20. E. Stone" Beats Kentucky

d. E. Stone, eminent forger and

ISIT ANY WONDER?

Pittsburg. Penn. July 17.-Thir-
teen children were one too many
for Michael Laumgic, Pole, living
In Braddock. Yesterday his wife

plunged in. The river is being
dragged for his remains
In the meantime the mother and
child were removed to the Brad

MARMON PROPERTY
APPRAISED At S11OO
Site Desired by Township for
School.

The appraisers appointed by Judge
Fox the first of this week to deter
mine the value of the homestead prop
erty of Mrs. Anna Marmon on the
Henley road have reported the valua-
ton at s1,100, not including the house.
This site is desired by Wayne town
ship for the location of a new school
building. Mrs. Marmon was offered
$1,000 by the township for this prop
erty but she refused the offer. Now
that it has been determined that the
offer made by the township was more
than fair one it is probable that the
property will be condemned unless
Mrs. Marmon consents to accept the
townships offer. She will probably do

WALTER S. RATLIFF,
Nicholson's Views.

Timothy Nicholson this morning af-
ter reading this statement remarked
with sarcastic smile. Think of a
member of the state legislature not
being acquainted with the meaning of
local option"
Mr.. Nicholson was asked why Mr..
Ratliff had been asked as to how he
stood on proposed temperance legis-
aation when a similar query had not
been addressed to A NJ. Gardner. the
republican candidate for joint repre-
sentative from Wayne and Fayette
counties.
Why should Mr.. Gardner be asked
such question:" replied Mr.. Nichol-
son. Two years ago Mr. Ratliff
not have been asked his opinion on
temperance legislation, but since his
record in the last legislature the tenn
perance people of this county demand
that he outline his position before they
support him. The statement he made
this morning is not satisfactory"
Referring to Mr.. Ratliff's declara-
tion which appeaered this morning
that he did not support the $1,000
liquor license bill presented in the last
legislature because but few of his
constituents had approached him on
the matter. and because the temper
ance people were almost to a unit
opposed TO its passage" Mr.. Nichol-
son stated that Mr.. Ratliff had been
asked to support this measure by a
number of Wayne county people.
Mr.. Nicholson also stated that the ma
1ority of temperance people In Wayne
county favored this measure as they
regarded it as most important step
in the campaign to eventually drive all
saloons out of the state
'Will there be an independent candi-
date in the field against Mr.. Ratliffg'
Mr.. Nicholson was asked.
II know nothing about that. al
though / have heard such a report -
he replied. Mr.. Nicholson stated that
he had also heard there would be an
Independent candidate in the feld
against Charles Ladd. republican can
didate for prosecuting attorney. Mr..

Says That He Stands Square
Iy on Republican Platform
Which Calls for County Lo-
cal Option.
HIS STATEMENT NOT
LIKED BY SOME PEOPLE.
Nicholson Holds Legislator Up
To RidicuIe and Tells the
Reason Why Gardner Is Not
Questioned.

Walter S. Ratliff, republican NOM
inee for state representative, stung by
the published report yesterday that
the temperance element Of the repub-
lican party Of this county would place
an independent candidate in the field
against him, broke forth with a state
ment this morning in the local demo
cratic organ, in which statement he
made an attempt to outline his posi-
tion on the temperance question.
For some time past the temperance
advocates of the county have attempt
ed to force Mr.. Ratliff to take some
position, but not until the threat was
made that an independent republican
would be placed in the field against
him, did he decide to show his colors.
The statement made by Mr. Ratliff
follows:
From time to time mention has been
made in the local papers concerning
my attitude toward liquor legislation
and to my position relative to the re-
publican platform. During the last
session of the general assembly l vot-
ed for every temperance measure de-
sired to be passed by the temperance
people Of my county, except the blind
tiger bill, which l conscientiously be-
lieve to be faulty. AS the author of
the bill would not submit to any al
terations and as / believed it would
not exempt liquor used in the arts and
sciences, | voted against it. At the
time of its consideration, l was not
aware that so many drug stores were
selling liquor illegally and violating
the law.
But very few of my constituents in
formed me while in the legislature
that 1t was their wish that the $1,000
> license bill should be passed and the
temperance people were almost to a
unit against its passage.
AS to local option, during my last
canvass l do not remember of having
been asked before the election how |
stood on this subject. but l knew 1t
was an issue. l did not clearly under.
stand the meaning of local option until
explained to me by Mr.. Wilfred Jes-
sup. Before that | believed that the
remonstrance law, not only reached
the township and city wards but could
be extended to the county as a unit
While at the state republican con
Sention held recently at Indianapolis
voted for the adoption of the pres
ent republican platform and heartily
Endorsed it. l have always been a
republican and was nominated on thai
ticket. Further, l am not in favor oi
amending any of the present temper
ance laws that are now found on oul
statutes.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE WASHINGTON c., THURSDAY

