The Next Ohio Senator.
BY LEO.

office, of whom Foraker hlmsel1,
Burton of Cleveland, and Editor
Taft of Cincinnati, are promi-
nent. J. B. Foraker, naturally
enough, wants the place for an
other term. An abler man Ohio
may not easily find. But his great
ability has not been as servicea-
BILE to the Republican party as it
should have been. In fact, he
was chief antagonist in the Sen
ate to the policies of President
Roosevelt. And since President
elect Taft has pledged himself to
continue the policy of the Roose-
velt administration, it would be
folly to elect Senator Foraker to
succeed himself. There is ground
to fear that if Foraker was elec-
ted for another term, he would
pursue his Instructions as he did
during his second term.
This eliminates Foraker from
the contest. The election will
not go to him. Congressman
Burton would probably be the
chosen one if he lived somewhere
in the southern half of the state.
His geographical residence is a
gainst him. Two years hence,
when a successor to Senator Dick
will be elected, will be the pro-
per time for Burton to push for
ward his claim.
Editor Taft of Cincinnati seems
the destined man for the Senate
at this time. 1t is somewhat a.
gainst him that he is brother to
President-elect Taft, but the peo-
ple will condone that incident in
the belief that the editor will
make an efficient senator.
He will certainly be in accord
with the administration in re-
forming the tariff and other mat
ters. That matter will be up
soon after the inauguration OF
the new president in a called ex-
ira session, and the more sena-
tors in harmony with the admin
istration the better.
The subject is under investiga-
ton by the Ways and Means COM
mittee of the House of Represen-
tatives, and before the extra ses-
sion of Congress conyenes much
preparatory work will have been
accomplished.
The Dingley tariff law has been
in operation since the Mckinley
administration = twelve years =
during which time the country's
prosperity has been marvellous.
In that time great wealth was
accumulated and industrialism
greatly advanced.
And yet, new conditions re-
quire a re-adjustment on many
lines. Protection has for it's OBJ
iect the promotion of home in
dustry, and the creating of a
good home market for the people.
Wheneverany industry has reach
ed a point where protection is no
longer necessary, it is our duty
to lower the tariff or remove it
altogether.
Andrew Carnegie has come out
in favor of taking off the tariff
on steel. He affirms that we can
produce steel in competition with
any other nation, notwithstand-
ing the great difference in the
cost Of labor in this country. Il
that shall be found true, the stee
industry will have to go it with
out any protective tariff.
The wool industry still requires
protection. Democrats and Re
publicans agree in thissentiment
We can not grow wool in compe
tition with Australia and Souti

The Farmers Institute has this
year issued a new publication that
should be of great value to every
farmer who gets copy Of it. The
new book Is called 1.-THE Farmers
Institute Handy Reference Book"
and contains many formulas that
are often needed by farmers, for
spraying potatoes and fruits, treat
ing seed grain for smut, spraying
weeds and many Of the little things
that the farmer so often wishes to
know about but does not know
where to go for the information.
The book is to be given away free to
those who attend the Institute to be
held here next Tuesday. and we be-
lieve it well worth the time of any
farmer to attend to obtain copy.
