THE REFERENDUM STANDS
FRAUD TEST
[cleveland Press. !

Reactionaries wept when the Initiative
and Referendum came into being in Ohio
because, they said, the whole fabric OF
government would be overthrown.
They're weeping now because, they say,
the Initiative and Referendum must be
abandoned because of the colossal fraud
discovered in the reactionary petitions
for referendum on the workmen' 5
compensation law. The uncovering of
that very fraud is the biggest indorse-
ment the Initiative and Referendum
have received to date. When the legis-
lature and not the people ruled supreme
fraud existed and all men knew it, but
it very rarely was found out. Today,
the forgery by which the petitions were
filled up has been exposed, and all with
in a month after commission ofthe fraud.
The Initiative and Referendum throw
open in the daylight the whole process
of lawmaking, and there are no crannies
in which evil can hide. Folk gathering
names for an Initiative petition will be
careful in the future to scrutinize the
names they submit to the Secretary of
State.

FORMER CELINA
MAN IS TIPPED
For Membership ON State Licens-
Ing BOard-ActiOn Would he
Pleasing TO Old Mercer.

A Columbus special to the Cincinnati
Daily Enquirer of Tuesday contains the
following interesting political gossip
under the caption, "clenDening Is Tip
ped:"
From present indications Byron
M. ClenDening, former President of
the Duckworth Club of Cincinnati,
and former Representative OF Mer-
Ger County i'll the General Assembly,
may be the third member of the
State Liquor Licensing Board.
This was the gossip to-day i'll po-
litical circles but no word came
from the circle of the Governors
advisers.
IF S. A. Hoskins, of Auglaize
County, and John l.. Sullivan, of Co
lumbiana, are chosen on the board, it
will be notable that the original
homes of the first state board were
located whiting radius of a dozen
miles"
And a pretty good bunch to tie to, too.
Mr.. ClenDening, who went to Cincin-
natl from Celina fifteen or sixteen years
ago, is we'll remembered in his boyhood
home, where he fought good fight un-
der adverse circumstances and won his
way to honor and deserved success. He
was honored in many ways in Mercer
County. He made some enemies, the
portion of every aggressive man, but
they have generally been of the sneak
ing order and generally despicable. Mr..
friends in the town and
without regard to party bias,
would be glad to see him honored by
Governor Cox, knowing full we'll he
would bring ability and tact as we'll as
clean action to a board fraught with
such great responsibilities to the state.
Strange as it may appear, Mercer
County people are pretty we'll acquaint
ed with the other gentlemen-Messrs.
Hosllins and Sullivan-and knows no i'll
of them. Mr. Sullivan until just few
years ago was editor of the ST. Maryst
a republican paper now ex-
-inct, and like Mr.. Hoskins, is we'll and
favorably known throughout the State,
and otherwise.

the only stairway leading to the sec
ond floor. The prisoners frantically
tore at the heavy bars that covered
the jail windows, but to no avail.
Their screams brought guards and
other prison attaches, but the flames
drove back members of the rescue
party each time hey attempted to
liberate the negroes, who one by one
fell back into the flames and perished.
Everything was in the fires favor.
The building was constructed 10
years ago of lumber taken from dis
carded penitentiary. There was no
fre-fghting apparatus at the farm and
the first floor of the building was
filled with inflammable material.
The prisoners all were worked in
the cotton fields of the state farm and
were housed in the cage at night.
Among them were some desperate
criminals Serving long sentences.

SOME FALSE IMPRESS
SION CORRECTED

1t is falsely reported that the indus
trial, agricultural and liquor license
commissions made an enormous new
burden for the tax payers.
Here is the truth:
The three members of the state indus
trial commission at annual salaries of
S. 900 take the places of the three $4,000
salaried members of the state liability
board of awards, who we're legislated
out of office by the new act. Not a
cent of salary increase.
-Four men prominently mentioned for
positions on the state agricultural COM
mission are already in the employ of the
state at an average salary of S4, 666 per
year. The increase of S333.1-3 per year
is trivial compared to the enormous saw
ing that will come through the elimina-
ton Of duplication of effort and the sub
stitution of co.ordinated activities.
These two commissions are a part of
a policy of retrenchment and consolida-
ton of departments, along the line of
the state board of administration act,
under which 500, 900 we're saved in a
single year. The liquor license COM
mission will not cost the tax payers a
single cent, for the traffic bears the eX-
pense through levy of $105 per year on
each saloon that is licensed.

When Mr.. Williams made his profess
ional debut as an artist he was in posses
sion of Wurltizer harp, to which he had
regularity and legally married some
years before, and to which he always re-
ferred in respectful tones as "Old Wurl-

And so it happened that he lost his siden-

him as Wurlitzer's s Jimmie which in sue

ment than any other one man.

DIRTY POLITICS GETS
DESERVED JOLT
From Governor Cox, Who Gives
Reasons for Not Removing
Washington CHI. Mayor.

