FREE EATING houses have been
established at Cincinnati and
other cities, and before the winter
is over these "full dinner pail'
emporiums will be running full
time and with full force at every
manufacturing center in the coun-
try. Columbus had eight hundred
women securing the city Saturday
soliciting aid for the unemployed,
Dayton has been holding mass
meetings for the same purpose and
other Ohio cities are taking steps
to prevent starvation and suffer
ing within their borders. Those
in position to know state unhesi-
tatlngly that the situation is much
more acute than in 1898, or in any
previous panic, and that more men
are out of employment than ever
before.
What does all of this mean ?
What has happened that there
should suddenly come upon us
such dearth of prosperity. Can
1t be that these Haunted policies
of the great bosses of the republic
can party, who are in full control,
are not the best for the people;
not the best for the business
interests of the country? We re-
member that the panic of 1898
was called the democratic
panic;" Whose panic is this !?
Whose governmental policies are
in power, and are they right or
are they wrong. Does a policy
of the trusts, by the trusts and
for the trusts, do the most good
for the most people.

Thursday, Jan. %, 1908.

THE REPUBLICANS have declared
that the tariff must not be revise
ed in good times, because it would
upset things. Now things are up
set we must continue to standpat
lest it may make the upset more
disastrous. Under this Republi-
can logic we must still continue to
pay tribute to the trusts; still con-
tinue to see trust products sold
cheaper abroad than here, still
trust high prices instead of
participating at the bargain
counter of trust products so gener-
ously spread for foreigners; still
continue to let we'll enough alone,
which being interpreted means to
continue the Republicans In power.
But then it will be alright after
election, though it may be along
after, unless the voters wake up.

ONE OF THE first to be consider
ed by property owner in figuring
a return on his investment is the
rate of taxation. This item is
figured into the rent, and high
taxes mean more outlay by tenants,
without any corresponding i'm
proYement or accommodations
And, unlike most of the taxes
which go to support State Govern
ment and all which supply the
National treasury, these charges
are always direct. Yet, with the
details and cost and efficiency of
municipal and school administra-
tion with which everybody whether
property owner or not is most di-
rectly, and speaking literally,
yitally concerned, almost no one
is familiar or interested. A
battleship will command more
public discussion or attention than
a schoolhouse or park, or better
fire protection, an improved street,
or any other public improvement
even from the people directly to be
bena flied.
There isn't topic in the fna n
cial reports to councils, for
instance, that doesn't have some
direct bearing on every man,
woman and child residing in this
town and intending to remain
here. Outlays that are determined
on this year to meet current de-
mands or to anticipate future
needs will mean taxes to whose
aggregate all have to contribute
their share and out of which, if
we'll and wisely chosen, all will
reap immediate and enduring
benefit. There are national
politicians always ready to dis
tract public attention from these
fields of domestic administration
to those which less affect them,
in order that the privilege d
interests which finance grafters
may be free to pilIage and rayage
unchecked. But, be not deceived.
Good government, like charity, |
begins At home.

COMMENT UPON great disasters
seems a useless effort. The public
devours the narrowing story, gives
listless heed to the numerous and
prompt suggestions of precautions
and preventive measures, and re-
lapses into the former ways, to
await the next shock. The terri
BILE loss of life in the Boyertown
theater has its causes plainly Wis
ible and what might have guarded
against the panic is as evident.
The prime and proximate cause of
the mortality was that loss of all
sensible action which fear pro-
duces. Building regulations, the
utmost watchfulness of lights and
stage machinery avail nothing
against an insensate crush of peo-
pie. 1t was an amateur dramatic
affair and parents were guarding
the safety of their children on the
stage. Their anxiety provoked
the fatal collision between the cur
rents of frightened spectators.
That kerosene was used is of little
significance. 1t was gas in the
doomed Iroquois theater in Chica-
go and closed exits. The splutter-
ing of the escaping gas was the
initial cause of the panic and bet
ter regulations might reach the
use of the picture-machine. But
no laws can stop panic, How
easily could all possible danger
from the fire itself been ended by
the efforts of few coolheaded
men, had the audience kept calm.

Obituary

Lucy A. Epley was born near
Harrisburg, Pa, July @, 1880,
and departed this life Jan.
"a, 1908, aged n years, 6 months
and 8 days.
In her childhood days her
parents emigrated to Harrison
County, Ohio, and later moved to
Perry County She was MARI led
to Henry Nupp Noy. %, 1849.
To them were given ten children,
six sons and four daughters.
Three sons and two daughters are
still living, five children and the
loving husband having preceded
her to the Spirit World. Thirteen
of the seventeen grandchildren are
still living.
In her early years Mrs. Nupp
consecrated herself to the Lord
and united with the Evangelical
Lutheran Church at New Rumley,
at Harrison Co. o., and remained
a faithful member of that church
until she moved from its Pastoral
bounds.
She then gave her name to the
Methodist Protestant church at
Prospect on the Logan circuit.
She was faithful to the church
faithful TO her family and true to
her friends. The weight of sor-
row and care rested heavily upon
our dear mother so that for the
past ten years of her life she was
greatly afflicted. She suffered
patiently and trustingly until she
calmly passed into that state of
blessed rest for which she had for
so many years been waiting and
longing.

