The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-02-09

In a wonderful editorial outburst in
its issue of Wednesday the Standard
announces its allegiance to Governor
Harmon as a presidential candidate "be-
cause he is an Ohio man" and the astute
editor lives in the this great common
wealth, and not because of anything he
has done or left undone-like straddling
the boose question, at which the dear
old Standard played both ends against
the middle at so much per on a memora-
bic occasion some three years since.
Such argument is not likely to advance
Governor Harmon's chances very per-
ceptibly beyond the borders of the State,
and his friends may even regard it as
stab in the back, so cleverly does the
Standard approve of him.

The Constitution Of Washington pro
vidct that
''The property of the United
States and of the State, counties,
school districts, and other munich
pal corporations, and S U c II
OTHER property as the legislature
may by general laws provide, shall
be exempt from taxation. "
One need not be a lawyer to under.
stand plain English. The clause quoted
clearly allowed the legislature to exempt
from taxation any property it saw fit.
This was not questioned when the legis-
lature passed a law exempting $500 of
personal property owned by any one
person. But in 1897 this exemption was
increased to $500 and extended to i'm
provements on land.
Monopolistic interests saw in this the
entering wedge of the single tax. They
set up howl and appealed 10 the Su-
preme Court, of which Judge Gordon
was then member, and were accommo-
dated with a decision in accordance with
their wishes.
1t may sound like a burlesque, but the
court actually decided that the words
such other" in the constitution must
be read backward. They said that
OTHER SUCH" was the proper way
to read them, and this limited the power
Of the legislature to exempt public prop
erty. 1t must have been hard for the |
Judges to keep their faces straight while
this decision. With such |
Judges around, trainers of a constitution
must be careful to not only make their
meaning clear, but to so express them
elves that what they say will have the
anne meaning when read backwards as
orwards.

The Deadly Parallel

Mr.. Taft asks why judges elected by
the people should be bad or need recall
ing. He no doubt intends to convey
the impression that the people should
have known them in the first place. Let
us see. President Taft was elected on
the assurance given by no less a person
than his distinguished predecessor that
he would be second Roosevelt.A 1t is
no particular compliment to the taste of
the majority that he was elected OH such
assurance. But he has turned out to be
something entirely different to the dis
gust of many people, including presum-

and he began to strengthen his in.
trenchments as soon as his scouts
brought to headquarters word of the
approach Of enemies.
Tilghman seems to have been the
first one to think seriously of a Fed
eral attack upon the famous Fort Don
elsOn, situated on Cumberland river
twelve miles' east of Fort Henry. He
wrote to his superior officer, General
Polk, who was at Columbus, Ky, that
Smith might be preparing to attack
Fort Henry or Fort Donelson or both.
| He added that Smith would find a good
road leading from the Tennessee river
to Fort DonelsOn.

There were only enough steamers at

about 5000 men, and this detachment,
conveyed by the new ronclads Caron-
delet, Cincinnati st. Louis and Essex
and the wooden gunboats Tyler, Lex
1ngton and Conestoga, steamed up the
river. General J. A. McClernand com
manded the leading column Of soldiers
and halted the transports within nine
miles Of Fort Henry. The gunboats
went within six miles. Grant reached
the front on the 4th, and the navy
reconnOitered the vicinity of the fort
to see if soldiers could safely be put
ashore at some point near the scene
of attack Grant boarded the Essex,
and she steamed up within range, re-
ceiving a shot which showed that
there were good gunners in the fort.

velt, who came in daily contact with
Mr.. Taft for number of years, could be
deceived, what wonder is it that voters
who had no personal acquaintance were
also fooled' Is it possible that President
Taft does not see how the same can hap
pen in the case Of a judicial candidate?
That is why the recall is needed as a
safeguard even when the people do elect
a Judge in the first place.

Judicial Rottenness

Everybody's Magazine announces that
it IS about to perform long-needed
public service, a complete expose of the
control of courts by Big Business There
will be little left of the opposition to the
recall when this work has once been
done. The first article of the series ap-
pears in the February number and shows
up some judicial doings in the State Of
Washington.
In his Introductory remarks c. P. Con-
molly, the author, approyingly quotes
what Tom /. Johnson said:
The interests have retrcated into
the courts. Beaten in legislatures,
councils and executive Offices, they
are going to make their last stand
behind the judiciary" To this he
adds a comment of his own: While
we have been giving to judges rev
erence that we once gave to kings,
the forces that corrupt every other
branch of public life have been no
more reverent to judges than to al
dermen. While we worshiped, they
corrupted.
Among the rotten Judges exposed by
Mr.. Connolly is NJ. J. Gordon, formerly
Chief Justice of Washington Supreme
Court He shows how this Judge was
but a servant of the Great Northern rail
way. There was one service that he
rendered, not only to the Great North
ern, but all other monopolies of the
State as we'll, concerning which Mr..
Connolly has said nothing. He was one
of the band of judges who in 1897 dis
torted the plain meaning of a constitu-
tional provision in order to knock out an
act obnoxious to the interests.

which lay a fleet Of wooden gunboats.
A line of forts and batteries stretched
from the anchorage of the ships down
the shore four miles, resting on the
left in a dense and impassable swamp,
where a three gun battery had been
constructed to command the only
causeway across the swamp. A gun
fired from one of the Confederate gun
boats announced the approach Of the
Federal squadron. AT half past II
on the 7th the conflict commenced be-
tween the gunboats at long range. The
Confederate boats gradually retired
drawing their opponents within range
of the forts, when fire was opened by
the latter.
Land Troops Move to Attack.
The contest between the boats and
the forts continued with varied en-
ergy during the next three hours, in
which time the barracks within the
forts were consumed At o'clock the
troops began to land, under the pro-
lection of the fire of the three gun
boats. At this time the Confederate
gunboats drew near and recommended
the action, which was continued until
their ammunition was exhausted
They then retired up the inlet or
sound. The forts then continued to

Confederate defense was admitted on
every side. On the Federal side five
had been killed and ten wounded. In
the forts the Confederates reported one
killed and three wounded and in the |
gunboats five wounded and the largest |
gunboat sunk and another disabled. |

feet backed off out Of range.
The Confederates, jubilant over the
easy repulse of the gunboats, sent a
telegram to Richmond announcing a
great victory. 1t was soon followed
