SOMETHING GOOD EACIJ DAY Splendid Race Program LARGE PURSES a HARMQf! HOW ONOTHERSIDE FindsIt’s Not Governor's Bely to Interpret Laws. THAT’SQUESTIONFORCOURTS Governor's Celebrated ^Constitution­ al" Vetoes Are Shown Insincere by His Following the Well Estab­ lished-Theory of Law In Removing Newark's Mayor, Along In tlie early- spring of the year, . when the dandelions were swelling in the bud and the nows- ■ papers carried giowing accounts of -what _was going on in the training camps ..of .professional baseball teams, an unregenerate enemy of the people introduced a bill in the legis­ lature giving to the citizens cu Ohio municipalities and townships the right to hold local option elections , on Sunday baseball games. The father of this measure was Randall H, Anderson of Youngstown, and while his bill was looked upon ns more candid than politic, it passed the scrutiny of the attorney general- —who helped ito draft it—and its frankness won votes enough for pas­ sage through, both branches of the legislature. Even members of the' legislature know that baseball is played in OJilo on Sundays and Anderson’s bill tvas intended to remove the stain of out­ lawry, if the majority of a commu­ nity so willed. The Mahoning county statesman, holds to the theory that the open ’breaking of any law tends towards a lessening of ispect for all *law. Judge Harmon slammed that bhse* hall bill back to the assembly with a . blistering message as to its utter un- constltutionality. He supported hjs judicial determination by citing precedents commencing with Cass vs. Dillon, through ex parto Van Ha­ gan, ex parte Falk, down to State ex rel vs, Cowles. Some p re tty fair lawyers pointed out that the governor’s deductions / and conclusions were unsound. I The public began to suspect that the great and good Judson was play­ ing politics, and wondered why he had not put the Question of constitu­ tionality up to the supreme court. His literary bureau sprang to Har­ mon’s defense and maintained that a governor who would take the oath to support the constitution just natural­ ly had to decide against each and any and all Insidious attacks on that citadel of. our liberties. Harmon's oath of office was re­ printed in black-faced type. The sa- credness of the constitution was pointed out. The judicial experience and cabinet service, as well as presi­ dential aspirations . of the governor, were given as reasons why Harmon Was such a good governor. Any man with less legal attainments wasn’t fit to be governor at all, for he wouldn’t be able to ^’support the consltution” through Inability to talk glibly of ex pario Van Hagan and State ex rel vs, Cowles. Found It Mighty Handy. Thereafter Uncle Judeoii tool: the constitution to bed with him o’nights and found it assailed again and again in later measures passed by the leg­ islature. Notably in, the case of t '10 Cleveland grade er.lf Ing bill, which would have saved hutnan lives, hut cost the railroads money to elevate their tracks and the Cincinnati park hilt, which would have permitted the wanton and unconstitutional frolick­ ing of children on unhallowed play­ grounds. But oven a man of Harmon’s broad temperament will tiro in time of playing Wrifiklereid and gathering to his bosom all of the spears aimed at the constitution of the state; and now he, too, has deserted the bastion of the people’s defenses, and the sa­ cred constitution will have to get along as best it can with only the as-th of the cupreine court to protect It from Its enemies, Tho governor’s last Stand in de­ fense of the sacred constitution was taken when Buffalo Bill and Lis In­ dians proposed to profano the Sab­ bath which Harmon bad saved from baseball pollution, by cavorting in breech .clouts and blankets on tlio hills of Oakley, a Cincinnati suburb. The ’’Last Gfaftd" Failed. Having his trunks packed for Char­ levoix the governor ’couldn't in per­ son invoke the law against this <l;v spoiler from the wild west, but he cent a message to the sheriff of Ham­ ilton county and to the mayor of Oakley demanding that they preservo -the sanctity of the lav/ and forbid this Bill person from turning loose for profit his vheoping minions on tM first day of the week. The sher­ iff and the mayor tiorfed tho good governor’s message with the scant courtesy a d< Unguent debtor yields to an urgent notice to ‘-ploaao remit,” Finding himself hut one against many, oM wearying of the struggle, Hflfiaoh dooithkl that tho con* Hmuiod could go hang. There was unspeakable crime com- mlted at Newark, O., which the may. or of that city might, with due dili­ gence, have prevented according to common belief. Stripping the bait from his hook in Charlevoix, Ilarmon hastened homeward and promptly-de. cuIed~?o~suspend mayor of ,’£TiaC city* “Always.” This official action of the governor (which all applaud) was taken under a statute cancenlng the validity of, which there has been dispute for sev­ eral years. And the newspaper dis­ patches from' ■Columbus, under date of July l l , adviso that “the. governor holds to the theory, well established in law, that the presumption is al­ ways in favor of the constitutionality i of a law passed by the legislature. It Is for tho other side—those opposed to the law’s enforcement—-to pick flaws in it If they feel disposed.” O ho! The theory is well estab­ lished iii. law! Presumption is always (note that “always") In favor of the constitutionality of a law passed by the legislature! . It is for “tlie other side"' to pick flaws, eh? Then Uncle Judson wasn’t so fear* : ful th a t. the constitution was being ■ravished after all. Ho was just op- ! posed to parks and playgrounds, and ' to track