RATcHFoRD DUMPED.

Having made as much use of
Michael D. Ratchford politically as
they deemed necessary in their busi-
ness, the Republican bosses now in
control, have dumped him in favor of
one whom they believe they can use
10 better advantage.
The machine has put in his place
w. T. Lewis, who held the
place under Governor McKinley-it is
the miners vote they want and hope
to get through him, as his brother,
Tom l.. Lewis, is president of the
Mine Workers of America.
1t was after the election of Tom
Lewis to succeed John Mitchell as
president of the miners, that the deal
was made by Vorys with W. H. Lewis,
last February, for his support in the
Taft campaign and now he has got his
reward.
All this despite the howl made by
G. o. p. papers about dragging the
American Federation of Labor into
politics" because Gompers, Mitchell
and other labor leaders are support
ing William J. Bryan for president.

Gently all from the necessities of the

The lack Of gratitude and public

dictment of the existing order.
The fact made manifest in legal in
quiry that directors OF large private
semi-public and fiduciary concerns
have contributed largely of funds in
their charge to defeat the Democracy,
coupled with the fact that Mr.. Taft is
still determined not to let the public
know who is financing him until 1t is
too late to affect the vote, is a clinch-
ing argument against his election.

AGAINST TAFT.

The slogan Keep on letting well
enough alone" is not much heard this
year. Its potency to carry National
elections has been seriously impaired
by the panic last fall, which made
quite rift in the prosperity lutte
There is widespread belief that the
standpat doctrine is and has been
very much oVsrValued. Those who
have thought that Theodore Roose-
velt voiced the general sentiment of
unrest and wss moving against its
cause are confused now that they see
Tafts running mate, and the platform
he is supposed to be running on or
away with. Taft's willingness to be
all things to everybody and the sin
lister backing that he has, leave Roose-
welt admirers much in doubt not only
whether l'aft is Roosevelt successor,
but whether Roosevelt himself is what
they thought him TO be.

ests in a currency relief bill that goes
no farther west than Wall street, are

DEMOCRATIC SPIRIT
OVER IN COLUMBIANA
Has Returned With Old Time Force,
Perfect Harmony Prevails and
Victory Is Assured.

New Waterford, Sept. .6.-P. F. Voll-
nogle, Democratic candidate for treas
urer of COlumbiana county, returned
Friday noon from a hurried visit to
the south end of the county, where
he was in close consultation with the
Democratic leaders. He was accom-
panied by Hon John ]. Whitacre, of
Canton, the Democratic candidate for
congress, and T. S. Arnold, of Lee
tonia, editor of the Leetonia Reporter,
and chairman of the Democratic
county executive committee. The
party was accorded an enthusiastic
reception everywhere. At Salineville
they were compelled to hold an i'm
promptu reception in the hotel par
lors, where dozens of voters, Repub-
licans and Democrats, called to pay
their respects and pledge their sup
port to the candidates.
In an interview today, Mr.. Voll-
nogle said: 81 was greatly pleased
to note that perfect harmony prevails
within the party, there is no dis
cord anywhere. The old Democratic
spirit seems to have returned two
fold, and when the Democracy is unit
ed victory is assured. The entire
Democratic ticket, national state and
district, is popular with the people.
The people realize that the Democrat
ic party is pledged to institute much
needed reforms for the benefit of all
the people. The national platform
specifies what those reforms shall be.
and all candidates stand squarely up
on the platform. The tariff reform
plank and the plank providing for
the guarantee of bank deposits. are
endorsed by the farmers and working
people everywhere" When asked
concerning the congressional fight, Mr..
Vollnogle declared that Mr.. Whitacre
would carry Columbiana county.

MAYOR TAKES HAND IN
BOARDWALK MYSTERY

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 6.--Mayor
F. P. Stoy has announced his inten-
tion Of taking a personal hand In the
solution Of the mysterious shooting of
Charles B. Roberts, Baltimore society
man, and has consulted the police in
charge of the case as to their need
of money or help from the executive
office of the city in searching for the
assailant Of Roberts.
We must not allow such an affair
to take place on the boardwalk of the
city without punishment being meted
out to the man who did the deed"
said the mayor 81 have gone over
the case and believe the police de-
partmen, will make an arrest In a
few days"
Roberts is still rallying in the hos
pital and unless complications set in,
can soon be removed to his hotel. II
is believed that the police will make
a. last attempt to secure q statement
from him before they allow him to
leave the city and it is now generally
known that unless the wounded man
will tell all he knows of the case, in
Guiding the identity of his assailant,
that mystery may never be solved.

