Noted Divines in Addresses and Interviews ’f or a»d Against the State Agricul­ tural Board’s New Policy. • Th,e question of the opening o f the ¥ state fair, last Sabbath has been dis- ! cussed strongly through the .pulpit and press. Below we give an extract of Dr. E . L . Kexford’s sermon a t the fair grounds on that .day and, also some statements as to the opinions of Cincinnati ministers on tbe question. “The board of agriculture in con­ sidering th e , question of a t\vo weeks fair found itself confronted with tbe . ttiore embaraBsing question of the Sabbath that would intervene. What -should be done,.on th a t day was the perplexing problem. The members Anticipated that there would be a con­ siderable party in the state that would -strongly oppose the opening of the - gates on that, day, and in this forecast it does not' seem that they, were disap­ pointed. On the other baud they he- ..iieye that a much, larger .party would bkui favor of such a policy, and in tlijs belief they were righ t ’’They had ; .regard also for that large number of peOpledn Ohio who could not avail themselves of any other day for such inspection, without suffering the lose of wagei—a loss which many could not afford. The arguments, for and . against 'bis decision'have been giveU . to the people through the pulpit find press, I may bo' permitted to say, i however, that I think the board has, acted wisely and patriotically and even religiously' in the premises. I t has been urged .against the opening of the gates on that day that it will establish ,a precedent which other boards pf agriculture will seek to follow. I. sincerely hope so. 1 hopp that the benefits o f this day nnd the influence of this service- may be. such as to make the policy of this present board an example to ' be re­ peated hy the authorities for ‘many a year to come. I f on the contrary, there shall be discovered some evil In­ fluence stealing into this service 0? growing ou t of it—-a result which seems to me incredible. There is no Company o f men in the state who will lie rabre ready to abandon this day's policy than those who have inaugu­ rated i t / Rev Dr. Lasher says: “ The Ohio State Fair,* a t ColutnbuS, Was open last Sabbath, notwithstanding the pro­ test and the importunity o f the Chris­ tian people o f the Btate, I t is said that 10,000 people were on the ground and religious services were held a t the grandstand, when two men recognized as ‘ministers of the Gospel' took part. One was the pastor of the Universal* 1st Church, Rev E . L , Rexford, the other Rev Edward .tones, pastor of the Episcopal Church. An ex-mer*! sued, formerly a Methodist, was fit­ ly the ibird participant. The preach­ er was tbe Umveraalist, and it offered him . a chance to vent his spleen against the evangelical ministers who refused to take part in the profanation of the day. He was especially hard on President Thompson, o f the S tile University, who. a t Aral thought h i Would participate in the services, h u | after thinking o f it refused, Th# preacher ‘made a strenuous plea for liberty of conscience,* and thought th a t 'much o f the labor trouble which ti» suits In strikes would occur i f the women were better cooks and Gleaner housekeepers/ There' seems to b t something quite fitting in the reljg* knis complectioo of the men who had part in the desecration of the Lord’s and it ii evkkat th a t the open­ ing of the fair was opposed by the «* ligfons sentiment o f the people of t f e state." Dr F . C . Monfort, editor of the Herald and Presbyter, said: “I heart­ ily endorse the resolutions passed by the Presbyterion ministers, I do not think it is necessary or right to im­ pugn or question the motive of those ministers who held this religious meet­ ing. They can be as honest as other men.” D r Robinson, of the Trinity M. E . ,Ohuroh, said: “ The resolutions passed by the preshyterian inipistera are not too strong. The Cincinnati Metho­ dist Conference,1which convenes this week a t Dayton; will adopt similar resolutions; I do n o t < impugn the motives o f the ministers who 'con­ ducted the meeting on th e . state grounds. A Universalis! could hard­ ly have acted or spoken otherwise.” Rev D r Rexford, who preached the sermon on religious liberty is one ot the best know and -most esteemed di» vines of his denomination.

The well known reputation of Greene County in literary effort is ably sustained by W;A, Paxson in his new novel, “ A Buckeye, Baron.” TbO scene o f the hero’s boyhood . life is a farm in the ’ neighborhood o f James town, from which he makes excursions to Clifton, Yellow Springs aba the L ittle Miami, with its - Lover’s Leap, Fairy Pool and other features that are gathering the moss of romance ns the years roll by. The young man’s fatli er. an old skinflint of ,n type that is rapidly passing away, makes bis life a‘ burden, which is aggravated by the refusal of a neighboring girl’s father to consider his suit until he becomes a barpu. What others would consider a point-blank refusal becomes an in centive to our Ix-ro, who in quest of the title isdriven Ulysses like for many yeas through Europe .and Africa. After a series of astonishing adven­ tures he gains the coveted title and great wealth, wlieu he hears o f bis sweetheart’s marriage.' A season qf despondency is followed by a longing to return to the scene of his childhood whist) he accordingly does, to find the report of the marriage true, al though to another ' man. The demon ot drink, for once serving, n . useful purpose, soon carries oft* the husband, thus allowing the marriage of the two affinities-^quod erat demonstrandum. Although the love-story ii well and consistently drawn, the reader cannot go ;iveiyofar into the book without dis­ covering that tbe story is being made the vehicle for several featural char­ acter studies, which will appeal to any whose wells qf human sympathy arc, not dried up. The book is a'pioneer iu anew stage of-fictional evolution. The.old style novel was followed by the one having a nation as a stage. .Thep came the Btate novel; now the town­ ship claims the distinction. The in­ tensity increases as the extension de­ decreases. Bu t to say that on this ac­ count the hook will not interest those unacquainted with the kind of.people and the locality, would he as untrue as to say that they do. not care to look, a t pictures of home scenery.

