THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
Cincinnati Man Thinks Harmon May
 Win State for Bryan.

Cincinnati Man Thinks Harmon May
 Win State for Bryan.
 Cincinnati Letter to New York Sun.
 It Is a growing source of wonder to us jays" in the West where you 'rubes" in the East are getting your dope" that you so constantly pro- claim that Bryan has no chance of be- ing elected. Out here no body thinks of saying anything except that Bryan has very rair chance to win. do not say that wish 1t that way. but do not believe in binding my eyes to the truth, and it must be sadmltt ted that political conditions throughout the enire middle West are in very un- days have been told by ten different Republicans that I could set 1t right down that here in Ohio Harmon, the Democratic candidate, was going to be elected. have since mentioned the fact to other Republicans and they do not dispute it. A couple of the Repub- licans who thus stated the situation to me were politicians.
 Here in Ohio the matter of personal liberty Is entering into the equestion. There is a personal liberty league here in Cincinnati that Is made up equally of prominent Republicans anu Democrats And 1t is no mere formal affakr--it Is a the people to its plblic meetings by tens of thousands. The people are aroused on this subject to an extent to which to my Knowledge they were never aroused before.
 We'll, if Harmon Is going to be tion is pretty near. By that l mean the danger is near. for owing to a reluctance about scratching tickets Harmon may pull Bryan through.

AnorHEn AIn pnonsr.

Now we are promised another exhi- bition of a successful flying machine. Henri Farmsn, French aeronaut. promises that on Saturday at Brighton Beach he will exhibit a machine that will fly like a bird." as he expresses 1t. For years" comments The Brook lyn Eagle, "this promise has been made in our ears, only to be broken to our sight. Balloons. both steerable and helpless have flown over New York. while the great race from St. Louis to the sea conquered incredulity as to the possibility of navigating the air in ships upheld by gas. The flying ma chine--thst is. the ship heavier than the air it displaces. which is kept afioat as a bird is by the motion of its wings-is the problem which re- mains to be demonstrated. The Wright brothers have made remarkable flights in this country in such a machine. the mechanism of which they carefully guard. Farman has done the same thing in Europe, and he makes no se- cret of the structure or control of his vehicle. He says that in building his machine he has taken advantage of what other aeronauts. especially Lang Icy and Deiagrange. have done before him, and that any improvements he may make will be contributed to the worlds knowledge of method of To- comotion which he believes win be in general use in a few years.
 Last winter Mir. Farman made a circular flight of nearly three-auarters of mile in Paris, winning a prize of s1o.ooo for 1t. A little, later he flew a mile and half in circle, while a few weeks ago he stayed in the air over twenty minutes. flying eleven miles in that time. He hopes to equal or excel that achievement here. If he does he will be the sensation of a very dull summer. But, through repeated u1bAppOtnttnento NsB 1oNA nAs COtio to Missouri state of mind regarding flying machines. It accepts Farman on his arrival very much as it does any other snowman. But once he files for a mile or two New York will wake up and cry for him."
 This French experimenter may sue ceed. He has behind him the record of a really successful flight. and his American venture may be all that he claims for 1t. That can only be de- cided after it is over. but he is plainly on the right track. All efforts to suc- cessfully navigate the air in balloons have amounted to little, because they have gone on the principle that their machine must be provided with a gas- bag which will sustain the entire weight whether 1t is still or in mos tion. machine heavier than the air. which will sustain itself through it's motion. just as the bird does. is the only one that offers hope of success. Perhaps Mir. Farman has 1t.

IS SUMNER
 TRYING UPON YOUR HEALTH?
You Need a Tonic te keep Up Your Strength. Not a Laxa-. tive to Further Weaken
 the Body.

Not all tonics are suitable for use during the hot months Many tonic preparations are also purgatives and tend to aggravate a condition prevail ent In summer.
 If you are weak and rundown, pale and without energy and ambition, take q suggestion from the hot countries of South and Central America where the tonic remedy almost exclusively used is pr. Williams Pink Pills. The rea- son for the popularity of these pills in regions where 1t is always summer Is that they have no laxative action, they build up the blood without purging and weakening. They give strength and do not take 1t away. An excellent example of the tonic action of this remedy Is the caseof Mrs. Gilbert R. Searles. of Hanover Street, Marshall. Mich.
 T was taken sick few years ago" run down and facilitated. had no strength nor ambition. lost fearfully In flesh and my complexion was sallow and lips pale. My stomach was weak and digestion poor. I had a constant craving for food. although my stomach pained me all of the time. There was also great deal of pain in my back. loins and sides and I had hard head aches. My blood was thin and impov- erished and was rapidly going into q decline. could not work and life didn't seem worth living.
 'T tried doctors and several medi- cines for over a year with but little benefit My sister, who was visiting me. urged me to try pr. Williams Pink Pills. I bought some at once, and af- ter taking a few boxes was restored to health. gained about thirty pounds in weight and have been the picture of health ever since"
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists. or sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $7.50. by the pr. Will Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

