Fairbanks, candidate for the Republie«n nomination fo r governor has about a solid platform fo r the ad­ ministration of th a t office as i t pos­ sible to expert. Being a .good business sum and manufacturer in Springfield this section, can give Mr. Fairbanks a liberal vote. “My ambition", he says, “would be to give the state of Ohio, a business administration, My platform would be simple. I believe i t is time we wereplacing the government back on a constitutional footing. X shall also advocate the simplifying of the state, government. Ohio is, now a commis­ sion-ridden Btate. We have oyer 60 commissions In Ohio, We have gone to Seed on commissions. There is no place to centralize authority. I would like to j»e an instrument in the estab-' liahment of a business government in Ohio, a government tha t would' be organized on the same plan of effi­ ciency as a priVate corporation. , ij “Anojther thing:’ class legislation is destructive. I should like to be an instrumentality in the elimination of class legislation. We have too much of such special legislation in Ohio, Before enacting a law we should al­ ways inquire, first, whether i t is nec­ essary, and, secondly, whether i t is f o r the general welfare, Unless it conforms to that standard it should be killed.” " * - ■: RECEIVED TWO DEGREES. The following is taken from a pa­ per in Johnson City, Tenn, and will be of interest here: “Two colleges a t their annual meet­ ings held last week conferred the de­ gree of Doctor of Divinity upon Rev, Jason L. McMillan, pastor of .the F irst Presbyterian Church of this ci,ty. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held June 1st, King College of Bristol honored the distinguished minister with his degree and three days later, Cedarville College, a t Cedarville, O., where Mr. McMillan was bom and reared through its Board of Trustees tendered a similar honor. The academic degree o f Doctor of Divinity conferred by colleges upon men and women implies that they are so •well .versed in this branch of knowledge as to merit the distinction. Those who have been associated with Dr, McMillan or who have attended his church can well believe that the degree conferred by the colleges men­ tioned are aptly bestowed, for Dr., McMillan is often referred to as one(| of the mos.t able and learned ministers of the city. He is a man deeply con­ secrated to his life mission, striving for the advancement of his Master’s work, unassuming but nevertheless powerful, a potent fac.tor in the reli­ gious and civic life of the community. LARGE CITIES ONCE SMALL. Natural advantages have much to do with the success of a town, but its jthe calibre of it’s men th a t counts for moat^ This isi particularly true with the city of Akron, 0 . Its population has grown by leaps and bounds due to the greatest rubber concerns in the world. Fabulous fortunes created by. rub­ ber have, been poured into 'Akron’s lap fo r all,the world goes to Akron for rubber tires. This enviable posi­ tion and prosperity in spite of lack of natural resources. ' - The city is near no natural water­ way. I t is built on step hills. I t is not located, nea r mills that supply it’s raw material. The only'reason tha t can be given for Akron’s success is the human ele­ ment, the calibre of the men who founded the rubber industry, and who by their years of perseverance, in spite of early failure and discourage­ ment, have ’wrought miracles for their city th a t was once email. When any of us growl q t our.Jtown* . -grow lipg^-at ,o a i^ v « i~ 4 s t’'s < remember this. ’ SQUEEZING WOOL BUSINESS We had a confidential talk several days ago with a big business man and during the conservation we mentioned the wool situation in that wool grow­ ers could hot sell their wool. We were informed that two reasons could be given for the present situation. One Was the amount of wool in Btorsge and the Australian wool situation. Another was th a t certain interests were endeavoring to force wool grow­ ers to sell their wool in the usual man ner as all other staples are sold. The wool business seems to be one th a t is controlled by a few people or onegreat corporation which can dictate ju st how wool shall be Bold and what shall be paid for it, The activity of the grower to pool his wool and sell di­ rect is said to be under pressure ust a t this time.. Theoutcome will be watched with considerable interest. HOME ON A VACATION. Robert Conley, who is connected with the executive branch of the P it­ tsburg Plate Glass Ca., a t Crystal City, Mo,, is-home on a two weeks va ­ cation. Mr, Conley states that the de­ mand for plate glass is enormous Previous to the war the plate glass safes were about fifty million feet a year, The demand for plate glass for automobile purposes will be abqut sixty million feet this year. The de mand fo r the year fo r all purposes is expected to exceed 120 million feet and no possible chance to manufac tore th is amount. OPERATION WAS SUCCESSFUL Dr. E.

Hildebrant is a candidate for secretary of state a t the Republican primary in August. As a keen politi­ cian “Hildy” is always on the job; Harvey C. Smith, is now serving his first term and of course should be giv£ en his second as his term of office has been satisfactory in every respect. Hildebrant-is credited with getting two other Smits in sthe game as candi­ dates for the same office. One a Har­ ry C. Smith, colored, editor ofa race paper in Cleveland, and another by the name of. Herbert C. Smith. With such a combination voters would ig- |»nore the collection of Smits and'vote fo r Hildebrant thinking that the Smith family was trying to outdo the Jones’, etc, But “Hildy” struck a snag when the Republican executive committee o his own county, Clinton, openly en­ dorsed Judge Harvey C. Smith fo r a second term as secretary of state. This action is unprecedented in Ohio politics.
