The new organize tion .is combining different plants for the sake of getting their machine out cheaper, The Grangers, 1*6 the west, have refused to purchase the trust machines and each granger has taken ten dollars worth of stock in the Os- bOru company, to be used fo-iucrease the capacity of the factory* The Gran­ gers have ftgjrced to take 100,000 bind­ e r , this Season, from the Osborn com­ pany, which is the only independent company manufacturing harves'.era. The trust has been unable to sell their machines* excepting to farmers, who are not affiliated with the Grange, This action is believed to be the cause o fth e men being difcharged by the Champion people as the harvesting machine companies rely largely on domestic trade* which is practically destroyed* a t present, by tins decis- eion of tlie western farmers, \ I,,..

There Is a question with a good many people whether there will be uiaiiy men in town wbo would desire the mayoralty under the new code. The salary attached does not induce a business man to leave his business, the responsibility is also greater^ than under tlie old form of government. The mayor must collect all money due the corporation. He. is president of council and must preside at all meet? mgs. 'However, when be is absent, the president p.r .6 tern, who ia elected from the members of council a t the meeting held the first Monday in May, shall perform .these, duties. I n ease of death, resignation,' or removal of the mayor, the president pro tern of coun cjl Bball become mayor. The mayor lias the appointment o f a street com raissioner, who must be confirmed by council. The appointee cun serve one year only and. must be sib elector of the corporation. Tbo mayor also has veto power And every ordinance or resolution of council shall, before it goes into effect, be presented to the mayor for approval. I f such measure be .vetoed he shall, within ten days after its passage, return 1 same with his objections to council. By. a two-third -vote, council may pass a vetoed measure. ' -■ ' t - t t 1 ‘ - Who’will it be? This seems to be the question that-is confronting the C'tizens of Cedarville, 'The new mu­ nicipal code will cause the election of every office-holder in the corporation and people seem greatly interested as to who Will be tbe candidate for may­ or. The-Herald has not' been able to le Yn whether the Committee o f One Hundred wifi pu t au iiidepeuent tick­ e t in the field or not, but there is ru­ mors that the citizens will demand, it from the fact that corruption rules at the primary.

The first Monday in April is the day set. The most important motion was, that SVm. Rodger, who was . ousted for supporting a Democrat lu st fall, be reinstated, the motion being-made by Wm. Buckles. Dr* DeHuven again introduced the motion, but it . was voted down. There has been no de­ cision as to whether there will be a primary in Xenia city o r not. • f t t Hon. Horace Ankeney has taken his seat in the office of Dairy and Food Commissioner And announced that R . J . Manck of Gallipolis will be chief counsel for the department.

SOUTHERN JR. ' ON THEJBUNIBY PAPER. The press o f this coubtry lias always been regarded as the intellectual monarch of the people. I t is sought by statesmen, authors, financiers the millionaire and the beggar. I t is the office to'voice the news, both local and foreign, and keep, the occupied citizen in touch witb wbut will effect him, whether in a commercial, fiuan-. ciMrpoimdairor moral manner.

Newspapers of today have prpven to be the public infor­ mant on all issues of u public., nature. Men now-a-days are, too buBily engag­ ed witb their business, whether it be in the city, town, or rural dietriot, and have to rely purely on the news­ paper for their knowledge of the c.oh ducting of public affairs hb well as news in genera), The newspaper that takes-a firm stand for the right, will naturally miike some enemies.

I t was the belief of the ' Editor thlit the local option side 'should be led to victory and we set our sails for that point.- A t the time the saloons were voted out, the people of. Cedar- vilie Were getting rid of the “ boodle” politician. This then would give the citizens the power a t the polls. I t was hot thought for one minute- that the ward politician would step.up and con* gratulute fis for the victory but rather condem us for checking hisv corrupt work of robbing every votfcr of Lis. right under the -Constitution, o f the United States;.

