MEN AND THINGS.
Harmon the Latest.


The Judson Harmon Presidential boom
hasn't made much progress yet, but it
doubtless will be heard Of in several
parts OF the country within the next few
weeks. II plans now tentatively suggested
are matured. Al present the politicians
appraise its value as interesting only in
that Cincinnati can boast of two candi-
dates for President, for Secretary Taft Is
also resident of that town. Mr.. Harmon,
1t is understood. has been brought for
ward to take the place in the popular
mind IN that niche which il was thought
would be accorded Judge George Gray by
Democrats of the safe and sane"
variety. It is thought that his connection
with certain trust and railroad inyesti-
cations at the behest of President RoOse-
welt viii lend particular attraction 10
Judge Harmon's candidacy, and it is sug-
gested that he could make revelations OF
the Paul Morton case that would at once
discredit certain element of RepubIi-
cans as "trust-busters" and at the same
time eXalt his own merits in that role.
1t was Judge Harmon. who. in assOcia-
ton with Frederick Juds0n, a st. Louis
Democrat, brought to the attention Of the
President, after he had commissioned
them 10 investigate the rebate question.
Mr.. Mortons participation in the Santa
Fe Railroads rebating system Mr. Nor
ton was then "A member Of the Cabinet,
and the Department OF Justice refused to
institute proceedings against him. Mr.
Harmon has talked very sparingly on
this interesting question since he turned
his commission back TO the President. and
MI Juds0n has talked not at all.
When Mr. Harmon was President Cleve-
lands last Attorney General, he brought TO
Washington the Cincinnati habit of eating
pie with the fingers. not. Of course. on
ceremoni0us occasions. but al quick lunch
stands.

Clerk of the House Of Representatives, in
the DAYS Of Democratic ascendency. has
been in town a couple of days renewing
many pleasant friendships. He is as fine
looking as in days gone by, and since his
retirement from office has prospered
greatly in business in New York City.
1T seems 10 me" said Mr.. Kerr at the
Willard. that If the old Democratic party.
throwing radicalism and other issues TO
the winds, would get itself together in ad-
VOcacy OF the ancient and h0uOred pTinci-
pies of the fathers Of the republic. which
used to be the essence OF Democratic
faith the chance for victory would be
bright A great many thoughtful men see
the dangerous road the country is travel
ing. and would gladly cali a halt before il
is too late. If the absolutism that Mexico
enjoys under Diaz is really a good thing,
as many seem TO think. then our old no.
tons of democracy were wrong, and the
country needs dictator rather than a

Wonderful.

Think of 10000 employees of one establishment being total ab- stainers. Isn't it wonderful? The greatest mail-order house in the world inaugurated the regime and in consequence their city passed an ordinance making the neighborhood a prohibition district.
 What one firm can do another can do. the government can do, until the whole land would be covered with temperance as waters cover the sea.
 An. but some one exclaims The Revenue. The Revenue.." They forget that the loss in rev enue is more than offset by the saving in criminal court costs.
 Prohibition means less crime, less disorders, empty jails and reformation. Oh! we are all, even to the politicians, beginning to realize the strength and in tensity of the anti-liquor senti : ment, and the good derived by it's adoption.
 Like the Epworth Herald in a recent issue: If Prohibition doesn't prohibit, there is lot of energy wasted by the drink bus ; mess in opposing prohibition. !"

Lee Mccain, the general night operator at the telegraph office here, generally after midnight, when no trains are passing, and no business to do, gets terribly lonesome. During these intervals he puts in the hours reading. Sometimes he reads newspapers, sometimes novels, and occasion ally he picks up a Diamond Dick story.
 i Last night he happened to hit on one of Dicks worst. There was plenty of blood and thunder in the plot. He had probably got ten half through with the story, and had reached a point where the hero was surrounded by ban dits, the situation was intense, and the readers hair was almost standing straight up under the critical stage, and the hazardous surroundings, when. .Nightwatch- ing kizer, who was standing on the depot platform just outside, turned loose a loud-sounding 45 Colts on a suspicious looking dog that came prowling around the corner, and Mr: Mccain, who is ordinarily a brave man, came near running $500 StetSon against the ceiling of the office.
