Working Overtime.

That Taft press bureau is work
ing overtime. The very moment
that it became evident that form
er Representative Bell, of Cali.
fornia, would be chosen by the
National committee to be TEN
porary chairman of the convention,
and possibly might offer a few re.
marks about the Japanese on the
Pacific coast, it got busy cabling
news from Japan. The door in
Korea was suddenly flung wide
open, and the budget was put on
the dry docks for repairs. Then,
taking an opposite chute, the story
was concocted that some warships
ordered by Brazil of English ship
yards were really intended for
Japan. Hence, bigger Ameri-
can navy. The bureau must get
some rest these days, for the cam
paign has just started.

Vorys May Look After the
Pensions.

The Sandusky Register has a
faculty of making things mighty
interesting and also very un-
comfortable for gentlemen of
prominence in the republican
party of this state. Among others
to incur the displeasure of the
Register is none other than the
Arthur l. Vorys. The Register
says: IA curious story comes
from Washington to the effect
that Mr.. Taft has promised to give
Mr.. Vorys, of Lancaster, o., a
place in his cabinet, if he Is elect
ed President of the United States,
to pacify Mr.. Vorys for losing the
chairmanship of the Republican
nation committee. We can we'll
imagine what the people of Ohio
will say if Worry is placed in the
cabinet Of President of the
United States, and we suggest that
if he is to have such an honor
that he be made Secretary of the
Interior, under whom the pension
bureau is managed 30 that while
he is serving in that very honor
able Office he may eliminate from
the records a strange story of
lawyer from Lancaster who was
disbarred from practicing before
tho Interior Department of the
United States because he had kept
back from poor woman part of
the pension that had been allowed
her by the government for the
services of her son in the army of
the United States in the war for
the salvation of the Union. What
an interesting fact it would be for
Democratic orators and news
papers to picture the Secretary of
the Interior running through the
records of the pension bureau and
the Interior Department to cleanse
them of any reference to the Ian.
caster attorney.

Just Leave it to Teddy.

The sorry spectacle Of bitter
fight over n DIVISION of the spoils
of merely factional victory in
the recent Republican national
convention is now on the political
boards. A. Vorys, the War
wick OF the eatly Taft canvass,
but later siIe tracked in the in.
terests of the rednubtable Hitch
cock, has been turned down for
the chairman hip Of the national
committee. The situation is an
embarrassing one for Mr.. Vorys,
as it is well known that the entire
Taft machine in Ohio was built up
on promises of future favors made
by the statesman from Fairfield
county. The moment it was inti-
mated that Norys was to be re-
legated to some menial place in
the greater cempaign to come, a
howl went up from the favored
ones of the preliminary campaign
and their demand to know whether
the Vorys promises are to be full
filed, in event of Republican
victory, has become insistent and
is now causing the Tafts no end
of worry. 1t is understood, how
ever, that President Roosevelt has
made known his will in the matter
and that the selection he makes
will be ratified by the national
committee as we'll as by the Tafts.

Too Much my Policy y

There was gnashing Of teeth
and murmuring of profanity,
tropical in its intensity, among the
pro.Taft leaders herea bouts during
the past few days, following the
speech delivered by Senator Forak-
er before the Cincinnati Cham ber
Of Commerce last Wednesday even
ing. In this speech the Senator
praised the personal character and
fitness of Mr.. Taft, the president tial
nominee, but qualifying his re-
marks said:
"But, unfortunately there is one
fatal weakness in the candidate, in
that he favors continuance of the
so-called Roosevelt policies, of
which we have already had far too
much"
This sharp thrust is said to be an
index as to what the Senators atti
tude will be during the coming
campaign. Taft organization men
here have sworn Vengeance on the
Senator and declare that he will
not be invited to take the stump
for the ticket; all of which ls
probably entirely oongenial to the
Senator.

History Repeats Itself.

The Republican Platform Of 1896
read as follows;
"In the broad effect of its policy
it has precipitated panic, blighted
industry and trade with prolonged
depression, closed factories, re-
duced work and wages, halted en-
terprise and crippled American
production. Every consideration
of public safety and individual
interest demands that the govern
ment shall be rescued from the
hands Of those who have shown
themselves incapable of conduct
ing is without disaster"
How history does repeat itself.
That platform now describes the
condition of the country under
their own administration, and af-
ter twelve years of their unre-
stricted policies Surely in that
length of time they should have
conditions. But, here
We are worse of than ever.

Foraker Talks.

Republican Misrule.

