II Tom johnson runs for Governor OF
Ohio. there viii be something doing IN
the Buckeye State. He win carry Toledo
and Cleveland with a whirl and if he
doesn't win he viii give a rafting of dry
bones. He is one of the most brilliant
men in Ameriea-likewise one of the
ablest and honestest, and is an independ-
emit and aggressive as he is patriotic and
unconventional
The odds would be very much against
his election as Governor but the chances
would be better for a Democrtic Legisla-
ture. In that event Mark Hanna would be
retired to private life-a consummation
devoutly to be wished. Before his day
their had been bribery and corruption here
and there. He syndicated the corrupt use
of money and fought on a scale as big as
the trusts employ when they gobble up
business. He made a system of campaign
corruption where previously it had been
but a spasmodc and unscientiic crime.

BAPIy'S FUTURE
Something for Mothers
to Think About.
Lives of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CutiCuraSOap, Ointnentand Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disfiguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object of the most tender So
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the disfiguration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty of
mothers of such afflicted children to ae-
quaint themselves with the best. the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soar to
cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and
scales, gentle applications of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can be desired for the
alienation of the suffering Of skin tor
tureH infants and children, and the COM
fort of worn-out parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts,
scales and dandruff, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itchings and chafings,
in the form of washes for annoying
irritations and infammations, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

CANNOT AFFORD To LOSE IT.

We are glad to print today commune
cation from Hon. L. L. Smith, OF Gates
county. who, referring to the threatened
closing of Greensboro Female College,
says and says truly; "The Meth
odists of the State cannot afford to
lose that institution. He proposes a plan
to save it that ought to be adopted. AS
a patron and warm lifelong friend of the
owners Of the property to say whether
they will sell the college to the Methodist
church on the same terms at which they
offered it TO Trinity College. Nothing
can be done until they are heard from.
They have borne the burden q long time
and the church has only thanks TO them
for their generosity. The question now IS:
VIII they sell it to the church ~ $4,000?
If so, they will be doing a great service
to their church and to womans education
and if the church fails to respond the
closing of the college will be laid at the
door of the whole body of the church.
We believe with Mr.. Smith that the
church ought not to permit the closing
of the doors OF its oldest institution OF
learning. Greensboro cannot AFFORD it..
That city has voted more than fifty thou
sand dollars to secure the location Of
great educational institutions in its midst
IT would be the first backward step it
has taken this decade to 81. still and
see the doors of this grand old institution,
rich in honorable history, closed, and It's
magnificent campus cut up into town lots.
If the owners but ''say the word" plans
viii be matured to continue the college
in its useful career. Time is passing, and
il anything is to be done to save the
institution action should be taken at once.

POWER OF THE CHECK BOOK

POWER OF THE CHECK BOOK
New York World.
There are traditions of offended million
aires buying up hotels for the sake OF re-
yenge upon the proprietor because OF q
stale sandwich or a discourtesy from the
clerk. Usually the names are lacking,
and the authenticity of the story is open
to doubt. But we seem to be raising a
corps of Croesuses to whom such a pur-
chase may be but an episode of the day 8
doing.
There is Mr.. Schwab, for example. The
contractors who are building his million
dollar mansion on Riverside drive having
informed him that they could get no brick
with which to continue the progress of
the building uninterrupted, he went up
the Hudson and bought brickyard with
its entire product. There being no brick
layers to lay the brick, he arranged with
the union for them. And now we hear
of John w Gates having no suitable car
riage to take him to the Derby in Chi
cago and buying two landaus for the oc-
casion at the cost of $4,000.
These are. our Alexanders of finance,
who cut Gordian knots with gold or dis
solve them into thin air with a leaf torn

been necessary Mr. Gates would have pur-
chased an entire carriage factory, and if

