IF being boss means that have
used my office and my influence to in
duce the Ohio legislature to redeem ev-
cry promise that the Democratic plat
form made to the people, and to carry
into effect every mandate imposed up
on us by our new constitution then

to say that Ohio has needed that kind
of boss for fifty years.

get square deal.'
He flung back to Frank B. Willis,
who has charged him with being
boss, the reply that If to carry out the
promises made the people of Ohio IL
being a boss ri think the state of Ohio
has needed boss for so years. But
whether or not am boss, one thing
is certain, have never been accused
Of being bossed.
"The voters of Ohio would like to
hear Willis explain why he killed his
own bill in the Ohio legislature when
the bill proved Objectionable to the
Standard Oil Co. The standpat candi-
date is unable to find a single legisla-
tive act Of the Democratic legislature
that he would repeal and we cannot
find single legislative act Of Mr.. VIII
lis that we can indorse."
In referring to the national situa-
tion Governor Cox said: I'VE have in
the White House at Washington
Christian gentleman who believes in
peace. Thank God we have president
who believes in peace, good will and
amity between nations Of the world.

from his bedroom in the morning with
traces Of tears on his cheeks grieving
that lives of our brave boys in blue
had to be sacrificed at Vera Cruz. His
policy kept this country from being |
plunged into armed strife abroad"
The governor defended the proposed
levy Of war tax now being consid- |
cred by congress saying:
"War abroad has SO disturbed the |
of commodities between ma
lions, that our government, which is
supported in part by customs duties,
has no alternative except to find an
other source of revenue until world
trade and customs receipts are re-
Governor Cox asked that President
Wilson be supported by sending Hon.
s. Hogan to the senate and
returning Congressman w. A. Ash
brook to congress so that they might
sustain him in his peace policy and his
peace plans.
The Governor also talked on the
benefits Of the school system, pointing
,ut that the new school law had
brought the township schools up to the
evel Of the city schools and that 1t
,nabled the country pupils to secure
,etter education. He called attention
o the fact that the good roads pro-
yram of the state administration would
end to centralize the schools in the
country by affording better means of
the schools from remote
Joints in the township.
He declared that the country boys

Bryan Kind to Spain.

WASHINGTON-There is we'll founded story going the rounds of the capital to the effect that the mem orial services at the grave of the vic tims of the battleship Maine, in Ar lington National cemetery, planned for Feb. 15, the sixteenth anniversary of the sinking of the warship in Havana harbor, were on the point of being called off a few days ago by Secretary Bryan.
 The Secretary of State considered that, as friendly relations between the United States and Spain had been fully established, it would be a gracious act to bury the past and fore go tn, annual memorial to the mar tyrs of the Maine
 Secretary of the Navy Daniels was selected some time ago to deliver the principal address at the ceremonies, and other speakers chosen were a high official of the Grand Army of the Republic, another of the Spanish War Veterans Association, and one of the most prominent of the surviv- ing officers of the ill-fated battleship Secretary Bryan's objections took the organizers Of the exercises en- tirely by surprise Members of the cabinet shared their astonishment and it was pointed out to the Sec course was hardly likely to meet with popular approval. Mr. Bryan finally gave in, and the exercises will be held as planned.

CANAL GRAFT
 |S UNEARTHED
Col. GoethaIs Dismisses Commissary Manager, Who Made Fortune
 Buying Canal Supplies.

PANAMA, Feb. 10-Col. Goethals, chairman of the Panama canal com mission, today dismissed John Burke, a purchasing agent for the govern ment, who, as manager of the com missary department, accepted large bribes from contractors who bid upon the commissary supplies needed by the commission during the days of construction
 An investigation conducted by the War department the past month de veloped the fact that Burke had made an independent fortune since he se cured the position and that he has large deposits of money in American and foreign banks; that he is the owner of considerable valuable real estate in New York and other eastern cities.
 It has developed that no law covers the offense of Burke and that he can not be brought to justice.
 The graft of Burke is the first on the canal construction that has come to light so far, and it had been hoped by those in charge that the big gov ernment undertaking might be com pleted without a whisper of wrong doing.

ENGLISH TRAVELLERS OF THE RE-
NAISSANCE. BY Clare Howard. Illus
trated. Svo. pp. xvii, 2S. The John
Lane Company.
The English have always been in GER
tain respects a strangely paradoxical
people. They are proverbially insular,
and yet conspicuously cosmopolitan.
No other in the world, not even the
French, are so closely attached to their
native soil; yet no other people are
comparable with them in far-wander-
ing adventure and wide distribution as
colonists throughout the globe. They
are self-centred, self-sufficient, con-
servative and clannish; yet they have
a supreme genius for contact with
other peoples, and for citizenship Of the
world at large.
Miss Howard's book affords re-
minder OF the long established preva-
lence of these traits. We would not
say that she tells of their origin, for
that was long before the time OF which
she writes, if, indeed, 1t was not con-
temporary with the origin Of the Eng
fish nation itself The Elizabethan
age was in these respects at ono with
the Victorian. These characteristics or
the English people were then as fixed
and as generally recognized as they are
to-day. But perhaps some of the cir
cumstances and conditions, both sub
iective and objective, were different.
Miss Howard gives us a detailed
study Of the motives which impelled
Englishmen to travel abroad, particu-
larlv on the continent Of Europe m
what was known as the grand tour,
in what is described as the age Of the
Renaissance. That was time of trans
