The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1906-01-26
Of John M. Pattison
Governor of Ohio
Delivered at Columbus, jan
uary 9Th, 1906

The following are the parts of Gov
ernor Pattison's address in which the
Issue readers are most interested:
The Members of the Seventy-seventh
General Assembly of Ohio:
Gentlemen congratulate you, as
members of the General Assembly, upon
the privilege of serving state which in
many respects is the greatest of all the
states of the Union. You are especially
fortunate in being elected by your con-
stituents at time when the people of
the whole state were aroused as they
had not been for many years; they were
aroused particularly as to what they
believed was for the best interests of
the home, the community and the state;
they were aroused as to their rights as
citizens and their right to representa-
tive government
At the last election the people did not
think that partisan politics were in
volved in the issues. I trust, there
fore, that you will pass no legislation ,
for partisan purposes. Let us, one and
all, do our respective duties with an
of the people, and, by so doing, we shall
best serve our state and our party.
AS the temperance question was one
of the. issues in the last election, I
recommend that the original Brannock
bill, as passed by the house and amended
by the senate, or one similar in pur-
pose, be enacted. The Brannock meas
ure, as thus presented, represented the
views of the great majority of the
people, who were in favor of excluding
saloons from residential districts. Ohio
is so great a state, and we as citizens
have for many years been SO proud of
it's greatness and the many men it has
given the nation, that we have failed
to note the fact that in laws in the
interest of temperance-laws to re-
strain the evils of the liquor traffic
many other states have outstripped it.
Since 1852 there have been enacted
virtually but three measures to this
end, namely the Beatty law, the Beal
law and the Brannock law; the first
to give local option to townships; the
second to give it to municipalities, and
the third to confer it on residential
districts within cities.
The Dow tax laws and other similar
laws were enacted at the request of
the saloon and liquor interests in an
attempt to make the business of the
former respectable; I therefore recon-
mend for your consideration the advis-
ability of enacting laws more in har-
mony with those of other states, and

''Who was the original Bluebeard?"
asks a writer in the London Chronicle.
He continues: eve owe the familiar
Bluebeard OF the pantomime 10 Charles
Perrault. the Frenchman who publish
ed in 1696-97 his immortal stories OF
Biuebeard,' The Sleeping Beauty
Little Red Riding Hood and 'Clnder-
ella But it is very uncertain who, II
anybody, was Perraults model for
Bluebeard. Some have supposed that
It was our Henry VIII, others that the
tale Is a lampoon upon the castle lords
Of knight errantry days IN general.
Perhaps the favorlte candidate has
been Giles de Rails, marshal Of France,
who was hanged and burned in 144O
for an awful series Of crimes. During
fourteen years he was believed to have
kidnapped about 100 children, tortured
them. sacrificed them to the devil,
burned their bodies and buried their
bones in his castle grounds. But the
resemblance between his tale and Blue
boards is too slight to be convincing"

Massachusetts, on visiting the birth
place Of Horace Greeley in Amherst,
