In its recent issue the Columbus Week
ly Review carries a two column editorial
reviewing the administration of James NJ
Cox in comparison with the present state
administration. The comparison achiev-
ments of Cox are pointed out in master
full manner, and the utter failure of the
other is shown in the statement that
Willis has become a bigger joker than
was Lieutenant Governor Arnold at any
time. The first paragraph of the editor
ial is here given:
Sentiment in favor of the nomination
of James M. Cox for governor Of Ohio
next year is becoming stronger all the

Former Senator J. d. Johnson, of Ce-

his candidacy for "A berth on the bench Of

a place on the appellate bench following
Napoleon. The appointment, however,
went to Congressman Timothy Ansberry,

Senator johnson began the practice Of

Senator j. d. Johnosn. Of Celina, was
a visitor in this city Monday. The sena-
tor is not in the least averse to talking
of his candidacy for a position on the ap-
pellate court bench in this district. He
says he has not yet heard of any other

from republican sources that IL is a trifle
early to get into the game Senator
johnson evidently dissents from that view
of the situation, and is more than likely

der that the multitudinous definitions
shot at this shining mark have failed
to pierce the center, even if one or an
other may now and again have hit the
margin of the target.
One of the more obvious reasons for
this diversity of definition is that the
word has changed its meaning and is
likely to keep on changing it as We ad
vance in civilization. Once upon a
time it had a clear and sharply limited
legal content recorded by Blackstone
in his commentaries; the great lawyer
defined a gentleman as one who bears
coat armor, the grant of which adds
gentility to ones family" This is still
a fit definition of the gentilhomme in

To the east, the sweep is terminated

Paper Money Popular.

The issue Of the one-pound and ten
shilling notes in England is admitted
to be a bold experiment, but it has
proved so successful that every effort
is being made to increase their circu-
lation. The improvements made on
the second series of notes lessen the
danger of forgery and still other i'm
provemGnts may be made
The notes are convertible into gold
on demand, for which the treasury Of
Great Britain has boarded up a gold
reserve for the notes, so that in time
the paper issue, instead of raising
prices by initiating the volume OF
money in circulation, will represent
one kind of money instead of anoth-
er.
Practical financiers want the note
to remain in circulation to displace
gold, so as to build up the central re-

Real Cure, Perhaps, for Hay Fever.
In discussing the use of taccines
made from pollens in the treatment Of
hay fever, DR.. Henri Iskowitz of New
York writes in the Medical Record
that there are about thirty Towering
plants in this climate the pollen Of
any one of which may act as the ex-
citing cause in hay fever. From the
latter part of May to the middle of
July the air is heavily charged with
the pollens Of the grasses and cult
waited cereals. From the middle of Au-
gust the plants responsible are chief
ly goldenrod, ragweed and Indian
corn.
The serum used for immuniZing per-
sons Is prepared from the pollen of
some twenty flowers. This is injected
between the shoulders, Is doses being
given at intervals of three to five
days. The treatment should begin
about eight weeks before the nay
fever season. Some patients carry
their immunity over to a second sea-
son, others do not. Patients must be
treated for several successive years if
the immunity is to be permanent.
