EVIDENTLY FAIL TO SIZE WILLIS
COMEBACK ABILITY

Faulkner. In Cincinnati Enquirerl
Two years ago when the victorious
Republicans changed the lock on the
Offices OF the State Liquor Commits
sion they found hanging in the re-
ception room a handsomely framed
picture Of Governor Cox. Cribbing
the frame. the victors put in the
handsome mug OF their own Governor
cracking at Major Byron M. Glen
Dening, holdover Democrat. for say
ing "All right. boys. but put the
Cox picture in the back of the thing,
where It win be handy in 1917"
True to his warning the pictures
were changed on Wednesday Of this
week and the frame now holds that
of Cox It is not recorded whether
the Republicans asked for the re-
placement of that OF Willis back OF
the frame.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION

1t used to be that Wisconsin was
considered the pattern state for ad-
vanced civics, but now it seems Illi-
nois is gaining some headway in that
direction. One particular suggestion
is entitled to serious consideration.
The legislative efficiency and economy
commission has recommended that
the system of requiring the appoint
ment of minority members on COM
mission be abolished. The commit
tee saye:
The provision for minority repre-
sentation on such bodies has seldom,
if ever, been productive of any pro-
gressive business ideas in the perfor-
nance Of the prescribed duties.
Such a politically divided organiza-
ton offers convenient method of
sidestepping the faulty administra-
ton Of official work.
1t offers an opportunity to make a
minority party equally with the ma
jority party assume that burden. In
the political campaigns the party
which has the minority representa-
ton on such board is precluded
from securing any political capital
from the unwise official acts Of such
politically divided board in charge
of an administrative activity.
1t would appear that If the party
in power is to be held responsible for
the conduct of the government, such
politically divided board would have
no place among legislative creations.
There Is good logic in this state
ment, quite sufficient to commend it.
self to all thoughtful men. The BIZ
partisan idea verges on humbuggery.
It splits up responsibility and tries to
make the minority partially respon-
sible, when it isn't so in the least. In
fact, the whole process is designed to
relieve publit authority from respon-
sihility and hoax the people. Better
let the majority be represented by
one man, who is responsible to the
chief executive. Then there would
be no hoodwinking about the matter,
Everything will be above-board and
public duty be clearly defined. II
would be we'll that Ohio adopted this
reform now, instead Of waiting 10 or
Is years. Ohio State Journal.

WAR COSTS

Thus far the European war has
cost $76,OOO,OOO,OOO. That is 76
billions. For blood and physical pain
fully 500 billions more. In sorrow
and anguish, 1000 billions. more. In
desolated homes, broken up families,
wandering orphans and weeping wild
ows, 200 billions. There is fully
5000 billion dollars the cost to date,
and yet that is low estimate. There
are mothers who would pay that to
get their bright-browed boys back.
There are sweethearts who would pay
twice that to get back their lovers.
Still the horrible war goes on, in the
face of these great losses. on the idea
that force can establish peace; that
happiness comes by killing men. 1t
is as low down a claim as that rob
berry is honesty! or that licentious-
ness is purity.-Ohio State Journal.

LAWsON's PERFORMANCE

We do not suppose any sensible
man will take stock in Thomas w.
Lawson's wild and whirling words.
We do not believe the word of this
stock market buffer, this creature of
brag and big talk, will be credited
for an instant against that Of a trust
ed and respectable public servant like
Secretary McAdoo or Mr.. Tumulty.
Lawson's attitude in this inquiry
has been typical of him. He went
boasting to Washington, declaring
that he was possessed of all the de-
tailed facts to create great scandal
in the administration. Then, when
finally forced through the fear of be-
ing jailed for contempt to make de-
finite statement, he said he got all
his detailed facts from Congressman
Henry after reaching Washington.
Congressman Henry denies in toto
every assertion Lawson makes in his
connection, as Messrs McAdoo, Tu-
multy and others deny in toto every
assertion he has made involving
them. 1t is said that great deal is
being made of LawsOn's testimony in
the press of other countries as show
ing the corruption of the American
government, but that must be be-
cause they don't know Lawson as we
do over here.-Ohi0 State Journal.

