MARION LADY
DIES In KENTON
Mrs. Frank Morganthaler
Was a Patient Sufferer.
Submits to an Operation but Was
Unable to Withstand the
Shock.

Marion friends and relatives today
received announcement of the death
of Mrs. Minnie Morganthaler, aged
thirty-fiye years, wife of Frank Nor
genthaler, Of Seffner Avenue, which
occurred this morning in Kenton.
Mrs. Morgenthaler, who has been
a sufferer for the past eight years
was removed to the Kenton hospital
little more than week ago, ana
submitted to an operation for tumor
last Monday, from the effects OF
which she never recovered. She is
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Trey, of near Agosta, and is sur
vived by the husband, two daugh-
ters, Ethel, aged fifteen, and Maude,
eleven, and by brother Fred Trey,
railroad man with headquarters in
Cincinnati. To those friends who
knew the deceased during her long
period of suffering and the cheerful
ness submissiveness with which she
bore pain, the news OF the end will
be read with sorrow.
Funeral arrangements have not

gress was to prevent railroads from
discriminating against shippers in
their own interest as competitors in
business. When road owned coal
mines it has frequently happened
that it refused to furnish cars to
other coal operators who owned no
railroads and were in competition
with them. Congress tried to break
up this discrimination by prohibiting
railways from owning coal mines ami
operating them. But now comes the
Supreme Court tid tells these rail-
way mcnopolists and squeezers that
the law is alright but. Separate
coal companies can be organized for
the purpose )f marketing the coal"
says the court and then what's tho
good of the law? Or the railways can
sell the coal to some dummy of their
own and then ship it where they
please. Thus the law is completely
overthrown ami it is a fine exem
plihcation of tHgt ancient adagc

GIRO UMSCRIBING
HER B0OZRRIES

Three Indiana counties voted on
the liquor traffic, yesterday, two GO
ing dry and one wet. Clay county's
majority against the traffic was 1908
and Pulaski's 400. Spencer's wet
majority was SO. Thus far G7 OF
Indiana's 92 counties have gone dry,
either by remorstrance or by ballot,
and five have voted wet This leaves
20 counties to take action on the
question. It is probable that a larger
per cent. of these counties remaining
will vote to continue the traffic and
il is likely that in the end dozen
or more will be found in the wet
column. But the dry counties will
probably range from 10 to 80 and
the new Legislature will probably be
elected on this issue. 1t seems en-
tirely improbal!e that this question
can be kept OFT as such neglect on
the part Of the temperance people
would expose the law to the chance
of repeal. Heuce, it is almost cer-
tain that Indiana will stand by the
work already accomplished Eighty
dry counties can certainly hold down
twelve wet ones. The facts are that,
in all human probability, Indiana is
steadily moving to the use OF the
process on the liquor
traftic-wiping II out legally within
its boundaries.

THE MAKING OF A SULTAN.
The new sultan spent an appren-
tlceship OF sixty-fve years a prac-
tical prisoner before he qualified for
MS job. He was surrounded by
spies and scarcely dared speak a
word for fear 1t would be distorted
and turned against him. Now. after
such a wasted life as that. he is
called to the throne for a few years,
but a throne shorn of most of its
power and depending chiefly lpon
religious reverence for what is left.
I'm the early days Of the military
glory and growth of the Osmanlis
the brothers and sons of the reign
ing sultan We're men OF power and
influence and held high military COM
mand under the reignng monarch
But after the civil war between four
brothers who contended for the
throne after the defeat of the OF
tomans by Kublai Kahn, the custom
was changed and in It's stead It be-
came customary for sultan upon
ascending the throne to kill or inn
prison all his brothers, and .ome
went so far as to treat their own
sons as possible rivals to the
throne. Young princes were reared
in seclusion and ignorance OF the
world and had no chance as for
merly to become leaders, generals
and statesmen. They were scarcely
ever heard of and more rarely seen
and for one to show the least inter
est in public AFFAIRS was to invite
his own death by poison, by The
bowstring or the dark waters Of the
Thirty years Of such life the new
sultan lived under his brother, the
deposed Abdul, and thirty-five years
before that under Abdul's Dredeces-
sors. 1t is little wonder that at the
age OF 65 he is only suited TO be q

BY orwell O. Riddle.

Columbus, Ohio, May 5-Next year
the voters of Ohio will decide wheth-
er another constitutional convention
shall be called to revise, alter or
amend the state constitution.
This is very serious proposition,
and should be well considered by
every voter before he decides how he
will vote. The Possibilities are so
great and consequences so far reach
ing that it would be an easy matter
to involve the state in endless turmoil
and accomplish no good result.
The present constitution was adopt
ed in 1851 by n constitutional conven-
tion that had been in continuous ses-
sion for ten months. The debate at
times was spirited, even acrimonious
and some of the delegates openly de-
clared that they would oppose the
ratification OF the constitution at the
polls. 1t was ratified however, and
has had but lew changes in all the
5S years of its existence as the organ

Another constitutional convention
was authorized by vote of the people
in 1871. The convention was in ses-
sion continuously one whole year.

