Money Held in Trust.

According to the evidence ad-
duced in the case the money had
been placed on special deposit with
the company as the state has a stat
ute which provides that the educa-
tional fund is under control of the
state land board. and can not be
made a general deposit. Ross and
his associates, according to the evil
dence, permitted this money TO min
gle with the general funds of the
bank when it should have been held
in trust for the state, and when the
institution failed they were indicted
for its unlawful conversion. Ross
was convicted and prosecuted an ap-
peal to the supreme court and the
judgment of the lower tribunal was
sustained with the exception OF the
reversal OF the fine.
A petition for a rehearing OF the
case was then made, but the sn-
preme court held that no questions
had been raised in 1t which would
occasion it to change its interpreta-
tion of the law and denied It and
with 1t dies the last hope or of Ross
of evading the service of fve-year
term in the state prison as 1t is said
there are no grounds for an appeal
to the United States court.
Several More Indictments.
There are now pending In the cir
cult court several more indictments
in the circuit court charging Ross
and his associates with the same of
fense and these will now likely be
brought up for trial at the next term
OF the court. Action upon them has
been delayed by the prosecution
pending the decision of the supreme
court on the petition for rehearing.
None OF the associates who were
indicted with Ross have yet been
tried as he alone was tried in the
former case.

raised by Attorney Mcmahon that
the act is in contraYention and in
violation of Section 23 of Article w
of the state constitution and
which in substance provides that no
special or local laws laying out or
opening highways shall be enacted,
nor the appointment or election of
supervisors to oversee their con-
struction be made. Justice Mcbride
then reviews legislation passed dur
ing the territorial days with relation
to the construction of roads and
shows it to have been of local
character and then comes down to
the adoption of the constitution with
the clause contained in it against the
passage of such legislation and con-
cludes that the trainers of the con-
stitution at the time had this past
legislation in mind and decided to
put an end to it by the insertion Af
the provision. He then calls atten-
ton to the fact that it was optional
with the counties of klamath and
Jackson to avail themselves of the
provision; that should Jackson avail
itself of it and klamath not avail
itself of it, that 1t would be coun-
ty and not a state road, and visa
versa, and that should the two of
them avail themselves of it that it
would still be county road. He
then cites opinions in support of his
conclusion that the law is local one
and contrary to the provision of the
constitution and declares it uncon-
stitutional.
Justice King took an opposite
view of the qeustion and cited much
authority in support of his conten-
ton.

What would you say, how would
sou feel, II you were listening to a
chorus of $4,000 voices singing to-
gether one of the fayorite old hymns
that is known in every household?
And how would it impress you IL you
were told that the man who stood be-
fore that vast chorus leading the
singers was neither a singing school
teacher nor q musical director of
great renown. but the governor-just
a plain, everyday sort of citizen
who doesn't put on airs, who doesn't
feel above his fellow man, who isn't
all swelled UP even though he is gov
ernor of one of the greatest states in
this Union?
You could have witnessed such a
scene and felt its inspiring influences
had you been present at the farmers
picnic held at Silver Lake, near Guy
ahoga Falls, Saturday, Aug q, 1910.
The man who stood before that vast
throng, seemingly forgetful of the
fact that he held a high position OF
trust and honor, and mingled his
voice with the rest in singing one of
the grand old songs was none other
than Judson Harmon, governor OF
Ohio.
1t all happened in this way, for 1t
was not a part of the regular pro-
Iar I'm
finished delivering an address to the
assembled farmers. He had spoken
Of their toll, of their progress and
advancement. He had discussed sub
jects relating to their immediate wei
fare. And when his speech was fin
ished. so intent were his hearers
upon meeting him and greeting him
as one having fellow feeling that
they made rush for the platform
and demanded that he shake hands
with everyone present.
Looking about over the sea OF
faces the governor put up both hands
and said MY friends, / would like
to do as you ask. But look around
you, II you can. II will be impossi-
BILE, fear, under the circumstances"
Near the midst of the crowd n man
mounted chair and shouted: "The
governor is right. TO shake hands
with the crowd is an imposslbility
Instead, let us join in singing
'BLEST BE THE TIE THAT
BINDS and. Governor, you start It,
That, think, will serve just as well
as shaking hands"
Governor Harmon was touched by
the spirit Of the suggestion. Such
thought as leading a public assem-
Mage in song had never entered his
mind. Never before had he beer
called upon to attempt such a thing
II you believe it to be an easy thint
70 do Just stand up before the mex
big crowd you are in and try 1t.
With feeling of hesitancy abou
displaying his limited musical train
ing before such an assemblage thu
governor turned to girl on the plat
form who had been taking stena
graphic notes of his speech and SAT-
