CAN'T HIDE THE FACTS

The effort to make local option a
party issue may be shrewd, or It may
not. But 1t won't work any way. The
Anti.Saloon league may support Gov.
ernor Harris II II chooses, but it can
not hide the fact that the governor
has strained his authority to shield
Cox and other party bosses; that he
has utterly failed In his duty of ex-
amining state Offices where charges
Of wrongdo.ng had been made, and
will stand; that he turned down all
the reforms begun by Pattison, and
stands shoulder 10 shoulder with the
corruptionists whol have made Ohio
Republicanism a byword. They can
not obscure the counter fact that Jud.
son Harmon Is one of the ablest men
In the republic, clean, honorable. up.

which Governor Harris is not. And
all this means Democratic victory In

this fact there was crowd var
iously estimated at from three to
five thousand people at the depot to

Both Mr. Bryan ana MIR. Harmon,
who was with Mr.. Bryan on the
train, were 80 deeply impressed by
the demonstration which was accord.
ed them at Marion that they could
not cease talking about IL on their

Marion men, including County Chair
man Martin, J Burke, went to Co
lumbus on the same train, TO attend
the reception given by MIR. Bryan
and Mr.. Harmon in the afternoon.

A WARM SPOT IN
HIS HEART FOR MARION

Marion people made a decided hit
with William j Bryan Wednesday
when they turned out in such large
numbers 10 see him and hear him
speak. Mr. Bryan understood that
the stop at Marion was 10 be only
the regular stop OF the regular
Hooking Valley train and that if he
addressed the people at all, it would
be a very few remarks. The matter
was so advertised in these columns.
1t was impressed upon the minds of

the Marion steam Shovel works in
closing down all departments OF the
SHOPS Wednesday morning when Mr.
Bryan's train was approaching Mar
ION IN order that the workmen
might have the opportunity to see

one which should be commended by
the people Of Marion and especially
by the employees themselves.

said that legislatures have power to
authorize committees Of their Nom.
bership to sit after adjournments of
the legislatures, whereas there is not
a single reported authority in the
United States to the contrary.
This substantiates what Judge Har.
mon said TO the Democratic editors
of Ohio at Columbus Aug II on this
same subject, viz;
"The Gayman probe was attacked
by the personal attorney of the Gin
cinnau Republican organization, and
IL was onioined by the same circuit
court whose members admitted. dur
ing the progress OF the Gayman probe,
that they had been told how to decide
cases. Don't you think that is state
issue? Don't you think. when the
courts become in such condition they
can be welded by political organiza.
tions the future of the government is
in danger? The law contemplates
that no injunction could, or should,
issue unless on n showing that some
body was about to be iTreparably
damaged, Who was about to be ire
parably damaged in this case? Not
the state. Not any honest man whose
transactions would bear the scrutiny
of an unbiased commission. The
United States marshal came into the
committee room voluntarily and testi-
fed as TO where the money went He
testified that It went TO headquarters.
Immediately an organization lawyer
rushed into court aud enioined the
committee. Who was to be irrepara
bly, damaged by the disclosures that
We're about to be made? These are
things the people ought TO know and
take it they will know more about
them before the campaign is over"

and hear this great nationel character
is also an action which is most
commendable ...
IL is seldom indeed that the work
ing men have had opportunity to
see aud hear a men who has the
world wide reputation which Mr..
Bryan enjoys. Marion is not on the
trail which is usually taken by men
Of such prominence and when they
do visit the city, the workingmen
should have the opportunity OF seeing
them. other shops in the city would
doubtlessly have taken the same &c
tion had their shops been so fav-
orable located as those of the Mar
ion Steam Shovel company and they
could not be expected to close down
under the conditions.
High school pupils are being edu-
Gated concerning the great men Of
this nation. Mr.. Bryan is truly one
OF the great men and it is better
than a lesson to permit them to see
him and hear him speak. The cour-
tesy OF the school board Wednesday
will never be forgotten by the pupil ,
who will remember to their last
days th9t they were privileged TO
see Mr. Bryan without having to
play hockey"
one very commendable thing In
connection with the closing of the
Steam Shovel shops is the fairness
which is exhibited by the manage
ment, 1t is we'll known that poll
tically the president of this COM
pany is II Republican yet he did not
permit his political preferences TO
influence him to the extent of
denying this privilege to the em-
ployes. II shows a fairness upon the
part of MIR. George w. King which
will endear him to the hearts of
all OF his workmen and to every
citizen of Marion as well. No notices
of intimidation will be posted and
no attempts at coercion will be
made in the shops which ere pre-
sided over by men OF Mr., Kings

In the brief filed In the supreme
court Of Ohio by Theodore Horstman
attorney for the Gayman Legislative
investigation committee, appealing
from the Cincinnati circuit court de
cision, it is set forth that in its opin.
ion the circuit court said, the condi.
tions relied on in the resolution arc
little short Of anarchy itscA" and
that mo legislation could. under such
conditions, be suggested that would
be more effective than the present
statutes"
Mr. HOrstman contends that mas.
much as the demurrer admits the al
legations of the answer, the circuit
court was bound to assume that the
conditions as alleged did exist in Ham.
ilton county. Assuming then that u
condition OF anarchy" in certain gov
ernmental respects exists in any
county in this state can the court
deny to the general assembly the
right Of investigation with view to
passing remedial laws?
He also reminds the supreme court
that the joint resolution merely re.
iterates the charges made by the sec.
retary of war, William II. Taft, in his
famous speech I'm 1905 judge Taft

PRESTON.

