Bound Over To Court. At The whole bunch of politicians known as the' “ gang’' or o rg a n isa tion TK.ns n ow b^on bf>- fore Mayor Thomas' of Jamestown. The second member of the political firm was tried twice for the illegal sale of liquor and now comes the others, T . B . Andrew, J, H . Andrew and Andrew Jackson for, assault and battery. The cases of Karlh Bull and W . W . Northup against these men for assault and battery on the day of the supposed R e; publican primary came up f dr hearing on Tuesday ,before His Honor of Jamestown. There was only testimony taken in one case, that of Karlh Bull vs. T . B . Andrew. The witness­ es called were W . W . Northup, R . F . Kerr and J. S. Brown. Mr. Andrew did not offer any testimony and all that the Mayor could do was to bind him over to the Probate Court in the sum of $300. Messrs. J. H . Andrew and Andrew Jackson asked to be bound over to iaieisatne~courfc; I t was a peculiar incident too that His Lord-ship, the Grand Duke of High-Ball-ton,. Justice of the Peace and Sergeant-at-Arms, who Was not subject to arrest would ask to be bound over. The State was represented by M , R . Snodgrass of Xenia and the defendants by W . F . Orr and J. C. Foley, the editor- in-chief of the “ gangs” official organ, the Record, that dis­ tributes the Herrick slush in defense of George B . Cox and the Brannock law. Mr. Orr was supposed to look after the criminal side of the. cases and Foley the political side. A t times it was hard to tell whether Mr. Andrew was being tried for assault and battery or whether the Editor of the Herald was being tried as to his politics. I t was a good chance for the “gang” editor to take an'occassional rap at the Herald. This of course only, tickled the “ gang” and the more they are pleased the more the Goat gets. TAFT VS. COX. Secretary Taft’s utterances at Ak­ ron last Saturday, where be spoke in the interest of the Republican state tickets, was so positive against the Cox organization in HamUton coun­ ty, that it will he applied to imany other courtties to local organizations thafchavd a hold 011 public affairs and are using it for selfish ends. This is tbo year that the spirit of indepen­ dence seems to run rampant and when such a man as Secretary Taft, who is considered the mouthpiece of our nation’ s Chief Executive, advo­ cates the doctrine of revolt against corruption, the voters in favor of honest government who have fhere­ tofore voted along party lines be­ cause they were too timid to resist the plea of their party’s organization, will no doubt brace themselves to meet the issue and for once vote as their conscience dictates, ^he Press predicts sweeping changes at the election this fail.—W.

V, . c . * beingralledat by the political Bosses as a traitor and renegade; from hav­ ing no one to defend him from in­ sulting attacks in the partisan press, the man who now dares tovote as he sees fit in municipal elections—the Independent Voter—today has the sanction of the foremost political leader and statesman in the world— Theodore Roosevelt. While it is too much to expect that we have come at- a single houhd to the political plane occupied by the English cities,- where men vote with absolute disregard of national poli ti­ cal affiliations, it is not too much to say that never again will the party- cursed, boss-ridden cities of the United States be in thraldom so deep and hopeless, to the party and the boss as they Have been prior to this year of grace, 1905. Never again, since the American people have had set before them the splendid examples of men like Theo­ dore Roosevelt, Joseph W. Folk, WilhamTravers Jerome, John Wea­ ver apd a dozen lesser ltgli ts in both parties, men who, In and out .of office have boldy preached the gospel of independence of party in. munici­ pal elections, will they hesitate to stand by the men who regard their duty to the people as more sacrod than their allegiance to the party boss; who put personal honesty be­ fore party fealty; who regard a crooked transaction at the expense, of the taxpayers as grave a crime as they would were it at the expense of a business associate. With all due acknowledgement to the eminent services of President Roosevelt wlthiu the last four years, services which have made him the most colossal international figure,of the times, we hold to the Opinion that this latest stand which