Fl. ME|GS MONUMENT
MONUMENT TO BE LOCATED IN.
SIDE THE OLD BREAST
WORKS.

The commission, appointed by Gov.
ernor Harris, to decide upon a loca'
tion at Ft. Meigs for the proposed
monument to the fallen heroes of a
hundred years ago, has decided to
place the memorial inside the old
breastworks, says the Blade, and ele-
waited SO it may be easily seen from
the river and Maumee.
There is nothing to the alleged
complaint that the commission did
not satisfy a committee of 20 mem
bers of the Maumee Valley Historical
association" said Secretary William
Corlett, of the Ft. Meigs commission
today. Some time ago, the commits
sion sent out letters asking for sug-
gestions as to the location of the mon
ument Fifteen citizens responded
Of these, seven voted for a site inside
the fort and eight outside. The COM
mission has finally decided to erect
the memorial inside the breast
works.
IF the commission put the monu-
ment inside the fort, and the breast
works are restored, as expected, why
the memorial would be hidden from
view. So we have agreed to elevate
the monument in such a way so it
can clearly be seen from the river.
The statement in the Maumee Era
thai committee of twenty-five decid-
ed to put the monument on the brow
of the hill inside the fort and that
the commission went against their
wishes in selecting a site outside the
fort, near the river road, has nothing
to do with the matter. There was no
committee of twenty-five. Out of fif-
teen, eight wanted it built outside the
fort"
Corlett has addressed a letter to
the Era explaining the matter.

MISS JANE STONE
THE NOTED OIL OPERATOR, DIED
AT cELlNA SATURDAY
NIGHT

Miss Jane Stone, who owned large
oil interests in Wood county, died at
Celina Saturday night.
Miss Stone was about eighty-one
years of age and besides being very
feeble had been greatly worried of
late concerning her business affairs.
Owing to her inability to manage
her affairs she had been thrown into
bankruptcy and it was but Friday,
the day before she died that her
brother Summer II. Stone, of New
York, and two sisters Helen S. and
Della S. Clarke, of New York, settled
up all claims against her property
and had the bankruptcy matteT dis

The case was finally disposed of in
United States court Monday at Tole-
do. Miss Stone was probably the
most extensive woman oil operator in
the United States, and it was not
until recent years that her properties
began to decay and fall away in
value and her fortune slip away from
her, principally through mismanage-

FRIDAY NOVEMBER 5, l9o1

Mr.. John d. Rockefeller in an in
terview recently, discussed in most
optimistic tones, the commercial and
financial condition of the country. lie
speaks of its immense natural re-
sources and declares that the pros
perity of the United States has not
vet reached its climax, that opportun-
tiles instead of being past are multi
piled a thousand fold. "The central
lied corporation is a necessity OF pro-
eress," says the creator OF the stand
ard Oil Company, and on this point
he speaks bravely and truthiully'
The corporation supplants individual
effort in business as the machine
has displaced hand labor, and now
ever, we may rail against corpora
tions no one cares to return to prl-
mitiye conditions. That corporations
are a necessity in the complex lie Oh
this generation no one but a dema-
gogue attempts to deny, but the pro
blem of the day is to put the cor
poration in its proper place where IL
will be the honest servant of the pub
lie. Mr.. Rockefeller, with that Keen
perception which has made him the
business genius that he is, sees the
tendency of the times and covers the
whole case when he declares, that:
1T is incumbent upon them (the
business interests) to convince our
own people that they are worthy OF
their full confidence as observers OF
law and conservators of the genuine
public interest"

The fight for the conventions Is
coming on apace and much manoever-
ing is in progress, more in fact than
appears to the naked eye. On this
subject Chairman New is quoted as
follows: Some people are disposed
to attach great political Importance
TO the selection of the convention
city. but as a matter of fact there is
practically no significance to 1t. The
action of the convention in the nom
ination of the ticket and the drattlng
of the platform is not influenced by
local conditions or considerations. 1t
is mistake for any one to assert
or think, even, that this or that can
didate would profit by the selection
of any particular city" The record
does not bear out Mr.. News asser-
tions. as local sentiment has intluen-
ced these national actions. 1t is
claimed by politicians of weight that
the democratic split in 1860 would
not have occurred had the convention
been held in city less aggressive
in it's championship of slavery.
Everyone knows that Charleston was
too much for Mr.. Douglas, and that
at Chicago the same year the Seward
men complained that local sentiment,
operating on the convention, secured
the nomination of Mr.. Lincoln. Be
cause the east is still unfriendly to
Mr.. Bryan's policies, the Bryan men
today are opposing the suggestion OF
an eastern city for next year. And
so the merry war goes on.
