MUZZLEDTHE PRESS, After s mouthy consideration Go?, Pannypcaker has signed the Grady* [Sains libel bill to hush newspapers of that state' from exposing the rotten jlitkal turns'of Senators Quay and Penrose. The wholeobjecfc.of tbislaw tob to prevent newspaper exposure or criticism of the corrupt political ring jthat is eatipg to the very heart of the Fitttsburg and Philadelphia he* ling good examples of cities effected by jthe hand of such men as Quay and IPenrose. The Chicago Rccord-IIer- fatd in au editorial comment has the [following to say; “Ip. signing the Grady-SAus bpl, (that infflinous measure for muzzling [the press which was passed by theboss- | ridden legislature of Pennsylvania, Governor Pennypacker has insulted [the intelligent citizensVip of the state, Ihas disappointed those' who were led [to believe him"’a"h|gK,minded execu­ tive and has shown himself to be a | mere puppet of Quay. Under the pretense ofbeing a “ libel |law” the BalUs-Grady bill was passed I to afford.protection to tbeivmg public [officers, spoils jobbers, grafters, bnl- |lot-box stuffers and ward heelers. I t Igives a right of civil action “ tpr dam- lages resulting from negligence in the [ascertainment of facts and in making [publications affecting - the' cuaracter, [reputation or business of citizen.” In [other Words, aright of action isgiven,' [not because' a publication is false, but [because some negligence “ in the aa- jCertainment offsets and in making [publication” has occured. ‘ The bill requires _no great dlabora Ition, to make it perfectly plain that it Iis intended to intimidate newspapers [from exposing crime.• I t is pointed |oul that Under this law a newspaper [which published a statement that -a (ballot box had been stuffed with fraud- [ulent ballots would; have to publish [the number oh each.ballot, the candi* (dates voted for and the names of [those who voted them—although [these facts might! not be ascertain- Eahle until a recount was ordered by a [court, Under such a law in effective [operation the exposure of the state [treasury scandals, in whifch Quay [was implicated, would not have been [possible, and Pbiladephia could be [plundered, by thieves .and jobbers un- Imolested and undisturbed by the press. The press, however,will not heed \ the gag law signed jand approved by the puppet of'Quay. Its rights ere [guaranteed by the Constitution, state land federal. The state legislature icannot abridge them or destroy them. [Pennsylvania already has. a jibe} law | ample to protoct its citizens from ma~ (licious Hander, The press will go [right on exposing the political thieves j and plunderers of the Quaker com- (monwealtb. ” The approval Of the gag law by Governor Pennypacker is merely an^ other illustration of the fact that can* didates who are named by party gang­ sters, no matter how high-minded they may appear or howlofty their pledges, never fail to become the servile tools of the bosses who made them.

TOWNSHIP COMMENCEMENT The exercises of the Cedarvilla Township Commencement Tuesday; evening were attended by as large a crowd as ever gathered in thp opera bouse. After music by the S,*of V. orchestra, of Xenia, and a song by the schools, Itev, H. G, Middleton gave the invocation. There , were twelve graduates as follows: Marion Moore, Louise Barber, Wil­ son Hauna, Bertha tjtormont, Carrie Compton, Elmer Ewery, Hugh Haw­ thorn, Cora Matthews, Elizabeth Compton, Zillah Hawthorn, Charles Stormont and Pearl Eakestraw, the latter being selected to speak at the coming county commencement. The numbers were all very good, though some of the speakers had little time to prepare, as they only received their grades the day previous. <Under such circumstances the declamations were deliveredvery creditably. The “ Top- sy-Trirvy ” “Flag” and.“Good-night” drills were about the' best ever given at an entertainment of this kind. The district teachersJdeserve much credit for this entertainment 1 as it has required considerable work 1 on ,their part, Such an entertainment as tbeAofie Tuesday evening is the best educational feature of the school course., ^ HERALD’S WEEKLY PHOTOGRAPH. NERVE HAS FAILED HIM. W. N. Darby, warden at the Ohio state peniteutiary, the largest prison in the country, has resigned his posi­ tion after three years of the greatest successihe institution has ever known. Hia resignation came a great surprise to everybody who has any knowledge of. public affairs. The cause of him leaving the big institution is due to softbeartedness, having become tired ofpresidingoverlGOO persons charged With every .degree pt crime. Had there been any electrocutions in the near future -Warden Darby would have resigned some time ago. Since he sent out.the lives of Ruthven, Par­ rel and.Gardner it is Bald he has been greatly effected, having said, “I would not execute another man if i was given a deed for the whole penitent! ary.” LOCATED IN DAYTON.

