OF Conduct Both Puzzled and
Annoyed Him.

Jimson was little. sharp-eyed shoe
maker with stopped shoulders and a
chin whisker. He lived in Mis-
souri river town, and whenever he
drank too much he used to wind up
by going home and thrashing his
wife. She never failed to go over to
neighbor's after a session with the
old man and complain bitterly Of his
treatment.
After a while the neighbors grew
weary of the oft-repeated tale and re-
marked: Well, you seem to like 1t.
You always take It willingly. Why
don't you pick up something and hit
him with 1t the next time he whips
ycu?"
The wife considered the matter, and
the next time her lord began to beat
her she grasped a chair and smashed
1t over his head. The old man fell
back In stark amazement, dropped
his hands, and stared at her.

whimpered. What on earth Is the

Democratic tariff legislation will up

In the Democratic tariff bills passed
by the house and vetoed by the presi-

list. This means that all the grain
producing countries in the world, and
especially our neighbor upon the
northern border, would send In wheat
and corn and deprive the American
farmer of his market.
In 1892, when there was prosperity
under Republican administration, a
majority OF the people voted in favor
of change and elected Grover Cleve-
land president. What happened then
will happen again. There will come
anxiety and distress. with many
thousands of factories closed. mil
lions of workingmen out of employ
ment and the farmer suffering under

The way to avoid this result Is to

Prosperity Reported at High Water

Prosperity Is at high water mark

An army of 5000 statesmen radiat-

that already there is enough business
in sight to test the capacity OF all
the manufactures.

No Provision for occupationaI Dis
eases-Amendment No. s Protects
Employers Only When With
In the Law.

Columbus, O.-Opinions on ques-
tions arising in Connection with the
Green Workmen's Compensation act
and the adoption of Constitutional
Amendment No. 5, removing the limit
Of damages for wrongful deaths, were
given to the State Liability Board of
Awards today by Attorney General T.
S. Hogan In one of these he holds
that VIM. Peters, of Newport, Ky
who is employed by an Ohio firm that
has subscribed to the state insurance
fund, is not entitled to compensation
for an "occupational disease"
This conclusion Is arrived at by
construction of the law. In its very
title and at places through the act the
law speaks of compensation to EN-.
ployes who have been injured and to
the dependents of those who have
been killed" Further than this, rs
showing that the general assembly
did not intend to include occupational
disease, the attorney-general cites the
action of the last general assembly in
passing resolution for the study oil

gests it as a subject for further rem
edial legislation, since provision has
already been made by the constitu
tional amendments.
Regarding Amendment No. s, Mr.
Hogan holds that after January 1
1913, employers who do not avail
themselves of the Compensation act
will be liable for damages without
lifnit for wrongful death, but in the
case of an employer who does take
advantage of the act he will be pro
tected from suit for damage, except
such death be caused by wilful act
in violation Of law.
Mr.. Hogan points out that in case
of violation of the law it becomes op
tional with the injured employe or de
pendents of one killed to exercise
option OF suit or settlement with the
| state board.
In another opinion he holds tina
| companies which go out of busines!
before the period of their insurance
expires are not entitled to refundel
under the present law. He suggests
that as subject for further legisla
ton.

Lowry's Name Clear.

Confession by DR.. George B.
Nye, of Waverly, to legislative brib-
cry has proved the salvation of DR..
A. Clark Lowry of Ironton, another
legislator who has been In the meshes
of the law for the last year and half
with two bribery indictments hanging
over his head. Acting on the Pike
county solon's confession, Prosecutor
Turner and Attorney General Hogan
had the court nolle an indictment
against DR.. Lowry which charged him
with soliciting bribe from Burns de-
tectives.
Another indictment, charging Repre-
sentative Lowry with soliciting bribe
from Opha Moore. secretary of the
Ohio Manufacturers Association, now
Is under investigation by states at
torneys and 1t is probable this, too,
may be nolled. If this is done, the
Lawrence county legislator will be
given a clean bill.
The state decided to nolle the indict-
ment against DR.. Lowry after thor
ough investigation of the Nye confes-
sion was made and compared with
statements of Burns detectives, DR..
Lowry and S. ]. Vining, speaker.
These statements, they think. show
DR.. Lowry had been the dupe of DR..
Nye and solicited the bribe from the
detectives without guilty intent.
Dr. Lowry admitted that he solicited
the bribe, but declared it was done
with the understanding that the solici.
tation was merely a ruse to catch
bribe-taking lobbyists. This statement
was made by both Mr.. Vining and Dr.
Lowry at the time of the expose and
DR.. Nye's confession bears them out.

Because you are healthy today are

And because country is prosper

No.
Tho reason for this uncertainty is
the danger of the election of Demo-

and Democratic congress.
Many people are saying in this cam
paign that this country is too big and
too prosperous to be affected by a
change of administration. Nothing
could be further from the truth. A
Democratic victory can easily result
In destruction of the present pros
perity.
This fact can be easily demonstrat-

to conduct their business During al
these months the factories would live
from hand to mouth, purchasing nc
