to know where Willis stood upon the
prohibition amendment. Skillfully re
treating behind the double back action
Republican platform and refrainins
from committing himself, Mr.. Willis
returned with the charge that the ques.
tion was the result of plot between
James r. Garfield, Arthur l.. Garford
and Chairman Walter F. Brown He
had been given information, he said,
that their plans had been overheard in
a Pullman car. Chairman Brown tina.
night denied the charge categorically
and later Garfield and Garford added
their denials.
Now the Republican state commit
tee has put into circulation story to
the effect that the plot was hatched
in Columbus saloon, the conspirators
this time being Chairman Brown,
Chairman W. f. Fin1ey and Robert +.
Wolfe, editor of the Ohio State Jour.
nal, and the time being on the evening
of the day that the question was asked
AS on the first occasion all the par.
ties have entered positive denials. One
of the stories, coDceding for the sake
of argument that there was a plot,
must be false and either the state
committee or Mr.. Willis has been gull
ty of prevarication. As for the con-
spiracy not single reputable witness
has been brought forward to support
either the Pullman car or the saloon
venue.
The only fact remains without dis.
pute is that the question put by Mr.,
Cole, mechanic employed in Colum

ABOUT COMMISSIONS

When the time comes the record OF
Frank B. Willis's votes for the estab-
ishment Of investigating and other
commissions while a member of the
general assembly will be submitted to
the people of Ohio. This will be done
to show his present unfairness in his
reckless and even mendacious effort
to make 1t appear that an economical
administration has been extravagant,
As a state representative and member
of congress he is quite aware that ev.
cry legislative body operates through
either standing committees or special
commissions which either perform GER
tain functions assigned in the resolu-
tions creating them or make report $
10 the main body.
in his arraignment of the executive
administration of Governor James NJ.
Cox he, in the most absurd fashion,
charges him with having created the
following commissions:
Upon rural credits, upon survey OF
the rural schools, upon new state
penitentiary, upon investigating the
necessity for coal screen abolition, up
on relieving 1914 food sufferers, upon
codifying the road laws of the state,
upon investigating conditions OF the
state canals, upon investigating the
rates for fire insurance, upon investi-
eating the cost of the Ohio national
guard, upon relieving the condition of
the needy blind, upon investigating the
strike OF the rubber workers at Akron,
upon investigating the cost of rentals
Tor state department Offices, upon The
Investigation of the state departments
themselves, upon the investigation OF
cccupational diseases.
Each and every commission thus ere.
eted came into being through the ac-
Ron Of the general assembly and
many of them were composed of mem
bers cf that body, Democrats, Repub'
jicans and Progressives. There has
never been session of the Ohio leg
islature that did not have such commits
sions and there never will be one.
II is one Of Mr.. Williss defenses
that he voted for the investigation ol
srnsts operating in Ohio instead ol
supporting specific bin controlling
them. This resolution, which was
bmothered by the way, would have ere

ARMIES MUST fight
JACK FROST SOON.

following winter was active in Missis-
sippi
In more modern wars winter has not
caused cessation of hostilities, but it
has diminished operations. The Japan
ese advance on Mukden in 1904 was
halted about the first of September by
severe cold. Neither army was prepar-
ed to Withstand winter, SO for a month
the fighting forces lay inactive almost
within striking distance. A few engage
ments were fought in October, then op-
erations practically matted until Feb
ruary 10. when the Japanese army,
swathed in overcoats and padded leg
gings began to advance.
The investment of cities has been
less affected by cold weather than the
operations of field armies. The reason
is obvious. Investing armies can build
fire and the bodily warmth of spad of
men will keep them nearly as comfort
able as in their own homes. The Jap
anese assault on 293-Meter Hill was
made on November 80. Port Arthur
capitulated, after series of assaults,
January 2, 1905.
The war between the Balkan allies
and Turkey, contrary to usual custom,
began in the fall. Most all wars have
been inaugurated in the spring and
simmer. The troops of Bulgaria, Servia
Greece and Montenegro started to war
with complete winter kits, heavy ov.
ercoats, thick blankets and shelter
, tents.
None of the armies now in the field
except the Russians and Belgians. prob
ably, have headdresses that will af.
ford adequate protection for the win.
ter All probably will be able to with
stand the cold fairly well until the
first of the year, when winter will be.
gin to make inroads unless protection
is given.
