 ON OHIO POLITICS
His Early Return with Mrs. Sampson
 From the East

General and Mrs. A. J. Sampson, who spent several months in the east, where the general went last Union college and elsewhere, will re- turn to Phoenix shortly. The gen. eral and Mrs. Sampson spent the greater part of their time at Austin burg, Mrs. Sampson's former home Just before her departure, the Ashta- hula Daily Star published the follow ing:
 General Sampson is no stranger in our city for, by special invitation, he addressed the chamber of com merce, receiving a rising vote of thanks. The same is true Of his address before a large and enthusi astic meeting of the Masonic lodge For thirty years he was a popu- lar speaker under the National Re different states. He is much inter- ested in the present Ohio cam paign, as he is native of Harrison county, Ohio.
 If the record of Governor Cox and his administration can be presented to the people of Ohio as a business proposition in such a way that they will be able to comprehend it, his de- feat at the polls will be sure. l hope for the the redemption of Ohio from incompetent, not 10 say more, rule he said.

War and Sport.

There are diversions from the grim
work Of war even in the midst of bat
ties. The other day a dispatch stated
that the Crown Prince of Germany. in
intervals between engagements, found
relaxation from the strain of general
ship in pheasant hunting on nearby es-
tates. thus Offering a quaint spectacle
of personal entertainment. 1t is now
reported when the firing diminishes
and attacks are not impending British
troopers leave the trenches and retire
into safe positions in the rear and en-
gage in foot ball games. Such exercise
to relieve the tension of continuous
fighting. Gen. French, in one of his re-
cent reports, stated that proof had
been obtained from captured troopers
that a German aviator, flying over the
British position and noting a number of
the soldiers busily engaged in kicking
foot balls about the field. reported that
the effect of German artillery fire.
Without doubt if American troops were
engaged in combat they would organize
base ball games between battles. Dur
ing the Spanish war several such
matches were played. and unquestion-
ably served an admirable purpose in
keeping up the spirits of the men and
distracting their minds from the grim
work ahead of them There is nothing
actually Inconsistent in such a COM
bination of sport and warfare.