Brpwn is a native pf: Ross county, 0 .. born in, one of its fertile valleys bearing the classical name of “Buckskin.” He was left without a father When but five months’ old. When about ten years old bis mother moved to-Bainbridge for the sake pf school advantages. Qut of School hours' he was employed asden; in a drug store, and before ending hie apprenticeship had acquirpd the varied experieuce of the work of a ppstoffic, a grocery, a drug' sto/e and a bank. Ten miles from Bainbridge there was situated an academy of the old New England' type. To and from tins school he would often walk during the years he was enrolled as a student there. He nexUentered- ftjarietta .college, from which institution he graduated in ’85, “ raaga cum Jande.” The same year"he was made principal of Gallia Academy, -Gallipolis, O,, where he was most pleasantly situated for five years. Desiring to enter public sohool work, he applied for and was elected to the superintendency of the Cedar- Ville schools in 1900, To better pro pam himself for hjs Work hi* attended the summer sessipn^ot Harvard uni yereity in *99, and‘of Chicago univer­ sity i n ' 02 . '■ During last holiday season lie caw a call in a Presbyterian paper for four touchers in the schools'of the foreign mission fields of that church.*" This being n work he desired to enter seven years ago, he ‘now offered •himself to the Board, of Foreign Missions, and in March was appointed as a teacher in a Boys’ Training School in Coyoa* ean, Mexico. The aim is to make this school a college equal to those of the United States, while under dis­ tinctively evangelical influence. There is need or BUch an institution too, in order that Mexicans and American residents in Mexico tuny be able to obtain, a higher education for their sons without having to send them to the United States. v A missionary writing from Mexico says; “My first year was spent in Coyoacan, and it Was a most delight­ ful one. You will have to persuade yourself that you are a foreign mis* sionary in some other way than hy the conditions of liie; for they are .most pleasant in Coyoacan, the best suburb of Mexico City.” During the years Prof. Brown has been at the bead of our schools his Work has been perfectly satisfactory to both board and parents and it is with, regret that our people will sec him leave, While Our public schools have been of a high standard ijeveral years, Prof. Brown saw opportunities to even advance during this time and today the high school graduates find themselves just as well fitted for cob lege clfltseS fis graduates from high schools from neighboring cities. The Herald voices the sentiment of the entire community in extending wishes for much success toProf, Brown and mother* who are soon to take up a higher wm*k. - SUNDAY EXCURSION.

J. ■ ■- ’■* ' Xenia Lodge of RSts have closed contracts and m. h? . the necessary arrangements toward giving the Citi­ zens of Greene couatu an opportunity to see an old time circus together with a ll the up-to-date professional acts, The circus will «p«» on the night of June 23d, and continue for the bal­ ance of the week, two performances, daily, unber one of the largest tents ever seen with any circus in this county. Over one hundred performers will take port, including h number of the good old fashioned clowns with their funnyjokes and laughable feats, and the Elks guarantee ail those who pat­ ronize their circus early in the week that they will arrange matters so as to see it again. The performers are 111professionals, and few, if any, of th | fifty different actB, have ever been keen heretofore under any canvas, and' there is a treat iu store for the thousands Whowill at­ tend the performances^ Notwithstand­ ing the fact that the ^guaranteed ex­ penses amount to Over $ 2 , 500 . 00 , the price of admission will only be twenty cents, a price within the reach of all, the appreciation of which fact is air ready being demonstrated’by the large demand for tickets, .-which are being sold by the various members of the lodge,- ^ / Iu connection with the circuB the' Elks have purchased afcn cost of $250 a beautiful rubber tired run-about, a good horse and handsome set of har­ ness, which are to be given away on the show ground the last of the circus, to thi| person holding, the lucky num­ ber to be drawn at'thafc time. These coupon numbers are now being sold at ten-cents each, and .judging from the extraordinary demand, the lim ited supply will soon be exhausted. But this is no surprise, when one thinks of the munificence of a $250.00 outfit complete for ten cents! Xenia Lodge of Elks has gained a reputation throughout the'county for its progressiveness’, and the liberal en­ tertainment which it has given the public in the past, and when they say that their circus will surpass all pre­ vious effort in the line of entertain­ ment, the public may. rest assured that it Is “Up To Them” to enjoy j themselves for one entire week at fscarcely any personal expense, j Arrange your plans .now so as to attend every performance.
