REPUBLICAN OPENING
BY VICE PRESIDENT FAIRBANKS
Says Republicans VIII Readiust Tariff
When Demand Exists-WiIl Also
Enact Just Railroad Leg
islation.

Bellefontaine, Ohio, Sept. 24.-Beau-
tiful weather and immense crowds
were features of the opening of the
Republican state campaign here yes
terday. Republican clubs from all
parts of the state arrived early in the
day to participate in the parade which
was held during the morning.
Judge Dow was chairman of the
meeting. Music was furnished by the
Republican Glee Club of. Columbus,
and the address of Vice President
Fairbanks followed. He said:
Let well enough alone is a well
worn phrase, yet is possesses great vir-
tue. When business conditions are
unexcelled, when both labor and capi-
tai are generally and profitably en-
ployed, it is not the part of wisdom to
revolutioniZe political parties.
"A Republican Congress will read
just tariff schedules whenever such re-
adjustment is essential to preserve the
integrity of the system and to main
tain the law in wholesome operation
Change will not be made for the mere
sake of change, or to promote free
trade, whose disastrous effects we
well understand. An adjustment of
duties will be made responsive to n
sound economic demand. Whenever
such demand exists, Congress will in
wise and patriotic way give effect to
it. 1t will not proceed in manner
to disturb and unsettle, but to main
tain the stability of commercial condi-
tions. The subject will be considered,
not in a narrow and technical spirit,
but in broad way, having in view the
largest common good.
THE subject of railway discrimina-
tions is of wide interest. The ques-
tion is obviously one to be dealt with
with full knowledge and not by an ap-
peal to prejudice or by loud acclama-
ton.
ut must be settled, not in the light
of mere personal or party politics, but
according to principles of strict JUS
tice: in the light of right as between
man and man. 1t will be settled. In
the language of your platform. SO as to
promote and insure the rights of indi-
viduals. interests and localities. Legis-
lation which had been hitherto enacted
to cure the generally admitted evils
has not accomplished all that was In
tended or all that was deemed neces-
sary.
'The President has brought the mat.
ter to the attention OF Congress and
Congress may he relied upon to pro-
ceed. in the light of past experience
and present information. to enact such
laws as will effectually remove the
evils which confessedly exist.
There must be an end of discrim'
ination.

LIGHTING LORE.
AcETYLENE ExcELs AS AN ILLu.
MINANT.
Gas for Lighting Formerly Confined to
Cities and Large Towns, now in
General Use in the Country.

The satisfactory lighting of subur-
ban and country homes requires that
the means used shall be convenient.
safe, economical and furnish a bcil-
liant, penetrating, effulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics of the candle
or kerosene lamp. which, formerly,
were the only feasible means of pro-
ducing light for domestic use in the
rural districts.
For generations there was crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape OF
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple ap-
plication of water, the gas Acetylere
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used.
Common lime and carbon in the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma.
terials which, fused in an intensely
heated furnace. make Calcium Car
bide, and there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning 1t in any part of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cium Carbide is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted. is but little
larger than a thirty-gallon milk can,
and of the same general form. 1t is
easily and cheaply installed. either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetylene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. 1t does not taint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.
