circulate among his neighbors and
friends to help get the required
amount of acreage to assure plant of
this kind at Princeton.
"A number of these papers are
already being circulated among the
farmers and if those who have papers
out for that purpose will be present at
the creamery meeting next Saturday
or, If it is not convenient to be at that
meeting, will leave the paper at the
First National bank it will be pos
sible to tell what the prospect is for
getting the plant located here.
"Mr. Stroeter will again be present
at the meeting next Saturday and all
those who are interested in the pickle
plant should be present and hear what
he has to say. It seems to US that
this is a golden opportunity for our
farmers to add one more good paying
farm product to the list and we hope
to see a large number of farm
ers attend this meeting next Satur-
day.

established at Foley last year paid
the farmers over six thousand dollars
in cash for cucumbers and has over
twenty-eight carloads of pickles to

not like potatoes or cream, they cannot
be raised and shipped out of the
country fresh but must be cured and
salted in the town nearest to the
farmers who are growing them.
"Mr. Stroeter of the Stroeter Pick
ling company addressed the farmers
of this locality at the creamery meet
ing which was held in the opera house
here last Saturday and is now de-
sirous of locating a picking plant at
this place. All the conditions that
they ask of the farmers are that they
grow during the coming season 100
acres of cucumbers and deliver them
at the plant in Princeton, which will
be built and equipped as soon as the
above acreage is pledged by the
farmers.
"The picking company will furnish
seed to the farmers at the wholesale
price and accept the pay in cucumbers
when the crop is delivered.
"If this acreage is secured here this
year the company will put up a bond
to operate the plant for a period of
five years and pay not less than the
prices guaranteed in the contracts this
year. The U nj o n has printed these
contracts at the top of long sheets of
paper and any farmer who is inter-

to officially receive them in the gov
ernor's office when they arrived at the
capital, although asked to do so, He
refused an invitation to presids~et
the nonpartisan citizens meeting to
be addressed by two visiting gov
ernors of opposite politics, an occasion
unprecedented in the history of the
country. Instead he hurried of to his
home in Eaton the night before, so he
would not even be in the city while
the two visiting governors were in
Columbus. But he was not out of the
state. His snub of Governors Folk
and Hanley was deliberately executed
to curry favor with the liquor forces
| backing the Republican city ticket In
! that campaign. His appearance,
therefore, on the Youngstown plat
form as a great apostle of temper
ance," which is not an issue in the
Ohio campaign, will be as absurd as
his snub of Governors Folk and Han
ley was undignified and indefensible
But the governor must talk about
something at Youngstown, and it was
decided at conference of candidates
on the ticket with him and the Repub
lican committee that he should bang
away at temperance" With them il
is anything to distract attention from
the real issue before the people OF
Ohio this year-graft, bossism, third

officials who say none of your bust

CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE.

When a defendant, hard pressed by
the plaintiff in a case, without deny
ing the averments against him, at
tempts to set up reasons why action
should not be maintained. the plea
in legal parlance is given the term
at the head of this article. This con-
fession and avoidance is Republican
tactics this campaign. They cannot
deny that their boasted prosperity
has been that of the few at the ex-
pense of the many. The recent panic
has knocked the bottom out of their
full dinner-pail argument. They ad-
nit that the country Is now in an evil
state because of tariff and trust en-
croachments. They admit that they
have been in absolute control of all
branches of the government for the
past IL years. They admit that they
haven't done anything much to cor
rect the evils, but Mr.. Taft promises
that they will get busy at once il
given another chance.
They assert, moreover, that they
being the more familiar with govern
mental affairs on the practical side
are the better fitted therefore tC
cope with the evils thus far they
have refused to move against. Mr.
Taft in his speech of acceptance says
the machinery to enforce the laws Ii
not now adequate, and pledges his ef'
forts to secure such legislation. II
making this plea he ignores the fact
! that Roosevelt has for the last foul
years been asking Congress doml
mated by the Republican party fol
such legislation, and that 1t has beer
deaf to his entreaties and enuncia
tions alike.
Declaring that there is nothinl
| wrong about the party's sources o
financial support, and after hootinl
down in convention the proposition
to insure proper publicity in cam
paign funds, the leaders thus oonfes
that they were wrong, and now seel
to gain indulgence by a promise o
publicity that will come, II It docs
after the election, too late to permi

ers in the matter The list of thes
pleas might be drawn out to tn
length of Taft's speech or Roosevelt
messages, but here is enough.

