GOOD NEW S FROM
OHIO

The Democratic legislative caucus in
Ohio has nominated Atlee POmerene
for United States senator. The caucus
nomination will be confirmed by the
legislature next week and pro
gressive Democrat will succeed a re-
dictionary Republican. Mr.. POmerene
was opposed by Willard NJ. Hanly, who
is connected with various corporations
identified with the Standard Oil inter
ests. After the legislature was elected
a series Of joint debates was held be-
tween the two candidates, and while
Mr.. Hanly was not without supporters,
it soon became evident that the trend
of public sentiment was favorable to
his progressive opponent. - Milwaukee
Journal.
This good news from Ohio promises
well for the Democratic party and for
representative government. Years ago,
in the election of Henry B. Payne
and Calvin S. Brice from Ohio to the
u. S. Senate inmesurable harm was
done to Grover Cleveland's reform poll
cies. Nominally they were Democrats,
but in fact they were tory representa-
tives of special interests. They oppo-
sed tariff revision downward, and, with
others Of their kind, dealt and dickered
most shamefully, to the great disgrace
and hindrance Of the Democratic party.
There is indeed hope in the political
news from Ohio
1t is to be hoped this victory for good
government will be followed by another
such victory in New Jersey. The cleo
ton there of Mr.. Maritime, who was
championed by Gov. Woodrow Wilson,
is greatly to be desired.

Succeeds W. E. Corey as Presi-
dent of Huge Corporation.
SELECTION CAUSES SENSATION
Judge Gary Issues Statement in Which
He Comments Upon the Ability
of Mr.. Farrell in Most Com
pIimentary Manner.

New York, Jan. Thames A. Far
rell, president Of the United States
Steel Products Export company, the
subsidiary of the United States Steel
corporation which handles it's export
trade, has been chosen president Of
the United States Steel corporation it.
self, to succeed William E. Corey,
whose resignation was announced a
few days ago, in statement issued
by Judge e. H. Gary, chairman Of the
finance committee. The announce
ment of the selection of Mr.. Farrell
was made after the regular Tuesday
was unexpected generally.
In connection with the subioined
statement issued after that meeting,
Judge Gary said that all of the mem
bers of the finance committee had
been present, including himself,
George Baker, William E. Corey,
Henry G. Prick, J. P Morgan, Jr.,
George w. Perkins, Henry Phipps,
Norman B. Ream, and Peter A B.
Widener The statement reads:
"The finance committee of the
United States Steel corporation after
consulting individual members of the
board has decided to recommend to
the board at it's next regular meeting
the election Of Mr.. James A. Farrell
as president Of the corporation.
''Mr. Farrell has been the president
of the United States Steel Products
company ever since it's organization
in 1903 and as such has demonstrated
great business capacity. He has been
connected with the manufa curing and
commercial departments Of the iron
and steel industry for more than
twenty-five years and is qualified to
fill the position
Prominent among the reasons given
a few days ago for the belief that the
steel corporation would not soon
choose new president and that per-
haps it might not again fill that office
was the statement, founded on what
Judge Gary himself said in his formal
announcement of the retirement of
Mr.. Corey that presidents Of the sub
sidiary companies had been found
competent to handle all the details Of
manufacture in which Mr.. Corey and
Mr.. SchWab before him had been SO
expert.
When questioned regarding this ap-
parent contradiction in the selection
of yet another practical steel man to
head the corporation, one of the high
officials of the company said that in
the first place Mr., Farrell was scarcely
to be considered in the same expert
class as either Mr.. Schwab or Mr..
Corey so far as the manufacturing
processes go, and that in the second
place there had been some changing
of minds the last few days among the
members of the finance committee re-
garding the amount of detailed execu.
tive work which Mr.. Gary can handle
alone. 1t has proven, he said, en-
tirely too much for one man, and the
selection of new man for the presi,
dency resulted largely because of that
conclusion.

laws Providing for Guaranty
of Deposits Constitutional.

The Springfield Mass Republican:
Such laws as have been enacted in OK
lahoma. Kansas and Nebraska bringing
state banks into a mutual guaranty OF
deposits now have their constitutlonallty
affirmed by the United States supreme
court-a decision calculated to cover
with some confusion one or two lower
federal courts in the West which pro
nounced such laws invalid as IN one IA
ture of taking private property Without
due process of law. This final outcome
was to have been expected. We point
ed out at the time that if laws provid
ing for a mutual guaranty of deposits
were invalid. then all schemes under
consideration for bank currency reform
on the basis of issues against assets
protected by mutual guaranty fund
would have to be given up as unconsti-
whole business. The bank deposits are
only one form of bank credit and iabil
ity. while bank circulating notes are
only another form of the same thing,
and if the one cannot validity by law be
protected by mutual guaranty fund,
no more in all reason can the other. 1t
is fairly to be concluded that western
federal judge or judges who pronounced
the said laws invalid were little ac-
quainted with the principles of the
banking business or the requirements
of the county in relation thereto.

MISS NORA DAVIS
 TO WED ENGLISHMAN

Announcement was recently made of the engagement of Miss Nora Davis, the sister of the author, Richard Harding Davis. She is to wed the Rev. E. Percival Farrar of London, the rector of Sandring- ham and domestic chaplain of King George.
 Miss Davis is member of most n- the late MT. and Mrs. Clarke Davis of Philadelphia, the former, until the time of his death, editor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Mrs. Davis was known to many readers as Rcbeeca Harding Davis, and wrote many charming tales under this pen name. The literary talent of the two parents descended to the sons, one of whom is Charles Belmont Davis. whose stories are familiar to magazine readers, and the other. the popular writer, Richard Harding Davis, who is best kpown, perhaps, through his writings as | correspondent, principally from South Africa, but as delightful teller of tales gathered through his varied experiences
 Miss Davis, however, has been more devoted to music than to the pen. Since her mothers death she has spent most of her time across the waters, and is at present most congenially settled in Dres- retary of her father and it was then that the friendship was formed which culmln- ated in an engagement.

WHERE MAUDE ADAMS HAS A HOME

Few actresses cast so complete a charm as Miss Maude Adams who however much has been written of her art and her personality, has kept herself singu- larly free from close contact with the people
 It is with especial interest that the readers of an exchange this week noted a line stating that Maude Adams, after being absent two summers, would this season, occupy her home in Onteora. For, Onteora, in the Catskills, is a place colonized, so it is said with many bril-
 liant people and 1t iu altogether fitting that the delightful little actress should have made her home there. Though she travels much she has a quaint cottage n Onteora. Its grounds are left in rouch woodland, through which the entrance drive is so skilfully led that the arriving guest fig at the front door almost be- fore the house itself has been seen Her nearest neighbors are MT and Mrs. V Evertt Macy. the former well known as a student of sociology. Miss Annie Flint, the daughter of Dr.. Anson Flint, is an other cottage owner. She has prestige as an author aside from social position, and in this way is representative of the people who enjoy life at Onteora. Mr. and Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes visited Miss Luisita Leland, a very pretty young so- ciety woman, who is an amateur singer, fast summer at her cottage. Many other people prominent in the social life of New York and Washington stayed at the inn at Onteora or visited the eottagers last summer.
