Governor Harris Does Not
Enforce the Law.

When Judson Harmon said in
his Charlevoix letter that if elect
ed governor he would enforce all
the laws Of the state that meant
avs enacted at the last session of
the legislature as at former
sessions.
That is more than Governor
Harris has done, or will do if
elected governor.
When, Judson Harmon said in
the same letter that "if any ques-
tion of further Legislature should
come before me l shall carry out
the will of the people if / can
ascertain it," he meant that the
people shall prevail.
BY "further Legislation to be
enacted hereafter; further means
for ward, not backward, and no
amount of jugglery can change it's
meaning. Why, then, seek to be-
fog the issue2 Governor Harris
has not enforced the laws gains t

Off SO. Governor Nash stopped
the first prize attempted to he
held in Ohio, and Judge Harmo n
helped him do it.
Governor Harris has not enforced
the laws on Sunday closing. The
law gives him authority to remove
the mayor who does not enforce
law. Governor Harris has re-
moved no mayors. He has power
to enforce the Sunday law even to
calling out the militia; but he has
never even issued an order for law
enforcement along that line. All
this is cited to. show the hollow
pretense of the temperance
campaign of Governor Harris.
Prospects for Democratic
victory in Ohio were never bright
er. The only phase of the situa-
tion which confronts the Demo-
cratic voters of Ohio now is
whether they will fritter away the
opportunity by walking into
pitfall placed in their way in the
form of local and non partisan
question.

Quail Hunters.

General John G. Speaks, chief
game warden, said, Tuesday morn
ing, that the coming quail season
would be the best thas the state
lof Ohio has had in many years.
Reports of an, abundance of these
birds from all over the state, have
been made, showing that this year
will be not without results.
"The past winter was an espec
tally good one for quail, "said gen-
eral Speaks. "Then too the state
has been without the foods that
usually wash away many of nests
and young. Without the market
shooters, who in years past have
devastated the coveys, the year is
bound to be a good one for the
sportsman"
Hundreds of people in all sec
tions of the state have signified
their intention to the game warden
to report any of the violations of
the sport. These people have
volunteered their services gratis,
and have gladly been accepted by
the chief game warden. This will
mean that there will be few il any
"early shooters" Of poachers.
In years past the state officials
have had To contend with the
market shooter, who under the
subterfuge that his birds came
from out of the state, sold them on
markets. The last legislature put
stop to the marketing of quail,
no matter from what source they
are obtained. General Speeks ia
issuing orders to his deputies and
intends that all violatOrs of the
game laws shall meet with the
punishment demanded by the
sportsman.
The quail season this year opens
15 and closes at mid |
night of December 4.

Taft's Friends Worst Foes?

Chicago, Ill.,, September 10 -
Dissa t.sfaction with the manage.
ment of the Taft campaign is be-
ing quietly expressed in Republi-
can circles, although no one will
publicly voice this sentiment.
One incident of the past week
made vivid impression on the
Chicago mind. Taft had accept
ed an invitation to be the guest of
the Chicago Association of Com
merce on October 7, with w. j..
Bryan. Suddenly the Republican
managers cancelled Mr.. Taft's en-
gagement.
The cry went up that the Re-
publican leaders were afraid to
have Taft meet Bryan publicly.
Under the pressure of Chicago in
dignation the Republican made an
other shift, and announced that
Taft would attend the banquet.
Popular feeling is voiced in IA
remarkable editorial appearing In
the News this evening. The News
is the leading and most influential
evening newspaper in Chicago, and
although independent it is a strong
supporter Of the Roosevelt poll

Hot Shot From Hearst.

Just why Mr.. Hearst at the very
climax of this peacemakiDg be
tween Taft and Foraker shoulG
make such savage attack on Mr.
Foraker concerning hia taking
500, 900 90 from the Standard Oh
Co., is conjectural, but is not diff
ficult of deduction. Mr.. Hearel
has been giving the management
of Mr.. Taft's campaign great
deal of comfort by his bitter at
tacks on Mr.. Bryan, against whom
Mr.. Hearst holds personal grudge
| Wherever Mr. Hearst has appeared,
there has been no lack Of Republi-
cans in the audience to applaud
his attacks on Mr.. Bryan.
That Mr.. Hearst did not come
to Columbus prepared to make his
now celebrated attack on MIR. For
aker is evident from the fact tina
the material for his exortation of
the senator was received by wire
from Chicago so late that it caused
him to be delayed in arriving at
the hall where he was to speak.
Reasoning by deduction again,
it is safe to assume that the copies
of the Archbold letters were not
furnished to Mr.. Hearst by friend
of Senator Foraker. Chicago is
the seat of one of the two national
headquarters of the Taft cam
paign. IL the information had
come through the ordinary chan
nels of Mr.. Hearst's Chicago pa
pers it could have been delivered
to him over his press wire. But
it was private dispatch of sever
al Thousand words, and the irony
of coincidence is that it was being
licked over the wire about the
time the arrangements for Senator
Foraker to preside at Mr.. Taft's
meeting in Cincinnati were being
completed.
1t is certain that the correspond
ence was not given Mr.. Hearst to
help the candidacy of Senator
Foraker for reelection.
Hence, the conclusion that the
purpose was to have Mr.. Hearst
inject into his Columbus speech II
TRADE against Foraker to still
further injure the Senator's politi
cal standing In Ohio.
Between these two complica-
tions, friends of Taft are in cloud
of doubt and uncertainty whether
they should vote for him because
of his spectacular reconciliation
with Senator Foraker; and friends
of Mr.. Foraker cannot have any
assurance that a peace pact will
be binding since somebody friend
ly to Taft and hostile to Foraker
furnished Mr.. Hearst u weapon to
stab Foraker in the back while
ostensibIy aiding the Taft cam
paign by vilifying Mr.. Bryan.

