By unit per year (in advance, A Call To Duty In The City Of Hamilton. The nominalion of Congressman Barton for the innvoralty of Clereland is Inosl hopeful and encouraging sign of the times. Which 11 man who stands as high as he does in national conneila answers the call or duty "and derotes himself to local municipal nffnirs it means greater and belter civie government. American municipalities the weak link in the entire chain of governmental units, standing the greatest need of patriotic and eilirient wen, and offering to cilizens a high opportunity of working fur tie public good, When unen like Mr. Burton devote themselves to municipal polities, appealing, as they must, to broad-minded and intelligent citizenship, our cities will be lifted from their depressed condition of pficial morals, and started on the highway to better things.

And the lime will come when the benefits and the nivantages of city life will be shared by all. the people, through administrations which, in every: department, are truly worthy of American enterprise, honesty and' business ability. nomination of Mr. Burton, and his' willingness to make the race is simply A SACRIFICE TO DUTY, and the nueident! is partienTarly. applicable to the city vi Hamilton ad this very minute, when the deinocratic party leaders have unitedly asked three at the highestgrade: business INCI1 of our city to puke the race for board of public These men -incasure up in this communily just as strongly n5 does.

Br. Burton in These men will sacrifice, if they consent; jastcas Mr. Barton has sacrificed, but there arise times and conditions in the history of parties and of wren, when steritice is the thing neces. saly: for. the gord of all she people.

The Temperal-Son hopes, within :1 few days, to rake public the names of three men who mill accept the wanimous their party. The men are not candidates; they are being drafted; the offee is seeking the men and back of them is the unanimous choice of the democratic party as expressed by the leaders of every shade of opinion; 1 About "Organs." Tie. Republican News seems Lathe very' greatly worried because the; Demoerat-Sun and the Middletown News Signal are and adrocating, in their respective cities, corlain candidates for Several times these livo papers, and the Democrat-Sun in hay been the oh. ject. of: sima commant heeanse there was an absence of 'taking in part The primaries." 1 C.

Now we would like to ask the Republican-News to irsi readers when it ever took any part in a- repuhlican primary. The DemeritSun has been called an "organ" because it dues riot deem it necessary to take part in the party Dit the ever take part. in one of its party primaries?

Ty this some connection there is another custom at the courthouse allat might well be dispensed with for the tom of giving retiring oficials a present of same reason; this is the CHISelry, some kind--furniture, This practice Is just as full of insincerity as is the of wagon load of towers to the incoming officials. giving a heart A and gift to mean anything to the reripient must como from it would be a fracture of truth the and.

What are the conditions? Thy council al Hamilton passed 4112 ordinance fixing certain boundary lines. The lay says the county commissioners must' concur; in other words the action of annesation, in order to be accomplished, must be concurrent by the city conneil and tie' coinsuissioners; 'The council cracted the ordinanco withont any reference to the The Democrat says now as it said at the time, that the honndary limes HIS created by council took in some Corms properly that should hare been. left ent aml left out some that in all fairness, have been included.

The county commissioners favor annexation and a- Greater Tamil. ton. The city council farors anuezation and a Greater Hamilton. The only point at issue is getting the boundary lines as nearly and right equitable as possible and this is whit the county commussioners are now considering.

The Democrat-Sim takes the position that NOW is the time 1o arrauge the boundary lines Rictry nut if. in the judgment of the comslight changes should be made, then missioners make the changes, All this talk lay the Republican-News about violating pledges any to the pemple. of the suburbs is downright rot. The only pledge given was accomplish aunexation and give the new territory all the city advanto tages possible and ns soon as possible.

A Titled Foreigner Adopts New Method. A story comes from Schencelady, N. to the effect that when Miss Elizabeth Stoddard, of that city, was standing tar with Alrin De before the al, Koressy he confessed to her that he was an Austrian baron. Ito had wished to win the girl for love atone, and therefore, the -truth concerning himself was carefully concealed from her until just beCore the minister had pronounced the words which made her the nobleman's wife. 'The lady nearly fainted- when she learned that she was to hare a title, but she didn't hesitate for of the a moment to go on with her part ceremony.

Ilere, at last, we hare an American girl marrying 41 titled man for lore and love alone. De Koressy had worked as an electrical engineer, ious receiving a salary that was not large enough to make any girl very auxto marry him for his money, hence lie had a double assurance that he was winning a wife who had no thought of his his social conneelions. It is beautiful, or worldly possessions one thing that might he added to complete the happiness of think the of but inspiring: We can baron and his bride. How delightful it would be BLow if her father were to conSeas that he was a multimillionaire and concealed the explain that he had carefully fact, so that his daughter might he wooed and for won love. If this could happen the story would be worth Let 115 hope that other titled foreigners who dramatizing.

There have noon so many mistakes in the past that able. a change of proccilure is ricsirBaron De Koressy seems to have fond the that he and the right way. We hope girl may he happy ever after. When the school children of Hamlilton were buying dozens and dozens of lead pencils yesterday and Inlay for thier school work there was probably little thought of the close relation between pencils and the matter of forestry that is giving our poople and the government serious thought.

The Republican-News last night attempled to make some sport of the way the; word pennelle was spelled in Wednesday's issue of the Demo. crat-Sun. That paper spoke of FAu orthography so advanced that it makes simplitied spelling look like 311 anliquity." The only defense the Demo: crat-Sun has to offer for the spelling! it 11904l is Webster's International dictionary.

The spelling of the word may be right or it may be wrong, but of all the world, the Republican- has the least right. to offer any eriticism of any one. That paper's daily misinkes are so numerons and so hulierods, in spelling, sentences and headlines, that it is a joke in Hamilton and a by-word among newspaper purb. lishers. This paper has never scen fit, in a spirit al charily, to refer to the multitude of errors of our contemporary, but if we had as many mistakes every day and was the laughing stork: of even schoel children, we wwwld never refer to the mistakes, or shortcomings at any one cise, The Democral-Sms today 4111 envelope containing some clippings; from Friday and Saturday's issue of the Repablican-Sows.
