Points from His Address.

In his address the governor paid
many compliments to the Latin race.
declaring that there were many things
the Angio-SaXons could claim from the
I4atins. but the old Latin custom of
putting two or three men at the head
of all the branches of the state was
played ont. The people, whose money
was invested. he said, We're better able
to administer their own interests than
any offieials, however, intelligent In
this matter tile United States had 200
years advantage over the Latins Con-
tinuing the governor said: 'sThe Unit
ed States is now able from her expert
ence to help other nations towards a
successful government" This state
ment was greteed with applause.
Only in Cuba to Help Her.
He said it was sad for him to be
here. but sadder for President Roose-
Welt. who sent him, but he assured his
hearers in the name Of President
Roosevelt that l am here only to
help you on, and with. my arm under
your arm to lift you again to the re-
sumption OF the wonderful progress
you have made" He declared that
Cuba owed profound debt Of graft

tion-Moderates Complain.
Havana, Oct ?. - An anti-United
States demonstration occurred in IIa-
vana when $50 academy students and
other youths struggled through some
of the downtown streets shouting
Viva the Cuban republic" Down
with American control The demon
stration was not treated seriously. 10
addition TO this it is reported here from
Guantanamo that COO armed rebels, col
! lected near that town. are Selling
horses, cattle and provisions. Govern
or Taft and the Cuban authorities re-
gard the report as exaggerated.
The executive committee of the Mod
crate party has issued a manifesto
strongly intimating that the United
States commission is TO blame for the
situation. II summarizes the attitude
of the party, eulogizes ex-President
/ Palma, his actions and his resignation,
! re.terates the legality of the last cleo
/ tons, and denies all responsibility for
4 the revolution and the results thereof.
/ The manifesto asserts that the bases
presented by President Roosevelt's
commissioners were practically the
same rs those submitted by the Liber-
ais. In justification of their action in
deserving congress the Moderate lead
ers say that Intervention was then al
ready az accomplished fact. They con-
slider that the intimation of the Unit
ed States commissioners that the re-
/ teItion of the presidency by Senior
Palma was the only possible solution
made n result other than armed inter
vCntion impossible.
The document says also that the
United States commissioners. in order
to back their erroneous Interpretation
of the situation, sent letter to the
speaker of the house stating positive
ly certain conditions as essential fol-
the person eligible TO the presidency
The Moderate party could not act with
out liberty of action, and it therefore
resolved not to return to congress.

Taft and Bacon Still Further Please

the Cubans Thereby.
Following the university exercises it
became known that Governor Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon had
cabled for their wives TO join them
here, a step which cannot but be most
agreeable to the Cuban people. and
which viii strongly cement the bonds
Of affection between them and the
United States provisional administra-
ton. Still another act of Governor
Taft IS warmly commended as illus
trative of his thoughtful consideration
of the humber classes. Learning that
many poor families occupying the
I temporarily diSused barracks at Camp
Columbia were about TO be summarily
eyicted by order Of the Cuban authori-
ties. in preparation of the occupation
of the quarters By the brigade Of ma

these people remain undisturbed in
their homes for a period of fifteen

POSTAL LAW ABUSED
Postoffics Department Official
Gives More Facts About the
One-Cent Postage.
CAUSES A $14Ooo,OOo DEFICIT
Some Extraordinary "Newspa pers "
Which Are Mailed Under the
Statute-Nferchan6is That
Is Also Sent.

