representing gained the conf
dence of the people. Therefore
large crowds always attend their
sales which are a Surprise bill

THE KICKER-LET HIM KICK.

There is no man in Ohio who thinks
less of the Primary Election Law of
Ohio than l. consider it joke on
the credulity of the average voter. 1t
never has, no never will, give a fair
expression of the will of all the peo-
pie. But, it is the law. The people.
especially the voting people, are in
duty bound to abide by its mandates,
so long as it remains on the Statues
law
Fulton County, has under this law
held Primary Election. The results
have been published-mahy as a mat
er of course-have been disappointed,
but nevertheless, the results are there
and may not be controverted-and
why, pray tell me, is it profitable or
manly to kick? Why not come out
soiidly and unequivocaly for the
ticket, as nominated. Why indulge
in the baby act. Why snivel and cry,
why acuse this one and that, of sur
missed injustice or corruption-really
there is no good reason, the thing to
do is to "Come out in the open" and
with all our strength and purpose
support the party nominees under
the law. they are entitled to party
fealty-be god, and merit the conf
dence of your fellow men.
Yours for fair play,
C. L. ALLEN.

SAYS. OHIO'S COAL SUPPLY
MAY LAST ONLY 42 YEARS

MA LASl ONLl 40 EARS
"The annual production of coal in
Ohio has in the past nearly doubled
every ten years." says Frank A. Ray,
Professor of Mining Engineering at
The Ohio State University, in book
which he has recently published on
isThe Ohio Coal Supply and It's Ex-
haustion."
eff this rate of increase should
continue until total completion, the
coal will be exhausted in 48 years.
which means at the end the annual
production would have to be over
600,000,000 TONS" he continues. "But
this rate of increase cannot go on in
definitely. There must come time
when the output of coal for Ohio
will be reduced to it's natural mar
kets only, and the annual production
will then remain practically constant
up to the time of beginning decline,
when the annual production will grow
gradually less and finally cease when
total exhaustion is reached.
eff this constant production is al
lowed to double for the next ten
years and then remain constant until
then end, \total exhaustion would be
reached in 214 years." he says.
"All calculations upon the time of
the depletion of Ohio's coal supply
are more or less pure speculation,
however" Prof. Ray declares. "Our
knowledge is yet deficient We must
know more of it's facts, both as to the
coal reserve and the future consump-
ton, before the date of total compile
tion of the Ohio coal reserve can be
predicted

medal thus ordered and awarded. The

The Award.
The medals were awarded by the
division commander in the following
general order:
General Orders-No. 48,
Headquarters, First Div, Third Corp.
May 18th, 1853.
The Brigadier General command
ing division congratulates it on its
achievement of the End and 3rd of
May. The division pierced the centre
OF the enemy's column, captured over
seven hundred prisoners, then re-
turning, breaking through the enemy,
who had closed in its rear, executed
successfully the order of the Major
General commanding the army to at
tack at midnight; then receiving the
enemy's attack at daylight held his
hordes in check and at bay until or
dered to withdraw and hold a position
of honor given to it the front of the
new line.
The division has added to the re-
putatlon gained at williamsburg,
Fair Oaks, Glendale. Malvern Hall.
Chantilly and Fredericksburg, and can
now add to those names the Cedars
and Charlottesville.
With strengthened confidence in
the gallant generals commanding the
corp and the army this division
awaits with impatience the order to
again meet the enemy of our coun-
try. Our rejoicing is mingled with
regret for the slain and wounded
but the recollection of their brav-
cry and martydrom will be fresh
evermore and incite us to stiul
greater efforts.
The Brigader General command
ing division announces the following
names of meritorious and distinguish
ed on-commissioned officers and pri-
vate, selected for their gallantry as
recipients Of the "Kearney Cross"
the division decoration.
Many deserving soldiers may have
escaped the notice of their command
ing officers, but in the selection af-
ter the next battle they will doubtless
receive this honorable distinction.
This Cross is in honor of our old

4 MEDAL OF HONOR
Brief History of A Treasured Relic
of the Civil War-The Kearney
Cross, How and Why it Was Given
A Memory of Brave and Loyal Men.

During vacation time the editor
had the pleasure of visiting in the
home of his brother and naturally
their were "reminiscences of boyhood
favorites and friends; among these
there was the memory of an uncle
who had figured as heroe and best
friend in the lives of both brothers
and among the treasures of the young
brother was the bronze medal of
honor, The Kearney Cross, which
this uncle, Hobart G. Acker,
had worn. With the cross there was
a history Of the cross and the old
Kearney division consisting of manu-
script copies of articles appearing in
the New York Herald. Thinking that
the story of this medal might be of
interest to The Soldier readers of the
Tribune we are printing it herewith:
New York Herald Nav Both. 1868.
THE "KEARNEY CROSS
Correspondence of Mr.. Thomas Cook.
Headquarters Third Army Corp, May
81, 1868.
This has been very proud day
for the old division created by Heint-
delman. led to glory by Kearney, and
especially distinguished in later fields
under the command of the gallant
Birney. I mean the First division of
the Third corp. This division has a
history of it's own, more distinct and
glorious than that of any other single
division in the army. It's organiza-
tion bears an early date, while the
history Of nearly every battle in Vir-
ginia and Maryland is adorned by the
record of its heroic achievements. The
division won it's renown under the
lamented Kearney, who fell at its
head in the bloody battle of Chantil-
"
Immediately after the battle of
Charlottesville General Birney or
dered returns made of all the nom
commissioned officers and privates
who had been cpnspicioas for their
gallantry, bravery and meritorious
services, and also ordered a number
of the medals to be struck. The order
was given for the manufacture of the
medals to a Philadelphia house, Gen
eral Birnev personally assuming the
expense. The work was being pro-
secuted, when one day Mr.. George
Bullock, wealthy and prominent citi-
zen of that city. happened in at the
place of their manufacture. Discov-
ering the object Of the medal, he very
quietly gave directions that twice the
original number ordered be struck
and the difference in cost be charged
to his account, Such high minded
liberality is deserving of all praise.

NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY.
From Ohio Law Bulletin. of Aug.

IO1u OulO Law DullGtlIl, VI mug
81, 1914:
While Ohio has a non-partisan judi
cial ballot yet it has not a non-par-
tisan judicial temperament, and, be it
observed, the fault is not wholly that
of the layman. In New York the
higher judicial positions long have
been taken out of partisan politics
by the politicians themselves, and
without legislation. In Ohio, in spite
of legislation to the contrary, the ap-
peal is to partisan politics. And the
bar, what is it's attitude towards a
non-partisan judiciary? What aspir-
ant for judicial honors in this year of
judicial independence is indorsed by
the bar collectively or in association?
1t is to be hoped that the profession,
at least, might be non-partisan IN
choosing between the politically and
independently nominated candidates
on the bipartisan ballot, the bar
might consistently and well begin to
take the lead in choosing the brief Of
ficers of the courts of which its mem
bers are also officers, and if this be
done the law will be more than
dead letter, and the position of judge
other than the foot ball of politics IN
Ohio
