Ohio.

The Ohio republicans are il need o. a
| leader Long ia control of the state. they
| fell into divisions and lost all. y demo-
crat sits in the governors chair. One of
! the states senators is a democrat and a
hope of that party now is TO give him a
| democratic colleague. This years cam
paign is going to he hummer.
| Friends of former Gov Hcrrick suggest
him for the role of Moses. They think lie
! would be able to lead his party out of its
present bondage He has shown leader
ship When in office at home iia was
years prominently identified with the
business interests Of the state. He has
means, and * widely known.
Gov Herr,ck has been out of tn. coun-
try for several Years. and is at present
filling place to which he was appointed
by President Taft His services at Paris
have been thoroughly satisfactory He
would have been relieved Of his Office last
spring had Chairman McComhs consented
to accept it. but the fact that he remains
in it is a testimonial 20 him. Mr.. Wilson
py his course has complimented the am
baSsador.
In the campaign of 1912 Coy. Herrick
was of course d Taft man. He was regu-
lar. He accepted the republican platform
of that year he did the candidate. He
believed in both Although by reason of
his office he was not as prominent in the
campaign as otherwise he would have
been. his influence was thrown to the re
publican national ticket That is known
of all.
Has lie the qualifications for the present
emergency: \ Moses must be found.
The Buckeye republicans are in "A sort of
bondage Somebody must lead them out
if they are ever to get out. Their condi-
ton attracts national attention by reason
OF the environment.
Consider the record. Grant was Ohio
born and filed the presidency two terms.
Hayes, an Ohio man, followed him. Gar
field followed Hayes. Harrison. Ohio
born, followed Cleveland Mckinley was
twice elected President. Taft followed
Roosevelt. That record has been made
since 1865 and during much the greater
part Of the time the states local affairs
have been under republican direction
Is there no spur IN this toward repub-
lican unity and activity? Is the repub-
lican cause dead in the state rightfulIy
known as the modern mother of Presi-
dents? Six sons in the White House in
forty-six years. and two of them re-
elected.
IT success is possible the work should
begin at once. The defeat of two years ago
left the Ohio republicans in very bad
shape. They had induiged in not only
party division but family row, with all
the intense bitterness attending rows of
that sort In the rejection of Taft the
modification of son of the state was in
volved, and nearly all the comment has
dwelt on that point.

Croker's Letter.

Richard Croker has, in his comfortable
home in Ireland, where he is living the
'ffe of a retired squire in good style, taken
rsn in hand TO express himself or the
subject of the reorganization of Tam
many That portion Of his letter, just
printed. which relates to the proposed
elimination of Charles Murphy from the
leadership is worthy Of reproduction:

can be felt OF the score of its genuine
ness or its sincerity. 1t forms an i'm

The Trusts.

The President and his friends in Con-
eress are disappointed at the failure of
prominent men of business To come for
ward promptly and help out with sus-
Sestions about trust legislation. They
may respond later. Let us hope SO. Now
is tie accepted time. Stacking cunning
has rhe ear of Congress and the right
of way Those with opinions OF how
tn. thing should be done should not
neglect the opportunity
1t is confessed that the bills under en-
animation are only "feeiers." There is
no purpose TO rush them through as
drawn. II they can be improved their
authors and sponsors-not necessarily the
same meiF-want it done,
This invitation should be accepted. The
business world cannot afford to show
rssentfune~s because at the start of
things last year il was held at arms
length on the tariff and the currency.
Let bygones be bygones. The President
aud his friends nave seen a light They
concede now the value of suggestions on
a business question from the business
world.
The famous Capt Cutie was left
once in charge of the store of Solomon
Gills. y customer entered. looked
around a little critically. as the captain
thought. asked few questions, but
made no selection. He failed TO find. he
said. what he wanted. At this the sales
man inquired: DO you think you'd knoY
/, if YOU saw it?'
zine old salt that he was Capt. Cut
tie lacked head for business. He was
not expert at the game of selling things.
In this matter of additional trust legis-
lation business men know what they
want. and should lay their views before
the congressional committees charged
with perfectng trust legislation. They
may not he as influential as they could
wish, for the committees will pass on all
views submitted before making report for
full debate. But to the extent that legis-
lators are advised as to the business
sense of the matter by the business
world. the better prepared they will be
to put measures into the proper shape
Some trusts are like quicksilver-very
elusive 1t is hard to shackIe them. They
have been organized by business ex-
perts. and are advised by legal experts.
Backed thus by both money and brains.
they are tough customers to handle even
by legislators trained in general work
and solicitous for the general welfare
But Congress at this session will enact
some sort of measures applying TO trusts,
and they ought to be the product of bust
ness men and legislators exchanging
opinions and compromising differences. In
no other way can either the business
world or the public be served as both
deserve. If business holds back and
legislators stumble every body will suffer

