Suit Is Dismissed.

The supreme court dismissed the
suit of George H. Phelps, of Findlay,
against the Standard Oil Co. and sub
sidiary corporations. Phelps, who is
an oil producer, sued to GUST the com
pany, under the provisions of the Val
entine State antitrust law. The case
has been pending in the courts for
years, having been carried up from
the courts of Hancock county. In his
suit Phelps sought to have receivers
appointed for the transportation and
storage facilities of the Ohio Oil Co.
and the Buckeye Pipe Line Co. He
maintained this separation of the com
panies from the Standard Oil Co.

could invoke court action looking to
the dissolution of the combination.

M aterial Rejected.


Not a single item of material which
goes into the construction of a state
aid built highway is permitted to be
used until it has passed the most rigid
and severe test. So thorough has the
work been done this summer under
the supervision of A. E. Rea and his
assistants, that many car loads OF
brick and cement have been rejected
as not conforming to the demands OF
the departments specifications and
the criterion of efficiency set by the
laboratory under Mr.. Rae. This bu-
reau of the state highway department
is considered one of the most import
ant branches in the work. 1t is To-
Gated in Brown hall, at the Ohio State
University, the space, light and heat,
being given free to the state. Mr..
Rae, the head in charge, is a ceramic
engineer. He has as assistants John
N. Davis, civil engineer, in charge of
cement tests; Howard A. lowering,
mining engineer, in charge of brick
and stone, and Shreve Clark, chemist,
in charge of bituminous materials. AS
laborers he has assisting him on part

NOT THE 7REAsURY's DUTY
Regulation of the Rate of interest Is
No Concern of That Branch of
the Government.

Until now there has been little rea-
son to find fault with the Washington
attitude toward the banking and busi-
ness community in the emergency
which the European wal has created.
The latest utterance of Secretary Nc
Adoo have too much of the dictatorial
and minatory note which he was in
clined to strike last year when cur
rency legislation vas being shaped.
By directing public notice, as he has
done, to the proclivity of interior
banks to hoard reserves at this time
and restrict credit, the secretary of
the treasury may help to relieve
money market strain. The manner in
which Mr.. McAdoo reported the dis
covery of excessive reserve accumula'
ton in many parts of the country was
not altogether fortunate, however, and
raised some doubts as to whether or
not he was taking altogether the view
he should of banking conduct. These
doubts are strengthened by the no.
tions which the secretary of the treas
ury has expressed regarding current
interest rates on loans.
There is all the difference in the
world between an unreasonable denial
of credit and the grant of credit al
high interest when justified by the
necessity of discouraging expansive
borrowing. Mr.. McAdoo is likely to
do more harm than good by endeavor
ing to establish the treasury as the
regulator of the rate of interest, and
it is to- be hoped that the chief finan.
cial officer of the government has not
set out on a course calculated to dis
rupt the satisfactory concert that has
SO far prevailed between the goTern
ment and financial interests in dealing
with the conditions produced by the
war.

out Of the Mouths Of Babes.

with her hair all fluffy.
"Oh, mamma" cried Julia, who
fricasseed your hair?"
Listen, Elva," said the fond mother,
"and I'll read to you about heaven and

PEOPLE WILL WANT no KNOW
Imposition of War Taxes Must Be Jus
titled by the Democratic
Administration.

Since the United States Is not en-,
gagged in war the American people will
scrutinize closely the war taxes i'm,
posed by congress.
There is no chance that the taxes
will be approved by the people in a
cloud of patriotism. Marching troops
will not distract the attention of the
voters. Bands will not be present to
drown the protests of those who are
pinched by the taxes.
The people will want to know why
they are being taxed. They will want
to know whether such taxes are neces
sary, and whether they might not have
been avoided by the practice of a little
economy since the Democratic party
came into power.
If there were any real issues which
Influenced the election Of the Demo
Gratis, aside from the split in the Re-
publican party, they were the high
cost of living and the pledge of econ.
omy.
The tariff for revenue only has
proved a failure from a r~evenue-pro-
ducing standpoint. Before the war be
gan, imports had increased amazingly,
but the revenue had fallen off.
If the new tariff cannot be defended
as a revenue producer, its acceptance
by any portion of the public is doubt
full. Certainly it cannot be shown to
have reduced the cost of living. Its
effect on business and employment is
already an issue in the congressional
campaign.
By bringing forward a plan for war
taxes, at a time when the United
States is at peace, the Democratic
party deliberately focuses attention
upon extravaganza and the failure OF
the tariff for revenue only. 1t suggest.
an inquiry as to the reason WHY ecoI-'
omies have not been practiced, ara
why the tariff for revenue only has
not produced the revenue.
Many of these issues might have
been overlooked by the public if they
had been left as abstract problems.
but with a large proportion o. tha pub
lie feeling the pinch in the Eockstbook
some original thinking will be done at
the polls.

