Ohio's

In the Washington Post appears a
succinct review of the governorship Of
Ohio in the time Of Hayes, with later
analogies bearing on Hsrmon's future.
The war brought to Ohio demo-
Gratis a long period of defeat, at last
broken by "Old Bill" Allen in 1873.
Allen was again nominated in 1875,
but was defeated by r. b.. Hayes, II
he had beaten Hayes he would have
been nominated in 1875, the Post
thinks, for the presidency and not
necessarily defeated.
In 1888 Judge Hoadly was elected
governor. His reelection would have
made him second only to Grover
Cleveland in the party, with all that
the prestige Of a very able man might
have brought. He was defeated by
Foraker and his political career was
ended.
James Campbell was elected gov
ernor in 1889. Nominated for re-
election he was beaten by Mckinley.
If he had been elected again there
would have been no presidential
career for Mckinley, while Campbell
and not Cleveland, who could have
been turned down for denomination
by the German clique If there had
been an available man among the
democrats, might have come to the
presidency in 1899.
If Governor Harmon is renominated
by the democrats Of Ohio and elected
he will certainly be in line for the
democratic nomination for the presi.
dency in 1919. If beaten for the gov.
ernorship he will not be again promi.
nent.
This is the Posts interesting Ohio
review, from which 1t would appear
that either Taft or Harmon will be the
president after the campaign Of 1919
There are flaws in the similitudes, but
Harmon, all may agree, will be the
strongest democratic probability in the
country If again elected to the gov,
ernorship. Ohio Is an attractive po
litical field for study.

BASE BALL NOT A "eAmn."
Kansas Court Denhe the sport rs a
sunday Pastime,
Chicago Record-Hereld.

Chicago RECOMMENDING
There will be general interest In a recent
"vindicatlon" OF base ball as a Sunday
game by the supreme court Of Kansas
The great national sport has never Ie-
ceived a more handsome tribute from a
more austere tribunal.
There Is a statute I'm Kansas prohibiting
horse racing. e%ockfighting. playing at
cards or games OF any kind" on Sunday.
A base ball player was convicted Of a
violation Of this statute, but the supreme
court reversed the Judgment and freed him.
This It did. not on any technical ground,
but in the conviction. based on research and
authority. that base ball never was .
game Of FOUNDERS" and Is not ration
ally to be classed with games recognized
as immoral in tendency,
The statute, says the court In its opin-
ion. creates a species OF games which the
popular mind associates with gambling and
.rowdyism. Base ball, on the other hand.
lis looked upon as entirely devoid Of these
and like Objectionable features 1t is not
a gamblers game; parents and teachers
encourage II because Il is healthful to mind
and body and affords innocent entertain
ment. 1t is a democratic game which levels
all class barriers. 1t is distinctively Amer
lean. and has andrreproachable past as well
as a clean ayd oreditable present reputa-
ton.
II follows that the legislature should not
be presumed to have intended to prohibit
II on Sunday along with gambling and cosk-
fighting, and therefore base ball may be
lawfully played at all times IN Kansas.
Whatever may be thought Of Sunday
playing It is certain that every lover OF
the national sport will applaud the courts

Discussing the future Of the democratic
party Mr.. Bryan's Commoner expresses the
opinion that since 1892, when the demo-
Gratis elected MI. Cleveland, the tariff
controversy has been a sham battle, and
that from this time forth there should be a
real fight between the taxpayers and the
tAxeaters."
As the gentleman from Nebraska has
made a near approach to a great truth. II
may be said without offense that It was
he and his lieutenants who ~inaugurated
the sham fight, which was a sham only
so far as they were concerned. There was
nothing resembling mimicry In the attitude
OF the protected interests. They were in
earnest and they shot to kill.
Taking advantage Of Mr.. Bryan's sham
battle and his unsuccessful attempt to de-
grade the monetary standard. monopoly
identified the demoralized democracy with
reputation and proceeded to inflict upon
the country. practically without resistance,
the monstrous wrongs which at this late
day have a. length attracted Mr.. Bryan's
serious attention. The collapse OF the
democratic party undo the follies OF pop
ulism has cost the people dearly. Il IL

Knocking Primary Election Laws.

It is An exceedingly doleful account Of
political conditions in Wisconsin that the
Wisconsin politicians have been giving to
the New York legislative committee now
investigating the primary election laws in
the western states. The republican party
has been wiped out. they say, and one
cannot even find a trace Of republican
principles in the treetops, because of the
direct nominations Law. Yet, II this be
true. the democrats have not been able to
profit from it. Wisconsin has yet to be
carried by a democratic candidate under
the popular system of nominations which
the republican politicians so deeply detest.

western sentiment will have an opportunity
