Towboats on Western Rivers.

Some of the inland towboats reach huge proportions. The largest ever built to ply the western rivers tows coal on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. It is made almost exclusively of steel and is twice as pow erful as the next largest boat. The coal towing capacity of this peculiarly con- structed steamer when In barges holding 12OO0 bushels each would cover an area qeual to a city block.
 The fact that the river boats are still built on the same lines as those of 50 years ago Is not due to lack of invention on the part of the builders but they are retained on account of the peculiaritles of the streams on which they are used Exhaustive tests have proved that the old original type of construction with the stern wheel is far better than any of the other types.

HORSE WITH HUMOR.
Some RecoIlections From the Man
 Who Knew Him Well.


 From the New York Sun.
 "We hear a lot about horse sense,' said the man who stood on the promenade of the Brooklyn bridge and watched the crowded roadways, but I'm thinking It will soon become a memory when the automobile holds full sway, as 1t seems in fair way to do. Certainly we won't have such a thing as automobile sense.
 'I feel sorry for the horse as I see It losing it's place in the world for sofne of my liveliest recolections have to do with horse, with a particular horse that my boyhood knows. Funny, isn't 1t, that a horse or a cat or dog will stick in the mind longer than some hu- mans.
 This horse was a big, black, ugly tempered brute who went by the name of Old Bob. He was old when 1 first knew him and was no older apparently when We parted company after seven years of more or less close companionship. The best thing about Old Bob was his sense of humor.
 'He didn't mind my riding him when I was on his back with knots tied in the stirrup feathers so that I could get my feet in the stirrups, but he did do his best to prevent me from getting in the saddle. Of course, I couldn't mount in the orthodox way, it was too much like mountain climbing; so I would mount him from the top of the fence.
 "Old Bob would stand peacefully by the fence as 1 climbed to the top but if 1 didn't keep tight hold of the rein he would jerk it out of my hand and start off without me. Many's the time he did this when 1 was miles from home.
 ''If you think he'd dash right home you are mistaken It wasn't that he objected to being ridden; he simply wanted to have his joke.
 '.TIe would run a few hundred yards, then stop and wait for a very angry boy to catch up. Then, just as I was about caught up. off would go Old Bob for another hundred yards. l never did catch up until home was reached, and then Old Bob would allow himsef to be unsaddled and put into his stall with a gleam in his eye that said plainly, Fooled you that time, didn't IF
 He had another pleasant trick, If I did not keep a tight rein when l was on his back of wandering under trees whose branches were just low enough to brush me off. If he failed he would look back at me with a sardonic grin which had little malice in 1t.
 He took my puny beating stolidly for the most part but once in a while he would retailiate with hoofs and teeth One Christmas morning as l entered his stable l slapped him playfully on the flank with Merry Christmas! He re- sponded in kind but as his slap had more power in 1t, l landed some feet away. Whereupon he snorted in glee and resumed his morning meal
 "A good fellow he was and an anus ing, if ungentle, companion. But the next generation won't have horses to make friends with"

Gov. HarmOn's Handicap.

Defying public opinion and the
general welfare of the state, the
Republican majority in the legis.
lature will keep up its partisan
hostility to Governor Harmon g
administration throughout this
extraordinary session,
Such is the decree of the bosses
who constitute the state Repub-
lican machine, to whom the Repub-
lican leaders in both branches of
the legislature yield obedience will
ingly.
Other Republican members in
both the house and senate are
whipped into line with the party
lash and forced to follow their
leaders like dumb driven cattle.
They must do the bidding of the
bosses In all things regardless of
the indignation of constituents.
They must oppose reform measures
advocated by a Democratic gov
ernor, when ordered by the bosses
TO do SO, no matter how detrimen-
tai such opposition may be to the
welfare of the state. They must
not do what their constituents,
irrespective of party lines, would
have them do If the Republican
bosses fe n that any such action
would reflect credit on the admin
istration of a Democratic governor.
This is the kind of legislature
the state of Ohio has today.
Last fall the voters of Ohio elect,
ed Democratic governor be-
cause they wanted to bring about
needed reforms. If they thought
he could accomplish that result
alone aud against the hostile and

obstructive tactics of legislature
having in both branches ms sjority
of servile tools of the state Re-
publican machine, they know diff
erently now.
Such reforms as Governor Har-
mon can accomplish alone he will
not fail to perform; but for other
reforms, which require legislative
enactment, he can go no further
than to recommend the proper
course to pursue.
The people have had ample proof
already that Governor Harmon
possesses the honor, integrity,
ability and courage to perform to
the utmost every promise he made
them in the campaign last fall and
that their confidence was not mis-
placed when they chose him to
give them two years OF honest and
efficient administration at the head
of the state government. Nor can
the people fail to see that the way
to remove the distractions of II
machine serving majority in
the legislature is to re.elect Gov
ernor Harmon next year by a larger
ma ajority than he had last fall and
also elect legislature that will
work in harmony with and support
his administration.
