CEDARVJLEE, OH IO . FRIDAY. MARCH H 1904 . PRICE $ 1.00 A YEAR. MOB LAW *J At Springfield this Week. Caused By Shooting o f Policeman. Militia Called out for Order. The principal topic of conversation this week baa beeu the shooting of Charles Coliis, the Springfield police*: man,! by Ricbard.Dickerson, alias Dixon, colored, last'Sabbath morning nt tbs Jones hotel where the"the offi* cer had gone .with the. negro” to avert trouble. The excitement was even greater when on Monday night a mob of several thousand people congregat­ ed to lynch the murderer. The countyjail was battered in, the turn­ key and several policemen overpow­ ered, tbe rope fixed around' the pris­ oner's neck and drug like a log into thestreet. Here he was shot* kicked and beaten in a terrible manner. ' He was then drug over the street tor two . squares and hung on a telephone pole . inthe principal square of the city. When this was accomplished the body was riddled with bullets 'while in a . hanging position, Tuesday night the mob not being satisfied with -the work the night pre­ vious started in to blow and burn out __ thesection of the city known as the • r>.Levee,” the portion of the city in­ habited by both whites and blacks, the lowest types of humanity. The One noble example in the above | caseWthat the public has come to see f the effect of polities and a corrupt court. It should he a lesson to every ■ citizen to see that the right kind of! men are placed in office and the dirty i politician and ward heeler given a backseat, POLITICALNEWS, /AGIN THE GOVERNMENT.’’ mob was. successful in hnrniug out seven of the places, three of them be­ ing saloons with residences in connec­ tion. Infour of the 'houses over one hundred people live all the rime and there has been times when fifty more Weremnkingth at their stopping place* The state department was appealed to and several companies „of the militia sent to the scene of tbe riot. The section of the city that is hav­ ing-the trouble is under martial law arid by Wednesday evening some six huudred o f thet), N. G. wereon duty trying to preserve order. The citizens of Springfield are greatly excited and almost every man, both white snd^ black is heavily armed with revolvers The city is in 0 terrible state of af­ fairs but an outraged public must have revenge,- The claim is that the ze. ..of .one ^BWtVB^’UiirB'.'ThB'TOqrtyawrehnrged with corruption and scarcely has a murder received more than threeyears many of them are free men today. The public could stand .the action of the courts no longer arid the mob law put in force. The city deeply regrets the position she is in at the present time iutheminds of hundreds of thous­ ands of people, yet she will stand the ridicule to be released from the' grasp of the murderer and law breaker. The whole state regrets to refer to such action but the work of the mob hns been accomplished arid the least laid about it the better, . The Springfield Press-Republic the representative of the machine iu both Clarfe and Greene counties, contents itself in the Monday issue by taking exception to the demand of the public for a congressman in opposition to Horace L. Smith. A b has been the case the papers in the small towns that are not,under the control of. tbe machine camo out bitterly against Smith and his methods of securing the control of. the central committee. The Springfield sheet says: “ The Greene county village papers, the small fry who are always ‘agin the What the Osborn Local Thinks o f the Machine. Committee Meeting. Entries Close • Saturday; government/ are making a great to- do about it,' and say Judge Smith can’t be nominated and that the best he can do will be to control Greene county patronage. They have failed to show what other Greene Counlian would stand any better show.” The Herald stated last week that if Judge Scroggy was a candidate H, L. Smith would not be a candidate as he could not face such opposition* The true state oFaffuirs is known by the public rind our statement is veri­ fied and the Press Republic is left like a “ ship without a rudder.” The poli­ tical writer for this sheet would cer­ tainly be a failure on the papers that are always “ agin the government.” GOING TO LEAVE Mr. Dan Coffey who has, been with the local telephone company since it was organized has offered his resigna­ tion as head man over the office force. Mr. .Coffey has. been a capable, and faithful employee and bis friends wilt regret to have him leave. He has ac­ cepted a position with the Postal Tele­ graph company and will join the com­ pany at Trotwood O. His brother Martin who has held a position at South Charleston is..expected to fake position for the local company left vacant by Mr. Coffey’s resignation, l •SeedCorn—Dobbins & Son* tf m S A lW T E R OFHEA lTli POWDER Absolutely Pure THEREI S NO SUBSTITUTE “W a t c h U s G row .” i 5 b e nduhe , ' P f,>V GOODS ., H a s y ou r n e igh b o r g iv en y ou a n y p o in t­ ers o n the D a y lig h t S tore?. .

