canism in Ohio, spealos for itself and
demonstrates that Governor Harris
NO. not have the support of his own
party in flling every appointment
for Governor Harmon and that the
bosses in their control of the leg
islature have moi the backing OF the
partyis most influential organs. The
editor of the State Journal says:
THE judicial decision in the rail
road commission case jibes well with
the lay opinion of what constitutes
Justice in the matter at issue. II the
courts ruling had been otherwise,
fair-minded men would stir have
been unable to see the ethical sound
ness of law which permitted an out
going governor TO relieve his sue
cessOr of the privilege and response
bility of choosing his own adminis-
trGtive associates. The law which
seemed to make possible this sort Of
thing was q piece of small politics,
of which advantage never ought to
have been taken, and 1t IS gratifying
THAT it's purpose has been nullitied.
Thus far in his administration
as in his previous public career.
Governor Harmon has shown himself
big, broad-minded man, whose chief
object is to do his du,y as he sees It,.
His disposition seems to be TO put
the interests Of the state above those
of his party or himself. Such man
ought no. to be handicapped by the
machinations of politicians on either
side of the fence"

of the night rIlier troubles in west

vigorously scored them for failure to

of the lawless element. Governo.
Wilson wrote upon pardons to the
newspaper company this reason:
1.-The long series OF crimes in
this district, wnihch have not been
punished under these officers admin
istraulon make it necessary for tnU
press to criticize all who can be hel:
responsible
"If the courts do not put an end
to the rule of crime in the counties
in which the judge and common
wealth's attorney are elected to up
hold law and order, the only hope
of permanent relief from such condi-
tions is an enlightened public SEN
timent aroused by the press Of the
country, and instead of furnishing
the newspaper wldch makes a fight
elgainst such conditions, II Should
be regarded as 6ulhlling its duty"

MIR. Cook (Rep., Colo.) also dds

TIE BOSSES TO BLAME

Now it is claimed from Columbus
that the senate is seriously con-
sidering confirming the appointment
by Governor Harmon Of j. c.. Sulli-
van to the railroad commission. This
1t is said was the attitude on Thurs
day. but there Is no telling what has
developed since then. II will be re-
membered that only a few days ago
ii was claimed that the taxation re-
fOluns, which the governor is adyo-
eating, wol1d be enacted before the
legislature adjourns. Then on the
following day it was said that bosses
Cox, Brown, Guilbert, Williams and
Phipps had gotten real busy and pre-
vented the taxation machinery from
getting beyond their grasp. As soon
as the bosses learn that the senate
is considering giving in and confirm
ing Governor Harmon's appointment
OF Sullivan, they may get read busy
again and put block in the way.
The developments at Columbus dur
ing the past few days have demon
Htrated pretty conclusiyely that the
Republican members of the general
assembly are not such n bad lot.
They have shown some disposition to
do the right thing by supporting
Governor Harmon in his effort to
give the people of Ohio a real busi-
nesslike administration by institmting
the REFORMS which he advocated dur
ing the campaign, reforms which ev-
cry right minded and fair minded
man will conceed to be most essen
tial TO the welfare Of the people of the
state. These senator's anu represen-
tattves too, when left alone long
enough, have shown that II they
were left entirely alone would prob
ably do the right thing, but when
ever they show signs Of conceeding
to the reasonable requests of the
governor, the bosses make their APP
pearance, wield that long party lash
and save the day for the machine.
The blow which was aimed by the
voters last fail, was directed at the
bosses. THAT 1t should have been
made a Knockout is being evidenced
now by the way the bosses are hold
dng their thmmbs upon the lesislat-
,ors and preventing every move which
would jeopardize their interests and
those OF the whole system. These
lFacts should be kept steadily in mind
by the voners. Another opportunity
will be afforded next year, and, re-
membering there should be COM
Glete cleaning out.
Some OF the Republican editors are
honest enough TO make the admission
that the general assembly is playing
petty po,itics in refusing TO acceed
10 the demands of the governor for
reforms. The foIlowdng editorial,

