One Step Forward.

We are proud that the only 9TH
er Democrat state officer besides
the Governor is also making good.
State Treasurer Creamer this week
advei tised for bid for the deposit
tories of the state funds. He is
to receive the bids on the 18th day
of this month, and the letting of
the states money open to compe-
tion, the state will benefit by the
system many thousands Of dollars
in interest over and above what it
has been receiving in the past, and
few favored ones will not be
handling millions of the state
money at one per cent and loan
ing il out at seven per cent. Mr..
Creamer is true to his pledge of
the campaign, and has placed this
money open to competition through
out the state.

Who's Afraid.

What state official is afraid to
have his public records officially
examined? What head Of state
department or state institution is
so uneasy that there is opposition
to giving the governor of Ohio
power to officially examine the re-
cords?
If the records are not all right
it is time the truth were known
and the official AK laid at the root
of the evil.
Opposition to the proposal to
give Governor Harmon and all
governors who succeed him, the
authority to scrutinlze all state Of
fees and departments, which Is
now given the governor to examine
two state offices, furnishes the
most convincing reason why the
governors powers should be ex-
tended in that direction and the
means placed at his disposal to
make such power effective.
The Woods bill is not special
probe proposal for any specially
desired investigation. If enacted
it is to be a permanent statute so
that the governor may exercise a
proper function at any time and
anywhere that circumstances may
render necessary. 1t is entirely
separate and distinct from the
several probing com missions under
consideration, and should be a
part of the governors authority
even though a probe commission
were at work on every state office
and every state institution.
What state officer can object to
it without arousing suspicion
against himself?
In whose behalf are the so called
state Republican "leaders' oppos-
ing it?
Who's afraid, and why2

Governors Proclamation.

On last Friday Gov. Harmon
Issued his first proclamation, as
follows:
Friday, February II, 1909, be-
ing the one hundredth anniversary
of the birth of Abraham Lincoln,
has been made by law holiday.
This act of the general assembly
was due to the reverence felt by
every member, without which he
would not be true representative
of the people of his district.
But Ohio's share of the worlds
tribute of respect to be then paid
should not be limited to this of.
fetal action. 1t merely affords
the opportunity to all citizens, by
suspending legal obligations for
that Gay, to show that nowhere
are the work and character of
Abraham Lincoln better under.

than in Ohio.
Therefore /, Judson Harmon,

people of the state to observe the

from business and the usual ex

brance.
In testimony whereof, | have
hersunto subscribed my name and
caused the Great Seal of the State
to be affixed at Columbus. this

is hauled over the course of the law
and is made to pay fine. We
have had many inquiries as to
whether the Sealer of Weights and
Measures Department ever investi-
gates the correctness of gas meters
throughout Ohio, and as to wheth-
er the gas that goes through the
meters is pure or whether it is
mostly air. Should it not be the
duty of this State Department to
inspect the power and pumping
stations of the gas companies and
learn the amount of air pressure
they are forcing through their
lines every day. An inspector
should cover the state every year
and test every gas meter operating
in the state, to see if it IS doing as
it should do, 1t might be that in
many instances this might help
the companies as we'll as the con-
sumers. There is satisfaction
in knowing whether your meter Is
correct or not, and there would be
much satisfaction to the compan-
les, if when consumer kicks on
his gas bill, to refer the dissatis-
fed soul to the State Inspector.
This is line of inspection that
would be mutually appreciated by
all concerned, and we hope that
the Governor will take this matter
up along with other things, as
soon as he can get to it.

The Primary Law.
out the state

At a session of the last Legisla.
ture law was enacted providing
for the holding of primary elec-
tions in Ohio. That the bill is
generally good there is no dispute,
but like most all the statutes that
are passed in the legislatures,
there are imperfections in them
that come to the surface after a
while, and at time when they are
about to be tried. The Bronson
primary law looked good on the
face of it, uutil the time came for
it to be used, and then it was found
that it was wholly inadiquate to
meet all conditions. The very
first thing that arose was the ne
csssity of holding special pri-
mary election, and there are no
provision in IT, e law for the hold
ing of special primary election.
The law will necessarily have to
be amended to provide for these
special elections. There are other
features that must of necessity be
changed, and one is the manner Of
getting on the primary ballot.
The petitioning clause should be
stricken out and the law should
provide that the persons wishing
to get on the ballot should an
nounce themselves at least ten
days before the primary election
In some newspaper in the county
or district, and that persons wish
ing to run independently or on par
ty ballots that have not votes
enough to get on the ballot at the
general election, shall petition the
board OF elections for primary
ballot. The political parties that
are entitled to be on the general
election ballot because Cf their vote
at the last preceding general elec-
tion, should not be required to Pc
tition TO be provided for at the
general primary election. How
ever, in strengthening out the
kinks and omissions of the Bron-
son law great care should be taken
not to cripple the law and make it
unconstitutional of imperative.
The law Is alright If Strengthened
out properly, and that should be
done at once.

business relations with him in conse-
quence thereof.
When asked over the phone by
representative of this paper as to the
truth of his being a party to the at
tack, the Joseph business man denied
emphatically having had anything to
do with it. He said he passed the place
of sale twice during the evening and
stopped only as spectator. He said
the people were opposed to the sale
because Wheat had brought the rem
nant of his Enterprise stock up there
to sell in competition with the home
merchants. He said the trouble was
caused by some young fellows who
went there to ''have some fun but
when called down by the auctioneer,
started in to make trouble. They
threatened to rotten egg the auction
eer and would have done so If given a
chance, said the business man, who
also claims the auctioneer was very
abusive OF the town.
