C E D A R V IU E . O H IO . FR ID A Y , M AY 12, 1905. PRICE $1.00 A Y E A R . TO The hearing of J . ( ’. Barbee, charged witli assault and battery by Karl Bull, was heard before Magis­ trate Wolford Tuesday morning. As the defendeii t d id no t call any witnesses or did not go on the stand himself, testimony was taken from .the states witnesses which resulted . In Mr. Barber being bond over to the Probate Court in the sum of $300, T. B. Andrew gave security for this , amount. The defence never' subpoena his witnesses un til a few m inutes be­ fore the' tim e set for the hearing. A t the conclusion of the examination of th§’*witness^ th e case was rested. The first to be examined was K arih Bull who related tlie la s sau lt and ba tte ry and how i t came about. On cross examination the attorney en­ deavored to show th a t the testimony of the witness d idn’t correspond with w h a t was stated in the la s t .Is­ sue of the Herald telling ‘‘How It happened,,’ This issne was then of­ fered as evideuce. The defence tried to show t h a t because the article re- fered to did pot cover a lltu o ground tha t our testimony had th a t we were wrong some place. The witness stated th a t in w riting the article it was not the, intention to give a ll the details until the day of the hearing. I t would have been any easy m atte r to have sta ted la st week somethings we didn ’t, this of course was only in Mr. Barber’s favor. The tea l object in bringing this po in t up was th a t a certain newspaper could have a “ hold” on us in always proving that what we say is a lie, a n d no t that i t would have any bearing oh the merits of the case. Mr. David B radfute testified th a t he saw most-of the affair and told of the defendant* action on th a t morn­ ing and' th a t he called plaintiff a lia r and a damn liar. Another strong point in hiB testimony was th a t he testified th a t Mr. Barber had told him th a t morning t h a t he was look­ ing fo i-the plaintiff-to- come-along. He s tated th a t Mr. Barber was in a very excited and ang ry mood. The defence atteinped no crossexamina­ tion. ' ~ Mr. Thompson. Crawford testified a s to seeing M r. Barbel’ bn th is morningwhile he was walked around the. defended t, shak ing his first in his face and th a t lie seemed to be ed- deaypring to provoke trouble. Mr. A. Cl. Kyle testified to about the same as did the o ther witnesses. Mr. M.. C. Nagley told abou t the same story an-I th a t Mr. Barber had called thedefendent a lia r and a dam liar and another lia r if ho took It. , Told of defendant following plaintiff around whjle he ’was there, . Mr. John Finney was subpoenaed . but was not called. The following witnesses were sub- poenuod by Mr, Barber j H. A. Bair, C. M. Ridgway, T» B, Andrew, H. A. McLean, J , R. Cooper. Mr. M.' R , Snodgrass represented the stale and made a few rem arks to the court on the case in thafcbeing the most conservative the testimony warranted the Court in binding Mr. Barber o\ t*r to the Probate Court, on tile p a rt of the eharge refering to the assault. Thought the testimony shows th a t there was a battery cont­ inued when the plaintiff was struck with a paper. W . F . Orr represented the defend- ent and.in h is rem arks tried to show th a t there was no Such a th ing as as­ sault ns in this case. H is reference to court decisions were afterwords prunned down by Mr. Snodgrass in his la s t speach. CATALOGUES OUT ,.

ON THE DECLINE. ,A local correspondent to the Springfield Sun has the following in the Monday issue in regard-to music in the public schools: “The question here in the school hoard is music or no music, which has been advocated by the board.

The article was read with Considerable interest, and of course there was a rush for every copy of tho Ho ra ldsen t to th a t town. Those who weto fortunate enough to have a copy .were nearly mobbed by friends, a l t ancious to read w ha t we had to say* The fol­ lowing is what roused toe XenJans: “ Up a t Cedarvllle the prospects are fo r the editorial pen giving way to the heavily leaded editorial sho t­ gun. About a week agrj $ho editor o fth e Cedarvllle Herald, one»of the two rival papers published in th a t vil­ lage, got into an encounter with J , C. Barber, a member of th e school hoard,son account of art article in the Herald which Mr. Barber averred gave a distorted account of the action of the school board. Accord­ ing to the accounts of the imbroglio, given by the offending "editor him- seTf, he merely laughed gaily a t the words of the other when- challenge/! to fight, itev iden tly beirvghlstheory th a t i t does n o t come/w ithin th e editoral sphere to gird on the armor and go forth to Battle to back up an expression of opinion. He does not adhere to th a t school of: journalism which believes th a t an Obituary item should follow comment Upon public officials in logical sequence. Even when bis advovsary called him a liar and dared him to retu rn the compli­ ment, he exhibited a good deal of phlegm and endeavored to pour the soothing balm of calmness upon the t doubled waters. This, however was of no avail, for his adversary was even then clinking the trigger of bis Verbal shotgun, and, according to the editor’s account ©£ 'iis ex­ perience, Mr. Barber strengthened his original expressions b y throwing, in one or two qualifying* words be­ fore the liar, and added th a t any one who would take th a t was an ­ other -liar, thus fu rthe r complicating the situation. By this time others had gathered, and ever and anon some one would attemp t to throw on a few sticks of kindling by Buch re ­ marks as “ K ill h im !” and-similar bon mots, all of which were calcula­ ted to annoy and discourage one*. Mr, Barber then went on to say th a t if the editor over referred to him again in an uncomplimentary vein ho would pay his respects in such a manner that, the'y would have to get out the pape r in a ten t and th a t the editor would have to wear himself In a sling—or words of like import. Tho reports of the struggle are silent as to the final outcome, b u t the case ts to be continued Tuesday inorning.nb the stroke of 10* before Magistrate Wolford, of Cedarvllle, when Mr. Barber must answer to a charge of assault, and battery p re­ ferred by the Herald man, a h d this gives the impression th a t there