FROM TINE to time some humOr-
ist or madman makes will be-
queathing pompous legacies and a
residuary estate of millions, and
is buried, perhaps in the potter's
field, at last. He has had his hap
piness, but the heir and legatees
have got nothing by his motion.
If the political testament of
Theodore Roosevelt is duly proved
and probated, how splendid will
the inheritance of the heir be? A
nomination, but saddled with
crushing debts. Poor Taft must
pay for the highly expensive
amusements of his patron. Pri-
vate confidence and credit shat
tered; decreased business; empty
freight cars and empty pay envel-
opes; railroad employees and in
dustrial workers laid off by the
hundred thousand; disaster made
thoroughly Republican; the Con-
stitution kicked to one side like n
broken teddy bear; the courts in
suited; capital prosecuted and
frightened; !; suspicion and hatred
sown sedulously among classes
whose prosperity or adversely is
inseparably mutual; half veiled,
sinister prophecies of riot; the
army demoralized by fayoritism
the navy embarked upon myster-
ious and dangerous adventure
currency reform unachieved; civil
service reform made byword
this is the inheritance of Mr.. Taft.

NJ 'GAHAN CLUB
BANQUET.

In celebration Of the first ami .
versary of the Columbus branch
of the MacGahan club, a banquet
was held at the Busy Bee restaur-
ant in that, city Saturday night.
President j. Donald Hynus, of
the New Lexington rganization,
was present and made an address
after the banquet.
He said in part: NEARLY three
and one-half years have elapsed
since the idea of a MacGahan
monument prompted the organiza-
tion of this club. Daily the
interest, enthusiasm and fervor
has increased until today the
MacGahan monument seems as
sured. We are working for a
worthy cause. We should never
forget the words of the great
English writer, Archibald Forbes,
who wrote thus in his hisrory
"lt is not too much to say that
this Ohio boy, who worked on a
farm in his youth and picked up
his education anywhere, changed
the face of Eastern Europe.
When he began to write of the
Bulgarian atrocities, the Turk
swayed direct rule TO the bank of
the Danube, and his suzerainty
stretched to the Carpathians."
"Now Romania owns no more
the suzerainty. Servia is an indie.
pendant kingdom, Bulgaria is
tributary but in name, and Rou-
meia is governed not for the Turks
but for the Roumelians. All of
this reform is the direct and
immediate outcome of the Russo
Turkish war. Bnt what brought
about tins Russo-Turkish war?
What forced the czar, reluctant as
he was and inadequately pre-
pared, to cross the Danube and
wage with varying fortunes the
war that brought his legions
finally to the very gates of STAN
boul? The passionate, irresistible
pressure of the pan-Slavist section
of his subjects, burning with an
lngovernable fury against the
ruthless Turk because of his
,ruelties on those brother Slave of
Bulgaria and Roumelia; and the
nan who told the world and those
of those horrors
he man whose voice rang clear
throughout the nations, witch its
'urdens of wrongs and shame and
Ieyiltry, was no illustrious states
nan, no famed literateur, but Just
his young American from off the
title farm in Perry County, Ohio. !"

THE OTHER DAY two lads were
taken from a Cleveland school
room which they had terrified by
displaying loaded revolvers. They
had even threatened tie teacher
and the janitor, it is said, and
were held for juvenile court in
consequence. A search of the
Sandusky schools resulted in the
confiscation of number of these
dangerous and deadly weapons
carried by boys attending there.
Doubtless if similar search of the
lads in attendance at many schools
were made, the Sandusky exhibit
would not seem so extraordinary
Weapons have a fascination for
boys and men in whom the print
tive instincts to resort to violence
yet survive, and the promiscuous
selling of such is deplorable.
The ever-ready revolver, almost
as dangerous to the user as il is to
those whom he may be tempted to
use it against, has record of
crime and death against it that
ought to Danish it from any COM
munity awake to its own best in
terests. AS long az these weapons
are permitted to he made and sold
without any restriction whatever
they will continue to get into inn
proper, incautious hands and to
be put to evil uses. 1t is difficult
to see in "a ell.ordered community
what business any law abiding in
dividual has with weapons of any
sort. The revolver often proves
snare and a source of trouble even
to the police officer. Its posses
sion IN the hands of the ordinary
person without an excuse good |
enough to he had from the police
authorities ought to be regarded |
IS prima faeie evidence of criminal
ntent and the possessor treated
accordingly. A law should be
'assed prohibiting the sale of re-
divers except 10 persons author
zed 90 carry them, and a record
ept Of such sales. i