frame. 1t thinks so because Of q
famous speech which he made in
an Ohio political campaign de-
nouncing a notorious Republican
boss of Cincinnati.
"The time has come for Mr..
Taft to demonstrate that he has
fighting blood. He must cast aside
the smooth phrases recommended
to him by his political managers
He must cease to court the favor
of Republican bosses. He must go
out among the people and show
that there are no strings to him
"The tanning process has gone
on too long. The people Of the
United States do not want to elect
grand lama to the White House.
They want for President a moral
statesman with sweat on his brow
and strong words in his mouth,
cit is the opin ION of the Daily
News that the campaign of Will
liam Howard Taft Is being mis-
managed abominably. The fl rt
to make tame cat Of a great man
is enough to make the blood of ey.
cry honest American boil
"The petty Hitchcocks and Du
Points and the rest of them are
working in a way to destroy the
Republican candidate, whether
they know it or not. Their pink
tea campaign is making the nation
queasy. Their tactics are the tao
ties of small men of cheap cum
ming, with neither insight nor i'm
agination.
"The ridicult us managers of
raft's campaign are trying to de-
prive him of his priceless posses
sions-the political enemies he has
made. They have succeeded in
attaching Foraker to him in more
or less spectacular manner. For
aker-what calamity in his
friendship in view of his crawling
snbserviency to the Standard Oil
Company for money in hand paid
"They have brought George Cox
into line. Cox-the denunciations
hurled at him by Taft ma le for
the Republican candidate many
Of enthusiastic friends
and supporters.
"They put up Hopkins, of Hi
nois, to boggle the Republican
platform. They sent out Cannon
to speak for Taft. So the work
Of wrecking this great mans cam
palgn gees on.
"Taft has got to brush aside
these amazing bunglers. He has
got to step out before the the peo-
pie and be himself to the full ex-
tent of his commanding personali
ty. No Samson with shorn locks
is going to be acceptable to the
people of the United States as

i allowed to stand, no fire that starts

The national forests are constantly
patrolled by a picked force Of rangers
and guards. The present summer force
OF such rangers and guards, whose duty
Is fire patrol, Is 1851 men; tine average
area that each is required to protect
is 12I, 500 acres. It is fully understood
that this area is altogether too large,
and just as soon as funds are avail
able to permit of the employment of
larger force of men the area will be
reduced.
In order to provide rapid means of
travel between the various parts of
the national forests and to facilitate
the massing of large forces of men to
fight fire, as well as to furnish vantage
points from which the fires may be
fought successfully. 100 miles Of road
and 5000 miles of trail were built dur
ing the last fiscal year In several
ca ses fire breaks from Is to 100 feet
ia width have been constructed, from
which all timber and inflamable ma
tcrial is removed, to furnish obstacles
to the spread fires, or straight lines of
defense in fighting the fires once start

now exist on the national forests in

headquarters Of the forest, in order
that fires may be reported and prompt

ending June 30, 1908, $500 miles of
telephone line were constructed in the
rational forests.
Just as rapidly as possible, each ma
tional forest is supplied with shoyels,
axes. and other tools, which are dis
tributed over the forests and cabins,
and tool boxes are placed at points
where there is the greatest danger of
fire and where they can be easily reach

Upon the basis of the forest service
experience on the national forests on
which the total administration per
acre. including fire patrol. amounts to
only one cent, the whole forest area of
the United States could be protected
from fire at a total cost of less than
S5,0o0.o00. This would save an annual
loss of $2o.o00,ooo for timber alone,
to say nothing of the enormous loss of
life, the loss to new tree growth, the
loss Of soil fertility, the damage to
river courses and adjacent form coun-
try, and the depreciation in forest
wealth and land values.

OVERRIDING THE sUPERLATIvE.
Our National Habit of Exaggeration--
A Plea For The Comparative Degree

Professor Thomas r. Lounsbury Of
Yale, who has as one Of his chief de.
lights in life the shocking of the gram
ntarians. writes in a recent issue Of
Harper's Magazine in defense of the
use Of the superlative degree in conf

classes school girls of the caramel ayr

bitian Is 10 fire the heart OF the people.
Neither Of these have any comprehen-
sion OF any other degree of speech but
the superlative degree The positive Is
too tame, the comparative is an I'M
known country; the superlative, and
lie superlatiye only, fits their excited
and exalted moods Professor Louns-
bury alleges that the habit of using the
superlatiye when two objects are com
pared is one which the best writers
are unanimous in following, and though
he cites only few instances, we are
willing to admit he Is correct. He al
lows that such writer's employ both de-
grces in such cases; but he asserts that
where with them the comparative is
found once, the superlative is found Mt
least twice. OF course, the fact il one

Whether Professor Lounsbury is or is

matter as respects the best writers. we
are quite certain that people VINO rank

itself to the habit of ggeration.
