The Merchant and his Credits.

A travelling salesman was re-
marking the other day that he
had sold the usual quantity of
goods the past few months, in
spite of the war and other de-
pressing causes. But he had
found many of his customers hard
up because of the unusual num-
ber of requests for credit. 1t
was his opinion that in both good
and bad times the American peo-
pie are getting in too easy going
habits about payment of bills.
1t is not always the hard press
ed workingman on short time
who lodges the bill collector the
most actively. Many of the well
to do are habitually slow pay.
They make requests for further
accommodation with the air Of
conferring a lordly favor.
When the victim of i'll health
or other misfortune asks for a
bill of goods on trust, it is often
practically a request of charity.
The merchant fails to see why he
should carry the whole burden of
the community's misfortunes. So
he charges up to his whole trade
the expense of bad debts. Thus
the frugal and thrifty, who may
live even parsimoniously, are
compelled to pay for luxuries for
the extravagant.
There are of course some ap-
plications for credit that are legi-
innate. People have to ia k e
risks, start out on new ventures
with small capital, seek better
positions, or industry would stag
nate. If fortune goes wrong,
creditors must wait reasonable
time. But when people on wa
ges or salary bank on their
dreams, they commonly go broke.
Many people, finding a ten dol
lar bill in their pockets, feel SAN
guine, step high, and send the
tradesman S wagons hustling
with deliveries to their homes.
The fact that the old accounts
are due is forgotten.
"The best New Years resolu-
ton is to pay every debt you pos
sibly can even if you have to
wear your old clothes to church. "
Thus concluded tn e salesman
whose remarks suggested these
reflections, and he was right.

Says That Whisky And Bon
BOnS Are Groceries
But Auditor Oonahey Refuses
To Pay For Them

decade has the office of the attorney
general of Ohio been so misused as
it is by it's present holder, Edward C.
Turner. Starting with promise of
giving good account of himself, Mr..
Turner has developed into the mer-
est partisan, issuing rulings at COM
mand to bolster up the faults and
shortcomings of failing administra.
tion, and to furnish means for var
ious parts of that administration to
take advantage of the voters and
the taxpayers to perpetuate itself in
Office and to thrive while in office.
In the matter of the extravagant
Panama-Pacific exposition commits
sion, the attorney general has gone
long way round to explain that
whisky and bon bons are groceries,
and that suitable entertainment
building having been built, ergo suit
able entertainment must be given;
and if Newt Miller prefers Green Riv.
er to any other brand and calls it
groceries that is right. We are in.
clined to think that the taxpayers
will stand by State Auditor Donahey
in the matter of refusing to pay such
bills, unless so ordered by the SUI
preme court. Mr.. Donahey is plain
sort of clodhopper from the hills of
Tuscarawas, but he is honest through
and through, and when he says Green
River and such things are not neces-
saries of life we are inclined to be-
lieve he is right, all of the attorneys
general that ever lived to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Fortunately for the state admins
tration the secretary of state did not
take advantage of Mr.. Turner's lead
to declare invalid the pending refer.
endum petitions. In this, as In 9TH
er matters, Mr.. Turner endeavored to
read into the law things that were not
there, after first having butted into
the matter and trying TO assume au-
thority given plainly by statute to
the common pleas courts.
The attorney general is proving a
sad disappointment to his friends
who thought him above petty, mar
row partisanship.
Less than sixty days have elapsed
since the partisan state board of agri-
culture came into being. 1t has al
ready. all but exhausted the appro-
priation for travelling expenses for
the year besides creating deficit of
more than $4,000 in running the
state fair by issuing free passes.
Thursday Of this week the entire
board and its secretary went to Ak
ron to eat fish fry, the state paying
each of them a per diem of $40 and
expenses. Don't this look like the
good old days?"

SCHOOL NOTES


Work on the new school building,
which Is in the state OF erection, Is
progressing very nicely. No word
about this building has been published
for quite while, SO 1t was thought
that perhaps the citizens of the com
munity would like to know what pro-
gress was being made. The basement
has been completed and the builders
are now working on the first story.
The building will no doubt be complet.
ed in the allotted time, which is
August 1, 1916, as IL has sucn an ex-
cellent start. 1t would certainly pay
any interested person to walk down
West Vine street and see the building
as it now stands.

Forum Subscription Campaign

The plan that Edward Rawlins sub.
mitted for the Forum subscription
campaign was this: The class at high
school that secures the largest num-
ber of subscriptions for the Forum
this year, either from high school stu
dents or from the public in general,
will have the second issue of the For.
um named after it and published in
it's honor. Any class securing eighty
or above subscriptions will have it's
class picture in this number. All the
classes are exceedingly interested in
this campaign which will begin Mon
day and last for two weeks, but the
Freshmen are confident of winning out
by making their superior numbers
count. Whatever the outcome is, how
ever, the campaign for the largest
number of subscriptions will be very
closely contested.

the work he has helped to accom-.
