o. 7. coRsoN ON GOVERNOR
HARRIS.

The citizens of Preble county
celebrated July 1908, a home
coming and centennial One of
the orators of the day was for
mer State School Commissioners
o. T. Corson. In the course of
, his address he spoke of Cover
nor Harris as the most distin-
guished son Of the county and !
reviewed his civil war record. I
He concluded with this appre- I
citation:
First in the bloody battle of Z
} Mcdowell, West Virginia, and !
again in the attack of the Louisi- I
( ana Tigers at Gettysburg, Col !
! onel Harris was severely wound I
I ed, but Notwithstanding this, he
) served the Union with unex-
celled fidelity and courage till
! the close of the war, when he
was mustered out of the service
) as colonel of the Seventy-fifth
Ohio and later on brevetted
D brigadier general for gallant
conduct on the field of battle.
, THE same courage and fidel-
ity to duty which characterized
. Colonel Harris, through the four
years of war, have constantly
manifested themselves in his
life, both as private citizen
Z and as a public Official, in the
years of peace. He always rings
true because he Is true.
) "Out from a home life which
4 he loves and whose simplicity.
) purity, and beauty can be fully
Z appreciated only by the compar-
: itively few who have been fav-
\ ored with an occasional glimpse
2 of it, he has often been called to
4 serve his county and state in the
. most important offices of trust,
4 until today he is our honored
2 governor.
: ain each and every inst-nce he
Z has proven himself worthy of the
3 highest confidence. It is not sim
& ply loyalty to my home county
! nor personal ndship, but
z sense of justice that leads me to
say that, In an intelligent con-
4 ception Of the important prob
= lens to be considered, in faith
Z fuI devotion to the right as he
= sees it, in a courageous perform
4 ance Of duty as it appeals to
Z him, in sincerity Of purpose, and
< honesty of execution, ohio has
Z never had a chief executive su-
perior to Governor Andrew l.
. Harris"
/ Il make this assertion to you,
2 his lifelong friends and neigh
( bors, Democrats and Republi-
Z cans, in no spirit of partisanship,
! but as a just tribute to an hon
2 est, manly man who has done
: his duty.
Z THAT this tribute can be made
! to such an audience as this and
Z received in the same spirit in
} which it is spoken, is not only
Z high compliment to Governor
= Harris, but also a gratifying in.
Z dication of the rapid progress
made in our citizenship in the
I past century"

PEOPLES CAMPAIGN.
Portsmouth Daily Times In Full Sym
pathy With Tax Reform
Movement.

All over the United States there are
promotion societies of various kinds,
seeking chimer.cal legis !ation of vari-
Gus sorts. which makes it refreshing
to hear from one that has a plain
sensible sort of proposition to present
and advocate.
This body is the Ohio State Board
Of Commerce, and ii has set out to
organize county branches in move
meut it styles The PeOI les Cam
paign" to secure the approval of three
constitutional amendments to be
voted On this fan. The first OF these
is to permit the lassage Of bill over
the governors veto by two-thirds
vote OF the members-elect OF the leg
islature; the second to fix the conven
ing CT the legislature in the January
first following its election; the third,
to classify lie subjects OF taxation In
order to secure a just return from
each.
Thus it presents measures that are
each proper and vital. Under the
present law the legislatures meet
after election in the even numbered
years, which means the representa-
tives and senators to be chosen this
fall will not assemble until 1910, un-
less they be convened by tle governor
in extraordinary session prior to that
time. 1t will be necessary for this
sort of a session in January, 1893
since a United StIteS senator has to
be elected then to fiji the vacancy Gre
ated by the eXpi.ai n Of j. B. For,
aker's term. Under any cream
stances it is stupid piece CT bust,
ness to postpone tie assamb.age of y
tion, for its selection often turns On
issues that should receive its early
attention.
The veto power Of t. governor of
Ohio was given the position only four
years ago and its grant was loosely
guarded. The usual rule of requiring
two-thirds rule to overthrow it was
disregarded. and We have the Surpris
ing and indefonsibe plan of the con
stitution requiring vetoed bill to re
cciVe not less than it received on its
first rassing to carry it over the gov
ernor's head In other words, if q
measure passed both branches unan
imously on its original pas age and
it came Lack on veto, and eve'y mem
Der except one supported it on recon
sideration. it would be lost.
Among those who give taxation
much study there is but one voice in
claiming tnat under the methods eX
listing millions of assets as represent
| ed by values can not be listed, ant
thus they do not bear their proportion
of the public burdens. No one will
have the hardihood to deny that sucl
inequality and injustice should bC
corrected.
1t must be borne in mind, however
| that in order to carry a constitutional
amendment it is necessary that it bC
| given a majority of the votes cast a
the election to which it is submitted
All votes not cast for an amendmen
are counted against 1t and if the eleC
tor favors any of these he must vot,
affirmatively if he desires to have an.
part in engrafting them on the consti
tuition. Portsmouth (O.) Daily Times

candidate for a second term, is farm
er, a veteran soldier, a Mckinley con-
fidante, a temperance man, a Method,

tact and progressiveness of a model
executive. Yet some Democrats talk
of defeating him with corporation
lawyer and brewery favorite. That
can never happen in Ohio.