elevation, and to legalizing i that, which is illegally done every Sunday of the spring, summer and fall in his home city—the playing of baseball games! THIRD PARTY TALK DIES Nothing More Heard of Movement -Which Has Failed to Start. After having had,, a run of some three weeks the third Pjxrty agitation appears to have subsided everywhere save in the editorial office of The Craftsman, a New York publication. ' Third parties are much easier ere ated on paper than they are put into effective organization. There have been a dozen of them In the past two decades that have gone much farther than the recent effort—which was 'going to grab all of the honest, up­ right Democrats and all of tile earn­ est, soulful Republicans, and with this Gideon band sweep tue country a t once. But somehow op another the promoters of third party toiovo- ments never progress much, farther than a mutual admiration society. Out of. the ashes of the old Populist party, some ten or twelve years ago, an enterprising Ohio man named Neff started a tlrfrd party movement, called the Union Reform party, He had an organization in 14 states, and held-one national convention, naming John Seitz of Tiffin for president. But tho party did not live long enough to Count Us votes at the elec- tion, and its creator is now engaged in tho less altruistic but more profit­ able field of endeavor, promoting the interests of »-cent picture shows. There’s no present necessity to her come .alarmed over the imminence of a "strong third party movement.” of the attorney general before he can act. Of course this opinion, gheu by fine Republican official, relieves him —possibly—of a responslb..ity, and may enable him to keep on good terms with both the Columbus car men’s union and the street railway company. If a common inan bad pursued such a course, the average individual would have said a t once that his mo­ tives were exceedingly diaphonous, but for one. who had' “wade a good, governor,” the common people are expected to admire the caution he ex­ ercised before deciding so important a Question.

Governor Harmon is certainly enti­ tled to the credit of being past* master In tho art of politics as it is played by astute manipulators.

Even an assault from so practiced and skillful an antagonist as William Jen­ nings IJryan does not cause blip, for the moment at least, to lose Lis po­ litical balance. And - do not smile, gentle reader— while he slts> quietly in his official chair, disclaiming ail thoughts of bosslsm, he dictates oven the small­ est party measures, and the most trivial appointments, with all the au­ thority of a political czar. Bitting thus Quietly in his sanctum with hl3 face wreathed In benevolent smiles, Indicating peace with all the world, a perfectly satisfied conscience and unimpaired digestion, no one would suspect him of being a boss, and, yet, It requires but’ a Blight acquaintance with the man to learn that of all bosses, he is tho bossiest. Ho controls every appointment made In the ntato service, no matter how Insignificant or unimportant it may be. . Ho assumes all knowledge of tech­ nic. of every department in tho state.

There .has been, since Its enact­ ment, a great deal of illogical criti­ cism of the Payne tariff law. Usually the loss the measure has been stud­ ied, the more- studied and persistent the misrepresentation concerning it. In this respect the new tariff law has been sharing the fate of its fel­ lows. There -has never been a cus­ toms measure written into the stat­ utes which did not suffer from criti­ cism and attack at the outset.' Most voters in Ohio remember '.that this was particularly true of the measure which bore McKinley’s name. Par­ ticularly, virulent was the Democratic denunciation of that law. Unusually persistent were the misrepresenta­ tions concerning It. ' And, election coming close on the heels of Its en­ actment, a Democratic tidal Wave swept Its author back to private life. But while the people were footed, they would not stay fooled. Tho de­ feat of Congressman McKinley in­ sured the election later on of Presi­ dent McKiqley; and-Just as surely will the correct understanding of tho present tariff restore to public -con fldenco the Taft administration—so savagely and unceasingly attacked during Its Initial year. , Ta rf Board a Feature. * Some D< aocrailo journals are at present pondering whether the im­ pending congressional campaign shall bo fought out by the Republi­ cans in mfiklng a defense of the Payne law; or if thebattlecry shall be tho creation of the' tariff board and the Investigation into the ’ costs of production at home and abroad. It is evidently overlooked by these speculative essayists • that the pro­ vision authorizing a tariff board is as much a part of the Payne law as its schedules of customs duties. As is pointed out by tho Cincinnati Times S’■ « "You can’t pass final Judgment on the Payne law without taking the tariff board into consideration. It that law is to ho judged by Its de­ fects, it ought in fairno»3 to boigiven credit for Its virtues. “If congress passes the $250,000 ap­ propriation the president has asked for—-as there is every reason to be­ lieve it w ill-after the new tariff law has been given a couple of years’ test in actual practlco, and aftor the tariff board has bad tlmo to carry on Its investigations to a considerable extent, congress will be in position to again revise the tariff on a more scientific basis than it has ever been revised before. “There Is no reason why any Re­ publican should have to choose be­ tween advocacy, of the new'Tariff law and of the tariff'board Idea, In fact, tlio two things must be taken to­ gether."

