utmDrldge, Obio Thursday, May 31, 1906. It is remarkable what an increase isTmauifest in the number of dogs as returned by assessors this year as compared with former 3 ears. Tbe Presbyterian General Assembly now in session in Des Mi i its, Iowa, voted $1,000,000 to be set aside for the work of home missions.during the coming year. This is an increase of 1100,000 over the past year. The Presbyterian General Assembly has uttered a pronouncement against the use of tobacco in any form or manner by the ministers and elders of the denomination.

If the rule is strictly obeyed there will be a marked decrease of the internal revenue of tiie Government. An action has been begun in Franklin common pleas court to test the constitutionality of the Jones local option law. Tbe allegations are that toe law is not of uniform operation in the state and that elective matters are subject to ballots for which signatures to petitions cannot be substituted. The result will be anticipated with great interest. The manner in which the Republican organs of Ohio are flaying Senator Foraker for his vote on the rate bill, makes Democratic success more certain in the coming Congressional Herald.

Probably before a year passes these same organs will be lauding Foraker to the skies as the only Republican senator that had any sense. The state examiner of village accounts is turning over some of the clerks of Muskingum county villages because of their inability to comprehend and adapt their bookkeeping to the new order of things. We have not heard of any serious trouble in Guernsey villages, nor yet in the court house. Perhaps the inspection has not been entered upon fully; possibly our officials are expert accountants. board at night Hon JT M.

Carr, of Cambridge, superintendent of schools for the ensuing year, by unanimous vote. The board adopted a resolution requesting the teachers in the schools to refrain from taking an active part in politics. This may apply ouly to the teachers, who are nearly all women. Mr. Carr has had extensive experience as a superintendent, his last employment being in tbe Cambridge schools.

He formerly represented Muskingum county in the state legislature. It is estimated that if saloons are reestablished by a vote of the people of Cambridge about ten will pay the $1000 Dow law tax and begin operations. It will require much of argument and evidence to convince the majority of the voters that such a change is necessary or for the best of the people of the city. What is needed to make our city an ideal dry town is for the people to rally to the support of the Mayor and other officials and assist in enforcing obedience to the laws on the part of the brewerv and any drug stores that may be disregarding or violating the laws and the will of the people as expressed by their vote heretofore. In different places throughout the state certain county officers are being brought to book by grand juries and courts, on the charge of grafting.

It comes in different forms, but usually in connection with contracts for roads, bridges, etc. In Norwalk ex- Commissioner Prosser is on trial for accepting a "divvy" of commission with a bridge agent, the agent testifying that the accused said: "He thought he ought to have enough out of the contract to grease 'bis buggy with." and he got "the grease." The most important county office of all is that of Commissioner and if men are not thoroughly honest their opportunity for grafting is the greatest. This office demands not only men of unimpeachable integrity, but of experience and first class business qualifications. Inheritance Tax. Attorney General Ellis has express ed an opinion that all estates whose settlement was begun but not fully administered iiefore the repeal of the Inheritance tax law.shall come under the provisions of the law.

If the supreme court should decide the cases now pending in accord with his opinion, it will add the revenue of the state. An observing journalist says: "In the twenty-two months of its short life the law porduced for the State the net sum of $500,000. Two-thirds of this sum was paid in from Hamilton county. Three fourths of the whole amount came from the live arge counties. Cuyahoga county was $150,000 behind Hamilton in the amount of inheritance taxes paid.

'The record's of the State auditor's office show that while the law was in force it was not strictly enforced. The Probate judges were evidently not in sympathy with the law and did not report many estates that should have been taxed under it. Such large counties as Columbiana ana Jefferson county only reported two estates each under the law. There were five counties that did not report a single estate to pay the tax. They are Washington, Adams, Brown, and Jackson.

