is even whispered that he may come
into his own in advance of numerous
Ohio faithfuls and may not have
to wait for the new president to re-
view the inaugural parade on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. That is probably I'M
true. No one in Washington is ready
to believe that Attorney General
Bonaparte will relinquish an office of
which he is very much enamored
But Ellis may be, some say will be,
Bonaparte's successor.
In 1902, when he was near the end
of six years service as assistant cor
poration counsel of the Queen city.
some one was wanted to draft the
municipal code which the Buckeye
legislature was to enact. Ellis, with
his reputation for balancing words
splendidly, was chosen. He did the
work admirably. There were many
personal liberty advocates in Cincin-
natl whom the Republicans did not
want to offend, but the convictions of
other populous classes of the commu-
nifty had to be considered. Ellis, hold
ing the Office that President Hayes
had once held in Cincinnati, dressed
the code up in the most attractive
verbiage. He was widely applauded
by the Republicans.
: The present attorney general of
Ohio is slow, but he has been con-
stantly developing and has mastered
whatever situation he found himself
in. The cub reporters in Cincin-
natl laughed when he began to talk
about studying law. Hub, Lawyer
Ellis they exclaimed, lightly, you'll
make a great lawyeri' But he went
ahead, and in 1889, when % years old,
obtained his diploma from the legal
department of Washington and Lee
university. The following year he
went up to Columbus and took the
examinations that admitted him To
practice before the Ohio bar.
He left Cincinnati for time, but
returned and interested himself in
politics. At first he was very indie
pendent He did not like George Cox,
the Cincinnati boss, who. according
to the orthodox Republican idea in
that town, can do no wrong. The
while he dabbled in politics, however,
Clients were not coming to him in
such numbers, bearing fat retainers,
that he was unwilling to accept the
editorship of the Cincinnati Tribune
He filed the editorial chair for two
years--till 1S97-when he was elect
ed corporation counsel Then he be
gan to embark on promising career.
He was SO successful in drafting the

Its Wisdom Shown

THE growth of organized labor in the
United States is shown by the
great increase in the membership of
the American Federation of Labor, the
most powerful body of wage-workers
in the country, if not in the world.
Organized labor is stronger in Ameri-
ca than ever before. The cry for the
open shop and the heated denuncia.
tions of the opponents of the boycott,
the closed shop and the sympathetic
strike is met on every hand by ex-
amples of the wisdom of collective bar
gaining on the part of workingmen
when dealing with their employers and
the continuance of union shops by
cooler headed employers

Too Much Afraid of Dirt.

1t is quite true that cleanliness is
next to goodness" but in this day of
fads and scientific frills the question
is whether we are not getting alto
gether too afraid of little dirt. Dirt
has been defined as matter in the
wrong place, and hygiene is the
science of keeping it in the right
place. But we are inclined to think
that we are all little bit too much
up in the air on the matter of cleanli-
ness; a little too afraid of coming in
contact with the clean-smelling, kind
ly earth, and are in danger of becom-
ing nasty -nice.-W ashington Herald.

Appreciates Teachers, Work.

One woman says that when her
children bring home their school re-
ports at the end of the month she al
ways finds five minutes in which to
write a personal letter to the teach
ers. If there is something that the
children have learned that surprised
her she writes a note of thanks and
appreciation, and if the reports are
unsatisfactory she writes offering to
help the teacher in any way she may
suggest Needless to say, the teach
ers are appreciative, as any one will
know who has ever taught school.

The Greatest Need

4 CANNOT name the greatest achieve
i ment of the unions since the first
Labor day, but two that I consider
the greatest are the measures against
child labor and the accomplishment of
the eight-hour day.
Unions should in the future strive
most for general adoption of the eight
hour day, for it means the advance of
other workingmen's suestions--Fran-

Aim of the Future

VETHAT has been accomplished? The
w history of the labor movement
during the last quarter of a century
parallels in action and results the no.
blest of all permanent organizations.
that grandest of human achievements.
our republic, the United States of
America. 1t has, by the unselfish,
honest, energetic effort of her leaders;
the stability and fundamental right
eousness of her cause, destroyed the
barriers of ignorance and disdain, the
injustice of prejudiced critics, and has
made the great mass of the people be-
levers in the sincerity and stability OF
its principles.
What has the future in store? If the
history of the past acts as the guide
for the future-and 1 know of no bet
ter guide than the lamp of experience
the results to be accomplished can
not but accord and merit a proper
position in the progress and prosper
ity of our country, and be the factor
for the preservation of the rights and
ideals of free and enlightened peo-
pie. When the future records the
achievements of the past; when the
impartial verdict of the great events
is rendered, the shape of its efforts
weighed in the balance will be no
mean proportion of the whole.
Determination of public issues in the
referendum of public opinion is the

ARTICLE WAS MISLEADING.
Stock Disposed by Bond Bros. Repre-
sented That Shown I'm Annex Only.

The article in the morning paper
relative to Bond Bros. OF this city hav-
ing closed out their stock of mems
clothing. was somewhat misleading
inasmuch as many of their friends
and patrons misconstrued the inform
alton as stating that they had closed
out their entire stock of clothing in
this city, while, in fact. the stock dis
posed of represented the display
shown i'm their new annex only. which
was located three doors south of their
regular store, in the room formerly
used by TatOm's Electric bakery.
AS to this firms having closed out
their entire stock of clothing-it was
far from being a fact, but instead they
disposed OF every old pattern and
model that remained on hand, thus
leaving only new creations in mems
wear to be found on their shelves, rep
resenting all that will be fashionable
and popular during the coming sea-
son.
The Inc they have on display is far
larger and more complete than ever
shown before and correct buying of
up-to-date clothing is made easier,
lnasmuch as the new lines are devoid
OF being mixed with old styles.

NEW CALIFORNIA WORM PEST.
Damages Grass and Roots and No
Remedy Has Thus Far Been Found.

Berkeley, Cal, Feb. 26.-The de-
partment of agriculture Of the state
university here received for the last
two months reports from various
parts of the state of the devastation
wrought by a certain worm that has
eaten grass and grain roofs. DAM
age has been reported from as far
north as Marysville to Maripossa on
the south, and from the San Joaquin
and Sacramento valleys TO a consid-
cradle distance into the foothills.
The worm seems totake the roots
of the growing grain and grass and
utterly destroys the crops. Experts
have been studying the problem and
they report the worst damag, already
done and things are on the mend. The
worm is the larvae Of the crane fly.
They are now practically grown and
will soon become flies and the damage
for this season will be over.
The crane fly is apparently pecu-
liar to this locality 1t never has
shown itself in such large numbers
as this year, and there is strong
prospect 1t will not recur next year,
as it has for the last three. There
seems to be no remedy for the pest,
and untold damage has been wrought
thereby.

the crop has been damaged more or
less all along the river, but this sea-

winter has been uniform, and the
fruit buds are being held back by the
cold nights.
The trees are in splendid condition,
and are loaded with fruit buds. More
trees are in bearing and more trees
fully matured than ever before known
and if present indications are not
marred by later frosts the greatest
fruit crop ever known will be gather
ed along the Snake river this sea-
