T o > hk V otxbs ox? G ke :; ke C ounty t~ Will be a .■axuUilafe for tbe Republican nomination for State Representative, to i»o voted at. the Republican Primary on May Ktll; next. . I am a Republican and stand in support of the principles em- .bodxed in the Republican platform. Have no boodle to distri­ bute but will make the fight open and above board and If elect­ ed will be controlled by no “ gang” or “ political boss’ * but will, to the best of my ability, represent the people—merchant,, farmer, manufacturer, and laborer. Trusting myselt to your judgment I am yous, Orvylle R. Smith Employes of the Pennsylvania railroad at Pittsburg have been or­ dered to refrain from the use of to­ bacco while on duty ar least and also have been requested to break themselves completely of the habit if they can possibly do so. Appli­ cants for positions with the road are now being questioned very closely regarding tobacco and within the past few days scores who admitted themselves confirm tobacco users were refused positions. An yet the order has been applied only to office forces and to those handling passen­ ger trains and that too much smok­ ing hurts those who work in the offices. An ordinary broom may cost as mUeh as a $1 m a few months,accor­ ding to the prediction of the large manufacturers of this commodity in South Indiana. Factories are report­ ed to be offering three times the normal price for broom com and find it an extremely scarce article ; even at that figure. It is stated that with the supply now on hand, if an equal division could be made, there is only enough bri om corn in tho country to suppy two brooms to each famiy and the next, harvest is months away. Many farmers, on i eouraged by tne prevailing highest prices will supplant other crops . this year with broom corn. A daughter was born to Mr. and Sire. R. P. McLean, .Sabbath.

Il1 J For one reason and thin alone, tho j Herald would sanction the passage of the “ Dean bill” , as introduced in the Senate so that when the mea­ sure was up for passage in the House Representative Lewis would have to show his hand us to the “ neutral” position between the “ drys” and the “ wets” This measure is the only one tbal the liquor forces are anxious to have passed at presentWhich would kill tho effect of the Rosa county local option law in "dry ’ ’ counties. It willlie remembered that during the campaign m November .1908 it was charged that Lewis had been nominated by the “wots” m fact tho saloon keepers in Xenia were work­ ing in the open tor him at tho reg­ ular election. The Herald prepared a list of ques­ tions and mailed them In a register­ ed letter to Mr. Lewis, asking his position as to the charges that the saloonkeepers had financed his cam­ paign. The candidate ignored the questions knowing that any more agitation just previous the ejection would probably mean his defeat. The following are two of the ques- tlons submitted: During the recent Republican party primary, did you accept tlie support of the liquor in - terests to secure your nomi nation? “ Did not these interests contribute finances towards your campaign?” Now that the Dean bill has been so close to reaching the House we have inside information that Lewis has been sleeping between hyster­ ical fits, m knowing that he cannot vote and please both sides. To vote with the temperance peo­ ple he will betray those who put up tiie mouey for his campaign. One cannot imagine the feelings “ our representative” miist have exper­ ienced the past few days The Herald is tully aware that Lewis has tho liquor interests to care for when vital questions come up demanding his vote. Mr. Lewis knows well that we have authentic information and proof tnafc ho was elected by the ilqs^r element on money raUcd by tho «*iloon»keepers of Xenia. Ha b a a certain that we himself that ho “ sold out1* When ho came out for a county office a few years ago and withdrew before tho day of tho primary. Ridgway Fine Not Reported. If the fines amounting to $400 againstO. M. Ridgway, the druggist have been paid, Mayor Andrew fail­ ed to so report them at the last meet­ ing of council. It is well known that Mr. Ridgway has claimed that “ his” Mayor would “ pigeon hole” the papers at the proper time. As the mandate and syllabus were mailed about i.wo weeks ago from the Clerk “ of Sup­ reme Court's office lu Columbus to Mayor Andrew, It cannot be denied that ho has not yet been officially notified. While the Mayor and tho drug­ gist had come disagreement hack, it is known now that tho wrinkles have been ironed our and every thing running smoothly. A confer­ ence on Sunday two weeks ago in tho drugstore between themayor and others ia said to have resulted in a peace compact and better under standing for tho future. Tho gangs “ protege” wan on his way to the gathering but the sudden appear­ ance of another parts* on the street about that time caused hun to use extra effort to keep from turning in where the clan had gathered. NARROW ESCAPE. Erafcino Townsiey, son of Mr, Arthur Townsiey, had a narrow es­ cape from being killed lust Sabbath afternoon when he fell from a freight train, on which ho was stealing a ride from Wllberforce to Ctxlarviliiv He, together with Har­ rison Deck. walked to Willicrforee and attempted to ride back on a freight train. The Deck boy jumped off before tho train had gamed any speed but young Townsiey made no attempt to alight until near town. In some manner ho lost his balance and fell striking bis head against the ties. Hugh Marshall happened along soon after and found the young man m an unconscious state In the mid­ dle of the track, He was taken to tho office dl Dr. E. (3. Oglenboo where he received medical treat­ ment and later to tho home of his jgrandfather, Mr. Tra Townsiey. It was found that his head was badly ! cut and bruised uo Veil as one hand badly injured His face was ground with the gravol and one or two teeth broken. No serious complica­ tions have developed. Officer Kennon Offers Resignation. Council mot m regular session Monday evening, all members being present. The rep oris of-the differ­ ent committees weio read and ap­ proved and all claims and salaries allowed. The Mayor’s report showed that $0.00 had been collected during the month for fines and licenses. It wan expected that tho Ridgeway fine would be reported as collected at this meeting but such was' not the case. The mayor also recommended in his report that the oridances be re- codifieed. The members objected to this as such a task was completed by the outgoing administration. The mayor stated that ho could not tell anything about tho ordinances and wanted some one to cod if,.* them that knew their business. As the ordinances as codified by Attorney W. L. Miller, are still in the bands ot the printer nothing could he done. •Mr. Pollock was appointed a com­ mittee of one to look jtfter this work. The Clerk was asked to notify the the newly elected Police Justice, officialy of his election. The question of new fire extin­ guisher for the department was up for discussion but the cost of the same was to greatto be undertaken at this time. The fire. committee was instructed to get information and prices on a spray nozzle as such a thing was badly needed by the de­ partment, nothing of the kind ever having- been owned by the v age. 1 The resignation of W. R. Kennon was read; by a vote of four to two, council refused to accept It. Stew­ art, Pollock, Shroadea, Caldwell voted m the negative, while Irvine and McFarland voted in tho affirm­ ative, Mr. Kennon gave the con­ dition of hiajiealth and business reasons as the cause of his resigning after having served in this capacity for ten years. However he still re­ mains as engineer of Hie fire depart­ ment and has promised council that, he will sleep in the mayor’s office so as to be at hand when analarm is turned in. Council will furnish a cot. While council refused to acr eept the resignation there is nothing watchman. Council also gives him the use of a telephone in ids residence. Several times during tho meeting, motions tor adjournment were off­ ered and seconded but always defeated. Finally a motion to this effect was carried. A STATEMENT. It is being stated that I have been brought out as a candidate for State Representative by Mr, Jesse Tay­ lor. The statement is absolutely groundless. I ain in the fight to stay and am not “ backed” by Mr. Tay­ lor or any other man with wlom gossip has or may connect me. • Orvylle R. Smith. DistributionOf Tax Collections. County Treasurer R.