New York, Oct. > - The United /
States postal commission, which is in
yestfgatlng the alleged violations of the
law BY publications which Illegally
enjoy the one-cent postage rate met
here The commission is composed of
United States Senator'S Penrose, of
Pennsylvania (ehairman); Clay, OF
Georgia. and Carter, Of Montana. and
Representatives Overstreet, of Indiana:
Gardner, of New Jersey, and Moon OF
Tennessee. Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Edward c. Madden, who
represents Postmaster General Cortel-
you. read a long address to the COM
mission, in which he cited the evils
which he said have resulted from des
fectiye legislation covering the clasSi
fication of pound rate postal matter.
Postal Deficit of STA, ooO,O0o.
He said that the deficit in postal
receipts last year was more than Sl4.-
100000, and that most OF this is di-
rectly chargeable to publications that
have unlawfully taken advantage OF
the low rate when they could not fill
the requirements of the postal regula-
tons. The admittance of magazines
and other publications to the low rate
requires that each must have n bona
fide subscription list, and that each
subscription must be paid for by the
subscriber or a friend. Letters which
| the poStoffice authorities sent out to
persons whose names were on some
alleged fraudulent lists, said Madden,
| brought replies to the effect that the
! individual in number Of cases was
receiving the magazine without paying
for II.
Law Deficient in Definition.
| Madden said that the act does not
define what a newspaper really is. He
produced a large number Of so-called
newspapers which conformed with ev-
cry requirement of the law, and yet
are so small that they weigh sixty to
the pound. In appearance they are
simply nothing more or less than
pamphlets, and yet on account of the
| incompleteness of the law they are ad-
mitted st the cent a pound rate.
Liliputian Newspapers"
To illustrate the great abuses to
which the rate act is subjected Mad
den exhibited many publications which
he said were called newspapers. Near
" all of these were western publica-
tons. Several of them We're only three
by two and a half inches, having six
pages. He severely criticised the make
up of some of the Sunday papers. He
declared that although books are ex
cluded from the second class rate
many stories are printed in the Sun
day papers from book form in weekly
or daily instruments.
Other Abuses of the Law.
Many newspapers, Madden said, is
sued supplements such as calendars
encyclopedias. picture postal cards anC
the like, all of which are not legally
provided for by the cent a pound rate
; In some industrial magazines it wa
shown by him that full pages samples
of writing paper, wall paper and ever
wooden suitings are inserted, which i
carried in the mails in any other wa.
would be chargeable at is cents
pound.

Pleas
Court

Heavy fines were administered
last Thursday and Friday to
Charles Swearinger and John
Heavener, of Murray City, in the
cases arising from the troubles be-
tween the Anti Saloon detectives,
Vein aid Frambes, and the people
of Murray.
Swearinger was indicted twice
for selling liquor on Sunday. On
the trial of the first one, the jury
found him guilty, and his fine was
fixed at $50 and costs. Swearin-
ger made oath that he had sold
only a drink of whiskey to Wein,
who claimed he was ill and needed
it for medicinal purposes. Wein
and Frambes testified that they
had bought beer of the defendant
on the Sunday in question. A
plea of guilty was entered 10 the
second indictment, and fine Of
the same amount was assessed for
that,
The most serious oilense for
which Swearinger was indicted
was the assault committed, by
him and Joe Girard, on detective
Wein, in front of the Court House,
while the latter was here as a
grand jury witness. Girard was
the real aggressor in this assault,
having struck Vein in the face
with a hotel register at the oon-
mencement of hostilities, and
Swearinger only took a hand in
the affair when Vein started 10
retaliate. Both men were arrest
ed at the time and fined by Mayor
Dolllson under the city ordinance,
for fighting. Judge Martin, in
pronouneipg the sentence for this
assault, 10 which Swearinger
pleaded guilty, laid emphasis on
the gravity of the oifense Of at
taeking q person who was here IN

years and one month.
She was united in marriage to
James Smelts on July 4, 1851. To
this union were born nine children,
five sons and four daughters, three
of whom, two daughters and one
SON, proceeded her to the spirit
world.
She removed with her parents to
Ohio when l6 years of age, living

MILTON aArrNrY.

