Not in a decade has the office of
the attorney general of Ohio been so
mis-used as it is by its present hold
er, Edward G. Turner. Starting with
promise of giving good account of
himself Mr.. Turner has developed
into the merest partisan, issuing rul-
ings at command to bolster up the
faults and shortcomings of a falling
administration and to furnish means
for various parts of that administra-
ton to take advantage of the voters
and the taxpayers to perpetuate it
self in office and to thrive while in
Office In the matter of the eXtrava-
CANT Panama-PaCific Exposition Com
mission, the Attorney General has
gone a long way round to explain
that whiskey and bon bOns are gro
ceries, and that a suitable entertain
ment building having been built, err
90 suitable entertainment must be
given; and if Newt Miller prefers
Green River to any other brand and
calls it groceries, that's all right.
We are inclined to think that the tax
payers will stand by State Auditor
Donahey in the matter of refusing
to pay such bills unless so ordered
by the supreme court. Mr.. Donahey
is a plain sort of clodhopper from the
hill of Tuscawaras but he is honest
through and through, and when he
saws Green River and such things
are not necessaries of life we are in
cIined to believe he Is right, all OF
the attorney generals that ever lived

Judge Anderson might have said
that the saloon is going, and in many
states and hundreds of counties has
already gone, and for the very reason
so bluntly given. Prohibition is win

the sentiment in favor of total alb

The brewers who own most of the
saloons are chiefly to blame for the
disasters which are overtaking them
They have not been content to sell
beer. They have undertaken to gov

it has often been abused The brew

THERE'S A REASON

When a man takes a position on
a pubic question, you naturally in
quire the reason. EX-president Taft
advocates a 60 per cent increase in
the appropriations for the army and
navy, and suggests that a part of
this increase might be raised from a
tax on sugar.
When it is remembered that Mr..
Taft, when President, favored a tax
on sugar, but did not favor any pre-
paredness, as he now urges, the ques-
tion now arises; Does he favor tax
on sugar as a means of preparing, or
does he favor preparedness as an ex-
cuse for taxing sugar? There's a
reason why protectionists favor ex-
travagant appropriations--they want
an excuse for increasing the tax on
imports.

MILITARIsM vs.. DEMoCRAOY

Democracy had progressed t,
such an extent in Europe that II wa
necessary for monarchial parties Il
have a war, or change their method
of government" so says DR.. John w
Slaughter, of the University of Lon
don, who is a native of Alabama ant
now lives in England. That Is tn,
view that was expressed by man!
Americans when the war broke ou
more than year ago.
DR., Slaughter says that many per
sons in this country do not under
stand the great progress that has
been made in social democracy IN
Europe-and he might have said thai
most Americans do not understand
it; and that this is particularly true
of England. Through popular ed
ucation, socialism, trades-unlonlsm
and cooperative societies." he says
the common people of England have
been taught what their rights are and
ohw they can secure them.
OF course the privileged classes
including the great alnd owners who
perform no services. yet have vast
incomes from ground rents-have as
Dr. Slaughter points out, watched the
growth of the democratic idea In
Great Britain with alarm, just a sthe
privileged classes in America have
watched with much alarm the growth
of the democratic idea in this coun-
try. And here, as in Great Britain
and in Germany ,militarism is pc
culiarly the function of the ruling
classes"
When the opportunity was pre-
sented of engaging in war without, or
of facing difficulties Within" as DR..
Slaughter puts it, Germany declared
war, Austria declared war, Russia de-
clared war and Great Britain declar-
ed war-for the common people to
fight and pay for. That easily and
naturally and correctly accounts for
the efforts of men OF special priVi-
leges in this country to create mil
tary spirit here.
Political and economic problems
at home are easily forgotten when
nation is at war, or is busy getting
ready to fight real or an imaginary
foe 1t is easy for the people to
forget and turn aside from their po-
litical and economic troubles when
scoundrelly conspirators
have cultivated hatred for some ma
tion. The People will not willingly
bear the expense of huge, costly mill
itary and naval establishments unless
they have been taught to fear and
then to hate their brothers of some
other nation
The interests-the awr trust and
the whole brood of special privilege
in this country are alarmed for
fear that some of their privilege,
their power to take tribute from the
people, will be taken from them, and
it should be taken from them. Hence
the demand for preparedness.
Further, as DR.. Slaughter points
out, the British tories would like to
see enforced military service 'as
absis for the future for imposing
miltarism as an adjunct of the ruling

THEIR OWN RISK

There is no necessit yfor the Unit
ed States to get excited over the
plunking of the Arabic by German
submarine, The Arabic was an Eng
lish ship which had been busy bring
ing cargoes of ammunition from Am
erica to the Allies and was on It's
way for another load. It was sure
ly up to the Germans to prevent IL Il
they could
The theory that because two Am
eriean citizens took a chance and
were killed, the United States ought
to involve itself In a bloody war Is
too ridiculous to merit the serious
attention which II receives,
As 1t happens the two Amer
leans We're not the genuine arti-
Gle Wood was an Englishman
by birth and had gone to Eng
land to serve in the British ar
my, He was only making the
trip to this country, OF which he
was a naturalized citizen, in or
der to shape his affairs to re-
turn to the English service.
Mrs. Brugiere, the other Amer
lean, had lived nine years in
Paris, because America was not
good enough. but was coming
back to avoid war troubles.
These folks took the same chance
when they embarked on a belliger-
ent ship to go through the war zone
that they would If they rode on land
near the firing line and were killed
by a stray shell.
In time Of war American citizens
ought to keep out of the war zone
and not be putting their country in
danger of a war in order to serve
their own personal interest At
least they should have taken the
ship of a neutral country 1t would
certainly have been a horrible thing
to involve the United States in a war
which would mean the loss of thous-
ands of lives for a reason like this

