G. 0. P. MYTH
Punctured As It Should Be--Super-
stltion As To Business Ability
Lacks Foundation
[st. Louis Republic. ]


Whence came the baseless super
stition that the Republican party was
the party of business ability and
management?
We do not care, at present, TO pre-
sent our views of this wonderful de-
lusion; we desire only to ask certain
questions and invite our readers with
out regard to political faith to an
swer them for themselves.
When the Democrats took over the
national Government after the Re
p pub lican domination extending
through well-nigh half a century,
what was the condition Of
Our customs tariff policy.
Our currency and banking system.
Our conservation policy.
Our laws for the regulation and
control of great corporations.
Our machinery for encouraging
foreign trade.
Our machinery for rural credits,
The business organization behind
our army.
The provision for an auxiliary fleet
for our navy.
The legislation affecting our mer-
chant marine.
These are the greatest business re-
sponsibility that rest upon modern
governments. What one of them has
been fairly and adequately met by the
Republicans? Where Is the evidence
any evidenCe-of business capacity
in the field of government on the part
of the Republican party? What his
tory-tariff, currency, conservation,
what you please--is there that is not
a history of incapacity, blindness and
"muddling along?"
And now go over the list again.
What has the Democracy, in three
short years, done with the weighty
matters there catalogued? What sort
of capacity has it displayed in dealing
with them? What are its deserts at
the hands of the nation, in conse-
quence? In the answer to this ques-
tion is to be found the secret of the
temper of the representatives of ma
tional Democracy.

HEROIC SELF SACRIFICE
LDaYton Herald. juno IN

dayton HERALD June Z 81
No citizen Of this country, be he
citizen or soldier, can read that des-
ert written message from Captain
Lewis S. Morey, commander OF Troop
/ X, Tenth Cavalry, without choke in
the throat and more than a thrill of
pride. Wounded in the treacherous
attack on his men at Carrizal, he
managed to escape TO what he calls
"hole" some two thousand yards
from the scene of the ambush with
one other wounded man and three
troopers.
They were without water; but
wounded and suffering as he was the
indomitable captain wrtOe a cipher
dispatch in the form of a letter on
crumpled paper, telling the story OF
the fight. After he mad finished the
communication the three troopers
started to carry him across the desert
to safety. But after they had carried
him fully two miles he realized he
must sacrifice himself or all would be
lost, and the precious dispatch would
never reach its destination. Then he
ordered the three men to leave him
They did so unwillingly and later
were found wandering almost dis
traught in the desert waste. They
could not tell with any dellniteness
where they had left the captain.
But the letter reached General
Funston and it is the one thing need
ed to fix beyond any chance of cavil
the fact that the CarriZal attack was
piece of Mexican treachery which
they hoped to turn into a massacre of
every man of Boyds command and
later developments show conclusive
ly that Trevino's act was sanctioned,
in fact ordered by Carranza himself.
Finally there is word after all that
Captain Morey has been saved for
from his wife at San Antonio word
was forwarded to General Funston
that she had received the following
wireless from her husband via Col
umbus, N. M:
Somewhere in Mexico. Am back
on the line with two men safe. Sid
ney."
Mrs. Morey added that in messag-
ing her, Captain Morey always uses
his middle name and this gives as
surance that he is safe.

HOT WEATHER RULES FOR YOUR
HORSE
Load lightly, drive slowly
Stop in the shade if possible.


Water your horse as often as pos
sible. So long as a horse is working
water in small quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only
a few swallows if he is going to stand
still. Do not fail to water him at
night after he has eaten his hay.
When he comes in after work
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth
and the dock. Wash his feet but not
his legs.
If the thermometer is rs degrees
o rhigher, wipe him all over with a
damp sponge. Use vinegar water if
possible. Do not turn the hose on
him.
Saturday night give a bran mash,
luke-warm, and add a tablespoonful
of saltpetre.
Do not use horse hat, unless it
is a canopy hat. The ordinary bell
shaped hat does more harm than it
does good.
A sponge on the top of the head, or
even a cloth, is good if kept wet If
dry it is worse than nothing.
If the horse is overcome by heat,
get, MN INTO Snaue, remove harness
and bride, wash out his mouth,
sponge him all over, shower his legs
and give him two ounces Of sweet
spirits of nitTe in a pint of water; or
give him pint of coffee warm Cool
his head at once, using cold water or
if necessary, chopped ice, wrapped in
a cloth.
If the horse is off his feeu try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with a
little bran, and some water, and add
a little salt or sugar. Ur give him
oatmeal Cruel or barley water to
drink.
Watch your horse closely If he
stops sweating suddenly, or If he
breathes short and quick, or ii his
ears droop, or if he stands with his
legs braced sideways, he is in danger
of heat or sun stroke and needs at
tention at once.
If it is so hot that the horse sweats
in the stable at night, tie him outside
with bedding under him. Unless he
cools off during the night, he cannot
well stand the next days heat.