held at Hillgrove Reformed

Song by congregation, entitled
"All Hail the Power of Jesus

Song by Carnahan school.
The first question on program,
THE Duty of the S. S. in this
Temperance Work, " was ably
discussed by Rev. Macklin of
Union City. The following are
some of the most important
thoughts. The greatest duty of
the S. S. in this temperance
work devolves upon the parents.
In the first place, they should be
opposed to this liquor traffic and
in the second, not only opposed
to it in argument and actions,
but also show their willingness
toward the good work by voting
it dry" when the time comes
to act. Duty of the S. S. should
be to reform men, and that of
the saloon is to deform them.
What makes our country great?
Its manhood and womanhood.
You can't run a -four mill with
out using up wheat You can't
run a saloon without using up
men. It's the American saloon
that we must clean out and get
rid of, our enemy that is drag
ging the. young generation to the
slums of the world. Vote Darke
county dry. There is a story
that goes like this: A boy own
ing a dog wished to cut off his
tail and so as to be as humane as
possible decided to cut off just a
piece at a time, in which case he
thought would be less painful to
the poor creature. Of course,
| fellow-readers, you can draw
your own conclusions of this case.
Rev. Macklin said that the tail
of the liquor traffic dog should
be cut off just behind the ears.
So don't forget when you have
the opportunity, to do your part
in this great work and to make
the right decision for yourself
and in the help of others. Vote
"dry" and by so doing, vote cff
your soul the responsibility of the
liquor traffic. Vote wet" and
by so doing you will vote on your
soul the responsibility of this
great enemy. Weigh this ques.
ton carefully in your minds anc
be sure you make the right de
cision.

TAXATION OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Since farm products are species
of personal property, it follows that
under the present methods Of assess
ing personal property, and the notorl-
Gus evasions of the large owners or
intangible personal property in the
cities, such farm products as are now
subject to taxation are made to bear
an excessive burden of taxation be-
cause of the increase in the tax rate
necessary to provide the required rev
enue when such an enormous amount

evades taxation entirely.-N. j. Bach

STRAUSS REPORT
ON LABOR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Secre-
tary Oscar S. Straus of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, has
submitted his report to the presi-
dent. 1t says:
During the past year force of
over one hundred special agents
under the bureau of labor has been
at work conducting the investiga-
ton authorized and directed by
congress into the condition of wo-
men and children wage earners of
the United States. Cotton textiles,
silk manufacturing. mems clothing,
and glass making were selected as
four representative industries in
which women and children were
largely employed, and careful
study has been made of the condi-
lions under which the work of
these industries is carried on.
Zone of the great needs in in
dustrial relations in the United
States is a radical change in the
law respecting employers liability.
At the present time, except for the
recent act for government en-
ployes, the principles of the old
common law still prevail in most
of our states, with some degree of
modification of the fellow servant
doctrine. But these notifications
do not at all bring our legislation
on employers liability anywhere
near the standard set by all the
principal countries of the world.
Under our practice no compen-
sation can be collected for injury
or death unless such injury or
death is due directly to some negli-
gence on the part of the employer
or one of his representatives or en-
ployes. In probably the majority
of cases no one is properly to be
blamed for an industrial accident.
Modern industry is becoming In
creasingly more dangerous, and a
certain amount of death and injury
inevitably result from many of its
processes. The utmost precautions
on the part of both employer and
employee might reduce the number
of accidents, but it is futile to hope
that they can be entirely elimi-
mated. ~
I'VE should recognize that these
accidents are, and to certain ex-
tent must always be, part of the
regular cost of carrying on certain
trades; that they are as much a
part of the business economically
as the breakage and wear and tear
of machinery; that the expense of
them should be borne by that bust
ness and distributed upon the pub
lie and consumers like any other
manufacturing cost"

Milo A. Root is still justice-elect
of the supreme court, despite his
resignation, and if he saw fit he
could take his place on the bench
on January II next.
When Justice Root rendered his
resignation to Governor Mead, his
resignation only affected the pres
ent term, which expires January
II, and had no bearing whatever
on the term to which he was elect
ed on November 3. If he so wills,
Justice Root could take his Office
with the other justice on January
II next and serve out his full term
of six years.
There is no likelihood. however,
of Justice Root qualifying, and this
failure to qualify will leave a va
cancy on the bench, the same as
exists at present.

efforts to get possession of the

Mrs. Britain. At this stage forged
signatures, altered powers of at
tOrney and other complicated
phases of the case appear, but
Mrs. Britain through all of it holds
onto the security given her by
Mason.
After Mason had turned over the
chattel mortgage to Mrs. Britain,
and before she had recorded 1t, he
met heron the train one day and
stole her purse. thinking the chat
tel mortgage might be inside, but
it was not. Mason, however, Sc
cured the gold watch that he had

in their settlement. After this
Mason finding that Mrs. Britain
was about to cause his arrest, fed
from Spokane, and has not since
been seen.
After Mrs. Britain went back to
Oregon, after month spent in
Spokane, Hopkins brought suit
against her for $1,000 for securing
her settlement with Mason and
garnisheed the Vendome hotel
chattel mortgage. Mrs. Britain
did not appear on the scene
promptly, and Hopkins took a de-
fault judgment against her. This
judgment was later set aside when
Mrs. Britain appeared on the
scene and employed F. c. Robert
son to straighten out the tangled
thread of her affairs.
Mrs. Britain today said that she
had learned from the police of two
states that Mason was profess
sional crook who operated with
women solely. In this nefarious
work, she says, she has found that
he had the assistance of James
Hopkins, the Spokane attorney,
who was recently convicted by the
bar association of corrupt prac-
tees. Hopkins in one of his letters
to Mrs Britain said Mason had .se.
cured over $4,000 by his crooked
deals.

Protests from hundreds of prop

ton of Bishop w. H. Morehouse
by which a Japanese mission is
projected TO establishment in a
select district.
1t is claimed that the Japanese
are spreading throughout the city
and that property values are de-
creasing daily. The Japanese have
been gaining a foothold in resi-
dence blocks by paying a fancy
price for one or two houses, then
as soon as property begins to de-
preciate, the remainder of the
houses can be rented at their own
figures.
