The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1915-08-13

some million and a half dollars
Whereupon Ritter set up his residence
elsewhere, but the autocratic Willis
assessors stood their ground. Now
the Republican papers are actually Civ.
ing praise for this step which would
drive capital from the state.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1915-08-13

The trouble with the state highway
department and its failure to keep up
the good work started under the Cox
administration, is that all of the state
officials under Willis are kept busy
helping on the plans of that million
dollar new office building to house the
unnecessary outside btate depart
ments' which Willis is going to build
out of a fund created from the interest
on the treasury deficit" left by Cox
It's darned shame they can't give us
an office building and good roads at
the same time-everybody knows that
deficit of ten million dollars ought
to have been big enough for both.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1915-08-13

If some of the Republican leaders
and their press were half as energet-
ic in trying to arrange plans for the
next Republican campaign as they are
busy setting up straw men as Demo
cratic candidates for governor, there
might be some hope for them. The
way 1t looks now Willis will duck re-
sponsibility by taking the cowardly
shunt on the presidential sidetrack and
leave poor Jack Arnold to explain the
deficiencies of the present state ad-
ministration. Jack deserves better
fate than that, for had he been govern
or both the state and the Republican
party would have been in better shape.
Besides Jack can't help it.
BY the time "Bloody Bucket" Willis
gets through with the civil service in
Ohio there won't be any such thing.
1t may be all right for the governor
not to be mealy-mouthed about it, but
when he threatens to wade through
buckets of blood to get jobs for the
faithful from Ada and the late" he
may get swamped in the gore.
Frank Reighard, chairman of the
Willis house finance committee, says
he will issue a reply to Honest Vic
Donaheys statement when he gets
back from Frisco, where he is now
comforting with Willis, guardian spir,
it, Sherman A. Cuneo. All are anxious
ly awaiting that reply trusting he will
make clear just why the Willis legis-
lature in the way of economy apprO-
priated four million dollars more than
the last preceding administration
spent.
o.
Ohio is now demonstrating what
lung thinking in executive administra.
ton means. It's joke so serious as
to be tragedy.

HISTORY BUILDERS.
A Vindicive Chief Justice.
Written Expressly for The Washington Herald
By DIR. f. j. EDWARDS.

In the year 1881. spent an even
ing with the late Charles Levi Wood
bury. who at that time was ranked
among the leaders of the Boston
(llass.) bar. Mr.. Woodbury. in his
youth was with his father. Levi
Woodbury.. much of the time when the
latter was serving in the cabinets Of
Presidents Jackson and Van Buren,.
He was thus brought into association
or. rather. was in position to observe.
as q lad does observe, the personali-
ties and characteristics Of men es-
teemed great. He maintained until
his death many recollections of the
distinguished men of that early day.
In conversation with Mr.. Wood
bury. he told me that he understood
that Roger B. fancy. whom he often
saw when he was living with his
father in Washington. Judge fancy
being a fellow member Of President
Jackson's Cabinet with Judge Wood
bury, was made permanently hostile
to William II. Seward. SO much so
that he did not hesitate to say that
IL Seward were elected President or
the United States he. although Chief
Justice OF the Supreme Court. would
decline to administer the Presidential
oath to him. This emergency did not
arise because Abraham Lincoln. and
not William II. Seward, was elected
President.
Some years after my conversation
with Mr. Woodbury.. ! asked Frederick
W. Seward il he had ever heard that
Chief Justice fancy had said that in
case his father were elected President
he would not administer the oath or
the Presidential office to him.
Frederick w. Seward apparently had
heard that Chief Justice fancy did
tell some friends that in case Seward
were elected President he would break
the presidents by refusing, as Chief
Justice. to administer the oath. Mr..
Seward seemed to be reluctant to
make any comment which would
enlighten me in this matter. He did
say: My fathers invariable rule
while in public life was so to speak
and so to act that his political oppo-
nents would not ascribe anything he
said or did to a personal feeling.
When he resigned his seat in the SEN
ate he did not leave single resent
ment lurking in any Senator's heart.
After Judge fancy handed down
his opinion in the bred Scott case, in
which he said. among other things.
that the negro had no rights that the
white man was bound to respect, my
father did make in the Senate a very
vigorous and impassioned speech In
which he criticised this view. He was
careful however. not to speak in such
manner as to lead Judge fancy to
suspect that there was personal mo-
tive in his attack. He had no mo-
tive of that kind. He had great re-
spect for Judge fancy and regarded
him as a very able judge. But he did
hear that Judge fancy took the
speech to heart and attributed per-
sonaI animus. I think some attempt
was made to correct this mistaken
impression on the part of Judge
fancy. but l fear il was without
avail"
