The Republicans of yellow Springs
are trying to secure the opening. OF the
state campaign, which brings to mind
talk during the campaign OF last fall
that the campaign opening should be
held in Lisbon, the birthplace OF Sem
ator Hanna, this year. Hanna was
asked to speak in that place during the
campaign and tried hard to 60 there,
but his engagements interferred. ID
was then stated that because of his
failure to get there thercampaign OPEN
ing would be held there In the follow
Ing year. Hanna will speak at Lisbon
next month when 1t celebrates its cel !.
tennial for which reason he might con-
clude his one appearance there should
be sufficient. What effect this will
have on the towns chances for the
opening is hard TO tell.

this has been attained. From now on
the efforts of the authorities should be
directed toward encouraging the erection
of suitable buildings. not to hamper
them by needless requirements. such as

THE WAGES OF GRAFT.

"Honesty is the best policy" has been
made more than truism by the report
of Joseph l.. Bristow on the frauds in
the postoffice department.. Perry Heath
finds himself in position to offer, ii he
were so inclined, some interesting ex-
pert testimony on the wages OF graft.
His fall from place of trust and conf.
dence in his party will give him pause
to estimate how much is hazarded and
how much is lost by men who place
their regulations and their characters in
the balance against the fruits of venality
and corrupt greed.
When the risk OF public dishonor and
shame ant the loss of prestige and in
tluence are considered, the stupidity OF
boodling in the case OF a man like Perry
Heath is amazing. Leaving out OF the
question what:ought to be the para
mount consideration with every man
the enjoyment of his self-respect-the
chance Of exposure..and the disaster that
never fails to overtake man who is
found out, should fortify against temp.
tation every man who has anything to
lose.
The relative positions of Joseph l..
Bristow and OF Perry Heath today
would seem to be all the argument re-
quired to persuade men that dishonesty,
from any point of view from which it
may be regarded, i. the wors, policy on
the face OF the earth.-kansas City Star.

THE POLICE COURT.

With its customary i'll reasoning, the
Bulletin attributes the suggestion OF the
HERAI d that the police justice and jus.
tice of the peace be two officers instead
of one, to a desire on the part OF the
editor of this paper to occupy the position
of police ju ige. Our esteemed conten-
porary may possess its soul in peace.
The editor of the HERALD has neither
the time nor inclination to hold down
the job. Publishing the best newspaper
in the city requires all of his time and is
fairly remunerative.
the thought was sugges ted by the
number OF petty cases in the past year
in which changes of venue were taken,
entailing the cost OF trials in Ccsmopolis
and Hoquiam on the city, and the fact
that an inca pacity or disqualification OF
the dual Judge would prevent case be.
ing heard in the city, without the cost
of 4 visiting judge.
Courts are established and maintained

less expense when changes of venue
have been demanded. When the present
ordinance was adopted the city had two
justices of the peace. and provision was
properly made that one of them should
hold the police court. but, there is no
doubt as to the meaning OF the statute
in this regard. 1t provides that, THE
police judge may be selected from the
justices of the peace;" and number OF
cities OF the third class have their ordi-
nances so framed as to permit any citl-
zen to act in that capacity. among which
may be noted the city of noquiam.

EVANS WANTS MORE MARINFs
lie falls for SOO and General Board or
Navy Approves the REQUEST.

WASHINGTON, July Give hundred
more marines have been asked for by Rear
Admiral Evans, commander-in-chief os
the Asiatic naval force. As THE Sun has
told. Admiral Evans objected to the with
drawal OF any marines from the Philp.
pines until others had been provided to
take their place and gave IA his reason for
this that there was imminent danger OF
trouble in China which would require the
presence Of a large force of men TO pro-
tect American interests.
There are now about 1000 marines ashore
in the Philippines, 600 at Olongapo, 200 at
Cavite, and 200 at other places With the
addition asked for by Admiral Evans, the
marine force will be increased to 1900 mon
The General Board Of the Navy, which
studies strategy and prepares for war; has
approved the recommendation of Admiral
Evans.
Major-Gen, Haywood, the Commandant
Of the Marine Corps, has informed the Navy
Department that he has not enough men
to comply with the wishes OF Admiral
Evans. The corps is 1000 men short and
unless the battalion Of marines now on the
Panther in the West Indies is assigned to
relieve the marine garrisons in the United
States, not more than 200 additional men
will he available for service in the Far East.
The Department Is so much impressed
with Admiral Evanss reports of the situa-
ton In China that it is making every effort
to find ways and means Of augmenting the
marine battalions on the Asiatc station.

CiSSTNI AND THE PETITION.
He Made No Attempt to Prevent lis Trans.
mission to the Gar.

WASHINGTON, July Count Cassini
the Russian Ambassador, left Washington
to-day for New York, and will sail for
Europe without having made an official
attempt to prevent the transmission
to the Car of the petition concerning
the Kishineff massacre and the treat
ment Of Jews in Russia. This attitude on
the part of the Ambassador shows how
thoroughly In earnest his Government Ia
in Its announcement through the press that
it will not receive any communication from
foreign Power dealing with the purely
domestic affairs of Russia.
1t was supposed in some quarters that
Count Cassini would privately endeavor
to induce the State Department not to send
the petition to st. Petersburg, using the
argument that its presentation would have
no other effect than to strain the relations
between Russia and the United States,
and, while not helping Russian Jews. might
have. the effect of placing them in worse
made no such attempt, contentng himself
with giving to the press the statement Of
Russia q position, upon which his Govern
ment stands firmly.
What overtures might have been made by
Russia to avert friction with the United
States will probably never be known. for
concliatOry attitude on Russia's part was
made impossible by President Roosevelts
accusation Of bad faith and unfriendliness
toward the st, Petersburg Government in
the Manchurian negotiations. Russia is
standing on her dignity, and President
Roosevelt is angry
There is not likely to be any compromise.
That the Jewish petition will be sent to the
United States Embassy at St. Petersburg
for presentation Is regarded as certain,
and IL is regarded as equally certain that
the Russian authorities will decline in the
curtest possible manner TO receivsit. The
danger of strained relations, however, Ia
far greater in connection with the Man
churian negotiations, which cannot be
continued much longer without trouble, I'M
less Russia changes the attitude of opposi-
ton to the "open door" of which she has

RIVERSIDE DRIVE EXTENSION.
Suit to- EnJOin Cantor From Doing II Piece
meal.

The Lansing Investment Company,
real estate corporation, In its own behalf
and in that OF other property owners, OBJ
tanned an order from Supreme Court Justice
Truax yesterday directing Borough Presi-
dent Cantor and his subordinate officials
to show cause tomorrow why they should
not be enjoined from awarding a contract
for the extension Of Riverside Drive from
the north end Of Manhattan viaduot at
l95th street 10 145th street until the plans
and specifications for the entire proposed
route Of Riverside Drive and Parkway
shall have been completed and approved.
The property owners object to the con-
struction Of the improvements in sections.
ON the ground that this is by far the most
expensive and dilatory way. The extension
was authorized by the Legislature in 1897,
and the city has had title to all the necessary
property since 1900, yet little has been done.
A few weeks ago Supreme Court Justice
Mccall, In granting a mandamus directing
that the necessary plans and specifications
for tho extension be prepared at once,
blamed Mr. Cantor and his subor dinates
Tor their apparent dilatoriness,
