Nothing is more apparent than
that serious and earnest debate of
the tariff bill on the floor of the
Senate is absolutely essential, if
we are to have revision that is
anywhere near "hont st, or that
will approach n redemption of the
pledges given before election by
Judge Taft ard his colleagues who
tot k the stump.
L. seems to be i'm mpossible for
any of those senators who want the
tariff revised downward, in ac-
'ordance with promises, to delve
into any of the schedules proposed
by the Rhode Island dictator with.
out finding that reptiles of various
lengths, coloring and degrees of
wriggling ability are coiled tight
Y about them. The whole output
of the finance committee appears
to consist of veritabe den of
'snakes.'
Some of the honest revisionists
have attempted to discover Just
how dangerous these serpents are
They have employed men skilled
In statistics covering customs i'm
ports, the difference of cost here
and abroad and osher facts on
which tariff rates ought to be fig
ured. These men are giving much
study to the Aldrich abortion and
will be able to furnish the senators
with ammunition to be used on the
Senate floor.
Some such plan as this would
seem to be the only salvation for
the men of integrity who sit in the
Senate. Particularly is this so
because the President, according
to report, is in almost daily com
munication with Senator Aldricl.
And if the latter has thus far re-
Hected the Presidents sentiments,
it is obvious that Mr.. Taft is not
over. sensitive on the question of
redeeming the tariff pledges given
by his party and himself.

New Primary Law.

Occasionally and at rare inter
walls question will be asked or q
remark made relating to the com
ing municipal campaign next fall,
But by almost ninety. nine out of a
possible hundred people in Logan
the subject is almost never referred
to and presumably is unthought
of.
An entire set of village officers
is to be chosen, from mayor down.
The election Will be held in No
vember, but there is new primary
law now in effect which will stir
all candidates for nomination on
all tickets out of the bush dur
ing August.
This is the way it is. The pri,
mary at which candidates will be
nominated, will be held in all pre-
cincts on Tuesday, September 7th
Twenty days before the day all
who have any sort of bee in their
bonnet in order to be eligible to 60
before the primary, will have to
have certified their names to the
board of elections as candidate
for certain and specific Office and
each name so certified will have to
be accompanied by list of sigma
lures of qualified voters of the city,
representing not less than two per
cent of the votes cast for the in
cumbent in the ollice, thus sought
at the last preceding election. No
individual has the right to sign
more than one petition for the
same office, and, in signing any
petition presented by any candi-
date, the signer thus pledges him.
self to support that candidate in
primary although he does not
pledge himself to support him in
the election. ..:.
In brief and so far as this new
primary law interests the public in
general, these are the salient facts
concerning it and 1t only remains
to be added that the coming mum,
cipal election will have been the
first choosing officials who are
nominated in this manner. There
can be no dark horses under this
new primary law and there will be
no immediate surprise insofar as
candidates are concerned, for, un-
der the provisions of the new law
the gong will ring on candidates
in August, whereas the election
will not be held until November.

Akron Working Men Protest.

where Mr.. Taft made a speech

Akron three years before.
We hope none of the working

protests. 1t is inconsderate to
protest against getting what one
votes for. Besides, after COM

OIL AND
GAS TALK

Columbus, o May 0 In sew
eral counties of this state the
farmers are oil and gas mad. 1t
is due to the discovery of oil in
the Bremen fields, about fifty miles
south of Columbus, two years ago.
Since then wave of speculation
has been sweeping through Perry,
Hooking, Fairfield, Vinton and
Athens counties. More than one
hundred companies bave been or
ganized, and oil exchanges have
been op.ned in Newark, Columbus,
New Lexington, Athens, Lancas
ter, Junction City, Somerset, Lo-
gan and other places. The Stand.
ard Oil company is pumping into
its tanks in Bremen from l,500 to
1000 barrels of oil day from
these fields.
Every foot of land in five coun-
ties is owned or leased by corpora
tioas which are hopeful of finding
the lin BODY of this product.
Biologists have stated with great
emphasis that an immense cavern
of oil, which will be worth many
millions of dollars, will sumo day
be found. That is why the well
diggers are following the belt of
Berea and Clinton sands, in which
the oil is found, from Bremen in a
southeasterly direction to Buchtel,
which makes part of the southern
territory of the Columbus and
Hooking Coal IL Iron company,
where oil has been found in Berea
sand,
With the exception of the hold
ings of the Columbus, Hooking
Coal & Iron company, nearly every
foot of ground has been prospect
ed. Operations on tho territory of
that corporation have been con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy.

