BIC DOCKET FOR
OCTOBER TERM. R
Sixteen Criminal Cases, Six of
Them Assault With Intent
to KilI-One Rape.

Judge Mathers, of Sidney, visited
this city Tuesday and assigned many
of the cases on the Common Pleas
Court Docket of the October term,
which begins a week from next Mon
day, the 30th.
The docket this term is heavier than
II has been for several years, about
eighty civil cases having been filed.
The criminal work before the grand
jury is also heavier than IL has been
for some time and besides the secret
cases which may come up before this
body, there is already on the docket to
be- heard six cases of assault with in
tent to kill; one for rape, one for forg-
cry, two for robbery, two for malicious
threats, one for provoking breach of
peace, and three for receiving exces-
sive fees as Justice of Peace.
One of the most important and far
reaching cases that will engage the at
ton of the court at this term will be
the famous Randolph slave cases,
which is a suit of the heirs of the slaves
of John Randolph, a Virginia planter,
TO recover valuable farm lands in the
south part of the county. These cases
come up again in the Common Pleas
Court on demurers, after being carried
TO the Circuit Court on tho grounds
that plaintiffs petitions were not sulIi-
ciont IN law.

BASEBALL

Celina entertained st. Marys to a
royal spread last Sunday serving them
large juicy ball game, nicely inter
spersed with wabbles, that great
Grump desert, dished up on a golden
platter and served with silver spoon.
1t might have been great game but
Old Man Grump took the horseshoe
on his eastern trip and lost it in the
scuffle following the first great game
of the worlds Series.
Big George Myers was pounded
pretty hard and hit safely in all but
one inning when he threw but three
balls, but even then he would have
won a victory if he had been accord
ed some support.
After the big fellow had struck Dog
get and Weiser out in the opening
frame Mays singled, stole second and
then third. Goodwin got base on
balls ond Plummer scored both with a
two bagger to left.
Celina retaliated in the third. Belts
famed. Bethel singled. g. Myers
sacrificed and was safe on Goodwin's
tumble of the throw. Cook tried hard
to help but went out on long fly to
clean two -bagger to the center garden
scored Bethel and Myers. Nothing
was doing after this until St. Marys
donated in the sixth. Ellis drove a
liner to short, which Dogget pulled
down in a sensational one hand catch.
G. Myers got hit on the foot with an
out drop, and stole second. Betz hit
long fly to center and Swartz fumbled.
McComb laid one down the first base
line, the play home to catch Myers
falling and all were safe. The little
back stop stole second. Weber rolled
out to Weiser, but Belts helped by a
single to right on which Betz and
McComb scored. 1t was Celina's game
and two until that ftful, frightful,
boomboozly eight, and wabbly ninth.
Plumer opened the eighth with a
single. Hedgcock followed suit and
Big George filled the sacks by hitting
the opposing twirler in the ribs. Then
Kahle, Konk, the popular little back
stop, done broke the golden egg. A
wild throw to third to catch Plumer
permitted him to score. Tobin flew
out to McComb and Weiser done like
wise to Belts. Dogget, however,
singled cleanly to left, scoring Hedg-
cock. Coe Ellis, who seldom goes a
blundering permitted the ball to go
through his legs and Swartz came
home with the tieing score. Then the
winning run closed the feast. Belts
fumbIed an easy grounder from Mays
bat. Goodwin laid one down the third
base line that couldn't be handled.
Plumer done the same thing and Big
George took the ball and with an
awful heave in an attempt to catch the
runner, threw the ball into the crowd,
It's over.

