government, and to the dismay of his
associates opposed the appropriation
of funds to carry on the war. His
contention was that it was a presi-
dents and not a peoples war The
phrase which he coined is one Of the
memorable utterances of Buckeye Or
atory.

would tell you: Have you not room
in your own country to bury your
dead men? If you come into mine,
we will greet you with bloody hands
and welcome you to hospitable
graves.
For this speech it was demanded
that Corwin be impeached, and there
were demands that he resign, but
the Ohio General Assembly refused to
take such action and the judiciary
committee of the senate said that his
course "has in no degree lessened
him in the esteem of the state he rep
resents but the implicit confidence in
his craftsmanship, his moral integri-
ty, his pure patriotism, his true
loyalty to the union and the state of
Ohio, which was evinced by his cleo
ton remains unimpaired and unfal-
tering

trary, free territory was added and

DISTINCT ROAD LEVIES
DECLARED NECESSARY

In order to protect the good road
interests of a county it is practically
necessary says the Ohio Good Roads
Federation in a bulletin which has
just been issued to the county Off
cials, for the board OF county com
missioners to provide three distinct
county road levies. This is due to
the rather peculiar provisions of the
Cass Highway law, founded upon the
suggestion that construction and
maintenance be kept separate and
apart.
If any of the three levies are neg
lected il may cause trouble in coop
Grating with the State Highway
maintenance and repair OF roads,
This does not necessarily mean that
the county's levies must be large, but
that three distinct funds must be ere
ated There are two levies which are
strictly county affairs but a third is
that which furnishes the funds for
the county to cooperate with the
state
For the purpose of paying the
county's share of the cost of con-
structing, improving, maintaining,
dragging and repairing roads by the
county commissioners levies may be
made under Section 105 of the Cass
Law, which is known as Section 1926
of the General Code. The Commits
sioners may also levy under Section
238 of the Cass Law, known as Sec
tion 6956-1 of the General Code
While levies may be made under both
sections, it is mandatory to raise a
maintenance fund of at least $40 a
mile.
Under Section 215 of the Cass Law
or Section 1922 of the General Code,
the levy is made to enable the coun-
ty to cooperate with the state The
safest plan for the counties is to avail
themselves of the power given by all
three sections, says the good roads
federation, in urging that next years
road program be the greatest in the
history of the state.

INTERESTING
Parallel Pointed Out i'm Condition of

That history repeats itself is prov
ed anew in comparing events that fol-
lowed the call for troops in the first
Mexican war with the events that are
now in course of development in the
state. Insofar as Ohio is concerned,
the best historical Information points
out more than interesting parallel.
Then recruiting was slow, partic-
ularly during the period Immediate
| ly following the call for troops. The
long list Of grievances against MeXi-
co, printed then, sounds strangely
familiar when compared with those
now being printed Then there were
people who despaired of the state
being able or willing to meet its
quota of troops called even as that
same dismal forboding has been
heard during recent days in the
state.
History tells of almost limitless
criticism of the president for permit
ting in patience the long continued
outrages and insults that were offer
ed this country and history also tells
of the abundance of abuse that was
heaped on the president when with
patience exhausted the resort TO

followed. The histories tell how the
Wings made open opposition to the
prosecution of the war, and siren
uously opposed every war step and
measure.

Trees and Man.

LAS far as possible, all of us demand
trees about our dwellings, for their
shade, we say, or their charm, their
protection, their architectural value.
But at bottom, | believe, all our rea-
sons are the same; we demand trees
about our dwellings because deep
within us-deep perhaps, as the pri-
NAL instincts of the race-is great
and trustful affection humorously akin
to the dogs trust in the table beneath
which he lies, whether to escape the
heat of summer or the Fourth Of July
fire-crackers. For all the centuries Of
upward development, for all our tall
cities and snug dwellings, we are close
to the ancient mother still. Go out
some day into the wild places, let
night come on, or storm, and see
how you turn like a homing bird to
the shelter of the hemlock thicket!
Even on my own little place Of few
acres there is a grove of pines near
the house, murmurous like the sea,
and beside it three gnarled old apple
trees which put green roof over that
bit Of lawn; and to them l return
dozen times day out of the sunshine
or the moonlight on the garden, as a
man returns to the welcome of his
roof and hearth. Walter Prichard

Hazard and Helen encountered no
trouble in gaining admittance to the
house, though they were informed by
the maid who let them in that the cap
tain was so overcome with grief that
he had shut himself in his room and
denied himself to all callers. Plainly

have required a regiment of them to
keep up so snowy home.
The house was built upon a gener-
GUS scale. The walls were adorned
with all sorts of barbara instruments
of warfare and of the chase. There
was more than one magnificent tiger
and lion skin upon the polished
floors, besides the skins of numerous
other beasts that Hazard did not