company owns whole townships

Worried About Ohio.

Senator Dick has denied the
statement that he is opposed to
the appointment of Willis G. Bow
land, of Columbus, as internal
revenue collector to succeed David
ii. Moore, of Athens. He is for
Mr.. Bowland, but like Senator
Burton is not disposed to press the
matter too much because Of the
habit the president has of receiving
senatorial recommendation and
then selecting some man of his own
choice which, while perhaps pleas,
ing to the president, is decidedly
embarrassing to the senators.
The senators have practically
yielded to make no recommends
tions until they first have the
positive assurance OF the chief ex-
ecutive that the man on whom
they agree will receive the place
for which they ask. They feel it
will weaken their power at home
if they put their o, X on men on
ly to find that the president COM
pletely ignores them.
The president himself is also
much worried about the Ohio stu
alton and is endeavoring to devise
some plan by which he can restore

November Z, 1906 marked new
era in the life of Lucy, for on this
date she was united in marriage
with Charles G. Reinschid. No
queen ever ruled with more digni

her humble home; this was her
paradise, here true love reigned
She was given to hospitality, loved
her neighbors and friends and
strove to make them happy. She
was economic in everything except
love and goodness which she lavish

grateful for all courtesies and was
never more happy than when Civ

ask this question by the reports
from President Taft to attend

who gathered outside of st. John's

Near Beer Not Taxable.

A decision handed down by the
Circuit Court in Session at Cam
bridge, Ohio, will be of great in
terests % residents in dry counties.
In substance the Circuit Court
rendered an opinion that ''near
beer" is not under the Aiken law
or subject to the Aiken tax. The
Circuit Court reversed the decision
of the Common Pleas Court, of
Guernsey county, In the case of
Jacob A. Toilette, who as
County Treasurer, upon the advice
of County Prosecutor Q. S. Shep
pard, was seeking to collect about
5000 from John Murray, the pro,
prietor of an establishment in
which "near beer'' was sold. The
case will be appealed to the Ohio
Supreme Court.

the presence of lumber with which
the derricks are built. The Bre-
men belt is pretty well defined
down through the valley by the
presence of several hundred der
ricks, which stretch toward the
southeast in seemingly endless
chain.
From the line of the railroad for
25 miles out of Columbus one can
see stacks of lumber and derricks
in the course of construction.
Most of the wells are located about
two miles northeast of Bremen and
stretch away toward to Clarksville.
The tendency of other operators is
to follow the sands to the south
east. One of the latest discover
les is at Crossenvi.le. On Febru-
ary 28 a we'll was shot which has
been producing on an average of
20 barrels of oil a day.
Within the last week more than
so derricks were erected within
five square miles of Crossenville.
Then came day with mere ex-
citement. In boring for oil in the
heart of Maxville gas was found
at depth of $500 feet. This
we'll will produce 100000 cubic
feet of gas day, and the owners
are as Jubllant as though they had
uncovered a 20O-barrel we'll. At
Webb Summit, about two miles
from Maxville, company opened
a we'll which produces moro than
100 barrels day.
1t is expected that one OF the
greatest strikes in the history of
the oil development of the country
will be found at Kachelmecher, in
which is located the veins of clay
from which millions of building
brick are made every month. A
geolo yist of wide renown, who has
made a study of the Ohio fields, is
authority for the statement that
Clinton sand will be found to n
depth of 5000 feet in the vicinity
of Kachelmacher, and it would not
