G. 0. 2. Paper Not for Ohio Governor

The Oberlin News, Republican
newspaper, has repudiated Harry L..
Davis, the Republican candidate for
Governor, and endorsed the candi-
'dacy of State Auditor A. " Donahey.
The News says Davis does not
measure up to the standard, but that
Donahey is a man of unquestioned in
tegrity and ability and stands as a
candidate unhanpered by the claims
of any special interest.
THE News is a Republican paper,
the statement continues, ''but is pub
lished by an Ohio business corpora
ton. 1t believes in the principles of
the Republican party and regretfully
lends its support to a Democratic
candidate. With all this in mind, the
News advises voters to cast their
ballots for Donahey for governor. BY
so doing they serve the best interest
of the state of Ohio, and that should
be the determining factor in select
ing an executive head for the state
government. The News feels that
Donahey should have the support of
thoughtful voters of all parties. -

Why should the Republican leaders
pretend to be shocked by Gov. cox's
charge that they are raising an enor-
mpus campaign to buy the Presidency?
They were not shocked when Senator
Newberry was convicted and sentenced
to ten. years il. the penitentiary on the
charge Of spending fortune in his
campaign; they neither asked him to
resign from nor threw him out Of the
Senate. They were not shocked at the
millions spent in the primary cam
paign Of Gen. Wood and Gov Lowden.
but this latter was a moral and not a
legal offense. Only when the offense
charged might corle within the pro-
vince of the criminal courts do they
seem to display a pretense of resent
naent. What has become of the claim
thar the q. o. P. is the party Of great
moral ideas?"

adoption. This letting down of the
fences will undoubtedly, consider
ing the German love of titles, soon
cause the old nobility to be
swamped by an upstart nobility with
few streaks Of blue blood in their

That is one way in which the no.

these mere heraldic salvage opera
tlons, other activities of a more
practical character are going on.

that the old preferential position of
the nobility has been swept away

THE late Marquis of
Il QueemsberYy, acho died
recently IN South Africa

the then Prince Of Wales and others
in the shocking revels at the White
House, atsSoho Square and Sutton
Street, and age failed to reform
him. He drank harder than most,
bet for higher stakes, and led in
daring adventures with women.
Society, though more tolerant than
now, shook its head a little fear
fully over these escapades, some of
which became rather grim. 1t was
the fashion to say that some who
passed the huge gates of the house
in Sutton Street never were seen
again. A huge double winged struc-
ture, it contained eXtravagant deco
rations, with large mirrors set in
the panels and sumptuous furniture
and hangings. The jests sometimes
took a sardonic turn, as when
skeleton was lowered from the cell
ing to be guest at the feasts.
Revels of a sensational character
were held in the Painted Chamber,
the Grotto and other apartments.
With most men age has a subdu-
ing effect, tempering the heyday in
the blood with judgment; but not
so with "Old O." Decay robbed him
of his physical faculties, he could
see but little from one eye and
hear only with difficulty with one
ear, but he was reluctant to yield
first place in that licentious society
where he had so long been supreme.
He retained his gift of repartee,
and the newer wits gathered at his
bedside to listen to his stories. He
preserved his fondness for loose
French comedies and spent vast
sums having the first artists per-
form them for him. Unable at last

a social club, their officers mess
would not be disturbed by plebeian
interlopers. Others, usually of the
younger or lower nobility, were
started on the path that led to the
higher positions in the government
service. These had to go to the uni
versities, had to study law and pass
hard examinations; and some years
had to be spent in uninspiring
drudgery at the law courts. Out of
these two currents the diplomatists
were selected, largely from the stand
point Of family rank and eligibility.
Wealth, too, was always essential in
the higher diplomatic positions.

The Old Order Dead

But this easy arrangement of
careers under parental auspices has
ceased. The highest positions in the
army, indeed, are still held almost
wholly by noblemen; but the army,
under the new order of German af-
fairs, will be so small that the mill
tary career will necessarily cut but
slight figure henceforth in the
aristocracy's outlook upon life. 1t
is even probable that officers with
out a noble title will be preferred
when the present leaders are re-
tired. Neither can the nobility ex-
pect preferment in the public serv-
ice, though some of them will re-
main in it.
SO far as the military career goes,
the very basis of it is cut away
by the peace treaty-the Cadet
Corps, namely. There are three of
these, one each in Prussia, Saxony
and Bavaria, being military organi-
cations of the boys in the eleven
cadet schools. These schools have
lost their military character and
continue to exist only as ordinary
fitting schools, but the financial au-
thorities of Prussia and the nation
express doubts as to whether the
money can be found for continuing
them even in that capacity. Thus
the first rung in the ladder of the
young nobleman's favorite career is
cut away.
Another heavy blow is the pro
vision of the constitution that prac-
tically abolishes noble titles. 1t
leaves existing titles, indeed, as a
part of the family name, but these
shall carry with them no advantages
of birth or class; and no new titles
shall be conferred.

more general basis. 1t has estab-
lished sort Of training station in
Saxony, where it has procured large
landed estate, and will there teach
ex-officers farming and prepare them
also for other callings.
1t also conducts a sort of build
ing and loan association and pur-
poses to buy land in various parts
Of the country, which it will parcel
out to settle upon it the men whom
it trains. 1t will require them to
work one or two years on the Saxon
estate before trying to set them up
in life.