Especial to the Washington Post)
Cleveland, Ohio, June 2S.-Tom L. John
son mayor of this city. probably will be
the Democratic nominee for Governor OF
ohio and Cleveland will thus furnish the
two men who will race for the highest
offics within the gift of the Buckeyes this
fall.
The Democrats who are now in control
of Ohio politics and in position to name
the slate have decided it is said, that
the Cleveland mayor and famous single
tax advocate shall be Herrick's opponent,
and realizing the futility of trying to
overcome the normal Republican majority
in ohio. will wage the whole fight on the
legislative ticket
DOES NOT WANT 1T.
Mr.. johnson is not DESTROYS of running
for governor this year, but the conveil-
ton it is predicted, will force it upon him
and he will accept. This was ascertained
few days ago when w. L. Finley, of
Kenton representing the Johnson wing
Of the party, was sent to Cleveland to dis
cover how the mayor stood on the propo-
sition. While Mayor Johnson would not
announce himself candidate, he admit
ted that he would accept if the conyen-
tion unanimously asked him to be the
leader.
That this programme will be carried out
is certainty unless vetoed at the last
minute by Mr. Johnson himself, as his
faction is in control of the State organ
ization and already has enough counties
in line to make his nomination a one-bal-
lot affair.
Zimmerman, of Springfield, who has an
nounced his candidacy, will be withdrawn
from the race With Johnson as a candl-
date, a strong effort will be made to
elect Democratic legislature and defeat
Senator Hanna, who wants another term.
JONES A JOHNSON MAN.
In this fight the Democrats will have
the aid OF Mayor Jones OF Toledo, who
will be used to draw in line large ele-
ment of the labor vote, which he controls.
Jones is an ardent Johnson man and ls
support has been promised.
Mayor Johnson does not relish the idea
OF running for governor with what Is
generally considered certainty of defeat,
but Democratic leaders have persuaded
him that there is a strong chance Of
downing Hanna and thus making himself
the most prominent Democrat in the coun-
try, and the practical candidate for Presi-
dent in 1904.

THE GREATEST MOVEMENT FOR
WOMAN'S EDUCATION.

A few years ago Mr.. Washington Duke
gave one hundred thousand dollars to
Trinity College upon condition that the
doors be opened to women. His gift, with
the condition annexed, was accepted.
At the next session. several young wo-
men matriculated at Trinity, and every
year since it has numbered sevG<1l accom-
phshed young women among its graduates.
But. while open to women, the college
has not had accommodations for large
number of young women and only few
have awaited themselves of the gift of Mr.
Duke.
In Sunday mornings News and Obser-
yer, upon the authority of Mr. James II.
Southgate. president of the board of
trustees of Trinity College, it was an
nounced that 1.-THE plans were definitely
conceived and that the woman's college
at Trinity would start out
with the advantage of a million dollar
investment, and that when the plans were
perfected it would be the great
est movement ever made in the South in
behalf of higher education for women
The trustees viii meet this week and soon
the plans viii be given to the public The
announcement of Mr.. Southgate that it
will be the greatest movement ever made
in the South in behalf of higher educa-
ton for woman" OF course arouses deep
interest In the Forthcoming details and
particulars. This is the age of woman
and her education is of the highest i'm
portance. for upon her education depends
the hope of banishing illiteracy man
who can read and write may be the
father of an illiterate child. but no mother
of even limited education ever reared an
iliterate child The large use of money
cannot be employed in any way to do more
lasting good than in providing for the edu-
cation of the future mothers OF the COM
monwealth.
Without knowing any more than Mr..
Southgate has made public, we take it that
one or more of the Duke family is to fur
Eish the money for this great forward move
ment Members of this family have al
ready given more largely to education
than any living family in the South, and
only one year ago Mr. B. N. Duke, desir-
Gus of increasing the number of those
enjoying the advantages provided at
Trinity College. proposed to abolish all
charge for tuition and open the doors
free to all ambitious youth 1t is perhaps
true that either he or his father or all
the family, have determined upon some
large benefaction that will give at Trim
ity ever increasing better advantages and
to permit women to share in the educa-
tional privileges enjoyed by young men.
The State does not need any multiplied
ton of weak colleges, but it needs the
strengthening of all those in existence.
The Dukes in investing their money in
immortal mind are putting it where it will
tell for good in generations unborn
