Showing Where the
Tariff Graft Goes

The Cincinnati Milling Machine Tool
Company, which is owned by the Geier
Bros, started about 1901 with an employ
ees list of twenty people. During all this
time it has enjoyed the graft from a 80
per cent protective tariff. Almost from
its beginning this concern has taken the
lead in antagonizing labor organizations,
so that now employees have absolutely no
voice in the matter of wages, hours OF em-
ployment, shop equipment or sanitation.
In 1901 when the company started the
Machinist's Union of Cincinnati was the
strongest local in the country, both in
numbers and resources. 1t is nothing
but memory now. Wages in II years
have been reduced from an average of %
cents per hour to % cents. The company
has grown in capitalization to over one
million dollars, employs hundreds ofmen
and it hires machinists for less money
than is paid common labor. This COM
pany is appealing for harmonious action
between laboring men and employees so
that the Taft Prosperity may be contin-
ned. How much of this prosperity will
come to anyone except the owners?-Cin-

.B.G.8C. FRANCHISE
COMES UP AGAIN

Council held short session last Tues
day night, with all members and officers
present, excepting Councilmen Meyer
and Wintermute.
Attorney J. w. Loree of this city, on
behalf of the promoters of the Bluffton,
Geneva and Celina traction line, pre-
sented resolution to Council asking for
another renewal of their franchise over
West Market street and Mud pike in this
city. Mr.. Simmons, of Bluffton A. G..
Briggs, of Geneva, and others interested
in the line were present and talked to
council of their plans. The resolution,
granting the extension, was placed upon
its first reading by the Council, but ow-
ing to a lack of a two-thirds vote pres
ent, the matter was laid over until the
next regular meeting. Councilman
Meyer, who was not present at the meet
ing, opposes the passage of the resolu-
tion. On general principles his stand
is we'll taken. Why should such a val
liable privilege be given when there is
no immediate prospect of the people
seeking the franchise constructing the
road? 1t has already been renewed two
or three times Those who are seeking
its renewal evidently believe it valua-
bic asset. With renewal of the fran
chise they again have something to bar
ter. Not this alone, they would be i'll
position to hold up any other company
that might organize and seek the same
entrance to the town. Council can we'll
afford, without jeopardizing any interest
of the town, to hold the matter in abey-
ance. Then, we are not quite sure the
franchise which the promoters of the B.,
G. & {. desire renewed can not be made
more satisfactory to the people whom
council represents. Privileges are only
sought when they are believed to beWal-
liable. Co slow.
Fire Chief Weisman asked for some in
formation in regard to fire protection
outside the corporation, following COM
plants over the burning of the Shella-
barger home in Forest Heights last Sat
urday night.
He was informed that neither he nor
council had any jurisdiction outside the
corporation limits, and if the residents of
Forest Heights or any other addition
wanted fire protection they would have
to bring the property into the corpora
tion and help foot the bills.

Forest Heights Has Its
First Blaze

The two-story frame house belonging
to F. NJ. Shellebarger, in Forest Heights,
was completely destroyed by fire about 7
O'Clock last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Shellebarger and his family were
down town when the fire was discovered,
and reached home only in time to see the
walls crumble in a mass of ruins. The
flames, which are believed to have start
ed from a defective fue, had gained con-
siderable headway when discovered. The
fire department responded to an alarm
sent in from the neighborhood, but were
unable to reach the burning structure, it
being outside the corporation. Fireman
Diener, and Electrician Caldwell, who
was also on the wagon, went to the house
and assisted in moving out the household
goods, most of which were saved. The
loss is covered by insurance.