I f the local option vote can be used as an example, the people hnve administered a rebuke to the bm - loon element of this corporation, We quote below an extract from a paper, read before a western press association by Wm. Southern J r ,, editor o f the Independence* (Mo.) Examiner. “ The country paper must be in pol­ itics. I t is a legitimate field and one it must fill. I t is either a force for good or evil. The day of the influen­ tial politicial organ is gone. A paper should he Democratic or Republican, bu t its platform comes from the prin­ ciples which form the lines of division betWPCU the two parties and not from the personal theories advanced by tbe professional politician who has no pol­ itics but spoils Will anyone claim that party lines should be drawn in local interests? I f you do, will yon tell me which is worse, a Democratic thief or a Repulican thief? I have heard men say that they would rather support their own rascal than the ras­ cal who belongs to the other party* and that, too* when they knew th a t their own man was a rascal and said bis op­ ponent was because.he happened to be of the opposite political faith. “ I believe in supporting my frinds.

There are primary elections for the nomination of candidates iu all large cities. The prizes are pot so large as to attract the cupidity of the comroer cipl politician.

In this case there is no troub le for the party paper. -It can easily support the nominees of its party and feel that it is doing right. , “ After all is said there is but one rule by which we should he guided—? do what is right; measure your actions by the high standnrd ' of right and wrong; never indorse what you know to be wrong, either hy word or by si­ lence; let all meu know there is some- OB1TUARY. Miss Anna Ellen Baker, daughter George H . and Mary Baker, ‘ was born in Lopdon county, VaMAugust 8 , 1879, and departed this life Febru­ ary 16, 1908, a t the age of 23 years, 6 months and 13 days. She lmd been suffering tar more than A year with tuberciilouses, the last few weeks having been (narked with intense suf­ fering. She was patient through all her afflictions, never known to mur­ mur or complain. She was taken suddenly ill ou Sabbath night, and when she revived she repeatingly said “ Let me go' home.” She was baptized and united witb the Metho­ dist Episcopal church a t Cedarville* November 30, 1902, A t 10 o'clock Monday night she departed for the home of which she so often spoke, -“That home beyond the river.” She leaves to mourn her loesj her father, George Hi Baker, two sisters, Lillian and Nellie and one brother Edgar, '* MUNICIPALOWERSHjPOF CRUSHER. During- the past week there baa been considerable discussion among several of the members of council. about tbe repairing o f the streets this spring. The condition of south. Main street in tbe wet time Is a dis­ grace to the town and council expects to properly drain and grade tha street this spring, providing of course that there is no electric road in view. There has beenjlu ring the past _year or so considerable work done on onr streets and there is still need of more. The Street committee has been using grav­ el instead of the crushed stone trom -the fact that the latter is held a t an exorbitant price, compared to the real value of it. The gravej lias not proved the success intended and there is strong arguments put 'fo rth now that the corporation should own its own stone crusher And operate it as is done at Morrow, O. There h»iB been a t various seasons as high as 1000 yards of crashed rock pu£ on' the Streets, and by the municipal owner­ ship. of a crusher and the working out fines from the mayor’s court there thing in.your office that cannot could he more stone put on the streets bought,-and that is your honest sup- 1 ” 1 port of a man or measure. The*paper should occupy a high place in the community in which it is published, and its greatest asset is its character.

I t Costs the corporation over eight dol­ lars for every.,.prisoner sent" to the work house. This could be saved by tbe working out o f this time at home. Tbe members of council are under tbe opinion that there would be no trouble ivhatever in getting a site to quarry the stone. Another' proposi­ tion that will, in all probability be given some attention and flint is con­ tracting with tbe township trustees for the stone used on the 'roads iii this township, ' I t is estimated that about §1500 is spent,yearly for material for street and road purposes hi this town­ ship and by the joint ownership of a, crusher by the trustees and corpora­ tion a crusher could be purchased and paid for ih a single season and the road material furnished ot much less than it has cost in the past. The exorbitant price charged has caused' the corporation to use gravel instead of stone. Another feature that must not be overlooked in, this matter is that if the crasher ‘is* paid for .the first season, from that time on the tax payers will have better graded roads aod at a fat; less cost than . here-. tofore. Oue member of council states that if a plant is erected .it will be constructed in a substantial manner so there would be little danger while loading.

" Mr; Bradiute explained the growing of pedigree corn something’ new to, the farmers of this section.*,' The arguments advanced' by the speaker proved that not’ -enough a tr ten tion ispiiid as to .planting o f the proper seed corn. The ’ same' carp should he given the selection of seed corn as would, be given in the selec­ tion of animals, to head a herd o f find'’ cattle.
