WALKMB V TRIBUNE CANNOT SEE WILLIS AS CANDIDATE Ohio is much in the limelight at this time with Senator Frank B, Willis, a willing candidate for the Republican nomi­ nation for president, and Senator Fess, still contending that President Cooljdge will accept if drafted. Newspapers over the country are devoting much editorial space to the Ohio situation. With Senator Willis in the list for honors the Chicago Tribune, staunch Republican paper, finds time to josh our Ohio Senator for his connection with the Harry Daugherty scandal when Willis made the break that “ Harry was as cleam as a hound’s tooth,'* , , The Tribune thinks it well that Willis has entered now, The suggestion is made that had he not come to the front he might have slipped into the nomination much after the fashiofi granted Warren G. Harding. Being in the open now the Tri­ bune is inclined to think that Willis has no chance now for “ his candidacy will not stand the light.” With Willis, the candidate the Teapot Dome, would be­ come an issue with a. review of the whole Daugherty mess which the Tribune thinks would not be sanctioned by a Re­ publican convention. REMUS TRIAL A THEATRICAL SHOW The trial of George Remus in Cincinnati for the murder o f his wife continues day after day much after the fashion of the, dd teif cent melodrama. No trial in recent years has had as much theatrical setting as the one in progress. , , . . While Remus is on trial for his life for shooting his wife, the public is,holding the system of court conduct on trial. The fact that Remus is attempting lto set up a claim o f some sort of “ insanity” and yet at the same time is attorney for himself and directing his own case with the aid of another attorney connected with the Cincinnati bar. It may be that the trial judge cannot do radre than he has under such circumstances with a, defendent attorney defending , himself. From the public viewpoint the trial is looked upon as a farce and judging from surface indications Remus has a good chance o f going free. Remus has been known as the ' “ Ring of Bootleggers” and is reputed to have made a couple . o f million. He was landed by a Federal prohibition agent and served a term in prison as well as terms in county jails for other offenses. While in prison it seems the prohibition agent stole Remus’ wife and several thousand dollars worth of government liquor permits. This prompted the shooting of his wife, and the trial that has now been in progress for sever­ al weeks, stands as one o f the most disgraceful events in court history in the state, . . . ONE HUNDRED PER CENTERS IN ACTION « **■ * v " , Clark county has certainly had a good taste of Hlu Klux government. This week the city auditor In Springfield started serving a five year term for helping himself to $30^000 of the city funds. , . Last week the sheriff and two deputies were indicted., Monday the sheriff and. one ‘ deputy^entered pleas of guilty, to receiving stolen property. The other deputy is yet to be tried. We are informed that the band of Clark countians that labeled themselves “ one hundred per centers” boasted that they had a deputy sheriff in each township in that county; .The hooded order also has its finger oh other brahi ms of govern­ ment in that county if boasts can be relied upon and citizens jB m woaun- vir rvecitav uioti *VTKsr wmV'XtrVUeWITOrOUSB--------- Indiana has reaped the reward for permitting a ,brand of super-government to function that branded the state before the entire country, Clark county is no different than other counties or even states; where the self-styled per centage Americans have been in control. The development o f internal warfare brought about the, exposure and the sheriff and his deputy, promptly resigned. Division over the take-off even among the white robbed gang must be satisfactory all down the line. Somebody held out evidently in Clark county and trouble a- rose that has permitted citizens to get a good view of the deter­ mined purpose of capturing city, school, county and state government. , KILLING AN IDEA ^pHK hardest thing In the world to A kill i» mii idea. iron ran destroy the man who ha* It; you ran reduce ids brain to dust ant} iiis body to ashes. Iwt hi* Idea, If it is a right Idea, will live on and thrive despite your efforts. 'file crucifixion did not kill the Idea of Christianity. The burning of Joan of Are did not wipe out the truths she stood for, John Brown’s idea did not die with him on the scaffold. Tlie Imprisonment of Bupyan did not kill his idea; It rather helped to strengthen it. for In his cell he wrote his greaf ’'Pilgrim’s Progress,” The threats of the greatest power* to the world, while, they made Galileo deny with his voice the truth of his theory that the earth revolved around the sun, did not change' or kill his idea, for tinder his breath tie whis­ pered “J3 pur si amove" ("It does move though"). On the other hand a wrong idea is sure to die. * . Nothing Is eternal except file truth. The false promise destroys bdth argument and conclusion. The false idea eventually kills, Itself, - All error IS self-destructive, ’ There is a right and a wrong way to kill a bad idea, The wrong way Is to klti the possessor, The right way Is to prove the idea Itself is wrong and then It dies 'of Itself. Witchcraft was not obliterated by the burnings of Salem, It was'wiped opt by the proving of. the truth that there Is no such thing, us witchcraft. The decadence of monarchies has not, resulted from the beheading of .kings nor the' imprisonment •of princes. It is the result of proving , to • the people that there Is, a better, more just . and more usefnl kind of 1government than the rule of a sover­ eign. The greatest support that wrong (ideas have ever had was violence, i" The human soul somehow or other. • leans to the aid of the abused, even | if it' be in the wrong. Normally, man wants to see every-' tiling and . everybody" have a fair ’ chance, a sipiare deal, an opportunity, •The suiest way to give a wrong tdeu added Support is to treat It unfairly. Give, the right half a chance and It will annihilate wrong'and wipe! error out of -existence. It Is stronger J than iron bars.* It Is more potent , than the scaffold. It is the only thing,] with which to fight nhd win. | ( ^ <{$} hy ilcCture N«wspat>erSyDflUcnte.l Useful Christmas]) Gifts to Select From Hundreds of boxes of fine Handkerchiefs for ladies and mep, 25c, 49c, 73c, 98c, $1.23, $1.49 a box.

Answ*r*<$tnt THAD BROWN AND THE (OHIO BANKS Some days a go State Auditor Tracy made known a report of an examination of the automobile license department of the state during the time Thad Brown was Secretary of State. . , The report holds Brown and several score of banks in Ohio indebted to the state for interest not collected on license funds that had been deposited over, the state. The report does not incriminate Brown in any way or even infer that he has profitted to the. extent o f a single penny. * To those who know how the license funds are handled it is hard to see where Mr. Tracy can better conditions and not be denied the services ^of the banks in Ohio in handling this money. Certainly the bank in every community is entitled to hold the money say a week, or a month in lieu of a free service granted the state. Certainly no bank is going to open up an account, receive the money before* dosing time in the evening and then permit the local registrar to draw on it the next morn­ in g and send it to Columbus. As banks are under State sup­ ervision the money is just as safe in local banks as in any in­ stitution in Columbus. . We are not in sympathy with Tracey and his methods even though he inay be head of the inspection department. There are plenty of open violations of the state law in regard to let­ ting contracts and making purchases, in amounts of $500 and over. Mr. Tracy kas the inspector’s report covering the ex- animation of Wilberforce Normal and Industrial School and how money was wasted, but Joseph evidently does not care to tamper with what might cost him a few votes, and has taken no action. The banks and Mr. Brown have little to fear and should demand an investigation o f the investigator.
