GOOD WORK WAS
ACCOMPLISHED
BY Governor Harmon, Who QuI-
etIy Brought Order Out of
Seeming Chaos.

Columbus, Especially ever
IN administration was entitled to
credit for legislative accomplishments
that one is the Harmon administra-
tion of Ohio.
In the face of the greatest posst-
Bile obstacles Governor Harmon led
the general assembly to enact more
laws in the interest Of all the people
than any chief executive who has oc-
cupied the Ohio gubernatorial chair.
Without doubt the most important
legislation enacted is the Winters
public utility bill. After a fight run
ming through his whole tenure of Of
fee the governor has succeeded in
giving to the people of Ohio a real
regulatory measure.
Under the provisions of the Win
ters bill every public utility corpora
ton in Ohio is absolutely subject to
regulation by the state utility COM
mission, which has been known as
the state railroad commission. Every
possible preeaution was taken in
whipping the bill into shape during
the last few days Of the session. Up
to the time of its passage the meas
ure was opposed by the powerful
Standard Oil interests in Ohio and
by the interurban railroad people.
They were almost successful in en-

Jennings. who was thrashing about
on a cot in Fallon's hotel, snatched the
thermometer and flung it saVagely
across the room. 1t narrowly missed
the proprietor Of that famous resort,
and broke into fragments against the
upholstered wall

ment, IF | was the Doc, I'd break

With an oath, the sick man con-
signed Mcfarland to eternal damna-
ton Then, growing indignant, he
continued: 81 didn't send no sherif's
posse after him. Who the devil asked
him to hang up his shingle in the
Spur, any way? Was anybody sick

And now Wally's down with the pip,

Fallon, addressing Mcfarland, who
was bending over his surgical case.

loaded a needle-pointed syringe I'm

Morphine? That's poison Amt it

Jennings was suffering too much to
notice the action of Mcfarland, who
deftly caught the miners wrist and
tabbed the needle under the bronzed
skin.

at the physician. who warded off the
blow and pinned his patients arms

set for $1,000 TO the latter. Later on
the purchaser, being informed that the
chairs were "fakcd,' wrote to the deal
cr and demanded his money back. The
willy dealer wrote back Il hurt and Of

that his honesty had been impugned,
but to show his good faith he would
be willing to pay 1000 guineas to get
the chairs back So it was done, and
within a few hours the nobleman's
receipt for that amount was being held
under the nose of an American mil
Honaire as proof that the chairs had
been bought from that well known

The sun flung a long russet trail
across the plain and up the mountain
slope, enveloping the form of the man,
lying, like one asleep, upon the green
sward, and the girl who knelt silently
beside him, staring with wild, dry eyes
into that pale face.
Nature was efecting change in the
landscape; the day was dying Nature
was also effecting change in the
man: he was returning to life. And
that return from period Of suspend
ed life, caused by the overdose of NOR
phine, was as gradual as the passing
of the day.
With returning consciousness, the
man opened his eyes. The first object
they beheld was the girl, her head
haloed with the lingering light There
was ecstatic wonder-madness almost
lin the look she fixed upon him; and
SO still she knelt there that, but for
the qulvering Of her half-parted lips,
he must have thought her some glor-
ious image, like those niched in cathe-
dral alsles. But he found, when his
arms were about her and her head
was on his shoulder, that she was only
a woman.

COMPRISING it's defeat, and had it not
been for the help Of friends of the
state administration the general as
sembly would have adjourned without
enactlng this important law.
There is no doubt but that Cover
nor Harmon will sign the bill. Re-
publican and Democratic leaders
alike declare It to be the best utility
control bill ever written into the stat
utes OF any state,
In a statement TO the public just
issued by Lieutenant Governor Hugh
Nichols, in discussing laws enacted
by this legislature he refers to the
passage of the Winters bill in this
language:
"This particular act is placed on
the statute books with a feeling Of
pride, it being asserted by it's spon-
sors that in fairness to the public no
law of a similar nature in any state
of the Union, especially New Jersey
Wisconsin, New York or Massachu-
sets, is its equal"
And Lieutenant Governor Nichols
adds in the next paragraph:
"The enactment of these several
laws is the work of accomplishment
of Governor Judson Harmon, secured
by persistent and tireless effort with
out anything of the spectacular or
theatrical Obstacles Of a seemingly
insurmountable nature were encoun-
tered-only to be finally overcome
and the fruits of victory can not be
withheld from Goveror Harmon"
Under the guidance Of Governor
Harmon the general assembly enact
ed 16 other important bills that the
enlightened citizens had been plead
ing for in vain for several decades.
These are:
The Oregon plan Of nominating and
electing United States senators by
direct vote of the people; placing the
Ohio judiciary beyond the clutches
Of party bosses by electing judges on
nonpartisan ballots; a law to make
provision for all injured worlmen
from a fund made up by employers
and employees; a corrupt practice act
that will make vote-buying in pri-
maries and elections a dangerous
undertaking; a limited initiative and
referendum for Ohio cities; a cen
trail board Of control for ninetee7
state institutions to take the place
of nineteen separate boards of trus-
tees with their corps Of employees
this bill places subordinate employees
in the institution under civil service
and, as predicted by those most ia
miliar with it's provisions, will save
tc the taxpayers annually not less
than one million dollars; abolishing
boards Of indrmary directors OF
three members each in every county
Of the state and turning their duties
over to the county commissioners,
thus making a large saving; a re-
form of Ohio election laws to pre-
vent corruption and fraud; to have
delegates to the 1912 Ohio constitu-
tional convention nominated by petit
tion only aud elected on nonpartisan
ballots; a nino-hour worllday for en-
ployed women; to stimulate the agri-
cultural industry by requiring agri-
culture to be taught in all Ohio vii
Iage and country schools; ratifica-
ton Of the proposed income tax
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton; memorializing congress to call
a convention to provide for the direct
election of United States senators;
.nsuring honest handling Of all state
money by depositing in banks under
the competitive bidding plan; a COM
plete reformation Of tax laws that
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-06-09

