TO REVISE SCHOOL CODE.

The campaign for the federal plan
Of school government and school leg
islation will soon be begun by edu
Gators throughout the state.
At q meeting of the legislative COM
hittee the matter of bringing school
legislation to the attention of the state
legislature will be considered, and
especially the desirability of making a
light for the federal plan of school
government, which was done away
with by Republican legislature.
Not only will the legislative com
mittee of the club map out plans for
legislation, but meeting will be call
ed within a short time VI the legis-
lative committee of the Ohio State
Teachers association, the represent
tive organization of the teachers OF
the state.

ADVICE TO MR.. WELkER.

Representative Welker has his nerve
with him when he comes forward and
asks that the Republicans choose him
for speaker of the house. He might
allow that honor to go to some one
who was popular enough to carry the
party vote, and not one who secured a
certificate of election because of errors
in counting the votes. The speaker
ship fight will be the old one over
again between the better element OF
the party and the liberals, and Mr..
Wellter represents the liberal element
Should he get the caucus nomination
he could not hold his party vote on
the floor of the house.-Alliance
Leader.

TAFT's TIMELY WARMING.

The public statement by Secretary
of War Taft, concerning the Cox-Dick
state and local machine, while ad-
dressed to Republicans is no less i'm
rortant to Democratic voters.
Secretary Taft recognizes that the
boss machine is a wounded snake
rather than dead one. you must
watch the machine and take care tnat
il does not recover from the effects
of the blow already delivered. Ii
you do not, it will quickly recover, and
become more corrupt and dangerous
than it was before"
The secretary knows whereof he
speaks. He does not want the bruised
head of the serpent to heal, because
that would result in new evils to the
real Republican party. Let Democrat
ic, and especially Democratic iegis'
lators and officials remember thai
the corrupting influences of the now
broken machine, contaminated the
whole state and the whole people.
To permit it to revive and recuper'
ate would be even more criminally
negligent on the part of the Demo
Gratis than on the part of the Repub
licans.
The preponderating ballots cast on
the 7th of November were a mandate
to the honest Legislators of both par.
ties to wipe out, by repeal or amend
ment as circumstances require, all the
grating laws now on the statute books
whether it be graft in the FORM OF
extravagtnt salaries or uncalled for
and unnecessary offices. They cannot
afford to close their ears to that man

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 22.-There was
quite lively discussion in the Fed
Grafton of Labor convention Tuesday
over lne action Of the grievance COM
mittee condemning the publication of
souvenir programs by labor organiza
tions. The committee acted favorably
on resolution eondemning the Central
Labor Union, Of Philadelphia for in
serting non-union advertising in their
labor day souvenirs. There was quite
a difference between number of the
delegates on the question.
One delegate from Massachusetts
contended that more money had to
be spent in undoing the harm wrought
by unprincipled persons who solicit
advertisements for alleged souvenirs
books.
Nearly a score of delegates and Pres
ident Gompers attacked the system
which was finally condemned by an
, unanimous vote.