RevampIna the Rate Question.

Railroads of Cleveland and terri
tory have increased their revenue
without advancing freight rates. In
this they have taken an advanced
step that may follow In other cities,
says the Plain Dealer.
The Cleveland freight committee,
it was announced yesterday, has re-
vised switching rates. From one in
dustry to another, on the same rail
road, a switching charge of Is cents a
ton is now in effect; from one in
dustry to another, on different roads,
charge of % cents a ton will be
made.
one road switches for another road
stands the same as ever. 1t is esti-
mated that on an average the charges
will mean from 90 cents to $100 per
car more revenue, but shippers are
not protesting.
Receipts are also being swelled by
revamping of minimum car load
weights. A general rule just adopted
increases the minimum weight that
will be hauled at car load rates from
26,000 to 10000 pounds. 1t was pre-
Viously increased from $4,000 to
$4,000.
On iron articles generally the min
imum has been raised to $4,000
pounds; ON cement, from 10000 to
$4,000 pounds; on agricultural imple-
ments. from 10000 to $4,000 Brick
has been raised to minimum of 4O,-
600 pounds a car.

SAYS JORDAN INSANE

Boston, Sept. 6.-Dr. William Le
Blanc, next door neighbor to the Jor-
dams and for more than year their
family physician, who had been chos-
en- as the chief witness for the de-
fense, said to a reporter today:
1 believe JORDAN was insane when
he killed his wife. 1 used to wonder
how he could stand it to live with
her. Day after day she would become
intoxicated and make a spectacle. of
herself. He was the most patient man
l ever saw.

called to treat her for laudanum pois-

.debauch, careless of the result
How Jordan, quiet, patient fellow
that he was could live with this wom-
an is more than can see.
"I can we'll understand that Jordan,
impressionable as l at once saw he
was, could have been driven insane by
this terrible life he had to lead. His
mind must have been preyed upon for
years and finally his mental condition
would undoubtedly become weaken

POINTS FAVORABLE TO BRYAN.

AS the two great parties are coming
to close quarters in the contest for
the Presidency many solid reasons
are seen why the probability of
Bryan's election this year is greater
than it was at the beginning of Sep
tember in 1896 or in 1900.
The first of these is that many of
the surviving issues of what was In
those years passionately and vehe-
mently denounced as Organism"
have been put into effect y d Repub-
iican President and Congress with
out subverting civilization or bringing
anarchy.
Another Is that the Chicago plat
form intimates most of the things
which the Democratic platform
says distinctly and without equivoca-
tion. This is almost an open confes-
sion that the living policies for which
Bryan has contended are right, and
the voters know that, if successful,
the Democrats will do what they say,
while doubling nightly if the Repub-
lican party can free itself from the
evil influences which control it and do
what 1t intimates.
The Republican platform and the
utterances or the Republican can6i-
date tie the hands of Bourbon stand
patters who throw stones at Bryan
as the enemy of American industry
for his advocacy of rational tariff
revision. The hysterical shrieks from
that source heard in 1896 and in 1900
are pitched In a much lower key In
1908.
Though the Interests" are still in
close alliance with the Republican
organization, the outcry of previous
years against Bryan as the arch
enemy of business prosperity is little
heard outside the columns Of a rabid
partisan and sectional press.
The people generally recognize in
Bryan the aggressive, but oonserVa-
tive, leader Of one of the great poll
tical parties of the United States,
deliberately rechosen " be its stand

SEVEN TEEN
Vote for Bryan in One Illinois Family.
Challenge for Its Equal.

