Our Barbarous Fourth. +"

"There is an article in the June
Century, by Mrs. Isaac l.. Rice,
on "Our Barbarous Fourth" AS
an evidence of it's barbarism, she
shows that during the celebration
of five national birthdays, from
1908 to 1907 inclusive, 1853 per-
sons were killed and 81, $50 were
injured, OF the injured, SO suf-
fered total and 39S partial blind
ness 3Os persons lost arms, legs
or hands, and 1867 lost one or
more fingers.
"Indeed, that seems like bar
barism, especially when one re-
members the su ifering, physical
and mental that followed those
five days. And then think of the
dependence upon others that tins
barbarism exacted. Think of
those SS totally blind peoplN and
1867 armless or legless-how much
shadow they must have cast upon
the lives of those people and their
loving friends. A survey of these
figures make one almost feel sorry
that the Fourth of July comes
around.
But it need not be. 1t ia a
shame that it is so. But we sup
pose it will 80 remain as long as
noise and slamb bang are regarded
as the necessary expression of
patriot when it iniiicts so much
pain and sorrow upon men, for
mere show and noise. Patriotism
is the mingled emotions of thought
and sentiment, and these find in
complete and haggard expression
IN the explosion OF cannon crack
or or the crash of big torpedo.
There was much sense in the
old time celebration, with its
music, parade erd oratory, and it
is great pity it cannot be re-
stored and the reign Of hoOdlum-
lem is utterly annihilated. We
are sure this wish is in tune with
public sentiment and legislatures,
ceurts, mayors and public safety
boards should take the hint.

A Little Spite Work.
tCircleville Democrat.l

The case of the State of Ohio
va William Klingersmith, Edward
Wright and David A. Lane, ex-
Infimary Directors, of Pickaway
county, who were indicted for the
embezzlement of 81, 5000 of the
money Of the county, which occu-
pied the attention of the Court
and Il jury for nearly three weeks,
was terminated Thursday after
noon, 4th. inst, by the jury being
discharged, it reporting that it
was unable to agree. 1t is said
that nine of the jurors voted for
acquittal and three for conviction.
Upon the trial of the case the
State did claim that defendants
now haye in their possession any
money of the county. The State
claimed that a Statute made it the
duty OF the defendants to report
to the County Commissioners on
the Monday of March and Sep
tember of each year the amount of
moneys collected by them, and
that upon their making such re-
port it was their duty to pay the
amount which they reported as
having received into the county
treasury. The defendants made
a report to the County Commis-
sioner on August 27, 1906, and
another report ont he Goth. day of
February, 1907. The State clsim-
that the defendants received
money between the 9th. day of
August, 1906, and the Goth. day
of February, 1907, which they
failed to include in their report
made on the Goth. day of Febru-
ary, 1907, and failed to pay into
the county treasury.

Don't Want To Work The
Roads.
Jacksonville Register.]

In one section of Hooking coun-
ty a curious condition has arisen.
Candidates for county Office have
been importuned and have felt the
effect of the unusual request in
the initiative. The condition is
that of working two days on the
public highways as required by
the laws of the state of Ohio for
some decades, In sections of the
county there seems to be a dis
position that no roads be worked,
especially by those who do not own
vehicles or horses. County candi-
dates have been made to bear the
brunt. How and in what manner
these candidates can ameliorate
this condition is inconceivable as
this poll tax or road working law
was passed years ago by the legis-
lature of Ohio.
Furthermore, there is no escape
for any able-b0died man except he
be above 55 years or veteran of
the Civil war from working his
two days annually on the roads in
the township or precinct in which
he resides.
This law is as immutable as that
of capital punishment or any 9TH
or law on the statute books of
Ohio, and the coat from mans
back can be attached by officers of
the law for nonfulfllment ot this
duty.

The Editors Embarass-
ment.

An Ohio editor and his wife
went to dinner dance, asserts an
exchange. They arrived 40 late
that the dressing rooms were
empty. His wife noticed rip in
her husbands trousers. She there
fore led him into the ladies' dress
ing room, saying she could fix the
tear with pin. On eXamina-
tion however, she found she
could not mend the rent unless
he dotted the garment. He took it
off. Just then foot steps were heard
and women g voices. The husband
in fright looked for an avenue
of escape, but saw but one other
door besides the one thru which
they entered. The wife was still
more terror striken, and seizing
him, she precipitately showed him
thru the second door and turned
the lock. AT the same instance
two women came into the dressing
room and discovered the wife
standing with a mans trousers in
her hands. She attempted to ex-
pain, but her words were drowned
by series of ferocious poundings
on the door thru which her hus-
Land had disappeared. "Open
the door!' "Open the door!''
shouted the husband. 81 can't
shrieked the poor wife. "There
are two women here !" "Hang the
women! shouted the editor
again. "I'm ont here in the
ball ROOM

Complimentary to Harry
E. Speaks.

One hunured RAILROAD men, IHOs
of them former employees of Harry
f. Speaks during his term as sup
erinteudent of the T. u o. G., rail
way, rendered him banquet at
the Beggs restaurant last evening
They presented Mr.. Speaks with
a $500 diamond and also gave him
pitcher, which they asked him
to give to his mother. Mr.. Speaks
recently was promoted to be sup
srintendent of the Hooking Valley,
in place of Superintendent Quig-
ley, who was given leave of alb.
sence because of i'll health.
Those present at the banquet in
cluded trainmasters, master me-
chanics, clerks. dispatchere, yard
masters, superintendants, conduc-
tors and workers in other Depart
ments of the railroad service
There were men from Bncyrus,
Corning, Kenton, Toledo, Findlay,
Fultonham, Middleport, st. Marys
and other cities.
The presentation speech was
made by Dick Soules, passenger
conductor of Columbus. He al
luded to the fact that the men sit
ting shoulder to shoulder at the
banquet table had been doing their
daily work in Office, shop or round
house, maintaining tracks, road
bed and equipment, and felt that
they were something more than
parts of a railroad machine.
"For, in larger sense," he
added, eth, railroad is not ma
chine ut all; 1T is not made up of
things, of roadbed and steel rails
and motive power and rolling
stock; but it is made up of men,
men with red blood, warm hearts,
cool heads and high courage.
In order that you may remember
us as kindly as we remember you,
we have brought you this diamond.
Its clear light is no purer or deep
er than our love for you. If you
look deep into its depths, you will
see glowing flame of fire, no
warmer, indeed, than the warm
regard for you deep down in the
heart of every one of us. Take
1t; wear it; and with it take our
kind wishes and sincere regards,
and wear in your heart our love
and loyalty.
There is only one person in all
the world, of whose love and
devotion, always and everywhere,
you, can be absolutely certain,
your mother. To her, even we
must yield in our affection for
you; and, for her we have pro-
cured this pitcher. We desire
that you should give it to her in
our name, and say to her that we
have given it to the mother of
him whom we delight to honor"
