MIR. /. F. oRMOND.
The SagaciOus Chairman Of Wayne
COunty's Board Of Commissioners.

The rumor having come to the
Argus, as being circulated in oppesi-
ton to him, that Mr.. I. F. Ormol d
would not stand for reorganization as
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, the editor of the Argus
took occasion to ascertain If there
were any truth In this rumor, and we
are authorized to say that there is not
a scintilla of truth in it.
/ Mr.. Ormond will stand for renomi-
nation as Chairman, and it Is most I'M
portant to the county, as we'll as emf
nently deserved by him, that he be re-
tanned as chairman. He is a man OF
large affairs, a man Of business ca
pacity, of keen sagacity, OF highest
Integrity, of clear view, of answering
timpartiality and of the courage OF his
convictions. He has been Of inestim-
able value to the tax payers OF the
county during his administration OF
its affairs as chairman of the Board
of Commissioners, not only in the con
struction of our splendid new court
house, which he has looked after care
fully and tntelligently in every detail,
but in the convict supervision and in
all other affairs of the county.
Every tax payer in Wayne County
is vitality interested in the successful
elimination of the splendid new court
house. which is a credit and a pride
to the entire county; also in b re-
moval Of the old tobacco warehouse
and other encumbering structures on
the court house square, which Mr..
Ormond and his excellent Board are
negotiating to advantageously accom-
plish. 1t is, therefore. from a mere
business viewpoint-not to mention his
preeminent fitness and deserts-evl
dent that it would be very unwise to
even seek to supplant Mr.. Ormond
as chairman.
Mr.. Ormond shows no favOritism
and the Argus plays no favorites. This
paper is not even printer to h coun-
ty, because a competitor put in a DIV
er bid than ours for the work-and the
Board awarded the contract, as they
should, to the lowest bidder capable
of doing the work. The Argus com
mends them for their impartial fruga,
administration, and has no "sore toe
over its loss.
The position of Chairman should bt
given Mr.. Ormond by reclamation ant
without opposition in the convention
He deserves it.

REDMOND GAINS
TENSION IN ULSTER
BY ASKING PEACE
Darson's Speech Pleases Tory
Members But Nationalist
Papers Call Grafton Out
burstOf B0mbast.

BELFAST. ireland, July 16.-De-
epite taut tension and threats Of civil
war between the Ulster Unonists and
the Irish Nationalists tranquility was
reported throughout the province to-
day and many Of the special police
who were sent here and to other COM
munities to preserve order during the
celebration Of the anniversary of the
Battle Of the Boyne were sent home.
Noisy celebrants were in the streets
throughout the greater part of the
night, but their actions led to nothing
serious. The preservation of good
order Is attributed mainly to the self
restraint Of the Nationalist (the sup
tporters of Home Rule) who avoided
doing anything which would result in
friction.
Leaders of the Nationaists have
counselled their followers to remain
calm and to refrain from hostile DEM
onstrations Of any kind. John Red
mond has sent kilograms to local
Nationalist leaders impressing them
with the importance Of assisting the
government in this way.
As a result, the work of the au-
thorities has been made much easier.
They have allowed the Uuster Union
lists to get rid of their surplus en-
cure in the theory that this is the
safest way to handle delicate situa-
ton.
The speech Of Sir Edward Carson.
delivered at Drumberg yesterday on
tho OCCASION of the big Orange celebra-
'tion, which was carried in full in the
Tory papers throughout the north Of
ireland today and was commented up
on as a stirring and patriotic bugle
call"
On the other hand the Liberal and
Nationalist papers merely referred to
1t as another of Sir Edwards out
breaks of bombast.
Since Orange day passed quietly a
feeling of optimism is growing and
many who had feared an actual out
break of violence and perhaps of civil
war now regard as possible a pacific
course on the part of the government
which will solve the troublesome VI

him. When he finally appeared fired

movement Of his particular division of
the French forces Just as he was about
to say a word OF praise to his father. a
bullet struck down the boy. He crumpled
UP in a heap at his fathers feet.

his sons heart beats. They had stopped.
The boy was dead. The father turned
away from his dead son, without word

showed no signs of grief until the battle
