One of the Best Known Drivers Away
Of Dull Care Is a Native Ohioan.

Xenia.-Wilbur D. Nesbit, well
known because of his humorous rhym-
ing, is native of this city. Part of
an interview with him in Chicago
reads as follows:
I'm spite of the bald spot on the top
Of your head you appear to be young
man." We reptUTed, in order to make
him feel at ease.
II was born in Xenia, o., in 1871. A
brass plate on my birth place bears
the legend Main Street." he replied.
What did you attend in your
youth?" We pressed.
Public schools, lime kilns, saw
mill and the composing room of the
Cedarville Herald. All of these affairs
are, by the way, running to-day. and

MINERS GO OUT.
Many Are Not Satisfied With the Or
der-Ten Thousand Affected.

Bridgeport.-It is expected that the
men employed in three mines operated
by the Y & o. Coal Co. in this vicin-
ity, and an equal number run by the
same company in Western Pennsyl-
vnnia, and those of the Roby-Somers
Company in the Eastern Ohio field,
will remain out. Most OF them carried
out their tools, and this is taken to
mean that the strike order is to be
obeyed.
However, all the miners affected are
not pleased with the order. Many are
insisting that they should not have
been included, for the reason that
their companies hold no stock in the
mines in the TIlscarawas district and
thus should not have been made to
help bear THE brunt Of that contest.
The sympathetic strike will affect
about 10000, in addition to those al,
ready on strike in the Tuscarawas dis.
trict.

Liquor Men DISCOURAGED.

Liquor interests have almost given
up hope Of passing wet" bill. There
is indication that it would have less
votes than the Dean wet" municipal
tiles bill. 1t has been the desire of the
liquor lobby to start new measure in
the house. Several of the most no.
toriously wet" representatives have
been approached with appeals to intro
duce the bill. They have declined and
at least one of those asked to lend his
name has told personal friends that
he probably would be against the bill
If 1t reached vote. Leaders of the
wet" lobby appeared suddenly, then
went home. 1t has been reported from
day to day that the bill would be put
into both houses simultaneously. Sen
ator Dean, who has fathered previous
bills would present it to the senate.
The prospect of "wet" cities bill is
understood to have resulted in an
amendment to the Connaughton bill
cutting down from 10000 to 5000 the
proposed new limit for cities. But
13 municipalities would be thrown
back to villages, against As in the bill
as introduced.
Percy Andreae, chief of the brew,
ers' vigilance bureau. has sent let
ter to the brewers association, mem
bers, telling how it all happened to
the original Dean bill He declares
that 70 members of the house of rep
resentatives were pledged for the bill
when the session opened. Without
using names he charges IA represen
tatives with violating their word
Wayne B. Wheeler, Anti-Saloon league
superintendent, in a warm retort
says: 1.-THE statement is not only &
revelation of deceptive methods, but
in most particulars is false. Mr.. An
dreae's insinuation that large mum
ber of members of the house broke
their pledges in voting against the
Dean bill is false"

PRIZE CORN FOUND vALuELEss
Ohio Farmers May Have Difficulty In
Seed Germination-Weat Con-
ditions to Blame.

Columbus.-Ohio corn growers have
a serious time getting seed corn which
will grow, according to many reports
Sandles of the state board of agricul-
ture. The reports have come from
many parts of the state and it is de.
clared that weather conditions of last
fall are responsible.
EXamina tion of ears OF corn at the
experiment station at Wooster and by
students in the university have reveal
ed the fact that there is a large per-
centage of grains that will not grow at
all and many other ears, part of which
will be useless for seed.
Urges Testing of All Seed.
General complaint of bad corn for
growing purposes has come from grain
farmers should test ears from which
they wish to plant before placing the
seed in the ground. He says the meth
cd will save them from loss.
Early heavy freezes before the grain
had chance to dry out thoroughly
last fall are declared to be responsible
for present conditions.
Prize Corn Probably Worthless.
According to B. F. Hawley, OF Wood
stock, we'll known as a breeder of corn
who has acted as judge at corT
shows throughout the state during The
winter, goodly portion of the corI
displayed at the National Corn expo
sition will not germinate.
Even in spite Of conditions, Sandle'
does not believe it good policy fo
farmers to send west for seed corn
With care in selection of ears ant
careful testing before planting time
he believes that loss through failur
to grow can be prevented.

