"a public official should be clean

"a public official should be clean

Roosevelt early in his administra-

q sad departure from that high

he has dismissed former Minister
Bowen but retained Assistant Sec-
rotary of State Loomis, after Mr..
Loomis has been proven to have
invested in Venezuelan securities,
while Minister to that country,
end now he has exalted Loomis by
making him a special ambassador
to France to receive the body of
John PenI Jones. and has arrang-
ed that Mr.. Loomis' European va
catiOE shall cost him nothing by
giving him a commission to in
vestieate the American diploma
tic costs in Europe. The Presi-
dents bold stand for railway rate
legislation won for him the respect
of Americans irrespective of party
and many there were who hoped
that We had returned to the early
days Of the republic. at least to
the extent of having a non-parti-
san President. The Presidents
courageous stand with regard to
the tariff hogs who are standing
with their feet in the trough

was soon abandoned. It may still

all probability soon become the
happy possessor of considerable
real estate and property which will
make her exceedingly wealthy.

a large portion of the land upon
which the city of New York now
stands. and had been leased to the
CITY for SO years by her grand
fathers brother Gideon Mercer.
He afterwards willed the property
to his brother, David Mercer. The

since the death of her father and
grandfather. the ten heirs left have
been making an effort to get
hold of the property and now have
it in fair shape to be divided in
the near future It is hoped that
Mrs Keyse will be successful in
obtaining her portion and will be
able to spend the remainder of her
days in ease and oomfort.-Pome.

The Democratic state conven
ton nominated a splendid ticke
and adopted platform that meanl
something. It is a clean. clear
straightout declaration that doel
not contain an ambiguous line
The convention was the largest
that has been neld by either party
in the state for the past twenty
years and was dominated entirely
by the country delegates. The
big delegations from Hamilton
Cuyahoga, Franklin, Lrcts and
Montgomery counties for once
were compelled to take back seat
by the militant and determined
delegates from the rural districts,
who were there to do things and
they did them to the surprise OF
the professional politicians. The
convention was an entirsfy har.
monious one There was not a
discordant note either in the pre-.
liminary or real work of the con-
vention and for the first time in q
dozen years there were no contest
ing delegations or protests over the
platform. The candidates are men
of high character and fine ability
and their election in November is
confidently expected by the masses
of people who have grown disgust
ed with the Cox regime. The
name of William Jennings Bryan
was Cheered to the echo, attestinR
the brilliant Nebraskan still re-.
tains on the rank end file of the

chances for victory this fall are
more than even. Let !GalIia be

The losses in the war between
Japan and Russia already foot up
half a million men. The Japanese,
in an indirect way, admit the loss
of two hundred thousand, and
whether they admit it or not, the
Russian losses are known to be
over three hundred thousand.
Ninety-nine hundreths of these
men never knew what the war was
about. None of the men who
caused the war are in the list of
casualties. Two depots, and ooun-
cillors of their own choosing,
brought on the conflict, which
others were to fight out; their sole
motive being expansion by brute
