TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and work ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign, r We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each- subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text 'Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help as achieve a great victory James S. Sherman, Chairman, P O. Box 2063, New York PROUD DAY FOR OHIO. Friday October 19 will ever be a proud day In the history of the State of Ohio. In future generations her children will turn to that page in her history with a feeling of deepest gratitude, and call themselves Due. eyes with a fervor that will command respect from all sister states. Yes terday the Standard Oil Company was found guilty by a jury of twelve men at Findlay, Ohio on the charge of conspiracy in the restraint of trade, in violation of the Valentine anti trust law. That the law Is upheld is not only a victory for a county prosecutor, an attorney general and an upright judge but it is a victory for the great mass of people, who have a right to demand that great corporations shall receive the same consideration, no more no less than the common criminal. That great corporations are the highest-form of industrial development few will deny. But that these corporations are to be treated other than by the "square deal policy, no fair minded man will try to contend. Justice before the law is all the great mass of people ask for. Few want to see an industry or its owners, large or small, persecuted. But when these monopolies so ignore the common rights , of all and seek to make the laws of the nation, laughing stock and things to be scorned at It is time to call a halt. Ohio has called a halt and therefore the country rejoices in her glorious victory. Such a dicision as was given yesterday at Findlay gives strength to other prosecutors to enforce the law as they see it, it gives the people confidence in the judiciary and it tends to make those punished less brazen in their future acts. ANOTHER REPUBLICAN HOUSE. In opening the local political campaign Thursday night. Senator Beveridge spoke no truer word than when he said President Roosevelt must have a Republican House of Representatives if he is to continue with his great pjgram if reform. We have all come to trust Mr. Roosevelt as no other president has been trusted in fifty years. Not since the time of President Lincoln has any man risen so high in the public esteem. And why? Because President Roosevelt represents the highest ideal of American manhood. Because having the courage of his convictions he has thrown down the gauntlet to the corrupt corporations and railroads to force them to give the people of this country a "square deal." It is folly to deny that the Presi

dent was fought by Republican members of both the House and the Senate, for he was fought tooth and nail by both Republican and. Democratic members who having been sent to congress as the instruments of , the corporations, served their real masters to the best of their ability. But the real point vas that Presideiit Roosevelt was stronger than the corporations apd forced those Republican members in thepay of the "special interests" to vote for his bills. But

the Democrats did not aid him. On the contrary they did all in their ow er to dim the luster of the things he achieved. For instance Senator Bailey's loud declarations of treachery when the rate bill was passed. Senator Bailey is a Democrat one of the Democrats who were so loud in their declarations that they were supporting the doc trines of Mr. Roosevelt yet all the time he was trying to add clauses to the rate bill that would make it al most impossible to get enough har mony to pass it. And now we see the reason why. Down in Texas, Senator Bailey's own state, they are roundly denouncing him as the paid agent of the Standard Oil trust. So it Is quite evident how much he was in harmony with President Roosevelt's efforts for reform. And now the Democratic or gans would have us believe that Pres ident Roosevelt's only hope of contlnu ing his work of reform will be through the Instrumentality of a Democratic House. With a presidential election only two years off it is likely that the Democratic House would help Mr. Roosevelt pass popular measures which would add to his already great popularity! On the contrary they would do all in their power to embar rass his next two years in office in or der to make it appear that after all he is a failure and the hope of the country is in electing a Democrat president in 1908. The last Republican House learned who their master was that it was President Roosevelt speaking with the authority of eighty millions be hind him. A Republican House this year will have no other course than to help him further. But put in a Democratic House and with the bickering which would arise between it and the Republican Senate the "special interests" would have very little diffi culty in so playing one side against the other as to have things pretty much as they wanted them. In fact it looks very much as though it were the express purpose of the corpora tions to help get in a Democratic House simply for this thing. But they will. not succeed for President Roose velt has asked that the people of the United States send him another Re publican House and they have en ough confidence In him to do it. AS TO A FAIR. The willingness of the South Side Improvement Association to dispose of .40 acres of the Beallview tract for fair purposes, selling the same at a nominal price, provided that an assoelation that will be representative of the best interests of Wayne County and the city of Ricmond, shall be or ganized, is worthy of serious consid eration. There can be no denying the fact that Richmond has been very slow to appreciate the value of a fair. In part this is due to the methods of some of the fair associations In the past. But as a general proposition It is due to the failure of many business men to realize that it is better for Richmond to be the mecca of thous ands of fair visitors once each year than to be one of the few cities that sends thousands of people out of town in search of amusement of this sort. It might be stated again that 5,000 Richmond people attended fairs this fall. They all spent money. The mer chants In Greenville, Eaton, JMiddletown, New Castle and scores of other towns are unanimous in their verdict that a good fair, properly conducted is a source of much benefit to the mer cantile trade. They appreciate what a fair does for them and they no more think of permitting their fair associations to quit business than they would to close up their own stores. There really is a chance now for Richmond to get in line with other cities. The one aim should be the organization of a fair association that will have for its one object the building up of a permanent institution; one that will be favored by the farming classes as well as the people of Rich mond. Fair associations that are conducted with this object In view seldom make money. They realize enough to keep the project on its feet year after year, and this is all. And this is all that is needed. Every dollar made should be expended in making the fair greater and better. There is need for some business man or set of men to start the ball rolling. With proper men at the head an associa tion can be formed quickty, stock subscribed, . a fair ground site purchased and matters arranged so that the first fair under new management can be given next summer. Are there any business men in Richmond who will father the project? THE C, C. & L. ENTERPRISE. The C. C. & L. has announced its intention of making a straight 2 cent rate on and after November 1, thus