The death of Milton Gaffney,
last Saturday night at n little past
ten o'clock, removed from our
midst one of Lognn's oldest and
best known citizens. Mr.. Gaffney
had suffered for nine weeks from
severe stroke of aphasia. He
was 70 years, 6 months, and 3
days old at the time of his demise.
Mr.. Glffney was horn October
%, 1926, in Muskingum Co., near
GAINESVILLE, o. He was the youn-
gest son of Martin and Mary Hill
Gafrney. At an early age he ex-
perienced in the death Of his
mother one of earth's greatest
losses. At the age of 10 he learn
ed cabinet making in Il furniture
factory in GAINESVILLE; two years
later he secured employment in
the railroad pattern shop and be.
came very proficient in this line of
work.
On October lS, 1949 he married
Matilda Marp!e, at White Cot
tage, Muskingum, Co, O.. To
this union the following children
were born: Charles, Frank, Allen
and william; Charles and Allen
having died in early manhood.
In the year of 1857, 40 years
ago, he came to Logan and secured
employment as a pattern maker in
the Raymond Belt foundry.
Three years later, in 1860, when
the cry to arms was heard through
the land he responded to his
country's call, and in May enlisted
in Company B of the 3lst., Regi-
ment, serving under Capt. James
Rochester. After two years of
active service his term expired
and he re-enlisted as veteran and
continued in the service four years
lacking is days. While not on
duty at the front he proved him
self valuable man to his country
turning his attention to the manu-
featuring of wagon tongues, and
the making of other needed re-
pairs to the wagons or the army.
AT the close Of tie war, his health
somewhat impaired, he turned his
attention to outdoor work and be
came very efficient carpenter and
hopper builder.
Mr.. Gatf'ney was ut one time u
member Of the Presbyterian
church, and of the Lodge of Good
Templars. He was careful read
er, was able to render an intelli-
gent opinion upon most any sub
iect, and was very positive in his
likes and dislikes, Nature was
beautiful to him and he was never
so happy as when beholding her
face to face in her hills, trees and
streams
Mr.. Gaffney is survived by his
wife, his sons, Frank and William

from jail here few days ago, had

we'll knowing that it was buos
from the liquor element Of the
town.
A five dollar bill was not a
marker to the money Dollison re-
ceived on election day to assist in
getting out the vote by hiring rigs
and securing persons to work at
the polls. A prominent Republi-
can on Gallagher Avenue gave
him $500 and another ~ to
help his cause along, saying that
they wanted to defeat Mayor
Tritsch because Of street paving.
Another man gave up $500 to de-
feat Tritsch because he had fought
the gas proposition. Several
pushed Dollison 8 campaign for
this reason or that, but no person
ever mentioned the tender of his
services or his money, because of
"liberal" saloon policy. To the
contrary every person who read
the paper could not help but know
that Doilison would enforce the
laws if elected Mayor.
"Did you not enter the cam
paign with the understanding
among a majority OF the saloon
men that you would see that their
interests were not sacrificed, and
that things would go on about the
same as they had been going|
Did not; else why should the
saloon interests have fought Dolli-
son. eco on about the same as
they had been going" says Huls.
If "they had been going" to suit
the saloon men, why should they
vote to change it?
''Is it not true that a short time
before the election you got scared,
and in order to get votes from the
temperance people, you made such
promises that afterward made it
necessary for you to break faith
with the very men who discovered
you?"
Dollison did not get scared
during the whole campaign, and
he began to think 1T unanimous
for him, when he walked into Hu!s
Office and Huls pledged himself
for Dollison, and condemned
Tritsch and his wide open adj
ministrati"n in bitter terms. May
or Dollison broke faith with no.
body. HIS policy was clearly out
lined in his paper week after week.
1t is indeed sickening to hear
Huls talk about Mayor Dollison
not doing right because it is right.
Such censure from a saint might
remind us that we are but flesh,
but coming from one who thought
it was fright" to shield himself
from a dastardly crime by accus-
ing another, it hardly seems cen
sure upon us. We have an old
yellow Sill Pursell pencil sharpen
ed up for this gentleman Huls,
and we propose to show him up in
