WHAT is A WELcHER?
Congressman Fish's Suit Against an
Editor Yields New Definition.

Editor Yields New Definition.
Poughkeepsie, March LII Con
gresham Ham Fish's libel suit
against Editor Silas Hinkley of The
Poughkeepsie News Press serves no
other purpose 1t will at least give the
world modern definition of the
word "Welcher" The editor in his
answer to Congressman Fish's suit
for $4,000 damages for libel, which
was filed today denies that when he
applied this epithet in the last polit-
ical campaign TO the Congressman he
intended it to be construed in its
dictionary sense of cheat, sharper
or betting man who absconds if he
loses his bets.
The editor expressly disclaims this
Interpretation He declares that he
meant the words to be accepted in
another sense-that of a person who,
for the purpose of avoiding any risk
or loss in a bet or wager fairly made
or in any other obligation not legally
binding or enforceable, withdraws
from the same and repudiates any
liability therefor
On this definition the editor stands
and is willing to rest his defense to
prove that Te News Press was not
prove that The News Press was not
word to which the Congressman so
strongly objects.
Editor Hinkley repeats in clear, UNI
ambiguous English that, accepting
his definition as the true one, he told
the truth. He denies any malice, ILL.,
will. or hatred toward the plaintiff,
or that he in any way intended to in
iure him for political motives.
Congressman Fishs libel suit grew
out of bet on the local campaign
last fall with Editor Huxley of The
New Press. The bet was withdrawn,
and out of the controversy as to who
was responsible for the failure to
make good grew The News Press edi-

PARDONS GRANTED TWO
A UNION COUNTY SEDUCER AND
A UNION COUNTY EMBE-ZZLER
RECEIVE EXECUTIVE GLEN

Two men Of Union county were
yesterday granted pardons BY Cover
nor Kitchin. One was sentenced for
four years in the States prison for
embezziement and the other to thirty
months in the States prison for Sc
duction under promise of marriage.
The patries and the Governors rea-
sons for pardon are as follows:
Laney w. Baker, Of Union county.
convicted at the August term. 1908.
for the crime OF seduction UNDER
promise Of marriage. and sentenced to
80 months in the States prison. Par
doned conditionally, the reasons for
pardon being:
1.-THE prisoner has served the great
er part Of his sentence. More than
a year age a majority Of the jury
strongly recommended a communication
to one years Imprisonment, beiiev-
ing from all the circumstances that
one year would be ample punishment.
Now the judge and the solicitor both
strongly recommend pardon, both be-
ing familiar with all the facts. Con-
sidering the facts and recommended
roper therefore pardon prisoner
on condition that he remain law
abiding and Of good behavior.
w. T.. Bell, OF Union county. con-
victed at the July term. 1908. for the
crime of embezzlement and sentenced
10 IOuT years IN the states prison..
Pardoned conditlonally. the reasons
for pardon being:
prisoner has served two years Of
q four-years sentence, and was in Jail
several months prior to his trial. Both
the judge and the solicitor recommend
pardon. the judge having much doubt
as to prisoners criminal intent in the
commission Of the ofense. Many citi-
zens ask for his pardon. and there are
some protests. Upon consideration Of
all the facts, and the recommended
tons for Clemency, I hin a condi-
t1onal pardon is proper. Prisoner
was a sewing machine agent and was
convicted of embezzling the funds of
his employer. Pardoned OH condition
that he remain law-abiding and Of

HARMON ENDORSES GRAFT
Governor Does Not Practice What He
SO Loudly breaches.

Governor Does Not Practice What He
SO Loudly breaches.
The vide-awake Dayton Herald
makes this interesting comment on
Governor Harmon's opening speech:
Governor Pattison appointed Mr..
Creamer as state fire marshal and
his term expired few months before
he was elected as state treasurer.
When the Republican legislature
probed the state Offices last winter,
Creamer's administration of the fire
marshal's office was reported AS one
of the worst. He even charged the
state for street car tickets in Column
bus, and expenses to Democratic con-
ventions, and went back into arrears
for travelling expenses before he had
qualified as a state officer. None ex-
cept Mark Slater exceeded Creamer
on the graft records And even the
9ppointees of Governor Harmon were
compelled by the legislature to turn
back moneys before they had gotten
warm in their new berths. And yet
we were told that the conduct Of
their respective offices by these two
men make up the record on which
the Democratic party now comes be-
fore the people, God save the COM
monwealth, with Creamer and his
clan, including Bill Finley, as the
apostles of Harmon.
'In exploiting himself and Creamer
the governor devotes his speech
largely to the state treasury, going
over the investigations of the past.
But he is not able to show anything
that he has done for the future. The
depository law was recommended by
Herrick and competitive bidding by
Harris, and even s!le probe was be-
gun by the Howe committee a year
before Harmon and Creamer we're IN
office. The press dispatches are con-
stantly reporting how things are turn
ed over to the attorney general and
yet the public would hardly know,
from the governors speech, that
there was such an officer or that the
legislature provided for the governor
to employ one of the most eminent
Democratic attorneys in the state to
assist the Republican attorney gen
eral in prosecuting former state
treasurers or any other state officers
who may have been guilty OF grating
or any derelictiEa IN office"

Governor In Serious Plight over His
Endorsement of Fellow-Candidate.

Governor In Serious Plight Over His
Endorsement of Fellow-Candidate.
At Canton, on Saturday. Sept. "a,
Governor Judson Harmon said this:
$50 the question before the people
is "Shall the conduct of the present
governor and treasurer be approved
or condemned|
Governor Harmon has the sublime
nerve Of the well-paid corporation
lawyer when he makes that appeal
to the people of Ohio. The governor
tried to keep Creamer from being
renominated as the Democratic can
didate for treasurer of state, but in
this he was unsuccessful for Creamer
came across with 6S votes more than
was necessary to nominate. although
472 delegates registered their votes
and a protest against him.
It will be remembered that John
j. Lentz, now a candidate for United
States senator, made a plea before
the Dayton convention for Creamer's
vindication. Then it was that Sam
uel G. Rogers, Democrat, OF AKRON
startled the convention by demand
ing: IF such strenuous effort on the
part of an able lawyer is necessary
to justify Creamer before this con-
vention, how much more effort will
be required to elect him."
Inasmuch as Creamer has already
entered a plea of Guilty" to petty
graft, the people of Ohio have no fur
ther interest in this nominee of the
Democratic party except to read on
the day after election of the plurality
registered against him.
And Harmon's espousal of the cause
of the convicted Creamer should and
will cost him thousands of votes.

little national dairy magazine. Kim

purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many

Protecting Our own.

"The Republican party stands to-
day just where it has always stood as
to the tariff. The principle of pro-
lection means simply a duty levied
upon foreign products coming into
this country, equaling the difference
in the cost Of production of such arti-
cles at home and abroad. And this
that home producers may not be driv-
en- out OF business by competition
with the products of poorly paid for
eign labor and that the American
.workingmen may not be reduced to
the extremity of foreign cheap labor"
