What political trick is to bo turn­ ed next? § What job iff -there to do that a" for­ mer hencliman of Ed. Bclunidt should In foisted upon the people by so-call­ ed reformers and given a seat on the County Boprd. of Elections? Wake up, people, wake up! Your servants, the lilly-white, pure-'in- heart Republican executive commit­ tee, commissioned by the •"people** as 'a reform body,'has soiled its garb .apd. betrayed, -tho cause of reform- in ■the recommendation of the "pussy­ footed1’ John, Baughn, a political non­ descript of Jamestown, that has time and »timp again been repudiated by his homo people. \ r How in the name of ofi that is good and true could any member of the Executive Committee vote to en­ dorse this scarlet blisfer is more than this weekly grist would ever attempt to explain. ■We can let the matter pass here by saying that we chal- .lange any^raember of this committee, or’the committee as a whole, -towrite a justification of such a recommenda­ tion, and we will give it equal promi­ nence. ’ Whf> is John Baughn anyway?What has been his past political history and wh’at is his. commercial standing in his own community? . Two years ago the central com­ mittee was wrestled from the Schmidt* ,-Slump, gang.' Some of us who be­ lieved that there should be a change dh political affairs endeavored to place the committee on a higher plain and lift it from the-cess-pool of foul politics. -Gbod progress was made for a time. John,. -Baughn was -trusted with-the power that follows the head of this committee. * • It was then that we discovered John- Baughn, as he really is. A double­ dealing, deceiving, contemptable .*uss that would put to-blush the blackest *imp in hell and parallze the modesty of his Satanic -Majesty. And such ,an, --unmitigated, mangy* ■ lousy .cuss .re­ commended by a committee for A rc- ' ’sponsible position in -the name oi REFORM! ’ ; I t wa? this same’John Baughn that helped to wreck the reform ship two years ago,or more. Then it was John Baughn, for 'JFohn Baughn-and-It will' bfe f }0 today. Ricked from the Schmidt gang for. unfaithfulness, , picked' up , b!y reformers, only.-Jo betray them, ^'nd the reform cause again1 .must suf­ fer, the prostitutions of this idgrate who has been delegated with great power, not for REFORM, but to<,gr*t- ify the political asperlations of a num­ ber of county officials, and want-to- bees in building a machine after the model of the Scbmldt-Shoup machine jrecently demolished. pfThere is jho Justification of placing John Baughn on the election board, and knowing the situation1, as we dh there never has been the remotest Idea on the part of the so-called reform managers that Baughh would ■ initiate any - re­ forms ether than extending the pow­ er of this clad that is driven by1hun­ ger for political control and domina­ tion of Republican ’politics in this county. I t is d .disgrace that men honest in 'th e ir effort to help right wrongs in the county should have their hopes blasted In this manner. What in­ centive is there to battle on in this political struggle when such barnacles are fastened upon the people by sup­ posed friends of the cause? Do not become- {sickened, disheartened, but fight on and center yqur forces against the betrayers of the people’s cause. The liberty loving, patriotic, sincere law-abiding citizens will not countenance this undiflable act of placing In power a political degene­ rate without honor or responsibility, one who recently paid off honest debts with receivership dollars. If this, is reform, Away with it! Away!! Away!!! ' Should Provide For Schools^ The Budget tax commission in the county, composed Of County Auditor Dean, Prosecuting Attorney Johnson and Mayor Dodds, will meet Monday to equalize the tax levies of the var­ ious taxing districts in the county. Deputy Auditor Walter McGervey is secretary of the commission*and will have the various budgets for the com­ ing meeting all figured out, ^ ’ Under the new law, village coun­ cils, hoards of' eduettion and town­ ship officials are at the mercy of this body for revenue in the conduct of public affairs. The law provides that there can •be five mills set aside for schools but this ‘Was not done' last year and It is probable that the schools will be cut short again. Two county' .of­ ficials and, one municipal official to settle oh a basis cd funds for, ,the vil­ lages and schools speaks for. itself Why there has not been, a sufficient amount o f money raised, | „ It is significant that whim schools were starving for-jfunfis -this, past year, various county officials asked for more money to conduct the of­ fices. The commissioners refused to; grant the Increase and- on appeal to common pleas court cut- the requests to less than half, - If the tax ’commission wants to strike u popular cor'd lot -the full five mills be granted the school boards /and let the county Officials struggle for theirs next-year. The only peo­ ple we know of that will condemn the tax. commission will be the coun­ ty officials. * " 1 ' i ' ( - *'» Married Iii Kentuckey. , A telegram whs received by the Herald Wednesday evening from the .Ginclnuitti SStapiiffe* announcing the. marriage of Miss Kellie Mc­ Millan jjbfthis place -to, Mr, Carl Bucfeiel^of Jamestown,■’a t Coving­ ton, Ky. * _ ' ' The couple le ft here th a t morning Supposedly f o r , Springfield to a t­ tend the encampment in th a t city, but instead they went to Cincinnati.

