TWENTY-EIGTH YEAR NO. 2(5* CEDARVILLE, OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 19, I9QS, FRIGE $1.00 A YEAR. DSBORNLOCAL If wo read correctly the signs of the times, tbo Republican machine in Ohio has undertaking a moat un­ gracious and unpopular task by • foisting Gov. Herrick upon the party and people for a second term. Against Oov, Herrick, ns j nan, we have np word of criticism, and certainly the confederated churches and temperance people of the state , -have no controversy with the Re­ publican party, and no criticism of its splendid record—State and National, |Unfortunately Gov,' Herrick, having the general repu­ tation of “ a goodman,” hits -allowed ’himself to become the. agent of evil doers, and made for himself the yerjcworst possible records as an executive. Indeed, If tie had confined him­ self to the duties o f lus high and honorable office, and executed the laws put In his hands by the legis­ lature, he might now be holding a high place In the confidence ,of the people, and . subterfuges ^and chicanery would not necd to be re­ sorted too in order to secure liis re- election. But, evidently at the be­ hest of those who jhad become his master* he assumed prerogatives, not his own, or belonging to. the official toga with which the. people of the state had invested him, and became a dictator as to what legis lation should be had. In. the splendid address of Sec­ retary Taft, at Columbus, he seem­ ed to labor under, the impression that the local option legislation in Ohio had- been brought about by Gov. Herrick. He has been out of ' the state and country so much of late, and connected so actively with the broader affairs of the nation that his inattention to ’ local con­ ditions may be excused;, but he had evidently been tutored with refer­ ence to the “ state issue*. which, jnay. play some part in the comming.cam­ paign,” or he _never would have said: - “ It” ,(local option legislation) “ gives Gov.' Herrick % just claim to the approval of his fellow citizens, and instead of forming some ob­ stacle to Republican success, in the next election, it ought to bo ‘and Well he -a reason for increased ..majorities.” Now, the' fact is, local option, as a principle, was well established in Ohio long before Myron T. Herrick became Governor, as evidence in the township local option law and the Beal law. But people liv- . ing in the residential portions of Cities dominated ; by the liquor traffic felt that they also had some right to home protection. Hence the Brannock bill. Possibly sup­ posing that, such a measure .could not pass,- and having announced to ids alarmed liquor friends that it would not be entertained, he promised a committee of three honorable gentlemen not to use any personal, or official, influence ngainstit. (This is all that was do- iuFtffi by them,) But behold! the Brannock bill was passed; by large majorities in both houses. Then began a system of dictation by the Governor, as to the modifications that must be made on the basis of so called “ fairness," but really in ‘the Interest of the liquor traffic, or he ould use the newly acquired veto power * of his office against it. Under tills threat some modifications were made, but others demanded were refused, and so we have the Brannock Law—belter than nothing, but not nearly so good as It would have been if Gov, - Herrick had keep his word by lett­ ing lb alone, save to complete the action of the Legislature, voiceing the sentiment of the people, by his official signature. * * * * *. * This chapter would seem to be humiliation enough for the great slate of Ohio, and the Republican Sometime* the h tif is not properly nourished* It suffer* for food, starves.

Herrick he re­ manded to private life ,,the bosses got in their w.ork and said in effect, “ We’ll show you who runs Ohio politics.” And now they say to t^lfl Republican voters of the state: ’ ’You must be loyal to your party.” Merciful heavens? If loyalty to party moans simply to .vote into party; but let us go a little farther, office those .whom the bosses select, then has “ government of the people,'by the people, and for the people” perished in Ohio,. But look again. Anticipating the form, at leasts of a.convention, Gov, Herrick, with an evident pur? pose to capture the moral elements of the state for bis cause, engaged Rev. Pr* Morgan Wood, a retired and eloquent Congregational min. ister of Clevelad, to present his name to the convention. The matter was noted by . the press throughout the state and was re­ garded as settled. Indeed, Dr, Wood was working on his speech, and is said to have promised a copy to a certain Cleveland, paper at an early date,'when Klhg/Oosc. caihe upon ,the scene and* said “ No, it wont do.” Mr. Herrick protested, said it would embarrass him to change, etc.; but Cox only said louder “ NO." Herrick trembled like a scared /rabbit and yielded,, and Dr. Y ood -was unceremonious­ ly. hustled off £he platform. We are giving' these facts upon no less authority than the Cincin­ nati Commercial Tribune, which ought to know whereof it affirms, and will be recognised as the ex­ ponent of orthodox Republican­ ism. We pause then, jn the fade of a great humiliation, simply fo ask: Is this the kind of a man Ohio Wants in. the chair of its Chief Executive? Do we" Want A man who apparenly has no mind of his own, but is owned and dominated by ohe George B. Cox of Cinclnnat? The voter will have his chance in November, for “ ballots execute the freeman’ s will as. judgements do the will'of God.” EOFTHE A 1- A large and sympathetic concourse -of-people- assembled- Saturday June 10th at * o’clock at theM.