Chicago, m, Sept. 6.-Carlyle, Illi-
entire country to produce a fam
lily that will furnish more votes
for Bryan for president than the
Hubert family of that city. There will
De total of seventeen votes. with
Anthony Hubert, the father, aged
eighty-four years at he head of the
list. Uncle Toney" the name by whicn
he is known by scores of friends
in this locality, has been voting the
Democratic ticket ever since he was
old enough to cast his first ballot,
which was for James X. Polk for pres
ident. He is an uncompromising Dem
ocrat, and generally votes er straight
unless there is some candidate on the
ticket below the president and gov
ernor that does not suit him. He will
then do a little scratching. That he al
ways exercises good judgment is evil
dent from the fact that he has guessed
the successful presidential candidate
in the last six campaigns. He is very
anxious to stick one more ballot in for
Bryan, for he believes he is going to
pick another winner.
Uncle Toney" has six childfen,
thirty-three grandchildren and nine
great grandchildren. The Bryan votes
will be furnished by himself, four sons
and twelve grandsons, and they will
be scattered through at least four diff
ferent states. Seven Of the votes will
come from Frank Hubert. who lives
near Carlyle, and his six sons. He is
the father of sixteen children, all liv-
ing excepting one, and he is not an old
man either. A picture of this remark
able family was sent to President
Roosevelt, and he sent back letter
graduating the parents and invit-
ing the entire family to visit the
White House. They are going to ac-
cept the invitation, but will do so
after March 4, when they declare they
will have the opportunity of accept
ing Mr.. Bryan's hospitality.

TAFT AND FORAKER AMBuscADE

So Mahomet went to the mountain.
Tradition d5es not tell us whether
there was any change in either Maho-
met or the mountain afterward, but
the reasonable presumption is that
that there was none
1t may be even SO with Foraker, who
played the role of Mahomet, and Taft,
who typified the mountain, in the
manner of their meeting at Toledo.
Mr.. Taft's refusal to go to Ft.
Meigs, where Mr.. Foraker spoke Tues
day, and Mr.. Foraker's refusal to go
to Middle Bass Island, where Taft is
fishing and playing golf now seem to
be only prologue.
General Keifer, General Corb1n and
some of Foraker's friends had worked
for ten days to shape events so that
Foraker and Taft would be forced to
meet in public where any display of
feeling by either would belittle the
one who would offer an affront.
Clever plotting got Taft on the G.
A. r. reviewing stand first Senator
Foraker was in a carriage with Sena-
tor Dick and Governor Harris and
Mayor Whitlock. Courtesy required
that when they met upon the stand
they greet so distinguished guest as
candidate for president. What
could Foraker do but shake hands.
He could not consistently pull
machete from his boots aud hew
down Mr.. Taft where be stood.
Thus Mahomet was brought to the
mountain. But in this instance there
is a sequel.
The sequel was the Lincoln club
meeting, at which Mr.. Taft said that
he was pleased that Senator Foraker
was present and chat we are going
to stand together in the campaign
shoulder to shoulder"
Did Taft know that Foraker was
going to bestow honeyed phrases on
him and then In the manner of chal-
lenge and with a spirit of defiance
announce his candidacy for reelection
to the senate2 Probably not. He
may also have been unaware that
Dick would still further compromise
him by declaring that 1t would be a
mistake not to return Foraker to the
Senate.
Therefore, If Foraker was led into
ambush to meet Taft on the review
ing stand, Foraker and Dick are
more than even, though the success
of the ruse which led Taft into am
bush at the Lincoln club.
1t is too early to form an opinion
as to how the whole affair will turn
out Theodore Burton, Harry Daugh-
erty and others who were in the elm
ination game, with ambition to sit in
the Senate. are more directly con-
cerned than anybody else.

GOVERNMENT oEPosIToRlEs.

When national bank Is also a gov
ernment depository why is it so eager
to advertise that fact?
Because 1t helps to inspire conf
dence among the people. II Uncle
Sam trusts the bank the people are
more likely to trust It.
There is nothing wrong about ma
tional bank advertising that it is a
national depository. In fact, 1t is JUS
titled in doing so. Other national
banks which are not so favored envy
the depository banks and would be
quick to announce 1t If Uncle Sam
were to make repositories of them.
But Uncle Sam demands guarantee
for his deposits. Why should not the in
dividual have the same protection
Because Uncle Sam is the collective
individual. He is a personification
of THE PEOPLE.
And If 1t inspires confidence to
advertise that bank Is national
depository, because its government
deposits are guaranteed, what would
be the effect If bank could ALSO
advertise that 1t ALSO guarantees
the deposits of the people?
Mr.. Taft will never be able to tell you
nor to learn any more about them than
he knows now so long as he knocks
a ball around over golf links. Per
haps Cox, with whom he is engaged
in common enterprise" this year,
can tell him when he gets to Cincin-
natl next week that he talks too much
about things he doesn't know any
thing about.