Columbus, o., July 22.-Declaring
that 'the executive department of the
commonwealth would depart from the
dignity and spirit of our institutions by
giving any recognition whatsoever" to
the petition submitted by the Law and
Order league of Washington c. H., de-
manding the removal from Office of Harve
w. Smith mayor of that city, Governor
Cox has notified r. o. Young, president
of the league, that the mayor should con-
tinue in office.
Charges were filed recently against
Mayor Smith after he and woman de-
tective, employed by the league, had
been arrested in a house of questionable
in this city. They alleged
that the mayor was guilty of gross inn
and of gross neglect of duty by
refusing to enforce the liquor laws. In
the letter to the president of the league
the governor severly censures the em-
ployment of a woman detective in order
that charges of immortality might be filed
against an official.
The letter follows:
R. O. Young, President Law and
order League, Washington
c. H., o.:
Dear Sir-Careful consideration
has been given to the charges sub
mitted by the Law and Order League
of Washington {. H., Ohio, against
Harve w. Smith, mayor ofthat city.
The circumstances surrounding the
whole case have also been gone into
thoroughly. Upon information sub
mitted in writing by the attorneys
of the Law and Order League at my
request, it is admitted that this is an
affair of entrapment, that a female
detective was employed to induce
Mayor Smith to accompany her to a
house conducted for immoral pur-
poses, and when the evidence of
gnilt was completed, police officers
familiar with the plot raided the
place.
I know of no official action of de-
linquency that is comparable in the
moral scale to the depravity which
marked the entrapment of the pub
lie officer in question.
In the assumed name of an Ohio
community, and in behalf of the pur-
ity of the place, the person of wo-
man was prostituted that the ends of
justice might be served.
The executive department of the
commonwealth, would, it seems to
me, depart from the dignity. and
spirit of our institutions by giving
any recognition whatsoever to pro-
cedure as indefensible as this.
Very truly yours,
JAMES M. COX, Governor.

VXTEIV not give your lad
VIII i the same training?

when l was n growing lad, and came
upon many words in my reading that
did not understand, my mother, in
stead of giving me the definition when
Iapplied to her, uniformly sent me to
the dictionary to learn it, and in this
way gradually learned many things
besides the meaning of the individual
word in questiOn--among other things,
how to use a dictionary, and the great
pleasure and advantage there might
be in the use of the dictionary.
Afterwards, when went to the village
school, my chief diversion, after les
sons were learned and before they
were recited, was in turning over the
pages of the Unabridged of those
days. Now the most modern Una
bridged- -theNEW INTERNATIONAL
gives me a pleasure of the same sort.
So far as my knowledge extends, il Is
at present the best of the One-vOlume
dictionaries, and quite sufficient for
all ordinary uses. Even those who
possess the splendid dictionaries in
several volumes will yet find it a great
convenience to have this, which is so
compact, so full, and so trustworthy
as to leave, in most cases, little to be
desired. ALBERT S. Cook, Ph.D., LID,

Dangerous "Moral" Films.

New York has started out to sup
press the film depicting white slav-
cry. Newark, n. j., has been
aroused to stop the exhibition that
was being given in that city. The
Traveller has previously alluded to
the latter case. Public sentiment has
apparently awakened to the fact that
all that purports to teach a moral
lesson does not teach morality. The
motion picture film holds a wonder
full educational power. 1t has equal
power for the dissemination of mis-
information. Can any one claim that
there is any benefit, except to the
box office, in unrolling before an au-
dienee, in pictured melodrama, the
story of the career of a white SLAYER +?
No serious claim can be made that
the purpose is to show the hideous-
ness Of an evil. Strong as was the OBJ
lection to Damaged Goods" 1t had
merit that is entirely absent from the
purely commercial movie" films
Boston Traveller.
Moral lessons" cunningly twisted
into immoral attractions are a ia
vorite snare of the devil. More pure
cussedness is now sneaking around in
a gown marked moral" than ever be-
fore in history. Men--real men-who
have the interests Of communities at
heart, can do no better service than
to. guard the plastic minds of the
young from some of the insidious evil
masquerading as moral" plays and
films. Degenerate minds are ever in
spring them and for the dollars that
are in them even quite respectable
business men are tempted TO believe
the moral" pretension.

ployer to cut down his working force
on the plea that business does not
longer justify normal activities. Such
an employer is regarded as a candi-
date for that mythical gallows erected
by the President a year or so ago for
all those who air and abet hard
times"
Before Diminishing Congress and TAX
ing his departure for the South for
rest and reflection, President Wilson
looked over the industrial field and ex-
pressed satisfaction that there was
disposition among large business con-
Germs to "reerganize" themselves in
compliance with the sherman anti
trust law. Evidently this prospect is
highly gratifying to the head of the
nation, as it is to the nation itself. In
an unofficial statement the President
let it be known that there is
very general disposition to inquire
what the law is among business men,
who desire to comply with the law If
they can find out just what they are
to do.
Thus far there has been no evidence
that business men generally, big ana
little do not want to comply with the
law. The whole trouble is that nobody
knows just what the laws are or what
they mean. This ignorance extends to
the men who made them and to the
officers entrusted with their enforce
ment Ever since the Sherman act
was passed (and it was passed by
Republican Congress and signed by a
Republican PresidenD there has been
confusion and perplexity about its
meaning. Those who framed the act
and the President who signed 1t laid
down very strict lines defining its
meaning, and this definition has been
confirmed by supreme court decl-
sion. The Sherman law would be
equal to all the demands of justice
and reason were those now in power
actuated by patriotic desire to allow
business to live. No wonder business
men are asking about the Sherman
law, for it has been construed ana
twisted by the present administration
until nobody knows with any certain
" what it means. 1t is arrant dema-
gogy to assume that the great mass
of business men do not want TO OBEY
the law 1t is to their interests 10
obey it. The industrial and financial
establishments that willfully do wrong
are comparatively few, just as there
are comparatively few ministers VINO
wander from the path of rectitude or
citizens who violate the laws against
crime. There is nothing especially
significant in the fact that business
men are inquiring what is expected OF
them. With an administration that Is
not sure what it is dong, with sudden
increase of new statutes and regula-
tions and with legal department that
is laboring in a thick fog, it is no
wonder that business interests are
cropping about trying to find the SAFE
path to tread
