WHAT HAS HE DONE?

A number OF voters are saying that
II Is only fair to Willis to give him
another two years, not because he
has made good as governor but for
the sole reason that other Ohio exc
cutives have been given second
term. Fair minded Republicans are
laughing at this excuse for wanting
Willis for two more years, 1t is not
question of the time he has been
in the executive Office, but the issue
is, what has he done with his time
for the past two years? Has he de-
voted it to the betterment of the
state or has he used the states time
and money for his own selfish pur-
poses? Has he given the laboring
man his Just dues or has he thought
of him only when he wanted his vote?
Has he been for the liberals in one
end of the state and the dTys in an
other? What, in short, has Willis
done that would even justify his ex-
pectation that the party would CON
sent to give him a second term?
These are questions that deserve
careful, candid and sober considera-
ton. The people have a right to de-
mand of of their executives a full ac-
count of their stewardship Cincin-

CHANCE FOR MILITIA

The order of President Wilson call.
ing out the militia Of each state in
the union for service on the Mexican
border is not only timely but there
is a necessity of additional forces to
protect the states bordering on the
troublesome country, but most impor-
tant of all, it will give tine army Off
cials an idea of the strength and the
training of the national guard.
Although various estimates have
been made in regard to increasing the
units of Uncle Sans fighting forces
to a formidable size, so as to meet
with the preparedness scheme, this
has not been based ON definite know
ledge. However, with the national
guards and the regular army assem-
bled under one head, it will be poss-
ible to get the facts much easier and
with more reliability.
The training the militia will re-
ceive as a result of the order is an
other feature of much consequence.
During the time they are assembled
on the Mexican border they will be
subject TO conditions existing in war
which should be many times the val
ue of the annual summer camp held
by this body.-Lima Times-Demo-

PRESIDENT WILSON

The Democratic party goes before
the American people with candidate
whose wisdom and ability in a per-
iod of unparalleled storm and stress
entitle him to support in the name
of a patriotism which dwarfs all mar
row craftsmanship. His record of
achievement has won the applause of
his friends, the admiration of his po-
litical foes and the gratitude of a
nation at large.
He has given the country a curren-
ey system which on the eve of uni
versal upheaval enabled finance and
industry to stand unshaken. What
the conditions would have been under
Republican rule may easily be imag-
ined by recalling the disaster of 1907.
He has proved himself better pilot
in a storm than the Republicans in
an era of profound tranquility.
Under his guidance a Democratic
congress has written upon the stat
ute books a tariff law which has
brought prosperity t. every class of
American people. The familiar shib-
boleths of the Old Guard, the pro-
phecies of impending calamity have
become the butt of mockery and de-
rision in light of cold facts. The
noisy forecasts Of evil are drowned in
the song of the harvest and the hum
of the loom.
He has passed unsCathed through a
crisis in international affairs that
would hase scared the soul and para
lyzed the mind of a weaker charac-
ter. Charged with the welfare of
hundred million people, whose des-
tiny was exposed to the cross cur
rents which blew from the earth S
four corners, he has maintained the
peace while giving the world new
and inspiring vision of the moral
grandeur of the nation, jealous of its
honor, but devoted to the interests
of mankind.
In the highest sense he is the en-
bodiment of splendid Americanism.
The best traditions of the republic
are wrought into the very fibre of
his being He loves peace well
enough to fight for it, If need be- He
has made it doubly clear to all the
nations of the New and Old world
that the United States covets nothing
that is not legitimately its own.
In trying ordeals he has shown that

WHIPPLETREE CLAMP FREES
FRIGHTENED HORSE

For the benit Of poor and medi-
ocTe drivers of spirited horses a
Canadian inventor has invented a de-
vice which permits the occupant Of
buggy to release a frightened ami
NAL in case he loses control of it,
The contrivance consists of a clamp
which is bolted to tbe cross bar of
the shafts and holds to the whipple-
tree. This is gripped rigidly by the
spIiglocked arm of the releaser. The
latter is mounted so that it swivels
and allows the single tree to oscil-
late properly. A cord attached to
lever handles, with which the device
vice may be locked o. unlocked, eX-
tends to the dash. In case of neces-
sity the horse may be freed from
the buggy by pulling upon the cord.
The action causes tAe arm gripping
the Whipletree to be raised thus re-
leasing it from the cross bar. The
horse is so harnesseG that the strap
slips over the ends of the shafts as
it jumps out of thoni, carrying all Of
the harness and singletree.-POp

