And Urges his Followers to Con
Cede Nothing.

Columbus, o., Jan. l2.-Senator
Hanna yesterday advised his political
friends to fight for an Ohio delega-
tion to the national convention to be
entirely composed of his friends,

Senator Foraker in writing letters to
anti-Hanna men in Cleveland, Ham

the Ohio delegation being composed
of men whose allegiance to himself
can not be questioned. At the same
time the senator emphatically reiter
ates his previous announcement that
he is not and does not expect to be a
presidential candidate. It is neces-
sary. he explains, to show by actual
accomplishment that he is still the
leader of Ohio republicans.
Fight for every inch, was his or.

be no question as to who rules in Ohio
Hanna expects to control the dele

A Perfect Complexion,

There are people who believe that
if these rules are followed il is not
impossible to have a perfect com.
plexion. Don't worry, don't fret; be
calm and quiet. Don't drink tea and
coffee, but pure water. Eat apples
raisins and figs and few salted al
monds each day. An egg or two a
day soft boile6l and no animal food
Eat an orange every day or two,
Walk two or three miles a day and
bathe the whole body every day in
tepid water.

The Governor and His Staff.

1t is not to be presumed, OF course,
that the administration of Governor
HerTick will be warlike simply be-
cause he is to be surrounded by staff
composed of officers of the National
Guard stern and grim-visaged war
riors who have seen service at many
a State encampment. Governor Her
rick, though he Is to be given a staf
of warriors, Is one of the mildest and
most peaceful of men. He has a
smile that is conciliatory and man
ner that is amiable and convincing
But really the Shallenberger act
has inaugurated quite a change in
Ohio. Heretofore the staff of the
Governor has been composed of civ
lilians-men who could afford to pur-
chase the uniforms and gold lace
that made them conspicuous on pa
rade, and il has been deemed an hon
to belong to the personel stan of the
Governor. No more civilians will be
complimented in that way, however.
There will be no further opportunity
for the Governor to confer honorary
titles There will be fewer majors.
colonies, and generals who will have
to answer impertinent questions
asked by the curious concerning
their war records. Finally, the Ma.
tional Guard, which has been reor'
ganized and put upon a better mill
itary footing by the Dick law, enact
ed at the last session of Congress
will be brought into closer touch
with the State administration, and
will be strengthened d on that account
The reform appears to have beer
ldictated by wisdom and good sense. n

How STRANGE the coincidence that
two ex-GOvernOrs should die of the
same disease and away from home.
MIR Foster was stricken at the home
of his friend. Gen. Keifer, and died
in Springfield, Mr.. Bushnell, two days
later, stricken on his way to the sta
,ion to go home from Columbus,
passed away in a city hospital. He

Some OF Jdpdn'S Advantages.

Distance is not by any means the
only factor in the problem of relative
strength on the east coast of Asia
which makes Russia's apparent sup
eriority to Japan much less than il
seems. There are other points of the
utmost Importance to be considered.
One is the loyalty of the population
under the two flags. Japan has no
Poland. The Japanese army does not
need hundreds of thousands of good
soldiers to hold conquered provinces
safe. The Japanese are 4 compact.
harmonious, intensely loyal people
They are all of and for Japan.
Russian must guard Poland and Tur-
kistan. She must keep heavy forces
on the frontiers of Turkey, C Germany,
Austria-fIungary, and Persia. Her
garrisons cannot be withdrawn from
the Afghan border. She must over
awe the Chinese in Manchuria and
the Mongols west of that province.
At least 2o,Oo0,0n0 subjects of the
Car are a source of weakness instead
of strength In time of war.
Japan has no neighbors to watch.
Not nation on the north would give
the Mikado's government uneasiness,
in the event of war with Russia. The
open sea, with the British and Amer.
ican flags most potent thereon, is tie
Japanese frontier.
Another very important point oi
japanese advantage Is the nearnes:
of naval bases which are not detach
ed strongholds like Port Arthur and
fyladivostocS, but great centers o.
the trade and commerce of JapaI
aud the natural resources of the lie
land empire. The Russian vessel
which may operate, in case of war
from the stations created by tn,
Gears government on the east coas
of Asia, will be such as we're able t.
make the long voyage from European
waters, carrying their full war equip
|. ment. They could never be built
like the newest and best warships o
Japan, to subordinate coal capacit
, and magazines to weight of guns an
armor.
II Japan has planned her navy t
fight near home. She has made tn
utmost of striking po ser, within
short distance of Japanese arsenal:
+. There has been no sacrifice of arma
/ ment to the needs of long voyages
: Therefore, some OF the vessels of tn
Japanese navy are among the mos

HANNA
Cannot Be Candidate For
President.

James Il Morrow, correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader Leader in a
two column letter in that paper says
a good many pretty things for Sena-
tor Hanna and not so many for Sen
ator Foraker and his friends, says
President Roosevelt Is afraid of Mr..
Hanna, etc, etc. We give extracts:
Again Mark Hanna is in Co'umb bus.
Again he is a candidate for Senator.
But there are no plots. no mines, no
ambuscades. No Republican would
dare to vote against him: no Repub /
can wants to vote against him The
men who actively conspired to bring
about his downfall brought ruin upon

him.
Reports that Hanna will he can

no doubt, smiles whenever he reads
them. Hanna can't be candidate
for President. If he should take the