Think They Have Settled
Much MOOted Question

A Columbus dispatch 10 the Enquirer
under date of October %, says Claims
of farmers living along the west side OF
the Grand Reservoir, in Mercer County,
will be settled without cost to the State,
il was stated to-day by Chief Engineer
Miller of the Board Of Public Works.
The board has tentatively agreed with
the farmers that a permnant patrolman
is 10 be stationed at the reservoir TO pre-
vent the water oyerflowing its banks
Damage has been done in the past, he
said, because surplus water was not let
out. The wasteways are to be repaired
as part of the agreement.
f.. Miller found that although five seper-
ate surveys had been made TO show the
line of the states property It is still IN
dispute. Remainder of the claims prob
ably will be referred to the General AS

Young Lad Hit by Ball
and Killed

Floyd, the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Lacy, residing Just west of
Montezuma, died last Friday afternoon
from injuries sustained few hours pre-
vious, when ball, batted by playmate
on the school ground at Montezuma
struck the lad back of the right ear.
The ball, foul from the bat of play
mate, struck young Lacy while he was
watching the game during the noon re-
cess last Friday. He at first didn't seem
to suffer from the blow, and went into
the school-room with the rest of the
children. A few moments later he fell
unconscious in his seat. He was carried
to his home, but died before medical aid
could be secured. His father, mother
and two sisters survive. Funeral servi-
ces were held at Swamp College Sunday
afternoon.

CAMPAIGN MUD
Anglers VETERANS

ignoring the fact that the Democrat
ic house passed the most liberal PEN
sion bill in the history of the United
States and that It was the Republican
senate that reduced the appropriation
the editor Of the National Tribune Of
Washington has appealed to grand
army posts all over the country to sup
ply campaign material for use against
the Democratic party.
Colonel (sergeanb John McElroy, the
editor, has not met always with the
cooperation he desired. This is evil
denced by the fact that indignant
grand army men have forwarded his
circular letters to Democratic national
headquarters in New York with their
protests against the playing Of such
politics within the old soldiers organ
ization.
Quest For "Mean" Things.
Editor McElroy's appeal was sent
out, mimeographed. on the letterhead
of the National Tribune, with his own
name ut the top. The letter read:
Sept. 10, 1912
Comrade-We are anxious to get the ex-
preston Of editorials on pensions from
the papers supporting Wilson in your
neighborhood. VIII you kindly look over
the files of your local papers and send us
anything particularly harsh and mean
which they have published. We want to
show concluslvely the attitude OF the men
who are supporting Wilson and who will
control his administration II elected.
Please send these at your earliest con-
venience, as the time is short. Fraternal-
ly, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
One of the replies sent to the Trib.
une was:

Gentlemen - Your communication ad-
dressed to me as adjutant Of Cushing
Post No. IA, of the 18th inst. found to-
day on my return from the national en-
campment AT Los Angeles. Cal. Thus the
delay in answering.
You wish me TO look over the files OF our
local papers and send you anything par
ticularly harsh and mean" which they
have published regarding pensions. As
you have specified that these "harsh"
and mean comments must be from pa
pers supporting Wilson l must inform
you that the papers supporting Wilson
throughout the state, SO far as l have
been able to learn, are friendly toward
the interests OF the civil war veterans
and indorse the action Of the Democratic
house of the United States congress in its
passage OF the pension bill in the special
and last session Of congress and have no
fault to find with Senator Kern for his
eloquent appeal In the senate in behalf OF
the civil war veterans.
II you are really looking for mean"
and harsh" editorials along this line. II
your object in this search is for the in
terests OF the old soldiers, you will find
enough "mean" and harsh" things in
the papers that are supporting Mr.. Taft.
And II you wish to prospect away out
here in Oregon politically for other than
pure gold please excuse the adjutant OF

"Father of Monument"
Should BE Proud

The heoric sized figure of a pioneer,
has been erected on the top of the base
at the west side of the Ft. Recovery
soldiers monument, and it is majestic in
appearance and suggestive of the strug-
gle of the early settlers against the do
minating influence of the British govern
ment and the depredations of their saw
age allies in the north west territory.
The casing having been removed from
the monument it stands out in all its
magnifcence, and it is much finer in
appearance than was expected Hon.
w. E. TouVelle, the father of the
monument, should be proud with us
for this graceful and imposing shaft that
a tardy government finally constructed
in grateful remembrance of the heroes of
1791-1794.-Ft. Recovery Tribune.
