The number of males of voting age
In Adams county, Ohio, according to
the census of 1900. was 1910; and, as
the population Of the county showed
very little increase between 1890 and
1900, this figure may be taken as prac.
tically representing the adult male
population at the present time. OF
these 1910 adult males, about LOO
have been indicted, and It is estimat.
ed by Judge Blair and the special
prosecutor that the number indicted
is only one-third the whole number
guilty. The grand fury keeps on
grinding out the indictments, and
hundreds of persons are flocking to
the court house to confess. 1t seems
within bounds, therefore, to conclude
that very nearly one-half of the 1910
men, young and old, who make up the
voting citizenship of Adams county
have been making a practice of re.
ceiying money for their votes. But
before We look upon this as stain
on the American name, had we not
better trace the matter little more

GARDNER-RoBlNSoN.


The selection of Hon. Henry Gard
ner to succeed himself as president OF
the Utah State senate is in keeping
with American custom-that whenever
a public official has served his con.
stituency well he is entitled to an
other term. 1t is likewise a testimonial
Of appreciation TO the individual, and
in Mr.. Gardeners case it is a credit
to the state. Henry Gardner is an ear.
nest, hard working, hard beaded, ty.
pical westerner, who believes in hew-
ing close to the line, and giving ev.
erybody their just dues. He has been
hard worker all his life, knows the
value of dollar, and has ideas of
his own when it comes to the expen-
siture of the states money. He is a
careful conservative legislator, a good
presiding officer, and withal faith
full honest public servant. He is a Re-
publican to the core, and is never
swung off his feet by the sophistry
OF the opposition. A trust imposed in
his party's hands, with him carries
with it responsibility, which he is al.
ways ready to assume, and carry to
conclusions to the best of his ability,
and judgment, and then abide the re-
suits and consequences. He was the
logical man to preside over the SEN
ate, and the Republican congratulates
him on his reelection, and congratu-
lates his colleagues on their good
judgment. He will be equal TO the emer
gencies as they present themselves,
and will reflect additional honor and
credit on himself and his state. Sue
cess, President Gardner
That Hon. Il. w. Robinson would be
reelected Speaker has been fore
gone conclusion for some time. In
fact it was predicted with such car
tainty by this paper during the cam
paign that we have not even had the
slightest thought tina tit would re-
suIt ntharwiSa Mr. pnhinonp'o mas
terly way of handling the last house
has brought him much praise and
commentator and just as soon as
the ballots were counted and he was
reelected he was all but formally
elected speaker. 1t is useless to add
words in favor OF Mr. Robinson's ca
pacity for the place, especially where
he is so well known, and any congrat.
ulations showered upon him are lost
sight of in the great shower of con-
CALCULATIONS the entire county must
be taking to itself from the fact that
that one of her citizens is so signally
honored for the second time. And
while it means much for Robinson yet
again the individual is practically lost
sight OF in the consideration of what
II means for our city and county, He
with his well known abilities to pre-
side and dispatch business will have
our interests, and the states interests
well in hand. He has the appointment
OF all committees and will see that his
colleagues &. l.. Funk and ID. M. Bick-
more are well placed to care for our
needs and just dues, at the same time
he will give all a square deal Sue

der the legal rule, the old law would have
to give way to the new.
This is an immensely important matter,
and it is to be deplored that the Legislature,
working with the express purpose of breaking
up the evil of lobbying, gave it the sanction Of
the State and elevated it into respectful
profession.
Was this another one of the bills that Gov.
Smith was in too much of hurry to read?

