Hanna for Second Place.

Why not Senator Hanna for Presi-
dent Roosevelt's running mate?
There is the most perfect harmony
between them. From a political
point of view, each is complement
of the other. Hanna is strong in the
financial centers where the President
is most criticised. The business men
of the country have implicit conf
dence i'm Senator Hanna's conserva-
tism, and while experience should
teach them that they have nothing
to fear from any Republican Presi-
dent, it is true nevertheless that
there is certain timid element that
would like to see some man other
than Roosevelt named.
Geographically, the ticket would
be an ideal one.-Toledo Blade.

A FEARFUL FALL
BrOugh Smith Rides a Wheel
Down the PiCkrelltOWn
Hill.
And Has a Terrible Fall AS He
Makes the Turn In the Road.

Sunday forenoon, Mr.. Brough
Smith, who lives two miles southeast
of Liberty. with Mr.. Frank Umble.
started for Goshen, on his wheel, to
attend church.
He attempted the perilous task of
coalling down the Pickrelltown hill
and was going at fearful gait, when
he passed Mr.. Will London, who was
driving colt, going up the hill. Mr..
Loudon got out of his buggy and held
his colt to keep it from soaring, and
called to Smith not to attempt riding
down the hill. But Smith, either did
not hear. could not stop, or felt able
to take care of himself, shot ahead.
Mr.. Louden, fearful that an acci-
dent would happen followed Smith
| afoot to the turn in the road to the
west, at the old Robert Peele home,
and there found him insensible in the
road. He had fallen from the wheel,
striking his face, and sliding in
that position several yards.
| Mr.. Louden managed to get Smith
over to Dr. Wanzer's, across the val.
ley, where he was attended, and
after he came to, and his wounds were
dressed, he was taken to Zanesfield
and in the evening was taken home
An examination of his wounds
showed his chin badly cut, his upper
1 lip cut through. his nose badly cut
and large cash cut across his fore
head, the side of his face scrape,
and cut, and his ear badly cut.
AS he lay bruised. cut and bleeding
in the road, he presented a fearful
. sight, and his wounds are not onl
ugly and painful but of a seriou
character.
After reviving, Smith said tha

from the pedal, and he was unabl

The DIVORCE SPIRIT!
Rampant in Our NeighbOring
County of Marion.

One fourth of all the cases dosket-
ed for the present term of court in
Marion county, are divorce cases.
A dispatch from Marion to the To-
ledo Blade, tells the story of this
alarming condition of affairs, as fol-
lows:
Marion. o., May 15.-Social rela-
tions seem to be "out of kilter" in
this county, according to the opinion
of Judge B. c. Young. of the common
pleas bench, who so expressed him
self Thursday.
One-fourth of all the cases docket
ed for this term of court are those in
which divorces are sought. There
were just rs such up to Thursday
night. SO of which were brought by
wives. With one or two exceptions
they have been filed since February
l, and since that time only SO marri
age licenses have been taken out il
this county.
| The divorce business has reache,
such a stage here that the bette
class of attorneys frown upon litiga
tion of that kind and avoid taking
cases except where the offenses upol
one side or the other have been .es
pecially fiagrant.

Lamb" and responded to an enthus-
iastic encore. Miss Clara Coulter

which was musical. logically COM
posed and finely rendered. Miss Bes-
sic Page gave some fine thoughts on
''We're Leaving the Bay, the Ocean
Lies Before" in which she compared
an ocean voyage to the voyage of
life. The quartette sang "Annie
Laurie" and responded to the encore
in a humorous selection. Miss Ethel
Richardson gave the Class Prophecy,
which showed careful preparation
and was quite interesting. Miss Ida
Fullerton, the valedictorian, after
giving some excellent thoughts on
Love" in behalf of the class thank
ed the School Board and Superintend-
ent for the interest they had taken
in them and gave a sad farewell to
pupils and teachers. After the quar-.
tette sang Little Johnny Went Fish.

THE recent reports of brutal mas
sacre of the Jews in Kishener, Bes-
sarabia, which seemed too atroc:ous
to believe, are fully confirmed. Men.
women and children were murdered
and women outraged because they
were Jews, and the ferocity of their
prosecutors. atrocious and brutal
as il was, shows that the human race
has many weary marches ahead of

IT is not quite time for the
Union Veterans to apologize for hav-
ing saved the Union, but if the Blue
and the Gray are entitled to equal
recognition on Decoration Day, we
can't see why they shouldn't apollo
gize for shooting the Southern Con-
federacy to death. The magnanimi-
ty of the North at the close of the
war, shown by our not confscating
rebel property or Furnishing rebel
leaders, was so unprecedented that it
was 4 great surprise to the world.
Isn't it about time that the North's
magnanimity were recognized, and
concession made that the North was
right and the South was wrong.
Mingling of the Blue and Gray may
become nauseating, if It implies
equal honor to the natior's defend
ers and her enemies.
