Hartman is proprietor of the Home Clothing .Company and has gained wide circle of friends since locating here last fall. The Herald extends congratula­ tions to the happy couple. (Kuo is becoming thoroughly aroused over a number of mayors who rc-fueo to enforce law. Therois now no operative statute by which a mayor can ho removed who violates his oath of office and refuses to do his duty. Such a mayor may give aid and comfort to law violators, may he responsible for lawlessness, but there isiupower to remove him, The people of a municipality ore at the mercy of a law defying ele­ ment whoso activities are increased because it controls tho chief execu­ tive instead of being controlled by him. To overcome this defect and to make it posSiblo to remove a derelict official from office two hills are uow pending in the legislature. Qne is the Black bill, No. 11, and the other the Wilson hill, No 13. The bills provide that when a mayor fails to perform his duty and refuses to enforce the law either the governor or judge of the court can remove him. One of these bills should become a law. The good citizens of the state are signing petitions and writing letters to the legislators asking and demanding such a law. Because the mayor of Bridgeport did not enforce the law and actually aided the lawless element, it "was necessary for the governor to send state troops to the town at the ex­ pense to the state of $20,000, to say nothing of the disgrace. Because the mayor of Zanesville sympathizes with the liquor element and shielded them in -their lawless­ ness, i t was necessary for the gover­ nor’s office to call the mayor dn the carpet, but although there have been several dynamite outrages iu that city and no prosecutions, there is no law by which the mayor can be removed for Iris encouragement of lawlessness. The past year has demonstrated that in a number o f Ohio cities and towns there arc mayors so complete­ ly under t h e ,control of the liquor element that blind tigers and boot­ leggers are permitted to ply their trade without official hindrance and The result is a disregard for law ‘which is a menace to government a n d for which a speedy and drastic remedy is nowdomauded. What valid reason can any legis­ lator give for refusing to support such a meritorious measure? Is there a member of either house or senate who is not willing to do everything in his power to make tile law supreme over all transgressors? Surely the brewers and liquor dealers will aid in the passage of either the Black or Wilson bill for do they not proclaim that they want the lawless saloon keepers curbed as it is that class which is causing the trade bo much trotfble? The Ohio brewers, through their vigilance committee, declare they are hampered iu closing divos and driving out disreputable gnloonists because of compacts which exist be tween lawless dealers and grafting authorities. How can the brewers, if they are in earnest, refuse to lend their influence to a measure which would break this hand? Not long ago the chief of police of Cincinnati declared he did not pro­ pose to act “ as the brewer’s agent in assisting to nviet law breaking dive-keepers.” The chief would also probably refuse to act against the dive-keepers at the behest of the temperance forces. Butauppose the mayor of Cincinnati knew* that if ho did not enforce the law he stood in danger of losing position, do you not supposo ho would put the pres­ sure on his chief of police or get a new one if the present one failed to 1 livery good citizen wants tho law enforced. In a large per cent of tho cities and towns of this state the peo plo have abolished the saloons. They have said that intoxicants shall no more bo sold as beverages. In a number of these towns the mayors who aro conservators of the peace and in control of tho police, refuse to enforce tin; law. The lawless ole- merit encouraged by those in official place has become positively anarch- 1st to lit its tendency In a great majority of the towns the local option law is as well en­ forced as any other. Tho conclusion is that where the law-is not enforced the trouble is not with (ho law but most pleasing features of tho enter­ a l , the mayor. Ho may bo a | tainment.

The former entered on his first term lost Aug­ ust and it Is not likely to have any opposition. The latter is serving ins second term and to date no one else signified any intention of coming for this office. M. E. Brotherhood Entertains. The M. E. Brotherhood entertain­ ed about fifty members and friends in the organization’s rooms Tuesday evening In honor of Washington’s Birthday. The rooms had been taste­ fully decorated with the National colors in recognition of the event that was to be celebrated.

Robert Hilliard in “AFool There’’ as will be the attraction at tho Fair­ banks Theatre, Springfield, Tuesday March 2. The play is the work of Porter Emerson Browne. It deals with two women and a man, and and moral destruction which a thoroughly bad woman can work. Recently there was presented in m Now York a play of tremendous force and great technical efficiency, whereto a similar idea wuspresented but worked out between two men and a woman. In, this play the ef­ fect of immorality was centered in the women. This play has also heen a great success and is presented under ;the direction of Frederic Thompson. In “A Fool There Was” the brunt- of the Wrong doing is borne by the man, and in this re­ spect tho eternal triangle is reserved SupportingMr. Hilliard is a cast of extraordinary names and ability. Tho Fairbanks Theatre, Spring- field, will have for Its attraction on Saturday, March 5th “The Soul Kiss” tho novelty song success torpsicborean triumph. After an entire year on Broadway with visits to but a few of tho principal cities of tho country, this much talked of musical comedy is making a tour of tho country, that, will extend from coast to coast with tho moot complete organization and scenic equipment that has visited this sec­ tion in years.

Ridgway, it falls to tho State Auditor to have Mr. Ridgwayput on for tho Dow tax, amounting to$1,(174.73. i It is expected that Mr, Ridgway jwill fight tho collection of this amount in the courts. If the courts hold that tho Btftte Auditor was justified in this move Mr. Ridgway will bo called upon for quite a sum of money, Tho village gets two fines amounting to $hjU, and forty per cent of the Dow taw» over $100, mak­ ing a total of $800 that will go into the village treasury. This may seem ft iittle expensive for doing business in the community bid; Mr, Ridgway gets it all back. The consumer pays, the bill. Mr. Walter L. Doan, is now be­ fore the people with his petition seeking signers lor the office of County .Auditor, although he only took his seat last fall. The law is such that a man must begin IDs campaign for a second term within a few months after he is inducted Into office. Mr. Dean is no stranger in the auditor’s office he having spent several years at this work as deputy. He has made a good official and we are sure that the. public will give him a liberal support oh the customary second term. News About Tfe Courts.

At the recent meeting of the Republican Clubs in Dayton there gathered the Congressional committee of this district. It has leaked out that the meeting was smoothly planned by Taylor in order that ho could “boost" his own cam­ paign. Those present did not think that Taylor’s course at 'that time was m harmony with his published platform and (he meeting came to an abrupt ending. Taylor had spent most of his time lambasting Morns Eisenman ft citizen of Jamestown.