WHAT is THOUGHT -TIIANSFBR-
ENCE?
Under the trle OF Crime aud tnv
Crystal there Is an interesting art-
Gle in the March strand Magazine by
F.. A. H. Eyles. The author goes
deeply into his subject and gives
many marvellous examples OF crimes
having been discovered through the
medium of the crystal. lie asks thc
question whether tsiere is not some
scientGfllc explanation for these puz-
cling phenomena Of crystal vision
and replies by quoting Yoga, cele-
bTated London medium who still
p:ac5 lses in the British Metropolis.
Yoga DECLARED that the results obtain
ed by means of the crystal are due
TO thought t-transference, not neces-
sarily from the person consulting the
crystal-gazer, but th ouIsh him from
others
"It is possible" says Yoga, the
Medium, "for the crystal -gazer TO get
Information You are not aware on 4,
thrclutgh you, about your FRIEND Brown
and that 1t is all thought
Ience, the gazer getting 1t, not from
the spiT,t, as some persons may sup
pose, butt from Brown. In other
wos DIS, your subconsio.ous self in the
first place gets the impression that
has 10 be conveyed to the conscious
SELF and the vdsion is halluclnatlon
The use OF the crystal is It's aid rv
concentration and W'yua.hzaI1on."
AS a striking illustration of this
line of reasoning, Yolga quoted the
ken -attested case of mother in
England whose son, then serving in
India, was shot through the heart.
Al the moment OF the tragedy she
had, not in a crystal it is true,
but apparently before her very eyes
a vision of him standing by her
bedside. The explanation" Yoga
continued, 'Nis this, At the moment
of death person whose brain Is
not injured by disease has special
power of concentration---in one swift
moment, for example, person who
Is drowning VIII recall the expert
ences of a lifetime---and OF whom
would a person in the last moemnts
of life cut short by unforeseen
tragedy be likely TO think most? The
person he most cared for---in tht5
case his mother. TTansferecne Of
Thought does not seem to be limited
by distance any more than uhe trans
ference or messages by wireless tel
egraphy. Ii Affects, elhher near AZ

SCARLET BADGE
FOR TOPERS,

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 24 Especial
A red nose will not be the only means
by which a man who INDUCES too freely
in the flowing howl will be recognized in
Wisconsin if bill introduced by Sena-
tor Lehr of Appleton becomes a law.
The Appleton solon has made a study
of the various means by which the mu-
inequalities of the state have tried to SUD-
press the drinking habit among confirmed
topers. The booze gallery at Fond du
Lac came the nearest to solving the
problem although it was admitted by
those in charge that even there toner's
managed in some way TO get their ''eye-
openers" on occasions. Checklists had
been tried in many cases, but there WAS
always some loophole through which
the delinquent could crawl.
The result was seen this morning when
pill was introduced by Senator Lehr
granting the right TO the wife. or other
interested person, to file complaint
against husband, stating the person
complained of is wasting his properly so
as to expose his family 10 want because
of overindulgence in strong LIQUOR. Up0u
trial, II the facts are found true the
person complained of shall be posted
in all saloons Then comes the real live
part of the bill. The confirmed toner
shall be compelled, under penalty of the
law, to wear red button, at least two
inches III diameter, on his coat
Inc Appleton senator says that men
who will not be influenced in any other
way Will quail before publicity and he
proposes to push his bill to the utmost.

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 24-The
remarkable feature of the inaugural
souvenir issued by the committee III
charge of the inaugural ceremonies, is
a biographical sketch of President-elect
Taft by President Roosevelt. 1t has pc
culiar significance in view of rumOrs
that have been published to the effect
that friction existed between Roosevelt
and Taft. The keynote of the Presi-
dents sketch may be found in these
words:
mo man of better training, no man of
more dauntless courage, of common
sense and higher character has ever
come to the presidency than William
Howard Taft"
The President in concise terms pre-
cedes this statement with a history of
the PreSldent-elect, touching simply upon
the public achievements of the many. In
one place he says, referring to Taft as
solicitor general:
He won an enviable reputation. and
succeeded to a remarkable degree in
combining entire fearlessness in stating
and upholding his own convictions with
the ability to avoid giving needless
otfense to those whose convictions diff
fered from his. 1t is one of Mr. Taft's
great gifts OF usefulness that he pos
sesses exactly the ability unfinchingly
to stand by the right, and yet to do it
with the minimum of offensiveuess
toward those who do not see matters as
clearly as he does"
The President refers to Mr.. Taft's
judicial record, saying: at fell to Mr..
Taft to decide Il number of eases in
which he bazed in advance the trail
that all our judges must in the end fol-
low. This was notably the case both as
to corporations and of the rights Of
labor"
