FOUR FACTS
TnafShOuId Convince Ev-
en- the Most Skep-
fiCdl.

W. r. Black and his bench.
men who have been paraiing
tsai lawsuit against Judge Samp.
SUI hpf,r. The public fur some
iia- past, know that there is
n1lFins ia heir co''tention, and,
wbpn the seIrchIight of truth is
,urued on, it will vanish us the
mist before the rising sun.
We will set out four facts here
that are sufficient to convin' e
even the most skeptical that the
whole story is simply trumped-
up scheme for the purpose Of de-
ceiving the voter into supporting
Black.
LIST. Judge Sampson bought
several hundred acres Of the
mineral land and paid for it and
took deeds to himself for it be-
fore he ever heard of such a per-
SON as II. O. Campbell, or the II.
o. Campbell Coal Go.
2nd. When he sold the land
to r. o. Campbell, he and his
wife made deeds of general war
ranty and acknowledged them
themselves for this property that
Judge Sampson had bought prior
to this transaction.
3rd. Judge Sampson still
owns a considerable acreage of
the mineral lands he purchased
before and after he made a con-
tract with II. o. Campbell to
furnish him with ten thousand
acres, at $500 per acre.
4th. Judge. Sampson never at
any time received from r.. o.
Campbell one penny as salary
for services or expense money
while making these purchases
and securing title 10 this proper
ty.
Now, let's take q rea sonable,
common-sens view of the whole
matter. Is it plausible to be-
lieve that if Judge Sampson was
buying land for the K. .. Camp
bell Coal Co., he would take the
deeds to himself? And, il he
did, would he not have turned
over his entire purchase TO II. o.
Campbell at the time he decided
the ten thousand acres, if he had
been employed as the legal agent
and attorney of the r. o. Camp
bell Coal Co ? Again, would he
not have been entitled to a sala-
ry and expense money for his
time and labor, if he was the
hired attorney and agent of the
h. o. Campbell Coal Co.? Now,
il II. o. Campbell fails to pro-
duce receipts and checks show
ing that he has paid Judge
Sampson a salary for the time
he now alleges that Sampson was
acting as his attorney and agent,
and also show that Sampson did
not take the title to the proper.
ty purchased in his own name,
and that Sampson does not NOW
own any of the mineral land that
he purchased in the years 1905
and 1906, then this whole scheme
is exploded aud shown to be the
rankest kind Of campaign lies
started for the deliberate pur
pose of injuring tie fair name o.
one of Knox County's honorec
citizens.
Let every voter weigh thi,
matter out for himself, and Sc,
that every charge that has beei
made in that suit is a wilful AM
malicious misstatement of facts

granddad chuckled joyously as his

impatient gesture betokening anxiety
rather than anger.
Granddad was a fine specimen of
wholesome and vigorous age. Why,
then, should he not go to Chicago
without guardian?
"Be a good little boy and take care

from the car window, accompanied by
a radiant grin.

moved out, you old infant!"
Granddad enjoyed every moment Of
his journey from western Iowa to the
great mid-western metropolis. So,
when his carload Of cattle was duly
disposed Of, and thick wad of bank
bills in his possession, he started out
to take in the sights. AS he was leav-

whom from their appearance he
judged to be farmers.

The moulding Of citizenship begins
on that day when the child enters the
school Sometimes the moulding is
marred in the hands OF the teacher.
Citizenship in this century ought to
mean something. Education means
more than book knowledge, but
higher conception than that of mental
achievements alone. 1t must be placed
on the solid foundations of religion
and morality. We can not expect TO
revolutionize the home Standards, and
even the social standards must be
kept up. The fathers and mothers Of
the pupils do not want the social
functions disturbed Their children
must grow up with these social doings.
If anything goes wrong of course the
pupil has been ouerworked at school.
Boys and girls of Ohio or any other
state cannot do successful school work
and social functions also. Not only
the futGre destiny of the American ma
ton depends on the American home,
but future American homes depends
on the American school. Some child
rem have no home training, therefore
the example and precepts of the teach
er should be beyond reproach. Evil

The Aurora eorsaIis.

According to a theory enunciated by
Professor Lenard. the aurora borealis
is formed of cathode rays. emitted by
the sun and detected by the terrestrial
magnetic field in the upper strata of
the atmosphere. The velocity Of these
cathode rays must be nearly equal to
that of light and very much greater
than the velocity of cathode rays pro
duced in the laboratory. Lenard con
cludes that these extremely hard"
cathode rays are emitted by unknown
radioactive substances In the sun.
