The impression has been given
throughout the city that the school
board proposes to expend $4,000 in
building four rooms at the Davids
street building. The plan of the
school board is to spend about SIS 1000
for this Improvement and the other
$4,000 proposed in the bond issue
is for paying for the fire escapes
which have been erected on the
buildings and in altering the build
ings to conform with the require
ments of the state building inspector.
Should the bond issue proposition
fail in the special election of Mon
day, it will be necessary for the board
to increase its levy for year or two
in order TO raise this $4,000 which
was borrowed from the banks TO pay
for the improvements which we're de-
manded by the building inspector,
and which have already been made.

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendeG on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DR.. Hartman recommends the use of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as a remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, course of Peruna
should be resorted to.

Undiguified Partisanship.

These positions are regarded by the
public as having greater prominence
and Importance than the employment
of two men to run an elevator. But

tions,

means of advising us definitely of the
adTsability of such a commission"
This is the old plea for procrasi-
nation heard in the Legislature halls
for years. MIR. Clevenger being a
new member It may be new to him,
but 1t is as old as the state house
itself.
Whenever a needed reform Is pro-
posed somebody proposes a commits

anybody propose TO rush into 1t head

AN that Governor Harmon has
asked TO begin with is that a single

children are attending, how would
you vote on the proposition? Marion
people have never blocked any
move which would be a benefit to

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh,
THE disease now known as grip
i used TO be called Influenza

TTHE disease now known as grip
i used TO be called Influenza
Itvory closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in fits hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis.
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh,
When IL once begins IL spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches Il from the
atmosphere.
"Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried
for La Grippe"
Robt. i. Madison, A. NJ, Principal of
Cullowhee High School, Painter, N. c.,
is chairman of the Jackson County
Board Of Education.
He is a writer of occasional verse and
has contributed TO a number of leading
papers and magazines, s,--religious, edu-
cational and secular.
In speaking of Peruna, Mr.. Madison
says:
al am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. tits the most effective medi-
cine that have ever tried for la grippe.
ait also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night breathe
through her nostrils.
ain consequence, an infamed condl-
tion of the throat was brought about,
getting worse and worse and yielding
TO no remedy until Peruna was tried"
Healthy MUCOUS Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
haYe perfectly healthy mucous mem.
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion of grip.
But, IL there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing TO do is TO keep the
system free from catarrh. In attempt
ing 10 do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.

keeper for Indiana Reform School for

was followed by systemic catarrh.

health the last three years than for

TIME TO SAY "AMEN"

Governor Harmon has given up all
hcpe of securing anything from the
general assembly. The Democrats
are standing nobly by the governor,
but the Republican majority is pull
ing the other way. ut matters not
what Governor Harmon asks, the
Republicans, under direction Of the
bosses, decide right off the reel that
his wishes shall net be granted.
Governor Harmon has come to the
point of declaring that the sooner
the general assembly adjourns the
better for the state.
Things in Ohio have surely come to
pretty pass, when a man of the
ability and honesty of governor Har-
mon, man who has surrendered
lucrative positions in order that he
may obey the call OF the people to
preside over the affairs Of the state;
a man who has stated as his policy
tltat he proposes to give to the people,
zone hundred cents worth of good
government for every dollar OF taxes
collected" man who is giving his
very best efforts for the state and its
people, is moved to make such a
declaration.
The people of Ohio have been
closely following Governor Harmon
in his administration. They are in
sympathy with him in everything he
has asked from the Legislature; they
kmuw that he has made no demands
which are unreasonable; they know
that the things which he advocates
are for the good of the state; they
know that the legislature has refused
him everything he has asked because
Of partisanism, and il is a safe pre-
dtction that right now they are
making up their minds TO remove the
great handicap when he is selected to
succeed himself.
There is a possibility though, that
Governor Harmon will accomplish
scme OF the things he advocates, even
Though the legislature refuses to give
him any assistance. or course he
cannot modify the taxatalon system
in the state and accomplish some Of
the other things he has proposed,
without the sanction of the general
assembly, but there are some things
me can do after the general assem-
bly gets out Of the way, ne can
be depended upon to do everything
within his power TO better the con-
ditions. Possibly this thought was
in his mind when he made the dec
lalation that ii would be good
thing when the legislature had ad-
journed. To the governors send-
ments chorus of fervent "Amens"
go up from all over the Buckeye
state.

Intended to Block Reform.