ANOTHER PUNCH AT AUTO TAG
SCANDAL

The supreme court of Ohio has en-
tered ruling upholding Auditor of
State A. Vic Donahey in his refusal
to pay to senator A. c. Wickline, of
Akron, the $4,000 profit he had ar
ranged for in the auto tag deal with
Secretary of State w. G.. Hildebrant
1t will be remembered that the
automobile tag contract was let sep
arately by the secretary of state to
the company owned by Wickline with
out competitive bid, as required by
law. WicEline was 10 receive 19 Ia
cents per pair of tags He had NJ
factory to make the tags but subleU
the contract to a New York concern
for a cheaper tag at 5 cents per tag.
Phe auditor paid the New York COM
pany 5 cents direct and refused to
pay Wickline the 4 IA cents rake
of which for this year alone amount
ed to about $12, 600. Wickline then
brought action against DOnahey in
supreme court. Hildebrant was wit
ness, as was WiCklinn, The formers
testimony was cOntraGicted by an at
tache OF the attorney generals Office
and the latter admitted misstatement
under oath. On the law dnG the
facts of the unanimous finding Of the
supreme court directly cuts Wick
line out of his illegal profit and holds
Hildebrant up before the people in an
unenyiable light.

FLOOD OF GOLD INCREASING

Official figures of the department
of commerce for May showed a net
inward gold movement of over
SIS, 100000, thus reversing the con
ditions shown in the preceding three
months. Imports of gold in May ag-
gregated $27, 100000 compared with
gold exports of $12,0OO,0O0; and
gold imports of the twelve months
to May 81 amounted to $424,000,0 900
as against gold exports of $85, 5,000,-
600, a net inward movement for the
year Of $3.50, 100000 Last year gave
d net inward gold movement of $685.
100000 while two years ago there
was net outward gold movement of
nearly S2.0O0.000.

THE OHIO STATE FAIR

In 1915 the state treasury was hit
fof $4,000 to pay for the Joke
Boards mismanagement of the Ohio
state fair In 1916 this Joke Board
is to hit Ohio business men and the
home merchant. 1t has granted the
right to Sears-Roebuck, Chicago
Mail Order Octupus, to display ana
advertise at the next State Fair.
Thousands of dollars from the state
treasury will be spent to advertise
the fair and boost this mail order
business. Sears-RoeDuck can well
afford to make big campaign contri-
button to somebody for this valuable
privilege.
If the free pass curse is to con-
tinue; if the state treasury is TO be
looted; if the home merchant is to
be hit; if petty politics is to the
program the Joke Board and the
State Fair had better cease to exist.

There seems to be no reason for
thinking that the American people
will turn from Woodrow Wilson, for
whom they entertain profound res
pect, and to whom they feel themsel-
yes obligated for his safe and sane
policy which has preserved the coun-
try from war, and replace him with
Charles E. Hughes. 1t is impossible
to divine a cause for such course.
No claim can be established by the
adherents Of Hughes upon the high
est Office within the gift of the voters
and it cannot be shown that he is
needed in the executive chair for any
other purpose than to restore the Re-
Dublicans to o1ice.-San Francisco

The three steel mills in this section
the two in BenwOod and the one in
Bellaire are paying out about $780,
600 a month in direct wages, to en-
ployes in the mills. They are work
ing to the limit of their present cap
acity and have orders ahead for a
long time to come. Compare these
fatcs with conditions a few years ago
wher the big Riverside and the Bell
aire mill were nearly two years idle
and the lower Benwood mill was do
ing a catch as catch can business.
How about letting well enough alone.

The close of the first fiscal year of
the Willis administration will see a
treasurey balance of approximately
seven millions, about one million and
half dollars loss than at the end
of the fiscal year of the Cox admin
istration when Willis in his cam
paign charged there was treasury
deficit. Another significant parallel
is in the fact that CoXs last fiscal
year showed that he had earned three
million dollars than he had spent,
whereas for the first time in years
the Willis administration has spent
that sum more than il has received.
The state insurance fund has a
balance of nearly four million dol
lars, Notwithstanding the strenuous
efforts that were made to amend the
law of workmen's compensation in
compliance with campaign promises
The stability of this fund is estab,
lished and the strength of the law
is shown The workmen's compen-
sation statute is so well planned that
even in the hands OF its enemies its
effectiveness cannot be destroyed.

At a time when all classes of citi-
zens are expected to have an inter
est in their government there is
found malicious criticism of Presi-
dent Wilson that is far worse than
was the cOpperheadism of civil war
times. For example is a fragrant case
at Mansfield. There the Shield has
found il necessary to reprimand the
tone of an editorial i'm the News, from
which it takes this excerpt:
The namby-pamby, wishy-washy,
and molly-coddle policy Of the man
who sits in the chair once occupied
by real men, is enough to make the
American eagle come down and con-
sort with the pigs and chickens in the
barn-yard." "
This editorial is on par with an
expression in the speech Of Governor
Willis at the recent Republican state
convention, when he by inference
placed the blame for the death of the
soldiers at Carrizal upon the present
administration.
Some men are so partisan that they
cannot be fair citizens. The flag to
them does not mean the flag that
floats over every man, woman and
child in free America, but simply the
flag that floats over the party host.
To them the government is 'it' in
stead of I'VE"
