FALSE PRETENsE
columbus Dispatch.)


The Willis administration, which
!. came In two months ago declaring
that Ohio was bankrupt, today stands
convicted of deliberate deception OF
the voters and of obtaining power on
Y false pretense.
The statement just made by Audit
or Donahey to the legislature, sets
forth that February Is. there was a
cash balance of s11,Oo2,173. against
which there were outstanding obliga'
tions of $4,161,242, showing an actual
surplus of $6,840,931. And this was
over and above the sum OF $2,4O2,lS1
In the workmen's compensation fund'
held in trust for the payment Of death
and accident claims.
Moreover, the estimated revenue
will provide more money for use this
year than was spent in 1914. without
at all touching the nearly $1,000, 600
.surplus. and there will be available
for appropriation in the next two
years moro than S4s.Ooo,0oo.
Tho condition OF the treasury thus
revealed gives the lie to one Of the
bogus representations Of the Repubii'
can organization in the last campaign
and makes farcical the reduction OF
salaries of men who earn them IN
actual service of the state. There Ii
need always properly to conserve the
, public funds but the cheese-parine
process of the last few weeks has
been without other reason than the
fiction of the campaign by which the
Republicans were helped to win their
victory at the polls.

ARM0RY
For Battery And Patriotic
Orders Of City
Put Up To Citizens AssoCia'
tiOn Wednesday Night

The securing of $4,000 armory
for use jointly by Battery ID and the
various patriotic orders of the city,
was brOached at special meeting Of
the Citizens Association Wednesday
evening and active steps were taken
to make the proposition reality.
The federal government stands
ready to give the sum of $21,0 900 to
any city for the erection and equip
ping of an armory, provided the city
will provide site and comply with
necessary formalities. In addition,
sum Of $500 is given annually by the
government for the up.keep of the
said armory.
The local proposition grew out of
request for support from the Citi-
zens' Association on the part of Bat
terry ID Of this city. 1t was at this
time that Mr.. Ralph c. Ringwalt sug.
gested the erection of a permanent
armory and spoke of the opportunity
presented by the government.
The need of such structure In this
city, not merely for uses specified
above but also as a place to hold
large public gatherings and the like,
has long been felt. Accordingly, Mr..
Ringwalt's suggestion met with in
stantaneous favor and steps were tax
ell to arouse public interest and en-
| thusiasm.
In order to obtain site for the
armory, 1t will be necessary either To
raise money by subscription or a
| general levy on taxable property of the
city by the council. Members Of the
G. A. r. and concordant orders stand
ready to donate between $4,000 and
| $4,000 toward the fund, stated Com
mander George u. Neal Wednesday
evening. A like disposition has been
shown on the part of other interested
citizens and business men. 1t would
be ecessary to raise $4,000 as min
imum.
Mr.. Robert Dowds, active in Bat
terry ID, stated Wednesday evening
that Mt. Vernon would have no trou
BILE at all in securing the federal ap
preparation of s21 900, as there is nj
other demand for an armory OH the
calendar. He stated that the Who'll.
proposition hinged on concerted ant
hard work by citizens Of this commun
ity.
At the Citizens Association meet
ing Wednesday evening, the follow
ing committee was appointed to han
die the proposition: Messrs. A. A
DOwds, s. M. Woolson and II. NJ. ROs
enthall of the association; Messrs. D
c. Stone, Sr., l.. G. Hunt and Georg
ID. Neal of the G. A. r., and Messrs

SPECTACULAR
Finish Won The Game For
The Mounts
From Oberlin Business College
Last Evening

A spectacular finish won the game
Wednesday evening for the Mounts
basket ball team, the Oberlin Busi-
ness College aggregation taking the
short end of 81 to 26 score.
The first half was Oberlin's in ev-
cry sense Of the word. They not only
exhibited speed and skill in shooting
baskets, but also seemed to have a
jinx on the locals, who wandered
about over the floor in aimless fash
ion. The half ended with the score
II to in Oberlins favor.
Toward the middle of the second
half and with Oberlin still in the
lead, the Mounts took on q new lease
of life and started In making basket
after basket. Mitchell proved quite a
sensation and dropped few difficult
ones in from long distance Six
baskets we're netted by the Mounts in
the last few minutes Of play.
A Mt. Vernon boy, Harold Seymour,
was head and heels above the rest Of
the Oberlin quintet. He scored seven
fielders by his own efforts and was a
wonderful help In fast floor work
and dogged following of the ball.
Mitchell put up the best game for
the Mounts and really displayed some
exceptional shooting, together with
good, brainy work throughout the

but as most Of tho Polish people were
unable to attend meeting on TINS
day on account Of work it was held
on the following Sunday.
The meeting was opened by invoca-
ton by Rev. FIR. Renkosiak OF st..
Adalbert's Polish Catholic church.
This was followed by selection by
Constantine Droskowski, violoncell
and Mrs. Frank Grzeca, pianist. A. F..
Koslosky then gave a short talk, ex'
planning the purpose of the meeting,
and spoke briefly about the constitu-
ton Of Poland as placing that nation
on a level with other civilized nations
Of the world.
Rev. Renkosiak then gave talk on
s'The Polish constitution and its ef-
feet on the Polish people and on Eu"
rope,'' in the Polish language. he
stated that Poland had constitution
as early as the thirteenth century but
the nation outgrew this constitution
and new one was drawn up IN the
latter part of the eighteenth century
to meet the demands Of the day. This
constitution was adopted In 1871. 1t
gave all the people of Poland equal
rights, a freedom Of conscience and a
free press. The freedom granted I'M
der this constitution was so great, said
Rev. Renkosiak, that it caused a rup-
ture with the Russian, Prussian and
Austrian governments, which feared
that the people would demand the
same thing. Kosciusko, who served in
the constitutional army in this coun-
try, during the revolutionary war,
helped to draw up the constitution Of
Poland
After the talk by Rev. Renkosiak
Oswald and Loretta Koslosky, son and
daughter Of A. F. Koslosky of this
city, rendered piano duet.
Val. E. Kasparek was the next
speaker. He talked on various mat
tiers concerning the Polish people. He
opened his talk by telling Of the draw
ing up of new constitution for Po-
land, similar to the constitution ado"--
ed by the United States; one which
was conceived in liberty and which
was dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal. He con-
tinued by saying:
"This constitution, like the star of
the East, attracted the attention Of
all the civilized and liberty loving
people of the whole world and especial
ly of Poland, notable of these being
Pulaski and Kosciusko, who offered
their military service in 1777 to aid
in perpetuating the ideals Of this new
born nation.
"History and tradition record not
only the services of these men, but Of
many other Poles who offered their
brains and blood, not only in the war
of the rebellion, but also in the civil
and the Spanish-American wars that
this nation and humanity under God
shall have a new birth Of freedom.
"Pulaski, while at the head Of his
legion in 1879, fell at Savannah, Ca,
while Kosciusko, after assisting in the
reconstruction Of this nation at the
close of the rebellion, returned to Po-
land in 1888 that he could assist in
framing a constitution for his native
country which was adopted in 1871.
'But this is not all that the sons of
Poland have done in this country and
for this country.
"History does not record the silent,
