Statistics Law NuIIified,


Credibility of the birth statistics Of
the state bureau of vital statistics,
which works in cooperation with the
census bureau at Washington, was
potentially impaired, IL not destroyed,
by the decision of the supreme court,
declaring invalid the provisions Of the
law for fining physicians and mid
wives who neglect or refuse to fur
nish full data regarding parentage to
the local registrar. \
The court left in force the provi-
sion, making it the duty of physicians
and midwives in confinement cases to
report births, but nullified the require
ment that they furnish such detailed
information as is most valuable for
statistical records, as age, occupation,
birthplace, color and race of the
child's parents, and by multiplying the
penal section, made it impossible for
the state registrar to get any birth
returns at all unless made voluntarily.
The bulk of the medical profession
is willing to cooperate in the max
ing of Ohio vital statistics of real
value, but number of physicians, in
Guiding DR.. Joseph ]. Boone of Hardin
county, who brought the test case.
have contended the physician should
be paid a fee for making the return.
Because he objected to the grant
of authority for telephone companies
to merge, Governor Harmon refused
to sign the public utilities commission
bill. He allowed it to become a law
by lapse of time.

RECIPROCITY HAS A CHANCE
Situation In Senate Shifts When Farm
ers' Free List and Wool Bills
Are Reported.

Washington.-Reciprocity will prob
ably win. Another quick shift of the
situation in the senate put the Demo
Gratis firmly back in their original at
titude Of favoring the commercial pact
with Canada free Of all amend
mentS.
The necessities which brought
about the coalition Of Democrats and
Republican Insurgents ceased to ex-
list when Senator Penrose, chairman
of the finance committee, though CIV
en- 20 days in which to consider the
farmers free list and wool bills, re-
ported them out with an unfavorable
recommendation, and they took their
place in the senate calendar.
Now with the house bills in posi-
ton where the senate may call them
up for consideration at will. there is
no longer any necessity to offer them
as amendments to reciprocity in order
to get a record vote.

PAYS Back to State 1864.

Jesse B. Roberts of Cleveland, rep
resentative in the Seventy gen
eral assmebly, has returned to State
Treasurer Creamer $26496 mileage
and $400 salary which he drew three
years ago. BY the same mail Cream
er received a warrant from Granville
w. Mooney, former speaker of the
house, collecting $672 mileage, which
he had not cared to draw when he
was a candidate for secretary of state
last fall. When Roberts was repre-
sentative the Legislature voted to raise
of salary for the members from 5000
to $1,000 a year. II return this mile
age and extra salary because I can
not conscientiously accept either"
said Roberts. 81 am opposed to any
12-cent mileage grab or salary in
crease" Mooney did not draw his
12-cent mileage before he was can
didate against Charles H. Graves.
There was a statewide criticism of
the mileage grab Now he is custo-
dian of the senate book department.
He secured the warrant for his mile
age Immediately after Graves defeat
ed him.

LAUDS ALDRICH PLAN
TAFT INDoRsEs THE NATIONAL
RESERVE ASSOCIATION PLAN.
Asserts Reform In Currency System
Would Benefit Wage Garner
and Farmer.

New York.-President Taft, address
ing the members Of the New York
State Bankers association, at a ban
Quet given by them in his honor at
Manhattan Beach, made an extended
argument for a central bank and gave
his Endorsement to the National Re
serve association plan proposed by
ex-senator Aldrich, chairman OF the
monetary commission.
He pointed out that 1t was the
unanimous opinion Of authorities that
the existing banking and currency
system of the United States was abb
solutely inadequate to the needs Of a
great and growing commercial nation
and that drastic reforms were neces-
sary.
One of the great difficulties Of the
present system, he said, was making
the money in circulation correspond
to the actual and conservative needs
of trade. These difficulties and
others, the president said, would be
Hinimized and done away with were
CSuJI dl Dbhh CblhOAlohONs AA NAA
well~regulated banking and currency
systems of the old world, he said, the
power to control cash reserves and
the issue of notes to be used as cur
rency is to be placed under the con-
troll of central bank, recognized by
the government.
THE wage Garner" said the presi-
dent, "is quite as much interested in
the proper operation of sound cur
rency and banking system as are the
bankers themselves, and that any
plan which will lead to the adjust
ment of the cash reserves to avoid
the stringencies and exigencies Of
threatened panic will inure chiefly to
the benefit of those interested in the
continuation Of our industries, manu-
featuring, etc, and especially in the
maintenance, use and distribution of
large wage funds upon which the
workingmen and their families are
dependent.
Similarly, the farmers have a
most intimate interest in the plan
which shall secure for the middleman
at reasonable rate Of interest, funds
with which to move the crops and
with which to pay adequate prices
for that which the farmer has to sell.
The demand for money which arises
every season for crop moving causes
frequent embarrassment and a rails
ing of the rates of interest which such
plan as this would avoid.
"In no other way can the expense
of the disposition Of the farmers
crops, which in times past has been
so heavy, be so materially reduced.

HIRAM CARPENTERS WONDER.
Full CURE OF PSORIASIS.

II have been afflicted for twenty
years with an obstinate skin disease,
called by some M. DIS. psoriasis, and
others leprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and.in spite of all I could do,
with the help Of the most skilful doc
tors, 1t slowly but surely extended un-
til q year ago this winter it covered
my entire person in the form Of dry
scales. For the last three years have
been unable to do any labor, and
suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there would be nearly a dust
painful Of scales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some Of them half as large
as the envelope containing this letter.

feet badly swollen; toe-nails came on;
finger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
hair dead, dry and lifeless as old

Bulk SaIea Law Killed.

Columbus.-The law of 1908, max.
ing sales in bulk of stocks of mer-
chandise presumptively fraudulent,
unless the seller file with the county
recorder seven days notice of the
sale, was knocked out by the supreme
court.
The court held this law to conflict
with the bill Of rights provision, that
laws regulating rights in property
shall operate generally, this law be-
ing an exception in presuming fraud
instead of presuming innocence, thus
shifting the burden Of proof to the
accused.
The decision was rendered in the
case of Williams & Thompson Co. vs.
Mike Presto, affirming the Mahoning
county courts. The decision will be
a blow to credit men, employed by
many companies. The measure was
enacted to prevent dishonest mer.
chants cheating their creditors.
