.
This truth is indicated in the protest against the
Times editorial made by other London newspapers.
They deplore the action of The Thunderer'' in thus
creating the likelihood of war with Germany ut such
a moment. "Are our publicists dcad:' asks the Lon
don Star. Gan they not see the abyss toward which
they are bounding this nation:"
This sounds like the protest Of one who recognizes
England's unpreparedness for a resort to arms. But
II is also the utterance of one who knows that the
English people will be made ripe for a fight TO the
death by the taunts of German newspapers.
The crisis now undoubtedly existing is. therefore.
full of peril. There seems TO be method in the Ger
man attack on England. Germany will never have
n better chance to catch Great Britain at a disad.
vantage than now. The German press is evidently
wishful that the German Government shall make the
nost Of so good a chance.

WORLD'S-l9O3-FAIR.

KENTUCKY AT THE WORLDS Fab.
In the personnel Of the distinguished delegation
which will visit Frankfort 10 promote the passage by
the kentucky State Legislature of 4 bill appropriatinS
S.Un000 for Il State exhibit at the Worlds Fair of
1909 there is ~strikingly indicated the truth Of the close
kinship existing between Kentucky and Missouri.
This delegation. composed of many of the fore
NEST men of the Worlds Fair City and State, consists
of Kcutuckians by birth who have become Missouri
ans by adoption. The latter State IS proud of them
as devoted and loyal citizens. The former State may
he equally proud of them as Kentuckians who have
shown the true Kentucky grit, aggressiveness and
wortlliness in the important affairs of life.
But not only for kinship's sake may Kentucky
fayurabIy regard the Worlds Fair. The practical
side Of the proposition to be laid before the Kentucky
Legislature will appeal to the people Of that State
with Il potency at least equal TO the sentimental AS
poet Of the case. \ liberal appropriation for 4 State
exhibit at the Worlds Fair means manifold benefits
10 Kentucky. That great and famous Commonwealth
cannot afford TO be inadequately represented. Proper
representation will constitute Il surprisingly profitable
investment from the commercial point Of view.
The Kentucky State Legislature will doubtless
plainly perceive the wisdom Of an ample appropria-
lion for Il Worlds Fair exhibit and pass the bill max
ing such an appropriation. The measure to be sub
United by the Worlds Fair delegation of former Ken
1uckians merits the earnest and favorable cunsidera-
ton Of that Legislature.

concerned, Republicans will have to use their i'm

Nor has this Republican authority ascertained that

Anna1s II the American AcadCmy.
One thing an aroused and dominant sentiment will
surely demand, and that is the doing away with those
vicious determinations which have characterized and
often d!sSracci oar railway operations. Such ofenscs
against right ard justice Will not always be tolerated. If
consultations and unified management bring open and
reasonable rates, IF more intelligent and adequate laws aid
the elimination of abuses and give success to the work
of pubic regulation, the agitation for state ownership will
not for a long time make perceptible Roadway. That is
the outcome which seems plainly the most desirable. II
II can he secured through associated action and efficient
supervision. the pubic will be satisfied to leave the rail-
ways in private hands: but if abuses continue and chronic
evils prove incurable by methods we much prefer to use.
then there will DO no alternative except to acquire ard

lation fails public ownership Will be the next and early

4 WIDE DIFFERENCE.

Republicans who have more regard for principles
than offices will anticipate the next few months in
Missouri politics with a disgust that should long ago
have permanently divorced the. from both of the
outfits that seek TO control patronage. The an
nouncement that the elimination of National Commit
teemau Kcrens in st. Louis is only preliminary to
even Il ficrcer fight in the country can mean nothing
but Il continuation of the mudslinging that has al
ways characterized Republican factional fights in Mis-
sou-i.
The line that separates Republican politicians from
the great mass of the party has been emphasized by
the action of committeeman who happen to be bust
hess men. They have tried to wash their hands OF
the whole mess hy indorsing all applications for Of
fees, presumably upon the assumption that one spoils-
man is no better than another.
No surprise is felt when the leaders of the fac
tons voice their dsapproval of this disgust among
voters. Their claim that every citizen should declare
himself 4 factionist-a hungering piace-huntcr-is a
result which they have reached by ncglecting public
politics for the more lucrative field of private manipu-
lation of patronage.
1t is not to he expected that the strikers in either
the Atkins or the kcrens camp Will heed the signs OF
the times. SO absorbed are they in their pursuit Of
post offices that the sentiment of Republicans who
care for good government is not known. much less
regarded. There can I've no improvement until both
outfits" are eliminated.

Mayor Wells has measured public sentiment when
he moves for Il thorough investigation of the Health
Department. Recent developments have impressed
the public with the fact that there should be n re-
organization of this important branch of the city'S
administration along lines of economy and greater
efficiency.
Testimony In the tetanus inquiry showed that re-
sponsibility was scattered until each official and en-
ployc imagined that the other fellow should take the
llame. The public thinks that there is a lack of sys-
tcm in the work eff the department. The continual
calls FOR greater appropriations can well be 4 subject

Mayor Wells will develop a correct system. 1t is

1t has been charged that Jefferson banished couctly
laws and introduced shamblinS manners. When Tie AIad!-
sons took his place they sought to establish the old order
of affairs. The White House was gay with dances. din

It was during the Madison regime that the custom of

Jacksons reign is associated with the merriest. mad

little Ratchet. While his guests smoked costly cigars he

What the Portrait PAINTER Paints.

C. X. Chestertcn In The Bochnan.
The portraits of the noveists in the National Portrait
Gallery offer in a rather subtle way a very good oppor-
tuaity of testing the nature of portrait painting, because
they are. as 1t were. the portraits of portrait painters.
Two elements of initiative art are involved; the truth Of
the novelist to life and the truth OF the painter to the nov
eHst. In dealing. for example, with the two portraits of
Stevenson in the gallery, we have to deal not only with
two impressions of his actual physical appearance, but
with two versions of his whole type and spirit. There
fore, the sasacity ard keenness Of the novelist is involved,
as Well as that of the painter. To the deep and intuitive
artist a portrait of Stevenson should not only be a portrait
of Stevenson; it should be, as 1t We're. a composite pho
tograph of Long John Silver and David Balfour. of Weir
of Heriniston and Prince FIo:izcl of Bohemia. of Doctor
JehyIl and Mr.. Hyde.
