After ALL 1t begins to look as though
the authorities at Springfield we're as
much or more to blame than the mob
which has been defying the law. Ac-
cording to reports there have been a
number Of murders committed in that
city and other crimes little less afro
cious, which have been let go unpun-
ished. The negro who was hung had
heen sentenced to the workhouse and
upon the payment Of his fine the work.
Louse sentence was RENTED and he
was thus let loose to carry out the plan
for revenge upon the policeman who
had at one time arrested him. Speedy
and exact justice Is demanded by the
public for murderers and those who
commit outrages. The authorities can
not afford to trine with the public in
these matters.

Danger in School Code.

A prominent banker of Canton, call.
ed attention to the worst feature of
the new school code which the legisla-
ture is threatening to pass under the
spur of the party lash. 1t Is that
clause which gives the school boards
the right to levy as high as IL mills
for school purposes. Under the
present law but seven mills
can be levied for ordinary school ex-
penses. The code pruvides that the
boards shall have power to make such
levies as 1t desires without being an
swerable to any other department OF
the city or township government.
While in some instances, schools
need more than the amount Of money
that can be raised by mills levy,
yet in the case of the present code,
with its hackers who are politicians, it
looks as though one of the aims Is
to raise large sums Of money, as is
done in municipal affairs, so that the
grafters and political hangers.on can
get q share and contribute toward cam
paign expenses.
In Canton the increase of the school
levy TO IL mills would bring the taxes
up to q point In excess Of per cent,
which would be still greater burden
upon property owners. The general
impression among the business men
who understand the situation is that
the Legislators should go slow In pass
ing this bill.
II the state must have school
code, a commission Of prominent
educators should be appointed to draft
II, and the wishes OF such corrupt pol
iticians as George 3. Cox should not
be considered for q moment. II the
bill should pass, Coz would 90 to the
limit in Cincinnati and add to the
strength Of his political machine.
Every school teacher would have to
pay campaign expenses.

Stark's Farmers,

There ts no county an the state
where the farmers breed bel.er
class Of stock than In stark A trip
through the country disIricts SHOWS
this TO be true. Hisn graue drai,,
coach and roadster horses are raised
upon the farms, and the scrub morse
Is seldom seen. Many brood mare
that draws the plow has the blood Oh
two-minute trotting or pacing strains
in her veins, and quite frequently
from these farms a fast race horse
springs into prominence. The cattle
are either thoroughbred or high grade
durhams, jerseys or holsteins, as a
rule, with occasionally specimens Of
the more rare breeds. No more Is
seen the razor-backed hog, but in his
place are berks, chesters or poland
china. Even down to poultry, the far
mer who has not flock of thorough
bred plymouth rocks or some other
Of the popular reproducing breeds
Is considered back number. There
Is one place wherein Stark county
farmers fall down, and that is in sheep
raising, Not in the quality, but in
numbers Of the animals owned. The
principal reason for It is that the land
Is too valuable for sheep raising. That
can be done with more profit in the
hilly, sterile sections where farming
is impossible.

SANDYV|LLE MAN
Ends Life Near West

Shortly before noon Wednesday the
body of a man, apparently aged about
80 years, was found in o vacant lot
in the rear Of the home OF Joan
avenue, and not tar from Westlawn
cemetery The body was clothed in
a dark suit, and the man wore q SOFT
wide brimmed hat and a celliloid col
lar. Nothing was found in any of the
pockets except the return portion Of
a railroad ticket from Sandyville to

dead man was made by members of
the family of Adam Phillips, Of No.

oner Schiltz was notified. The body
was taken to the undertaking rooms

tered and a bread knife was missing
In the search for the knife blood
stains were found in the rear of the
house and a bloody trail led to the
spot where the body was found. with
the knife beside 1t. The man after
securing the weapon stopped in the
yard and severed the arteries of the
neck, after which he made his way
to the place where his life blood ebb-
ed away, and where he apparently
had tried to hasten death by cutting
other gashes in his throat.
Yesterday afternoon the body was
identified by Sandyville officials, by
telephone description as d. X. Nixon,
resident Of that place. II was first
thought that he was a Hebrew and
number Of people of that race were
called in to identify him IL possible.
The Identification was brought
about by having dentist examine
his teeth. He had two that were all
gold and complete set of bridge
work in his mouth.
