The Last Call

During the last six months we
have sent several statements to each
of our customers who are due us eth
re on note or account.
Quite a number have paid no at
tention whatever, othes have not
settled. This is not optional with
us as we must collect all outstanding
debst in order TO settle with the
estate ofthe late j. s. Moss.
This is positively the last call and
if you force us to place your account
or note in the hands of an officer you
can't blame us. We would much pre-
fer settling with you personally and
save US both this unnecessary ex.
pense.

AldrlCh and Cannon.

Describing the effect Of Presi-
dent Taft's Des Moines speech on
Wall street and the interests, the
Springfield Republican expresses
the opinion that they are not much
frightened since Aldrich and Can
non are running this country, and
what the president says doesn't
go. There is soma ground for be.
lieving there is n good deal of
apprehension Eere. President Taft
doesn't run congress. Aldrich end
Cannon do. What the president
declares does not necessarily get
into the law. A. and C's consent
must first be obtained.
So Cannon and Aldrich are the
issue and how to get rid of them
is the problem. for. all the good
purposes that President Taft has
declared in that Des Moines speech
won't amount to as much as a
wind down the valley, IL these two
great men engineer the affairs of
the country. 1t is plain question,
whose ideas shall prevail, the peo.
ple's or these two men'sp Any
body who can look out in the street
and hear men talk knows there is
steep divergence between public
sentiment and this pair Of legisla-
tors.
There is no personal or political
animosity toward these two men.
1t is only the universal belief that
they coincide with the interests
and do not comprehend the cause
of the people. The president said
kind word for Senator Aldrica,
but the people have not changed
their opinion-Ohio State Journal

In His Own Country.

Senator Aldrich of Rhode lslar d
does not seem to be so we'll Known
by President Taft as he is by the
people of his own state. For ex.
ample, the Journal of Providence,
r. l., one of the best known news
papers in the state, thus replies to
the Endorsement given Aldrich by
Mr.. Taft at Boston:
"When Mr.. Taft credits Mr..
Aldrich with an earnest desire to
aid the people" he attributes to
him benevolence which even the
people of his own state have not
known him TO possess "
A senator may be without honor
in his own state for various reas-
ons, but il is reasonable TO assume
that Aldrich would attract little
attention and have less power in
the senate were it not for his alli-
ance with the Rockefeller family
by marriage.
The PEOPLE of Rhode Island
must be Very stupid indeed that
they cannot detect in their sena.
tors record any such benevolent
purpose as the president attributed
to him. Or else Mr.. Taft does
not know Al6rioh as well as his
constituents know him.

are thrusting their hands deeper
into their own pockets to dig up
the tariff tolls imposed as the fret
accomplishment Of the Taft ad-
ministration. There will be de-
termined effort to distract atten-

ing throughout the disgusted west.
This also is an old trick-to stam-
pede state campaign with a
national hippodrome to befool into
forgetting all about state affairs
to their own detriment because of
the clamor to "hold up the hands
of the president" that conceals
the great design to "save the
gang"
Governor Harmon's prospects
for the presidency depend on
neither reelection nor defeat.
His standing in the nation is
bottomed on something more sub.
stantial than opportunism, al.
though Republican com mentaries
try to give it that appearance.
There are great issues and epoch
making conditions, with which the
state affairs of Ohio have nothing
to do, that cause the people of
the nation to turn toward him with
high expectations because they
realize the increasing need of a
strong and firm hand at Washing
ton. His ability does not require
the test of reelection nor would
public confidence be weakened by
defeat. Judge Samuel H. Cowan,
of Ft. Worth, Texas, made that
point perfectly clear when he said
in recent interview at Washing.

the Democrats should nominate,

he should be defeated next year in

nor of Ohio"
Therefore the frenzy of Repub.
llcan editors about that elf" only
betrays their fear. In their over
anxiety about 1910 they are borrow.
ing too much trouble about 1912.
Meanwhile Governor Harmon
goes right on attending strictly to
the business which the people of
Ohio entrusted to him. His way
of going about it and stricking to
it apparently multiplies the fears
Republican editors are betraying,
whether they look into the proba-
bilities of 1910 or scan the posi-
bilities of 1912.

Dick on the Alert.

A new pretext has been con-
jured up for killing the primary
election law. Enemies of Senator
Dick would repeal the law or emas-
culate it 30 as to shut out the
Akron senator who voted 90 times
for the Taft. Aldrich tariff bill to
Burtons' SO times. For Dick in
sists that he will seek an endorse
ment by primary, and announce
that he will begin his campaign as
soon as the approaching municipal
elections are out of the way.

take the necessary steps to submit
my candidacy to the Republican
voters of Ohio under the primary
law as it stands, just as l aesume
others will do who desire to be
candidates..
By beginning Immediately after
the local elections in November,
Senator Dick will have nearly two
months in which to lay the net.
work of primary canvass before
the legislature with a Republican
majority IN both branches can get
into action. He might reasonably
expect, under ordinary circum-
stances, that Republican legis-
lature would hesitate to upset his
foundations.
But the circumstances are not
ordinary. The same hostile forces
which fixed up "primary"
scheme that slaughtered Foraker
without the benefit of clergy
would now go to any length to
eliminate Dick without benefit of
clergy, undertaken or mourners for
the funeral.
The circnmstanc es are extra
ordinary = and the legislature
which ratified the elimination of
Foraker is still in existence.

Big Haul for Concord.

town in the state of Ohio.
Over $4,000 has already been
paid into into the treasury of the
village this week by the Zsnes-
Vile saloonists who were convict
ed of violating the Rose county
local option law, as result of the
crusade by the Civic League of
this city. Fourteen more saloonists
will be arraigned within the next
few days to pay their 5000 and
costs, which were assessed against
them by Mayor Campbell, of New
Concord.
The bonded Indebtedness of New
Concord is $4,000, the last INSTALL
ment of which amount will become
due in 1914. These bonds were
issued for the construction of a
town hall. Records show the viii

Still Worrying About Governor
Harmon.

Editors of certain Republican
newspapers have acquired the
harmless habit of telling their
readers that Governor Harmon s
nomination for present depends on
his reelection next year. They
appear to have some difficulty
about making their readers believe
it or they would not repeat the
solemn assurance 30 often.
1t pleaseth these all-wlse politi.
cal seers to observe with an as
sumed air of ponderous sagacity
that Governor Harmon will surely
receive the presidential nomlna-
tion of his party if-and they
twist and turn that "if" around
in every conceivable probability
that can be dovetailed into the
campaign in Ohio next year.
In all this these self constituted
advisers extraordinary TO the
Democratic party have a double
purpose. They would have it ap.
pear that Governor Harmon 8
candidacy for reelection would be
mere preliminary to the nation
al campaign in 1912 so as to mini.
mize, if possible, its great import
ance to the state of Ohio. They
would be only too glad to have the
people forget matters relating to
better state government that have
been set afoot by Governor Har-
mon if it be possible to promote
forgetfulness by engrossing public
attention with larger facts Or
fancies of national politics. This
is an old trick, enticing people to
overlook and neglect their immedi-
ate interests with lure that leads
over and beyond into the more
distant future.
The other purpose is to give
what should be strictly state
campaign the eclat of national
contest so as to invoke all the
power of the national administra-
tiJn, both patronage aud pelf, to
save Ohio. " 1t will be made the
persuasive influence for an extra
shake of the plum tree. 1t will be
set forth as the prime necessity
for corruption fund gathered
from the four corners of the nation
to ''save the gang" in the sem.
blanee of winning an endorse
ment of administration at Wash
ington." 1t would mean a hip
and hurrah TO "hold up the hands
