THE CITIZENS DUTY.

Every citizen should remember it
is not only his privilege but duty to
take an active interest in the coming
primary election. Don't forget that
the village ard township officers make
the tax levy and expend the greater
part of the public money. Don't al
low yourself to think that the local
elections are of no importance, but
remember that the village officers can
MAKE or BREAK the town according to
the amount of wisdom and business
ability displayed in the transaction of
the public business. Bear in mind
that when you vote to elect man to
public Office you are simply employ
ing man to attend to YOUR public
business. You are employing men to
tell you HOW MUCH TAXES you are to
pay and these same men will SPEND
THE MONEY which you must dig up
and pay to the County Treasurer who
then pays that money back to your
Corporation, Township, and School
Board Treasurers who spend that
money according to the order of the
Council, the Trustees and School
Board. Don't set idly by and permit
incompetent men to be elected, and
then kick like mule because the tax
rate is high the next time you go over
to Bowling Green to pay your taxes
Every citizen knows the candidate
who is competent and every citizen
should use his good sense when he
has chance to vote, instead of being
like mule and kicking when it i:
too late.

A Famous Statue.

Charles Champoiseau, who has died
at nearly 80 years of age, owed his
fame to the find of a single statue
but one of the two or three most
beautiful in the world. 1t was he who
in 1863, discovered the Victory of
Samothrace," which rivals the Venus
di Milo" as the jewel of the Louvre
sculpture galleries. M. Champoiseau
was French consul in the Levant
when he was sent to excavate in the
Isle of Samothrace. The wonderful
winged figure and the galley PROV
on which she is poised were found in
120 fragments-not at once, but bit
by bit The excavations lasted sever
al years and the pieces were brought
in different lots to France. The re-
construction of the fragments was a
long task, which was admirably done.
The head. the arms and a great part
of the wings are missing, and there
is no hope now of recovering them,
but the movement of the incomplete
figure is marvel. and Champoiseau's
find ranks with the greatest antiques
extant.

LONG LIVE The KING.

Toledo has every reason to feel
proud of the success made of their
Wanda carnival. Considering that
it was the first attempt at anything
of the kind, and that Toledo has
plenty OF croakers and kickers who
are never satisfied with what others
do and never willing to do anything
themselves, and the magnitude of
the undertaking, the city and all
those who had part in the carnival
from the smallest contributor of cash
to the chief workers, smay we'll feel
that their work was success. There
were great crowds in the city every
day and night. They were well en-,
tertained and protected. The traffic
police kept the crowd orderly and
looked after all those who (as is al
ways the case) did not know enough
to take care of themselves, either
through forgetfulness, carelessness
ignorance or the acts of others.
If Toledo intends to make the oc
casion an annual event, we belieye
that the surrounding towns will al
ways be ready to furnish the crowds
to make the event success, provid
ed, however, that the standard of ex
cellence of the carnival is not allowed
to deteriorate, as was the case with
the Lucas county fair. The new Tole
do certainly wore broad smile all las
week, and the great crowds of people
from all parts of the country, smilec
with her. Long live the King, AMI
