Col. Gardner Opens Campaign

palgn was made by Col. Fred II.
Gardner at Chillicothe Saturday
afternoon, and to say that he
had not only met the popular de-
mand for state government but
was entitled to be classed among
the best speakers in the state,
is conservative.
Col. Gardner more than fully
net the arguments against a
State Land Bank. He effectu-
ally put out of further consider
alton by any of the campaign
slogan of Judge Lamm. He told
the great gathering what he
would do, if elected, in connec-
ton with the business manage
ment of the affairs of the seper-
ate departments of the state SO

flee, he convinced all who heard
him that politics would cut no
figure whatever in his selection
of those it will be his preroga-
tive to appoint.
Hon. Jas. A. Reed also made a
speech which it would be worth
the while of every man and wo-
man in the state to hear as well
as the voters. Senator Reed
shows the effect of the strain
which has been on Congress for
months, but there is the same
old fire and logic in his speeches.
Senator Reeds specification of
the accomplishments of the Will
son administration and his analy-
sis of the campaign of Judge
Hughes are superb and conclu-
sive. He will effectually destroy
the criticisms of Judge Hughes
wherever he is heard.

Roosevelt in dumping or rather.
undertaking to pitch the entire
Progressive Party into the lap
of reactionary republicans that
he resigned his position on the
Court of Appeals bench and
went out to campaign for Will
son and the Democratic platform,
also spoke and if there is a Pro-
gressive who will not admit the
correctness of the position taken
by Judge Nortoni, that man was
not a Progressive. Together
with Col. Gardner and Senator
Reed, Judge Nortoni spoke at
Brookfeld Saturday night and
to such an immense audience as
indicated that the people of his
old county of Linn were more

HUGHES AS A SPEAKER

Girard, in the Philadelphia Public

Comments I heard around me at the

What a deep voice he has!"
Wonder why he wore sack coat?"
Glad he only refers to his notes &C.
casionally."
l have heard good many presidents
or presidential candidates speak-Blaine,
Cleveland, Harrison, Mckinley, Bryan.
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson. Mr.. Hughes
compares favorably with that exalted
coterie as stump speaker.
He is highly argumentative, as were
Blaine and Harrison. He is less incisive
than Roosevelt and not so rotundly ora
torical as Bryan and Mckinley.
President Wilson's style is the most
polished of all, the most precise in it's
correctness of diction.
But the President does not reach so
many snappy climaxes which command
cheers as did Blaine and Bryan. Some
OF Mr. Hughes sentences are very long.
He has no little affectations of speech
and does not, as so many public takers,
have a few pet words which he pro-
nounces differently from nearly every
body else. 1 like that.

Dearer than you there can be none;
Since in your laughing face see
Eyes that tell of another one.

What to you is the wind that blows.
Driving the sleet of the winter Storm
Round your head the rudy light
Glints on the gold from your tresses

But deep is the drifting snow tonight
Over the head of the other one.
Hold me close as you sagely stand, b
Watching the dying embers shine;
Then shall 1 feel another hand
That nestled once In this hand of mine.
Poor little hand so cold and chill,
Shut from the light of stars and sun.
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face Of the sleeping one.

Sorrow comes to us all. know;
Better perhaps for her to stay ~
Under the robe of drifting snow.
Sing while you may your baby songs,
Sing till your baby days are done;
But oh the ache of the heart that longs
Night and day for the other one.

south prides itself on many things, but,
most of all, 1t believes it's attitude to-
ward the negro to be inspired, to par
take of such wonderfully inscrutable
perfection that no man, especially If he
lives north of Mason and Dixon's line,
is wise enough to find flaw in it.
Some of the keenest and most con-
scientious editors of the nation have
ventured to suggest points here and there
where the situation might be improved,
but they are invariably reminded to keep
off of subjects which they could know
that the south will justify the supreme
reverence it shows for the course it has
selected. Let us hope it will ultimately
bring peace on earth and good will to-
ward black men and white men, and that
we can all go to heaven together, but
that Brother Charon will have foresight
enough to provide separate conveyances
across the River Styx."
The views of Life thus expressed, con-

RAILROAD SALARIES

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
There are 225 railroad presidents get
ting $4,000 year each. according to
THE Railway Employees Journal" 225
assistant presidents receiving $4,000, and
225 general managers who are paid D0,-
900 each, making a total of $32, 625, 900 in
salaries paid every year to these men,
Other officers, according to the same au-
thority, receive salaries of $S1,000.000 in
the aggregate, bringing the grand total
paid to the general officers up to the
sum of $S3.0OO,oOo
The railway employees and a large part
of the general public believe that these
figures are accurate. We have been told
that If the exorbitant salaries paid to the
railroad officials were reduced to rea-
sonable figure 1t would be possibly to
pay better wages to the men. The trou-
BILE with the figures quoted in the pre-
ceoing paragraph is that they are grossly
exaggerated. The correct figures can be
found in the reports Of the interstate
commerce commission. The total salaries
paid to the general officers of all the
railroads in the country In 1914. the latest
year for which statistics are available,
