SUPPORTING THE REVENUE BILL

Referring to the Republican op-
position to the new revenue bill (all
the Republican congressman from
Ohio except Longworth voting against
it, the Springfield Republican has
this to say:
How the Republicans could have
financed military preparedness with
out other revenue than that raised
by a high protective tariff and the
long established internal revenue tax
es is a mystery. They would not have
resorted to bond issues, of course. A
protective tariff is not necessarily
good revenue producer because the
duties are levied for protective rath-
er than revenue purposes. Some dut-
les in order to be protective need to
be so high that they are prohibitive
in effect and yield virtually no rev.
enue whatever. 1t is no nonsense,
therefore to assume that tariff
would meet the governments finan-
cial needs simply because it was pro-
tective i'm character The civil war
experience was a sufficient demon
stratiOn of that elementary truth.
The Republican takes a common
sense view of this matter. Mr.. Long
worth too kthe right stand in favor
ing this bill He rose above the par
ty Wow and stood patrlotically for
the measure, lie honored his consti-
tuents by his stand Our quotation
from the Republican is complete
defense Of his action.-Ohio State

UTAH MOOSE LEADER SPEAKS
FOR WILSON

Hugh A. Mcmillan, acting state
chairman of the Utah Progressive
party, believes chat the Utah NOM
bers of the party VIII refuse to fol-
low Roosevelt into the Hughes camp.
Speaking OF the action taken at Chi
cago, he said:
I'm my opinion the Progressives of
Utah will emphatically decline to fol-
low leadership which has rerudiat-
ed the principles which gave birth
to the organization, viz, opposition to
the country by a crowd of self-inter-
ested plutocrats, whose every action
denies the cardinal principle Of equal
opportunity,
"For myself, believing that MIR.

ing his ear to the ground listening TO

still fare genius of being responsible

WILL OPEN SOMEBODY'S EYES, ANY.
HOW

Since Rudy w. Mack, the dry repub-
lfcan candidate for governor, and Rev
Il. B. Campbell, the dry guide of the VIII
lis administration and political and civil
service manipulation, have been hurting
verbal brick bats at each other, the facts
about that deal in Cincinnati are be
coming as plain mud.
The appearance is that Mack is telling
the truth Campbell acknowledges that
things changed after ] had my confer
enCe with wet leaders," Mack does not
know what happened but he says that inn
mediately after the election Of Willis
things IOoSened up in Cincinnati and that
the Willis agents began playing for the
wet vote in wet communities The lax
ity of license in large centers is visible to
all observers
Mack has no chance Of getting very far
politically in his effort The deal in Chi
cago, where the Burton cruiser was sub
marined by Cincinnatis Ut after Willis
had boasted that he was proud to have
had chance to vote for Rud Hynicka
who commanded the Cox submersible,
shows where Mack will land
Candidate Rudy w. Mack probably will
not be given the chance to do his bOasted
cleaning up of Cincinnati. He won't gel
past the first lie defense. But he is caus-
ing unrest and revolt II opposing forces.
He is showing more strength and great
er ability than opponents thought he pos
sessed three months ago. His attack will
break some lines,

of mis- high standing as citizen, his
fine ability as lawyer, and his emil
nent fitness for the bench"
Upon the announcement of his can
didacy few days, the Marion news
papers spoke in glowing terms Of Mr..
Guthery's qualifications.
The Marion Tribune, Democratic,
said in part: Years of industry have
brought to him nigh attainment in
his profession and in recognition OF
his scholarly ability, those with whom
he is most closely associated, the
members of the Marion county bar,
unanimously endorse MIN for the Of
fee which he seeks"
The Marion Star, Republican, stat
ed: "Mr. Cutlery began the practice
of law at Marion twenty-five years
ago, and for many years has been
recognized as one of the ablest law
yers in this section of the state He
was an unusually capable and CON
scientious prosecuting attorney for a
period Of eight years. His age, his
many years of practice and expert
ence at the bar, his firm grasp of legal
principles and broad knowledge of the
law, and his high standing as citi
zen, make him eminently fitted for
this position on the bench"

WILSON TO ourRUN PARTY


According to the New York Trib-
une, quoting some unnamed inform
anu, apparently its own editor, there
are going to be more Independent
voters this year than ever before and
most of them will support Wilson in
preference to Hughes This prophet
further says:
Il am willing to bet that when the
votes are countd, it will be found that
Mr.. Wilson has run far beyond the
usual party vote almost all over the
country, and that he will carry some
of the following states and prove that
all We're doubtful: Ohio, California.
Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska,
South Dakota and perhaps even Kan
sas, Massachusetts and Oregon"
The enthusiasm with which such
Roosevelt papers as the Tribune and
the Kansas City Star are booming
Hughes is wonderful. They mention
his name editorially perhaps as often
as once a week.