die age In fact, he had passed the meridian,
for he was born in 1926; and did not succeed
in ousting the Republican (Smalls) until the
47th Congress. His last term expired in 1888;
and he died in 1902
I we'll remember the sensation which was
created by his first great speech in Congress.
The year was 1882, according to my recol-
lection.
At all events he had not been heard in any
serious effort prior to that speech; and the
House which had classified him as dull,
heavy, illiterate old farmer, was ludicrously
astonished when this unexpected luminary
burst upon them.
The subject was, the Free Coinage of Silver.
His speech not only revealed a thorough mas
ter of the subject, but also depth of thought
and vigor of delivery which no stranger to
the aroused Z'izlnaan could have thought was in
him.
Ordinarily, "Uncle George"-as [ always
called him-sat in his seat, undemonstrative,
looking rather moody and sad, contenting him
self with a book and voting when his time
came. He alaoays v0ted right. I never saw
him dodge or hesitate. Tell me the nature of
the bill and [ could tell you how 'Uncle
George" would vote. We were together, on
almost everything. Indeed, I cannot recall
that We differed in any matter of principle.
He never, to my knowledge, touched any
kind of beverage; [ never saw him smoke;
l never saw his seat vacant, or knew him to
lose roll-call Everybody respected him,
and nobody was hungry for debate with
him.
But he could not be called sociable; he was
seldom IN the cloak rooms; he moved rather
apart from his fellows-or rather, he seemed
preoccupied as he moved among them.
| don't recall how we came to be so friendly;
but | reckon I went to him when first arriv-
ing in Washington and made some reference to
his career that pleased him. Anyway, we
were congenial; and we often talked of
the manner in which the Government
and the lawmakers squandered the public
money, and the outrageous character of much
of the legislation.
One day we happened to meet at the top
of the marble stairs, on the west front of the
Capitol. The White House was in full view
also the noble river.
After we had chatted few moments, Gun
Gle George" said, in voice of wrath and dis
gust: watson, if our people could come up
here and see how their government is run,
they'd pitch the whole business into the
Potomac!"
And [ heartily agreed.
George Tillman was, in my opinion, as hon
est and true man as ever lived. He loved his
country; sympathized with the under dog, and
wanted the right thing done. He stood for
the Gmtebe11atma ideals of the old South
which are to redeem the State and society If
ever they are redeemed.
Peace and honor to the memory of "Uncle
George~ Would that South Carolina and
her sister states, would send more men of that
strong high type to our national councils.

4'A last OF the ones passed by Congress,
leaves the Payne-Aldrich tariff law the same
as before.
The big interests are guaranteed SO much
more time to enjoy special privileges without
interference-the trusts are given months
more to amass millions while the people strug-
gle under the same tariff burdens, paying the
trusts and special interests heavy toll for
the privilege of living.
But the tariff fight has not ended-the peo-
pie will see to it that President is elected
who will not veto just laws such as a redrc-
ton in the tariff on wool and wooden goods,
the farmers free list, the reduction of the
steel and iron schedules, and the cotton tariff
schedules.
When the people saw that new set of Con-
gressmen were needed to get tariff revision
they elected new Congress, and when thew
see that Mr.. Taft has killed all the relief that
the new Congress offered, they will elect
man President who will not veto that which
they want because it is just and right.
When the President begins his next speak
ing tour he will begin to see that he has made
another mistake-that he has allowed the
Aldrlch wing Of his party to make him veto
measures that the people want as law.
The excuse that the Tariff Board had not
made it's report and that the tariff bills vetoed
were not based on scientific figures won't take
with the people.
The Aldrich bill was drawn by lot of
sclent1sts-experts-s expert in fact that even
Mr.. Taft has had to founder around to ex-
plain some of the experts work, and the peo-
pie want no more tariff bills prepared by ex-
perts.
Then the Tariff Board is board of Mr..
Taft's own appointment representatives
of the people, but lame ducks who have been
kicked out of office by the people, so why
should the people wait for months for relief
just because few New England manufacture
ers want tariff law based on this commits
sion's report?
There are men in the present Congress who
helped draft the very bills that Mr. Taft We
toed who know just as much about the tariff
question as do the members of Mr.. Tafts
Board. It was their pledge to the people
during the last campaign that they would give
them tariff reduction, and they carried out
their part of the contract only to have it
killed by the President.
Mr.. Taft will find it hard to explain to
the people why we should wait until next
year to get relief from that which he has
publicly declared indefensible
The Beef Trust has advanced the price of
meat, and will likely continue to advance it
until there IS more chance Of tariff reduction
on meat and meat products
Congress had hardly adjourned before the
advance of 4 1-2 cents per pound to the whole
sale dealers was announced, and of course the
increase will have to extend on down to the
consumer.
Besides the advance in price, the trust is
storing enormous quantities in it's different
cold storage plants, and putting in system
