campaign that Ohio will set IL prece-
dent for all other states to follow when
they come to rewrite their organic laws.
Nominations Of delegates wiz be
made by petition only, and nominees
will be elected on ballots absolutely
free from party device or emblem or
any form of party designation. The
liquor question, which has been a sore
spot in Ohio for sixty years. will be
finally settled when the new constitu.

The state when Governor Harmon
grasped the reins of government had
nineteen penal, reformatory and benev
olent institutions, with the responsible
fly Of governing them divided among
nineteen separate boards Of trustees,
three members to a board. They were
so conducted as to secure neither econ
Omy nor best results.
These trusteeShips, all honorable
positions and eagerly sought after. had
been used as sort of currency 10 pur-
chase nominations and 10 repay the
boys who had delivered votes in con
ventions. The trustees appointed su-
perintendents and all Subord mates.
and these combined TO furnish the
dynamic power for the steam roller
which the late Mark Hanna and Boss
George B. Cox used to crush the life
out of rebelIions against the rule of
the G. o. i machine.
Governor HarmOn's idea was that
1.-The establishments which Il Christian
state maintains for charity are sacred
and that every selfish purpose should
perish at their doors"
Acting on this principle, the governor
framed and forced through the general
assembly a bill placing all employees
of the institutions ranking below su-
perintendent under civil service rules,
The nineteen separate boards of trus-
tees and nineteen stewards under this
law were Iegislated out of office. and

GOD MADE A WOMAN. =

Madison Cawein, in New York SUM-
Then full of hate, with eyes of stone,
God fashioned woman from bone;
First came the heart, to curse and
bless,
And filled with love and wantonness,
All hells delight, a htaven's distress.
Then to Himself God, smiling, said
The hearts the least; far more the
head"
And DER the heart He nodded fair
The bright destruction of her hair,
And therein set for man a snare.
In front God painted fresh her face,
All innocent, divine Of grace;
But underneath the angel men
He hid devil, dark, unclean,
A monster thing whose gaze was
green.
Into the face He set the eyes,
Full of beguilment and surmise,
Of prayer and passion, make believe
The soul of man God meant to grieve
The nose and mouth He fashioned
next;
The nose precise; the mouth perpleXed
With virtue and the quenchless thirst
For fruit forbidden, blest and cursed
With longings for the best and worst,
Then loud God laughed and said again
without the body all were vain!"
And underneath the head He set
The neck and breasts, like roses met;
And arms; all portions of the net.
The toroso then and limbs of snow
He made and fixed them fair below;
And in her feet and in her breast
He breathed the spirit of unrest,
And vanity of soul distressed.
Behold" God said "My masterpiece!
Through whom the world shall know
increase,
And man will give Me thanks, / know,
And praise My work; and, heart aglow,
Accept My gift and all his Woe"

Happy in the thought that she is mine,