Organization of Banks.

Organization of the federal reserve
bank of this district is expected to
make rapid progress during the next
ten days. Conferences have been held
by the Glass C directors with the fed

Is no small task ahead of the reserve
bank directors with the completion of

IS MERELY JUGGLING
R0oSevelt'S Attitude Not Likely to
Deceive Anyone.
That He Is Seeking the Presidential
Nomination in 1916 Is So Patent
That Hiss Disclaimer Is Sim
ply Absurd.

Mr.. Roosevelt's Maryland friends
are not convinced that his letter to a
Republican Of that state takes him out
OF the presidential equation. They ex-
pect him to be a candidate in 1916.
Their heads are very level.
When Mr.. Roosevelt declared
promptly Upon his triumph in 1904
that he would not stand again for the
presidency he was entirely sincere.
1t was a moment of supreme satisfac-
ton to him. He was occupying the
highest office within the gift of the
people, and by a most impressive ma
jority they had just endorsed his
course in it. He had four years more
in which to impress his views on legis-
lation. So, recalling the third term
tradition, generally accepted as an in
h1bition, he gave the country an as
surance which moved it to general and
sincere admiration.
Later, the tempter came. Out of
power, Mr.. Roosevelt began to sigh
for a return to power. He had tasted
of it, and he liked it. He was still
young, and his appetite strong.
Some of his friends who had not
Jared as they thought they should have
Jared under his successor played upon
Mr.. Roosevelt's weakness. They told
him that Republicanism under Mr..
Taft had degenerated, and that only
he, Roosevelt, could restore it to its
former estate of responsibility and
usefulness. AS this assurance jumped
with his ambition, Mr.. Roosevelt EN-
braced it and acted on it. Swearing
he would never run again, he ran
again.
He is eager to make another race
He and his most intimate friends are
preparing the way. Nothing could be
palmer. Broad daylight is not more SO
For this reason Mr.. Roosevelt's
present juggling with the matter viii
some regret even in his OWE
political household. 1t presents him
in a disappointing aspect. He is
STOPPING in an effort to conquer. In
1912 he appeared as a man who ha6
changed his mind. What he then die
he did boldly. He SHE'D his castor
into the ring, and called attention tc
the headpiece and what it signifed.
Now he is disclaiming what every
body is convinced of. Seeing thai
Bull Moosery is disappearing, largely
under the charge that it represents
only his personal fortunes, he is de
claring that, although he is wrapped
up in the cause, the cause is MOI
wrapped up in him, and that he may
not be the n chosen to lead the Bull
Moose party two years hence.
The country will not be deceived. L
has taken the measure of both Mr.
Roosevelt and his aiders and abetteri
for another term for him in the White
House, and it will read all his deliver
ances in the light of common knowl
edge and common ense.

These are parlous times the world
over. We are not at war with guns in
our hands with any power, but are EN-
b~arrassed by conditions which the
fighting powers have produced; and
those conditions must be met as they
affect us. The Democratic revision of

producer. Democratic appropriations
are record-breakers. Let the respon
sibility be fixed, but let the treasury
be put in shape for any emergency

Columbus.-Columbus entertained
the I'D annual conclave of the Grand

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
1t is estimated that the gathering
brought 10000 visitors. Plumed sir

Masonic gatherings ever held i n the
Buckeye state.
There was a big reception at Ma

knights and their wives. There was
also a concert there by the Knights

at the Masonic temple.
The grand commandery opened at

The response on behalf of the grand
commandery was by Deputy Grand
Commander Nelson Williams, of Ham

At 2 in the afternoon the monster
conclave parade, participated in by
5000 or more sir knights, was given.
One of the special features of this was
the massing of the bands and their
playing in unison of Onward, Chris
tan Soldiers" sending out a mighty
burst of music which was wonderfully
inspiring. The parade was followed
by battalion formation, dress parade
and drills in front of the reviewing

how die the Democrats meet their

challenge to economize? Their record
on the pork barrel is a sad answer to
