Developments. ownersbin If the
average citizen happens to live in the

water power exists. he is likely to look
on the government as surly owner

possibilities nor permit others to make
use of them. If he lives in the east.
on the other hand. it is probable that
he looks on the ownership as that of
the careful head of a great household
who does not wish to risk his estate
until conditions may be brought about
that will safeguard the interests of
all concerned. There the issue usually
rests and few citizens in any part of
the country realize that the govern
ment actually has harnessed a number
of streams; and that by the sale of
cheap power to thousands of persons
in town and country in certain parts
of the west it has brought about. at
least on a small scale. a development
in the use of electricity in daily life
that many prophets of science have
placed century in the future.

Residents in towns in the same neigh

FORCED TO
LEAVE Home
And Take Refuge In The
Barn Is Charge
Of Rosie Rice In Her Action
For Divorce
Other Items Of Interest From
The Court House

Rosie Rice has brought divorce
action in common pleas against her
husband, Ephriam B. Rice.
She states they were married on
Nov. 4, 1887, and that one child, Mrs.
j. G. Hall, was born to them.
She charges that the defendant has
been guilty of extreme cruelty toward
her for more than ten years by calling
her vile names and threatening to
beat her, for which reason she was,
in June, 1915, and on other occasions
compelled to flee from their home in
Buckeye City and take refuge In their
barn and the homes of nelghbors.
She also charges that the drunken
ness of defendant, extending over a
period of five years, has forced her to
take the responsibility of manage.
ment of their store in Buckeye City.
Again, she alleges Illicit relations
on the part of defendant with one
Sarah Shumaker on numerous occa-
sions. On her discovery of this,
plaintiff states she refused to remain
with defendant any longer.
She states that defendant owns GER
tificates of deposit in the Knox Coun-
ty Savings Bank and the Danville
Bank amounting to $4,000 out of
which she asks reasonable alimony.
An order restraining defendant from
disposing of these is sought. A. j.
Workman is her attorney.

Resolutions Of Respect. Obituaries and

Members of the Ohio delegation at
the Republican national convention
.belittled efforts of Progressives there
at the same time At the meeting for
organization at which Governor Will
lis was selected chairman, Bull Moose
efforts were referred to as a monu-
mental bluff on the part Of those who
had no right to dictate anything. In
the course of the convention many of
the so-called Progressive leaders
came in for scoring, and it was noted
that there was much reference to
Harry Daugherty's statement about
the right of men to ask preferment
only when 1t was known they had
been right in 1912. OF course there
was no reference to Myron T. Her
rick, who, like Willis, took no part
in the fight of that memorable year,
but this is a reminder.
Then some one pulled an Ohio ros.
ter Of ofiice-holders to offer as mute
evidence that the Ohio Bull Moose
was only a memory in the mind of
Ghe present state administration. In
spection OF the pages of the long list
of ofiice-holders, longer this year than
ever before in the history of the
state, shows only two state officials
credited to the Progressives. They
are Professor George II. Twiss, in.
spector Of high schools in the depart
lment Of public instruction, and John
w. Graham, engineer in the state
highway department. One county
has three Bull Moose local officials
and one county has representative
who is Progressive. In all counties
where appointive changes were made
Governor Willis named old guard Re
publicans to succeed those who fol
lowed the Great Noise four years ago.
