HISTORIC PAINTING IS GIVEN ROSS COUNTY BY OHIO RESIDENT

s (By Associated Pr?) CHILLICOTHE. O.. Jan.

31. A

memory of the, days when Zachary Taylor, twelfth president or the United States, was campaigning for the office, was brought to attention here when Mrs. W. V. Lawrence, through her son, Herbert Lawrence, presented Ross county with a famous painting of the general at the battle of Buena Vista. . The painting came into possession of the Lawrence family when General

Taylor visited Ross county, while he.

was campaigning for the presidency. It was originally presented to members of the Whig club of Chillicothe by General Taylor, and has been handed down to members of the Lawrence family, whose forbears were members of the club. Shows Battle Ground. The painting is five feet wide and six feet high, and is made on a background of blue silk, heavily fringed with gold braid. The staff of the painting, which is in the form of a banner, is made of oak and brass, surmounted at the top by an eagle of brass. It depicts General Taylor standing beside his white charger, watching the battle of Buena Vista. In the foreground, stands a young officer, easily recognized as Jefferson Davis, then an aide on General Taylor's staff, later to become president of the Southern Confederacy. A wounded artillery officer, resting oh his side, has raised himself on one elbow in an attempt to salute the general, who has just uttered his famous phrase, later to be popularized as campaign material for the Whig Party, "My wounded live behind me. I shall not pass them alive." The quotation is printed in letters of gold at the foot of the banner. The painting was executed by Bayard, a Cincinnati artist of the times, and has been pronounced exceptionally fine by art critics. Numerous offers, it is said, were made to Mrs. Lawrence for the painting during her lifetime, but she refused them, declaring that the painting in reality was the property of Ross county and that she was merely the custodian. A request made by the Columbus Historical society, to preserve the painting in the capitol relic room, also was refused because the possessor .did not want it to leave Ross county. The painting has been accepted by the county, and measures will be tak-. en for its preservation. ,

Budapest Citizens Suffer Rather Than Implore Help HUDAPKST. Jan. 31. An American Red Cross kitchen has been opened here to feed 50,000 children, but the mil-fry among adults, according to Captain PrdJow, of the Red Cross, surpasses even that of Vienna. "They hide their suffering through i ride and they revolt at the idea of psking help from foreigners," Captain Pedlow said. "To help them one must conceal the charitable aspect of the work. : , ' "I have seen much .poverty bnt never anything like that of Budapest." in Vienna, he sad, American and other foreign aid has brought some relipf while virtually nothing has been done by the outside world here.

DRYS IN SWITZERLAND. GENEVA, Jan. 31. A campaign to make Switzerland dry has been undertaken, by the Swiss 'Anti-Alcoholic League. Its first step, it is announced, will be to demand a fpderal referendum authorizing the Swiss cantons to exercise local option. The prohibitionist leaders here say that recent unofficial balloting indicated that a large number of the cantons would vote to become dry if the issue were presented to them.

people, and, therefore, it is that under our system of government the two-

party system is essential. Ours would not work if we had, as is the case on the continent of Europe, a number of political parties more nearly balanced, because then you would have the rule of the minorities, or log-rolling for the accomplishment of selfish purposes, regardless of principle. "Now, of course, theye have grown up in this country a number of parties other than the two great parties, and so it might happen that one of the great parties, successful at an election, might not necessarily represent a majority, and it has happened that a r;'inority vote has elected u president. But all we can get in this world is an approximation, and so I start with the premise that the two-party system, or as near it as we can come to it, is essential for the proper workings of our institutions. Must Work in Political Party. "My next proposition is that, if you have the Influence you ought to have and I want to pause- here long enough to say that I have. the greatest, the highest respect for the ability, the patriotism and the capacity for public service of the high-minded women in this league of yours, and I say to you if you are to exert the influence that your ability and your standing in the community entitles you to exercise, you must do it through the medium of

I a political party.

"We have had third, parties. The Prohibition party has .. endured for many year and I undertake to say, although I know there may be a difference of view upon this subject, that ihe Prohibition party did not contribute to an appreciable extent to national prohibition. It came about in spite of and regardless of the efforts of the Prohibition party, and as a larty the Prohibition party never could have accomplished it, becauso it was hopelessly and always in a minority. "Now, the only way you can have responsible government is through a

i party. A party has a state, it has

something to work for; and the something to work for, if. it is properly organized, is the success of the principles to which it is devoted. Now of course, you cannot secure unanimity of opinion as to any great mass of principles. There must be compromises. Every one cannot have his or her way. "If you are to have concert of action the individual has to subordinate some views to meet the views of the others, and so you accept that set of principles which, for the most part, or as nearly as it is possible to attain, represents your views, and, accepting them, you belong, we will say, to one party or the other. And if you do, if you believe in party government, sis I do, and in party responsibility as I do, then you will suport the candidates whom you believe best fitted and most willing to carry out the principles that you stand lor, and instead of voting for individuals you will vote lor principles if you wish to accomplish something. - "f?o much, now , from the standpoint of being able to exercise the influence in the community that you ought to exercise. One word upon the other side. - - - . .. "I said that any body, not organized

any group or set of people have a right to differ and to believe that-something else is tne all-important thing which neither of the two parties stands for. and so those people who believed that prohibition was more important than everything else combined, had a perfect right to organize a political party to bring about the establishment of the thing for which they stood. "You have a right in a democratic country under free institutions even to establish a political party to change the form of your government, if you do it in accordance with the methods prescribed by- the constitution under which we live, and you have a right even to organize a political party to accomplish that purpose if you pro

pose to do it in a legal manner. Audi

so you have a right to organize a po

litical party for the furtherance of any j

principle or set of principles, and whether you are in a minority or a majority. ' "But when, without being organized as a political party, any organization seeks to exert political influence, to coerce officials, either in the legis

lative or administrative position, to their particular views, by intimidation ! or otherwse, by promise of support at j the elections, or by threatas, open or! covert, of opposition at an election,! such an organization in my judgment

is a menace to our free institutions and to representative government. "Now why? Because such an organization is responsible to no one. Because of occupying a position of merely holding the balance of power you can appeal to the weak-kneed and the spineless to carry out that for which you may stand regardless of the public good. It may be that the thing you stand for is in the public interest, but you are not to be the judge of that. No group except through the medium of an organization which can be made responsive and responsible can undertakft to pxrt nnlitioal nrwr

for the purpose of securing the adop-j tion of measures which they favor, orj preventing the adoption of measures j
