do. The Republican state auditor
said he was going to help. Now all
the Republican state officials are try
ing to out-run the governor in the
pursuit of graft, while Republican
clackers are trying to give all the
credit to Republican officials, placing
all the blame on the dead treasurer
and at the same time charging that
Governor Harmon is only playing
politics.
Can you imagine anything like It
If Harris had been elected governor
and Green treasurer? Can you inn
agine what it would be like today If
the whole ticket headed by Judson
Harmon and majority of both
branches Of the legislature had been
elected in 1908 to clean out instead
of cover up graft at the state house?
Don't forget chat the opportunity to
do it right will be up to the people
of Ohio next November
Unles the prafters have success
fully burned their bridges Cor their
books) Governor Harmon is going to
lead the whole ticket which bears his
name over them to victory next time
and interference from Washington
and by the G. o. F. machine in Ohio
will only magnify the majority.

BUT NOT TAX PROOF
Life)


a model concrete house has been
built by q corporation at Montclair,
N. j. 1t weighs 500 tons and has on
ly two ingredients-co and
steel 1t is, in effect, a solid chunk
OF rock, and is expected TO last forev-
er. 1t is freproof, rat and mouse
proof everything but tax proof.
To make an imperishable house that
IS not tax proof seems sort of futile,
but after all it may be no more unec-
onom!c than to make an immortal soul
and neglect to make it proof against
sin. A world of all-concrete houses
and sin proof souls might not be so
interesting as this world we know.
There would be no fire engines, no in
surance companies, and no churches.
It might seem dull.
The perishable nature of mundane
things probably helps to make us toll
Grant Of them. Imperishable things,
like souls, were wisely planned to be
substantial. If souls weighed 500 tons
we might wish they didn't last so
well, and that permanent house in
Montclair may be blown up in the
next generation by public out of all
patience with its style.

ments of character and mind that

Rev. Arthur C. Smith of Cincin-
natl will reach the city Monday to

A CROW THAT TALKS

(Hamden Junction, O., Cor. N. Y.

A crow learning the use of the Eng
lish language is a novelty witnessed
at South Webster. This apt pupil of
the genus Corvus, owned by William
McGawn, has discarded the croaking
note and adopted vocabulary that
doesn't crate so harshly upon the
tympanum. 1t grew to like McGown
so well that it began to call him
Billy" familiarity it still persists in.
There is also a COW on the premis-
es, and one evening the crow heard
the invitation given, Come milk the
cow" since which time, just as the
sun begins to sink behind the west
ern hills, the crow student calls out,
Come milk the cow" and keeps re-
peating unLil that duty is performed.

Columbus, o., Jan. 6.-Governor
Harmons message to the Legislature
at the opening of the present session.
stands out in the fullest measure of
frankness and candor before the
whole people of Ohio 1t is strong
state paper, tersely written and
clearly expressed. There is no waste
of words or ornate rhetoric, no
floundering in redundant verbiage.
He comes to the point at once and
takes the people into his confidence
as to what he believes would be the
best course of action to promote the
general welfare. Mindful of the
great responsibility of his position
and of his obligation to the people
as their chief executive, he sets forth
his official recommendation to the
legislature in plain and unequivocal
terms
1t was Tallyrand who believed
that, in the ethics of statemanship,
words should be employed to conceal
thought. There is no such false idea
in the craftsmanship of Judson Har-
mon. He employs words to make
clear and concise his most serious
thoughts and conclusions reached
after mature dsliberation.
The message is brief and may be
read entire in few minutes. When
read though carefully it is dull
min indeed that will not clearly un-
derstand it. One of Governor Har-
mons prime faculties is his ability
to put a statement in plain words
that cannot be easily misconstrued.
There may be some fault finding
and cavilling on the part of a biased
partisan press, but the best answer
that can be made 60 any such perver-
sion will be to quote the language
of the governor himself as set down
in black and white in his message.
The message deals first with three
major questions before the people
of Ohio today, then with various mi
nor matters. In all there is no such
taint of partisanship as cropped out
at times in the official utterance of
some of its predecessors Instead of
appeal to party feeling Governor
Harmon treats bushes affairs of the
state according to sound business
principles and for business reasons.
If he gains prestige thereby it is be-
cause he thus proves himself worthy
of the confidence of the people.
The one great need of the state
of Ohio for a number of years was to
have such a man in the governor office
Now that the state has such a gov
ernor it will be proof of the discre-
tion of intelligent citizenship to keep
him there another term. A careful
reading of the governors message
ought to help many citizens to ar.
rive at that reasonable conclusion
and to remember 1t next November.