Cedarville was certainly nt the front a t the State Full* held nt Columbus during the past two weeks. I t has been euid that it was. always Cedar- yille against the wnrhi, and it must be so, for the way our- stockmen came out with premiums it is certain proof that we are in a position to furnish the world with the-finest cattle, hogs and sheep. In looking over the various herds and noting the address one might think the fair was held for Cedarville stockmen. To a certain extent"this 5s the case, ftir it it .wasn’t for her rep- representatives the fair hoard - would have to decide that the fair would not he a success.

Was It put Into their party platform for 1901 by the Ohio Democrats for real business, or tor buncombe? These questions are vital to tho pending campaign, They can not be set aside, or put Into the background by any Democratic clamor over other matters. They relate, and rightfully-, to-that plank of the Democratic plat­ form In Ohio for the present year, which not only declares for "the aboli­ tion of tbe so-called protective sys­ tem,” but also Insists upon ‘'the substi­ tu tion in its place- of the traditional Democratic policy of a tariff for rev­ enue,” Thera are other wor wrapped around,these to conceal tlie nakedness and ugliness of the same old Demo­ cratic free trade doctrine, but they can not hide, it. The evil Is there,, and U Is In the campaign. * 1 V If it is_not iu the campaign, then the Democrats of Ohio stand self-.con- fessed as frauds’, seeking to deceive the people by putting forward issues in which they have.no faith them-, solves. If free trade is • not to- be foukht over once.more In Ohio,,.why did- the Democrats bring it out to the front again", from the partial obscurity iu which they put It during thy years in which first free silver, arid then opposition to' the expansion of-tlie ter- ritory of the Onited States w.ere made “paramount?” Repudiation, in all its forms has been-made "a party princi­ ple by the Ohio Democracy" In past years,'and that party haB been driven from,one guise of it to another, until at last eyen the most sacred shibbo­ leth of free Bllyer has-been dropped In silence, but through it all, and all’ the tirnc “the traditional Democtatla policy of a tariff for revenue” has been clung to. .Always and every­ where; Deirio'eratlfc poWdr meant Dem­ ocratic' free trade. No matter what bait for gudgeons has- been used, when It caught them they , were thrown Into the free trado- 'net,' and used to destroy “the protective sys­ tem.” « -The very Word “traditional,” used by the Democrats in their decjarntlon of policy, describes and fixes it most completely. From■ It there is no re­ lease or escape, and thefr return to ll in full force this year bught to warn every worker and wage-earnfer ofNtho’ risk he runs in aiding to put such a- party "back into power. Docs any. man need' any demonstra­ tion ot the. dangers to him arid his' earnings that' the "traditional Demo- - cratlc policy of a tariff for revenue” involves i Who has forgotten 1893 and tho' years after-it so soon?' Did ' not the Democrats defeat of Harri­ son’s re-election in 1892, stop the prosperity of that year under “tho so- called protective, system,” supported, enacted and enforced by the Republi­ can party, and sound the signal to stop iL and reverBO it and throw it down? Cleveland’s election checked all progrCBB and ho was president barely two months when the. panic of 1893 swept destruction over the land. Who can recall those recent years without terror At the thought? Who.; would vote to-day to bring back those times? And yet the Ohio Democrats make the very demands in their pros* ent. platform, that they did in 1892, and all over the country there is a revival within that party of the su­ premacy of Its free trade element, of the prominence of that "traditional Democratic Volley” Will, Ohio give its vote to increase such peril to our own people? . * i To Ohio, be it remembered, was given the honor in an election for governor? of first turning the tide of Democratic distress towards Republi­ can prosperity. In the darkest days of ’93, when the Democratic panic was at its height, the Republicans of this State nominated William McKin­ ley for governor, and his’election that year by 80,895 plurality was the signal that the country had already repudi­ ated "the traditional Democratic pol­ icy,” and was the first streak of day­ light in the clouds and darkness that' hung over the land, ClfLIilJiGS From ' Official- Circles In .Greene County’s Capital, REAL ESTATE DEALS.