THR oRLINA DEAloORAT
YOUNG AND FAITHFUL HEART

The pathetic figure of the Progress
siYe party is John M. Parker. AS the
battered hulk went down, somebody
had to be the boy on the burning
deck, Theodore, the captain, wig
wagged from Sycamore HILL The
crew sang and shreiked. Hiram John
son took to boat and it is not record
ed that he said Women and child
rem first!" Vic Murdock's poll shone
luridly, but he managed TO escape.
This is permanent party!" yelled
the Louisiana lad and as he looked
at II that way, the convention left
him in sole custody of its perma-
nence.
THE boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but him had fled;
The flames that lit the battle wreck
Shone round hi mo'er the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
AS born to rule the storm
A creature of heroic blood
A proud though childlike form.
THE flames rolled on-he would not
go
Without his fathers word

the American people ask nothing and
concede nothing, except to work out
their own destiny under the free in
stitutlons which are their particular
heritage.
But with Il all, the candidate of the
Democratic party is no visionary,
cropping In cloud-land. He is astir In
a world of realities. He has taken
measures which insure the safety of
his country. If, out of this wallet of
war, this riot of mad passions. should
come a menace to liberty, peace and
prosperity we enjoy. the forces he
has marshalled with an unvaunting
but determined efficiency will be
ready at hand, waiting only to be
quckened into action by the word Of
command.
Strong, alert, tried and approved
by experience he won the confidence
of the people and this will be their
verdict at the polls.

FACE THh TRUTH

By force of habit, doubtless, the
theory seems to survive among many
Republican spokesmen that President
Wilson's administration can be dis
credited by misrepresentation. One
evidence lies in the effort being made
to arouse sentiment in the business
community by dwelling in every ad-
vertising medium they can reach up
on the Underwood tariff law notwith-
standing the European war The ef-
fort is bound to fail for the very sim
pie reason-the facts riddle it.
In their tariff publicity the Re-
publican partisans ignore the enOr-
nous increases of exports because
these show the unpI ecedented pros
perity of the country. Also they do
not analyZe the imports. If they did
both, they would discover the in
crease of imports is wholly due to
the fact that the u. S. is drawing up
on all parts of the earth to secure
the materials from which to manu-
facture the vast quantities of supplies
of all sorts which other nations, both
belligerents and neutrals, need at
this time. Huge though it be, the
domestic supply of many Of these
raw materials is not adequate to sup
ply the demand, and hence foreign
raw materials are being brought in
to augment the domestic supply.
That such is the situation clearly
appears from new statistics on the
subject issued by the Department of
Commerce. By reducing or remov-
ing entirely the tariffs on many es-
sential raw materials the Underwood
Tariff Act greatly aided American
manufacturers in meeting the new
foreign demands upon them. Thus
millions upon millions of dollars have
been drawn into this country in pay
ment of the service rendered by Am
erican labor and capital in manufac-
turing these imported raw materials
into articles desperately needed by
the outside world.
The conclusion business men will
draw is obvious: The tariff should
not be changed unless conditions
change, and then should be readjust-
ed only upon the advice of experts
The latter contingency is provided
against by President Wilson's recon-
mendation Of the creation of tariff
commission.

SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

! Considerably more than year has
elapsed since the state legislature
passed law authorizing the erection
of million dollar Office building for
the state. The building was to be
| erected with funds derived as inter
est on the surplus in the state treas
ury. Governor Willia appointed a
building commission, having first ap-
proved the bill, and in turn the com
mission employed secretary and fix
ed his salary. To date not a brick
has been laid, not even the site has
been selected. The state is still pay
ing out rentals to owners of private
buildings. One such owner has a
leasehold calling for a neat sum year
ly and not foot of space is Occu-
pied.
1t is unnecessary to recall what
everyone now knows, but that the
present attempt to fool the people
may be known, the old fraud is re-
ferred to. There was a huge surplus
instead of the deficit as Willis as a
candidate charged. The need for an
offices building for the Offices he con-
demned as unnecessary was found to
be real, and when on May 12, 1915,
he signed the Office building bill, he
officially admitted the falsity of his
loud campaign claims.
Now the building is being delayed.
1t will not be undertaken until after
the annual auditors report has been
made. The reason for this is in the
fact that Governor Willis, for the
first time in many years, has made it
necessary for the state to spend more
money than it receives. The present
administration will exceed the cost of
it's predecessor by three million dol
lars, and the preceding administra-
tion, following good business princi-
pies, staid within its income. Money
to be expended but not expended
counts on the cash balance, dwind-
ling, but still sizeable Governor
Willis does not want to face in fact
what in falsity he charged against
his predecessor, namely a treasury
deficit. So the building fund is being
held. The road receipts are being
held and and other funds are being
held. The automobile tag receipts,
pledged for repair, are unappropri-
ated. But the people should not be
fooled in the least The Willis Leg
islature was made to appropriate all
balances. Watch the money fly af-
ter Vic Donahey's report is in the
clear, and the campaign is advanced!
And remember this: and administra-
tion which spends more money than
it receives is in bad hands; one that
spends more than its predecessor,
when promising economy, is dishon-
est.

DEMOCRACY RESTORES U. S.
FLAG TO SEAS

During fifty years of Democratic
freedom of the seas following Thorn
as Jefferson, 80 per cent of American
commerce was cerried on in Ameri-
can ships. During fifty years of Re-
publican high tariff and hide-bound
sea traffic, our merchant marine
dwindled until only per cent OF
American commerce was carried in
American bottoms. Under the Demo-
cratic ship registry act of 1914, both
the number of merchantmen carry
ing the American flag and the percen-
tage of commerce carried in Ameri-
can bottoms have been more than
doubled. Moreover, under Demo-
cratic tariff and shipping laws, the
United States in 1916 has become
both the leading commercial nation
and the leading ship building coun-
try of the earth. All this country
required the facts show, was to cut
loose from it's Republican swaddlihg
clothes.

WHY HUGHES ABOVE WILSON
New York Times. !

All these uncertainties pretain on
ly to the nomination. Back OF them
lies the graver question Of the cleo
tion. Why should this country pre-
fer Mr.. Hughes to Mr.. Wilson? In
all the discussion OF the elements OF
his availability and strength, in all
that has been said about the demand
of the people for his nomination,
there has been no information youch-
safed on that point. If there is any
reason on earth why the American
people should expect a better admin
istration OF their domestic affairs or
a wiser guidance in their foreign re-
lations from Mr. Hughes than from
Mr.. Wilson, ii has thus far escaped
disclosure.
Mr.. Hughes public record" is be-
fore the people. They have the meas
ure of the man, of his attainments
ana abilities, his powers and his
judgment. All that is known of him
thus far would not carry MIN to an
electoral triumph owe such a candi-
date as Mr.. Wilson. Can it be believ-
ed that this presumptive candidate,
of whose views upon the very gray
and important issues of the day no
body knows anything at all, will be
able by sudden proclamation to win
the confidence and support of ma
jority of the voters and capture the
election? If the Republicans are not
merely going through the customary
motions with no hope of triumph,
that would seem to be their theory
in the nomination of Justice Hughes.

PROGREssWEs ARE THINKING

[Brainbridge Colby, in the New York
World.
1t is easier to get excited about a
subject that to think about it, and
the PrOgressives propose to do little
thinking and leave the tantrums to
others.
Among other things they desire to
to do justice to a president who has
been called upon to grapple with
problems almost beyond human fac
ulty and who has endured with un-
finching steadiness a volume of crit
icism which has no parallel in our
history since LincOln's time.
We recall the answer of Lincoln to
the cry in 1864 that his Administra-
tion was merely stumbling along"
1T may be true" said Lincoln,
but please God, we are stumbling in
the right direction"
If the president has stumbled, has
it been in the right direction?
This is worthy Of d little reflection
and the Progressiyes are thinking.
