A SIDELIGHT ON JUDGE BLAIR

We have all read of the whole.
sale disfrachisement of voters in
Adams county. Ohio, by Judge
Albion 2. Blair for selling their
votes at the last election. The
following article from the Gin
cinnati Post throws an interesting
sidelight on Judge BIair's efforts
to stamp out corruption. The
article is under the heading,
WHERE WE KEEP STILL
The reader must have read con-
siderable about that debaucning
of voters in Adams county. There
were nealy 1000 arrests of small
farmer. newly naturalized foreign
ers doctor or two even a
minister or two for selling their
votes at from So to $40. The
thing had been going on for years
and had become such a drain on
campaign funds that the opposing
democratic and republican COM
mites got together and resolved
not to buy ss a matter of self
protect IN.
Judge Blair fined the guilty by
the numbered and disfranchised for
five years 1900 of them.
With pleasure we saw that long
line of-politcal sinners fling from
the presence of justice. denuded
of their base gains and dishonored
before their country men. for to
sell ones vote is one of the
blacklist of sins, a foul crime
against all of us, the government.
Yes. we looked that procession
of lifted, half-clad farmers and
farm hands over and said that
justice is a fine old female to
reach down from her pedestal and
punish this army Of villains who
would practically assassinate our
form OF government. But there
seemed to be something wanting
in that procession. Maybe justice
with the bandage over her eyes
had failed to see som ,thing. Ha!
When there is a sala there must
be buyers as well as sellers, and
there wasn't one buyer in all that
army of 1000 sellers. Why?
Listen to Judge Blair who at
Denver recently talked about how
he represented justice in the mat
ter of those Adams county sales:
81 prosecuted the vote seller
only. In the first place, he was
easier to catch. n tina second
place. the buyer. l believe, was
honest. ! mean by this that he
was working for his party. His
attempt to buy votes was a sincere
effort, according to his light, to
help his own side, while the vote
seller had no prin :iple nor even
party loyalty to back him"
We would like 20 make some
comment on this that would do
somebody some good somehere.
1t Is impossible. The failure of
justice. the rank partially of
justice, the recall of the judiciary,
and other live matters suggest
themselves. but the editorial spirit
quails and would produce mere
driVel should It expatiate on this
latest layout Of morality and
judicial policy. We are but
human. Even the greatest among
US editors is occasionally rendered
speechless. Here's where we'er
speeches.. We leave Judge Blair's
kindly exposition Of the briber's
honesty and superb sincereity as
the last word to he said.

A Hopeful Message TO Scalp Sufferers

Dandruff now-bald later. The same
is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald

anything but temporarily relieve the
itching and cake the dandruff so It
doesn't fall until its dried out again.
Nothing can cure-really cure such
troubles but a real scalp medicine that
will kill the germs causing dandruf

With HUNGRY CROOKS
FIOFidian Prepared For City
TOughS

New York, June S.-A we'll dressed,
prosperous-looking, middle-aged man,
wearing a large diamond stickpin and
carrying a cane walked into a restal-
ram on Broadway, near Sixty-eighth
street early today and ordered some
and a glass of milk. He
took out a large roll of bills with yell
lowbacks on ten outside, paid for the
down.
Two young men who had seen the
money seated themselves by his side
and one of them asked for a cigarette,
while the other worked his arm be-
hind the chair and tried to get at the
pocket where the money had been
placed The stranger felt the hand,
jumped to his feet and asked what the
young men were doing. They adj
vanced upon him threateningly.
The older mans cane proved to be
the kind that had a sword concealed
in it, and drawing the blade, he rush
ed at the would-be robbers, who fed
to the street. He followed, but there
was no policeman in sight, and they
escaped.
The man returned to the restau-
rant and told the manager he was a
fruit grower in Florida and was stop
ping at one of the Broadway hotels.
He said he had heard of New York
crooks" and bought the cane to be
prepared for them.