That the purpose of the Republican
majority in the senate was to block
amy kind of taxation reform by
adopting the CLeyenger resolution to
refer the whole question 70 commits
sion, was admitted by Senator Olev-
enger.
Like other PARTISAN exhibits of the
majority this session, the resolution
was adopted by sndct party vote
over the protest made by the Demo-
cratic floor leader in the senate and
She solid vote Of the Democratic min
oIity.
Attempting TO excuse this bald
headed old trick Senator Olevenger
Is quoted as saying: 'T do not be-
heVe We should rush into an entire
tearing up of the present taxadiou
machinery without knowing what we
are doing. A year should not make
a great difference; 1t should be the

Making Campaign Material.

Describing the manner ill which the
Woods taxation bill was side-tracked
in the house by a party vote the Co
lumbus Dispatch, a Republican paper,
says:
"Floor Leader Eryin has succeeded
in Identifying the Republicans with
the opposition TO a bill which was
earlier in THE day declared a non-par-
disan measure, and the Democrats
have been furnished with some very
excellent campaign material, for aside
from the merits or demerits OF the
bill itself they succeeded admirably
in creating broadcast the impression
that " was one 'fer the people and
agin the corporations, and that the
Republicans are fer the corporations. ="
Here Is confederation of the facts
from the columns of a Republican
paper-that the alliance between the
Republican state organization and
centainr powerful corporate interests
entered into before This session be-
gan TO contIol legislation is intact
and in wording order through the
Republican majority of the legisla-
ture; and that the action OF the Re-
publican majority of the house on
this particular measure furnished the
Democrats some very excellent cam
pagin material.
lt is necessary for the Democratic
minority TO play politics 10 manu-
facture campaign material. The Re
publican majority does II for the
Democrats ON almost every question
that comes up, and they are furnish
ing the Democrats some very excel
lent campaign material indeed when
1t Is so glaring That even a Rapub-
lican paper will recognize and vol
admit II.

False and Silly Canard.

About the silliest OF the several
silly canalds set anoat since the be-
ginning of this session of the agis-
la.ur is that started by some silly
person to the effect that the Demo-
cratic state organization, headed by
Harvey c.. Garber and aided by W.
l.. Finley, is charged with having
worked to help the Republican organ
izaition put the Woods public utilities
bill into the waste basket"
T'his camaTd olives entirely too
much credit to Gaiber and Finley in
its presumption that they have great
er influence over the Republican ma
jolity in the legislature than is gem
orally accredited to Field Marshal
Phipps, who has been known 10 go
on the floor OF the house to line up
Republican, members IN opposition to
the Democratic state administration.
10 slow how utterly absurd this
canard Is needs oniy to quote briefly
from what two Republican papers had
TO say about the defeat of the Woods
combined taxation and utilities bill.
From the Columbus Dispatch, Feb.
19: ''Ervin Republican leader in
the house, earlier in the day had said
that the fight would be non4parti-
sam cne. When the bill came up
tfor passage he discovered TO his
astonishment that 1t had enough votes
Ito pass it. So he dug up the motor
dous old party lash and so perfectly
did he crack It that he whipped in
Ito Line all Republicans except slx;"
ALSO SIN brief the funeral oration
over the Woods bill was long and
varied and sundry and useless be-
cause the Republican leaders had
decided 1t should not pass, and 1t did
mot"
; Ohio State Journal, Feb. 10. 'Tt
was a PARTISAN fight, Judge Winters
TIE Democratic leader bringing word
from Governor Harmon TO stand for
the bin, while ON the test vote only
six Republicans (naming them) SUM-
ported the solid Democratic line-un

track"
Here Is recorded Republican testi-
mony THAT the Republican whip lined
up all baat six of the Republican
against the bin and that the
bill recveiTed the solid support of
the Democratic members.
WIhich shows up the absurdity OF
the canard, the apparent purpose or
which is TO create false and silly
impression that harmony does not ex-
list between the Democratic state ad-
and the state Democratic
organization,