promptly meeting the . new , mileage book plans of the Pennsylvania. The

commendable thing is that the C. C & L. will not require its patrons to invest $20 for a mileage book, but will give every patron the benefit whether he be traveling ten miles or one hundred. COUNTY TEACHERS TO . MEET AT HIGH SCHOOL The Wayne County Teachers Asso ciation will meet today at the High School building. The feature will be the lectures by Mrs. Emma Mont McRae. of Purdue University. She will speak at 10:30 this forenoon and at -1:30 this afternoon. The business session of the teachers' association will be held during the afternoon. FOR ST. PAUL'S THE PROGRAM OUTLINED Services Will be Held Daily Beginn ing on October 26 Many Subjects of Special Interest to be Discussed by the Rector of St. Paul's Parish The ofcject of the Mission !n St Paul's church, beginning October 2S and conducted by the Rector, wilt be two-fold to deepen the religious life of Church members, and (2) to try to make plain the way of God to those who may be seeking for light. As both subjects are attainable through the outpouring of the Spirit upon those engaged in reading meditation and prayer, It is recommended that persons interested plan to be much in the house of God and observe the rule of silence as far as possible. The hours of service will be as follows: Monday, 4 P. M., Subject "Holy Scriptures." 7:30 P. M. "Sin." Tuesday, 4 P. M. "Christianity and Woman." 7:30 P. M. "Salva tion Through Christ."

"Hardness of Heart." Friday, 4 P. M. "The Way of the Cross." 7:30 P. M. "Christ's Cross and Ours." Those topics are subject to change without notice. As some persons have honest diffi culties about religion which can and ought to be removed at a time like this, a question box will be provided. FARMERS FIGHT; TWO ARE KILLED George Norris and His Son Are Dead as Result of Quarrel with Neighbor. SON SHOT BY ACCIDENT TROUBLE STARTED OVER t Dl VISION OF SOME FODDERFARMER WHO ESCAPED INJU RY GIVES HIMSELF UP. Rising Sun, Ind., Oct. 19. Geors Norris, 60, and Joseph Richardson, 50, both farmers living near here, quar reled over the division of some fodder. Richardson fatally shot his own son, Jack Norris, 20. Later reports indicate that Richard' fon had a part of Norris' farm rented vnd wanted to-cut some fodder, to which Norris objected, and that both men went to the cornfield prepared for trouble. Richardson and Tack .Norris, the son, came to blows during the quarrel, when George Norris ran in and fired, the bullet slightly wounding Richardson on the left ear an then penetrating Jack Norris' left breast Morris fired a second time, when Rich lrdson picked up u shotgun and fired the load taking effect in Norris' breast md shoulder. Richardson gave him'.elf up and was taken to Vevay. Coroner Places Blame. Sandusky. O.. Oct. 19. Coroner J J. McClellaad filed with the countj lerk his findings in the case of Frank 'miley of Lima, killed in the collisior n the Lake Shore electric railway at .ermillion, Aug. 4. The coroner finds V. D. Moody, motorman. who was :ilied, to have been directly responsive for the wreck in that he disobeyec" , n order received by him at Lorain tc neet and pass another car just wes f Vermillion. The coroner furthej lolds the Lake Shore Electric com pany partly, responsible for the aeci dent, "in that It allowed the loading of its cars on the date aforesaid far beyond their seating capacity." 0LICE STATION GIVEN A THOROUGH CLEANING Police Headquarters has taken a disguise and only the most acute of the local Sherlock's have been able to recognize the old place. New linolieum on the floor, a new desk, the chandeliers brightened up and a pecT uliar fresh, clean atmosphere prevailng has caused the patrolmen and; Supt. of Police to unconsciously re move their hats when they enter and to shuffle round with a "I wonder how it happened air.

