POSSIBLE GOVERNORSHIP
FIGHT WHEN DEMOCRATS MEET

Columbus, o., June 2.-Ohio demo-
Gratis in convention here today were
to choose district presidential elect
Ors.
Interest centered in the row which
threatened between adherents of for
mer Governor James M. Cox and those
of former Governor Judson Harmon
both gubernatorial possibilities.
Indications this morning were that
the convention, if it endorses either,
might lean toward Cox.
This belief was based upon the
stating of War Secretary Newton D..
Baker for temporary chairman and
U. S. Senator Atlee Pomerene for per-
manent chairman Both Pomerene
and Baker are close to President Will
son and administration democrats.

OLD TIME STRAWBERRIES.

Wild strawberries were eaten ages
ago, but it was not until 1870 that
they were cultivated, at Holinshed,

of Ely grew fine crop in the grounds
of his palace. Shakespeare speaks of
these strawberries in Richard III,
where the Duke of GlOuchester de-

LOUIS w. HILL r.- .-
MAY ASSUME FULL
CONTROL OF FORTUNE

St. Paul, Mimi, June 2.-Louis w
Hill, who ostensibly assumed full con-
troll of the James J. Hill fortunes, es-
tinated at perhaps $300,000,0 1000, fol-
lowing the rail magnate's death, is
of a temperamental disposition. He
is. however, of a practical turn Of
mind, his work in art being encour-
aged by his father to better temper
him for the big finance to which he
was destined.
Louis Hill has gained some fame
locally as an artist. His work is
chiefly landscape work in oils.
. After Louis was graduated from
Yale, his father put him in pair
of overalls and started him on the
bottom round of the ladder as day
laborer, to learn the railroad bust
ness. Louis went throughall the de-
partments, working without prefer
ence, succeeded him. The elder Hills
influence continued to be felt until
his death, however, Although Louis
is the second son, it appeared the En-
pire Builder had chosen him for his
successor.
The deceased empire builder, al
though his mind was of the steel trap
practical turn, still found some time
for art, which he was taught by his
son Louis to love- One of the Corot
series in the Hill gallery is said to
have cost $4,000. Hills artistic
learnings were toward the French ar
lists.

He Defends The
Saloon.
Abolish II Only When You Have
Social Substitute, Says Pastor.

That ministers who think and
are honest in speech do not wish to
be hasty in dealing with the saloon
question, is evidenced with by the
following story from the Chicago
Examiner:
Opposing negative reform" and
declaring the saloons should not be
abolished without substitute pro-
viding for social activity, DR.. J. E.
Freeman of ST. Marks Episcopal
church of Minneapolis addressed
the Sunday Evening Club last night
on the subject of Wayfarers.
II am enthusiastically in favor
of the prohibition movement" he
said, but | am not in favor of
abolishing the saloon if you are not
prepared to offer any helpful SUBJ
stitute. | am tired of reform that
everlastingly says Don't, don't,
don't. God help the men of the
streets and the underpaid shop girls
when their only social centers are
swept away. Let's abolish the vile
dance halls and the other sinks of
iniquity, but let's give them some
thing better in return
Speaking of President, Wilson he
said:
''His best asset is his fxity of
faith in God. The only flag that
ever flies above the Stais and
Stripes is small blue flag with a
white cross. 1t tells that we are a
nation with faith.
81 thank God that we have at
the head of the nation man whose
state papers are not only expressed
in the finest language, but whose
and sentiments can pass
muster before the highest tests. |
He is no wayfarer."

OUR FIRST STREET LAMP.
1t Was Used In Front of John Cifton's
House In PhjIadelphia


A man who loves to delve In history
walked through the brilliantly lighted
streets of city to the public library
and spent the evening reading the
autobiography of Benjamin Franklin.
He was astounded to find therein a
description of the first street lamps
to be used in Philadelphia. and proba-
bly, in this country.
Writing of the year 1857, Franklin
says:
1T was by private person, the late
Mr.. John Clifton, giving sample Of
the utility of lamps by placing one at
his door, that the people were first i'm
pressed with the idea of lighting all
the city. The honor of this public
benefit has also been ascribed to me.
but it belongs truly to that gentleman.
II did but follow his example and
have only some merit to claim respect
ing the form of our lamps, as differing
from the globe lamps we were at first
supplied with from London. They were
found inconvenient in these respects:
They admit no air below; the smoke
therefore did not readily go out above,
but circulated in the globe, lodged on
its inside and soon obstructed the light
they were intended to afford. giving
besides the daily troubles of wiping
them clean, and an accident stroke ON
one of them would demolish 1t and
render it totally useless.
II therefore suggested the composing
them of four fiat panes, with long
funnel above to draw up the smoke,
and crevices admitting the air below
to facilitate the ascent of the smoke.
BY this means they were kept clean
and did not grow dark in few hours,
as the London lamps do, but continued
bright till morning, and an accidental
stroke would generally break but
single pane, easily repaired. Albany

Indiana is a composite of steel mills
and country clubs, factories and col
leges, promoters and professors, stock
breeders and Chautauqua attractions,
cornfields and campuses. 1t grows all
the crops and propaganda known to
the temperate zone.

him down to the traction depot.

Griffith. general organizer OF he
International Association of Ma
chinists, went to that city for the
purpose of ying to interest the
employees of the Hobart Manufac
turing company in joining the ma
chinists' anion.
He is an experienced organizer
and had on his person a goodly
number of application blanks.
He arrived at the plant of the
Hobart company during the fore
noon, looked the place over, soon
discovered that the management
would not tolerate any work by
him on the inside, and SO went out
in front.
He stationed himself on the pub
lie sidewalk in front of the EN-
ployes entrance to the plant He
took out of his pocket few appli-
cation blanks and began handing
one to each employe who entered.
1t was after the MONDAY rest
period, and the men came stringing
back from dinner in twos and
threes. To each of these Fred
passed an application blank with
word of cheer or a greeting.
There was no crowd around him
at any time. He was not blockad-
ing traffic; there was no traffic to
blockade. He was just tending to
his business and behaving in an or
derby manner.
But the effect on the machinisls
at Hobart was electrical. They
had been cowed down SO long and /
kept from even a right of talking
about organizing, that the reading
Of these applications to join the un-
ion was like new wine in their
veins.
Some Of them even dared to come
back to the entrance before the
whistle blew, and ask for another
blank.
