itin the hope that at some future
time, the fact that the laws are not
being properly enforced will prove
good political thunder for him is not
worthy of support when the time
comes for him to ask preference at
the hands of the people. The mere
fact that he has the information and
refuses to give the officers Of the law
his assistance in bringing violators to
justice is sufficient reason for him
being turned down when he shall
come before the people.
The people have decrecd that Ma
rion shall be "dry." Now is time for
every law abiding citizen to show his
hand and prove whether or not he is
in favor of those things which he has
been preaching.

WHY NOT THE OTHERS

The people of the country are just
now rejoicing over the conviction and
sentencing of Banker Morse. Morse
overstepped the boundary line and
threw himself liable to criminal pros
ecution for having falsifed the rec
ords of the bank in which he was
interested. But while rejoicing over
the fact that another rascal has been
brought TO justice and will be made
TO pay the penalty for his misdeeds,
1t would be we'll to reflect upon the
hundreds of other men who have been
guilty of just as gross violations of
the federal statutes and have been
given a clean bill of health, so far
as criminal proceedings are con-
cerned. Trust men, in many If not
all of the trusts, have been violating
the federal statutes in the matter Of
rebates and not one of them has ev-
er been brought to trial in the Grim
inal courts. One of the greatest of
these was in the presidents cabinet
when 1t was pointed out that he was
a violator of the rebate laws, yet he
was gwen an opportuny to get out Of
the cabinet and into lucrative posi-
ton of trust before anything was
said about it and the threatening
proceeding against him was throttled.
while rejoicing over the conviction
Of Morse, 1t would be well to reflect
upon the others and to realize at
the same time that there are others
who are probably just as guilty as he,
but who are being allowed to prose-
cute their work without molestation.

GREAT BRITAIN
Is OUT DONE
New Battleship, North Da.
kota will be the Greatest
4, Fighting Craft.

Washington, Nov. 9.-jWhen the
battleship North Dakota is easel
down the ways next Tuesday at
Quincy, Mass, the United States will
have afloat the greatest fighting ship
the world has ever known.
This American Dreadnought will be
bigger and swifter and deadlier than
the British vessel that inspired her
construction and will be an improve
ment on that vessel by so many fea-
lures of Yankee ingenuity that there
will be no comparison. In nothing
that Great Britain Is building are
the many advantages OF the American
ship utilized and her virtues are fore
shadowed in the craft of the immed-
late future only in those vessels that
Brazil Is having made in England
under contract.
The great ship will be two city
blocks in length and of bulk equal to
four story building, with a depth
of eighty-fve feet 1t will have a
population of nearly 1000, or as
many people as live In many a coun-
ty seat. II stood on end 1t would be
of the same height as the Washing
ton monument and nearly twice that
Of the New York Flatiron building
The power of its engines will be
equal to that of 25,OO0 horses, or a
string of them forty miles long. SO
great is the weight of the vessel
that should it run down a ferryboat
in a fog, 1t would hardly create
perceptible jar on the great craft.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Citizens may differ on the temper
ance question and on the probable et-
ficiency of the local option law as
temperance measure. They may dii-
fer upon the question of personal l.b-
erty and all kindred subjects con
nected with the temperance move
ment as it is manifesting itself in
Ohio this fall, but there should be
no division upon the question which IS
now before the people of those coun-
ties which have registered their We
dict against the open saloon. Marion
is one Of these and the question is
just now confronting the people OF
this city. This IS the problem Of
law observance.
Everyone will agree that curtailing
the sale Of liquors in dry territory
is one the biggest tasks with which
the officers of the city and county are
confronted. An instance of this was
furnished Sunday when an alleged
trafficker in intoxicating liquors was
apprehended by the police. The city
and county, in the recent election
declared most emphatically against
the legal sale of all intoxicants with
in the boundaries of the county, but
surely all will concede that the sale
of the stuff legally is preferable to its
being dispensed Illegally, by men
who are in no way responsible and
against whom no hold can be secured
other than in a criminal way.
There has been a disposition uron
the part of some citizens to discover
violations of the laws upon the part
of the saloon people, while they were
in business and to publish this fact
pointing out the great derelictlon
upon the part of the officers in not
putting a stop to the practices. This
is past and comment upon the justice
or injustice Of the position is use
less. The time for finding fault with
officers Is past. II now becomes the
duty OF every person, whether he
has been aligned with the "wets" or
with the 'drys" TO stop all pickering
and criticism and lend his efforts to
securing full and complete enforce
ment OF the laws, governing the sale
OF liquors. Parading the streets and
telling all who will stop to listen
that so and so Is doing bootlegging
business will not enforce the laws or
assist the proper officers in enfor'ing
them. The man who has the infor-
nation should go before the proper
officers and secure the arrest of the
man accused of bootlegging and then
lend every assistance in bringing the
guilty man to justice.
This Is no time 10 seek TO make
political capital out of the reports
which are likely to be circulated
Political axes are not In need of
grinding just now and the man who
possesses information and publishes

