Memorial

AS announced in our issue oi
last week, Mr.. John j. Rodehavel
died at his home in Logan, Thurs.
day morning Jan. The funera
occurred on Friday afternoon from
the M. f. Church, under auspices
of the l. o. o. F. Lodge of which
he was a member. He had not
been long sufferer of paralysis
and patiently awaited the last cal
which came to him peacefully at
the dawn of a new year.
Mr.. John j. Rodehaver was
born near Kingwood, Preston
County, West Va, Nov. 27, 1889,
and died at his home in Logan,
Ohio, Jan. 2, 1908, at the age OF
go years, 1 month and days.
He was married to Mary Conner
IN his native coutry in March
1860. The children given to them
all died in infancy.
He enlisted in thd union army
of the Cival War and was made
Sergeant of Company E. in the
Sixth Regiment of West Va.
Cavalry.
He came to Logan in 1881, and
during the seven or eight years
which he spent in our town he
lived a most honorable and useful
life. To achieyed great success
in business and was very active In
every good work. He was one OF
the most faithful and useful mem
bers this church ever had.

Mr.. TAFT SHOULD have what
might be termed an inherited
memory of the disaster which
overlook his distinguished father
in the Cincinnati convention of
1879. He supposed he had the
nomination for governor "skinned
and nailed to the WALL" but one
Charles Foster showed how differ
ent it was the morning after. So
the Grant third -termers in New
York and Pennsylvania held ma
chine conventions in the unusual
month of February. Mr.. Garfield
was the nominee. SIMILARLY it
will likely happen that Mr.. Taft's
State central committee's summon
ing a March convention and max
ing Garfield chairman of it will
prove fatal. The surveyor of the
situation who thinks Mr.. Foraker
a doomed candidate Is ignorant of
Republicanism In this state.
There Is strong ingredient of
old-time Republicanism in the
party, and Mr.. Foraker represents
it. In ability he sLrpasses Mr..
Taft, and while his attitude on
corporation matters oRends some
late converts to strange Repub-
lican gospel, none will gainsay the
former governors entire integrity.
The artificial character of the Taft
boom seems to gain recognition
among the rank and file, which
will vote at the appointed prima-
ries.

prosperity, are incidents of Re-
publican period.
If the currency system be vi
cious, IL is the same system that
has been permitted to operate dur
ing Mr.. Taft's career. Mr..
Carlisle explained the cause of the
distress in 1893, but the Republi-
can organs would not accept what
was his irrefutable argument. Mr..
Taft thus far has no complaint to
make of Democratic newspapers
trying to intensity the trade
troubles that came in the days of
his chiefs plentitude of power.
Whatever OF tremendous reserve
force the Democracy may possess
in these latter day commercial
occurrences none of it has thus far
been exerted. Political capital
has not been sought during time
for cure and convalescence.
But Governor Hughes, without
word or gesture, silently projects
the bothersome question before the
two wings of his party, whether
the laboring apologist of a panic
stricken administration is more
likely to impress the voters in it's
ranks than statesman unconnect-
ed With it's fads, its indiscreet
haran9ues and its spectacular
noise while engaged In merely
executing the law. This panic is
a Republican one, certainly in date,
and the factions of that party
must determine how much nearer
to it's causes Taft is than Hughes.
The soup houses are theirs.

Mr.. RoosEvELT's very latest per.
formance is the sending to the
committees on military affairs OF
Congress lecture on equinalation,
accompanied by illustrations of
some daring horseback riding exc
cuted by Italian officers. Some
months ago these pictures were
printed in the United States. The
President would like to see an
American lieutenant ride up a
cliff, throw triple somersault
and light in the saddle. That's
war or circus. Opposite the White
House in park is Andrew jack
son in bronze, mounted on horse
reared aloft. The sight must
have become an abscission to the
President. But the horse has can
non balls inside above his hind
legs. 1t would be so much more
beneficial to the people as a whole
if the daily view of jackson would
affect Mr.. Roosevelt along peace
able lines, and the horse be not SO
influential. Americans Won bat
ties before Roagh Riders pranced
onto the stage.

