MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION
Good List Of Officers Is Selected q

The meeting Of the Merchants

ana then business will commence
The president will name an execu'
tive committee. A constitution and
bylaws were adopted and the mer-
chants mean business.
The plan proposed is this: Each
merchant ia assessed given amount,
proportional upon his business. A
per cent Of this amount is paid in
al once to the executive committee
and is the working fund Of the asso-
citation. Each member then agrees
to refer all applications that may be
made to them for donations or for
advertising in schemes other than
regular newspaper advertising, to
this committee.
The committee then passes upon
the merits of the proposition. II It
Is an advertising scheme by which
ssome transient hot air artist hopes to
make some money, like hotel regis
ter, restaurant menu card, blOtters
and similar propositions, the commit
tee will probably give an absolute
veto. Every member Of the associa-
ton will refuse to come across and
those who do not belong will be the
only refuge of the promoters.
On the other hand, there may be
some programs that it would be the
duty of the merchants to print, in
that case the program Is printed out
right and no advertising matter APP
pears.
The association goes farther than
this; il there is a church to build, a
man who has lost a horse, or some
thing to be helped, a bridge to be
built, a road to be fixed, or any other
public enterprise, the solicit
tors no longer goes to the individual

Protection of GrafterS.

"Instead of protecting and defend
ing grafters, as was the way Of Repub-
lican officers, the present governor is
having them prosecuted and sued for
the return to the state OF the many
thousands of dollars secured by fraud
and wrong doing. Every agency at
his command is being employed to
bring TO account officers who are re-
creant to the trusts reposed in them by
the people. democratic Platform.
And he is running for reelection on
the ticket with d. S. Creamer, who
was found by the Beatty Probe Com
mittee to have grated from the state
and Ham DeWeese, one of his APP
pointees under indictment for graft
ing still holds his position, and we
have not heard of any of the other
half dozen or so Of his appointees who
were caught grating losing their jobs.
This looks to us more like protection
of grafters than prosecution of them.

A Silly Argument.

There Is an effort on the part of the
Harmon Press Bureau to exonerate
the governor and the Democratic
senators from all blame for the defeat
of the Woods Public Utility Bill in the
last session of the legislature.
The bill i'm brief gave the state
greater control and supervision of all
public utility corporations, such as
street railways and steam railroads.
After the bill was defeated Gov.
Harmon made the statement that he
did not know what the provisions of
the bill were. This was one of the
most important bills i'm the interests
of the people before the last legisla-
ture and 1t would seem that govern
or, even If railroad corporation
lawyer, should If he was attending to
his business, have acquainted himself
with its provisions.
When the bill was defeated I'm the
state senate every Democratic mem
ber that was present voted against
it.
Now the Harmon Press Bureau
will comes along with the silly and
foolish argument that because the
bill was approved by President Taft
and was made Republican or party
measure" that it was all right'f for the
Democratic senators to vote against
it, although they admit it was a good
bill.
Can it be possible in this day that
the people will accept such rot and
buncombe as argument ? Admitted
that the majority of the last senate
was Republican and that the Wood
Bill was party measure" If some
of the Republican members failed to
vote for the bill is it any excuse for
all Of the Democrats voting against it,
If it was good measure.
A Democrat or Republican who goes
home to his constituents and says,
voted for or against bill because it
was presented by Democrat or Re-
publican and made "party measure"
without regard to its merits, is unfit
to serve the people and should be
relegated to private life.
Such course is dangerous to the
interests of the people and is likely to
result in the passage of bad laws and
the defeat Of good ones.
For the Democrat party to now claim
that it is in no way responsible for
the defeat of the Wood Bill because
the senate was Republican when
every Democratic senator voted
against 1t and their votes would have
passed and their corporation lawyer
governor cared so little about it that
he said he never even read it and
knew nothing about it, is certainly
silly, shallow and foolish and perfect
example of the worst kind of political

Good Work.

The value of good roads to the people
of county is almost incalcuable.
Everyone who has travelled over the
roads of Highland county in the last
year at once notices and appreciates
the big improvement that has been
made on them. Good judgement has
been used and roads built that are a
pleasure to ride over and will give
good service.
The work now is only just started
and it is the intent on of the present
board Of commissioners to extend this
improvement of the pike all over the
county. While some sections of the
county may feel grieved that work
has not been done on the roads near
them, they should not, as beginning
had to be made somewhere and every
where that any has been done it was
badly needed and il was on roads
where there was great deal Of travel.
If you have not been out on the
Chillicothe or the Samantha pixies
recently you can not realize the inn
provement that has been made. They
are almost as smooth as floor and
are so graded that they will last for
years with but little improvement.
If the present board of commission
ers had done nothing else since they
went into office, they should be re-
elected on account Of their good work
on the pixies.
Good pixies are worth thousands of
dollars to the people Of Highland
county every year and If G. N. Carey,
g. f. Roberts and A. G. Cockerlll are
reelected Highland county will by the
expiration Of their terms of office have
the best pixies Of any county in Ohio.
Some people may say that all the
commissioners have done is to use
good sense in the work but that is
about all that is ever necessary to
have work done right.
The work is now being done right
and the people of Highlrnd county,
we do not believe, are so foolish as to
stop them in the midst of 1t and turn
1t over to men whose policy in the
matter they know nothing about.
We don't see how anyone who
travels these roads can do otherwise
than vote for the reelection of the
present commissioners.