ME AND GEORGE

President Roosevelt has unearhed
an editorial in paper which was
published In Washington time, and
ds apparently taking great satisfac-
ttion in the fact that there was some
dissatisfaction expressed when the first
president retired from his high office.
President Roosevelt is arguing from
this that ii is not 50 bad that his
exit from the White House should
cause such an intense feeling Of sat
isGa9tion in some circles, particularly
in official circles at Washington
Ut is difficult to tell, however,
whether the president is trying to
console himself because of the in
tense feeling against him in the
circles of the house and senate and
in a few other circles as we'll, or
whether he is endeayoring to place
himself upon the pedestal with the
father OF this country. An effort has
been made upon the part of some
persons TO place Vice-President Fair
'banks upon the same ornamented
pedestal with President Roosevelt,
and now that Roosevelt is trying to
crowd his own bust upon the same
base with that of the great George
Washington, Fairbanks "putters"
win have another job OF putting to
do.
The next thing we may reasonably
expect will be resurrection Of some
of the criticisms of Abraham Lin
coin during the Civil War. Then it
win be a case of 'IAfe and George and
Abe"
Ut matters not how President Roose-
welt may try TO console himself, the
tact remains, that while he was at
one time the idol of the people, he
has fallen from the high pinnacle
and when on next Thursday he re-
tires from the presidency he will be
one of the most unpopular men who
ever fled the high office, not even
excepting the late Grover Cleveland
Time and his correct life proved that
Grover Cleveland was right in many
of his contentious. He has proven
to be a long headed, far sighted man
and at the time of his death he was
loved by many and respected by all.
Let us hope that the future may be
as kind to Theodore Roosevelt as 1t
was with Grover Cleveland.

The newspapers made It so hot for
the legislators that they knocked of
ten cents for every mile they were
supposed to travel, whether they act
ually made the trip home. Now the
poor legislators will receive two cents
per mile with an allowance of four
trips home per month. They might
have been given little allowance
for Pullman fare, but the probability
Is they will cut down on the number
OF trips sufficient to make up for the
cost of riding in Pullman cars and
tipping the porter.

What the Governor Asked;
What the Bosses Refused.

Since the controlling powers of the
hepuDlican state organization have
decreed that the legislature shall ad-
here to the original do-nothing pro
gram for this session, the people Of
Ohio irrespective of politics have
good cause for amazement and dis
gust at such an exhibit of petty
politics.
Governor Harmon did not ask any
thing unreasonable Of this legislature
nor did he ask that Il do more at
this session than take up few of
the most important matters and dis
pose of them.
Governor Harmon asked that the
probe of Cincinnati be resumed for
the reason that IN those under in
vestlgation had reason to go to the
expense OF litigation to stop the
probe the people had equal reason
for having IL go on. But the bosses
have strangled all probe resolutions
proposed during this session.
Governor Harmon asked that au-
thority be given him to make prop
er examination Of pall state depart
ments and institutions, and that a
fund be placed at his disposal for
that purpose. but che Woods bill
proposing Il grant this request was
emasculated by the Republican ma
jorhy in the house by transferring
all such authority to a commission,
and Mr.. Phipps. the new Republican
boss in Ohio, was on the floor of
hn N, H.or,N o.
the amendments which changed the
whole character and purpose Of the
original bill.
Governor Harmon asked that an
inventory be made Of all the states
property in the various state depart
ments and institutions, but this busi-
ness-like proposition was emaculated
by the senate committee so that a
padded investory might have TO be
made to cover up discrepancies, If
any exist.
Governor Harmon asked that a sin
gle commission be created under
present tax laws to take the place
OF the dozen ex-ohlcio boards COM
posed of state officers, IN the belief
that enforcement of existing tax laws
would increase the states income
and that such commission through
actual experience of one year would
be able to point out wherein de-
fects in the present laws could be
remedied by Legislation at the next
session. But the Republican bosses
have decreed that there shall be no
taxation legislation this session.
These are the things Governor
Harmon has asked for and these are
the things a partisan Republican leg
islature has refused to grant.
BY the time the legislature will
meet in regular session next year.
public feeling will be SO aroused
that the bosses will be compelled To
hearlIen 10 IT, and all these issues,
which could easily have been settled
this session will have to be thrash
ed over again BY this sort of pro
CT estimation the Republican bosses
hope to hamper the administration of
Governor Harmon during its first
year. Even though lh'B advice were
followed next session there would
remain but a few months to give the
governors policies the test of expert
ence before election day. The Repub-
lfcan bosses believe they would be
the better able thereby to discredit
the governor, his policies and his ad-
ministration during the heat OF po-
litical campaign

THE REASON FOR 1T

Senator Beatty, Of Wood county
has declared:
TRY to get through this leg
is!ature any measure TO save the
taxpayers money and you're up
against 1t. Mention an increase OF
salary, on an extension of the
term of a county official and
you have plenty of support. The
whole dominating idea seems to
he to evolve some new way OF
eXpendlng the peoples money"
The senator told the absolute truth
but he did not go quite far enough
He should have continued and told
the people the reason for It. The
cause is found in the operations OF
the machine, which should have had
every cog broken out of 1t last fall.