CIVIC COURTESY.

Invitations have been sent To Gov
ernor Hanley, of Indiana, and Governor
Folk, of Missouri, to speak at Ra-
VIENNA and Kent In the county local
option campaign of Portage county.
Folk Is a Democrat and Hanley Is a
Republican, which shows that the
local option contest In that Republican
county is being conducted along non
partisan lines.
According to announcement, Cover
nor Harris is going to make temper
ance" the chief topic of his speech at
youngstown. As a matter OF civic
courtesy when the governor OF another
state comes within the borders OF Ohio
the governor Of Ohio IL not absent
from the state gives an oficial
reception or greeting, especially II the
visiting governor goes to Columbus
Governor Hughes, of New York, is to

START OF STATE HOUSE PROBE

II took nearly two months to obtain
from the state treasurer, Mcklnnon,
a statement of the banks having de-
posits of state funds and the amount
of deposits carried by each. The first
resolution of inquiry was offered in
the House January 13, by Representa-
tive Stockwell. Treasurer McKinnon
did not reply until January 80, and
when he did reply stated only the
total number of repositories and the
aggregate of deposits, refusing to give
detailed list was requested by the
resolution adopted by the House. He
gave as his reason for refusing to com
ply with the resolution that the
treasurer deems it inexpedient and
not to the best interests of the state
or its repositories or applicants for
state deposits, to make such informa-
tion public"
That was the beginning OF the prob
| ing into state house scandals, and it
was brought ON by Mr.. McKinnon's
refusal to answer. Before the facts
could be brought to light, McKinnon
and his deputy had said to investigat-
ing committees of the Legislature that
it's none of your business" where the
states funds are kept. And when the
facts were dragged forth it was found
that, in the list of repositories, de-
posits were kept in McKinnon's own
bank at Ashtabula equal to the banks
capital stock; in Columbus banks In
which McKinnon and his deputy
Charles G. Green, candidate to sue
ceed him, are stockholders; in Gull
bert's bank, in which Guilberts de
putty, e. M. Fullington, candidate tc
succeed him, is a stockholder, and il
Cox's bank.
Thus state officials and their depu
ties who aspire to succeed them, were
profiting as bankers or bank stock
holders by the manner in which they
were handling the state funds. This
accounts for their refusing at first tC
give information, saying it is "non'
of your business" refusing to answel
questions or to produce the records o
some of their transactions.
No wonder the people of Ohio are
ready for a change and want
thorough housecleaning at the Stat
Canitol

SHOES AND FREE HIDES.