SPRINGFIELD'S 41 DAYLIGHT *in^*i 1 UHn.lMWIMI i I, hold damnable usurpation of authority No man with good sense objects to what is generally known ag machines in politics, It issimply ifnotberaame for organization, and that is necessary in party politics. Sometimes it hap­ pens that tbe organization !gets into the hands of men who use it for the pur­ pose of enrichiugthemselyes Ht the ex­ pense of the,public, and to carry out their criminal plans they will resort to any method before submitting to de­ feat. Greene County has one, maegiuo in politics, the Iiemocrats don’t need any, which has for years been driven through a sea of mire, and crime, and corruption. It is used to steal notni- nations, stuff ballot boxes; count out the elect of the people, count in .the roan with the price, and thenclose up, refuging to show the books, knowing they would give the He to the Great County Central Committee of the Re publican party. ‘-Arid then because some Republicans ■refuse to violate their honor by voting for the machine, made candidate, made in a hack office in Xenia, they are abused by the vtl- iiaris who run' the machine. This Greene couuty machine is one of the most perfect in existence, where there are too many votes for the op­ position* it counts the other way; and to, swell the general result it -will, in some precincts, count.more votes than there are inhabitants, including infant inarms. This machine repeats the offense regularly every year and has already made its initial run this season. Last week f.he central committee, in Other words the machine, met anti named April 4, for the holding of the primary which is to the advantage of its candidates. It had been proposed to allow Judge Smith, by resolution through-the committee, to name the delegates to the congressional conven­ tion, and if he failed to'land the nom­ ination, he could, and would as he did four years ago, trade' it off for the comity’s patronage. This Scheme, however, was abandoned, not because they knevy they had no right to take !many honorable incu think it would he dishonorable to wiring to the Re­ publican central committee as now composed, The man who goes there because he is looking for something for himself will court the gang and all hut break bis neck to serve it. He is there to trade anything for its endoiseinent; and as that is tbe stock with which they do business a trade is made. That is the reason why the Xenia gang can hold the power and prostitute the party to serve their evil purposes, For shame, upon such party corruption,—Oshorn Local. T.E. COURT ITEMS A Strong Candidate is now in the Race for Nomination at Wilmington Convention, > There was a meeting at Cincinnati, last Saturday of the Congressional Committee in the Sixth District* The meeting is said fo hnve been quite a lively one in which the presnt con­ gressman hns Bbown his strength, Wilmington will be the place of hold* ing’the convention on April 12, The apportionment will he one delegate to every 150 votes cast for Herrick last fall. The county apportionment will be as follows: Brown 10, C!ermont 25 Clinton 22/ Greene 96, Highland 26, and Warren 24. Delegates may b&chosen by one of three specified ways at the option of the committeemen from each county. The.plans are by.county mass conven­ tion, county delegate convention or by primaries, each '^candidate being voted for directly, the successful mail Jjeiug allowed to select- his. own dele­ gates. The latter plan-will likely be lollo.weo iu each of the counties, . The county.commissioners recently passed a resolution that the different officials should hand the auditor a list of the necessary supplies instead of purchasing them directly. The com­ missioners then advertised-for bids for th.o .said supplies, the - bids being opened.Monday. The systemadopted by the commissioners is one that will certainly ,meet with-, approval. ..from that the people might turn ana un TTurT them from power* thereby losing every ,|jiug. While all the members of the central committee are parts of the machine, some of them huye nothing to do with its motive power; they are dead weights, carried way down below the writer line, like bags of sand in the bold of q ship for ballast; but unlike the sand they do not even steady the vess ’ in time of storm. A number of men belong to the. machine, who arc not members of the committee; and these are the active ones in the engine room, and that dan be located on the map of Greene county iu an office building in Xenia. It is not only desirable but necessary that the seat of political power be located at the place where all tbfc interests of the county are centered;but it does notfol- low that it should he used to defeat the party will. Republicans of the townships out­ side of Xenia elect central committee­ men and they think they have rep­ resentation and a part in its delibera­ tions, The committeemen on theout side could compel honest methods, could give the county.once in its his­ tory, a