And the hardluck artists held a jubilee
They told of the disasters that We're COM

Discouraged, maybe, by the weight of

Politics and Illiteracy.
the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

the IlttsuuiSu odzeite-lilucs
Not too much faith and credit should
be given the statement in report of a
special committee of the House of Rep
resentatives that the number of illiterate
males of twenty-one years or over in
this country is enough to determine any
national election at any period of United
States history" 1t is true that the num-
ber would be sufficient to do SO if all
were voters there being 2.273,603 But
rot all are voters. No doubt the vast
majority are not Admittedly a large
proportion are illiterate negroes in
southern states where 1t is the exception
and not the rule for even literate negro
to vote. More. OF course. are aliens as
yet unnaturalized. 1t is in the southern
states that the greatest percentage of
illiteracy exists. and in these states there
Is a voting aristocracy of whites who
maintain exclusive possession of the
franchise for themselves. The smallest
proportion of illiteracy is seventeen in

Destroy Tammany.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
President Wilson and Gov Glynn
could not have selected more ap
propriate time than Tilden's birth
day to discuss the reorganiza ton of
the democratic party in New York. Nor
could Mayor Mitchell have selected a
more appropriate time to pledge his
moral support to such reorganization.
Murphy is still nominally in control of
the democratic state organization, as
he is nominally in control of Tam
many: but his is a feeble power. Muir
ply is done for. When Croker who
made him boss. says Tammany Hall
will never win again under Murphy's
management. he says what every in
telligent member of the organization
knows. Whenever the President, the
governor and the mayor. as spokesmen
of honest democracy in New York, are
prepared to announce that Murphy
must go. Murphy will have gone. There
is nobody, even in Tammany Hall. who
will lift a finger to save him. Getting
rid of Murphy is the least Of the prob
lem The chief thing is to build up q
democratic organization that is based
on principles and not on plunder. Any
other course will amount to a stand
ing invitation to graft and greed.

Taking Public Duties Seriously.
,m the Chicago News.

From the Chicago news.
While the women of Chicago are crowd
ing the places Of registration today it is
proper for one to bid the male of the
species observe the earnestness with
which his wife. his sister or his mother
not to mention all three-is preparing her
self to perform the public duty of voting
She may be an enthusiastic suffragist or
she may not; in either case she recog-
niZes that a responsibility has been
placed upon her and she is determined
not to shirk that responsibility. If he de-
sires to behold an example of the right
spirit in which to discharge his civic duty
the male voter might easily so farther
and fare worse.

DeveIopIna the Forearm.

It is not difficult to rig up some
sort of a pulley for home use and
nothing is better exercise for devel'
oping the forearm. A simple exer-
else to improve the forearm is to
clasp the hands behind the head and
bend the elbows forward and back
several times. An excellent deep
breathing exercise may also be en-
ioyed standing with the hands clasped
behind the head. In this case the ell
bows should be thrown back as far as
possible. Keep the lips closed and
draw a deep breath, rising on the tip
toes at the same time. Exhale the
breath and descend on the heels
again. Repeat these exercises several
times when standing near an open
window in a loose negligee without
corsets.
Forearms that are too fat can be
benefited by frequent applications of
a stiff brush and plenty Of hot water
and soap.
