Legislature Charges Bills and Calls II
"Unauthorized Deficiency"

"Onauthorized Denclency."
Here is a sample Of the "unauthor-
lied deficiency" the Democratic cam
paign committee is charging against
the Republican state officers:
Three years ago the adjutant gen
erai, under whose charge is the state
house, thought the interests OF econ
omy might be served by placing the
senate and the house of representa-
tives each on its own electric light
and gas meter, so that each house
would know what 1t was using and
pay the bills out CT It's own contingent
fund. Bills we're rendered to each
house and payment was refused. The
bills were then sent to the adjutant
general lac presented them to the
finance committees, with the result
that they were placed in a bill anu
charged to the adjutant generals de.
partment as unauthorized defici-
ency"
The criticism being made against
two or three Of the state offices where
unauthorized deficiencies" have been
charged against them, is just as rea-
sonable as the instance of the legisla-
tures gas bills.
Several years ago a member OF the
o. N. G. from Cleveland was acciden.
tally wounded Through a member OF
the Cuyahoga county delegation in
the legislature last winter a bill for
his relief was presented to the gen.
eral assembly. After an investigation
there was placed in this bill an ap-
preparation to pay a bill for nursing,
doctors bill aud hospital bill, all
amounting to $500. No legal pro-
vision had been made covering the
contingency Of nursing and hospital
and doctors bills. II there was an
obligation Of any kind, II was a moral
obligation on the state TO pay these
claims. They were paid, however,
and the amount was credited against
the adjutant generals department as
an unauthorized deficiency"
II has be en- the custom Of the lesis-
lature for years to pay bills Of vari-
GUS kinds under head Of "unauthor
lied deficiency bills" where the ex.
penditures we're specifically author
lied by law but for which no appro-
priations were made. State officers
keep strictly under the law that gov
erns expenditures, but their funds
are frequo ltly pared by the general
assembly 10 such an extent that the
appropriations are insufficient to meet
the fixed { larges Of the Offices. They
object to having these deficiencies
called "un uthorized" when every au-
thority ful Y legalizes them. Strictly,
they should fall under the heading of
"Sundry Claims"

In his speech at the Cincinnati
Democratic club outing Chairman
William l.. Finley of the Democratic
state executive committee declared
that the Republican party was hope
lessly divided, and the Democratic
party in Ohio never before had the
opportunity to win that they have this
year. And then he hastily added,
That is, II the Republicans at the
last minute don't get together and
play some trick, as they have been
in the habit of doing"
The some trick" that William L.
had in mind is no doubt the cheerful
habit of many years standing that
Ohio Republicans have Of getting to
gether at the ballot box on election
day and voting straight state and ma
tional tickets. Those little quarrels
and troubles among themselves only
whet their appetites to get at the enc
my; hence It is that before election
day they bury all differences and unit
edly soak" the Democratic party at
the ballot box.
Al this same outing Judson Har-
mon, the Democratic candidate for
governor, in an address, gave some
intimation of the character OF cam
paign he will make. He declared that
II he was elected governor he would
stand for cleaner municipal govern
nonts; that he would demand n judi
eiary free from political entangle-
msnts, and an honest and fearless
state government
Such utterances are good Republi
Can doctrine. The state Offices are
filled At present with Republican OFF,
eials who have been doing in their
various capacities the things that Mr.
Harmon SAYS he would demand II he
were elected governor. Therefore,
Harmon's campaign slogan will arouse
no more commotion or enthusiasm

But would the Democratic standard
bearer carry out the above mention
ed campaign pledge, oven II he meant
Il? How could a governor who was
elected by the votes Of the liquor in
terests-whose very candidacy had
been fostercd and nurtured By them
be able to bring about cleaner mu.
nicipal government" Rather. In the
very nature of things, he would be
fettered, hand-tied. controlled, bossed
and dictated to by the liquor interests.
His position as governor would be
vastly different from that OF Andrew
l.. Harris. The latter, besides having
profited by the experience of three
years In office, and having been re-
elected without the aid of the liquor
interests and liquor money, would owe
this element nothing whatever. Har.
ris has been tried and not found
wanting. For two years as governor
and through long. useful and clean
life he has been advocating and doing
Just the things Harmon says he will
demand II he is elected governor.
Governor Harris as chief executive
is a sure thing; Mr.. Harmon would
be an experiment.

 After the baroness departure the prince became very gloomy, and his sad state of mind was not enlivened when a salesman brought a gay French doll-a circus rider-and placed her beside him. She nodded to him the moment she was put in the case, and began to chatter in her excitable French. which the Prince could not understand Indeed the con- trast between this giddy circus-ridlng girl doll and the demure and sweet-faced Baroness Martha was 30 marked that at times Prince William became so desper- ate over his loss that he was tempted to leap out through the show case, breaking the glass with his shining sword. But. being simply a doll, he had to restrain his mad impulse. However. he scowled and looked black at the gay French cir GUS rider till she was glad enough to turn her attention to brlght-faced Japanese doll at the other side of the show case.
 Thus the prince. in his gloomy state, was left to his own sad thoughts. And so he was glad when the following day he was taken from the case to help fill an order of his own make, the house being short of German dolls.

