PROF. EXPERIENCE
AND HIS SCHOOL

A number of Marionites, and the
number Is goodly one too at that,
have just completed a course in the
school conducted by old Professor
Experience. That they have learned
Ia lesson that was expensive, but the
memory of which will linger long,
goes without saying.
The collapse of the Cargill, get-rich-
lquick concern, which for months has
done a thriving business in Marion,
caught quite an amount of Marion
money in the crash. Some of the
investors were able to lose the sums
invested, while others were not. Many
went into the concern, knowing that
lit was gamble, that sooner or later
the company would collapse and leave
someone holding the sack, while 9TH
|ers, and unfortunately they are the
ones to whom the loss means most,
believed It was safe and paying in
lvestment. For the man, who with
Ieyes wide open, made his investment
land took his chances there should be
little sympathy, but to the man who
was talked into believing that the
thing was an investment and a safe
Ione at that, the sympathy of all
should be extended. However. he is
the man who has gained information
and experience which in after years
may be worth all it has cost him.
The whole thing is only further ev-
idence of the truthfulness of the old
proverb, 1T is safest to do business
on strictly business principles. Lay
ing aside a little money and investing
Iit in good business, or in real estate
while II may not furnish returns as
rapidly as the Cargill and like COM
panies have done, Is after all the
safest and surest.

QUALIFICATION
OF PRIME IMPORTANCE

In selecting the men for whom he
shall vote for a municipal office, every
voter should first take into consider
alton the qualifications OF the man
In no instance is this so true as in
selecting members OF the Board of
Education. Too often this place,
which is always the bottom of the
ticket when in reality it should be at
the head, is overlooked entirely, or II
1t is noted at all, Is allowed to go
by default. Marion Is a progressive
city in all lines of commerce, in build
ing and in street and municipal i'm
provements in general. Our schools
should not be allowed to lag behind
the wave OF progress. and the only
way to keep them abreast of the
times Is to place competent men on
the Board of Education. Fred e.
CUTLERY and J. w. Jacoby are men
who are fully capable of looking after
the interests of the schools and have
sufficient personal interest in the
schools to warrant the assurance of
their best efforts.

COX AGAIN IN CONTROL.

Before all the returns were in
the night of the Ohio election in
1900, the telegraph wires had to be
interrupted an their tran .mission
of important news to carry the
signed statement of George b.
Cox, announcing his retirement
from politics. 1t was Cox who was
so mercilessly cxcoriated by Secrc-
iarv Taft in a speech at Akron
just before the close of that cam
|paien, and Cox's retirement
was accepted as enc result of the
Taft speech
or conuc the public had no con-
tidcn.e in Cox's professed "rctirc-
ment.' He went into ",reticment' y
once before and came ont % bigger
and more powerful boss than
lever.
This year Cox is in control of
Republican politics ut Cincinnati,
openly, actively and actually in
full control once more.
Two Judges of the superior court
in Cincinnati know this to their
somow, for Cox decreei that they
SHOULD. not be denominated because
|of an appointment thev made
without first consulting nm. They
arc Judge Ferris and Judge. Hoscn
Cox was asked if it was tme
that he had ordered the slaughter
lof these two judges and said: "You
might say that I declined to help
leither Judge Fc,nis or Judge Hosea
to secure a denomination. Both of
them called unnn me and solicited
my aid, hut declined TO give il
TO them."
Why should two Judges solicit
the aid of boss who had Gre
tired from politics" and how could
n retired boss decline to give them
aid if he no longer possessed or
exercised the power of a boss?
At the convention which fol-
lowed Cox made good his dictation.
Ferris and Hosea were turned
down and two others were nomi-
na'nd in their steod.

1.-THE matter are that the whole thing
lies in the different interpretations
placed upon the laws. The county
Iofficials have been guided by the in
depreciation of the laws as made by
local legal advisers and have gov
Ierncd themselves accordingly. Along
comes a special examiner with an
|other version which he insists Is
correct. He makes an examination OF
the offices, applying his interpreta-
tion of the laws and finds that ex-
cessive fees have been drawn. These
are the real facts in the case, and In
some Instances 1t has been shown
that tie examiners version was
wrong.
We do not undertake to say that
the examiners are right or wrong
In their holdings, but the people
should not jump at the conclusion
that because an examiner says II Is