terness of defeat for Foraker II he
could also defeat the senatorial as

Arthur l. Vorys, Harry Daugherty
and Wade H. Ellis. Apparently the
senators do not take the candidacy OF
Gen. Charles A. Grosvenor any more
seriously than do the Columbus pol

The senatorial plan to elect Gov.
Harris frankly ignores his recent
statement that he is not candidate,
that he does not want to come to
Washington but fully intends to re-
turn to his farm. 1t does take
frankly into account the advanced
age OF Governor Harris.

DIET FOR WORKING GIRLS.

Headaches, poor complexion, nerves
irritable temper, dependency and
other ailments of real character are
complaints of the working girl lead
Ing sedentary life. The seamstress
has pains through the small of the
back, the typewritist has shoulder
blade pains, eye strain and cramps
in the hands. The one who must
stand too long at her work suffers
with pains in the back and limbs.
But women can endure far more II
they eat properly. II is estimated
that 80 per cent Of the working girls
eat Ice cream and sandwiches for
their luncheon, and the ham cooked
for sandwiches is never wholly done,
because to cook II thoroughly done II
cannot be cut into thin slices ana
will fall apart. No working woman
unless she is washing, scrubbing or
doing hard physical labor, should eat
meat three times a day. 1t takes all
the strength of the human body to
aid digestion. Coffee drinkers are
estimated by the millions, yet a con-
scientious doctor will look at a pale
faced girl, on her last nerve and
third cup of coffee and think; II
would rather see you take a pony
OF whisky to one cup of coffee" But
he is lenient and says: Leave out
coffee for evening dinner, then when
you are convinced you can leave it
alone, do not take It at luncheon
and gradually decrease II at break
fast until you can do without 1t en-
tirely. Do not expect TO conquer the
habit without much determination
nor expect results in one week or one
month" Exercise Is as esssntial as
the food one eats, and, unless a girl
or woman takes some exercise, d.
gestion is retarded, and this, means
almost complete lassitude, during
working hours, Do not begin a SER

tired and weak. A beginner should
start with exercises that will take but
five minutes day. then tepa fifteen
and lastly one-half hour? 1t will1take
seven weeks before the beginner can
exercise the unused muscles without
suffering some discomfort unless il is
gradual. Before breakfast drink a
cup of water. No girl would think
of going to work without washing her
face and hands, yet not one in fifty
thinks Of the stomach or the needful
glass of water. Take another glass
of water just before retiring. And
about candy eating. Sweets are es-
sential for energy, but not great
amount of sweets for the working
girl. The athlete can eat pound OF
candy without injury to himself; a
whole days headache for the aver
age working girl. Candy is converted
into an acid as soon as It enters the
stomach, and too much acid leads to
an attack Of bilious headache. II Is
a great trial and a great privation to
adhere TO just these few simple rules,