Columbus.-Gov. Harmon has writ
ten to G. c. Philbrick signifying that
he will contribute a cup to be con-
tested for by aeroplanes at the meet,
May 29-June 3, at the driving park.
The governor makes only one stipula.

which his cup is offered be one in
which the practical utility of the aero
plane shall be established. 1t is pre-
sumed that this contest will take the
shape of carrying freight or parcels

Doings of the
Buckeye Solons
Capitol Happenings Chronicled by
Special Correspondents.
Smith Bill Amended.

Opposition to the Smith l per cent.
tax limit was rampant at the public
hearing before the senate committee.
The chief bone of contention is that the
sinking fund levies for principal and
interest now are included in the bud
get and that the apportionment of the
various levies for different purposes
should be left to the budget commits
sion. That the limit, as prescribed in
the bill, would work financial ruin In
the larger cities was charged by those
appearing before the committee. Al
though those who appeared before the
senate committee did not know 1t, a
virtual agreement was reached for
amendments to the bill as it passed
the house. These concessions are eX-
pected to relieve much of the strong
est objections to the bill. One will
be an amendment exempting sinking
fund and interest levies from the rate
limit and control by the budget COM
mission. This exemption, however,
will not be permitted to apply to new
bond issues.
1t was urged before the house tax.
| alton committee by Attorney John G.
| White, member of the Cleveland IL
brary board. 1t will permit many
communities to escape the necessity
for an appeal to the voters to au
thorize higher tax rate.
Another amendment will be final
limit for the referendum rate. This
will be fixed at 1.5 or 2 per cent
Without this provision the rate au
thorized by referendum might go sc
high as to confiscate the income or
certain classes property. Repre-
sentative Smith, author of the bill
when heckled by members of the sen
ate committee and those appearing
against the bill, frequently lost his
temper.
Martin Reminder, secretary of tn,
Columbus sinking fund trustees, de
clared that to limit expenditures o
any city to their 1909 figures was I'm
scientific, and charged that under tn,

knew how much it could raise.

Attempted intimidation.

Attempts to intimidate and prevent
him from testifying in case of William
Cavanaugh, railroad switchman, charg-
ed with dynamiting street cars during
strike last summer, have been made
against Fred Willis, a molder. Not
took the stand and swore that Cav
anaugh placed dynamite on the street
car tracks even when policemen were
close by and where they could see
him. They were not regular police
men, said Wallits, but special officers.

NEGRO NAMED FOR HIGH POST

One of the leading negroes of the
country is William Henry Lewis of
Boston, who was nominated by Pres
ident Taft to be assistant attorney
general of the United States. From
obscurity and from the lowly condi-
tions of slave he has thus risen to his
present position of trust and RESPONSE
bility. He was born of slave parents
in Berkeley. Va, in 1868, while the
Civil war was raging in all its fierce
intensity. At the age of 23 he went
to New England and entered Am
herst college, where he made rapid
progress In his studies and became
captain of the football team. He was
the class orator at commencement,
and won two of the main prizes of
the college, He then entered Har-
ward. where he upheld his record Of
proficiency in his studies and develop
ed into an athlete. For two years he
played center In the football team
and was later one of the coaches. On
being admitted to the bar he began

