ENJOYABLE
Social Session Held Al
Y. M. @. A. Ioarlors
Monday Night
TO BE HELD MONTHLY

The members of the Y, M. G. A.
held AN interesting social session in
the Y. M. G. A. parlors last evening.
1t was the first function of that ma
ture that has been held for the benefit
of the members and 1t was largely at
tended. II is the intention of the di-
rectors to hold similar social every
month in the future.
A very interesting program was rem
dered. F. j. Dolby gave an auto harp
solo which was well received, and he
was forced to respond to several en-
cores. Harry Feightner sang For
gotten" which received tremendous
applause Various games were next
in order and competitive pool for the
highest score in ten minutes was in
dulged In by a number of the men,
mers. Others took part in checker and
chess contests.
A game which had never been
played at the Y. M. c. A. was intro
duced and took well. 1t is called deck
shuttle board. The west end of the
parlor was used as a court to play the
game.
After the various games had been
INDUCED in Mr.. Ross, chairman of
the membership committee, opened
the question box, which contained a
number Of pertinent inquiries. Prob
ably the most important one was that
of how to increase the membership
Two suggestions were made. One was
to offer prizes or pins to every men,
ber who would secure new members
while the other was to offer a months
dues to each member for each new
onnnoafsarH 80 fI1n r. -
fered suggestions on the subject but
nothing WAS done. ~
Another question which received
considerable discussion was whether
1t would be advisable to allow new
members to sign three, six or nine
month contracts or compel them to
sign for year. Some of the mem
bers favored the three month plan
which is practically for social purposes
while others thought that as the rates
for a year. were so reasonable they
ought to be willing to enter the Y. M
C. A. for not less than a year. In the
future the members will be granted
the privilege Of voting upon new mem
bers which was heretofore taken NV
only before the membership commit
tee. A half dozen or more new mem
bers were voted in at the social ses-
sion last night
After lively discussion on. the
questions taken out of the box the
members sang number of old plan
tation melodies and a number of new
songs. Before the close Eugene Saint
was appointed to take charge of the
program. for next months social Dur
ing the evening orangeade was served
with toasted marRhmallnWa.

M. A. FISHERS SUCCESS.

M. A. Fisher, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the or
dinary methods of Introduction, urg-
ed the DIR. Howard Co. to secure a
quick sale for their celebrated spe-
cific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia by Offering the regular SOC
bottle at half-prlce.
So much talk has been caused by
this offer, and so many new friends
have been made for the specific that
the DIR. Howard Co. have authorized
druggist M. A. Fisher to continue
this special half-price sale for a
limited time longer.
In addition to selling SOC bottle
of DIR, Howard's specific for 25c M.
A. Fisher has so much faith in the
remedy that he will refund the mon
ey to anyone whom 1t does not cure.
When your head aches, your stom-
ach does not digest food easily and
naturally when there is constipation,
specks before the eyes, tired feeling,
giddiness, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, heart burn, sour stom-
ach, roaring or ringing In the ears,
melancholy and liver troubles DR..
Howard's specific will cure you. II
it does not, 1t will not cost you a
cent.

AN EXPLODED cANARp.

How foolish the republican papers
which have been having spasms
about an alleged deal between Cox
and the democratic senator's must
feel since the complete collapse of
that silly canard.
II there is one thing that hurts a
republican editor more than any
thing else II is to have the people
talking about bitter factional fights
between republicans. Rather than
tell their readers how Senator Duval
quoted from Taft's Akron speech in
1905 about the Cox machine at Gin
cinnatl working like well adjusted
and we'll oiled CoTliss engine; or how
Senator Rathburn denounced Cox and
the republican senators who assigned
a Cox man to the chairmanship OF the
senate finance committee instead of
giving the place to him, until Lieut.
Gov. Treadway called him to order
for being too personal in his philip
pic; or how Senator Lawyer inferen-
TALLY challenged Senator Tod to meet
him anywhere off-hand; or how Law
yer and Tod shook their fists at each
other until the lieutenant governor
raped them to order; or how Tod
told Lawyer to his face that his
Uawyer's) opinions didn't amount to
anything, and other acrimonious out
bursts of the factional tempest on
the republican side of the senate, the
republican soothsayers concluded that
they would start the false report that
the democrats were in deal with
Cox. They thought the people would
~ ohn1 M yi irO "
interest in the republican row and
would do nothing but talk about the
preposterous charge that the demo-
Gratis we're in a deal with Cox, and
that the deal involved Gov. Harmon's
administration.
In this way republican papers be-
gan to knock the new democratic ad-
ministration from the very start, and
they hoped also t. get democrats in
TO a quarrel between themselves to
counteract the factional fight on the
republican side of the senate.
What made the situation most hu-
initiating to them was that when the
republican senators lost their tenn
pers and got to quarreling among
themselves, they were outwitted by
the democratic minority.
Since the foolish canard has been
completely exploded the republican
editors are grumpy. They hate to
give 1t up but can't help themselves.
There never was any truth in their
story and they have been able to fool
only part Of the people part of the
time
That there was deal of any kind
with Cox was denied first by Sena-
tor Huffman, then by Chairman Fin
ley of the state democratic commit
tee and by Harvey c. CARRIER, demo-
cratic national committeeman for
Ohio, and finally by Gov. Harmon
himself.
The republican papers which started
the canard are covered with confus
ion over the exposure of their first
attempt to misrepresent the new
democratic state administration-and
the republican row goes on with un-
abated fury
Perhaps when Gov. Harmon is |
heard from again there won't be
enough left of this foolish republi- !
can story to wad a pop-gun for any
republican editor in Ohio.

