Speaks Plainly.

II. w. Smith, editor of the Tv.
Ter County Star, who was a mem.
Der Of the recent legislature, speaks
plainly in his paper, as follows:
"The combination Of coal, oil.
gas, whiskey and railroads was too
powerful for certain senators.
They thought more Of the lobby
and free whiskey and possibly
some other things than they did Of
the people. We did not intend TO
speak 30 openly for while vet,
but the editor is tired of being
blamed for things which be could
not prevent aud for the defeat of
measures for which he worked and
voted"
Harry did bis duty and the peo-
pie Of Tyler county should be
proud Of the record be made.

then for two hours more send gas

Shut Up Those Chickens.

Now Is the time of the year to
make garden and many of the peo-
pie in West Union have their
ground plowed, and partly planted.
Persons who have chickens shou Id
shut them up. You may not wish
to plant garden yourself, you may
think that you should be allowed
to raise your chickens on your own
property as you wish. You should
be, but you should not be allowed
to raise those chickens TO annoy
your neighbors. Shut them up.
That little piece of garden may
mean a great deal to your neigh
Dor, who is now laying awake at
night planning what he Is going
to raise III it.
Encourage your neighbor, make
his life more pleasant and a
little happier by putting
those chickens in the pen. If you
let them get out and our neigh Dor
loses his temper and kills one of
them who could blame him? Who
would feel very kindly toward q
rooster that would scratch out all
their choice plants and then crow
over them? If you let your chick
ems run at large there is bound to
be a GOODNESS, if nothing else,
spring up between your neighbor
and yourself. 1t lie impossible to
help 1T. So good people help to
keep the town in good humor
by shutting up those chickens.-

EVEN LOW-GRADE MACHINE
BUILDER

In turning down a physician who
had finished first in a state civil ser
vice examination and naming a low
percentage candidate, Governor
Frank b, Willis made this remark,
which should be remembered by all
lovers of good government:
my position is TO select Re-
publican over a Democrat, pro-
viding a Republican is on the
eligible list, There is no use be-
ing mealy-mouthed about II. "
In exercising this remarkable
power II is to be remembered that
the governor set aside the action OF
the State Industrial Commission
which was about TO name the success
full candidate He did this through
the authority given him under the
law which permits him to approve
the appointments made by that com
mission. Yet on the stump last fall,
Governor Willis denounced his prin-
cipal opponent for building up a po-
litical machine and specifically prom
ised to repeal the law which gives to
the chief executive the authority to
wise appointments made by state
boards and commissions.

THE BIG MAN AT COLUMBUS
TOttawa sentlneil /


One man with common sense and
nerve can stand a whole Legislature
on its head. This describes what
Attorney General Turner is and did
in Columbus last week. He did not
use feather duster. He is a Re
publican. BY swinging a big stick
and hitting in the right place he
brought the Republicans In the legls-
lature to their senses. They cussed
and damned Turner in loud voice
when he first spanked them. Turner
saw the mad riot race the Republican
majority was running. He and other
party leaders saw that something had
to be done Governor Willis refused
to play the part Turner is a short,
stout, well built branch of a man,
He has the reputation of not being
afraid. He has won the APPLAUSE OF
the whole state by ealing a halt TO a
lot of nonsense and law wrecking
program of the legislature.
The legislators will now have to
start all over on many things they
have started. They wanted to at
tach the emergency clause to a lot OF
partisan legislation. The Attorney
General laid down the law to them in
plain language. They cussed him
loudly and roundly They wanted to
proceed with their selfish, partisan,
personal purposes. Turner said mo, "
and they heard him, Now they are
afraid Turner will investigate how
closely they have been to the big lob
by that infests the state house day
and night. Turner has no use for
the lobbyists He stands with Gov
ernor Cox on that subject.
Most of the newspapers of Ohio
have complimented Turner for his
bold stand in bucking the short-cir-
cuited statesmen at Columbus.
Turner would no doubt be pleased
If Governor Willis would cast Off
some of the self-aX-grinding advisors
who continually harass him.

WHERE SATAN CLAIMS HALF

There will be better religion inside
the church and better sermon come
out of the preacher if the outside of
the "meetin' house is respectable.
Better work will be done in school
if teacher and school board discover
that the school house and grounds
are an eyesore to the community, and
then cure the disease. Many teach
ers and preachers should be stuck
with pin. Many church and school
officers need the stimulating effect of
dynamite.
Satan claims half interest in the
church or school that needs paint,
repair and decent surroundings.
When school house and grounds
become the most untidy, and drear-
lest spot in the neighborhood, it's
time to change churches and school
board. Paint, flowers, shrubs, trees
are right bowers of religion and edu-
cation Hats off to teacher and
preacher who present good appear
ance. The Agricultural Commission
of Ohio urges both town and coun-
try to make church and school house
beauty spots, and not permit them to
become eyesores.

THAT WICKLINE BILL

1t is said that the Wickline bill
pending in the State Senate and hav-
ing in view change in the election
system of the State is one of rather
doubtful purpose. 1t is commonly
supposed that this bill harbors some
very dangerous sleepers. The prin-
cipal proposed change in the law,
however, seems to affect the election
of clerks of Board of Elections. Sec
ton 4794 of the bill provides that the
clerk after his election shall continue
in office for four years. This would
permit a Republican clerk, elected in
1916, to remain in that position until
1920, Notwithstanding the fact that
a Democratic administration may
come into power in January, 1911.
So far as placing authority in the
hands of the Secretary of State to
settle controversies where more than
one committee, each claiming to be
the rightful executive make recon-
mendations to the secretary is con-
cerned, there is no reason for criti-
cism of the proposed bill.
1t is hoped that in passing bill
of this character, which is of supreme
importance to the voters of te state,
that the legislature will give some at
tention to other than mere partisan
considerations. OF all laws upon the
statute books we can imagine few Of

BEGINNING TO THINK WARNES
LAW ALL RIGHT

Following the hurried shift in tax
assessors in all the counties in the
state last week there have come out
hints of danger for the Parrett-Wit-
temore taxation measure that is hung
up on a snag in the senate after hay
ing passed the house. There appears
to be more than a mere suspicion Of
fear that the men who have been
abruptly seated in lucrative offices as
tax assessors may quietly pass word
to their friends in the law making
body that the present taxation law,
as they propose to administer it, is
going to be a mighty fine thing for
the people of the state and that it
ought to be continued.
Alerady it is claimed that some Of
the tax assessors have made express
ions that indicate their willingness to
have the much derided Warnes tax
law continued, of course, under their
own official administration. By hur-
rying the men into place the admin
istration may find that it has butlded
an obstruction ahead of one of its pet
plans.