 most happy home. loving and @@ helpful mother and father who tried in every way to make Teddy not only happy, but good. To be good was the first lesson his dear mother taught him. And being good would naturally make him happy.
 If Teddy saw poor abused cat on the street he stopped his play to run to 1t and to take It tenderly in his arms and carry 1t home, where his mother would care for 1t until it became beautiful, glossy-coated creature. Then Teddy would give it to some girl or boy whom he knew would treat It kindly. And in re- gard to poor half-staryed dogs he was just as thoughtful.
 But it was not always stray. half starved and abused cats and dogs that enlisted Teddy's sympathies. The chil- dren of the poor touched him deeply, for he understood, las few boys of good homes and plenty cnh understand their many needs and disappontments. And he was never slow in dividing his noon luncheon at school with some little chap whose lunch consisted of a scrnp of dry bread, and whose ragged clothes betrayed hls poverty.
 The week before Christmas Teddy's mother called him to her one evening. saying: Now, dear. the Christmas time Is almost here, and we mustn't forget the poor children 1 want you to gather up all your old toys and select the best unbioken ones. l shall have them re- painted at the toy-mender's shop down the street. Then we'll haye them in readiness to give to the poor children of our Sunday school'
 Yes, Mamma," said Teddy, smiling f the thought of doing so much for inc poor children. And as he was leaving his mothers room she kissed him, saving : Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
 That evening after supper, as Teddy sat beside the library grate preparing his lessons for the morrow, the words Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" ran through his mind. Nor could he drive them away. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you would gleam from the page Of his geography when he was intently searching for some chain of European mountains or Canadian river.
 He put his book down and went up stairs to his own room. He shut and locked the door,. Then be went to Il pile of toys that filtered the floor in tue corner. He had, in response to his moth- CTS request, gathered together all the unbroken toys that had been accumulat- ing in his room for three years. Those of previous years had been broken to pieces long, long time ago. He care fully looked over the strange assortment, which an hour before supper had appeared so fine to him--tine for the poor ohil- dren. But why shouldn't they have new toys instead of old ones which had been cast off by other children? This was the stumbling block that Teddy was try ing to climb over.

 Say, that is the finest doll I ever sswl' acclaimed the German Max, reach ing out his hand for the man-dol in question. "Achl Just like his majesty, the Kaiser. See the moustache.

R was Christmas time, just the most
 joyous time of all the year for dolls 0 For throughout the summer these poor china, wax, blsque and kid beings are tucked away In boxes, on shelves and in drawers, to be brought forth just before Christmas that they may be put on sale, thus finding homes for themselves In diff ferent towns and cities of many, many countries and states.
 In great wholesale toy house, in the city of New York, hundreds of boxes and crates were being opened two weeks be- fore Christmas. There were boxes from France, containing French dolls and toys; boxes from Italy, containing Italian dolls and toys; there were boxes from China, containing Chinese dolls and toys; and there were many, many boxes from Ger many, mostly filled with dolls, for from Germany comes the greatest variety of dolls that one can imagine.
 The men who opened the boxes often stopped to examine some beautiful doll or toy of quaint design, and then con- versation would ensue about them. As one round-faced, jolly German drew forth fine Gerpan lady-doll, he held her up. exclaiming:, Here is a real lady! Look at herl She looks for all the world like a fine baroness I once saw when l was In the fatherland. The baroness name was Martha, and this doll is her exact image. Achl I hope some little girl that loves beautiful things will get this Bar oness Martha for Christmas gift

At first the baroness was a bit shy, and the prince had to ap- proach her with the greatest ceremony ing: "As I hail from the same country that you come from and from the very same factory, I daresay, 1t may add to the pleasure of both to become acquaint- cd. My name is Prince William (Ths sly fellow had remembered the conversa- ton between the two box-openers In the shipping room and liked the name and title they had given hlm). And believe you are Baroness Martha
 The pretty lady doll nodded her head, for, like the prince she had been an d. tentive listener to the conversation car ried on about herself in the shipping room and honestly believed her name and title to be Baroness Martha. So she nod ded. Then she smiled a wee bit of smile, but did not dare to speak to the line fellow rt her side till the following day.
 But 1t was very stormy day and few buyers were In the show room, conse- quently the time dragged heavily, and the shy little baroness was glad to chat awhile with the elegant hammered prince at her side. They talked first about the weather-as all people do when getting acquainted; then they spoke tenderly Of Germany; of the factory where they were created, which was in a little toy-making village on the outskirts of the Black For est An, how dear to recall that time and placeI The hearts of both warmed as they conversed about that which was so dear to them.
 But towards the afternoon buyer came to the show case and looked the prince md the baroness over II like that pair of dolls," he said. I'll take dozen of each"
 Then he went of down the room with the salesman. But after a while the salesman returned to the case opened It and took out Baroness Martha. In an swer to an inquiry from another sales man he explained: Were short one doll of this make in the stock room. One of the last dozen got broken, 80 I'll have to rob the case. Will you select something nice to put in her placer"
 An, alack aday! The prince felt his heart drop at thought of the separation. The baroness felt tears coming into her eyes. She had grown to trust the noble doll at her side. and felt that life with out his companionship would be most un. happy indeed. But what could either of them dol They simply had to be taken anywhere, sold to anyone who might want them. They had no voice in the matter.
 And so Baroness Martha was carried sway from tho wholesale stors to pretty

 But his mother could not touch the boxes, she was so overcome with deep emotion. With her handkerchief to her eyes she stopped over Teddy, whispering tenderly in his ear: Bless you, child.