will put tax dodgers out Of business
and will compel corporations and
owners Of intangible property that
have been lodging taxes to place
their holdings on the duplicate the
same as small property owners Gn-
cluded in this is a l per cent tax levy
limit bilD; providing for the con-
struction Of a women's reformatory
and placing all girls in the state cor
rectional institutions under the con-
troll of women.
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-06-09

the committee agreed with him to a
man.
The girl protested that she had alb
solutely no fear, but Davis would hear
Of nothing now but that Mcfarland
himself should be given the hypoder-
mic. So it was that he changed places
with his wife, and she very daintily,
and not a little frightened, admins
tered the injection to him.
How long will it be before you
come out o. that, Doc?" asked Fallon,
as Mcfarland lay back on the blanket,
smiling at the girl who sat on the
grass beside him. her hand in his.
Three or four hours at the most"
was the reply.
The committee put in the time play
ing three-card monte They became
so interested in their game that it was
nearly five O'Clock, by Fallon's Water
bury when they threw down their
cards.
Amt it time he was wakin up?"
queried Davis, strolling over to the
girl.
She knew quite a little about medi-
cine, having quizzed Mcfarland in his
student days, and now, with a pretty
professional air, she felt Of his pulse.
1t was full, slow and strong. She
also noted that his respiration was
slow and deep, I'm afraid that might
have been a very large dose, and he's
not very strong" she returned, a trihe
anXiously. The effect may not pass
off for an hour yet"
The committee dealt another hand
around.
The girl kept her fingers on McFar-
lands wrist.
As the sun dropped lower in the
west, a look Of great anxiety spread
over Kate's features Bruces pulse
grew feebler, more rapid; his respira-
tons became distant, slower, and i'm
perfect, and were interrupted by in
tervals of almost death like quiet The
girl became frightened. She tried to
rouse her husband The men left their
cards and stood around her, looking
solemnly down at McFarland's pallid
face.
Cant you wake him?" asked Davis
"N-o!' she sobbed
Fallon ran to a nearby brook and
filing his hat dashed the water into
Bruces face.
Davis laid his ear to McFarland's
breast. Then he rose and, with a sigh,
turned away. Fallon bent over the
still figure, vainly seeking for some
show Of life. Finally he looked up at
his companions and shook his head.
It was a remorseful vigilance com
mittee that drew aside and consulted
as to what should be done. Fallons
suggestion-th he take the girl to
his wife and leave the committee to
bear the body to the shack-was
adopted But when he asked Kate to
go with him, she refused, and begged
them to leave her alone.
They left her then, Fallon promising
the others that in a little while he
would return with his wife.

DlsFleuRED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was dishgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago. where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies. and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (signed)i Mrs H.

EDITOR MAY FACE SENATE
H.H. kohlsaat Testiffes 100000 Fund
Was Raised to Elect Lorimer-
Refuses Informant's Name.

Springfield, Ill.-Whether Herman
H. Kohlsaat, editor and publisher of
the Chicago Record-Herald shall be
arraigned before the state senate for
contempt agitated the legislature
Wednesday.
Though the investigators on the
Helm committee asked question after
question in an endeavor to lead Mr..
Kohlsaat to reveal the name of an in
formant who told him of 100000 used
to secure William Lorimer's election
as senator, the persistent refusal Of
Mr.. Kohlsaat to reveal the name of
this informant frustrated the commit
tee. which went into executive ses-
sion to confer on what action to take.
The committee ruled that Mr.. Kohl
saat must reveal the name Of his In.
formant. Again the question was put:
is Mr.. Kohlsaat persistent in his re-
fusal to answer this question:" The
editor answered.: II am"
Mr. Kohlsaat thereupon was excused
until the committee again meets on
April 6. Meanwhile, the Investigating
committee will report his attitude to
the senate.
Drastic measures may be taken by
the senate committee IL Mr.. Kohlsaat
remains firm. The committee has the
power of the judiciary. and could i'm,
prison the editor for contempt.
The committee delegated Attorney
John j. Healy to notify ex-United
States Senator Albert ]. Hopkins Of
Aurora to appear before the commit
tee. If he fails to answer the sum
mons the matter Of his refusal will be
placed before the state senate for its
action. WI
