GOING THE LIMIT

Just as some of the lingering leg
acies of the good old &. o. p. days be-
gan to congratulate themselves that
the Beatty probe committee couldn't
catch 'em, because the legislature will
adjourn pretty soon and the probe COM
mitttee cannot continue its investiga-
tions after the session, Governor Har-
mon gave out the tip that he intends
to have the graft probe continued
through the attorney generals office.
Great Scott! What does that man
Harmon mean? Doesn't he know that
the Republican papers of Ohio said
all last summer that he couldn't make
good his graft charges because Uncle
Andy Harris and all the other good
old g. o. p. soothsayers claimed that
all this talk about graft was pure Gus
sedness and campaign lies of them
dorned Democrats?
And now 1t is claimed that they're
going to get after some of them stew
ard fellows at state institutions next.
Gee-whiz! doesn't that man Harmon
know when he's got enough, instead Of
going right on and proving that it was
the other fellows who were taking
such liberties with the truth?
Where's this thing going to end,
anyway? Holy smoke! how that man
Harmon is making good on his graft
charges, after all. And he goes right
ahead whether the probe hits Repub-
licans or Democrats b e caus e,
as he says, he doesn't intend to
shield Democrats from investigation
and that all must be treated alike.
Just imagine Harris or Herrick
doing anything of the kind II you can.

IMPORTANT BILLS
Central Board Of Control High
on Calendar.

lieved of It's consideration after 1t
had held 1t for two months.
The Black bill, giving governors
power to remove mayors for failure
to perform their duties, Is second on
the calendar below the Alsdorf bill.
II has the recommendation of the
committee, but with numerous
amendments.
The measure which will attract the
most outside attention Is the Elson
telephone merger bill, which has al.
ready passed the house, and has the
recommendation of the senate com.
mittee on railroads. The bill will be
hotly contested on both sides and
sensational developments disclosed by
the Langdon house probing commit
tee may have some effect on its final
disposition In the senate
A strong attempt will be made to-
morrow to pass in the senate the Pat
terson bill abolishing the state fire

ferred to committee this evening,
and 1t is proposed to have 1t reported
out tomorrow and passed under sus'

GIGANTIC LOCKOUT IMPENDING

Berlin, April 11-Unless something
should intervene at the last moment,
this week will bring an almost COM
plete suspension of building opera
tions throughout Germany, as the i'm
mediate result of the general lockout
threatened by the organized employ
ers in the building trades, unless the
labor unions should accept their ulti-
matum. The organization of the en-
ployers comprises about $4,000 men,
bers throughout the country and the
lockout will involve directly about
100000 building workmen and indi-
rectly more than one million of other
workers, in some way allied with or
depending upon the building trades.
Numerous efforts to bring about
compromise have been made by the
government and prominent Officials
but failed in every case.

HISTORICAL PREceDENTs

Taft and Wade Ellis laughed heart
lily over the effect of the presidents
letter to Hy Davis disclaiming respon-
sibility for the appointment of Ellis
as receiver Of the &. o. p in Ohio.
Taft and Uncle Joe Cannon danced
the highland fling together at the
White House as the principal stunt of
the presidents complimentary din
ner to the speaker. Nero fiddled while
Rome burned. Belshazzar laughed
and made merry until the hand wrote
upon the wall Meme meme tekel up

Little things sometimes obtain
prominent places in history.
Nero would have temporized to ap-
pease the wrath of the Romans. Bel
shazzar would have given his king

world; with growing deficits in the ma

is fitting that Taft and Ellis should
laugh over the presidents political
blunders and that Uncle Joe should
dance with the president at the White
House.
But 1t doesn't necessarily follow
that the people in Ohio must vote
the way Taft and Ellis laugh or tn,
way Taft and Cannon dance.

CAN'T MAKE 1T RESPECTABLE

A member OF President Taft's cabi-

at the annual banquet this year Of the

The principal part of Mr.. Nagel's
speech was an argument In favor Of
ship subsidy.

tary OF commerce and labor.

ton. The labor part of II will come
out of the sweat and ton of the peo.
