A Business Governor.

1t is very evident that Judson
Harmon will not be figure head
of governor. He will go down
into Ohio history as the man who
does things. Governor Harmon
proposes to put the state on busi-
ness basis. He will not be content
to let the work of single branch
be done without his insight and
supervision. Just now he is in
vestigating the state buildings.
Later on he will make tour of
inspection along the canals to note
the actual condition of the state
waterways. He proposes to keep
busy throughout his entire admin
istration and the business of the
state will be transacted with all
the business ability that would
mark Judson Harmon's admins

The Southland.

BY Mrs Sarah Weaver, Amelia, c. II Val
The south is a great section of
our greater country. From the
fertile fields of Virginia to where
southern suns have locked their
sunshine in the golden sheaf, to
the wide plains of Texas, where in
snowy masses is gathered in har-
vest that clothes the world; from
the green pastures of old Ken
lucky, where lucious blue grass
has developed the most perfect
type of the grandest animal the
| world has ever seen, to the groves,
glades and shades of scenery Flor
ida, where grows every fruit that
can tempt the palate of mortal
man The south is wonderful
country in agricultural resources.
No section of these United States
possesses greater riches of soil and
greater variety OF soil conditions
com bined with mildness of eli
mate that fosters all things tina,
grow. No section of the country
is making more rapid strides in
industrial development at this
time. The smoke of factories and
the hum Of splndles literally fill
the land, More than this, the i'm
proved methods Of agriculture are
improving the land, clothing fields
with grass where grass was not
won't to grow, and refurnishing
the forms with comforts and con-
veniences that will turn the best
of young men and women back to-
them from the nerve.racking toll
aud annoying din of the cities.
Furthermore, there is great

of live stock in our system of ag-
riculture. So from every point of
view, we are ready to consider the
value of sheep to southern farmers,
it is well to reflect upon these
things that mean progress and fit
ness. The more We know of our
country and it possibilities the
more we will love it, the more we
will labor for our homes and the
greater gla6ness and joy will we
bring to our iiresides. Along with
our New Years cheer and resolu.

New York, Jan. 29.-In all the
history OF the men that go down
to the sea in ships, there is nc
more wonderful incident than that
of the manner in which the men on
the wireless, talking through leag-
ues of fog, saved the lives of the
thousand odd on board the steam
ship Republic. 1t was not that
they sat at their keys for 50 hours,
without wink of sleep. "That's g
a part of the game, as little red
whiskered Jack Tattersall, the
operator on the Baltic, said. 1t
is the fact that they were able to
talk at all. Had it not been for
this most modern invention, there
can be little doubt that this dis
aster would have ranked with
that of the Bourgogne, which
went down with all the hands some
years ago.
When Florida crashed into the
Republic little Jack Binns was
asleep in his berth on board the
latter vessel. That berth, as is
always the case, was set up right
by the side of his instrument.
Throughout the night it may be
that signals had been received by
the hammock of copper wires
which stretch between the stubby
masts on the steamers deck. Like
another telegraph operator, his
trained senses had permitted him
to disregard those that had no need
of answer. The Florida, without
a wireless instrument, was ap.
preaching through the fog
When the crash came good part
OF the wireless cabin wss torn
away. Binn's berth was smashed
and he was thrown out upon the
floor in his pajamas.
He didn't have to be told what
to do. Although the electric
lights were even then dimming, as
the water rushed in below and
stopped the engines, he hurried to
the store.room, where extra parts
and supplies were kept. He climb
cd upon deck with those needed
to restore his instrument to activ.

Cox-Burton Alliance.

A Republican paper at Colum-
bus makes this statement: "Mr.
Burton has made it known that he
wants probe of state departments
but not to be inserted by the Dem
ocratic governor "
This ia decidedly interesting. 1t
reveals the real Mr.. Burton, who
has posed 80 long as genuine,
simon. pure statesman with an an
tipathy to bosses and an abhor-
renee of machine politics.
Mr.. Burton does not differ much
from Boss Cox and Republican Of
ficials at the state house in object.
ing to q probe being inserted by a
Democratic governor. The only
difference is that Mr.. Burton him.
self is not in the line of investiga-
tion. Gf he objects to a probe be.
ing inserted by a Democratic gov
ernor then his sympathies are with
those who need Investigation by u
Democratic governor.
This being the present attitude
of Mr.. Burton, it is easy to under
stand what Chairman Williams of
the State Republican committee
and w. FL. phipps, state oil in
spector, were doing in Washington
last week. During the senatorial
contest Phipps was lieutenant of
the same Charles p. Paft who
made the motion that George B.
Cox be chosen for chairman Of the
Hamilton county delegation to the
state convention last year. Broth
er Charley gave as his reason for
wanting Cox at the head of the
delegation that, "We should select
some one who has the confidence
of us all and who has the respect
of loyal Republicans"
fCox can reach Burton through
Taft and Phipps, and head off an
other investigation of Cincinnati,
it will be worth to him the cost of
several trips to Washington. For
Mr.. Burton could as consistently
object to further probing of Gin.
cinnati as he does to having a
probe thrust into state depart
ments by Democratic governor.
What Mr.. Burton evidently
wants, in preference to probing of
state departments by a Democratic
governor, is a probe that will
whitewash departments occupied
by Republican officials. An in
vestigation that would end with
"eyery cent paid in, every cent
paid out, every cent accounted for,
everything o. k.'' would suit both
Cox and Burton. If that kind of
probing is authorized by this Re-
publican Legislature the people
will understand that there is an
alliance between Burton and Cox,
and that Phipps Is merely the
umbilicus.

Binns had just time to give the
latitude and longitude when the
power went out for the time being
In the dark little room at Siascon-
set the operator plunged at his
key. That imperative call &C. @
d." rang in the ears of every
wireless operator within range
of two hundred miles. AS fast as
he got the reply, he gave the loca-
tion of the doomed vessel, and the
cause of her injury. From half a
dozen points the sea great liners
wheeled in their tracks and start
ed for the crippled boat. La Lor-
raine, enmeshed in a fog like a
bean in platter of soup, described
great circle toward Nantucket,
her engine never slackening. and
getting what little news the
Siasconset operator could give,
started to find the sinking Re-
public. The Baltic was caught on
her way in, and she, too, began to
hunt over that fog blackened sea.
SO did the Lucania and two or
three others. A navy tug caught
the signal, and began to feel its
way over the sea toward the in
jured boat. Every ship within
hearing of the signal ran to the
rescue.
Jack Binns, sitting in his room
had felt the power 60 out of his
instrument. That meant the
dynamos below are dead. Feeling
his way in the dark, for at that
time the sun had not risen, and
the mist covered the vessel like
shroud, he got to the repair room
again. Half dozen sailors were
impressed into his service, and he
managed to couple up his instru.
ment to the storage batteries,
which had been installed by what
seems an act of Providence for this
very voyage. The batteries gave
him radius of only sixty miles,
and he was forced to save them
as much as possible, lest the dying
Republic be left voiceless upon the
sea. And all the time his chill
ing wires gave off faint tinkles
and little crashes, which told him
that the rescuers were charging
across sunless sea to their aid.
1t was the Baltic's man, Jack
Tattersall, that shared with Jack
Binns of the Republic the spot
light on this occasion. Hour
after hour, while bite to eat and
drop to drink was brought to
them, to stand untouched as they
jammed at the key, these men sat