WHEN THE Legislature of Ohio
in 1905 passed the 3 cent passenger
rate bill, the railroad managers
declared it was ruinous and con-
fiscatory. But the Official returns
of all the railroads in the state for
the year ending June 30, 1907, as
figured by the Ohio railroad com
mission, shows Il substantial in.
crease over the proceeding year.
This increase is due to the elimina-
tion Of free passes and excursion
rates and the natural growth of
passenger traffic. The result in
state of Ohio, however, is not
fair criterion for some other states,
because it is traversed by inter
state railroads from east to west
which must increase the returns
for passenger traffic. 1t is also a
more densely populated state than
many others, ranking higher than
New York or Pennsylvania per-
haps with it's well-to-do farming
population,
1t would seem that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission could |
figure out the cost per mile for
passenger traffic which could be
used as standard for fixing the
rates in each state as the Ohio
commission has done for that
state. Fairness demands that the
railroads shall be allowed to
charge reasonable rates that will
provide fair interest upon the
actual money invested, but no re-
turn on watered stock must be ex-
pected.

town the Democrats recalled the
cartwheel dollars that some of the
local financiers used for an
argument against silver in 1896,
and begged the privilege of borrow
ing these dollars in the absence
of ordinary currency.
Democrats can do their duty as
citizens by counseling courage and
patience and by suggesting
remedies that will furnish pro-
lection in the future and yet they
can enjoy the fact that the present
panic has exploded one Of the
most potent arguments that the
Republicans have enjoyed name

Democratic administration is
necessarily breeder of panics.

many. Exit this choice bit of

Columbus, Ohio, January g.

decided to become candidate for
the Republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor. Following
the custom, his boom was launched
in his county paper and the Judge
Is now in the open. He stood for
nomination in 1908 and made a
very creditable showing. Those
were the days of states and he did
not have the luck to get on the
right one.
The most formidable opponents
he has just now are Francis Tread

oran +. Hypes, of Springfield.
There is some talk that former
Congressman Martin L. Smyser,
OF Wooster, may be induced to
enter the contest. Former Senator
Benjamin F. Writ, of Youngstown,
is also running this year as the

THE DEMOCRATS in Congress will
do well during the present session
to thoroughly discuss the subject
of a proper revision of the tariff.
The Republican majority will not
agree to the enactment of any i'm
portant legislation on the subject
until after the presidential cleo
tion, but the question should be
made a leading issue in the COM
ing campaign. A large number
of Republicans are already con-
vinced that the present tariff
duties are much too high, and
their ranks are being constantly
increased. Further than that,
they are beginning to perceive
that many of the evils from which
the country is now suffering can
be traced to the trusts and mono
poles tostered by the existing
tariff.
1t should be the province of the
Democratic m embers to make clear
to the people the need of a proper
tariff revision. This REVISION can
not be intrusted to the hands of
the standpatters, who would make
but slight and Insignificant
changes where large and important
ones are needed. A stsndpat ma
jorlty in the next Congress would
pay but slight attention to the re-
port of tariff commission, the
creation of which is now being
advocated. Many years ago
there was a tariff commission
whose report was ignored by Con-
gress,u which actually in creased
duties when the commissi IN
decrease.
If we are to have another tariff
commission it will be vitally i'm
portant that it should report to
Congress which will be disposed
to adopt such recommendations
as it may make for the reduction
and revision of the tariff. 1t is
therefore necessary that the peo-
pie of the country shall be pre-
pared to elect such a Congress
next year. To that end they will
need to be educated, and the
Democratic members of the present
Congress should do their full part
in supplying the requisite instruc-

A Metaphor With a History.

To "know hawk from hernshaw"
Is metaphor with curious history.
1t is comparison drawn from falcon
ry. "Hernshaw" Is corruption OF
''heronshaw," or young heron, bird
which was common prey Of the fal-
cons. To know hawk from a hern
shaw is therefore to be able to distin-
guish the falcon from its prey. A fur
ther colloquial corruption crept into
the phrase. ITO know a hawk from
handsaw," form used by Hamlet in
one place. Possibly the distinction be-
tween a hawk and hernshaw was
purposes of the proverb.- Manchester
