One o. the Cox Eapers at Col
umbus is greatly disturbed by
the purpose that it ascrlbes to
Governor Willis to reduce the
salaries by legislative enactment
of a number of the highly paid
hCld-oVer commissioners and ap-
pointees of the Democratic ad-
ministration and thus deprive
them of their Offices. The yelled
suggestion is made that such
transcendant talent as now grac-
es these commissions cannot be
secured for less money. The in
tination that Governor Willis in
tends to reduce salaries for the
sole purpose of getting rid of the
Democratic hold-overs has no
foundation whatever in fact, for
it would be futile. He has set
the example by reducing the sal
aries of his own appointee5 and
it is doubtless true that, if the
Democratic hCld-overS cannot af-
ford to serve the state for like
salaries, they will be permitted
to 90 and no tears will be shed,
The Governor intends to practice
the economy that he has been
preaching; this may be a little
unusual in Ohio, but the people
will become accustomed to it and
the mo1e they see of it the bet
ter they will like it.

The Door is Bolted and
Barred.

prosperity is at our door"
said President Wilson in his lat
est speech. Is it?
How long has prosperity been
at the door?
Why hasn't prosperity come in
long ago?
Who shut prosperity out?
When will prosperity be allow
ed to come in?
Is the door locked against pros
perity?
Who locked it?
Is the door bolted and barred
by free-trade on the inside?
Three million unemployed wage
earners and their families are
waiting for the bolt to be shot
back, the bars removed, and the
door opened to prosperity.
The bolt is the present free
trade tariff; the bar IS the stab
horn folly and ignorance Of the
flee-trade administration and
Congress.
Unless this bolt and this bar be
removed, prosperity cannot come
in,
Who will remove the bolt and
the bar?
The people, at the polls in No
Vember, 1915.
Then the door will be opened
once more for protection and
prosperity.

The Governor and the
Jobs.

Politicians are analyzing, a1x-
iously, the appointments made
by the new governor, to deter
mine what qualities are necessa-
ry to successful candidacy.
Recent govern ors-to be sFe-
cifc, those elected in the four
campaigns managed by VIM. L.
Finley-have seemed to consider
in a candidate: First, his value
as a vote-getter; second, his eff
cheney; and third, his honesty.
In many cases the third quality
was not secured, as has been
shown by the graft scandals
which treaded upon each others
heels during the times of Har-
mon and Cox.
In the new era in political prac-
tice the Governor takes time,
first, to learn if applicants for
positions as department heads
have a good reputation for hon.
e5ty. He then inquiries if the
applicant has had a place which
gave op opportunity for experience
of value to one in the place ask
ed, and if he showed efficiency
in that position. Last, comes
the question of his value to the
party organization.
This plan of Governor Willis
for securing men to manage di-
rectly the state departments, for
whose conduct he is responsible
to the people, is strange, start
ling and distl essing to any state
managers who desire to name
persons for positions of power.
But, there now is a new order tf
things under which efficiency in
government, alone, is necessary
to continuance in office.
No longer 90 politicians, in
convention assembled, determine
what persons may be voted for.
Now, the people at primaries Sc
lect their candidates. There
fore, a Larty to remain in power
must administer the affairs of
state to Llease the mass of vot-
ers, not the plrty's managers.
Tie people do now rule.

it was found, had partly reunited.
With his head free again the python
was obviously in the best of spirits and
celebrated the occasion by swallowing

shed, including the transparent outer
lenses of the eye. Afterward 1t was
decided to replace the plaster of paris.
Awaiting q moment when the giant
reptile was coied in his tank, six
heavy keepers cr&wled into his cage

that a commission appointed by
former Governor Cox should rec

highway commission of three

departed administration Just
what will be done with this bulky
report is not known. Before any

be carefully examined in older