THE NEWS
OF THE WEEK

INDIANAPOLIS - A ma
tional convention of miners of the
central competitive district will be
held here March l2 to consider the
situation left by the failure of the
operators and miners to reach an
agreement on the proposition to
call a joint convention to re estab-
lish the interstate wage agreement
and adopt scale of wages for the
bitumiDous miners.
President Mitchell called the
convention Saturday.
The national miners convention
will adopt policy to be pursued
after March 81, when the present
wage scale expires and probably
will decide upon its wage demands
for the next two years.
There probably will be only
three policies considered. The
first will be to proceed at once to
frame the wage demands and, hav-
ing completed that task, to issue a
call for a joint wage conference
between operators and miners of
Indiana, Ohio, Western Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois, opening the
door to any or all operators who
wish to sign the scale demand and
put their mines into operation.
The second proposition will be
to draft the wage demands and
then issue calls for joint wage con-
ferences with the operators by
districts. The third proposition
will be to shut down all of the
mines in one big strike, and thus
try to force settlements by COM
petitive districts.

farm east of this city that is good
for 200 barrels of oil day. The
well is about 1000 feet from the
Winegardner we'll, that has been
good one for more than SIX
months.
When the sand rock was struck
oil shot clean over the derrick.
The oil excitement mas been at
fever heat in that section, and this

After striking this well stock in
the several oil companies took a
bound upward, and the demand
for leases is greater than ever.

less in Lumber
Camp

Charging that her husband had de-
serted her while she lay sick in bunk
at a New Brunswick lumber camp,
Mrs. Bertha Gosselin yesterday sued
her husband, w. H. Gosselin, for
divorce.
The couple were married in Freder-
iclkton, n. B., twenty-five years ago.
Two years later Mrs. Gosselin said, she
visited her husbands camp, ten miles
from the city, and became seriously i'll.
Her husband, she said, left her to
depend upon the care of the lumbermen
until she was in a condition to be re-
moved to a hospital. Later she went
to Maine, and was again confined in a
hospital. Four years ago she came to
California, her parents furnishing
money to pay the expenses of her trip.
After the suit was filed, some weeks
ago, Gosselin was notified of the action
against him and wrote to Judge Rives,
making serious charges against. his
wife. These she denied, and introduced
evidence to support her statements.
The case was continued until Satur-
day by Judge Conrey.

CITIZENS IN ENTIRE
IGNORANCE OF MANY
CITY ORDINANCES
Attorney Engaged in Revising and
Compiling Them Cites Measures
of Which the Ordinary Man
Knows Nothing

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Jo-
seph Ford, who is engaged in revising
and compiling the city ordinances, says
there are a number of city laws OF
which the average citizen has nc
knowledge.
"There are few persons" said the
attorney, "who are aware of the exist
ence of a law prohibiting person from
coasting down a hill on push cart
Other ordinances, such as the prohibi-
tion of playing baseball on the streets
and skating on the sidewalks, are not
generally known by the public.
I'm going through the various laws
find there are some which have beer
repealed, though no one knows It.
There have been prosecutions under
some of those old ordinances which
have long since ceased to be law. Nc
one was to blame for this, however, as
the ordinances were arranged in such
a jumbled fashion that it was impossi-
BILE to keep track of them. The system
under which they are now being ar
ranged and indexed will do away with
the confusion, and there will be nc
trouble in the future in locating any
particular ordinance desired"
