in that sort of independent thought
and speech between campaigns
when it doesn't do any harm to
the machine. But when it comes
time to fix up the primaries and
pack the convention. Cox and
his co.ordinates will be con the
iob," just as they were last year
when Burton. Cox, Guilbert,
Brown, Vorys, Taft ct. al. were
engaged in their celebrated and
successful game of elimination.
Therefore, the sarcastic rebuff
of an indignant Republican editor
at the mere suggestion of dictatlon
from Washington in behalf of Bur
ton may be contrued llterally-o.
it may mean that Cox will run
things next year, as he has in the
past, even though the present
occupant Of the White House is
his fellow townsman. For Cox
has his own notion about common
enterprise" when it comes to state
affairs.
SO far as known Cox never shed
a tear when Charley Taft was
defeated for senator. He can find
use for Charley's bar'l in future
enterprise, common or uncommon.
By letting Burton slip into the
senate Cox can feel certain that
Burton is shelved for time where
even talk of a gubernatorial nomi-
nation won't hurt him-nor any
body else.
No wonder the Burton "feeler"
from Washington fell so flat.
When it comes time to name the
next Republican candidate for gov
ernor Cox will tell Burton, Brown,
Guilbert, Vorys, Taft ct al whom
they shall nominate, and it will be
done in way calculated to de-
ceive the rank and file into be-
lieving that they actually did
select their own candidate for gov
erno-. That Republican editor
who grew so eloquently indignant
about "dictstion from Washing
ton" will fall into line and be as
tractable as the lamb selected for
the slaughter. For some will be
fooled, but not all.
The people of Ohio, irrespective
of party politics, like the way
Governor Harmon has been clean
ing house, and they want the job
finished. They have their minds
made up now, and their campaign
slogan will be, Gwen make it
Harmon and clean sweep next
time,

It WAS TIME
FOR A CHANGE
$4,000 Graft Discovered AL.
ready In State Department.

Out of the several old claims
amounting to nearly $52, 900 for
! convict labor at the penitentiary
which the prison books show was
never paid by contractors, the half
was already evaporated.
These accounts were certified by
the new penitentiary board to the
attorney general, whose duty it is
to collect them. An attache of
the attorney generals office, after
examining the accounts, reports
that one. of the contracting firms
and all its securities, against
whom there is a claim for $26, 900,
are lnsolvent and that the claim is
uncollectable.
So 1t goes. Half of the amount
due the penitentiary under former
control absolutely worthless.
That is quite loss for the state
of Ohio to bear in the manage
ment of one institution. Why was
this worthless claim left so long on
the books? Why was it not found
out sooner that claim for $780,.
600 due the state from one concern
was uncollectable because all the
parties to the contract were insol-

Only few weeks ago a number
of Republican papers were twitt-

anything wrong anywhere since
his Inauguration. Let them tell

Some More Graft.

Assistant State Fire Marsha
John Henry Newman is courtesy
personified. Dispatched to Zanes
vile to find out why Deputy Mar
shall A. B. Worstall had not made
acknowledgment of the order of
Marshal Zuber removing him from
office on the ground he was a Re-
publican, Newman found that the
office for the rent of which Wor.
stall had drawn %S from the state
treasury every month was a room
in WorstalPs residence. There
was desk in it. The inventory
of the states property in the
deputy's possession called for a
rug and four chairs. These, New
man found in the Worstall dining
room, the Worstall family having
been accustomed to sitting in the
state chairs and putting their
feet on the state rug while par
taking of their dainty meals.
Bowing low and with hand on
heart, Newman informed Mrs.
Worstall and the young Worstalls
and the pater families how un-
pleasant duty he had to perform
in removing the rug, the chairs
and the desk, which appeared to
be 80 useful to the family. But
Newman got the goods.
Worstsil said absense on official
business was the reason he had not
replied sooner to the departments
letter.
Marshal Zuber said in some
cases room was rented for an of
flee for a deputy, but often the
deputies did their work at home,
and Worstall was the only one SO

Better Work at Mines

The mines have been working
nearly every day for the last three
weeks and times are brightnine
up little in the valley.
There is no money yet in circu-
lation but it is thought by the
tenth of next month there will be
good pay here and that the men
will have little money to pay on
their long standing accounts which
the merchants 80 much need.
1t is reported by good authority
that Mr.. Witzel, of Columbus,
General Supt. of Pittsburg mines,
said that there would be the best
work at the Pittsburg Mines from
this on until next spring, than
there ever had been for the last
ten years.

Bullets Cut Close.
Macarthur Enquirer.l


A week ago last Saturday Sher-
itf Williamson of Logan, and Dep
uty Sheriff j. S. Hunter of this
place went up to Swan township
to arrest VIM. Collins, indicted
recently by Hooking County grand
jury on charge of bootlegging in
Hooking County. When Collins
saw them coming he fled to the
the woods. The officers tried to
stop him by firing to scare him
but the more they fired the faster
Collins ran. Some of the bullets
cut twIgs not far from his head.
He made his escape. The officers
did not, of course, try to hit him.

Dear Comrade.-Comrade Shels

died on the 18th. of this month
and was buried Sunday, the Goth.
His was long illness from rheu-
matism, being sick about eight
months, in which time he was a
great sufferer.
He lived in Greendale, in Hook
ing county, o. He was married
shortly after the war, and to this
union were born twelve children,
ten sons and two daughters. His
wife died number of years ago.
He has always been a very hard
working man till he became affl'ct-
ed with rhematism. His children
have all grown up and married o

youngest daughter.
Sheldon Guees enlisted in Capt
Angles company, August 4, 1862,
and served to the close of the war.
He was wounded at Chickamauga,
Ga, in the ankle, which troubled
him all his life. He was u brave
soldier, faithful. always cheerful
and ready for duty or for fight,
brave as lion in battle, and a
congenial comrade in camp. He
and the writer formed the first file
of Co. +. Shoulder to shoulder
we have marched in many long
and weary marches, eide by side
we have stood in many hard fought
battles. Shelton and the writer,
Philip Banter and Henry She'd

and l am still left. Tears fill my
eyes as l think of comrade after
comrade dropping away from our

We did not get word in time to
attend the funeral, so we have none
of the details of his death and
funeral, but no doubt he was hon
