HARMON'S VICTORY

The Inauguration today of Judson
Harmon as governor of Ohio is the
closing act in one of the greatest
political dramas which was ever
enacted upon any stage and partica-
larly upon the Buckeye stage. For
years the Republicans, up until John
NJ Pattison's time, have had complete
control Of the state machinery from
the governor ON down. Three years
ago a Democrat was inducted into
office, the only man on his ticket 10
be elected Some great things in the
way of reforms were promised and
begun under Governor Pattison, but
his campaign and The strenuousneas
of the governors office proved too
much for him and he succumbed
only a few months after his inaugl
ration, to be succeeded by Republl.
,an and the entire tate government
vas turned over again to the Repub.
leans.
AT a time when conditions were
least promising because of the nat
onal and state elections coming at
the same time, Judson Harmon was
named by the Democrats and in a
ca.npaign in which nauona! and
state issues figured prominently he
was successful II is a fact that Ohio
was never known to go Democratic
In a presidential election, but it
came just as near to doing 1t this
time as dt ever did. A Democratic
governor was elected and at the
same time the Republican candidate
for the presidency carried the state
by a handsome, though greatly re-
duced majority 1t must be conceded
that a very strong man was required
to turn the trick, Judson Harmon Is
one OF the strongest men the state
could produce, in either party. He
is recognized the country over as one
of the big, brainy men of the naticn
and his selection by the people OF
his home state as their governor is |
one of the greatest recommendations
which could be given to him.
Since the election, the remark has
frequently been made that Judscn
Harmon Is too big a man for gov
ernor of Ohio This is a mistake.
Nothing is too good for state like
Ohio and the best man in the whole
nation is, none too good to be the
chief executive of this state.
While we are not willing to con-
oede that Harmon is too big man
to be the governor of Ohio, we are
willing to admit that he Is
big enough to be the president of
the United States: It must be re-
that he viii have ample
time TO fll out his present term as
governor and then serve his second
term as governor before the time for
apother presidential election.
FGovernor Harmon should feel

MERE BOYS PLAY

The people are just now being
given a sample of what the presi.
dent and congress are capable of do.
ing when they get wires crossed and
have a few differences Only a few
days ago, the president sent a spe
cial message to congress- dealing
more fully with the secret service
men to whom the house and senate
have taken exceptions The annual
message, that is to say the regular
one, dealt in one paragraph with
this subject and the house took some
exceptions to the statements which
were contained in that paragraph.
The members were not modest about
stating their dislike for the attitude
OF the president This raised the ire
of the president and he decided at
'once to send congress a special mes
sage on this subject and say some
things "what is" to IL. Accordingly.
doubtlesS'y in the heat of anger, he
sat down and dashed off a message,
doubled it up and fired it. over TO
congress. Neither branch Of congress
was in any mood to receive such
message and the result was that salt
was rubbed into the wounds and
matters were made much worse than
they were after the first roundup.
The house Immediately appointed
special committee to recommend
proper action for the house to take
in self defense That committee has
decided and reported that the Ian
guage used by the president in his
annual and special message was not
as respectful as it should be and that
the dignity of every member of the
house has been wounded, therefore,
the part of the annual message and
the special message referring TO the
secret service should be wholly
ignored and laid upon the table. The
next step in the drama will doubt
Ie sly be another message from the
president, or a long letter from him
in the newspapers.
The president and congress have
oeen at logger heads for some time. |
In fact ever since President Roosevelt
began advocating reforms he has
had congress to fight. The opposition
never before became so open and
so manked as it has since his last
assembled, but it has been
growing all of these yeaus. Had
Roosevelt bowed to, the will of a
OF his party and accepted
another term as president, there is
no telling what a condition might,
have arisen between him and con-
gress before the expiration of an
other four years. II the developments
In the present conS-1cc cc-'-t be TAX

before another four years the deyel-
at Washington would be =
similar TO those in Breathitt county.
Things have come to a pretty pass

Cosby in his opening testimony said
that he went to the Sclater home and

Statements of Attorneys.
After the jury had been sworn the
attorneys made their statements TO
the Jurors. The plaintiffs counsel said
they expect to snow that Mr. Sclater
