We like to work and we like tC
see others work, bat we just arise
to remark that when we get to be
worth as much money as some we
know, work with us will cease. We
could never discover why men sixty
and seventy years of age and worth
from forty to one hundred thousand
dollars should continue to toll, from
early until late and in all kinds of
weather. We like to see a man pro-
vide something for their family after
they are gone, but the average boy
is better off if not left to much prop
erty. You who have labored your
three score years should stop work,
and enjoy life the few short years
you have left to remain with us.

ANOTHER sample Of the farcial
system of drawing jurors by a COM
mission, is displayed by the lists of
the jurors drawn last week by the
jury commissioners for the United
States Court at Wilmington. In
the list the name of David Refs, of
Milford, appears as one of the good
and true men selected for jury duty.
Mr.. Refs has been dead five years,
and it is safe to say, that the jury
box OF the United States Court at
Wilmington, if the facts as shown
by recent drawings of juries, may be
taken as a criterion, have not been
changed for twelve years or more.
The system is a failure in fact as
well as theory.

NEW YORK. N. Y, January 21.-
Evelyn resumed the stand at 1875
8stlis morning, smiling at Harry as she
settled herself in the chair to resume
het testimony. Evelyn said she lived

that she was out with White numer-
Gus time after telling Thaw Of the
/ Madison Square tower episode.
4, Evelyn said Harry denied he was a
morphine fend and pointed out that
she had never seen him with any hy-
podermic. She said she lived at the
Grand Hotel with Harry under her
own name. She said Harry carried a
revolver from 1908 until White was
killed.
4 hitherto unknown feature of the
Thaw case was revealed when Evelyn
said lon the witness stand that Harry
had sought her consent to a suicide
{ pact while the pair were at Monte Car
10 in 1904. She diverted him from
such intention, but while she was out
Of the room the prisoner swallowed

ed from the main office of the Toledo
Massillon Bridge Company to go on
with the work and it is likely that
new trestles will be laid within the
next ten days.
People are waking up to the fact
that when the new bridge is completed
it would be wise thing to have the
water mains laid across the structure
and thus avoid much of the trouble
experienced with the mains under the
water. Council will be urged to have
the mains cross the bridge.

Taft Club
Is Growing
ORIGIN, THOUGH SPONTANEOUS,
WAS MOVE TO ENCOURAGE
THE COMMITTEE.

PARKERSBURG, Jan. 81. = That
sentiment in Wood county is over
whelmingly for Taft for the Presi-
dency among the Republican voters
and candidates is being evidenced ev-
cry day.
The Taft Republican club, which
was formally organized last Friday
evening at a spontaneous meeting at
The Chancellor, is growing at rapid
rate. and the indications are that the
intended end will bereached-a actu-
al membership of one thousand voters.
According to President Bentley the
spontaneous movement had a two-fold
purpose. While primarily the meet
ing was held and the organization
formed as representing real senti-
ment here, which 1t was desired should
be expressed that its influence might
extend to other quarters, a secondary
purpose was encourage the Republican
State committee in session at that very
time in The Chancellor to do what
the members had 1t in their heart to
do. ]
Local Republicans knew that from
certain quarters every influence was
being brought to bear to prevent the
endorsement of Secretary Taft and
that such action, II 1t were taken.
would be taken in the face of protest
of the chairman and the United States
senators.
They thought that by showing the
committee members that public senti-
ment backed the committees inclina-
tions would encourage them in going
counter to these influences, which at
least would let them express their In
dividual preference. This the mem
'bers OF the committee did, and in no
uncertain terms.
There has been much comment here
and elsewhere over the action, and