Der. Enough Tss7 satisfied the Pres
ident. That gave the bill definite
status. There has not been a zip about
the postal savings bank bill since, and
there won't be before the gavels fall for
adjournment in Senate and House
Again. the President wanted some
legislation to authorize the establish
ment of great forest reserves for the
protection Of navigable rivers-one of
the reserves to be in the heart of the
Appalachian Mountains, another in the
White Mountains. He asked for those
in his special messages several times.
The need of such legislation was en-
phasized when the Governors were con-
vening in the East Room of the White
House, and ere the Governors had de-
parted the Senate took up a revised
and amended bill--revised and amend
ed to avoid constitutional snags which
would have made the legislation futile
and passed that revised and amended
bill. So the Senate had complied once
more with a Presidential request. The
House is still recalcitrant on that par
ticular score. and may SO remain till
the end Of the session, but there is a
chance.
There are a lot more similar doings
which might but need not be enumer-
ated, all going to demonstrate what a
terrible whirl all Washington has been
going thru. 1t has been fierce. indeed
and will give a number of Legislators
something to look back upon after 1t Is
|all over. And ii will soon be. Congress
will HE away, the Capitol will be de-
serted and the President will want to

"GOING SOME. !"
PUBLIC BUSINESS DRIVEN AT A HOT
PACE LAST WEEK.
The President Getting About All He
Wanted-..A Pretty Fair Congress
After AH''-A Possible Adjournment
Next Saturday.

1t almost takes ones breath away
The pace was never before swifter. AL
official Washington is going it at Kill
| ing rate-Congress, the White House
Senators, Representatives, the Presi
dent Things that happened few day'
ago, the conference of Governors, fo
instance, seem to be a month old. Ant
it is straw-hat, neglige-shirt weather
too Whew!
But the end is not yet. Altho legisla
ton, Executive Administration, Guber
Material deliberation, and all such have
been proceeding SO terrifically, there !:
more TO come. The Government is still
shooting the rapids, as it were. 1t vii
be few more days yet before the gooc
ship of state has glided down thru the
last of the foaming water into the quie
June eddies. For Congress is not ex-
pected to adjourn till Saturday. Ma.
%, so the big-wigged Republicans say
"a Pretty Fair Congress"
Many a long day has passed since the
National Capital saw such Congress
sional finale. 1t takes a deep column
in which to place all the items OF
achievement. It's going to be pretty
fair Congress-" the President said the
other day, which is gentle intimatior
that it has not been do-nothing Con-
gives statesmen the headache just now
"Do-nothingi' The Congress will come
nearer doing everything. 1t is doing
about everything the President wants
it to do 1t has gone thru his series OF
special messages, each asking the same
things, and taken up the items one Dy
one, and plunked them thru the legisia-
tive channels. Il has been of late
sort of pneumatic-tube arrangement. by
which the bill Wen. in at one end OF
the Capitol, snapped out at the other
end. and then was showed into another
tube and shot to the White House
where it came out with a loud pop. The
President every day has been putting
his signature to these measures and
grinning with satisfaction.
At the very beginning of the Cover
nors' Conference he stirred things up,
as the country is now well aware, by
announcing that he wanted his Inland
Waterways Commission legaliZed. That
was uttered as a sort of aside to the
speech he had prepared about the con-
servation of the natural resources OF
the country. Myi My, How those
Governors cheered and whooped it up.
If Congress did not legalize the Com
mission, however, he (the Presldent)
would perpetuate it anyway. Then the
Governors and the delegates nearly lift
ed the roof off the White House. But
mark the result, The news was at the
Capitol in a jiffy The sun had hardly
set that day before the proper commit
tees of Senate and House were at work
on a bill to authorize the Inland Water
ways Commission and to provide an ap-
haste to jam that bill thru at double

For all these reasons, and for more
that might be enumerated, the Repub-
1icans are preparing TO make their Ma
tional campaign in the West. Such
considerations have had weight in the
very recent talk about renominating
Vice President Fairbanks. because it has
been claimed that he could hold Indiana
in line. The triumph of the Republic
cans in any one of the three big Middle
Western States, of course, would break
the only possible successful Democratic
