Inventory Bill Emasculated.

Along with its numerous other acts
of pal'tisan obstruction 10 the ad-
ministration of Governor Harmon the
Republicans made party meas
ure" of the bill for AN inventory OF
sta.e property, and emasculated 1t
lby strict party vote.
When Governor Harmon assumed
the duties of his office he was aston
ished by the discovery that no in
yentory is kept OF the states
property in any of It's departments
or institutions. He could not actu-
ally know what furniture belonged
in the governors office except what
he found there when he took pos
session.
IA grocery, dry goods store, manu-
Featuring establishment, railroad or
amy other kind OF business concern
that would do business by such
loose methods would soon go to the
WALL. But the state of Ohio does
business THAT way with its approx
mately OO,OOO,OOO worth of prop
erty.
Almost the first official act OF Gov
emor Harmon was TO order an in
venItory of the states property in the
adjutant genmajl's department, and
in his first message to the legisla-
dure he recommended legislation re-
duiring this TO be done in every
state department and institution.
1t was absolutely a business propo-
Eition but the Republican senators
did not scruple to drag 1t into pol
itics.
The Brenmer bill as passed by the
house provided that the first inven-
/ tory should be made this year by
three disinterested persons, who
should also fix an appraised value on
all property listed as a basis for
future inventories. This basic inYen-
tory and vouchers for all purchases
made hereafter would stop leak
that has cost the state thousands OF
dollars for every article purchased
would have to be accented for in
future invoices.
The sections covering these pro-
visions were stricken out by the
Republican, members Of the senate
Judiciary committee, and by a strict
party vote the minority report to
restore these sections was defeated
As the bill now stands on the SEN
ate calendar 1t Is practically worth
less. 1t leaves the inventories to be
made by officials now in charge who
are personally interested and could
cover up whatever discrepancies may
exist by padding the invoice.
This Is an unfortunate thing To
fall upon the heads of the many
honest and honorable men who are
serving as trustees of state inBtitu.
tions but it is the plain implication
OF the extraordinary action Of the
Republican majority In the senate
and makes stronger the general be,
lief that Governoc Harmon should

men has surrounded the David Bren-

awaiting the coming OF daylight to
attemlpt again his arrest on lun-
acy charge. An Intellectual attempt
to smoke him out by starting fire

RIGHT IN THE FIGHT

In passing the Woods bill, the
Democrats in the house have won
one of the greatest victories which
the minority mas scored in many
years. The bill was introduced by
Republican, but 1t was along the
line which was advocated by Gov
ernor Harmon. The Governor in
formed the Dedocrats I'M the house
and senate that he desired the
measure passed and they got behind
it with a vengeance. The Repubi-
cans of the house we're caught on
the hips The Democrats made II
clearly a non7partdsan measure and
refused TO permit the opposition to
inject paEiisanfsm into the consid-
eratiUn. In dhis manner the bill
was made to pass the house. II Is
now up TO the senate to take action
on the bill. There is a strong prob
albility thar it will not be allowed
TO pass the senate. The senate is
more completely under the thumbs
Of the bosses, and as the time is get
ting short, this will be made an
excuse for not acting upon the
measure. lt matters not what The
senate does with the measure, the
TACT remains that the house has done
everything in its power to carry out
tine will of the governor and this is
because Of the loyal supopn which
has been given by the Democrats in
forcing the majority into the corner
and making it impossible for it tc
refuse TO vote for the Woods bill.
In the fight upon the floor Of the
house Tuesday, Hon. William T.
Smith, Marion counrys representa-
tive, took very active part and tC
him in great dSgFse9is due the honoi
for placing the opposition in such
close quarters. In telling of the
fight, the Cincinnati Enquirer has
the following TO say of Mr.. Smith q
effort:
Representative Smith, of Ma
rion, in a well balanced speech,
podnGed out that it would be vi
Olatiou off good business sense
no go away without making suit
able provision ror the increas-
ing expenses, and he pleaded for
the abandonment of party pol
dtics in considering surh mat
tiers. "
About the statefDuse 1t is conced.
ed that Mr.. Smith made one of thu
mosa fqrcebin speeches of the day
In favor OF the bill. 1t is beint
clearly demonstrated each day, thaa
the voteIS made no mistake wher

SlLENCER IS
SUCCESSFUL

There was demonstration of the
new Maxim rifle silencer at the Gun
Club yesterday afternoon. A large
crowd of local sportsmen was present
to witness the demonstration and ev-
erybody concurred that the new inven-
ton is conspicuous success.
The silencer is a short metal tube
about seven inches in length and about
twice the diameter of the rife barrel.
This is fitted excentrically on to the
end of the barrel, in such a way that
the larger arc of the tube drops below
the rife barrel and does not obstruct
the sight.
|. There was a demonstration silencer in
section and it looks like nothing so
much as miniature Parsons turbine
opened up and with the rotary taken
out. It is fitted, in fact, with a very
eoars rifing threaded close and in an
opposite direction to the rifing of the
barrel. This catches the gases after
the bullet has left the barrel and re-
verses their movement SO that the sound
is deadened and the shock of recoil al.
most entirely eliminated.
! The demonstrating rifle was Win
chester .30-.30 and many of those pres
| ent took shots with and without the
/ silencer. The difference in sound is tru-
| ly surprising while the recoi difference
! is very marked. With a 40 grain
(, cartridge the rifle makes not as much
| noise as %, in fact one hears moth,
| ing of the explosion, but only the zing
| of the bullet.
With low charge cartridge the rifle
makes no more noise than an air-gun
in fact, if not looking, one would fee
| sure that it was an air-gun that had
been fired The silencer is easily fit

it were an invention that has come to
