the head of anybody who would write
or utter a remark like that seriously
or with deliberate intent to deceive,
because the head which would origi-
nate such a thought is empty and
would crush like an egg shell. What
ever the provocation 1t would result
in involuntary manslaughter to step
on head like that.
How could any public official sup
port the constitution If not able to in
terpret 1t? Nobody Of sound mind
will doubt or dispute for a moment
the ability of Governor Harmon to
interpret and support the constitution
in fulfillment Of his oath of office.
Governor Harmon knows what it
means to subscribe to and obey so
solemn and binding an obligation as
an oath of Office.
EPIDEMIC SPREADING
That epidemic of pOlicital "ill
health" at Washington broke into
President Taft's immediate political
family and carried off his private sec
retary.
Poor Carpenter And he was lauded
to the skies not moro than II months
ago, when his picture was in all the
Ipapers and it was Carpenter this and
ICarpented that and Carpenter every
thing. You we're almost persuaded
that Fred Carpenter was the most
prodigious iprivate secretary ever dis
covered.
After a little more than one year of
private sccrctaryinE to President Taft
poor Fred's "hcalth' got so bad that
he had to give mp his $65OO position
at the White House and accept a
81 900 job in Morocco.
It's too bod, but apparently II can't
he helped. This epidemic of Taftitis is
becoming terribly contagious.
ENTIRELY ORTHODOX
Who can question the orthodoxy OF
Speaker CannOn's suggestion to shoot
the insurgents? Has he not learned
the divine doctrine that Is practiced
by Theodore the shooter-shoot every
thing that will stand still long
enough to be shot at?
/ The insurgents have no reason to
complain because Speaker Cannon
would apply one of Roosevelt's most
potent "policies" to them
NEVER, NO NEVER.
| The Cochocton Tribune spunked up
sufficient courage recently to arise
land remark that the Republican party
has never lacked courage to do
/ things"
| It should have added "and others"
To complete both the sense and the
sentence.
STEPPING STONES
A Republican paper thinking to
Inc
ernor Harmon declares that he is
I"presidental aspirant who secs in the
governorship of the great state of
Ohio only a means to an end-mercly
u stepping stone"
Will the same 6. o. p. editor come
forward and say the same thing of
Mckinley and Hayes?
ONE BY ONE
There goes Fred Carpenter down
and out" along with Kerby and Pin
chot, and CLAWS, and others who
have fallen under the baneful epi-
demc of political 'fll health" that is
raging in Washington. Sadvery sad
IS IT NOT ENOUGH?
Again the cry is raised for Roose-
welt as a presidential candidate in 1912
After what the country is going
through now as an aftermath to two
terms Of Roosevelt?
DOOR or OPPORTUNITY OPENS
President Taft ought to be able now
to get private secretary who will
be entirely satisfactory to the Gug-
genhcims, Wickersham and Balllnger
Int will take a mighty strong one 20
pull through to the end of President
Taft's term without an attack OF "ll
health"
The door Of opportunity swung wide
open when Fred Carpenters health"
gave way and put him down and out,
DON'T FORGET 1T
A Republican paper says the issue
in Ohio this fall ca nbe stated in four
words, cannot be evaded or sidestep-
ped, and should be memorized by
every voter in he state. The four
words are WHAT HAS HARMON
lDONE?"
The answer is, "ALL HE COULD
lDO WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE
or A LEGISLATURE THAT WAS
HOSTILE INSTEAD OF HELPFUL"
Put that down, and memorize 1t too
Int cannot be evaded nor sidestepped.
INVITED BY DICK
It was really unkind of Senator
Dick to point out in his recent siz-
zling statement that several Repub-
llican candidates for congress and the
general assembly were nominated by
very meager majorities or mere plu-
ralities" but he did 1t to make his
Ipoint for he added, yet who VIII
gainsay or question that they are the
regular Republican nominees?"
YOU'RE right, senator, you're right
Nobody intends to gainsay or ques-
tion the regularity of those Republi-
can candidates for congress and the
general assembly who pulled through
