HARDING AGAINST HIMSELF

In his campaign opening speech at
Kenton, Mr.. Harding quoted the plank
from his platform favoring a law to
require the publication of campaign
contributions, and said. II am willing
to go further and consent that Chmn.
Laylin publish the Republican cam
paign expenditures of 1910 in Ohio
without the mandate of law"
Ohio once had law requiring the
publication of campaign contributions
and expenditures. IL was enacted In
1896, and was known as the Gar
field corrupt practices act, having
been originally introduced in the SEN
ate by the same james X. Garfield
who was not nominated for governor
by the convention which nominated
Mr.. Harding for governor.
This law, which Mr.. Harding him
self complied with when he was elect
ed to the state senate i'm 1900 and
again In 1902, was repealed In 1902,
and MIR. HARDING VOTED FOR
IT'S REPEAL. (See. senate journal,
1902, page 437.)
When is Mr.. Harding's position on
the publication OF campaign contri
button and expenditures to be believ
ed in, when he voted as member Of
the state senate to repeal law ol
that kind or when AS a candidate fol
governor he says he is willing to have
his campaign expenditures published
without the mandate Of law?
One reason why there is no mandate
of law requiring the publication o'
campaign receipts and expenses Ii
that Mr.. Harding by his vote helped
to repeal the law OF that kind Ohio
once had
Here we have Mr.. Harding once
more in the attitude of opposing him
self by getting on both sides of thu
question.

IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Chicago Post)


1t was sunset in England. The poem
alleges that the sun belonged to Eng
land-but it is also used by the rest
of the world. A young woman named
Bessie went to see the sexton and
asked him not to ring the curfew, be-
cause her sweetheart was in prison
and they were going to execute him at
curfew. The sexton did not ask her
what kind of a Judge would issue such
decision, but explained that he could
not afford to lose his daily wages. So
Bessie went up In the belfry and held
the clapper of the bell. Later she met
Oliver Cromwell and gave him the
particulars. Oliver said he guessed it
was one on him. Later Bessie and
her lover got married and toured the
country as Swiss bell ringers, and sub
sequently went into vaudeville and
played Listen to the Mocking Bird"
on strings of sleigh bells. Cromwell
had mole on his cheek, but he rec
ognized Bessie as a militant suffrag-
ette.

The recent assemblage of three very
large crowds at Hiawatha park, on the
occasions of the county picnic and the
county fair, when many thousands
of people were present, and on all
of which the best Of order prevailed,
is the occasion Of favorable comment.
1t is rather remarkable that with such
large crowds gathered together moth,
ing of an untoward nature should oc-
cur. There was not an unpleasant
feature, so far as the behavior of those
present was concerned. 1t is doubtful
whether such large crowds ever as.
sembled any other place with such a
result. 1t speaks we'll for the high
character Of the people Of Knox coun'
ty that such condition existed on the
occasions named.

MOONEY BADLY MuooLEo

Having been speaker OF the house
the past two sessions. there is no ex.
cuse for the misrepresentation in
dulged in by Mr. Mooney Republican
candidate for secretary OF state, in his
speech at the campaign opening at
Kenton.
Mr. Mooney quoted that part Of the
Democratic platform which accuses
the present Republican legislature OF
opposition to the governors efforts to
purify the public service Then Mr..
Mooney said: There was never a
falser statement than that set down in
party platform" The only thing
wrong with Mr. Moneys assertion
is that IL Is not true. lie tries to prove

@. D. Chase, pastor of st. Johns Meth
odist church, at st. Johns, Mich, will
resign his pulpit because, he says, too
many women of his flock are in love
with him. The worst feature of the
case, he declared, is that the women
who think they love him are indignant
because he can't and won't love them.
IL never made love to any woman

Chase declared. Some of the men,

1t is said a petition for his removal
was circulated by two women who
love the pastor in vain.
