"You men have everything your own

Knox plaintively, looking up from her
cantaloupe to the advertisements on
the lack OF her husbands newpaper.
Mr.. Knox did not reply. He had long

against world-made laws and mans

other subjects of great magnitude, SO
he went right on reading.
1T is no wonder so many women

Elyria, O.--tCSpecial.) THAT A. L.
Garford, the Progressive candidate
for governor, would make the fight
for the principle that he did in the
Chicago and Ohio Republican eonven-
tions, which has won for him the
terms of militant" "a two-fisted
fighting man" and "a man who places
the welfare of humanity above the
dollar" would not allow the lure OF
public office to swerve him from the
thing that he believed TO be right,
was confidently expected by Elyrians.
for they have known him as pro
gressive" for the last two decades.
Garford's fight for municipal
waterworks system in Elyria, which
covered seven years. in the late nine
ties and which won for the city a
plant that has been one of the most
pronounced successes among munich
rally owned public utilities. stamped
him as progressive many years ago.
Incidentally it was his first fight to
eliminate big business from politics
Fifteen years ago the Elyria water
works system was privately owned.
Cost of water to the consumer was
high and the quality low. Garford,
believing that the city could success
fully own and operate its own plant,
called a public meeting to consider
the project. From this pubic meeting
grew a seven-year fight against the
corporation, which was hampered by
politicians in the employ of the COM
pany, injunction suits and all Of the
devices known to crooked business"
To further the campaign Garford
bought newspaper, personally hired
competent. attorneys to fight the in
junction suits and finally had the
qualification of seeing his idea sue
ceed. Today Elyria is supplied with
pure filtered lake water, at half the
cost the consumers were paying, and
the waterworks system is paying
venture, as is shown by the fact that
its bonds are in demand at an inter
est rate of per cent.
Garfords victory in the waterworks
fight marked the beginning Of the end
Of one of the strongest boss-controlled
political machines in any county in
Ohio, and stamped him as vigorous
fighter for principle.

Churchill Hansbrough was born Oct.
13, 1Sl7 and departed this life on Oct.
5, 1912. aged 64 years IL months and %
days.
He was the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Hansbrough, who came from
Virginia to near Hillsboro, Highland
county, Ohio, and settled on his large
farm of nearly seven hundred acres
which he still owned at the time of
his death.
Churchill was born and always lived
on his fathers farm and was one of
seven children. His father, mother.
sister and a brother preceded him to
the great beyond. After the death Of
the father he continued to make hig
home with his sister, Mary Hans
brough, who lives on portion of the
old home place, he, overseeing the
farm and being the chief help and
counselor.
By this sister, Church, as he was
more familiarly known by his family
and neighbors, will be greatly missed,
for he was close observer of all work
that was going on about him. He
loved his home and when evening
would come it found him always there,
where he was won't to draw his chair
to the hearth stone and miDgle with
the members of the family, which he
leaves to mourn his death.
He was man who had a high regard
for honesty and uprightness of charac-
ter. He was dominated by the spirit
of walking humbly and mercifully,
serving Him whom he recognized as
his Lord and Master.
He has fought the battle Of life,
given up bravely to death and answer
ed the call of the Father. In the
words of the poet, may we, as our
brother,
So live that when thy summons come to join
The innumerable,caravan that moves,
To the pale realm of shade, where each shall
takeI ~ -
His chamber In the silent hall of death, -
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and
soothed,
BY an unfaltering trust approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams.

REPUBLICANS DODGE
EIGHT HOUR ISSUE
49,
Kept Bosses Would Not Let
Them Do Otherwise.

The Republican platform doesn't
mention the eight-hour working day.
This is because the kept bosses of the
plutocracy, who stole the Republican
convention of 1912, serve masters who
hate the eight-hour day.
Penrose, first of the kept bosses,
represents steel, oil and the Pennsyl-
senate. This triumvirate is the invis.
ible government of the state of Penn
sylyania. In the Pittsburg district the
mills of the steel trust run day and
night. They can't stop, or their molt-
en- metal would cool.
The laborers, to keep the mills go
ing, work seven days week, with
only two shifts to each "a hours. Such
desperate labor is profitable-for the
masters. Especially since they pay
en- the average only $1.65 a day fol
1t. So of course Penrose would lei
nothing go into the Republican plat
form finding fault with the arrange
ment
But such desperate work dehuman
ICES the workers. They labor like
beasts, they play like beasts, they
fight like beasts, they love like beasts
and they die like beasts after lives
that weren't worth living.

"Oh, yes. he came up to my sitting