The new federal trade commission
is now coming in for some criticism
because it proposes establishing
zones of instruction in which experts
will teach modern efficiency meth

that this will afford a system of es-

pionage. We opine that there are
a number of manufacturers who
would like to have some federal Off
cial know what their costs were, es-
pecially during a tariff revision.

During the year ended June 30th

The New Central"

The new Central High School, the
corner stone of which was laid
Thursday, will be definite advance
in the evolution of Washington's
educational system. 1t will closely
approximate to the type of the mu-
nlcipal college which may some day
be developed to crown the public
school work of the District. In all
respects an advancement upon any
school structure heretofore planned
in Washington the new Central" will
be model, comprising every feature
calculated to increase the efficiency
of the institution. 1t has been well
placed, not merely for present, but
for future convenience of access, and
occupies commanding position with
abundant room, making it impress

creation of this most satisfactory
school home are to be congratulated

in a Central that will always re-
fleet credit upon the capital.

| way. Before taking such step, the
| republican party would have to aban.
don its self-respect. Mr.. Roosevelt
has denounced it as rotten and un-
worthy of confidence longer In his
opinion, it is as much the tool OF
the interests" today as the democ-
racy. Hence his organization of the
bull moose party.
For his part, Mr.. Roosevelt would
have to abandon his principles. This
Mr.. Shaw naively proposes. These
are the words in which Mr.. Roose-
welt is to be addressed by the sup
plicating republicans: Lay aside
some of the theories of progressivism
that have become unpopular, and
come back as President OF the
United States to conduct the country
safely through the mass of problems
that will confront it."
That is to say, a party which had
abandoned its self-respect led by a
man who had abandoned his princi-
pies could sweep the country. Great ?
Truly great! One is tempted to eN-
claim, 0 Shaw.
But another point. One OF the COM
plants against the democracy is that
it has become a one-man party. Mr..
Wilson dominates it as no man has
done since Jackson. For two years
he has been both executive and leg
islature. His friends in Congress
have gone to him for, and taken, his
orders. The New Leadership has led.
If that is an objection in the demo-
cratic party, why not as we'll to the
republican party as changed by Mr..
Shaw? Called back as Mr.. Shaw
would have him, Mr.. Roosevelt would
dominate things thoroughly-even
more thoroughly than between 1901
and 1909. He would be justified in
considering himself the sole hope OF
the country, and in imposing his
views on everybody under him. He
has the dominating spirit, and knows
how to exercise it.
No. to the extent that Mr.. Wilson
is Objectionable because of his dis
position and course, Mr.. Roosevelt is
also. There would be nothing of per-
manent benefit to the country IN
swapping one boss for another. If
the republican party can win only
under one man and that the third
term candidate who upon leaving it
for selfish motives reviled it, it does
not deserve to win. But is it reduced
to that strait? 1t is in good condi-
ton as to leaders who as republic
ans OF progressive principles and
temperament have the confidence of
both wings of the party. And one
of them will doubtless carry its
standard next year.

A Superfuous Demonstration

The Fourth of March bareback"
reached Washington a few hours
late this year, SO that it does not
fully serve as an additional argument
for change of the date of inaugu-
ration. But it came close enough to
time to demonstrate anew that the
present national calendar has its
perils for those who participate in
the quadrennial ceremony. The list
of bad Fourths Of March is already
long enough to demonstrate the ur-
gent need of change, without this
present sloppy snowfall to mark the
present season as unqualihedly I'M

The Vice President.

The Vice President, while an ear
nest man of serious purpose, refuses
to be solemn, and takes an easy and
pleasant view of things. He likes
epigram, and turns the trick himself
can Jolly" and in turn accept Jolly,
good naturally.
His acceptance of the conventional
vote of thanks for the fairness and
impair TALLY with which he had pre-
sided over the Senate at the short
session was characteristic. He made
it the theme of short disquisition,
and, while returning his thanks, took
an amiable wink at custom.
But there was more to that vote of
thanks as it voiced the views Of
many senator's than ordinary. A pro-
found sense of appreciation per-
tanned particularly to the way in
which Mr.. Marshall had carried him
self in the chair during the grave
and difficult period of the flibuster.
The opposition to the ship bill was
not only vigorous in numbers. but
skillfully led, and powerful under the
rules. 1t was clear that it could not
be defeated except by some Strong
arm" procedurc-somc ruling that
would go counter to precedent for
the express purpose of putting the
measure through. Nobody believed
that Mr.. Marshall would do such a
thing; but there was q fear that il