he has taken in the'interests of independent political thought and action, especi­ ally in municipal elections, is quite the greatest service in all his re­ markable career. He holds equally in contempt in New York state the Murphyaand Platts, the Udells and McOarrens; in Pennsylvania, the Durharas and Pe roses, and in Ohio the only boss o' stellar magnitude, George B. Cox .A Cincinnati. He has held up to ridicule the rule of the bosses that no man can he in good standing in his party if he dares scratch a name from the boss-named ticket, He has advanced the new teaching in municipal politics that he is the best party man who will not permit the sanction of Ills own influence to be given to notoriously bad nominations simply to be able to makq the silly boast, “ I voted her straight.” I t is a good doctrine', ai£t this, the day of its announcement, marks the beginning of a revolution in American ihunieipal politics. It is not to be presumed that Mr. Cox in Ohio, Mr, Penrose in Pennsyl­ vania, Mr. Dunham in Philadelphia and Messrs. Murphy and Odell in Now York city will give up the ghost without a mortal combat between the forces of good and evil. Many a specious argument will they ad­ vance to deceive the politically un­ wise. Many a wire will they pull to the bewilderment of good men. Many asupposedly, uprightbusiness man will alighn himself with them to enjoy a while'longer the graft which will cease with the undoing of the boss. There will be many backslidings and partial defeats. Thore will come times when even the strougest-harted will he inclined to count the coat and wonder what it is all worth, / But the sinificant fact is that the issue ha<5been defined and the battle Is now oh. The standard of politi­ cal freedom has beon raised and ho Who Hunks that the final, decisive battle will not end in victory for the right does not know the American people. The moral principle—that of which we hear so much tiiese days—-may bo latent—may seem to be totally lacking for long periods, but when the issuo between right and wrong is squarely drawn it is equivalent to expressing a doubt as to the perpetuity of free institutions and the fight of the people to rule to say that the wrongWill ultimately triumph. One of the great daily newspapers carried a cartoon in a recent issue in which the president is portrayed in the d'Ual role of recruiting' officer anq school ‘ teacher. Prominent Americans are pictured ns recruits, or now pupils, and to one ot them just entering the ranks the president directs the following taken from a recent speech he made; “ The worst' evils that affect our local government arise from and are the invonitahle result of the mixing up of the city affairs with the party politics of the nation and the state, The linos upon \yltich national part­ ies divide have no necessary con­ nection with the business of the city. 8ueli connections open the way to countless schmnes of public plunder and civic corruption,” —Bprlngfleld Sun. Congressman A, R.

He states that he will not campaign for a governor shoulder to shoulder with, brewers, distillers and the liquor league of Ohio. He delends the Anti-Saloon League, in that it stands for the good of every child in Ohio, for every home, for every man that has fallen by the way. A part of the letter is as follow s:' - “ If Myron T. Herrick is against Boss Cox and against the predomin­ ance of the liquor interests, why is there any doubt about the matter? If he were man enough to repudia1 Cox and _bpSBism_iii ringing term A ALL and to say that he despised the ma chinations of the Liquor league the people of Ohio wonlu e lecth in jby the biggest majority ever given a governor, but he ISweak. I f Herrick is not the liquor candidate why is every brewer and saloon keepers organization backing him so en­ thusiastically and .contributing so heavily to the campaign? I know the temperance people ‘sometimes vote under a misapprehension, bat experience shown that the liquor in­ terests always knew their man. . If he is their man he is notmy man “ I have no patience with a man who has nothing to say when accused of being in league with a corrupt boss and a vicious ring,” HOWTOVOTE A MIXED TICKET.

" THE" SAFEST WAY. First—Do not put a cross mark at the head of the ticket, but place your cross'’mark before the pame of every candidate for whom you desire to vote.

