The exposure con­ nected with the passing of the hill shows tha t an unlimited amount ofmoney must have been used to “ convince" enough members to vote for the measure. - The “ lobby" ia said to have boon the largest that aver gathered m the Capitol to secure favorite legislation. Attempts have been made to steal the canals and secure public grants for private gains, but the public now has witnessed the first attempt of a legislative body to empower a million dollar telephone trust to force its hand Into the pocket of every telephone patron and a t the same time wield a power towards crnshiug out siockholders in the smaller companies. A meeting of the independent managers was held a few days ago in Columbus to devise some way of securing protection for their patrons and stockholders. The meeting was a unit in openly attacking the Elson merger bill and the Senate is asked to give the measure a decent burial, „ Thesemanagers realize the acute situation, and have banded for the good Of the service. The public is asked to lend its support and bring pressure on members of the legislature. Such a law would drive out local companies th a t have entered the field and given the Hell competition, and the public a good service a t a rea- sonabie cost. -■ ■ ft is useless to go back ten years ago and compare the telephone ” service in. the state with th a t of today. The cost of a telephone - then was three dollars a month, How it Is two dollars for business houses and a d illar or a dollar and a quarter for residences. The toll for messages to nearby cities was twenty-five or fifty cents, today i t is ten, fifteen and twenty-five cents. The public realizing these facts lflust now consider the kind of men that are responsible for this serious situation. Back of it all is a Hew York millionaire who is afraid to compute his income. He sees a vision of one company, one rate and one stockholder— Morgan. The public as a rule cannot get along without a telephone. I t is a necessary adjunct for successful business. I t is also needed m cr.se of sickness, death and convenience about the home. An in­ creased rate and toll means th a t this million dollar trust will take the additional increased price out of the pocket of each and every patron. All the blame should not be levied upon a wealthy citizen tha t ib able to Command th a t which he desires. The people of th is state have chosen representatives in the legislature to protect their in­ terests, b a t occasionally this trust is broken. "When the House by a vote of 59 to 50passed the Elson bill, each member of theflfty- nlue broke this trust with the public. Greene county, which has m the pact been so ably represented as to command attention of the entire state, Is now seen with her banner disgraced, besmirched and trailing in the dust, all from the act of James E. Lewis, our “misrepresentative," who voted w ‘th the fifty and nine under the lash of a corrupt lobby, H o f * tingle man th a t voted for this m*a*arah*a been able to give * to support the bid. Hoes this explain why the fifty and nine are Silent? A t the coming primary James E . Lewis will ask for a second term . I t is up to the stockholders and patrons of each of the tele­ phone companies to defend themselves. I f you think Mr. Lewis has represented your views, It Is your duty hot only to vote for him bu t to work for him. I f not, it then becomes your duty m self protection to send a more competent and responsible citizen to tho legislature from Greene comity than J . E , Lewis, Enumerators Are Appointed. The enumerator's for this district have been named. Sirs. W, E, P u tt will take the census in the cor­ poration. In the township, Mr. Harry Ken- non, $on of Mr. D. M.

F O R EGGS Saturday Only. O. M . Townsley, THU CORNER (1ROCER. (Electric Lights JUT PRICE, A well known district and state politican made tho statement a few days ago tha t “Every time Jesso Taylor opened his mouth he put his foot in it." The politican was discussing the recent “ vindication" th a t Taylor has brought himself through his own press bureau and the paid mat­ ter tha t is appearing in the various newspapers in the district. The publishers have no desire to kill the “ goose tha t lays the golden egg" and only want more time ,to get in on the Taylor appropriation of MO,000 th a t has been set aside for “vindication." Last week the press bureau sent out a letter, “Taylor Vindicated" and every linn of it is paid matter. The object is to counteract the ef­ fect of a statement published in the Herald in October 1908 over George Baker’s name th a t Taylor had been seen a t the depot hotel in Xenia in an Intoxicated condition. ’ After working more than a year the Taylor forces have succeeded in convincing Mr. Baker that he was mistaken, although the young man in his affidavit states that he did sign the statement published m the Herald. The question now is, was Baker “mistaken" then or now! Last Saturday Will Baker, a brother who resides near Yellow Springs, made the statement m the presence of two witnesses that the retraction puzzled him. He could not understand such a move as his brother had frequently related the Taylor incident in his own home, months before Jesse became a can­ didate for congress. There are a number of facts that the press bureau will have an op­ portunity to explain for “ vindica­ tion" a t the proper time, Taylor’s main, object in Keeping up strife now is th a t other candidates will not care to enter the race and lie can have the nomination for the “ask­ ing."

The result is that there will be three large lights about the depot and the interior will be lighted In an up to date manner, thus doing away with the ding; oil lamps th a t have been in service for so many years. The Improvement was greatly needed and the public appreciates tho change. A COMMUNICATION. Wl»t Became The Lucy Lee Concert Company a t the opera house Tuesday evening delighted a large audience. I t was- unfortunate th a t the fire alarm in­ terrupted the program. Miss Leo was in the midst of a very Interesting reading when the fire alarm sounded and the*audience arose in an attempt to leave the building. .A number of cooler beads succeeded in convincing the audi­ ence th a t there was no immediate danger. Miss Lee stated to the Herald tha t she did not think i t would be justice to take up the story after being in­ terrupted and her explanation as to “Dudley” can only bo understood by those who heard tho first part of the revival story among the cow­ boys, Dudley, having settled m the West after some diffienlty in the in the East,’ took up with tho cow­ boy life. H is part in tho revival with his frontier friends is under­ stood up to tho time he sang the hymn, when a lady from the audi- enco recognizing liis voice asked to succeed the regular organist. Dudley recognized the lady a t once as a former sweetheart from the East. The revival is a seconda­ ry point in tho story from this on. In the cours* of time Dudl*y and the Eastern lady renewed thsir friendship, were happily married and returned to their former friends and acquaintances in the East.
