mess visit for about a week.
Mrs. P. B Miller arrived home
last Wednesday from Bowling
Green, where she had been WIS.,
iting for a couple of weeks.
Samuel Moul and wife and
Miss Lizzie Moul Of Pleasant Hill
were visitors here yesterday.
Four Republican county candi-
dates, viz: w. Y. SUubbs for Pro
scouting Attorney, J. P. Lucas
for Auditor, o. J. Craig for Sur
veyor and R. L. Stamm for Re-
corder, were here last Thursday
night to look after their political
fences in this part of the county.
They made a good impression up
on the voters and found their
fences D K. Mr.. Stubs held
forth before a good sized audi
ence in our Town Hall for some
thing more than an hours talk
on the business of our county as
shown to exist from the report

dealing some sledge hammer
blows upon crookedness of some
of the late county officials, and
showing some very good reasons
why the system of graft as it
prevailed as shown by the report
ought to be broken up and kept
from doing furthe" harm by the
electing honest men to fill the
various offices, and who have to
do with handling and spending
the peoples money. But just
now we are confronted with the
claim by the grafters and their
friends that the report has been
published for partisan purposes,
that it has been distorted, pub
lished and given out for circula-
ton among the taxpayers before
received by the proper officials,
whose duty it is to have the re-
ceipt and custody of such docu-
ments. Whether this claim is
true or not it need not disturb
the equanimity of any one. The
question to be determined is
whether the facts stated are true,
and can be verified by the rec
ords from which the report was
made. If this fact appears what
matters it whether the publica-
ton was premature? If the facts
are true will a premature publ
cation change guilt to innocence,
and wrong to right2 Let us see

tive assertion of all three parties
and in that c ase all three will be
chosen as the approved by the
people, and no matter what may
be claimed two of the three will
fail, and one be elected. The
writer does not feel inclined to
yield the election to either Gov.
Wilson or to Col. Roosevelt to
the presidency. He cannot con-
vince himself that the American
voters have gone daft, and will
deliberately vote away the pros
perity everywhere blessing the
people and furnishing everybody
with ample means and opp ortun-
ity to live comfortable, and high
prices for everything they have
to sell or buy. Surely, every
person who has anything to sell
does not desire a lower price
than. the prevailing price, and
surely no one expects to sell at a
high price and buy it back for
less, and if not then how are
these troublous matters to be ad-
justed? Everybody ought to un-
derstand the matter and not for
get past experiences. The dis
astrous effect of G. Cleveland's
administration has not bee n for
gotten. The issue in this elec-
ton is the same as it was then.
Everybody wanted low prices,
that is a majority wanted it that
way. and they got it. Prices
came down, but what good did
low prices do? No man can buy
the cheapest or lowest priced ar
ticle if he has no cash, and chat
is what happened then. The
people had no money and panic
and disaster was everywhere
found. The triumph OF Gov.
Wilson will give US a repetition
OF what the people suffered then.
The tariff plank of the Wilson
platform is identical with the
Cleveland platform of that his
torical date. Are the voters
ready to pull down the fabric OF
prosperity now existing and SUBJ
stitute for it the conditions pro-
duced in that administration? l
cannot believe the American peo-
pie are ready for another edition
of those disastrous times. But
this is not the only important
matter before the voter. The
two paramount issues of this
campaign are the tariff and the
trusts or monopolies: and on this
issue Gov. Wilson is very weak.
He would, as he says, not regu-
late the monopolies, but would
regulate competition instead,
maintaining that the regulation
of competition would work a So
luton of the question. While
Gov. Wilson talks quite glibly on
that manner of solving the ques-
ton he has forborne to define the
details by which he would do it.
He very well understands if he
did this he would convict him
self of folly, or at least his goods
would be consigned to the pile of
misbranded goods and be con-
demned. Now if voters should

Crop Conditions.