It is the duty of the state to give each future citizen an opportunity im ieurn to read, it ts equally its duty to give each citizen an oppor­ tunity to use that power wisely for himself and the state, Wholesome literature can be furnished to all the readers in a community ata fraction of the cost necessary to teach them to read and the power to read may then become a meanB to a life-long education. A library is an essential part of a broad system of education, and a community should think it is as disgraceful to be without a well- conducted library as to be without a good school. Each town needs a library to fur­ nish more practicoin reading for the little folks in school; it needs it to give the boys and girls who have -learned-to-roadTirfcaste orwiiojesome literature' that Informs and Inspires ; it needs it as a center for an intellec­ tual and spiritual activity that shall leaven the whole community and make healthful and inspiring themes the burden ot the common thought- substituting, by natural methods, clean conversation and literature for petty gossip, scandal and oral aiid printed teachings iu vice.' > Libraries are needed to furnish the incentive and the opportunity for wider study to the pupils of the schools; to teach them “ the science and art of reading for a purpose:’ to give the boy or girl with hidden talent the chance to discover and do- Velope it; to. give to the mechanic and artisan a chance to know what their ambitious follows are doing; to give to men and women, weary and worn from treading a narrow round, excursions in fresh and de­ lightful fields; to give to clubs for study and amusement material for better work and, laskbut net least,, to give wholesome employment to all classes for those idle hours that wreck more lives than ally other cause.. ATTEND THE MEETINGS. I t is specially essential that those living in the township should attend the different'meetings arranged for by the Ahti-Saloon league in the in­ terests of local option. These meet­ ings will do addressed by some of the best talent in the state and will be worth your time and attention. Again your presence will have great influence with 'the cause. Talk it where ever you are and lets show the county and state that a “ dry” town is Just what we wanjt. FOR FARMERS ONLY. Bad in principle, bad in policy, bad in politics, is Governor Herrick’ b action in vetoing the $95,000appropri­ ated by the' Ohio legislature for im­ provements at the Ohio College of Agriculture, for Bpeclal work at the Ohio Experiment Station,' and for the State Dairy and State Horticul­ ture associations. And he will like­ ly discover the truth’ of this state­ ment. Ohio farmers hav6more than once given proof that they estoem their personal rights above party preferences.—Breeder’s Gazette. GIVEN A RECEPTION. Monday evening when Messrs. J. H . "Wolford and It. F. Kerr, stopped off the tram they were given a rous­ ing reception by a number of colored boys who had been recruited by a member of the “ gang.” There were cheers for Herrick and jeers for the Anti-Saloon league. After the boys had had their fun they were handed out the cigars by the “ ganslesr” for doing his bidding, Make Year Grocer Give You Guaranteed Creamof Tartar Bakina Powder AlumBakingPow­ ders interfere with digestionandareun- healthful Avoidthealum. • Secretary Laylin Hears Protest The protest filed with the Board of Elections asking that the ticket nominated at the recent primary election be set aside, alleging fraud, was referred to the Secretary of State? Lewis Lavlin, by the the Board from the fact that the mem- bers could not agree. The vote was two and two, -the Repu­ blicans to let it remain and the Democrats to throw it/ out. On Monday Messrs, J. H , Wolford and R . F . Kerr, accom­ panied by Hop. Horace Ankey, of this county, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, called upon Mr. Laylin in behalf of the protestors. Mr. Laylin fully explained the case in that there was no law to keep a ticket off the ballot, regardless of the manner i f was nominated, He stated that so long as the ticket was sent in by the central committee it would have to be recognized if it had been stolen a hundred times, Hfi t.nlri t.hpm that. fchfiv hnr? rlrmn riorhf, in rmf.tmo' nnf. nn_ ---r j ' —p— w O r- --- T3— ■-g,.i—r—«■■ other ticket and at the same time expose the methods used in nominating the one that would have to be recognized. I t is expected that a law governing such cases will be passed this winter, providing that the “Boss” rule is downed?” “Bosses,” like anarchists, want no law. That matters have not been moving so smooth for, the “Bosses” in the state was evidenced in that Mr. Lalyn has been called upon to settle just such cases as went from this county, in most every county in the state. The gist of the situation is the same as last spring when M. R . Snodgrass, then candidate for Common Pleas Judge, against C. H . Kyle, was turned down by the County Central Committee, on a resolution asking that the spriiig primary be held under the“law. Had such been done Charles Kyle would never have received the nomination or Andy Jackson been central committeeman. Thats why ^“Bosses” defeat the measures introduced compelling all political parties to hold their primaries under the law. -When this is done there will be no ballots put in. the judge’s shoes, pockets, or taken from the box and changed while the candidate is being placed under arrest, and not until then. . , LOCALOPTIONMEETINGS.
