EeLan Dirties His Bed and His Logic

A significant fact published in the
Celina Observer last week, was the
vote of John Romer at the Democratic
primaries foI denomination as Prose-
cutting Attorney. without any oppo-
sition he fell behind the ticket GOO
votes, and with the extremely light
vote polled all over the county, what
would it have been if there had been
the full Democratic poll out. This in
dicates that the people will not con-
tinue to be fimhammed any longer by
this prosecutor" who made such a
fiasco of the sewer pipe investigation.
We have talked with dozens of Demo-
Gratis in this part of the county who
will not support Romer at the polls on
account of his supineness in the face of
the gigantic sewer pipe scandal and his
general activity in muddying the
waters in the grand jury in Vestigation.
No one questions the personal honesty
of John ROmer, but he threw away the
opportunity of a lifetime in making a
great record for himself in that deal,
and it was all in the interest of few
corrupt politicians and against the in
terests of the people who put him in
Office They will not stand for Romer
any longer. There are no principles Of
party involved in this-it is simply
question of getting men into office who
will have some regard for their oaths
and who will not forget that they are
the servants of the people instead of
few selfish and designing politicians
who are in it for what there is in it
Ft. Recovery Tribune.
When a man starts out to blacken
another mans character, public or
private, it seems he won't stop at any
half way point. But he always makes
a mess of it in some way and proves
himself an ass.
w. T. Irelan is no exception to the
rule-as reading of the above clip
ping fully discloses.
In one sentence Of his polished state
ment he says mo one questions the
personal honesty of John Romer." In
the next he says lit is simply a ques-
ton of getting men into Office who will
have some regard for their oaths.''

Most people have the notion in their
heads that a disregard of an oath is
the meanest form of dishonesty.
What would you think of a man
who said he didn't question your hon
esty in one breath and in the next
that you have no regard for your oath2
Wouldn't you feel like putting your
hands on your pocket book?
The fact is you would take such an
tagonistic statements with several
grains of salt.
When Editor Irelan said no one
questions the personal honesty of John
Romer he discredited his own uttera-
ances, for he knows no personally
honest man would do the things he
charges Mr.. Romer with.
In another place Editor Ireland says
the people were himaammed by Mr..
Roemer and that he was active in mud
dying the waters in the grand Jury
Investigations.
If he did those things he was dis
honest. Irelan makes the charges but
makes no attempt to support them
only by insinuations and innuendoes
"a contemplate and cowardly method
OF attack.
Ireland says something about de-
signing politicians that he intimates
Mr.. Romer was serving, but he fails
to point them out or show why Mr..
Romer was interested in so doing
how he profted in fetching disre-
pute on himself, his party and the peo-
pie of the county.
1t is true many Democrats have
been turned against Mr.. Romer by
Phillips, Irelan and Gilberg in their
attempt to gain a little notoriety and
gather a few dollars on subscription.
1t is not the frsl time man has suf-
fered through the work of shysters
bent on getting into the limelight.
It's not likely to be the last.
More's the pity.

Primary LauO Good Club for the People

The Jackson Center News, and a
few other jacks of both leading par
ties and of no party at all, have been
knocking the primary law that has
given the people of Ohio for the first
time an opportunity to vote direct for
their party nominees for Congress as
well as for minor offices. The News,
which probably has lost a little politi-
cal pull, joins the anvil chorus with
this observation:
"If there is newspaper in the dis
trict that endorses the primary law it
does not come to this office.
"Charles Marshall was beaten for
the nomination by his home county.
He neglected his own county while the
enemy was very active in securing
votes. We are sorry for Charley, but
we rather think Sidney has no kick
coming, as it secured at least ten out
of the fourteen places on the county
ticket and Judge Mathers is certain to
be renominated."
This causes the Auglaize County
Democrat, Mr.. Cookies paper, to take
issue with the News. The Democrat
ably defends the primary law and
at the same time points out where it
could be improved to still better serve
the cause of the people. 1t says:
"The Democrat believes in the pri-
mary election law. Properly treated
by the rank and file of the voters, the
result would be just the remedy need
ed against boss rule and the selection
of men for public office whom the peO-
pie desire.
The trouble is with the people who
are not patriotic enough to go to the
polls and vote. They holler at boss
rule when the wrong kind of person
is nominated for and elected to office,
but they do not make use of the power
that is at their command to stop it.
The law is all right, but its not suffici-
emily far reaching.

Every citizen should be compelled to
go to the polls and vote. He owes that
to himself and the government.
He owes it to his neighbors and
to the mmediate,eommunity in which
he lives.
Then the law should provide for the
proper advertising of all candidates for
nomination to office before the primary
election, and later for the general cleo
tion.
NO CANDIDATE SHOULD BE
PERMITTED TO ELECTIoNEER for
office under penalty of forfeitinR the
office for which he is candidate if
nominated and elected.
AS to the defeat Of Charles Marshall
there is nothing to be said. The Dem
ocratic vote in Shelby county went to
the polls in proportionately larger num-
bers than did the Democrats of any
other county in the district.
The fault is with the people who
fail to take advantage of the provisions
of the law. Had the other four
counties of the Fourth Congressional
district turned out in proportion as did
the Democrats of Shelby there would
have been mighty little complaint of
the operations of the Hawkins primary
election law.
And, right here comes the thought:
why don't some member Of the Gem
eral Assembly rise above the playing
Of petty politics and frame a primary
election bill that will be wholly in the
interest of the state, ignoring the en-
crOachment of the professional politici-
ans?

the ground"-as was remarked by one
of them-Glavis thought to save this
valuable property by an appeal to the
attorney general of the United States.
In taking this rash step of insubordin-
alton the young land office agent felt
the need of counsel and so appealed to
Hoyt, who had been great government
prosecutor in the northwest under
Roosevelt and had been promoted to
the attorney generalship of Porto Rico.
Hoyt realized so keenly the danger to
the country and the administration that
he went personally to Mr.. Wickersham
and obtained the ruling that saved the
coal lands.
But because he refused to join with
the administration in the whitewashing
of Ballinger before the investigating
committee and insisted on telling the
truth, he is now out of the government
service. Doubtless, the director Of the
service, Mr.. Newell, and
its chief engineer, Mr.. Davis, will soon
follow.
In these days OF an "easy' president
and INSCRIPTIONS and aggressive ad-
visers, it takes nerve to stand against
special privilege.