PRESTON.
Another resignation at Athens
hospital calls attention TO the con-
stant tumult at that state institution.
This leaves for the present only
the superintendent and a ward
physician OF two years experience
in charge of 1900 patients.
Still Governor Harris would say,
as he said in his speech at Youngs
town, that the state institutions are
alright because he has officially in-
spectod them. and that it Is wrong
to criticise because ''frlends of the
unfortunate inmates become alarmed
and their anxiety already intense.
becomes most distressing"
The way to put an end to such
anxiety and alarm is not TO suppress
criticism but to put a stop to
causes for criticism. The admins
tratlon of Governor Harris has been
notorious for state institution scan
dals and Investigations some OF
which have resulted in indictments
by grand julies.
1t is not surprising that Governor
Harris desired to suppress criticism
But there are state institutions which

tions that need 1t, as well as OF the

JUST ORDINARY MOTHERS

Mrs. William Rockefeller, one OF
the first women OF the land a lady
who could occupy the first social po-
sition in her home city, woman
who because of her wealth might be
touring the world and setting people
TO talking about her because of her
extravaganza and the unusual things
she might do, states that her ambition
has been TO be just an ordinary
mother and to bring up her four
children to be just ordinary men and
women.
This Is the sentiment which should
appeal TO the hearts of the true
American citizens. We do not un-
dertake to say that good mothers are
becoming scarce, but all will agree
that we have not enough Of them.
There are women VINO bear children
and turn them over to the care OF
some one else or to the care of them
selves and think that their duties to
their families are ended. The wealthy
turn their children over TO nurse
and later TO governess, the poor
people turn them into the streets to
look out for themselves. We do not
mean that all mothers pursue this
course, but there are all too many OF
them who do, and 1t is difficult to
say which is the worse. With the
poor II Is often a necessity, while
with the wealthy It is from choice,
and desire to be rid OF the care and
trouble which the little one causes.
Instead of the wealthy mother giving
over the care and training of her
baby to some other persons, while
she engages in frivolities, such as
giving splash parties and monkey
dinners, she would be performing the
work which was intended for her TO
a better advantage by attending to
her offspring, making just ordinary
men and women out of her children.
Mrs, Rockefeller's aim 10 make
just ordinary men aud women of her
children Is probably another secret Of
her success as a mother. A mother
especially If she be wealthy mother
is too likely to consider her children
extraordinary and TO raise them
with this idea In view. They grow
up with the idea that they are bet
ter than other people and that they
have right TO expect homage from
those who are considered under them.
They are the ones who are always
looking for a "white shirt" job and
are unwilling to being at the bottom
and work up.
The hope of the country lies in the
boys and girls who are just the max
ing Of just ordinary men and women
and who have been reared by just
such mothers as Mrs. Rockefeller
Gays she has tried 10 be.

STILL INITIATING BRYAN.

Mr.. Tart is reported to be busily
engaged writing speeches for his
campaign tour. 1t is evident that he
must write them far enough in ad-
vance to give sufficient time for edit
ing by the president before Nlr. Taft
delivers them.
Mr.. Bryan has been criticised by
Republican editors for speaking on
one subject at one place and on
another subject at another place, in
which way Mr. Bryan keeps all the
issues of the campaign before the
people. His Republican critics would
infer that Mr.. Bryan should havs
only one set speech and deliver
that wherever he goes, so that they
cculd turn on the other side and
say Mr.. Bryan delivered the same
old speech and had nothing new to
say Sof sp -er ,s-,t..
Now the word comes from Taft
headquarters that MIR TAFT is writ
ing not ga speech" but speeches
lie is to deliver during Ills trip. So
that Mr.. Taft is going to initiate
Mr., Bryan again.
When MIR. Bryan had ,phonograph
records made OF his speeches, Mr.
Taft's cAckers made fun of him,
called them canned speeches" and
said it was undignified. But Mr.
TAFT soon followed Mr. Blyan's cX-
ample and had canned speeches
of his own made for campaign use.
Before ho left Hot Springs Mr.,
TAFT announced that he would stick
to his brothers front porch and not
make "a speaking tour because that Is
undlgniiied in "A candidate Tor presl-
dent. Now Mr. Taft is going to
make three tours.
Instead OF one set speech Mr.. Taft
Is preparing to initiate MIR. Bryan by
delivering different speeches at diff
lerent places.
This is so complimentary to Mr..
Bryan that the people will make
Mr. Bryan president so he can show
Mr.. Taft how to conduct that high
Office, where imitation by Mr.. Taft
will cease.

TAFT ADDS INSULT TO INJURY

TAFT ADDS INSULT TO INJURY
Growing out Of the sensational
charges made by Mr., Hearst in his
speech at Columbus, Mr. Tpft added
insult to injury when he said with
reference to Mr.. Foraker: "If II
would win me every vote in the
United States, | cannot hit a man
when he Is down.
So then MIR. Taft regards the man
he and his machine in Ohio started
in TO eliminate, rs down and out.
President Roosevelt who has in.
sisted on the elimination of Foraker
Is also quoted as being dee-lightec
with the outcome of Hearst's on
slaught on Foraker
All this will surely be very inn
portant, not only to the Ohio Sena-
tors, but also to their friends and
followers.
Mr.. Ilearsts charges have IN no
wise injured Mr.. Bryan. lie fails
to go further than mere inunendo
and by striking at Mr. Bryan over
the shoulders OF Governor Haskell
of Oklahoma, But Governor Haskell
comes back at Mr.. Hearst with q
challenge to produce the proof whicn
MIR. Hearst must accept or stand be-
fore the public in an unenyiable
position.
. Hence, Mr.. Hearst has succeeded
only in driving Senator Foraker out
of the campaign and Mr.. Taft caps
the climax by saying he "cannot hit
a man when he is down"
There is also some Significance In

was in Cincinnati Sunday, should
