THOSE CANALS

The inaugural address delivered by
Governor Harmon, on Monday is
recognized as one of the greatest
state documents which has been Civ
en- to the people of Ohio in many
years. In that address the governor
spoke some of the most striking
truths which have been uttered by a
public official Among other things
he spoke of the canals of the state
and his utterances created no little
surprise. Governor Harmon has for
a number of years been closely con-
nected with the railroad interests
having been receiver for some roads
in Ohio, and this is the fact which
has caused surprise at his utterances
concerning the canals.
For a number of years a bunch OF
men, who were working in the inter-
ests of the railroaGs, have been en-.
deavoring 10 get the canals away
from the state and have been unsuc-
cessful. 1t has been announced that
another effort is to be made during
the present session of the Legislature
to get them away and 1t was feared
that with the grip which the bosses
have upon the Republican L Tislators,
they would be successful in this at
tempt. Governor Harmon, says that
the canals compose one of the great
est assets the state has and that
instead of considering abandoning
them, they should be improved. The
only question arising in his mind is
whether this Improvement should be
to meet the demands which are made
today, or to anticipate the compile
ton of the Panama canal and the
Improvement of the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers and to make the i'm
prOvements of such a nature and
character that larger vessels can be
accommodated. This is certainly a
broad view of the situation and by
all who consider the needs of the
state and who anticipates conditions
as they will be within a few years
it is conceded to be the logical
view. Coming from a man who has
been so intimately associated with
the railroads as had Governor Har-
mon it may be said to have still
greater importance and Significance.
This much is certain, the state will
not be robbed of its canals 30 long
as Judson Harmon is sitting in the
governors chair.

GOVERNOR ASKS
FOR FREE HAND

Governor Harmons request of the
senate that his hands be unfetterei
from the very beginning of his ad-
ministration so that he can give the
people of the state some OF the re-
forms which they favor and for
(which they voted when they selected
eihim for governor cannot but appeal
to all lovers of the square deal.
Before ne retired from office,
Governor Harris, under direction
from the powers which have been
and which be in Republican poll
saics in Ohio appointed every man
whose term is to expire within the
next one or six months, together
with all OF those whose term expir-
ed with the outgoing governor. Not
only this but in some instances he
induced men who wished to resign, to
hold over to the end of their terms
so that Governor Harmon could not
get a chance to investigate some of
sThe state institutions which have
abeen looked upon with suspicion. In
fact every tether which could be
placed upon the governor was tied
;swith as many knots as possible. In
Sthis hobbling and "hog tieing", as
sthe cowboy would say, the senate
ltook a very prominent part, by rati-
efying everything which Governor
Hamis did.
Governor Harmon has represented
ito the senate that he was elected TO
the goyernorship because the people
hof Ohio want change. They have
sbecome wise to what was going on in
-the state departments and state in
stitutions and want some changes
.made For that reason they voted
Hfor Governor Harmon and tried to
vote for some others on the state
Wicket with him, but they missed
.dheir cue and some men who were
Slated for retirement slipped into

cause they believed he would insti-
tute some of the reforms for which
he battled and which appeal to the
people. Now right in the beginning
OF his administration his hands have
sheen 50 completely tied that unless
some relief is afforded, he will not
be able to start reformations for
some time. He has asked the Senate
TO assist him In his work, by recon-
sidering Its endorsements of Harris
appointments. II is probable that the
appeal will fall upon deaf ears. The
senate win not likely reconsider it's
action and reverse itself, but this
much is proven, that Governor Har-
mon Is making the attempt TO do
those things which he promised the
people he will do and 1t Is a GER
sanity that just rs soon as he is
given the opportunity, he will strike
such a blow that all erring officials
swill feel It,