THE PRINT PAPER HOLD UP

The Departmet of Justice has not
acted hastily in taking the inquiry as
to the price of paper from the hands
of the Trade Commission. Facts re-
vealed long ago were impressive
enough to warrant the conclusion
that law rather than remonstrance
was needed to meet this situation.
In hardly any instance involving
monopolistic practices has the evil
dence of guilt been more conclusive.
1t can be demonstrated, we believe,
that the scarcity so widely proclaim
ed was deliberately created. The ex-
tortionate prices based upon that fic-
ton, which have brought thousands
of publishers face to face with ruin,
were arbitrarily established. By
creating panic conditions, manufac-
turers and dealers found it easy to
help themselves to the financial re-
sources of their customers.
How all-embracing this hold-up was
and it may be better understood when
it is said that almost over night the
price of print paper was more than
doubled in many cases, and that to
increase the terror thus produced
there was a pretense Of inability here
and there to continue supplies on any
terms. without combination in Can
ada as well as in the United States
no such conspiracy could have sue
ceeded.
Investigation by the Trade Com
mission has shown that the average
price now asked for print paper is
$29 ton more than the average cost
of production. In that circumstance
alone we have proof that conditions
at the mills have not changed, for
the profit here indicated is greater
than the entire cost formerly of an
excellent quality of paper delivered.
If our laws against trade piracies
cannot reach wrong SO glaring as
this, they need hardly restrain more
clever offenders who at least operate
in the dark and cover up their tracks.

[Put sandles' Ottawa Sentinel

In 1916, both Democratic and Re
publican parties went on record in
favor of Woman Suffrage, state by
state, Now the leaders of the move
ment want nationwide right to vote
for President in 1920. Women vot-
ers decided the Presidential election
in 1916. VIII any party dare OPP
pose them in the future? The Wo-
men who now have the right to vote
propose to reward political parties
and leaders who favor their cause.
They propose to punish those who
are against them. What effect will
this new power in politics nave upon
the two big political parties? Is
universal woman suffrage close at
hand?
So far the eastern states have been
solidly against it. If the east con-
tinues to oppose, IL may cause future
Presidents to be chosen from beyond
the Mississippi, or south of Mason
and Dixon line. Already the ladies
have the balance of power. They
now control ninety-one electoral
votes, which equal two states like
New York.

WILSON GRATEFUL TO OHIO

Columbus, o., Jan. 12.-Governor
Cox received this letter from Presi-
dent Wilson:
Il do not know any action that has
gratified me more than the resolu-
tions of the Ohio electors which you
were gracious enough to transmit to
me by telegraph, and hope that you
will have some opportunity and
means of communicating to them
severally my gratitude for the cheer
they have given me. In haste, with
warmest and renewed congratula-
tions, cordially and sincerely yours. "

FULL SUFFRAGE IN ILLINOIS

And now comes the Democratic
chief of Illinois Roger E. Sullivan,
and advocates suffrage for the women
of Illinois. In that state they can
vote for president, but not for gov
ernor; for all city officers except po-
lice magistrate, and for most town
officers, but not for constable. These
exceptions are ridiculous ard public
sentiment is beginning to recognize
them as such, 1t will take consti-
tuition al amendment to correct them,
but Illinois is to have constitutional
convention and that will give full
suffrage to women. Mr.. Sullivan
says the results have been good and
he promises his party will rally to
it's support and leave not fragment
of suffrage behind. The Rapublican
party takes the same stand in its
platform and the new governor stands
firmly on his platform. Now let Ohio
get up to the front alongside OF Illi-
nois-Ohio State Journal.

We do not know whether our old
friend Put Sandles could be induced
to again shoulder the duties OF Sec
retary OF the Ohio State Board Of Ag-
riculture, so many OF his friends seem
bent on wishing him the job. Could
he be prevailed on to disentangle the
work of the wrecking crew, the ad-
ministration at Columbus would do
a mighty fine thing to put him in
charge again.
