C. OF c. NOTES
(By Secretary Koons.l

Some folks have the idea that
chamber of commerce should go out
into the commercial highways and by
ways, pick up few half-millian-dol-
lar industries and set them down in
their community. This Is one great
big mistake, for all other things being
equal, with good labor, sanitary ship
ping, and social conditions, If the
community has any especial features
which are a necessity to one sort
of industry or another, then the in
dustry is bound to seek the comnun-
ity, instead of the community hunting
for the industry. We have been
long time learning this, but the know
ledge is at last sinking in. Would it
not be well to turn our attention to
the development of the good things
that are already here?
If we are to turn our attention to
the development of things at home, it
is mighty important that we remem-
ber that this is as much as anything
else a rich and prosperous farming
community. Il is also something of a
manufacturing community, but as we
see 1t, the latter is true not because
of any special aptitude or geological
situation, but by mere chance. In
this connection let MS say that we are
mighty glad that Knox county farmers
are taking a big interest In learning
and developing better farming meth
ods. 1t is true that the growth is
slow, and 1t will continue to be so just
as long as competition between farm
ers is insignificant. The trip Of some
ITS farmers OF Knox county to the
Wooster experiment farm indicates
that our community is alive to the
need and opportunity of better farm
ing, and 1t is our earnest wish to do
everything we can to encourage this
movement. To that end, we invite
suggestions from every citizen, es-
| pecially from our farmers. The pros
perity of our farmers, as we'll as our
manufacturers, determines the pros
perity and happiness of every man,
woman and child in the county.
1t was at one time proposed that we
establish q credit rating bureau, which
was mighty good idea. For some
cause which we cannot learn but lit
tie work has been done along this
line. 1t can be and should at once be
pushed to a successful conclusion. Al
first, it might seem that this is aimed
at the poor man, but this is not true
The custom of buying on credit is q
detriment to every class-the mer
chant who loses, the customer who
pays for cash, and the poor man who
purchases what he should not anc

1914 Campaign Promises

Will Voters Pay Fuel Bill
For Willis's Imported
Machine?

"The old state is going on all right
and efficiency and economy rule down
at Columbus, instead of extravaganza
and self-centered ambition" says
Ayers P. Velvet in the Republican.
State Auditor Vic Donahey and the
ofncial financial figures Of the Willis
1916 year say different. Which tells
the truth?
Auditor Donahey has Just completed
his report nnd fled it with Gov. Willis.
The Good Young Governor Is not at all
pleased because the official figures
show that his administration, during
the past years, has spent trifie more
than half million dollars above what
was taken in.
Another part of the report, interest
ing to those who know the real polit-
ical issues of the day" is the fact that
the Willis administration spent $575,
$50. go more in salaries and wages than
that OF James M. Cox during the last
year or MS lncumDenCy,
KNOX co. PEOPLE FOOLS?
With full knowledge of this condi-
tion. Gov. Willis had the sheer, un-
adulterated nerve at the county fair
recently, to tell the people in his au-
dience that he had been economical;
that he had cut down the number OF
the states employees.
Did Gov. Willis honestly think that
the people coud be so deceived? Does
MT he credit Knox county citizens with
even an average amount of 'hoss"
sense? Doesn't he hold them In
enough respect to avoid making fools
of them?
You can't get away from 1t. Figures
don't lie, although the Republican par
ty In its campaign two years ago did
and is starting in again this year to
pursue like tactics. The party evil
IDENTIFY puts the people In the same
class the Good Young Governor does.
A half million dollars more spent
than was taken in. Think of it! No
wonder people complain that taxes un-
der the Parrett-Whittemore law, VIII
lis administration measure, have in
creased in 80 per cent of the subdivi-
sions of the state.
WILLIS MACHINE COSTLY
Where had this money gone? Ov-
| al 81 HnIIas hauA hnnn
spent In wages and salaries--five hun
dred and seventy-flve thousand more
dollars than were spent under Cox. A
political machine is evidently costly
to run.
Unrestrained extravaganza and

pies on which the Wills adminstra,
ton has been founded. The official
figures show this And the worst OF

AsHRRooK's PERSISTENCE
CROWNED WITH SUCCESS
ashland Press.)

The deep desire OF Congressman
Ashbrook's heart was accomplished
last week when the senate Of the
United States passed the bill that he
has fathered, authorizing the payment
of pensions of $40 per month TO wild
ows of war veterans and containing
some other provisions which will af-
ford much-needed relief to thousands
of widows of civil war soldiers. AS
memento Of the signing Of the bill
last Friday by President Wilson, our
congressman possesses the pen with
which the president performed the
act.
The service which the congressman
from the 18th district Of Ohio render
ed in behalf Of the widows pension
bill is typical of the attention that ev-
cry meritorious cause receives at his
hands.
After tue bill had passed the house
1t hung fire in the senate by reason
of the Indifference OF few north
ern senators and not a little opp
tion on the part of number of SEN
ators from southern states. To !
.spire interest in the bill on the part
'of those who were apathetic and the
support Of as many as possible OF
those who were opposed to 1t, Mr..
Ashbrook addressed himself and final
J iy began to camp out In the senate.

listening to debate and hoping for All
opportunity to get ae measure
through the upper branch. he saw
a chance to do so on Thursday, Sept.
7th.
Immediately he got bVay. Senator
Kern called up the measure and
few minutes later. after practically
no debate, the bill was passed.
Some people are satisfied il they

often found wanting. especially IL
they bump up against opposition. But

WILLIS ECONOMY" RESULTS
IN HALF MILLION DEFICIT;
FRIGHTFUL SALARIES PAII

ed as the most monumental truth-hat-
er of the age. A half million dollar
deficit. Wow!
COX VS.. WILLIS
Willis claimed in 1914 that Cox op-
Grated machine by creating commits
sions, etc, in wholesale and paying
the members thereof stupendous salar-
les. If Cox did have machine, it cost
the state just S575, $4,000 less to oper-
ate it than the Willis outfit is requlr-
ing.
Willis alleged that there was young
army of Office holders in Columbus
under Cox. If there was, it cost the
state just S575,55O.6O less to feed and
clothe them than Willis army has
cost.
Willis charged that there would be
a deficit in the state treasury on ac-
count of the Cox administration. He
had handed over to him just s11,067,-
491.30 when he entered office and gave
his receipt for this money which he
said wasn't in the treasury. He re-
duced this balance by about five mil
lion dollars. Is this economy?

LEGISLATURE RAPED
Donahey has many hot shots in his
reports. He strikes at the enormous
appropriations of the legislature, ad-
ding 'If the head of any one Of Ohio's
$4,000 corporations would suggest a
similar policy for his board, he would
Immediately be incarcerated in an in
stitution for feeble-mnded."
According to Donahey, as long as the
legislature continues to make avail
able for the 80 departments of govern
ment millions of dollars more than
they can legitimately expend, the ex-
penditures Of government will rapidly
increase.
THE SITUATION
The political situation is Just this
The lies of the 1914 campaign cannot
stand the test of the truth of 1915. The
people were fooled by Willis then
They were fooled by the Republican
press. Ayers p. Velvet fooled them
made monkeys of them
The people now know that the Cox
administration was not extravagant
They now know that it was not a DO

for the Republicans, show this up.
UP TO THE PEOPLE
1t is the people who will decide at
the polls in November whether or not
they VIII continue an administration
which has spent half million dollars
more than it received. 1t is the people
who will decide the previous admin
istration! The issue is plain and

If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help put
out the fire? 1t is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger
signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop fire bell when it is ringing
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1t is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often follows
bad cold or an attack of the grip.
