Ohioan Was Made Head OF Federal
Law Department by President CleVe-
land on the Recommendation of
John G. Carlisle.

Judson Harmon, now serving his
second term as governor of Ohio and
looked upon as Democratic party pres
identiaI timber for 1912, was for two
years a member of the cabinet OF
Grover Cleveland in the latter's sec
ond administration. Yet when Mr.
Cleveland nominated Mr.. Harmon as
the successor of Richard Olney OF
Massachusetts as attorney general,
Mr.. Olney having been transferred to
the state department, the president
was compelled even to ask what Mr..
Harmon's name was before making
out the nomination, SO that 1t might
be sent to the senate for confirma-
ton.
After the death of Secretary Of
State Walter Q. Gresham in 1895,
President Cleveland had no question
in his mind as to the appointment of
his successor; he decided instantly to

First to Graduate.

Miss Marjorie Patterson of Frank
lin, Mass, was the first woman to re-
ceive the A. B. degree at Jackson col
lege. This is the woman's department
of Tufts college, which was until last
year a coeducational institution. She
stands a chance of being the only
graduate for the next three years, as
this year there were only freshmen,
and she had taken the first years of
her college work at West Virginia
university.

Gall Of The Governor.

Governor Hadley is the "Bogy man"
to some of the Democratic editors of
the State. They are constantly attri-
butting awful things to him. They
cannot get over his veto of the Demo
cratic immigration bill intended to pro-
vide a comfortable living to a few
Democratic party workers. They de-
plore the payment of the miserable
allowance to Jesse Tolerton for the
protection of the game and fish of the
State, believeing that it should go into
a fund for good roads" which would
never be constructed under Demo
cratic leadership. They also complain
of the gall'' of the Governor what
ever that may be. It was certainly
CALLING to them to see Republican
elected Governor and it is natural that
they see gall'' in everything he says
and does. Without reference to what
particular meaning they attch to the
word 'gall'' when used to denote the
spirit of Governor Hadley it is plainly
evident that our brilliant chief execu-
tive is gifted with the talent necessary
to keep up with all the schemes and
Vaccinations of the Old Gang Demo
cratic politicians. And there's the rub.
That is the real cause of all the doleful
complaints sent out regularly from
Jefferson City to Democratic weeklies.
There is wide difference between the
people and the Democratic party. The
governor looks after the people and
the Democratic State officials and their
scribblers at Jefferson City look after
the Democratic party.

as the avowed oject of the Mexican
revolution was to depose an autocratic

would be natural to expect that, this

believe this story. Charges of other
sorts of duplicity were brought against
the United States by many Canadian
papers during the campaign which
ended on Sept. 81. We were accused
