throughout its history for demagogues, rogues

the picturesque language of the janitor, Mar

been humored, the victims of fraud have been
treated sympathetically and rogues and suspl-

More poor foreigners have come here to have
counterfeit money and snide jewelry tested

The sailor in the United States Navy is being
trained not only to handle cannon, but also to
handle himself. Despite the tremendous evolu-
ton of the long range gun, of the submarine tor
nedo and of the mine, there are still likely TO
be times when Jack must cope hand to hand
with his foe. In such an emergency his tech

of little avail Then he must depend not only
on a strong body. but also a trained brain. to

Who Is My NeiqhbOr?

A friend has kindly handed us the
following from a correspondent OF
the Sidney Gazette. which we share
with our readers:
"After furlough of twenty-three
days we hoofed it into our own back
yard Monday eve, not broke. but
badly bent. Couldn't tell just where
we were, that is, don't like to. Had
a fine time, nevertheless. At Belle
fontaine we met Editor ]. Q. A.
Campbell, of the REPUBLICAN. a
friend of our childhood, and his pleas
ant helpmate. J. Q. A., by the way,
is to be next postmaster of that city,
and for a selection Honorable War-
mock could not have made better
one. John Quincy deserved the ap-
pointment and while, of course, all
may not think so and a few
pretended neighbors and friends may
turn up snout of contempt in silence,
the more than many friends of Mr..
c. are highly pleased. Mr.. C. has
been life long Republican and loyal
to the party he loves. He was one of
the party in blue and saw much ac-
tive service, and to use present ex-
pressions was ready at all times to
deliver the goods Should this
reach the peppers of friend Camp
bell he will know he has a Shelby
county friend that is elated to know
he has received the appointment of

the wish of SoX."

1t Is hoped the political canvass
will not degenerate into an exchange
of low personalities and backbitings.
Really and truly, the common people
are not caring much whether Tom
Johnson is tax dodger, or lives in
a property whose title is in his wife's
name, or whether Charles Dick,
Chairman of the Republican Com
mittee, belongs to that large and re-
spectacle class of Americans known
as the debtor class. True tax dodg-
ing is not virtue, nor An evidence
of finest for Office, but, as class, IL
compares in size, If not in respecta'
bility, with the other class named
Beside all this, neither tax lodging,
nor inability to pay debts, nor living
in homestead belonging to the for
tunate wife, is an issue before the
voters of Ohio this year. What the
people want of their candidates IL
unselfish craftsmanship, coupled with
the ability to meet the duties of the
place to which they aspire. The Re
publican party believes in the princi
plies and policies laid down in its plat
form, and has confidence in its can
didates. On the other hand, 1t doe
not believe in the alleged principle
and policies announced in the plat

ical integrity of that party's can

singing the Democrats can alway

The Republican party is not made N
THAT way. In a canvass of PERSONAL

More Than a Republican Victory.

The st Louis Globe-Democrat, in
commenting upon the political situa-
tion in Ohio, expresses the opinion
that the Republican campaign man
ayers in this state are making a mis-
take in attempting to roll up record
breaking pluralities for Hanna and
Herrick. Our contemporary looks
upon Johnson's defeat as certain,
whether or not any special effort is
made to beat him, and thinks it un-
wise to annihilate him, for the rea-
son that he will be such an easy
mark for the Republican batteries in
future campaigns.
This is not the right position to
take. There may be some force in
the argument from the purely par
tisan point of view. There is none
from the broader viewpoint of the
Rep ublican who places the welfare
of his state and his country above
that of his party.
1t is tire tremendously important that
OHIO go Overwhelmingly Republican

principles be upheld and that IN, n.
whose records in the past have right.
ly earned them further honors, he
placed in Office. The crushing defeat
of Johnson will be a deathblow to
socialism. with all the dangers its
false doctrines involve. A Republican
plurality of more than 100000 would
announce to the world that the mer
of Ohio are safe men, who cannot
be fooled into supporting unjust and
dangerous policies of government
1t would be not only a Republican
victory, but glorious triumph
for conservatism and honesty. And
the bigger the plurality the greater
the triumph.
The Republican campaign mana
gers should continue with all possible
vigor their efforts to arouse the vo.
ers of Ohio to the necessity o.
voting right on Nov. 8. If the issues
of this campaign are fairly presented
to all the people of the state ther,
can be no doubt that Johnson ani
socialism will be wiped off the map
