Doctors and Patients.

DR.. Cheyne. the great eighteenth CEN
fury physician of Bath, was n witty
enough man. but he found more than n
match in Beau Nash. who was one Of
his patients. Calling one day after he
had prescribed for Nash. Cheyne asked
him. We'll. have you followed my pre-

Maxim. sure of the Architect.

Norman-Al-Aouar. an Arabian king
who reigned long. long ago ut Hirah,
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him n wondrous palace. This
the architect did. and when IL was
done n single stone fastened the whole
structure. and the colors of the walls
changed frequently during the day.
The king was greatly pleased and
showered all kinds of rich gifts upon
the builder with the lavishness of ORR
entail kings. But monarchs were
treacherous in those old days. and it
occurred to the king that Sennemar
might build palace equal in beauty
or even superior for some rival ruler.
The more he thought over 1t the
more jealous he became until one day
he ordered the architect 10 be thrown
from the top of the palace TO make
certain that no duplicate palace would
be made. After this the king was sat
isfied that his palace was the only one.
and the Arabians regarded it as one
Of the wonders of the world.

johnson Helped Bring Panic-Hanna
Helped 6rinq Prosperity = Good
Work Well Done Deserves Reward.
II is in the public careers Of the
men that the people should be most
interested. however. II should be re-
membereG that johnson has seen
much longer service as a public cffi-
cial than has Senator Hanna. In 1890
he was elected to congress. and IN
1892 he reelected to the Democratic
congress which formed a part of
Grover Cleveland's second term, and
which by vicious legislation precipi-
tated the ?an!c of 1893. The panic
brought ruin TO millions of people.
There is scarcely q man or a business
firm in the entire country who did not
suffer dire distress during that dark
period.
LET THEM REMEMBER THAT
TOM L. JOHNSON WAS A PART
AND PARCEL OF THE ADMINS
TRATION WHICH CAUSED 1T, and
that because he was identified with it,
the people of the Twenty-first Ohio
district in 1894 RETIRED HIM TO
PRIVATE LIFE. In 1901 he was elect
ed mayor of Cleveland. and although
years, his most violent partisan can
not point to a single thing which he
has accomplished that has made the
people better or happier or more pros
porous.
Senator Hanna's public career began
when he undertook the task of elect
Ing William Mckinley president That
when business was at a standstill and
when working men were starving. To
the business men he promised renewed
prosperity. to the workingmen plenty
Of work and a full dinner pail. SEN

MY WILL NOT DENY THAT HE
FULFILLED THOSE PLEDGES TO
THE LETTER. OR THAT TO HIM,
MORE THAN TO ANY OTHER MAN,
is DUE THE PROSPERITY THE
COUNTRY is ENJOYING AT THIS
MOMENT.
Why. then. should the people OF
Ohio cast aside the man who does
| things and whose public career has so
largely contributed to the growth and
prosperity of the nation. in favor of
the man who does nothing but croak,
| who breaches calamity and hatred.
| and whose public life has given the
| people nothing that is good. but much
that is evil. The defeat of such man
| as Senator Hanna by such a man as

And at the close of the meeting as
Dicky and the banker strode down the
aisle and out the door the congrega-
tion broke out into parting hymn Of
praise.
Some years later two men sat in a
fashionable restaurant uptown. They
were respectively the cashier and the
receiving teller Of the private banking

Single Taxer and Would Use
This Amendments Extraordinary
Power" to Bring In Single Land
Tax.
Very close to an outright bolt is the
declaration of the Democratic Colum-
bus Citizen of Sept. "a in its editorial
upon the scheme to classify Ohio
property" The provocation is in the
amendment to change and enlarge the
taxation powers of the general assem-
bly,. The Citizen speaks OF this as ''ex-
traordinary power and says that its
full exercise will instantly throw
open the doors of the state to COM
munism." 1t says that this Is true
admitting that it (the extraordinary
power') might not be exercised as rad
ically as Mr.. Johnson's single tax the
ory would indicate"
The Citizen points out that Mr..
Johnson is a single taxer." II refers to
him as notorious advocate" of this
amendment. which was adopted by the
convention which nominated him. 1t
thinks it only fair to presume that
Il Democratic legislature were elect
ed subject to Mr.. Johnson's control,
and this amendment were adopted. he
would classify all property under its
provision. and according to his single
tax theory would place substantially
the entire burden of taxation upon
land values"
Still stronger is the concluding par
agraph of the Citizen editorial. That
journal may well look for so:ae of the
choicest OF Johnson's billingsgate. as
directed toward it, for it uses this In
pardonable language: The alleged
Democratic endorsement Of this
amendment was given at Johnson's
command and cannot be permitted to
stand as Democratic doctrine. The
people should fully inform themselves
as to what it means. and vote against
the threat of communistic government
involved in the proposition"

You may know that the popping is done
