COX DOES THINGS: — Those who claim that Governor Cox is a progressive man cite his record as recently set forth in the New York Times. The workmen’s compensation law. passed under his lead ership. is referred to as a model. Whereas in 1912 there were 50.000 damage suits, last year, as a result oi the law. there were fewer than fifty. He opened a budget school for state officers, and after p careful investiga tion of budget systems, one was adopted in Ohio that has met all the requirements. As a result, not a single tax In Ohio has been increased, notwithstanding the increased cost of everything during the war. Tax valuations have, of course, been raised in proportion to the increase in the value of property. In the Times arBEAR OIL For Your Hair ?

RririHPi * •' ... • :• * '!> **• jgswßSa ticle is this: "All his previous experience a •teacher, reporter, editor and publish er, and congressman, converged intc his larger career when in 1912 In made his race for governor of Ohio He stumped the state in behalf of a progressive constitution and then for progressive legislation to carry out th* objects of the constitution. There were fifty-six of tlfese progressive measures. Cox called them "the new era,” or “the new order of things.’ From the budget they extended through nonpartisan judiciary, state wide main market and intercounty road system, prison reform, initiative and referendum, minimum wages foi women, consolidation of duplicating bureaus and commissions, an anti profiteering cold storage law and widowers’ pensions. In every one of the long list there is a special bear ing on some form of human better ment. His supporters say that one of the greatest achievements of Governor Cox was byway of school reform. He began with a school survey, and followed that with a congress of 3,000 rural school trustees. While instruction in the standard subjects was continued, the schools were brought

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY,

"into vital touch with rural life by the uddilton of the teaching of u K r * culture and slock raising for the boys and home economics for the girls.' In the last seven years more than 1,000 rural schools have been built in Ohio, and as a result many rural districts have school facilities that rival the best ones in cities. The whole rural life of the state has been transformed. The matter of prison reform was dealt with in the same comprehensive and practical way The state has established farms worked by convicts. Industrial engi neers were engaged, and on the basis >f their report industries and night schools have been established in th» prisons of the state. There are now 1.000 acres of farm to each institu ion. The men have every opportun ty to present any claims they may tave to the authorities. These reforms, and others that night be mentioned, are all funds nental, going to the very roots of so■ial life. The governor's attitude to vard them is thus described: He has not been a reformer by at Opting new ideas because the’ ound good. His method is to advo ' ate changes only where experience t has shown they should be made, mt once the need is discovered, he does not wait for some one else to ake the initiative. On the contrary, he assumes the I -adership, and makes of himself the driving force.” —Indianapolis News. The General Electric company teeds five or six houses at once and our people should remember that the better we take care of this institu- ' tion, the more rapidly the industry ■ will grow in Decatur. If you know ■ f any houses that can be rented be sure to call Mr. Charles Saunders at the G. E. plant. It may mean the se--1 t tiring of a large addition to the plant here. Let’s keep faith with the • company and do more for them than 1 we promised. The administration in Indiana i seems to be worrying more about ' how and when the special session

can be adjourned than they are as to what laws can be passed that will aid the people of the state. At the rate they have been going it is perhaps just as well If they are sent home by fust express at once for the more they do the worse it seems to be for the people. Decatur is a beautiful city and we aay this in all sincerity after looking over the garden spots of the great | west and the cities of the coast. After all there is no place in all the world equal to northern Indiana for productiveness, for pretty homes, | for good looking farms and for happy people and our own little city looks the best of all to us. Senator Harding devotes an hour n his speech of acceptance in telling his position on the league of nations ind now he will have to devote the text three months in explaining to lohuson and his followers how he is igainst it and to Taft and his admlr--rs how he is for it. That’s a tine, datform and the senator seems to >e peculiarly fitted to run on it. Senator Harding now’ knows he was nominated by the Chicago con vention. According to reports he knew unofficially several months ago and officially at 2:11 that morning the committee of eight senators met in an upstairs room at the Blackstone hotel. It's a fine way to let the people rule. < BLAME IT ON H. C. L. Milwaukee, Wis.. July 22.—The high cost of living is offered as an explanation of the increase in the number of breach of promise and alienation of affection suits filed in Milwaukee uring the past year. The number of such cases filed in the past twelve months exceeds that of the pievlous three years, according to the records of the civil and circuit courts. Since the first of the year twenty-two breach of promise suit? have been filed and sixteen actions for I alienation of affection have been brought. Too poor to wed, is the excuse. *

PRISONERS. BUT NO ONE CLAIMS THEM ColiimbtaTsTc.Tjuly 22,-The Richland county jail has th»« i ison it can't keep and can't let go. The federal prison at Atlanta Im* Crty more said to be in the same Ittatus. A former New York judge, now imprisoned ut Atlanta, caused the trouble. The three men were sentemed ut Columbia on moonshining charges. The penalties were on year in the fed , oral prison. There was no mention of "a year and a day” nor of hard labor.” The former New York judge knew about sentences and suggested a course of procedure that brought a ruling by Judge Samuel H. Sibley at Atlanta that the men were improperly committed. Judge Sibley issued habeas corpus writs and ordered the men reutrned to Columbia for review of 1 sentences. That was only the start, i The end still is not in sight. i Arriving here, the federal marshal ( could find no one to take his prisoners. "Those men are officially of! my ’ hands.” the United State marshal at " Charleston said over the telephone. > Ho stood pat. The federal commlsi stoner and the federal district attorney here scratched their heads. The Georgia officer decided to “get from under.’ He flourished Judge Sibley's removal order under the nose ot 1 the Richland county jailer, left his i prisoners and hurried away. The prls- . oners are here. ' TURNED SALOON INTO CHURCH > Weston. Wis., July 22.—This village has long wanted a church, but never could afford one unt <1 prohibition came Even then its citizens were not weal- ! thy enough to erect a building, but the man who for years had served good liquors with a free lunch came 1 forward and said he had decided to r go into another business. He offered • 'he use of his saloon and dance hall for the church, and his home for the ( parsonage. The first Sunday the church was open he came into town from his farm, took a drink of water irom the town pump and sat in the ront row during the service. Toronto butchers have asked that • tea be served to them at 9 a. m.. and i hat they be allowed 10 minutes at • he beginning and end of the workday to change their clothes.
