It is sufficient to say that 1t is an
open and fair question whether the
features Of the original Brannock law
which were eliminated by the COVER
nor's veto were not all OF them UNI
wise, and such as would in the long
run have curtaied the good influence
VI the whole law. At any rate, their
elimination in its worst results can
only slightly interfere with the eff
cheney of the law. AS 1t is, the law has
passed the scrutiny of the supreme
court and been sustained; whereas, 1t
Is very doubtful IL it would have been
sustained with all the original provis-
ions in
An examination Of the facts, there
fore, would seem to lead to the con-
cluson that the governor, in exercis-
ing his constitutional prerogatives, has
simply used that wise political sense
which has secured to the state an ad-
mirable law which is above criticism,
which is accomplishing, in the main,
the beneficial results aimed at by its
promoters, and which gives the surest
pledge OF his sympathy with wise eff
forts to secure the practical ends of
temperance legislation.
The temperance people will, there
fore, do a most foolish and suicidal
thing II they vote against the election
Of Governor Herrick under the impress
sion that they are thereby going to
promote their cause The leaders of the
Anti.Saloon league would better devote
their energies and their funds to 9th
er purposes than that of trying to de-
feat the man who has favored and
signed the best law that was ever put
upon the Ohio statutes for the limita'
ton of the evils of intemperance.

Green.

Owing to its derivation the word
"Green" was originally applied to the
color Of vegetation, but not to the color
of the sea. No application of green
to the color of the sea is quoted before
Chaucer, but as early as the year 700
1t was used for vegetation. The word
is akin to grass" and grow" which
verb originally belonged to the vegeta-
BILE world alone. Vegetables grew"
but animals ''waXed" Green" comes
from an Aryan root, 'ghahr," meaning
to be green or yellow, and yellow"
gold" and "yolk" come from that
same root.