SENATOR FORAKER has the reputa-

course, his colleague, Major Dick,
is world-renowned as warrior.
And SO they have transferred a
section of the Taft conflict into
Senate, where courtesy" prevails
just as much as an artificial Taft
majority does in an Ohio COM
mittee, ruled by Rooseveltian
patronage. Four Ohio postmaster
nominations were rejected by the
Senate and on motion of the Ohio
savages, wearing their trophies at
their belt, they had immediate
notice of the act conveyed to the
White House, though the rule has
been to defer such regrets to re-
port until the next day. 1t is
possible that the President made
these nominations without consult

other appointments for all States?

TRAFFIC IN
TEACHER
CERTIFICATES.
Senator Meek Startles the
Solons By His State
ment.

Columbus, Ohio, January 10
For more than an hour to-day the
Ohio Senate listened to q remark
able exposure of conditions within
the public school system, and
heard blistering arraignment of
State School Commissioner Ed
mund A. Jones and of the State
Board of School Examiners. Di-
rect accusations were made that
certificates emitting the holders to
teach in the state were being
trafficked in; that a gigantic
"ring' controlled educational af-
fairs in Ohio, and, finally, as
sensational climax, that a demand
had been made for the surrender
of female virtue in return for the
granting of the privilege of a
diploma from the State Board.
Horrified by the breadth an num-
ber of the allegations against the
integrity of men who had been
considered above the breath of
suspicion, the Senate at once took
steps toward an investigation, sus-
pending the rules so that a resolu-
tion to that affect might be offered.
The charges came from mem
ber of the State Board of Examin-
ers, Senator William III. Meek, of
Dayton, who, for 10 years, has
been one of that body, and is now
the President of the Central Ohio
Teachers Association. They were
uttered in his capacity as legis-
lature and the author of the pend
ing bill to prohibit mem bers of
the board accepting fees and
gratuities for appearing ut Coun-
ty Teachers Institutes, a practice
which, he asserted, was o fruitful
source of corruption. His address
was a carefully prepared one, and
due notice that it would be de-
livered this afternoon caused the
Senate Chamber to be crowded
with members of the House of
Representatives, state officials and
prominent educators, including a
number of the faculty of the Ohio
State University.
Stunned is the only word to
describe the condition of those to
whom the statement of conditions
came as new intelligence. In put
ting forth his resolution, Senator
Samuel H. West, of Bellefontaine,
could think of no better word to
describe them than "terrific."
In the plainest of terms Senator
Meek charged that School COM
Jones was owned body
and soul by "ring" of powerful
professional peddlers of patronage,
the dominating character in which
was former State School Commits
sioner o. Il. CorsoD, of this city

by the examiners and that extra
diplomas were always in the Office
of the Commissioners. Deliberate
| Justification of the records in ex-
aminations were made so that
persons who were not entitled to
the privilege of teaching by reason
of educational qualification were
licensed to do 30, he declared.
1t was charged that meetings
were held the night before the ex-
amlnations took place, at which
the examiners pointed out to each
other the candidates who were to
be favored with complimentary
averages. as these frauds were
called. Senator Meek confessed
that he had been guilty of this
form of wrongdoing himself, and
gave the names of the fellow-m
bers of the board who had solicited
him to "mark the papers high"
Figures were produced from the
records of the School Commission
er's office to show that persons
who are now on the State Board
of Examiners did not receive any
school institute assignments when
private citizens, nor were they
placed upon programs after they
had left the board.
School Commissioner Jones was
accused of having made the re-
mark: cit is fine thing to be
State Examiner, because one can
get plenty of this institute work"
1t was because of these requests
from the various counties that the
examiners descended to evil, it is
charged.
"They granted the certificates
because the giving of them to
certain Superintendent and men,
bers of Executive Committees
meant lucrative summer engage
ments." Meek said. "This is no
new condition. 1t has been exist
ing for ten years to my know
ledge. The public school system
of the state has been hampered
and held back because Of this
nefarious condition of affairs"
Governor Harris, when told of
some of the charges, cried out
why has not the truth been
told sooner."9
The climax of the series of
charges came in dramatic way.
After covering all of the accusa-
tions against himself and those
against the "ring." Senator
Meek solemnly declared that he
had something that would shock
his auditors. Drawing sealed |
envelope from his coat, he held it
aloft, while he cried that he was
to charge that an attempt had |
been made to traffic in teachers
certificates for immoral purposes.
"Read it!'' came from a dozen
excited Senators.
Waving it again, Senator Meek
replied that it would be delivered
first to the Investigating Com
mittee when appointed. Until
then the name of the afIiant is be
Kept secret. On his desk were
private letters filed with evidence
supporting, he said, the charges he
