Franklin Township High School
Dedicated.

On Saturday, January II, 1908,
the new Franklin Township High
School building was formally
dedicated. The movable parti-
tiOn separating the two main
rooms was raised, making an
audience room 30X56 feet, which,
with the recitation room, was
we'll filled with patrons, teachers
and pupils of the township and
nearby townships and towns.
Principal J. D. Crowel filled the
place of chairman in a creditable
manner. Supt. Minor McCool
gave the address of welcome.
He spoke of the value of a good
education and the usefulness of
a knowledge of the branches in
cluded in the High School course
of study. He extended a cordial
invita- ton to the patrons of the
township to visit its High School.
Forest Croft, a High School
pupil, gave an excellent address
of appreciation in behalf of his
fellow pupils. He hoped that the
school so kindly provided by the
patrons of the township would
some day enable them to mani
fest their appreciation in a more
remunerative manner than a
mere Thank you."
Prof. A. B. Graham, Supt. of
the Agricultural Extension De-
partment of the Ohio State Uni
versity at Columbus, O., was the
leading speaker. He gave a very
interesting history of the educa-
tional development of Ohio from |
the time Of her admission as a |
state up to the present time. It |
was a sort of statistical report |
arranged in periods of about |
twenty-five years each, and the
standard of each period being
raised higher than that of the
preceding period, according to
the demand of the times. In
of the past twenty-five
years he gave a record of the es-
tablishment of many township
High Schools throughout the
state and the most excellent work
they are doing. He gave some
very helpful suggestions to the
High School pupils and recon-
rural life as being pref
arable to city life.

more is asked by Taft men anywhere.
In the custody Of the Republicans

placed the honor of the state. The
loss of one district, with its two dele

break in the states line. through

rected. That can be the only definite
result OF any Taft opposition at home.
When II is admitted that Taft is the
only Ohio candidate with a chance for
nomination, there can be but two mo-
tives behind any fight against him.
The first is to split the state delega-
tion to appease the malice of some in,
dividual, or secure personal revenge
to some dissatisfied one. The second
is to secure delegates for use in trad

candidate from some other state. who

which beset the country will be
undertaken in earnest. Whetb-

short one it is impossible at this

Just why Senators Foraker
and Dick maintain that the meth
DDS prescribed for the choice of
delegates to the State cOnven-
ton in February are unfair or
onerouS, it is difficult to under
stand. We can see nothing un-
reasonable in committing the
choice of delagetes directly to the
voters. 1t is only as recently as
last fall that Senator Foraker
complained, at the time the Re-
publican State Committee met
and put Secretary Taft forward
for the presidential nomination
as the choice of the party in
Ohio, that the committee had no
authority to speak in advance
for voters who had not had the
opportunity to express their pref
erences. He it was who de-
manded suspension of judg-
ment until a direct test of SEN
timent could be had and asked
that popular vote should desig-
nate the members of the State
convention to select four dele
gates-at-large to the Republican
National Convention. This sug-
gestion was entirely agreeable to
the friends of Secretary Taft,
and it has been decided to apply
the provisions of the new prima-
ry election law, and to submit di-
rectly to the voters the choice of
State convention delegates. Sem
ator Foraker has seemed in earn

ent and which they profess to

Certainly the Republicans are
doing all in their power to
remedy industrial conditions.
The bill to relieve all future en-
barrassment in financial circles,

fact. 1t is to this senator that

ALONE IN EXPERIENCE AND
TRAINING.

No other man now considered as a
presidential possibility, in either par.
ty, has anything like the combined
gifts and experience and training with
which Mr.. Taft is equipped. He has
no rivals for the Republican nomina-
tion except in those states that have
"favorite sons" Aside from these
nvalries, he has no opposition in his
party except such as he has aroused
by standing by President Roosevelt.
This opposition, fer purely selfish and
utterly unpatriotic reasons, wants the
work of the Roosevelt administration
undone, not continued.-Kansas City

Complain That a Hardship is Be-
ing Worked on Them
BY Assessor.
UNDER THE NEW LICENSE LAW
They Object TO Being Compelled to
Pay Heavy Tax Into the De-
pictcd City Treasury.

The city auditors office. in which is
now found the assessor OF licenses, has
been beset with the keepers OF lodging
and boarding house keepers complain
Ing that hardship Is being worked on
them under the new license law
Heretofore, for some time past. the
keepers OF boarding and lodging hous-
es subject to license have paid as re-
quired by license ordinances $50 yearly
for plnces where 20 or fewer rooms are
let for lodging or where 20 or fewer
persons are boarded In cases where
more than 20 PERSONS are provided for,
the places are subject to Incense as for
hotels This provision has been on
the citys ordinance books for many
years, and the new law has not amend
cd the section relating to such places.
The section referring to licenses re-
quired OF boarding house keepers re-
quires sworn statement regarding
the number of rooms let or persons
boarded and the license to be paid is
to be based upon such statement from
the Keepers. Heretofore, the strict
compliance with this requirement has
been lacking. There is no record 10
show that these statements have been
exacted and the collection of licenses
regulated in accordance with them.
However the requirement was made
by the ordinance.
NEW BRooMS SWEEP CLEAN
Nos, the new license assessor. with
the diligence that is usually manifested
by recruit In officialdom, has scanned
the ordinances relating to his depart
ment and has started out by complying
to the letter with the provisions OF tho
ordinance. He has required applicants
for new licenses and for renewals to
make the sworn statement required and
in consequence the keepers of board
ing houses, who formerly paid only
$40 per year, have found that with
20 or more rooms or DoarderS
they are required to pay the
licenses required OF hotels.
Some boarding and lodging house
keepers who have heretofore escaped
with a $50 license. find themselves
compelled TO pay the rates charged
hotels, which Is s25 for hotels OF 20
rooms or less, $50 for so rooms or more
than %. 500 for so to rs rooms, slbO
for 75 to 100 rooms and for more than
100 rooms. 5000.
The assessor declares that the new
ordinance In no way affects the
keepers of boarding or loding houses.
as the section of the ordinances re-
speeding them has not been amended,
but that he is only enforcing an old
ordinance which has heretofore been
somewhat neglected.