was more doing in the w ay of pugilistic fire -works than appears in the news­ paper account, This liowover* is not all. ' The vil­ lage of Cedarville can be asfeduistic ns Kentucky when it gets started , and la tte r in the day tho former editor of the rival paper and an a t­ tache of thb same paper m et the Herald man In a grocery, and they a t once suggested th a t they decorate him with a bunch of royal purple memorandums, a t the same time laying off their coats as o>guarantee of good faith . The ihuch-Sought- aftor editor continued his policy of unruffled temper, saying th a th e who fights and runs away isn’t as good as ho who doesn’t fight a t all. A bro th ­ er of this editor came upon the scene however, and, with the sides thus equal, things looked b righ t for a fair contest for the control of delegates, and everything would have gone along nicely if the proprietor of tho store had no t interfered attd pu t an endto tho approaching meeting. As the case has already been carried to the courts, It Is possible th a t the whole affair may have a settlement by arbltrrtlon, bu t Cedar­ ville m ay wish to emulate the father of the country by trying to be first in war, and i t is reasonable to sup­ pose th a t th re will be many gay times m tho village before the ffnat Inquests a te held. Cedarville has two Republican political factions which follow lines parallel to the newspaper factions and altogether the. situation is one pregnant w ith direful results,which may be startling.** JOINT MEETING HELD. A jo in t meeting of the local school board and the township board was held la s t Friday ovohing. The ques­ tion of a joint high-school came up bu t nothing was done. Tho town­ ship hoard asked the local board for a lower ra te than $18 per year per Boxwell studen t bu t a t the Wedncfr day-evening meeting the township board was given the same rate. The rate a t Jamestown is $14 and the township board wanted theirs lowered, * FOURTH PLAGE. The In terstate Oratorical contest held In Monmouth la st Thursday was won by J , M. Devcrs of Depaw University, *This- contest consisted of eleven orators from different Western colleges, the pick of twenty- five thousands^students. - According to the Monmouth Daily* Review we find that'Missouri ranked forth, th is state being represented by Mr. Jasen McMillan, who is a t ­ tending Tarkio college. Ohio was fifth and Illinois seventh. The grades given Mr. MoMillian by the three judges oii thought and composition were 82, 06#, 89; delive­ ry, 96, 92, 93; The subject Df Mr.' McMillan’s oration was “ The Citizen M ilitant” and we take the following from the review : The glory, power and du ty of Amercian citizenship in the never ceasing battle which m ust be waged to maintain our Amercian institu­ tions pure and, undefiled was the burden of “The Citizen Militant*,” ; the discussion of Ja son L. McMillan of Tarkio* Mo. Mr McMillan proved himself a b rillian t speaker and in h is flights of eloquence swept his audience into a realization of the heritage which is possessed by the citizen of this country. “ Self gover­ nment represents the coronation of the citizen. In the evolution of au tho rity the citizen appeared last. He has reached his full sature and stands erect. I n his hand is the im­ perial scepter of universal suffrage; on his brow, the m iter of Amercian manhood. “ That we as a people were origin­ ally free, we owe -to our creator; weather we remain free depends upon ourselves. There are perils to our free institutions more formidable than adversity .' Colled among the flowers of our prosperity is the v iper of an uiulue sence of security. The country stands hi need of brave counsel. We must look for it from the statesman who wishes tp do sfmething for the country. -A scathing condmenation was de­ livered by Mr. McMillan on the ir­ reverence for law which a t present obtains, and the prevalence of lyncli- aw*...^FunfebmenV ’ hc_ declared, “ has come to he not in proportion to the size of the offense b u t ra the r in inverse proportion to the size of the offender. In whn tlies the antidote? Rascality must be opposed by honor. “Automatic goverment is as im­ possible as autocratic. The vision of enduring free institution, unsup­ ported by the. personal concern j and intelligent participation of the citi­ zen, Is a mirage. National potenti­ ality implies individual potentiality, n a tio n a l1decay implies individual d ec ay .' Dangers to a nation are not. alone politicl. They, may confront us in the menacing attitude of capital and labor. Associations embody the combined human selfishness of their individual members. When they become conscious of tholif collective power, this selfishness is readily kindled- Into rapacity. The only al­ ternative and hope of pernament ro- coneilation botweon those two war­ ring monopolies lies in a quickened conscience and an Cnllghted intelli­ gence. -Let each stand staunchly for the reasonable and the rig h t of Industrial peace will be seen retu rn ­ ing across th e troubled waters. “ There are no noxious plants in the soil of free goverment. Our so­ cialism is an Old World importation which originated" in revolt against the arrogantassumptions of a ruliug class system and its twin" tyranny, social caste. Yet le t our higher cit­ izenship inBiBt th a t our representa­ tives shall hold unfalteringly to the genious of our goverment and its founders high intent, and the fires of discontent w ill for lack of fuel A t least, In the b reast of no true son of these fair shores, will the alluring dream of socialism be merged Into the nightmare of anarchy. “ Out? goverment receives its "right to be from the consent of the govern ed, Rich in our free institutions and inciting to rapacity is our heritage of citizenship, yet transmission, un- improverished, is the dept of honor th a t each generation owes to tbe next. Unfaithful to this trtist w© defrUnd of their b irth righ t those th a t follow. “ Under our self government as un­ der no other are the words so grand­ ly tru e : “ No life pan be pure in its purpose and strong in its strife anti a ll life not be purer and .stronger thereby When th is broad princi plo is more fervently felt and persis­ ten tly practiced a broad, generous altruism will prevail over the sp irt, of greed anil oppression.