With the actual results of har-
vest now definitely known OhiC's
present wheat production is one
of the poorest recorded by this
Department. The harvest fig
ures here presented are based on
the area returned by township
assessors less the estimated area
plowed up as reported by our
official correspondents. No doubt
the total production will show
some increase over the estimate
now reported.
The harvest is now estimated
at 10, Asa, 425 bushels, an average
production of but ten bushels per
acre. While this is somewhat
better than earlier reports indi-

poor quality. The State average
is estimated at 76 per cent, One
year ago quality was reported at
"a per cent, with a total estimat-
ed produc ton of 81, ,O92, 1872 bush
els. Of the crop of 1911, it is
estimated that 10 per cent still
remains in producers hands.
Correspondents report that in
some sections of State rains have
retarded seeding. Many note
the fact that the 1913 area will
not be as great as the one just
harvested.
Oats show a bumper produc-
ton, The harvest being esti-
mated at 83,171,314 bushels.
This is an increase of approxi-
mately 81, 100000 bushels over
the estimated crop of 1911, The
average production per acre is
reported at "A bushels, as against
81 bushels one year ago. The
quality of the grain is excellent.
Rye and barley productions
also show healthy increases over
last year.
Corn prospects are most flat
tering. The present prospect is
estimated at 96 per cent based
upon IS bushels per acre repre-
senting 100 per cent. On the
corresponding date one year ago
the prospect was estimated at 81
per cent. AS the area planted is
much greater than in 1911 the
harvest should be most bountiful.
The crop is late in maturing, due
to cool wet weather in July and
late planting.
Reports indicate that the yield

than that of last year. Corre-
spondents estimate the present

The crop of apples will fall far
short of the excellent harvest OF

that crop the present estimate is
63 per cent.

THE CHURCH AND The NATION
Summary of a sermon by Rev.
3. II. Roberts, Union Church. Sun.
day, Nov. 18th.

The church from the first has re-
garded the welfare Of the people. This
was true under Moses and also in the
primitive church.
The spiritual needs of the COM
munity is the first consideration Of
the church in this and all ages.
Today three matters of social well
fare demand especial consideration.
The Liquor Question
The business employs only 1-1O0 OF
the workers, uses only 1-3 of the
grain crop, has only l-2O of the cap
ital of the country, yet is allowed
to curse the land, tho it pays only
S45, 252 900 in wages while the total
wages paid is So .427 .O3S,OOO.
The drink bill amounted TO 81. $780,
900 700. This amount spent in food
and clothes would employ eight times
as many at LIZ times the wages.

THE BALKAN SITUATION.

More than a year before his death,
now over two years ago. William E.
Curtis, the we'll known newspaper
correspondent, made a trip through
the Balkan states and predicted the
very condition of affairs that exists
there today. He said the states would
make war on Turkey as soon as they
felt able TO cope with the Sultan.
Europe appears to be always having
its little war scares, but this Balkan
situation is one of particular signifi-
canoe. II means that within the next
fifty years important changes. will be
made in the map of Europe. The
seat of controversy lies in a region
where there is perpetual conflict be-
tween varied racial and religious pre-
JUDGES. The people are Warlike, and
have suffered for generations from
Turkish misrule. With changes in
social and political ideals and with
progress in science, education and
economic conditions, general unrest
has increased. as in other parts of
the world; and some sort of readjust-
ment giving the numerous small
states more permanent and better
government is inevitable. Until such
results are attained, rest in this part
of Europe is impossible. Change is
inevitable. 1t may come through war.
1t may be that diplomacy will accom-
plish by peaceful methods what can
only be attained at tremendous loss
and suffering through conflict At
the moment conditions are fortunate
ly unfavorable to prolonged HOSTILE
ties, because the winter Is close at
hand, and it is questionable if these
minor principalities will be able to
raise the big sums of money neces-
sary to carry on war against Turkey.
Nevertheless, the question is one that
will cause Europe considerable IN
easiness, unless, as is hoped, set
tlement can be reached through the
influence of the Great Powers upon
Turkey. The practical close of the
war between Italy and Turkey will
place the latter in a stronger posi-
ton, and may thus check the ag-
gressiveness of Turkish enemies in
the Balkans. u--... ...
