Samuel Snider, of 1880 Gran.
vile Street, Columbus, president
of the j. j. Snider Lumber Com.
pany, who passed part of the week
in Chicago, was cheered iE Gar
field Boulevard in that city Thurs.
day afternoon by school children,
who mistook him for the President
Taft.
Mr.. Snider was with party in
his brothers. auto. His resem-
blance to the president is close,
and when the auto passed slowly
along where the children had been
massed to greet the president In
the morning, the children, with
their minds full of Taft, at once
jumped to the conclusion it was
the president returning to his
hotel. They began to cheer, which
made Snider smile. Entering in
to the spirit of the occasion, he
took off his hat and gratlfied the
excited children by bowling tn
right and left.
When they called on him for a
speech, however, he had to explain
his identity.

Source of MIR. Harriman'S
Wealth.
Source

There is authority now for stat
ing that Mr.. Harriman's estate ia
worth SS5, 1000, 900, and he made IT
all in fifteen years; that is, he
made nearly $4,000, 900 year.
Immediately some one will say,
well he is entitled to it; it is the
fruit of braInwork, and he gave to
the country, at least, as much as
he got out of it, in the way of en-
terprise and better railroad SER
vice and equipment" "
There is much in this sugges
tion that is true. Out West, where
the Hartman lines run, the peo-
pie think he has been great bene-
factor. His fight to beat Hill has
brought great advantages to the
country. But the question is,
where did he get this S5 millions
He must have made it off of some
body. He didn't snatch it from
the air or scoop it from the sea-
shore. He didn't get 1t off of Hill
or Stuyvesant Fish. No, he got it
from the people. That is the
source of every dollar man makes,
1t finally figures in his bread
and meat and the clothes he wears.
Thus he ia assessed to make Mr.,
Harriman's great fortune. Now
the question is, Is there any way
by which the people get back the
money they invested in Mr.. Harri.
man. This is a great economic
problem, and the solution has not
been universally accepted, as yet.

Governor Harmon Makes EN-
Hop.

Only few days ago certain Re-
publican papers were chuckling
that Governor Harmon had failed
to substantiate claims of graft in
the state house that were made
during the campaign last year.
LAS everybody knows" said one
of them, she has fallen down on
his graft charges. The editors
of these papers probably thought
the people had already forgotten
how Governor Harmon had cleaned
out the fire marshe's office and
cleaned up some state institutions
that had been furnishing scand ais
for years.
Unfortunately for such short
sighted Republican editors, while
they thought that Governor Har-
mon was doing nothing but taking
vacation at Charlevoix and that
"as everybody knows he has fallen
down on his graft charges, he
was attending strictly to business
and, among other things, was
looking over the accounts of the
state board of public works to see
how its members were getting
$500 per year out of fixed salary
of $4,000, and also how the board
could work part time and draw
full pay.
AS was to be expected, the gov
ernor's detractors were furious
when he brought up the state
board of public works on it's hind
legs with polite request to show
the why and wherefore of that
5000 "perk" for running eXpen-
ses." At least the running ex-
penses" could hardly be justified
ON the ground that one member of
the board had run for third term
and got 1t.
No sooner did Governor Harmon
touch the b. P. w. on the raw
than the bowling dervishes of the
z. o. p. machine began to shrek
that Governor Harmon was "play-
ing politics" again. For the b,
p. W. is an accredited part of the
e. o. p. machine and very dear to
the bosses. Now when you lay
violent hands on the perks and
pickings of any pet of the bosses
then you do touch the galvanic
nerve Of his patriotism, 1t makes
him howl and all his sympathizers
howl in chorus.
OF course the controversy is not
over yet, and probably will not be
until it is ground through the
courts.
Whatever the outcome Governor
Harmon's cheap political critics
will not cheep for awhile about
his falling down on graft charges.
They can't tell where this "derned
epidemic" is likely to break cut
next.