DICK DErlEs Q. p. TAFT.

An overture was made TO Senator
Dick by w. H. Phipps, state oil in
spector, according to reports from
Washington, to enter into an alli-
ance with Charles P. Taft whereby
Dick should be nominated for COVER
nor in 1910 and Taft given Dicks
seat in the senate.
Such deal is contingent, of course
on the election of a republican legis-
lature in the first place, and a legis-
lature that will not be dominated by
Senator Burton in the second place.
But Senator Dick was too crafty
to do more than nibble at the bait.
His reply to the Taft overture made
to him through Phipps was that he
cannot see that there is or has been
any reason for such an arrangement,
and he virtually challenges Charles
P. Taft to contest by announcing that
he will be candidate for reelection
to the senate.
Declaring in his statement that he
win cooperate with the incoming
administration and work for the
strengthening and up-building OF the
republican party ION harmonious
lines" in the home state of the in
coming president, Senator Dick
throws down the gauntlet to Charles
P. Taft in these words: my own
candidacy for election to a second
term as senator 10 stand on its own
merits, independent of any alliance
or understanding that could in any
way infringe upon the full and un-
trammeled choice Of the people Of
Ohio
This challenge is decidedly inter
esting. 1t means that Dick intends
to claim the time-honored right to
second term, and It means that if
this is to be denied him the opposi
tion must be based entirely on fac
tional grounds.
Now, II Charles P. Taft wants to
take up the gauntlet and go into a
factional fight for the senatorship he
must do so in disregard of harmon
ious lines" in the home state of his
big brother who is soon to become
president. Perhaps that is why Dick
cannot see that there is or has been
any reason for such an arrangement
as that proposed to him by Phipps.

MEANS BUSINESS.

There can be no quibble about
what Gov. Harmon means in his
message to the legislature. Like his
inaugural address, and his straight
forward Communication to the sen
ate requesting that he be relieved of
the encumbrances upon his admins
tration imposed by the confirmation
of the lap-over appointments of the
retiring republican governor, this
message touching the present needs
of the state goes direct to the point
of each subject discussed, in the
plain-spoken language of real states
manship.
In urging that the investigation of
Cincinnati be resumed and pursued
to the end, Gov. Harmon explodes a
silly bugaboo which carping republi-
can and undertaking newspapers en-
deavored to attach to his administra-
ton in the very beginning. Not only
does he lay bare sufficient reasons
why the probe should be thrust to
the very bottom of the Cincinnati
political cess-pool, but he boldly de-
tlares that as "the persons affected
by the investigation had sufficient
interest to go to the expense of liti-
cation TO stop it, SO the public GER
tRinly has an equal interest in hav-
ing it go on" The same clear note
rings through his recommendations
for further investigation at the state
house.
Other recommendations made by
the governor will inure to the bene-
fit OF the state If nodded into clear
and concrete legislation along the
lines suggested. He states his rea-
sons at length in favor of creating a
taxing board to supervise all taxa
ton matters now attended to in a
perfunctory way by various boards
composed ex-of1ci0 Of certain state
officials; for an equitable adjust
ment of taxes levied on corporate
interests set forth in the message,
and for much needed invoice of
all the states property in the care
ana keeping OF state oficials and
state institutions.
The governors disclosure through
his message that no inventory has
been kept Of the property in the ad-
1utant generals department is SEN
sationA indeed and indicative OF
other discoveries likely to result
from the change OF administration II
only the governors hands can be un-
fettered. His prompt action In re-
quiring an inventory TO be made by
the new ad1utant general OF all the
property in his custody, is an earn
est OF the kind OF business adminis-
tration Judson Harmon prop,,ses to
give the people of Ohio and for
which they voted when they elected
him TO the Office Of governor.
Gov. Harmon's message Is free
from frills and ornate rhetoric. II
deals with the business Of the state
a. q bussness-like way that means
business. and responds to the needs
OF the state and the wishes OF the
