A BAD MESS IF 1T

Speaker Eagleson of the house
stirred up more OF a fight than he
anticipated when he named Repre-
sentative Welker of Canton on the
Cincinnati Lexow committee. lie
not only made things very unpleas-
ant for all of the other members OF
the committee but he made it un-
pleasant for himself and called
down the wrath of an enraIged con-
stituency upon the head OF the
stark county legislator.
The Canton Morning News, last
Monday morning arraigned Mr.
Welker In no uncertain terms, charg
ing him with almost every offen,e
which could be laid at the door OF
a legislator. He is charged with
having been allied with Cox, of hav-
ing endeavored TO cover up all
crookedness by avoiding and pre-
venting Investigations, of having ex-
torted money from school teachers

offending? 1t is that l have talked
to you frankly and fearlessly on
things in which we are both in
terested. 1t is that | have defended
democracy as | have understood
democracy"
Never was there expressed a
prettier sentiment.
Taking Henry Clay's words and
applying them to Bryan it Is found
that they do not fit at all 1t has
been clearly demonstrated that Bry-
an is right, but it does not stop
there. He is going to be right and
be president, too. The Democrats
will name him as their candidate at
the Denver. convention and with his
constantly growing popularity, be-
fore the ides of November he will
have a massed such a following that
none dare stand before him.

his campaign. They tried entreaty,
and when that failed they tried
threats of defeat for reelection. Mr.
Smith treated them with courtesy,
and informed them that he could
not vote for the measure. OF course,
Mr.. Smith knew how the vote would
stand in the house, long before the
opportunity to get upon the band
wagon and go with the procession.
Or he could have lodged the issue
by being absent on the DAY the vote
was to be taken. But ne diG neither.
He staid at his post and voted with
the men who had stood by him, DEM
onstrating that he is not the kind of
a man who will dodge an issue, climb
on a band wagon to curry popular
favor, or forget those who have stood
by him.
squarely before those who criticize
Mr.. Smith for his vote, let us turn
the proposition around. Let us sup
pose Mr.. Smith had been the candi-
date of the temperance people. Let
us suppose they worked zealously for
his election because they understood
that all other candidate were hostile
to temperance. Then when Mr.. Smith
went to Columbus, suppose the liquor
men had besought him to vote with
them and had threatened him with
defeat, and he had yielded to their
pleadings and threats and had turned
his back upon those who had worked
for his election. What then would
be the opinion of the temperance
workers?
Mr.. Smiths vote demonstrated one
thing very conclusively, that he can
not be coaxed, threatened or scared
into playing the part of Benedict Ar
mold, and every man who has
the true American blood in his
veins cannot but respect him the
more for his vote than had he been
influenced to desert those who had
stood by him.

while operating a teachers agency
'and varieais other irregularities. The
News concludes with the statement
that Stark county has been suf-
hciently disgraced by Welker and
calls for an investigation Of the
legislator and those who have
shielded him.

mended for having had sufficien.

Eagleston's efforts to whitewash

cinnati aud 1t is to be hoped there
are enough Republicans in the house
to join with the Democrats in over
throwing this piece of political
treachery. The old Drake committee
went far enough into the affairs
OF the Queen City to know that there
is pay dirt there. If 1t can only be
reached. This year the people of
Cincinnati were promised a com
mittee which would be. legally Co
rect. but Speaker Eagleson sought 10
prevent too much being found olt
by naming Cox man and an anti
Investigation man on the committee.

have been running things in Ohio
for years and years.

TRUE TO CONVICTION

Perhaps no man who has ever
been in public life has had to under
go more ridcule and who was sub
jected to more criticism than Will
lam Jennings Bryan. He has had all
epithets, which could be admitted to
the mails printed about him; he has
been called a Populist, a Socialist.
an Anarchist, a dreamer, dictator
and has repeatedly been called un-
rue to his own conscience and false
20 the people. He has been cartooned
in every paper from ocean to ocean,
has been painted in the vilest of
words the tongue of hi1critics could
speak and has been scoffed at from
the time he first entered national
life. And for what? Simply because
he believed in the great principles
which he advocated and had courage
tlOubn W obdHu Wy hio NOhNANtioho'
The time of ridicule and criticism
has passed however, and instead OF
he curses which were heaped upon
him we hear words of praise and
instead of ridicule we hear express
3ions of admiration and confidence.
What has brought about this
change? IL has been vindication
Of the principles for which ne has
contended, coupled with the indom-
table courage of the man and his
whole devotion to those things
which he believes to be right.
Mr.. Bryan has not desired the
presidency for the great honor
which 1t brings. lie does not need
1t. He is now far more famous
than the great majority of the men
who have sat In the presidents
chair. He has wanted the presidency
for the good he can do for the
whole people. He Is now willing to
accept the presidency If the people
want him but he does not propose
TO make fight for the nomination,
Mr. Bryan has said many most
excellent things. Henry Clay became
famous when he gave utterance to
these words, Il would rather be
right than be president Mr.. Bryan
goes several steps farther than Clay
when ne gives expression to his
feeling in the following language:

NOT A BENEDICT ARNOLD

The Rose county local option bill
has passed both branches OF the leg
islature and now only awaits the Sig
nature of the governor to make 1t a
law The long fight is ended so FAR
as legislation upon that question Is
! concerned and soon the temperance
/ forces will be massing to carry on
the fight to drive the saloons and
the liquor business from many of the
counties of the state. 1t Is doubtful
whether the effort will be made In
all of the counties of Ohio, but this
much Is sure, the fight will be made
in Marion county just as soon as is
possible after the law becomes et-
fective, next September.
AS is generally known. Marion
county's representative voted against
the Rose bill, and many have been
the criticisms which have been heaped
upon his head for that action. Let
us reason on the matter for a mo-
ment and endeavor to look at the
question without bias. Mr.. Smith
was nominated by n convention In
which the subject of county local op-
.-tion was not considered in any phase.
He was not the nominee of any ele-
8ment. Sometime after the conven-
Mtion, when the question or county loc-
sssal option began to be agtated quite
Efreely, and after Rev. c w. Hensel
had entered the race, In the hope OF
Ssecuring a denial which could be used
!. for political purposes to the advant-
sage of the regular Republican NOM
ginee, the accusation was made that
NssMr. Smith was the candidate of the
Sjiquor element. Mr. Smith saw the
trap which had been laid for him and
avoided it.. When, after repeated re-
!. Herations of the charge that he was
sthe liquor candidate, it was found
rthat denial could not be forced, In
desperation the flop was made by the
SRepublican leader, in the hope OF pull
sing his man through at the election.
s.Nir. Smith played good politics by
!. keeping still, neither affirming nor
Ssdenying It, AS soon as the regular
.U am, hlicau nominal had ohanoad hia
. position. there was nothing left for
>the so-called liberals to do but to
support Mr.. Smith, and this they did,
s,.with the result that he was elected.
No sooner was the election over
Nhan the temperance people began to
7urge upon the successful candidate