LAME DUCK WILLIS AND CARE OF
MILITIA

In effort to gain political advantage
from mobilization at Columbus, Governor
Willis let himself in for some very severe
criticism. This, from the Newark Ad-
Nocate, is a sample:
Two items OF interest from Columbus
are calculated to make the light minded
smile and the judicious TO grieye.
"One of these items relates the voCitcr-
Gus demand of Governor Willis on the
War Department that sleeping ears be
furnished the Ohio troops when, If ever
they are ordered TO the border
The other of these items states that
Col Hunter, of the regular army, sent
to inspect camp willis, found that whole
companies and regiments of these same
troops fed on mouldy bread and other
unfit food
THE purchase of food and its inspec-
ton has, ever since the establishment
of Camp Willis, been under the control
of the Executive Department of the State
of Ohio and il would seem that our good
young governor would do well to remove
the existing beam from his own eye be-
fore he busies himself about the mote
that may at some future time exist i'm
the eve Of the War Department.
"All those who enter the military SER
vice necessarily have TO suffer some hard
ships and Inconvenience arising from the
eNtinEinCics Of the service ad probably
expect to do so, but they do OF expect to

"Sleepug cars are great COnNCnienCes
and comforts and we hope that il may
be possible for our state troops to be
moved in them TO the border, but no
ones life or health is likely to be destroy
ed by making the trip in day coaches if
fAt. FaF In
food is liable to be serious TO both life
and health.
1T is a disgrace to the State of Ohio
that it is necessary for the regular army
officers to intervene and protect our own
state roops, i'm our own state camp, un-
der the control of our own state author
ities from suffering all he outrages of
Camp Citgar and ChiCkamauga in 1898,
which caused permanent loss of health
and untmeiy deaths OF the most promis-
ing young men of the nation"

FORCE WRONG WAY TO HELP MEX.
ICo, SAYS PRESIDENT

hear some gentlemen say that they
want to help Mexico and the way they
propose to help her is to overwhelm
her with force. That is the wrong
way to help Mexico as well as the long
way, Because, after the fighting, you
have a nation full of justifid suspicion
and animated by well founded hos
tility and hatred-and then will you
help them2 On the contrary, you will
have shut every door, as if it were Of
steel, against you. What makes Mex
leo suspicious of us is that she does
not believe as yet that we want to
serve her. She believes that we want
to possess her and she has justification
for the belief in the way in which
some of our fellow citizens have tried
to exploit her privileges and posses
sions.-F'rom the Presidents speech

T. r.. NEVER REAL PROGRESSIVE
TFrom the Boston Post. J

From the Boston Post.
In his letter handing the Progress
i've party over to the Republicans,
,ol Roosevelt said:
Before speaking of anything
else, | wish to express my heart
lest and most unstinted admira-.
ton for the character and SER
vices Of the men and women who
made up the Progressive nation
al convention in 1916. The plat
form put for tn in 1912 was
much the most important pub
tic document promulgated in
this country since the death of
Abraham Lincoln"
The comparison g not happy. If
these principles were the most impOr-
tant promulgated since Lincoln, why
were they surrendered? What would
the Republican party have been had
it given up the ghost after its defeat
in 1856?
We incline to the opinion of the
New York Tribune, recently express
ed, a Roosevelt supporter, that the
Colonel never was a real Progressive
but was merely a republican with a
grievance"

We hope but do not expect to hear
Messrs. Hughes and Fairbanks frank
ly stale whether they favor repeal Of
the income tax, repeal of the Federal
Reserve Act, repeal of the Trade
Commission Act, repeal of the Clay
ton antitrust act, repeal of the Rur-
al Credits Act Anu more than this
we desire, but do not anticipate a
clear declaration whether they adyo-

Germany or both, which Wilson has
avoided, or prefer peace with honor,

Honor has again come to Ohio in the
selection of Judge John II. Clarke as an
Associate Justice in the United States
Supreme Court. No better appointment
has been made by any president. BY this
act President Wilson has called to the
highest tribunal man fitted in every way
for service. The high court gains a jus
tice who viii grace the bench he occu-
pies by his natural dignity, his judicial
ability and his breadth of mind.
The new justice has long been popular
in Ohio. In Youngstown, where he first
became publicly known, they are proud
Of him. In Cleveland where he presided
over the federal court, he has added to
his prestige Honor to him makes all
