WHY?

The Banner, at the time of Willis
appearance here as main speaker at
the Lincoln Day banquet, asked the fol
lowing questions:
Why has efficiency been sacrificed
in civil service appointments in order
to pay political debts?
What has been so superior about
the Willis administration as to be so
infinitely more expensive than the ad-
ministraton of Cox?
Why, in view of Willis alleged de-
testation of political machines, have
designations of efficient men been fore
ed on all sides?
Why was a lawyer appointed head
of department of which he had no
knowledge and then allowed to remain
there after disgraceful debauch?
Why have taxes been increased dur
ing the misadministration rather than
sent downward?
In what respects, if any, has the
government been treated with that
vague remedy, decentralization?
Why did not the governor take the
stump for his pet, defeated measures,
the Sprague congressional gerryman-
der and the McDermott license law?
Why, If efficiency in administration
were sought, was the following allowed
to occur: eleven of the twenty depu-
ty inspectors of work shops and fac
tories holding provisional appoint
ments dropped because of failure to
pass examinations; five appointees dis
missed in the secretary of states of
flee because of lack of qualification /;
seven inspectors in the dairy and food
department dropped because of failure
to pass examinations and qualify for
their positions?
To these it now adds;
Why, if Willis typifed true econo
my in the conduct of the business ot
the state, did the treasury in June
show the smallest balance it has evel
, known?
Why did Willis show the passage Of
taxation law which gave boards o.
revision power to increase arbitrarily
taxation valuations?
Why, if officers outside of the state
! house were such an evil, did Willis
5 sign law authorizing the purchase O
Columbus sky-scraper for this yer!
purpose?
Lastly, why, in view of the plethori
of promises made the people in hi
campaign of 1914, has Willis failed alb
solutely to produce one single bit o
4 constructive work to show for his tw,
years as governor?
Has Gov Willis answered thes
r questions satisfactorily? Did he in hi
/ speech at the county fair Friday Civ
a convincing reply to any one of tn
above queries?
/ If he has not or did not, then WHY
Mr.. Voter, should You cast your ballo
for him in November?

Mexico City, Sept. 16-The compar-
ative tranquility now prevailing in
Mexico was reflected today in the
popular celebration of the national
holiday. which was observed with
more enthusiasm than has marked the
occasion for several years. The day
is the 107th anniversary of Mexican
independence. Business houses and
residences in the capital were deco
rated on an elaborate scale, and large
crowds congregated in the parks to
listen to the band concerts. The Gus
tomary civic parade was held and was
reviewed by President Carranza and
other prominent representatives OF

urging the enactment of tariff law

American voters scotched the first
whack they had at it. The speech was
deemed of so little interest and i'm

THE MAINE ELECTION

Neither Democrats nor Republicans
have much to brag about in the results
0f the Maine election.
II was inevitable that Maine would
20 Republican. What was in question
was the size of the majority and the
Republican majority is anything but
decisive.
II Maine is barometer of the ma.
tlonRl election, the national election
is still on the knees of the gods.
In 1912 the combined Taft-Roose-
velt vote exceeded the Wilson vote
by 23,925, although Mr.. Wilson car
Tied the state by scanty plurality of
$500, as result of the Republican
split. In 1914 the Democratic candi-
Date for governor had plurality of
1,117 over his Republican rival, al
though the Republican-Progressi
vote exceeded the Democratic vote by
15,048.
Disregarding the former heavy Re
publican majorities in Maine, 1t is
plain that the Democrats have OBJ
tanned percentage of the Progress
I've vote which, If they can hold it, is
large enough to turn the scale in the
national election. They ought to be
able to hold it, for in no other state
was the Progressive party more large
lY the product of Mr.. Roosevelts per-
sonal popularity.
II the Democrats gained even 20
per cent of the Progressive vote in
Maine, Notwithstanding the appeals
OF both Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Roose-
velt, they ought to gain a far larger
percentage in the middle western
states where the Progressive party
was born of principles and mot of per
sonal popularity.
The chief national significance of
the Maine election lay in its revela-
tiOn of the new alignment of the Pro
grsssive vote. If that vote returned
solidly to the Republican party, the
Democratic outlook was necessarily
reasonable share of it and held dowr
the Republican majorties, they coult
naturally look for still greater results
In the middle west. In this eXpecta
tion they have not been disappointed
The Republican majorities in Maine
are much smaller than the Republican

they are larger than the Democratic

state treasury under Cox. He never
spoke of the low balance in the trea.
sury last June These were things
upon which a number of people in the
crowd sought enlightenment.
Willis completely ignored the taxa.
tion question. Numerous people were
anxious to hear Willis side of the re-
cent board of revision scandal, when
thousands of dollars were arbitrarily
added to the taxation valuations of
Franklin county property owners,
without the hearing of one complaint,
and acting directly under the provis-
sions of the Jaw. Willis never alluded
to this, although Republican polite
ians of Knox county would have given
anything had he given them some
flimsy ground to make stand against
the hurtful truth of this scandal.
Willis followed completely the lead
Of his worthy superior, G. E. Hughes,
candidate for president, in declaiming
against the Wilson administration and
never stating what the Republican
party would have done had it been in
control The national stuff fell fiat.
Willis told of the liquidating ex-
pense in the banking department un-
der Cox, and alleged that this partic.
ular department, under him, had been
conducted more economically, but he
failed to tell how many banks were
liquidated under Cox and how many
under him-a very important consid
Grafton for fair comparison.
All in all, the speech cannot be
characterized so much for what was
said, as for what was Intentionally
avoided or left unsaid.
The startling information was given
out that the Willis administration was
carrying out the workman's compen
sation law.

of more effectively leading the rootins

SCHOOL NOTES
By Benjamin W. Rawlins

Chapel exercises were held Monday,
Sept. IL. At this time, Principal
Rimer gave a short talk to the Fresh
men and made few announcements.
Prof. Chubb also made an announce
ment concerning the music for the
coming year.
Walter Sapp and Russell Ewalt
were chapel visitors Monday.
Miss Olive Black was high school
visitor Thursday. Miss Black, who
graduated last June, is teaching school
at Mt. Liberty.
Work throughout the schools is
picking up nicely and everything is
just about normal. Halliday sessions
are being held at the Fourth ward,
that is, one set of pupils goes in the
morning and the balance from that
district in the afternoon. This crowd
ed condition is due to the fact that
the new west side school is not fin
ished. 1t is hoped that the building
will be ready for occupancy within a
week. This will relieve the crowded
condition and make for better efiic-
iency.
At the teachers meeting Monday
evening the following question was
brought up for discussion: What
can we all do to make the schools of
Mt. Vernon better?" There was a
nice response from number of the
teachers and without doubt the dis
cussion was valuable to all. 1t was
| decided also that a little later on they
would take up for study some book OF
the Ohio Teachers Reading circle.
Supt. Zemer also read a letter from
Kent state normal regarding eXten
sion work. In the past, some twenty
teachers have been taking this work
