Redemption of the Recordership.

It is to be hoped that the President has
not formed or will not carry out the in

when change is made, an importation

pose the next democratic national ticket
Would it make a difference that the
two men are near neighbors? The geo.
graphical question has always Influenced
the naming of national tickets. No one
section has ever been drawn upon fol
both the first and the second place. II
the cast got first place, the west or {
middle state got second. and vice versa
Sectional pride has always been an ele-
ment in the calculation.
Ohio and Indiana were at one time
known as October states. That is to say
the state officers in presidential years
were elected in 'October-a month before
the polling for President That arrange
ment gave the two states great prom
incnce in presidential years, and the big
drums were beating early and late. Then
came the change in the state elections
from October to November, and. later,
the change which has kept both states in
the republican column for a long time.
Despite this southern prediction, the
democratic ticket is not likely to be Iar-
mon and Marshall. II either Ohio or In
diana draws first prize, the east-prob
ably New York-will draw second, and
If the east-New York, say-draws first
either Ohio or Indiana will draw second

The Busy Biographer.
,ad about a general bold

/ read about a general bold
They talked of what he wore,
Likewise the stories that he told,
And favorite oaths he swore,
The battles he made out to win,
In verbiaSe dense were hid
They seemed least interested in
The things he really did
l read about statesman great:
They talked about his hair
And named the dishes that he ate,
Clear through the bill of fare,
And though a man Of record good
And high in public trust,
The principles for which he stood
Were scantily discussed.
j read about a poet fine
They told his love affairs,
And whether he had cash to dine,
And all his household cares.
And though the pages would display
A wealth of anecdote
They hadn't very much to say
About the things he wrote.
And so, Dame Gossip, sprightly prie,
In letters led the lot.
The things that made men really big
Were speedily forgot,
And, seek to blow it as he may,
Ambition finds full soon
The Trump of Fame will often play
A very trifling tune.

one with others. Congress is the only
judge as to the course to be pursued after
the Morrill, acts have been extended 10
the District. In designating a particular
institution it is acting as the local legis-
lature. Why should the educators of ILL.,
nois or Ohio dictate to the legislature OF
New York or New Jersey or the District
of Columbia against the designation by
those legislatures of such institutions as
Cornell, Rutgers or George Washington
as the instrumentalities under the Morrill,
acts?
Whether George Washington alone or
George Washington with others or none
of the institutions now existent in the Dis
trict is chosen for this purpose, the re-
sponsibilty rests upon Congress as the To-
cal legislature, that body in its national
capacity having fulfilled its function in
extending the Morrill, acts to the District.
If Congress should, after thus extending
tho acts. choose to delegate to the District
commissioners its power of selective des-
jgnation, the educators of Illinois and
Ohio and Tennessee would have abso-
lutely no standing before the heads of the
District government when the time came
for the selection of an instrumentality.
AS for the designation of George Wash
ington by the pending measure. the case
resolves itself to this proposition: George
Washington has already an equipment for
the education of the youth of Washington
along the particular lines designated by
the Morrill, acts; this equipment cannot
be maintained if the appropriation carried
by the bill is not received. Why should
the young people of the District, for
whom the protesting educators heard yes
terday plead SO eloquently, be deliberately
deprived of instruction in the agricultural
and mechanic arts for the sake of which
the Morrill, acts were originally passed?

The Mob Germ.

From the Baltimore Star.
Deep beneath the glowing health of
our civilization is "A cancer of lawlcss-
ness. At intervals it crops out upon
the surface, and we have lynchings, riots
and other flares against law and order
such as the miserable events in Cairo.
ILL.,, and in Philadelphia. Here the out
cropping is we'll defined. Less notice
able is that evidenced in the boy who
plays hockey in the society woman
cheating for card prize, the respectable
smugglcr of petty trihes, the persons
who boast of Withholding a five-cent car
fare unless strongly demanded by the
conductor. The same germ is there and
to the virulent forms. Nothing but
prophylaxis, the sternest moral hygiene,
rigidly enforced by earliest training, may
stamp out its growth.

Mr.. Kitchin and Mischief.

Mr.. Kitchip's speech in the House yes
tcrday was at once entertaining and good
politics. 1t contained the valuable ele-
ment of mischief 1t touched the opposi-
ton on the raw. The regulars were
complimented, and the insurgents ridi-
culed Aspirations for reform in House
proceedings were examined. The racket
sounds real and earnest, but in this world
things are not always what they seem.
Mr.. Kitchin refused to believe in the gen
uinenesS of all the professions regis
tered in the name of reform.
This sort of thing as mischief is serv-
iceable in political shindy. The TRACE
dian shrinks from cat call. 1t breaks
him all up" He wants the scene to go
smoothly and be accepted seriously.
Otherwise. he loses his balance, forgets
his lines, and strays from the picture.
If any portion of the audience becomes
irreverent. the calculated effects are i'm
paired, and if the curtain descends on
hilarity all is lost.
There is some reason for the opinion
that all of the republican denunciation
of Cannonism has not been sincere. Not
every man who has made Mr.. Cannon
his target has sent his heart along with
his shaft. Some men have fired on him
because of his refusal to advance their
political fortunes, but some have done
so toward whom he has been kind. These
latter, finding themselves between Mr..
Cannon and their constituents, have, in
spirit of self-preservation, repudiated
the man to whom they are in debt AL
though on the scene, they did not dis
cover the enormity of Cannonism until
it was pointed out to them by persons
at distance.
But maybe Mr.. Kitchen was not in
dulging altogether in mischief. He may
have been speaking with an eye to the
early future. He thinks. as do many of
his party friends, that the next House
will be democratic, and. from service. he
knows the difficulties in the way of trans
acting congressional business. He under
stands that democratic occupant of the
chair could not be made powerless by
his party without injury to the party's
usefulness in the House. The Speaker
must be more than a presiding officer-a
mere putter of motions, and q decider of
votes by the sound-f such direction is
to be given to business as will save time
and produce results.
If Mr.. Clark takes the gavel in Deem
Der, 1911, We shall see a striking illustra-
ton of the difference in this matter 'twixt
tweedledum and tweedledee. Judge Crisp
succeeded Mr.. Reed in the speakership,
and smilingiy gave Mr.. Reed large doses
of his own medicine, the democracy ap-
plauding. If the opportunity presents
itself, watch Mr. Clark turn the same
trick.

A good sized and appreciative

THE House of a Thousand Cand-
les at the Geyer Grand Tuesday
night. The audience expected
something good and they got it.
The east was a capable one from
the lead to the minors.
Mr.. Richmond as John Glennon
was all that COULD be expected.
His part was an odd one. That
he pleased the audience at all
times was very evident, Mr.
Richmond carried this role last
year and his acting at that time
pleased the audience beyond a
doubt.
Mr.. Richardson Cotton, the but
Ter, was a strong and impressive
actor. This part was a difficult
one and Mr., Cotton got the most
ont of it.
In the female role Miss Hamp-
ton as Marion Devcroaux ear
ricd the star role. Miss Hamp-
ton has a fine stage appearance
and her acting was far above the
average. AS for the rest Of the
cast, every part was well hand
led. The House of a Thous-
and Candies was played here
last year. and pleased the theater-
goers of Lexington and their
return was cause for rejoicing,

Grand promises more good plays
this season and will do all in
his power to please the Licking