Middleton, made the closing address. M ub I c was furnished by the K« of P. hand. The following is what the three principal witnesses had to say as to the death of Miss Della Ford before the Cornor’s investigation. Nellie McClain, a companion of the dead girl who was miraculously saved from a like fate, made a state­ ment to the coroner in which she Baid there were two freight trains at the crossing and the two engines wore facing each .other, pretty close to­ gether. The east bound freight was clear across the crossing, She said: “ We waited awhile on the freight. We wore on the south side o fs the train and the west side of the Street. The trainman on the east bound engine, motioned for ua to come-on and said there was no danger, so we started and I got to the i(ja(n track and the trainman pn the west bound engine grabbed me and held me. I do not know where Della wjis I was so scared,' The two men sitting on the’ engine had' no conversation'With us at all.” Ben Kennedy, the brenkman who saved the life o f Nellie McClain, told hisVersion of the affair, saying he was Sitting on the pilot of the engine talking to Charlie Gretsinger, the fireman, when ho looked and saw the girls pass. He heard No. 14 whistle for the girls and he sprang up just in time to grab the smaller one and pull her from the track. The oilier girl was thrown 20 feet and No. 14, the fast train stopped after it struck her. , John Lore, of'Cedarville, an eye witness to the accident said:, • “ I was in a buggy and came to the little harness shop at Sterrett’s elevator. I was on the south side of the track and saw the girls across the street. The train going eaBtwas standing clear across the crossing and the engines were about 80 feet apart,or maybe not quite solar. The east bound engine was across the sidewalk about 20 feet. There were two men sitting on the pilot of the west bound train and one of the men said to the girls to •“ Come on through,” The biggest girl did not seem to want to talk.. She turned i;owurrd~the-wire fence; and—stoed- there a few minuses and then turned again facing the train going to Col­ umbus, and then a big man with blue overalls and jacket and cap on standing on the ground near the engine, said, “ Come on,” and the girls looked at each other, and he said, “ Come on” again. The girls then started. -They came across the street at an angle and thiHman said something more when the largest girl stared back. The two men told them to come on. They went on and .when they goj: between the two engines on the south track the steam popped- off on one of the engines and just about that time I heard the passenger train whistle. When the steam blew off the girls started to run, when I saw one' of the men grab the smaller girl and pull .her back and the.other man tried to grab the larger one but missed her, when,the train Btriick her. Ttwasn't more than two or three seconds from the time the steam blew off until the train struck her. The train was across the crossing when I drove up and J was there 6 or 10 minutes.' If the men had let.tho girls alone they would have waited, as the larger one did not seem to want to cross.

COLLEGE COMEDY. The two plays given at the opera house last Friday evening, by the members of the Philadelphian and Philosophic literary societies, were well received by the audience, and were two very creditable performan­ ces, The house was well sold put and a handsome sum realized by each society. The opening perfor­ mance was “ Eh? What is it?” and it served as a very amusing sketch. The comedy “ Ali Tangled Up” was one of tlie best home talent perfor­ mances seen on the local stage. The ports were certainly well assigned as aU the characters were excellently portrayed. The music for the even­ ing was furnished by the K. of P. band. The audience was more than pleased with the’ performances and it Is to be hoped that next year something a little heavier will be undertaken. Mr. WoodbridgeUstick sang two vocal solos that were weU applauded. Mr UBtiok’s songs are welcome by CedarvUle audiences. Editor Blair, -wife and daughter spent Sunday with Mrs. Jane Satter­ field.