Under the operations of the
Dingley tariff act the revenues of
the government are rapidly de-
creasing while a treasury deficit,
due to the extravaganza of Re-
publican congress, has reached
proportions that are little short of
appalling. The Dingley law is
obsolete. 1t simpl y cumbers the
statute books; that Is all. 1t no
more applies to present industrial
conditions than would the old corn
laws of Great Britain apply to the
needs of the British Empire as it
is at this day. The Republican
admission that the tariff needs re-
vision never would have been made
had not the vital defects of the
existing law become so notorious.
1t is the same old story of every
thing going out and nothing COM
ing in. Only few days ago the
newspapers of the country carried
a summary of the Forthcoming
statement of the treasury for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908.
Here it is:
"The total receipts this year
will be shown to have been about
$500 600, 600, or $64 900, 900 less
than for the fiscal year 1907. The
customs receipts will be shown to
have fallen off about $40, 900, 900
from those of 1907, while the re-
ceipts from internal revenue
sources will be short nearly $l9-
000,0 600. Miscellaneous receipts
will show slight gain.
"The disbursements for the
year will be shown to have aggre
gated abont S659, OCO, 900, or $780,
600, 600 more than for 1907 and
$5i, 900, 600 more than for any
other year since 1865, not except
ing the Spanish war period.
Comment on this state of affairs
would be snperhuous. The mere
official statement shows where the
country is drifting under Republi-
can misrule.

Obituary.

-
William A. Tht mpson, second
son of Enamel and Della Thomp-
son, died at the home of his
parents, on the ridge, east of
Laurelville, at O'Clock Saturday
evening. Aged IA years, 10
months and 10 days.
The boy has been an invalid
since birth, having a defective
heart, from which he suffered very
frequently. The doctors wonder
ed that he lived to such an age
with this character of heart. AL
though so young. he was a very
bright child, did what he could to
keep his parents and was fully
obedient to all their wishes and
requests. He was lovable and
sociable to all. and his death has
a gloom over the other members
of the family. He was industrious
and saving, and being encouraged
by his parents, he raised chickens,
picked blackberries, and did all
he corld to make and save a dime.
At the death he had credit in
the Laurelville bank of more than
one hundred dollars, representing
his earnings. Doesn't that speak
well for the child.
The funeral occurred Mo6dxy
afternoon, services being held at
Radical church on the ridge,
where interment was also made.
Rev. Landsittel officiated and COM
forted the family by his loving
Christian talk.
Deceased leaves to mourn their
loss a father, mother, four
brothers and three sisters, two
aged grandparents and many
other relatives and friends.

Murat Halstead.

What a tide of recollections viii
set in among the veteran journal
lists, and even among that more
numerous group whose experience
starts from the outer edge of the
active career of the older worth

stead becomes known. He was al.
most 80, and yet from the days he

in his profession and party, and
displayed an energy and agita.

crat.
1t was his double -leaded edi-
toriaI that precipitated the Cln-
cinnati riot, causing the burning
of the court house records and
great loss otherwise, and yet it's
provocation and utterance were
exactly true. The trial of a
murderer had ended In farcical
verdict. 1t was he who criticised
Lincoln, Grant and Chase during
the war, sparing no charge of
gossip or fact. During Franco
Prussian war he became known as
the hero of Gravelotte, because o
was the most obtrusive suggestor
of stratgems and camgaign plans,
and had always the marvellous
exclusive knowledge of how it
should have been done. After
the Payne Pendleton senatorial
contest in Ohio, he attacked
viciously the Republican senator's
who stood by Mr.. Payne, and ac-
cused several of voting because of
similar clouds upon their own
titles. Soon the Senate revenged
its dignity upon his nomination as
minister to Berlin by Harrison by
rejecting it.
Mr.. Halstead was a profuse
writer, 81 fluent that the deluge
could not be stopped. He was the
veritable travelling correspondent,
going to Cuba and the Philippines
and acting preferably as reporter
to being editor, as he 30 long had
been. This remarkable prolificness
of writing wrought his discredit
finally in professional circles, for
he essayed preparing subscription
books on the spur of wars or con.
ventions appearing like mushroom
over night. But personally, he
was the perfect type Of geniality,
with the rebellious tendency of the
honest-minded man, and though
he was a party thorn, he was in
his whole life remedial agent.

Pride Cometh Before the
Fall.

When it is considered that the
Republican platform was inspired
if not actually written, at the
White House, the fulsome praise
of President Roosevelt in that
document is perhaps not to be
wondered at. "Pride cometh be
fore the fall" and che that exalt
eth himself shall be abased.' MOI
does the Republican party itself
appear bashful in telling of the
deeds it says it has accomplished,
but that was to be expected, for
claiming everything in eight, is
an old game of the Republican
managers that has lost nothing
since such modern players as the
President have handled the layout.
The platform claims that the
Republican party "developed the
industries and resources of the
country" but the fact is that long
before the birth of the Republi can
party there was much more devel.
opment, considering the popula-
tiOn than has ever occurred since.
No party can develop the indus
tries and resources of the country.
The sweat on the brow of labor is
all that can accomplish that and
the pioneers, who in spite of the
greatest obstacles, developed the
West and indeed every State in
the Union, received but little il
any aid even from the government
they created. They helped them
selves and appropriated the riches
that nature had provided and
looked to no party for aid.
The policies of the Republican
party have developed and fostered
trusts and com mbinations and Sin
dustrIes" and such policies are
still protecting those predatory in
dnstrial corporations in plrnder-
ing the people. 1t must be doubt
ed If any sensible voters will re-
gard the tariff that protects the
trusts, which has vastly increased
the cost of living as a help to
them. The tariff helped to "de.
velop" a panic more disaster0us
than any that preceded it and the
effects of which are still so disas-
terous that wages are falling and