T*rbo* Dumber tso It Is only a few years ago that the roads in Ohio were, in the country and a largo part of the urban dis­ tricts, almost'without exception, a de­ lusion and a spare. The people boro the discomfort, which arose from this, hecaues' they knew of nothing better, and it hud become a fixed custom to expect that when one went driving the wheels would probably sink to the hubs' in mud and a part of the har­ ness' give way.. • ■ . When a farmer started for town, With a load of produce, the time of his return =wos uncertain. It depend­ ed largely upon whether the .sun, shone or a rain storm developed. If the latter a sufficient excuse was furnished to remain away •all night and-there were no,embaraesing Ques­ tions from the good1house wife; The condition of the roads was epough, ,(There Was no thought iu the minds: of the people tbgjt annually froth $10,; 000,000 to $12,000,000 were being lost because-of the 1 inadequate means'of transportation and that in the end they, themselves, were compelled to pay for this. They had always had bad roads and accepted the belief that such would continue to be the case* , But a change lias come. In a great many localities when the husband­ man' leaves his for town his horses.trot along oyer improved high­ ways of modern construction and he can sit in quiet contentment and cheerily view the landscape at peace with himself and the world. The city resident is no less the beneficiary.; He can now drive out ip the .even­ ing or on Sunday’s in those places where good roads have been estab­ lished, without danger of breakdown or ruffled temper. , •Every right minded person loves; a horse, If the reverse is true there -is something wrong in the mental make­ up. Many men would be out of em­ ployment with empty pockets if it Were not for these faithful animals Whq piod and pull and toil at their masters bidding too often under hjsh of whip with scanty food,, awaiting th em a t t the, end “of -work. To . the horses-good roads are a hoonj like­ wise1 to the owners for they lengthen the fife of service while increasing by far the total of tonnage, which -thp horse can draw. The amount of money, which Would annually be sav­ ed to owners In this Why cannot ho estimated- but it Would reach Into large figures. There Is a great work being done in this state along the lines of road improvement, a work of which the people In general have but small con­ ception, and for which they share no blame since it has not beoa brought to them as a face to face question, the otution of which lies with them aiouii.: Through the Operations, of the Ohio Goods Roads Federation of which, Archibald H. Huston, of Columbus, is president; , former State - Senator W. A. Alsdorf, of Johnston, state su­ perintendent, and. with which such; men as James R. Marker, of Green­ ville, State Highway Commissioner; A. P. Sandies, of Ottawa, State Com­ missioner of Agriculture; Jesse-Tay­ lor, of Jamestown, and others of prominence are\ officially connected, a movement has been put under full headway to give this1state the best system of highways in, the Union. Now, there Is hardly n person in Ohio that is not interested ln*fhis and who will nOt be directly effected by tho outcome. Everybody uses the roads more or less each year, If not in a buggy or a wagon of an auto­ mobile then on foot. Children, waik to school and in the places where the roads *are poor they, often have a most vexatious time. Sometimes, perhaps, the condition is such that they are forced to remain at homo and thus secure a holiday. In places where good roads have beeii establishid walking Is no long­ er a hardship, except in time of rain and then tho old family horse can be hitched up and jog along with no more inconvenience than tbo patter­ ing of rain drops upon his hack. Every resident of the rural districts knows that where unimproved high­ ways prevail there are several months' in each year when it is impossible to, take produce to market but It must Ho still in barn, or cliff., or cellar, through the long winter period. Whore roads of modern construction are in use there Is not a time when the Ur­ ban center is out of reach. From every standpoint and every angle, which- looks towards economy and the public Weal good roads n’iuat appeal. They mean a saving both physically and financially. The ques­ tion is one which comes straight home to tho poekethDok and means that the ’pockotbook will grow. It la the purpose-of the Federation to have put In use such a system as will tilt.! mutely make every road In the state ft good one, so that,'one can drive from any position of Ohio to another ami find no mud tho entire way. At tho prlmaHea in September the voters wfil.be AttUed upon to ratify a clause in the new Constitution auth­ orizing tho isspunce of $50,000,000 in bonds for th f carrying on e£ fbo work. This fiejbna largo at first glance but In. reality the average cost per capita annually wifi bo but fifty-tbree cents and this will fto divided in pro. portion to a man’s ftieans, so that the small property owner wifi not pay so much as ho of greater wealth. The tax levy will -start at one-tenth of a thill ftnd never- go benyohd four- tenth^. Not so great a burden after all and nothing compared to the saving ami good results which will be the out­ come.
