WILLIS WINS HOT FIGHT

Governor willis. OF Ohio. Is showing
his winning qualities in his handling
OF the difhcult problems that have
beset him since he took ONCE. One
OF the pledges made during the cam
paign was the overthrow OF the Cox
system OF dispensing liquor licenses.

solid Democratic opposition. Govern
or Willis was not disheartened by
this. but Immediately got Senator Nc
Dermott to work in framing another
liquor license decentralization bill
II was thought the McDermott
measure would satisfy the Cincinnati

measure. but they finally failed the

mott measure was passed by the
Senate by q margin OF two votes.
The bill now goes to the House,
where. IL is thought. the administra-

WISH FATHER TO THOUGHT

Lord Charles Beresford may be a
very eminent man In England, but the
least intelligent in this country would
rot have been guilty OF such expires
sions as he made. Il think" he il

saying. the Lusitania has been tor.
pedoed deliberately for the purpose OF
making the United States declare
war" So far as irritations go. England
has not been wholly blameless in this
regard. and II is probable that the
British government would not be dis
pleased IL this country was drawn into
the vortex against Germany. But just
how Lord Beresford, or any other
Englishman can figure out a probable
cause for declaration OF war on the
part OF the United States.
The most serious act sensible OF
such a construction was the torpedo.
ing OF the American tank steamer
Gulfiight. which has been charged
against Germany. but which has not
yet been proved. The English press is
encouraging the Beresford view. and
il is not through any consideration OF
an alleged indignity inflicted on this
ration. but a hope to see us lined up
With the allies against Germany.
There is considerable truth in the
bomely old saying that misery loves
company" and there is no question
but what Great Britain at this hour

such companionship.

One OF the most vital questions
before many States OF this coun-
try at the present time Is that
which has TO do with the method
OF selection of our judges. The
problem is as TO how we shall Sc
cure a judiciary which shall be

eorruptible. a bench before which
delays. trickery and passion shall
disappear.
IL Is. unfortunately. not an in
frequent thing to read newspaper
headlines such as Candidate for

Judge and Sheriff In Jail" or
Men on Supreme Bench Who
ought to Be Disbarred." Head
lines like these do not make for
peace OF mind on the part OF the
public. or reverence for the Judi
cial Office.