MAYOR IS oUSTED BY WOMEN

The women of Seattle, Wash, exer-
cising their political power for the
first time, recently ousted from office
Mayor Hiram C. Gill and elected as
his successor George w. Dilling. While
the women did not accomplish this
work alone. they were in a large
measure instrumental in bringing it
about, so much so that the result
would have been different had they
not voted. Gill WAS elected mayor of
Seattle year ago by majority of
$500. Women were then denied the
right of suffrage, but in November
were clothed with that power. Almost
from the start Gill's administration
came in for sharp criticism.
AS soon as the woman suffrage
amendment to the constitution was
adopted last November the move
ment to recall" Gill under a provi.
sion of the city charter and elect a
successor to serve the unexpired term
took form and the women entered
into the camnaign with enthusiasm

The Kinble paint bill, requiring sale
under label showing percentage of

All Grants to Be Repealed.

No legislative session being COM
piete without reference to the once
noted electric mule, Representative
Smith of Butler filled the void by
introducing bill to repeal all grants
of rights to that enterprise, beginning
with the grant of 1898 to Thomas N.
Fordyce. The bill is said not to affect
pending litigation for authority of the
state board of public works to remove
the tracks from the banks of the
Miami canal below Dayton, but pre-
vents any possible resurrection of the
1efunot enterprise.

Columbus.-A great forward impetus
to the farming industry in Ohio is ex-
pected to result from the trip of the
agricultural special train, which just
completed it's tour to the northern part
OF the state. Never in the history of
the state has similar train been re-
ceived with such enthusiasm by the
farmers. 1t lis estimated that $4,000
of them paid visit to the car and
heard the lectures which were deliv-
cred by the experts in the party
Prices for Land.
The fact that land in Nebraska, Kan
sas and other prairie states is selling
at $3.50 to 5000 an acre, while 1t is hard
to get S1O0 for Ohio land, has awaken
ed the people to the value of science i'm
farming.
For several years the agricultural
authorities have been urging Ohio
farm owners to adopt scientific meth
ods burt the movement was slow.
Revival of Interest.
The decline of Ohio orchards and
the vitiated condition of the land has
alarmed them, however, and 1t Is ex
pected that the next few years will
see revival OF Ohios orchards and
farms until they will burst forth in al
their pristine glory and produce as
abundantly as any land in the country
Devoted to Education.
The entire trip has been devoted tc
educating the farmers in Northern
Ohio to the value OF fertiliZing anC
treating the soil, and to the care o.
orchards so THAT they will bear fruit

NEW MINISTER TO PORTUGAL

Henry Sherman Boutell, who has
represented the Ninth district of IL
linois in the national congress for the
past 13 years, but who failed of re-
nomination last year, has been nom-
mated by President Taft as minister
plenipotentiary to the new republic
of Portugal, at an annual salary Of
$4,000. He succeeds Henry T. Gage
of Los Angeles, Cal, who recently re-,
signed the mission because of ILL
health and to look after his private
interests in southern California.
Mr.. Gage was appointed minister
to Portugal in December, 1909, and
was in charge Of the legation at Lis
bon when the monarchy of King Man
uel was overthrown and the republic
of Portugal proclaimed In May, 1910.
He returned to the United States
soon after that event, and never has
been personally accredited to DIR.

SILENT MAN OF THE SENATE

The silent man of the United

Crane of Massachusetts. Mr.. Kean,
Mr.. Penrose and Mr.. Wetmore could
not be called babblers, but they are
noisy and disorderly compared to
Crane, and their economy of speech
becomes wasteful prodigality meas
ured by his standard Of conservation.
Crane would prefer to talk with his
hands If he could make himself under
stood that way. The Massachusetts,
senator hates any kind Of racket.
One could not imagine him banging
door, wearing squeaky shoes or sum-
moning page by clapping his hands.
No sound heralds his approach as he
comes down the senate corridor. He
does not walk, he glides about. When
nor gliding he is sliding, and when
not sliding he is fitting, The only
thing disturbed when Crane comes
into the senate or goes out Is the
atmosphere-he makes a slight draft,
