TAFT's OHIO VICTORY.

~ AFT has won a sweeping victory IN Ohio'
His enemies concede that he Will probably
Oh 10 the Chicago convention with the entire
fortv-six delegates of Ohio supporting HIM Inc
Foraker men offered opposition IN only one
county. and the Taft managers declare that For
aker was beaten in that county. Oh course II
was expected that Taft would win his home
State but even his closest friends thought that
Foraker would put up a stronger hight.
Only few months ago the opponents OF
Roosevelt. striking through Foraker IN ONO,
proposed TO teach the country lesson. lhey IN
tended to defeat Taft in his home State and thus
humiliate him.
Foraker was naturally picked to lead the bat
tie and he was given all the support that wan
Street could possibly exert. The tight was waged
bitterly. but suddenly the bottom began to drop
out of it. The opponents of the President sought
shelter elsewhere. Foraker was admitted by
them to be dead one, and then came the STIR
ring of the Hughes boom.
His opponents have lost good deal OF precious
time in trying to defeat Taft in Ohio How care-
fully were their plans laid. How Foraker snorted
and fumed over the Brownsville regiment affair,
and how indignant according to the Foraker
press agents, were the negroes OF ONO Lhey
were going to punish the President and Taft,
both at the same time. And yet the campaign OF
the opponents of Taft in Ohio has ended in wind
and buster The people of the State have
spoken in no uncertain language.
Ohio may not be an index of sentiment
throughout the entire country That is not to be
expected But it may point in which direction
the wind is blowing the straws. And it NO. Gre
ate a suspicion that much of the ranting OF the
opponents of Taft is but talk and buster. The
result in Ohio certainly proves that Foraker AMI
Dick and the rest of them ran their heads against
a stone wall They counted on winning with
wind instead Of with votes.

According to Heading prelates" in Rome,
Archbishop Farley Of New York, Archbishop
O'Connell, of Boston, and Archbishop Riordan,

the Pope. The reports appear to be authentic,
and should they prove so Catholics of this coun-

only American priest who is cardinal There
has been a strong movement to secure a larger
representation of America among the cardinals.

Editorial Opinion
Behind the Times.

Elthart Review.
Prof G. Stanley Hall, a well-Snown
educator and president Of Clark Univer-
sity, In late address to a body Of teach
ers, bewailed the predominance Of women
in the teaching profession. He declares
that it results in sissy boys in the
schools and sissy principals among
the teachers. He thinks the only place for
women in connection with schools is on
the school board and he hints that they
are Of mighty little use there. At one time
Mr.. Halls judgment on matters Of edu-
cation was worth something but he has
been in the educational work so long.
studied the petty details Of his work so
constantly and become so narrowed by
the prejudices Of his calling and by con-
tinually dealing with the smaller things
of life that his judgment is of very little
value at present. When he attacks CO.
education in this day and age he proves
how thoroughly the spirit of long ago,
when he was a young man. dominates his
present opinions and prejudices.

KENT AND SUSSEX FINANCES.

II He Milford Chronicle calls attention to the
Il need of able management of county affairs.
The Republican party controls the Kent and the
Sussex county government, and therefore will be
held responsible by the people for sound al
ministration of the finances. The Chronicle
charges loose methods and insists that a radical
change should be made in some departments.
The Chronicle holds that reformation
should be made in the disposal of the money ex-
pended by the trustees of the poor The Levy
Courts make appropriations in lump sums to the
trustees, who pay bills through their own treas
urers. The Chronicle thinks better plan would
be to have the county treasurer of each county
pay all such bills, The suggestion is good.
Taxpayers lose considerable money through
leaks and eXtravagances, as for instance the ex-
penditure of a considerable sum for dinners for
our own. trustees Of the poor

and also known as a lecturer, once
practlced law, or tried to do SO, in
Wichita, Kan. But he did, according
to Wichita letter in the Topeka Cap
ital In 1876 Champ Clark opened an
Office where the Pacific Express COM

great deal Of business for young at
torneys at that time, and Champ
Clark did the best he could to make
q living, but he became discouraged
and In time left the state and return

Kos Harris on the street one day and
eold him that he intended to stay in

made. Several days later he was seen
