Political Rhetoric.

Senator Bevtr dye scattered few
flo iers over his audience at Youngs-
town, and there is none who could do
1t more gracefully |, is good thing
to do. Flowers ON the wayside are
always enjoyable. The senator's allu-
sion to the two candidates was happy /:
Hr. Bryan is an Aaron, but not a
Noses; Henry, but not Washing
ton; Wendell Phillips, but not an
Abraham Lincoln. he IL the storm of
unrest which clears the atmosphere,
but not the trade winds that carry to
p rt the freighted ships of peoples
hope
That description will appeal to
everyone, even to Mr. Bryan's own
partisans, as true in fact as 1t is
felicitous in expression. And then
the senator goes on to say:
Four years ago, in his own home,
paying tribute TO his character and
mind, | called him a dreamer who
beholds happy visions but achieves
no useful deed. His is the mind that
thinks of the barren field bending
with grain; but his is not the plow-
mans hand, the sower's craft or the
cleaners husbandrY. The poets
dream of an undiscovered Utopia has
cheered us all; but the Pilgrims
actually landing on Plymouth rock
planted the real tree of liberty, be-
meath whose real shade we rest and
by whose real fruits we live.
Keeping on with the illustration,
the senator declares "Taft is of the
Pilgrim stuff-his is the wisdom that
makes the ideal vision the living
fact" Strongly and happily said.
And then, speaking further of Judge
Taft, the senator brings out this tell
ing figure:
" hen the great commander who
has guided our ship of state through
storms of opposition and amid the
rocks of hatred straight for the port
of our larger liberties, voluntarily
steps from the bridge and delivers to
us his high commission, let US hand 1t
to the ablest officer aboard and safely
make the harbor of our hearts desire.
What breeze of good sense there
is in this utterance, and how strongly
1t will appeal to sensible men l-Ohio

Breeding Disease.

The stencil arising from the small
branch that crosses High street at
the foot of the south High street hill
is awful. This branch we understand
is the cess pool from the city build
ing. In its presen, conditions 1t is a
menace to the health of the residents
of The town and some action should be
taken by the city officials to correct
this nuisance Residents of that
neighborhocd are living under most
adverse conditions The stencil being
such that their homes are hard y IN
habitable. Rank weeds eight o ten
feet high grow all along the stream
and altogether it is about the bes
breeding place tor disease that can be
imagined The Board of Health
should certainly get busy and correct
this evil at once.

Quite spirited contest developed
in a great many precincts in the
county at the Republican primaries
last Friday. A very respectable vote
was polled in most of the precincts,
Under these conditions someone, of
course, was beaten. And while 1t is
not the most pleasant thing In the
world to be beaten, don't let Il make
any sore spots If you happen to be on
the loosing side. Every citizen should
take to himself the privilege to vote
and think as he pleases and should
extend the same privilege to every
body else. The primaries are tn
places where Republicans should fight
their battles. Now that they are over
let every Republican forget the little
differences he may have with mem
bers of his own party and turn his
efforts to the defeat of the common
enemy, the Democrats. Simply be
cause the ajority of the people who
voted at the primaries on Friday did
not agree with you as to who was tn
best man to represent your precinct
in the council. of your party should
not lessen your earnest endeavors to
secure the election of the ticket
nominated Wednesday. There will be
other primaries and If you think you
are right, and we have no doubt that
you do, commence now to make your
neighbor think the same as Jou do
and by the next time their may be
different story to tell. You should,
however, abide by the will of the
majority and assist your committee
man in every way to roll up a good
vote for the ticket this fall. Don't
sulk or be sore head.

Candidates Of Breweries.

We do not believe that any man
who knows anything about Tom L.
johnson, mayor of Cleveland and for.
mer Democratic candidate for govern.
or, will for a minute doubt that he
would not know what element was
controlling any convention of which
he was part. The following extract
from his speech at Columbus b fore
the nomination of Harmon shows
clearly his opinion of the present
Democratic candidate for governor !:
"The liquor interests are In Column
bus to control the Democratic conven-
tion. "*+ It is a foolish attempt
on the part of the liquor interests of
Ohio to sidetrack all great Issues and
place the whisky label all over the
Democratic party. ### The De.
mocracy of Ohio cannot go before the
people with candidate for governor
who is an attorney for the brewing
interests, and who is known as the
legal representative and railroad re-
ceiver in Ohio of the Morgan inter
ests in New York
Democracy has come before the
people with such candidate. And
1t is now up to the people to show
where they stand. We believe the
answer will be decisive and against
the liquor interests.

Strong Ticket.

A very strong ticket was nominated
by the Republicans at their county
convention held Wednesday Every
candidate from Representative to
Coroner is we'll fitted for the Office to
which he aspires and should receive
the hearty support of every Republi-
can. Several of them are candidates
for a second term and their conduct
of the affairs of their respective office
is the highest recommendation that
could be given them All of them are
men of high standing in their own
communities and have proven them
selves men of ability in their chosen
vocatio1s. Examine the personnel
of this ticket carefully and see If you
do not think they are just the kind
of men you would desire to have In
your employ. These are the men
whom the Republican party of High
land County present to you as their
choice for your servants for the next
two years and we believe that 1t has
indeed been fortunate in its choice
and that the people will heartily en-
dorse every selection. Vote the Re-
publican ticket this fall just as 1t is
printed and you are assured OF an
honest, able and efficient conduct of
public affairs

This is certainly a most emphatic
statement by the people of that town
ship against the saloon. A township
that only has one man In 1t who is in
favor of the open saloon is indeed to
be congratulated.

resigned in disgust recently. declaring
that to successfully enforce the lobster
law there would have to be an officer for
every fisherman.
But this spring the situation has as
sumed a new phase. Last fall it was de-
cided to adopt different tactics with the
fishermen. Emissaries were sent along
the coast appealing to the fishermen's
seEse of honor. So successful were
these workers that the Lobster Fisher
mems Union was formed and has grown
until today it numbers in the neighbor
hood of 800 fishermen. These men have
agreed to obey the law and to use every
effort in aiding the wardens to bring to
justice those who persist in handling
short Holsters.

No one ever accused the gypsy of being
an anarchist. He is too indolent. too
easy-going to take an interest in politics.
He cares nothing about who governs the
country or how the wealth Is distributed
as long as he can go from place to place
in his decorated wagon and get enough
to eat to keep life In himself. his wife,
his children. his horse and dogs.
For the rest, give him but the sunshine
and the open air; wealth can be distrib-

monarchs can be good or bad. he cares
not at all; he has neither country nor

take life as a means of bringing about
different political conditions.
