COX AND THE JUDICIARY.

Unless the people of Ohio, and the
honest members of the bar, without re-
gard to party allegiance, unite in the
election of an anti-Cox, anti-boss and
anti-gang legislature, they may expect
to see the bench of the state, especially
the common pleas bench, become a
menace to instead Of a conseryator of
the most sacred rights of citizens.
For some reason known to himself
Georbe B. Cox of Cincinnati for years
has been engaged in securing the pass
age of judicial gerrymandering bills.
Less than 20 years ago there were
about as many judicial subdivisions in
the state giving Democratic as Repub-
lican majorities.
Today they are so constructed that
over 80 per cent of them contain Re-
publican majorities. There are now
about six judicial subdivisions in
which the most perfectly qualified Dem
ocrat, to sit on the bench, can be
elected over the least fitted Republican
candidate. In all the others the un-
fittest Republican can defeat the fittest
Democrat that may be named.
This condition of things is no less
disgraceful than it is dangerous. In
stead Of the judicial subdivisions being
so constructed that the best man may
be chosen to the judiciary, they are de-
signed to increase the opportunities
of the worst men to mount the bench.
Why George B. Cox so zealously in
terested himself in thus partisanizing
the judiciary and practically disfran-
chising over 46 per cent of the voters
of the state? Is 1t for any good and
unselfish purpose? No man of intelli-
gence thinks so.
Men who seek to partisanize and de-
base the Judiciary do so for sinister
and mercenary purposes. And when
you see them grow into millionaires
without engaging in recognized profess
sions or legitimate employment you
may know they are achieving their
ends

date in 1904. Encouraging crop pros
poets provide a large share of the good
feeling. Railway earnings in the first
half of August surpassed last years by
5.3 per cent, while foreign commerce at
this port for the last week exceeded the
movement a year previous by $2,410,-
566 in exports and $4,000 in imports.
Money goes to the interior unusually
early, but prices of securities have at
tained new high water mark during
the past week and bank exchanges at
New York exceed those of the same
week last year py 51.3 per cent, while
at other leading cities the gain is 10
per cent.
Sentiment has improved in the iron
and steel industry; more blast fur
naces have resumed, and the price of
Bessemer pig has hardened in anticipa-
tion of liberal purchases by the leading
interests. Actual transactions are still
somewhat limited, but confidence in the
future is becoming more widely diff
fused, and the prediction is frequently
expressed in the trade that 1906 will
prove the most prosperous year ON rec
ord, provided boom, with its attended
imitation of prices, is avoided"

WORKING TO FULL CAPACITY.

Dun's comment on the trade Of the
week, in part, is as follows:
Distribution of autumn merchan-
disc is in progress unusually early this
year, and the volume of forward busi-
ness is SO heavy that the last half of
1906 promises to establish remarkable
record of commercial activity. Current
retail trade is we'll maintained, the ur-
gency of orders received by jobbers In
dicating that dealers stocks are be-
coming depleted, and there is little
complaint regarding collections. More
labor disputes have reached settlement
and no serious controversies are threat
ened, while In many sections the sup
ply of wage earners Is inadequate. Spe-
cial reports regarding manufacturing
conditions have been received from
about forty leading Industrial centers,
and there is surprising unanimity in
the statements. With scarcely an ex-
ception, plants are working close to full
capacity, with little idle machinery
except where alterations or improve
ments are In progress. and contracts
ON hand far exceed those held at this

Serious complaint is being made
about the short life Of the steel bridges
now being put in over the country. The
steel will not stand exposure to the
clements, and 1t is only few years
until structure is so deteriorated as
to impair its safety; paint does not
seem to be able to stop the decay Of
the metal. The old-fashioned wrought
iron bridges are much more lasting,
even If they are not painted. In this
connection 1t may not be out of place
to say that there are 5000 bridges or
culverts in Stark county alone. The
same complaint about the steel in the
bridges is also true about the steel
sheets used in making tin; this kind
of tin is so poor that it is hardly worth
while to put it on building. So much
of it is being sold that there is becom-
ing quite a boom in other kinds of
roofing, and the prediction is made
that If something is not done to i'm
prove the quality of the tin now on
the market that the use of it for roofing
purposes will soon be practically aban-
doned

How tho Beef Trust Rigs the Livestock
Market, and Always Be ats the Farmer.
In the May number of Everybod-
US Magazine Mr.. Charles E. Russell,
in his article on "The Greatest Trust
in the World" shows exactly how
the Beef Trust manipulates the mar.
ket. "On Monday, February 6,
1906" he says, sthe Chicago receipts
of hogs were ligat, $4,000 as as
against $4,000 on the previous Sat-
urday. This afforded the exact sit
uation that best suits the Trust man.
ayers. They can make prices as they
please, and they put up the price of
hogs % cents a hundred weight.
As the offerings were light their
purchases at the high figure were
few. AS soon as the advance price
had been widely telegraphed land
the cunning supervision of market
quotations has been reduced by the
Trust to an absolute science), q great
rush of hogs was started from all
directions. On Wednesday they ar
rived. Immediately the Trust put
the price down to fifteen cents lower
than Mondays opening figures, and
at this rate bought immense droves,
with which they proceeded to fill
cellars"

Nearly every week we hear OF
two or three convicts making their
escape from the penitentiary CT
from the State farms. Last week
John Watson, a white man, who
was convicted of murder in Vance
county last October. and was SEN
tencee for q term Of twenty-five
years in the penitentiary, and Will
Smith, negro, who was serving a
sentence of ten years for housebreak-
ing, both made their escape.
What is the matter with some of
our good government officials? Are
they negligent Of duty or why do
they let these men escape? They
are paid by the State to see that
these men do not escape. There
should be an Investigation as to the
cause of 80 many convicts being al
lowed to escape.
The News and Observer is always
wanting to investigate and here's a
good job for it. Buy some white