 Mir. p. W. Chain, their nominee for the Presidency, makes a stalwart cam paigner for the Prohibitionists. He takes the bull by the horns when he meets MT. Taft's sweeping declaration that nothing Is mor foolish. nothing more utterly at variance with sound public policy, than to enact law which, by reason of conditions sur is declared to be law. Is incapable of enforcement" with an equally sweep ing averment that mo man who was ever the candidate for the Presidency ment" Mir. Chain then cites the amendment to the constitution which gives the colored man the right to vote, and the Federal law stamping out pol of Utah voters were in favor of the practice. and asks trlumphantly wheth- CT Mir. Taft would have these laws re- pealed. He continues:
 rality of no people can be raised above their laws. We must first have a law which states right principle of Gov ernment. commenting what Is right less of sentiment, and then We must use the power of the State to enforce the law in communities where public sentiment does not sustain the right ."
 But tnOuBnLEuI LElenQb OI the negroes North and South were long ago con- vinced that the granting to them of the suffrage worked their misfortune. largely through their own deficiencies, but chiefly because the law was, In fact, incapable of local enforcement And Mir Chains argument that, be- cause polygamy was put down in Utah, the rum traffic in all the larg eeities may be similarly put down.

Atlanta scores another one over the effete cities of the country. A wolf is running at large in the city; not the mythical wolf that lies at the door while people are starving inside, but a genuine. ravenous wolf. that prowIs around and steals chickens. kills dogs, frightsns children and causes mothers to lie awake o,nights. The cry of Wolf" Is plainly not a fake over there for the animal is there and the residents of one .neighborhood are ask . ing police protection. and things are interesting. The question that Is agi- tating some of the residents is to know where he came from. Perhaps he es- caped from some convict camp where he had been guarding prisoners.

cheap dollars. and Castro has . print ing press and can turn out as much cheap money as there may be need of. Even if Government ofaciais and clerk. should fail to see payday coms around 1t would not be altogether . novelty with them,
 And speaking of Castro and his country reminds us that he has lately issued his ukase, or pronunciamento. or whatever they call It down there. forbidding the importation into vene- sueia of cigarettes and material for their manufacture. and also of ammu- milton of all kinds. without a special permit from the Governinent--meaninr himself, we presume. sust what is the connection between cigarettes and am munition is not clear. We can under stand why he should bar out firearms and ammunition. for there's generally some kind of revolution going on over there and he wants to keep the i'm surgents from getting anything to fight with. Perhaps he wants to bar cigarettes for the same reason. ar guing that if the revolutionists can't get something to smoke they'll quit revolving, or revoiuting. or whatever it is they are engaged in.
 Our own Government Is also making faces at Castro, and we believe 1t has withdrawn it's representatives from Venezuela. Plainly diplomatic reia- tions are becoming what they call strained between the two Republics. and the big stick may be put in mo- tion if things do not improve. How ever if Holland is about to undertake the spanking job we suppose the United States can sit by and see 1t we'll done. occasionally giving the Dutch a little help on the side.

FRIDAY. JULY sI, 1908.

Plainly Judge Grosscup is not the kind of man to be intimidated by any big stick bluster from the head of the Government. Roosevelt's overbearing and uncaIled for remarks when he heard of the decision only called forth from the Judge this brief comment or reply:
 There is no more reason why I should take notice of comment of Roosevelt than I would that of any private citizen, for the office that he fills and the offices the judges of the court dent, though coordinate branches of the government"
 While this is sufficiently respectful it is about as plain as one could wish and we suspect that the boss at oys- ter Bay exhibited those big teeth of his rather more than usual when he read 1t. The good thing about it is that Roosevelt not only deserved the rebuke but brought 1t on himself. His comments on the reversal of the Landis verdict were not only out of place but were both offensive and insulting to the court. It is well that he finds an official occasionally who will tell him such plain truths as he ought to hear for he needs some decisive reminder that he is not the whole Government.

According to the latest New Jersey theory when a mosquito comes at you all you need to do is to look him-or her or it-squarely in the eye and thus hypnotIze the insect so that 1t will not bite you. It may be a good idea, but there are at least two hitches in the program. One is the fact that mos quitoes have a mean habit of biting in the dark. and the other is the fact chat unless a person has good sight it requires a Microscope to see the things eye. As an improvement on the Jersey plan We suggest first kill ing the insect and then examine the eyes at leisure.

Hearst's Speech.

Macon Telegraph.
 We do not know who wrote Hearst's speech, opening the Independence Par ty convention in Chicago Monday night; he may have written it him self. but 1t was a terse, epigramatic statement, which reflects credit on the ability of the author--whoever he may be. It was not Graves. 1t may have been Brisbane If we knew that Hearst was the real author of this speech 1t would greatly increase our respect for his ability. His arraign- ment of the old parties was terrific. and in some degree just; and 1t would have It's effect on independent voters if they had any great confidence in the man who made the attack. But Hearst Is believed to be an ambitious opportunist without very great prin- clDles or very exalted character. He Is known to be a yellow journalist.

Mir. Taft can congratulate himself that he is nearly through the red tape part of the business. When his letter of acceptance has been properly re- vised and o. K.'d by Roosevelt. and has been given out to the press. he can proceed with his vote-gettins.