Western tanners have Just demand
ed that hides be placed on the free
list. They are now Dingleyized Is
per cent. Some adroit organs seek
to minimize this burden by asserting
that the only hides taxed are those
producing sole leather, the amount
of which in a pair of shoes costs
about a nickel. Then it is jubilantly
noted that shoes made from imported
hides or leather, if exported, have the
duty refunded. Fearing Mr.. Taft
who manifests an habitual tendency
to seize on readyLmade assertions and
always refrains from going into de
TAIL" may be misled by this tariff
error, we cite the basket clause OF
the leather schedule:
Band or betting leather, sole leather
dressed upper and ali other leather
calf skins tanned or dressed, kan
garoo, sheep and goat skins (includ
ing lamb and sheep skins), dressed
and finished, chamois and other skins
and bookbinders' calfskin, all not pro
vided for, 20 per cent
Schools ar opening and the shoe
question becomes as pressing as some
of the educational items solely con
nected with reforms of the curriculum
About everybody wears shoes, and
now in the South a proposal is tC
enact compulsory legislation because
the infection of the hook worIa, which
breeds the laziness disease, can be
obviated by the poorer classes wear
ing shoes. Free hides would furnish
a South American commerce and in
cite ship building, avoid subsidies, fol
such cargoes would prevent American
vessels carrying exports from return
ing empty-bottomed from the Latir
ports.
New England has long asked free
leather, though her shoe manufac
turers at ports of entry can manufac
ture in bond and export with duties
refunded as drawbacks, thus having
an advantage over manufactures IL
the interior. Yet New England Yields
this gain to equity. That group o
farmers who profit at all from taxed
hides expend more than their receipt
in shoes, and the vast multitude en-
dure the 20 per cent burden. Th'
Dingley law protects foreign sho
makers and the beef trust at the ex
pense of domestic industries. Tn
point is the price of domestic shoes
which combines not only the tariff o.
hides, which were free in the Wilson
bill, and that on leather, but anothe
36 per cent ad valorem on the finishe,
shoe, imposed, of course, by the neces
sity OF each succeeding dealer enjoy
ing his separate tax.

AN UNFETrERED PRESS A BOON

Passing strange is the fact that
there are so many people without ex-
perience in the work and with no
knowledge of the ethics of the pro
fession who know all about running a
newspaper, say the Mansfield Shield.
THE butcher, the baker and the
candle-stick maker" are all prolific OF
advice to the editor of newspaper.
Failure to act upon such advice is
productive, as rule (willy nilly) of
direful results. A subscriber is lost
here an another one there. But at
that the paper continues to exist and
pay it's employees their weekly sal
aries.
Strange indeed is the fact that the
newspaper business is one in which
about every fellow en- employe of a
newspaper meets lures him down
some dark alley and tells him what a
mistake the paper has been making
and all of that.
The fellows that do that are invar'
iably gentlemen interested in the vel
fare of the employe, but who have not
been able to work" the employer for
some favor. The situation often be
comes sad in the extreme.
Hopeful suggestions are always wei
come on the part of the management
of a newspaper. Dictation never!
For a newspaper man to go to 6
lawyer and tell him how to conduct q
case in court, or to a baker how to
bake bread or pies or cake, or to G

just as well as the baker the butcher
or the laundrymen know theirs. Th'
newspaper invariably is the servan
of the public. Clean, decent jour
nalism is boon to any community.

abused. The press can always taxi

GOOD PLACE FOR TAFT TO SPEAK

The Democratic committee should
invite Taft to make his anti-hank guar
anty speech at Dresden, Ohio. 1t
would fall on ears which would be
quick to listen. Nearly every man in
all that country would be present. He
would have an audience of bank stock
holders, of depositoTs who would lis
ten to every word. They would be
far from the ordinary crowd in intel
lect, and they would be men of means,
or who once had goodly share of this
worlds goods. They have had ex-
periences. They know that many
stockholders who were innocent OF
wrong. were compelled to lose not only
their stock, but they had to double
up" and pay as much as they had
stock in that bank. They know, too,
that after the stockholders had lost
their original investment as well as
what they paid in the doubling up
process, the innocent depositors got
only about so cents on the dollar.
They know that If there had been a
bank guaranty law, the stockholders,
the innocent depOsltors ana Lhe com
munity generally, would have been
saved from what overwhelmed part
Of them. This could have been done
with a very little expense, and 1t would
have insured them against crooked ON
cials and clerks.
The history OF Dres,len, which town
was entirely wrecked, is only one OF
many bank failures affecting otheI
places. Bryan says that guaranty
law will prevent these calamiiies
Taft says it leads to reckless bank
ing"
II seems that reckless banking" hai