fair electioh and an. honest count of ballots; but have they 'ever done so? Has any one ever heard that they ever attempted such a thing? and why will representatives from the country precincts endorse such wrongs and he a prirty to such frauds)1The explanation is easy. The position is not a desirable one to a man who is busy with his own affairs, for it is Withoui, remuneration requires time and some expense; therefore no one wants it; except it he one who is looking for an appointment as post­ master or, position under the Stale administration, in either case, of which he would want the endorse- merit of the central committee; or possibly he wants the nomination for a county office, and being a member enlarges his field of acquaintance and knowledge of practical politics, if he is shrewd arid quick to catch ou. The man’s ambition is easily satisfied who accepts the place for the wee spark of liottor that it brings; and in our couuty The next important political matter the Republicans ofGreene county will have to,look after, following the pri­ mary, is the selection of-delegates to the Congressional . convention and thejL should attend to the matter theriiselves and not.allow the county ring to-do so. Fart of the duties of this convention is to name the pres­ idential electors for this district—a most important matter. — Greene Couuty Press. BIDS OPENED evCxy tax payer. When the -bids to one hundred percent on the differ ent items. The" ptifilia printing has long served as “ pap” for one pr two papers.in the couuty, It is now open to the lowest bidder. For a number of years the election ballots for this county were let to' one publisher arid were ousting the county as high as $275. When the Herald entered for a share of the work the price began to fall when to. day the same Work has been furnished for less than $100, This only shows that the county commissioners have adopted a wise plan in the competative system. The Herald on last Monday bid on eleven different items and was success­ ful on getting six of them. The bulk of tbe work goes to Cincinnati, and Dayton houses. The Herald received the second largest share of any pub* lisher in the county. The announcement- that Judge T, E. Scroggy would be a . candidate from Greene county 'for Congress in the Sixth District was received with the greatest of pleasure % all bur cit­ izens. Judge Scroggy bad been ap­ pealed to by many.influential citizens of this county to enter the nice ’hut. he declined at that time. ,“Later the work of the “ machine” was more than most people could stand arid Judge Scroggy was again besieged by re­ quests to come for. Congress and rep­ resent the people., He was solicited by many from other bounties in the district and his chances .of .winning in the convention areexceedingly bright. He already has the assurance of two counties without any work or solicita­ tion, all won by his brilliant record while on the bench and his pleasing personality, At the present time .there is no ether candidate in the field, from this county as II. L. Smith has With­ drawn, * Tbe political situation in this county has done* 'much towards forc­ ing the public to see thatjust such a man as' Judge ■Scroggy represent Greene county, If. chosen ?at the convention as congressman from this district he will be independent oi any political machine or organization. His own logical judgement will be the basis for his -work in the House of Representatives. Judge Hcrbggy’s Opinion cab seldom be questioned as is proven by the few cases he' has had' reversed while serving as Judge of the Court.of Goriimon Pleag. ^Greene county has riot been ; repre­ sented for many years in Congress and shpuld Judge Scroggy be..chosen for this place the citizens cau rest as­ sured that our congressman .will he heard from frequently. The Herald voices the sentiment of tho voters of Cedarville tpwns^ip iu extending Judge Scroggy our earnest support iu the convention. . ■ | Judge Scroggy *on Monday ren­ dered an opinion jn the case in .which, the county sought to collect taxes, on the endowment fund o f the Semi­ nary. The court holds that tho en­ dowment fund was taxable, Thq amount ol the fund is $77590 repre­ senting a yearly taxation of $2440. The case will be appealed.,. .‘The court cited the case of the Cincinnati, college against the state. The fund Avould not have been taxed had it been placed in the treasury of the in­ stitution. The fnnd was loaned in business channels and is liable for tax-: ation. ■_■■ j Joseph Henderson, colored, was on Monday sentenced by Judge Scroggy to serve a term of four- years, in the peuitentiary. Henderson told the Xenia police of tbe sale .of certain whiskey and Mox Simons was arrest­ ed, When the' ease was tried Hen­ derson denied that he ever made such statements. He was tried -before ,,a jury and found guilty, • The County Commissioners held’ their regular quarterly meeting the first three days this week. Josephine and Sam’l Alexander to W. W.
