AS BECOMING A
LOT OF JACKALS
A Coterie Of Newspapers TO Gain
a Little Notoriety Continue
TO Assail John Romer,
Yet Before Grand Jury They
Acknowledge the Perfidy of
Their Utterances.

The Observer in its issue Of October
2s criticized Governor Harmon for At
torney General Denman's neglect Of
duty. II complains with a great show
injured innocence because Governor
Harmon did not send Attorney Gem
eral Denmen to Celina to investigate
the sewer pipe deal. Did the Observer
explain why the Republican Attorney
General did not come on his own ini-
tiatiye2 Not a little bit. Perhaps,
Adolph gave this Repu blican Attorney
General a quiet tip that there was
nothing to it, that he (Gil ilberg) and sew
eral other editors had been called be-
fore the grand jury but admitted they
knew Of nothing wrong, and that the
little game was for political consump-
ton only.
But why did not Denman come 20 in
vestigate? Is the Attorney General of
Ohio 10 do nothing until ordered by
the Governor When was the law
so twisted? Every intelligent citizen
Knows that IL is the duty OF the Attor-
ney General TO act without any order
from the Governor.
But the Attorney General did not
come. The reason no doubt was, he
either had no faith in Gilberg's rum
ming off at the mouth, or else, knowing
Prosecuting Attorney Romer person
ally, as il appears he does, knew that
Romer would investigate every matter
that came to his attention.
And perhaps Denman had still bet
ter reason for falling to come to Mer-
Ger County. Maybe he had learned
that Gilberg Of the Observer, Phillips
of the Advocate, Irelan of the Tribune
and Spade of the Wiltshire Herald had
been summoned before the Mercer
County Grand Jury to verify their
insinuating charges, told and retold,
and in pitiable confusion and humilia-
ton admitted they had no knowledge
of the things they were attempting to
instill in the public mind about the So
called sewer pipe deal. Were there
ever such a venomous set of jackals
bent on defaming a man whose life is
an open book and beyond reproach?
Who OF them is fit to blacken his boots,
let alone blackening his characterter
by all the contemplate insinuations
that Kissing adopts could employ.

If people want the tax rate reduced
in Mercer County they will have to let
up on public improvements-building
roads, bitches, bridges, few less
criminals and a few other things. They
all cost money and the foreigner" has
to pay it all. Nineteen new pixies last
year didn't lower the tax rate any.
The 1O2 pike superintendents last year
expended $14, ,7OS. 72 in their work, but
you needn't damn the county officials
they didn't make the laws or compel
you to build the roads. The $4,000 for
making the real estate appraisements
this year was not of their making. They
didn't pass the law requiring the erec-
ton of a tuberculosis hospital. They
did not force you to dredge the Wabash
River. They are not responsible for
the increase of crime and the continual
growth in court expenses; your part
nership with the saloons is responsible
for that. Don't kick about the addi-
tional blind relief blll booze and its
attendant evils are responsible for that.
Kick yourself once in a while, while
you are kicking county officials.

A few steel corporation men dined in
Chicago a short time ago, and they
were said to represent two billion dol

had been created in the past few years
out of the sweat and blood of suffering
humanity. But suffering humanity
hasn't sense enough to think little or
how to vote on election day.

Some Republicans are scratching
their heads and wondering what all
this talk about John Romer is FOR, any
how. They never heard his biherest
opponent say that he had ever taken a
penny from the county in an illegal
way, nor flched a penny from any
man, woman or child in a business
transaction or any other way. Can
any one say as much for those who
have been assailing John Romer. One
would think from the spewings of the
Observer and its me-too associates of
dirty, insinuating habit, that he had
stolen the county blind. John Romer's
ONLY CRIME has been that he could
not convict three county commission
ers on the EVIDENCE OF ALLEN O..
MEYERS (now dead, who served time
for participation in election frauds at
Cincinnati), GEORGE w. PHILLIPS
(who has done enough dirty work to
merit life sentence, ADOLPH GIL

lent character and in good standing

THE GRIM REAPER

A tiuge of unusual sadness sur
rounded the death of Guy o. Beough-
er, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Beougher, living two miles northeast
of Coldwater, which occurred on Thurs
day, the 9th ult. He took suddenly
i'll the previous Monday while at play,
and suffered intensely until his young
life was claimed by the dread disease.
The family was quarantiDed and the
neighbors were not allowed to go in
their home to- assist them during the
sickness and death of their son. This
made it harder for them to bear. They
have the sincere and heartfelt sympa-
thy Of their friends and neighbors in
their bereavement.
Guy Oklahoma Beougher was born
October 2, 1892, and died October 27,
1910, aged years and 25 days.
Little Guy was very bright and ac-
tive child. Just before he passed away
he talked of his Sunday school teacher
and said he was ready to go. He will
be missed not only in his home, but by
his Sunday-school class and teacher.
No funeral services were conducted.
Interment at Swamp College Cemetery.
