HON. JUDsON HARMON, GOVERNOR OF OHIO

When Democratic legislators jump
ed the party traces and refused to
stand for any of these bills, both
Governor Wilson and Governor Har-
mon disregarded party ties and went
over to the Republican side and got
sufficient votes to have them enact
ed.
In his message to the Ohio general
assembly demanding the enactment
Of pending measures, Governor Har-
mon, in addition to the bills in his
legislative program enumerated above,
advocated the abolition of the party
emblem in purely municipal elections;
smaller city councils, with large part
OF whom elected at large; the nomira-
ton by state wide primary elections
of all who are in any way to act for
Or represent the state officially or pO-
litically and the non-partisan nomina-
ton of judges. The general assem-
bly,, however, disregarded Governor
Harmon's suggestion with respect to
the last four bills.
A Record of Progressiveness.
Judson Harmon has been called q
conservative and this is true if con-
servatism means one who does not
suddenly rip up governmental ma
Chirery without first constructing a
new and better driving power to sue
coed the old.
A non-partisan judiciary bill which
will place all judges beyond the do
main of politics, a working mems
compensation act and public utili-
ties bill are among the big measures
on the Harmon legislative program
that Ohioans claim are far in advance
of any such legislation in the United
States.
After the Ohio general assembly ad-
iourned Lieutenant Governor Nichols
issued a statement in which he said:
"It is an undeniable fact that the
present general assembly has a legis-
Iative record to it's credit, of a bene-
fcent nature unequaled by any legis-
lature that has convened since the
in 1851.
"The enactment of these several
laws is the work of accomplishment
of Governor Harmon, secured by per.
sistent and tireless effort without
anything of the spectacular or theatre.

surmountable nature were encounter
ed-only to be finally overcome-and
the fruits of victory cannot be with.
held from Governor Harmon.
s'In his work thus set forth and &c.
complished he was obstructed at ev-
cry turn by a strong and powerful
Inlinority-whose constant efforts
seemed to be to prevent the passage
of these various laws.

"BlLLIK!N" IS PREHISTORIC
ences Finds the Original in
Mounds of Arkansas.

Philadelphia.-The field COMMITTEES
of the Academy of Natural Sciences,
of Philadelphia, has found the original
"Billikin" in searching the prehistoric
mounds of Arkansas. The report of
the commission Of it's work during the
year just closed has been made by
Prof. Clarence B. Moore, who was in
charge. The work consisted of open
ing the mounds found on the St. Fran
els, Little, White and Black rivers,
where vast number Of skulls and rel
les were discovered. OF the former,
SO boxes were forwarded to the Unit
ed States museum.
Although 1t was unfortunate that
the commission were not permitted to
examine the mounds north of Lepanto,
their quest on the ST. Francis river
was fairly successful. Nineteen pre-
historic cemeteries were visited and
670 graves were opened. Fifteen GEM
eteries were searched on White river
two on Little river and eleven on
Black river.
Among the points brought out in the
report of the commission is that guam
tity rather than quality marks the
pottery of the st. Francis basin. OF

house Of his own and do his own cook
ing. He talked the matter over with
his friend, Ed Smiley, drayman.
Smiley lives out on a hill overlook
ing the Park lake and he told Dewey
he could set up his habitation at the
corner Of his property
The lad had few dollars in the
bank. 1t took his entire reserve to
settle for the box, put in a door and
window, and for an Oil stove and small
lamp. Heavy blankets are laid on the
floor, the cooking utensils being on
shelves in the far end. Dewey has
slept in his little box house the coolest
nights of winter, and declares he
never suffered. All the cracks are
made rain proof, and once inside, with
the door closed, Dewey is as snug as
the millionaire in his brownstone hab-
itation.
There isn't much room for exercise
in a house five feet by three, and
when Dewey wants to cook or sew up
his trousers he rolls up his bed to Sc
cure place for the operation.
The young householder fares we'll
on ten cents a day, his bill of fare be-
ing potatoes, fried apples, buns, meat
now and then and milk or coffee. He
has learned to cook all these things
we'll, and enjoys them in camp style
better than he would at a fine res
taurant.

COMPARISON OF GOVERNOR HARMON'S AND

Columbus, O., June.-dovernor JUDI
son Harmon, Of Ohio, ana Governor
Woodrow Wilson. of New Jersey,
both considered Democratic presi,
Dental timber from coast to coast,
have impressive programs of legislas
ton to their credit.
Both met with opposition in their
party ranks when they championed
lending measures and both made
fights to obtain legislation they be-
l1eved the people wanted and needed.
Governor Harmon won out over great
er obstacles, for an investigation re-
suited in bribery charges being fled
against several legislators, who had
been opposing his bills. Most of the
important legislation in Ohio came
after the bribery charges were filed.
By persistent pounding and hammer
ing, Governor Wilson succeeded in
pulling his reform bills through the
New Jersey legislature.
Governor Wilson's legislative
achievements are better known out
side his native state than are Gov
ernor Harmon's, for the reason the
latter has been tied down H. Columbus

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct IS, 1908, and when three months
old slight rash appeared on his
cheek What appeared to be q wa
ter blister would form. When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a nass Of
scabs and you could not see par
ticle of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, IN
deed some OF them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
- Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told US to
battle the baby in buttermilk. This
did not do any good, SO we took him
to hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice week and he got
worse, If anything. We then called
in another doctor and inside OF a.
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
eve decided that it could not bo
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them in May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from the skin disease. There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mimi,

The Worth of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice.!
1t is indeed the organ of the soulH
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
sound alone betrays the flowing Of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man.
