all that can be made of the trust
question. These various incidents
and phases will be concentrated
and absorbed in the Roosevelt issue.
1t grows out of his strong person
ality, his intensity, his impulse to
do things. The Republicans will
welcome this issue, as they well
come the tariff issue. They will
plant themselves on the Presidents
record, on his honesty and courage,
on his high standard of public SER
vice, on his robust Americanism,
on his forceful graphing with
emergencies, on his virile and
powerful individuality. They will
confidently go to the American
people on these points and take
their judgement.
The question of upholding the
great American advance in then new
departure of the last eight years
will count with thoughtful minds.

the Roosevelt issue, and need not
be particularly differentiated. The

are now well-cultivated fields. producing
fair harvests.
The site OF Ohio City, once the county
seat of Franklin county. is one of these
landmarks. In April. 1850. Il contained
n few general stores. two fair hotels, n
blacksmith shop, a schoOlhouse and a
dozen or more dwelling houses. Bust
ness was good and everything lively,
with a prospect OF a great boom. Men
stood on the street corners and painted
in glowing colors the coming glories
The awaited glory of Ohio City passed
to the beautiful ottawa. on the banks
Of the Marias des Cygnes. In the winter
Of 1S64-lS65 and its destiny was forever
eclipsed.
Many of its buildings and the county
offices were removed to ottawa and the
few that were left became the abodee
OF owls. bats. and creeping vermin. The
town plot. once so full of promise. is
now inclosed In good farms. and the
only respectable house left standing Is