A CLOSE QUESTION

The editor Of the Toledo Blade
makes a staggcr at discussing the
lumber matter but he seems to fall
short. He says suppose the tarn
is taken off lumber ana the Canadians
levy an export duty thereon, then
what is to be done? That is as easy
as falling off = log. If the Canadians
do that then let it be provided that
an import duty be levied of exactly
the amount of the Canadian export
duty. That would effectually check
mate any Canadian foolishness.
This lumber question is a pretty
close one and whether there should
be free lumber or whether it should
carry low duty of S1OO per thous-
and in the rough and slight raise
for finished lumber is a matter on
which we are not absolutely certain
We should not criticise a Senator or
Congressman for voting either way
Free lumber would probably operate
to the greatest good of the greatest
number of people as an immediate re-
suit. But there are 100000 working
men sustaining 100000 of people
engaged in this work and the ques-
tion of keeping those men engaged
in that vocation and thereby sustain
ing more diversified industries of ouf
country and thus by fostering each
industry provide for greater num-
Der of laboring men, al living wages,

telligent statesman and philosopher.

Canada one-Balf of those men-4OO,- :
900 wage-workers sustaining a popu-
lation of 100000 people-are in
duced to leave that business and be-
come competitors with other wage
workers it is not so everlastingly
certain to our mind that the change
as whole would be conducive to a
revival of business and to the i'm
provement OF production, exchange
and consumption throughout our
country The more people profitably
engaged in the lumber trade the more
will they cons lme of the products OF
those engaged in other trades ami
occupations and hence relatively the
more diversified, enlarged and pros
porous will be all the people. We
believe this proposition contains the
potency of logic and cannot be escap-
ed. And while we stand for free
sugar and coffee and tea and hides
and iron ore and coal and potatoes
and onions AMI wheat and corn yet
there is a question on lumber from

A NBGLDCTIlD STATESMAN.


Why have the American people
failed to honor the name and men,
ory of Alexander Hamilton in be-
coming fashion?
Hamilton's likeness is to appear
on certificates Of the $1,000 denom-
nation. Certificates of this value
are for the larger busines and bank
ing transactions; they are extern
sively but not popularly used. 1t is
sale assertion that a vast major
ity of American citizens have never
seen a certificate of this kind and
value; they are not for pocket cir
culation,
1t may be that the monarchical
bent of Hamilton's mind has made
him unpopular. But he conceded
something to his fellows at Phila-
delphia; he was alike loyal and lib
eral, and while his ideas of democ-
ray were not accepted by the con-
vention that framed the national
charter, it will be conceded by fair
men that his opposition to principles
espoused by men too radically demo
cratic added very much to the
strength of the instrument.
The American people owe much
to Hamilton; remembering his good
service to his country, they can
well afford to forget whatever faults
may have marred either his political
thinking or his personal practices
This republic should honor Hamil-
tons memory in some more becom-
ing way Outside of art museums
and libraries they rarely see his
likeness Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Among the more important amend
ments to the present constitution
ratified by the people were, creating
the circuit cou;t, IN 1888; changing
time of state elections from October
to November, in 1885; and the amend
ments voted IN under the Longworth
act of 1901, exmepting state and
local bonds from taxation, abolish
ing double liability of stockholders in
corporations, giving the governor
veto power, and changing time OF
electing various state and county of
ticials to separate municipal from
other elections.
Numerous proposed amendments
relating to taxation have been voted
down by the people. Even as late as
the election last tall two proposed
taxation amendments were defeated
at the polls, as was also proposed
amendment changing the time for
regular sessions OF the legislature
from even to cdd-numbered years, so
that such sessions viii be held the
first year after election.
The defeat of this last mentioned
amendment will make 1t necessary
to call special sessions to make ap-
propriations, II tor no other purpose,
the year following state elections;
and regular 50 'sions the year after
will give us annual sessions until the
constitution can be changed as pro-
posed in the amendment defeated last
fall.
IL might be well to note that the
only part of the constitution in which
material change IS desired by those
who are back OF the movement to call
another constitutional convention rs
that which rela'es to taxation.
All the rest Of the present docu-
ment appears 70 be entirely satisfac-
tory, except the needed change in the
time of holding regular sessions of
the legislature, which can easily be
remedied. At any rate, no general
complaint about any other part OF
the present constitution has been
heard.
But once another convention were
called there is no telling where it
would begin or where it would stop
Nor can there be any assurance that
the instrument shaped by another
convention would prove any more
satisfactory to the people than the
revised constitution submitted in
1873 and rejected at the polls.
A strange paradox in the case is
that those who are urging the calling
of another constitutional convention
