A SUGGESTION.

During the recent encampment oi
the G.. A. r, several business men who
were observing the display made by
the merchants through the heart Of
the city made the remark that some
arrangements should be made to have
a permanent electric display OF mean
descent lights on arches, similar 70
the display on High street in Colum
bus. The News has interviewed sew
.ral Of the prominent men in the city,
and they are in hearty accord with the
suggestion. II Market, from South 10
North street, and Tuscarawas, from
Cleveland avenue TO the w. q L. 4.
station, was decorated in this manner
the improvement would be one the
city would never have cause 10 regret
OF course the matter of expense
must be taken into consideration. II
is possible that the light company
will make low rate by which the
company might stand one.half OF the
cost. Canton is the coming conyeD.
ton city of Ohio. and 1t behooyes thu
people to make. Improvements Of this
character, 70 that the visitors will be
pleased and spread the faRe of Can.
ton far and wide. The increased cost
Of these lights may not be very much,
as the present arc lights in the dis.
trlct so lighted may be done away
with.
The News would be pleased 10 hear
from the citizens az TO their views in
regard TO the proposition.

HIGH SPEED STEEL

''Bigness inseverything is become so
characteristic OF the material things
that go TO make up modern civiliza-
tion that only undertakings of tre-
mendous magnitude attract more than
passing notice" Thus writes o. NJ.
Becker In the July number OF the
Technical World Magazine. "Thirty
story buildings, three mile dams, and
Panama canals alone are able to hold
the public eye long eniugh 10 be even
a seven-days' wonder Next week It
is an old story and not at all won
derful.

doubtedly have an important part In

tory Of civilization. There are how
ever, other agencies at work In this
development. some OF them surely de-

methods and efiicieneies now regarded
as superlative, and one 81 these agen-
'cies, yet quite unknown 10, the gen
eral public. but nevertheless already
exerting powerful influence upon in
dustrial eficiencfes, has made a place
for itself in the modern machine shop.
The essential function OF the machine
shop is TO ft accurately the various
metal parts which are TO be assembled
into ether machinery OF one sort or
another; and this is generally done
by cutting or pairing away any excess
and unevenness OF metal left in the
casting or forging. This sort OF cut
ting obviously is something very diff
ferent from that seen in the wood
shop. for example. Special tools and
machines. the former strong and hard
enough and the latter rigid and pow
erful enough, are necessary to remove
the excess OF material from steel. iron
Or other resistent metals. Ordinary
cutting edges, as they are commonly
would not do at all.
An account OF the processes by
which high-speed steel has been per-
fected and the uses TO which II is put
forms subject matter in an exceeding
~ interesting article OF some length,
amply illustrated.

An Airshlp Excuse.

(From the London Outlook)
Al the beginning of the sixteenth
century an Italian alchemist who had
come TO Scotland and been made abbot
OF Tungland in Galloway made him
self wings OF the feathers OF various
birds, He started frop the walls OF
Sterling Castle to ny TO France: The
wings failed him. however, and he fell
breaking. his thigh-bone. The entor-
prisins abbot explained his failure as
due to a wrong choice OF feathers In
his wings were some feathers OF the
common fowl and their affinity for
their native dunghill dragged him
down; had they been entirely OF
eagles feathers these would have kept
him aloft.

AUTOMATIC" LIABILITY.
(From the Chicago News)


II is a grave reproach 10 the Ameri-
can people that they have been con-
tent thus far TO leave the injured
worker and those dependent upon hin
10 bear the burden of any accident by
which his wage-earning ability Is
taken from him, True, a lawsuit may
bring relief. But heavy expense, long
delay and great uncertainty are in
volved In court actions. Besides, II is
an outrage that the injured man
should be compelled TO fight for sim.
pie justice.
(From the Providence Journal)
From the employers point Of view
there is another consideration worth
noting An automatic" scale Of pay
ments for injuries would at least re-
lieye him from the chance OF being
muleted in unduly heavy damages
tFrom the Detroit JouTnal)
There Is everything 10 be said IN
favor OF plan of this kind and moth
ing against IL. BY doing away with
damage suits for personal injuries the
docket of the Wayne circuit court
would be reduced about one-third,
cases would not drag over from year
to year and the judges woaiu have an
easy time OF II. Speculation In law
suits would be done away with and
the champetry Of lawyers would find
their business gone. Jury-fxing by
big corporations would become a thing
Of the past There would be no more
erratie verdiets whereby one jury
would grant $4,000 for a particular
injury and another jury allow only
$500.

CORNELIUS

(By George U. Marvin.)

Nby beOIBe ". MaTYin.D
Columbus, O., June 16--It is doubt
ful II case calling for executive de-
cision ever received more careful con
sideration than has that of james Cor
nelius, of Canton. Cornelius, who is
under sentence OF electrocution for
the murder OF his wife, has already
been reprieved twice by Governor
Harris, first that his case might be
taken up by the board OF pardons, and
the second time that the governor,
himself, might more fully 90 over the
testimony. The board Of pardons re.
fused to interfere, saying they could
find nothing in the case which In any
way would form the basis Of a recon-
mendatlon for clemency or the com.
mutation OF the sentence TO imprls.
onment for life. Governor Harris
then went into the matter himself.
He read and re-read every scrap and
particle OF testimony. He sat up late
at night and called into consultation
eminent men who reviewed the testi-
mony with him 10 see II there were
not some thing which could form a rea.
sonable excsuse for interference. Hay-
ing done all this, at the last moment
the Governor granted n further re
prieve, for fear that he might have
overlooked something which might
lead him to regret the fact that he had
not issued communication to imprison.
ment for life. Since the granting OF
the last reprieve the governor has
gone In to the case even more care
fully and completely than he did the
first time. Whether he has found any.
thing which viii justify clemenoy is
not known and viii not be until his
decision is given to the public. The
governor does not believe In capital
punishment. He abhors the idea OF
the state taking life. and can find no
justification for II on the plea OF de-
fense TO society. But he has sworn
10 uphold and carry out the law, and
the law demands 'electrocution for
murder. Therefore the governor feels |
hat he must do his duty and II duty |
declares for the fulfillment OF the sen.
tence he will not interfere. But II q |
way presents itself by which he can
justify his action he will Interfere |
and send Cornelius TO the peniten- |
tiary for life. His decision will not |
be known for several days.

The agitation against the owners OF
automobiles who persist in breaking
the law and rushing through the
streets at a -forty-mile,an-hour clip is
growing instead OF getting less. An
organization is 10 be formed here
which will reach through the state,
having for its purpose the arrest and
prosecution OF these offenders OF the
law. Columbus will furnish sufficient
work for several attorneys at the
start. In no city OF the state is the
law regulating the speed OF these
machines more wilfully and generally
disobeyed, In fact, large percentage
OF the owners pay no attention TO II at
all, holding II as evidently OF no con-
sequence, The organization when un-
der way will have branches In every
town In the state where an automobile
is owned. and will also reach out into
the country districts where less regard
for the life of people and animals Is
shown than in the towns.
Attorney General Ellis has held in
an opinion that meat used by state In
stitutions must be meat which has
come from Ohio animals and 70 con-
stitute an Ohio animal II must have
been within the state at least sixty
days. The question arose over the
awarding OF bid for meat to be used
by the Soldiers Home at Dayton. The
Armour company, Of Chicago, submit
ted the,lowest bid, but in order that II
may be awarded them the meat
which they furnish must come from
native Ohio animals.