NurseryFor Mayor Andrew. The American Issue, tho official organ of the State and National Anti-Saloon League has the follow­ ing to say concerning Mayor Andrew as chief executive ot the village: . “ If the newspaper of Oedurvillo toll the truth, that Greene County village has a mayor who should be in a nursery rather than at the head of a municipal administration. He ad­ mits bis inability to perform tho du­ ties of the office and when taken to task for not enforcing the law, sim­ ply protests he does not know any. tiling about tho law. Why such a nonentity wants to be mayor Is a mystery and the fact that such a man is elected shows that the vot­ ers of the town must have been thinkidg of something olse when they elected 1dm, “ Cedarville will have to put up with this incompetent .unless the black or Wilson hill Is made a law. Other Ohio towns have incompet­ ent mayors and a law is needed under which such officers .may he re­ moved” . PRICESSPEAK FORTHEMSELVK.

J, J. Downing, Xenia O. Mr. Robert C. Watt lias been named as a member of the Federal mmmrnmmmmmmMm in Cincinnati. While the position is a complimentary one yet a man must sacrifice his business and few excuses as to absence are recogniz­ ed. When the Houso passed the Eltson merger bill Tuesday, Re­ presentative Frank Woods, Republican, characterized .the move as the “ boldest, rawest steal that tho legislature has jias- mul jii years” . Greene County, of course was “ represented” in a manner that would bring shame to any county. J'. E. Lewis who has lieeu drawing $l,G0Uof tho public’ s money yearly as a salary to “ misrepresent” the people, voted with the phone trust and against the interests of tho people. The vote on the bill was 59 to 60, , » * The daily papers state that the “ lobby” was the largest ever known in the legislature balls.' Tho Plerpont Morgan millions were at stake on one side and tho rights of the public on the other. Enough members were “ convinced” by the phone trust that the bill become a law. Members were voted like she.ep under the guard of a watch. More than one vote - was called in awhisper, the guilty representative being asham­ ed to have his friends know win re he stood. The bill as passed does away with telephone competition and means that the public must pay the price. No representative in that assembly can offer the public an acceptable excuse for supporting such ameasure,.and we do not expeet to hear from our “ representative” , J, E. Lewis for the more his action is stirred, the more the voters of the county are ashamed. Tho only hope the public has now to bo protected from this octopus, should the bill go through the Senate, is that Governor Harmon will exercise his veto power.