SOLD IN TOWN « The Widow .Spicer lived on the out­ skirts of (lie village of Powlerville, and next to her Jhtle farm on the west iiv«l Joe Tillman, a bashful man. one evening he found her sister .tjiciL*. It was mi evening in summer, amt lie had Ir all planned out to ask the widow,how her tomatoes were coming uluug—If the potato bugs bad appeared In the garden. If tlie.summer squashes had begun to get necks on them, and various other things—am) then all of n sudden he would ,ask her to uiavry ldm. it must be sudden or not m all. TJie bashful Joe had been planning this plan for a week, but it was all upset by fludiug the sister there./ Such was his embarrassment that he asked Mrs, Bpit-er to lend him a hive of bees Instead of a hammer, and he had bard- ' ly got into the house when he wanted ‘ to get out again. After he had taken his departure the elder widow said to the younger: “Surah, how long has this thing been going On?” “What thing?” she replied, with a guilty blush. .“This nonsense and waste of time. That fellow Is In love with you. and u dog with one eye could see it.” ,“If he Is he hasn’t said so.” • “Then It’s your fault. You are as red as paint, and you needn’t deny that you think a lot of him. Don’t try to deceive a woman who has had three husbands. What. I want to know is why you haven’t married him?" (“Because I’m not going to. marry again,” “ Hoot-toot! Don’t talk foolishness.” “Well, ttich, Joe Is a bashful man and hasn’t asked me.” “That’s better. There are some men born that tyay, 1 shall make it my business to cure this Old bach,” •‘Martha, if. you interfere"— "I shall stay right here uhtit he pops the question, tto widow under forty has nay business to he a widow over a year- ’ If I wasn’t fifty-fwo I’d be mar­ ried within six months." , 1 “You’d rope in tv man tlie same as a calf, I suppose?” asked Mrs. Spicer sarcastically. “But I forbid you to meddle with my affairs. I like Joe ^Tillman, but even If he was to ask me to marry him I don’t ‘think I’d do it— that is, I can’t say that I would,” ■ “Ob, well, we’H see about it,” said the elder sister, and there the conver­ sation dropped. In making bis visits to the widow Joe did not come by the highway fun- ■ning past both bouses, Instead of that I he cut across lots and approached her house from tho rear. Ho had two fences to climb, and be always sat. on the last fence for a time to get bis courage up. Sister Martha, without pretending to see anything, noted this thing and planned accordingly. She planned for a jar. She was a very practical woman, and one day when her sister had gone to the store aho hunted up a bandsaw, and, removing the top rail, she sawed it almost In two and replaced it. It was just a t the spot where Joe climbed over. It might work, and It might not She would take her chances on tbnt. That evening, as the nun went down nnd the gloaming came on and tho| birds twittered fbefr last notes amlj tbe ske-etera began roaming for prey,: Joe Tillman might have been observeds mating a sneak across tbe fields. He/ hadn't, visited the widow for three nights, bring in terror of her sister. He bad stood it ns long as he could and wqs. nor/ coming to' borrow her barn or smokehouse or front fence. The two widows sat on the veranda and waited. One waited to see if Joe would come, nnd the other waited for the jar that bnd been planned for. Joe and tbe jar arrived together. If his heart hadn’t been boating so tu multuously ns he laid hands on that top roll he would have noticed some­ thing wrong, but as It was be climbed Up and took his seat and bud Scarcely begun his hitching around when there Was u crash nnd he went backward head over heels, " A crash was heard on tfie veranda, and both widows) uttered exclamations and rose up. Both reasoned if out that .it was Joe TlHinau. Both ran for the fence. Yes, If was) Joe. lie lay In n heap on the far side of flic fence, a leg doubled under him. am! the wo­ men had to fake down a lot of the rails to get over ami at hlui. At the first groan he gave they knew ills leg was hit.sea. At the second they ran for a mattress and carried him into'the holme. The hired man was hunted up In the barnyard and dim psui-hed for a donor, nml long enough before midnight the broken limb had been ’set and (he patient was doing welt. Indeed, lie was doing so well that the Widow Spicer came out of the si)i,iye bedroom with blushing cheeks and said to her sister: “.Mnrtlm, what do you think lias happened ?" "Hasn’t broken the.olher leg floun­ dering around, lino he?” “Joe boa asked me to marry hint!” “Hoot! But l lmd given him two weeks to make up bis mind In."