Next week promises to be a full one for the Wayne Circuit Court. Twenty-one, cases are docketed for the week, the most of the appeals and claims against various estates. One case which has been on the docket for several years, will probably be disposed of by the Court Wednesday! This Is the one of Willis Whipple vsl the P. C. C. and St, L. R. R., for personal damages, which was brought t? this court on change of venue from Randolph county. It is understood by the court that the plaintiff in the case has been dead for the past few years, on which information, it will likely be stricken from the docket. HOW BUSY WITH INVOICE ROBINSON'S TAKES REST Thresher Plant Has Had a Successful Year and There is Less of Finished Product on Hand Than During Last October. Robinson's Manufacturing plant is closed down for the week and is now busy taking of the annual inventory which covers the fiscal year ending October 31. Only about fifty men are employed at the plant at present, the remainder having been let off on a temporary vacation. The foundry force is at work, as that portion of the shop has to be kept running all the time. It was stated yesterday that the condition of the shop's interest this year is very mucn better than at the same time last season owing to the fact that all of their portable stock has been cleared out, while last year there was much on hand In October. - REJECTED BIDS FOR REFRESHMENT RIGHTS The Board of Public Works yesterday received two bids for the refreshment and boating privileges at Glen Miller park next year. Owing to the fact that the Board believed that the privileges are growing in value each year and that the bids submitted were not sufficiently high they were rejected and will be-re-advertised for. TEN BURNED III BOARDING HOUSE Tragic Fire Occurred at Early Hour in Birmingham, Alabama, Yesterday. OTHERS WERE INJURED . FIRE 19 THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN CAUSED BY THIEVES WHO ROBBED PROPERTY., . Eirnnugnam, Ala., Oct. 19. Ten men were burned to death, two seriously and perhaps fatally injured, and a third slightly hurt, as the result of a fire which destroyed the boarding house of Mrs. E. E. Watley at an early hour. The dead: W. N. Nichols, streetcar conductor; D. li. Keel, streetcar conductor; W. B. TVylor, streetcar motorman; G. C. Preston, conductor; Edward Caldwell, motorman; E. B. Henshaw, conductor; Gordon D. Burns, motorman; William T. Hall, conductor; W. B. Livingston, rolling mill man; OUie H. Hines, employe of Birmingham Paint and Glass company. The seriously Injured: C. E. Hentch, streetcar conductor; G. W. Troutman, motorman; C. E. Keith, street railway employe. Th?re were 21 boarders in the house, almost all of whom were street railway employes. In addition there were three other persons, Mrs. Watley and her two sons. All have been accounted for. All the dead and injured occupied rooms on the second story of the house. The flames enveloped the entire building when the fire was discovered, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the persons on the lower floor made their escape. They saved nothing. Every piece of furniture in the house was burned. The fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Burglars have been detected on the premises twice within the last two months and Mrs. Watley thinks the house was burglarized and then set on fire. Thieves were discov ered at work during the progress of the flames and the police were called to keep guard. The 10 charred bodies are at the morgue, where it Is Impos sible to tell one from the other. The names given are those of the missing, the number carrespondin with the number ct RECORDED THE LIST OF CHURCH TRUSTEES B. B.

PAIIHAI1DLE TURNS DOWII PROPOSITION

Refuses to Accept Original Agreement for Making West 2nd St. Viaduct. WANTS ANOTHER MEETING COMPANY CLAIMS THAT CHANG ES WERE MADE IN CONTRACT1 BY COUNCIL TO WHICHIT DID NOT AGREE. Because some changes were made in the original agreement between tng City of Richmond; and the Pennsylva nla'-xailroad cctuipanyjreiative to tha West Fecond street viaduct, the rail' road company has, through its lqral attorney, declared its purpose not to accept. It is also announced that the railroad company's representatives desire another conference with the city council's committee which has been looking after theTViaduct matter, with the object of making n other effort to "get together." What' ever may have been the cause for th delay of the construction of the viaduct. West Side citizens have become tired of the dilatory tactics of both the city and the railroad company and they are not slow in expressing their dissatisfaction. The letter which was written to tha Board of Public Works in this regarj by John L. Rupe, attorney for tha Pennsylvania railroad, stated that the company's negligence in the matter was due to the fact that some changes had been made in the original cont tract by Council, which the company had not acquiesced to, and that it had therefore let the matter stand. The letter went on to state that the conn pany desired to look after the mater and would like to have a time set for conference, which would be convenient to both parties. As the mat te was first broached under the old board of works, the new board wag cot acquainted with this phase of tha matter, and assign this as the reason for their delay. Nt., i....i.uii.y uath. Minneapolis, Oct. 19. Something new in the way of an "immunity bath" is to be sprung at the federal investigation into railroad rebates, which will he gin here Monday in case any Indictments are returned by the special grand Jury. Attorneys will call attention of the court to the alleged fact that their clients are immune from prosecution under the provisions of the new railroad law. Although the Elkins law was not repealed, a provision of the new law prevents prosecution for an offense committed previous to the date of the passag of the new bill. Automobile Capsized. Waltham, Mass., Oct. 19. By the overturning of an automobile at the foot of a long hill, between Wsyland and Sudbury, Mrs. Fred N. Allen of Fitchburg was killed and Mrs. George P.
