Have you paid for your REPUBLICAN
TAkf NO CHANCES

Only q few weeks remain and the
fkn election win be upon rs. This be-
ing the Presidential year. it Is quite
eommon for people to think only of
the Presidential election But there
Ii more than the choice Uf q President
in the polling this fall The National
House Of Representatives is to be
chosen
This is to be an important election.
In these times Of piping peace men do
not pause to consider what is at stake
in the elections There have been no
clarion calls 10 arms as there were in
1885 aud 1900 and yet the issues are
Just - important No man should go
20 sleep at his post simply because the
artillery of the enemy temporarily has
ceased Night surprises are sometimes
as dangerous as caval-y charges.
In point Of fact, the issues are Just
- urgent now as they were in 1896
and 1900. In those years the question
was to establish conditions; now, the
them- It viii require Just as much
activity, just as much vigilance, and
just as much effort to keep the ball
rolling in 1904 as it did in 1896 and
1900 to start it.
We al know that the establishment
Of the Protective Tariff system by the
Republican Congress which followed
the Fifty-third Congress was the be-
ginning OF the good times that the
people have enjoyed 1t is Just as i'm
portant to keep the Protective Tariff
going as it was to start it. If the
Democrats elect the House of Repre-
senfntives this fall it is quite true that
they cannot change the act, because,
fortunately, Republican Senate is
sin In power and cannot be ousted
BY the forthcoming election. But the
election OF q Democratic House would
insfin feeling of discomfort in busi-
ness Affairs; men would think that
perhaps the country was on the verge
of change and that the next turn OF
the political wheel might precipitate a
change
Business would begin to halt, capital
would 90 into hiding, there would be
. feeling of uncertainty and apprehen-
sion in all lines which would show
first in the cz-tailment OF labor.
Is u the workingman who feels ii
frsz. longest and last. That seems to
be his fate. Don't take any chances,
than. but stand pat for existing condi-
s1o1z- That means to re-elecr Re-
publican House and let the good times
keep ON undisturbed. That's business
and common sense as well as good pol.
ificz.

The Republicans of this Judicial
District have chosen an excellent car
didate for Circuit Judge in the person
or Hon. Silas L. Hurin, of Findlay.
He is popular gentleman and his
large list of friends who KIN wv his real
worth are making a strong effort to se-
cure his election. There is no doubt
that the Republicans are entitled to
one member of this court and no person
better fitted for the place than Mr..
Hurin in point of education, expert
ence and natural endowments could be
found In fact he is thoroughly
equipped for the position he seeks
He has held a high place among the
members of the Hancock county bar
for the past fifteen years and during
that time has made for himself a repu-
tation as lawyer, a gentleman and a
scholar. Genuine merit has won for
him his standing among the influential
men of the district and those who
know him best are the ones most
anxious for his success at the coming
election. Mr.. Hurin was a contestant
in the race for this Office two years
ago, making an excellent run. While
not successful the showing made was a
splendid testimonial TO his ability and
popularity. He will receive warm
support at the. e..November election from
Democrats and Republicans alike. In
choosing Silas E Hurin for Circuit
Judge no mistake will be made.

EattIeships to Race the Seas.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10
Plans have been completed for put
ting the battleships of the American
navy through such an endurance test
as no war vessels of any nation ever
have been subjected to. Within
few days the battleship squadron Of
the North Atlantic feet, with several
cruisers. will be rushed across the At
laHtic and into the Mediterranean.
They will visit Trieste, Villa Franche
and Lisbon. and will return early in
August again racing across the ocean.
This is part of the comprehensive
scheme for the improvement of the
navy worked out by the general board,
of which Admiral Dewey is president.
1t is intended further to impress the
world with the serviceabiity of Ameri-
can naval ships and develop any
Weaknesses that less severe tests have
failed to reveal On his way to Europe
it is probable Admiral Barker COM
manding the squadron, will meet the
British North Atlantic fleet. which is
to be sent racing across the ocean in
a similar test of speed and endurance

The committee decided that III the
license to sell liquor in Seattle the
committee will ask the chief of police
to investigate the place where the Ii
cense is to be operated, and also the
character of the man holding the same
Should the chief of police recommend
and show good cause why the license
should not be granted the same will be
refused
The committee also gave the chief or
police power to cause to be removed
tn boxes from saloons. The chief is
authorized to order out boxes and II
tee will on recommendation of the
chief, revoke the license for the same.
This places in the hands of the chief
of police a weapon which 1t is believed
will result in more good to the city than
any act the city council has taken in
years toward controlling crime. One
great trouble that the ponce nave al
ways experienced is the fact that many
saloon men, especially those who are
permitted to conduct dives in the lower
part of the city. have continually pro-
tected and aided criminals. In many
cases these saloonmen have refused to
give assistance to the police in eaten
ing bad men: they have even gone so
far as to personally help the accused
persons to get out of the city. In the
future, when cases of that character
come to the chief of police, that officer
will recommend the revocation of their
licenses and if the committee sticks
by what it promises, the recommended
tons will be favorably acted upon.