"Speaks a Philosophy
That Is on It's Last Legs

The Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph
Herald, edited by good Catholic lay
man, makes such reply to Cardinal
Gibbons that it deserves the widest
sort,of publicity.
The TeleR rlph- Herald says:
"In his trgument against direct
election Of UAIted States Senators Car
dinal Gibbons, noting that one reason
for the contemplated change is that
many of our state legislatures are
charged with being venal, and that it
is easier to corrupt the legislature than
the whole people, asks: If you can not
trust the members of the legislature
how can you trust their constituents
from whom they spring? If you can
not condde in our legislatures you can
not confde in human government, nor
in human nature itself.
THE argument is fallacious. With
equal consistency 1t might be asked,
III you can not trust her son, how can
you trust the mother that bore him?'
Or, IF you can not trust a commune
cant of the church, how can you trust
church, The turpltude of son does
MOT prove that his mother is not pure
Ind good. The sins of the church
/, Membar do not prove that the church
N Res not serve the mission Of Christ on
Nth.
80 the cardinals question might be
rted to his confusion: "Ifyon can
5krust tho people from whom they
N, how can you trust the repre-
ives of tho people?' The cardi-
oply to this probably would be

HOSKINS TELLS
HIS POSITION
AugIaize County Man on Record
in Favor of the Initiative
and Referendum.
Mere Statement That One VIII Do
the Best He Can Not a Sat-
isfactOry Answer.
TFrom an Editorial in the Auglaize
County Democrat.

From an Editorial in the Auglaize
County Democrat.
Hon. S. a. Hoskins in this issue
takes the voters of Auglaize county
into his confidence in the matter of
telling them where he stands relative
to what he hopes to be able to accom-
plish should he be elected delegate to
the State constitutional convention.
He declares for the Initiative and the
Referendum, and this plan of legislat-
ing for the people if properly deyel-
oped and applied will give the people
of the State the opportunity of holding
for themselves the fullest possible
right to legislate for themselves. The
right kind of an Initiative and Refer
endum privilege will vouchsafe for the
people a remedy for making public
officials 'be good" that has long been
a crying need in this country, and we
are mighty glad that Mr.. Hoskins has
decided that the people are entitled to
know what he cOntemplates doing for
them as delegate in that convention
in return for the votes he asks of them.
A mere statement that one is going
to do the best he can for the people ac-
cording to his lights is an entirely too
vague an enuneiation. A man can do
all that and still not amount to as
much as a row of beans so far as being
of any practical use in the convention
as a representative of the people.
If Mr.. Hoskins will work for an hon
est and effective Initiative and Refer
endum to be written into the Constitu-
tion he will be doing something that
will be worth while for the people. If
he will set himself thus to work he
should be potent force for bringing
about in that convention the adoption
of the Initiative and Referendum, for
he has had years of training as a law
yer which should stand him in mighty
good stead in presenting arguments to
his fellow members just what good
can be accomplished by the people in
having within their grasp such safe
guard, and we trust that there will be
large majority elected to member
ship in that convention who favor the
adoption of an effective Initiative and
Referendum.

resentatlves of the people than in the
people themselves. For our own part
we would not concede that it IS as
high. Moreover, it is self-evident that
it is easier to reach 100 legislators than
30'000,000 voters.
"This is a government Of, for and by
the people. 1t is government repub-
lican in form. 1t bore home to the
world proof that the power is resident
in the people themselves to work out
their own salvation independent of
king or prince. 1t is crushing re-
buke to the hoary lie that the few are
better qualified to order thelives of the
many than are the many themselves,
and that the few are wiser, more patri-
otic and more vlrtuous than the many
in their relations to government.
THE history of countries governed
under the doctrine of divine right is
history of oppression attended by
capitalizing Of the necessities and mis-
fortunes of the people.
The history of governments republi-
can in form is that this exploitation is
continued for the benefit Of those whom
wealth or intellectual force makes
powerful in the affairs of government.
The aristocracy of blood has gone the
way of the doctrine Of divine right.
Feudalism has gone the way of the di-
vine institution of private property.
An aristocracy of intellect is as alb
horrent in republic as an aristocracy
of wealth. We have as much to fear
from the evils last named as from the
two first named and of the latter two
as much to fear from one as from the
other.
Delegated Rovernment is the proper
power for intellectual aristocracy and
the aristocracy of wealth. Direct gov
ernment would make this in fact as
we'll as in form democracy in which
the will Of tho people would be SUI
preme-as supreme as II is ia England
to-day, or in France, or switzerland.