Two hundred estates are held up pending the su- ireme court's interpretation of the repealer law." The Cambridge Herald has entered upon its 38th year. We have often had occasion to mention our esteemed cotemporary and always in terms of the most profound respect. It is always a clean, bright, newsy newspaper; correct and courteous, it holds its patrons and deals in facts not gossip. The best wishes of the Jeffersonian are always with the editors and proprietors of the Herald, Messrs. Mehaffey and Ogier.

Official proclamation has been made of the union of the Cumberland Presbyterian ano the Presbyterian churches in the United States. The Cumberland is not a very strong body but has considerable valuable property. Our latest statistics show 2.648 churches and congregations, 1,584 ministers and 151,929 members. This branch was organized as the outgrowth of a great western revival in 1800 and 1803. The Cumberland Presbytery, acting under the pressure of the revival work, licensed persons to preach, and appointed them as pastors without the usual school train ing and examination in doctrine required in the Presbyterian church.

This gave offense and was declared a result the Cumberland Presbyterian church became a separate organization. One of the nominees of the Franklin county Republican convention is James T. Lindsay, for county treasurer. Mr. Lindsay is well known to the older citizens of Cambridge as he formerly resided in this city and was a well known business man of the firm of Bevmer Lindsay.

He is a well known retail grocer in Columbus and generally recognized as a man of high character and good business qualifications. President Cassatt is said to feel so deeply aggrieved at the conduct of some of bis understrappers as to contemplate resigning. Their testimony puts him in a false position as to the righteousness of the company's side line speculations Possibly the sarue condition of affairs mav prevail in the transactions of the Standard Oil company and if so it would be a graceful act on the part of President John D. Bockefller to resign also. Senator Burton, of Kansas, who it is not now likely will be able to escape the penalty of imprisonment received in fees for his improper services as attorney not to exceed $2,500.

Other senators have become very wealthy by means of their employment as attorneys for clients interested in government affairs, of which they have peculiar advantages. But Senator Burton acted a foolish part and his offense was specially reprehensible. The story is as follows: A speculative concern in St. Louis was denied the use of the mails by the postoffice department, on the ground that it was doing business in an illegal manner. It offered to pay Senator Burton if be would use his influence to have the order withdrawn.

He accepted and was paid a fee of 8500 per month for five mouths. A True Statement. It is becoming more and more plain every year that the people are demanding the best of material for their county officers. If their own party does not present a strong man they choose the candidate of the opposition party. It behooves the Democrats then to search out the best men for the offices to be filled.

It is a mistake to that Tom, Dick or Harry can be elected if he gets his name on the Democratic ticket. Not so! He must be more able, more competent, or more honest than his Republican opponent in order to get his own vote solidly and to appeal to the voters of the other It is especially important for the minority party to nominate only the very best men. If the majority party are dissatisfied with their candidate and turn in and elect the minority candidate and he proves incapable or fails to meet the requirements, it were far better for the party and for the people that he bad been defeat ed. The minority candidate should be in the highest and best sense a leader, competent, fearless, honest The time has passed by that any sort of man, who succeeds in securing a nomination can be elected.

ABOUT PEOPLE. ErlHI VM. Worth While? When a railroad president is told by three United States Judges that he broke a contract from 'sordid motives" and -'arbitrarily and dishonorably repudiated a contract" he may ask himself whether it was worth while. This is the judicial opinion of himself which W. H.

Truesdale, president of the Lackawanna, has to face. It is not pleasant, but neither is President Truesdale's action 'morally better than larceny." Incidentally Mr. Truesdale is the chairman of an insurance company's "house cleaning'' committee. --N. Y.

When the day comes, which God forbid, when the people Jose confidence in the courts of justice, anarchy is then established. Great corporations, insurance companies and powerful commercial influences are severely testing the integrity of courts, but in Uumerqusly pouring into signed petitions the senate from are the every state in the Union, appealing for prompt action in the case of Senator Reed Smoot, the Mormon. The dear creatures do not fail to observe that Smopt has held his position and drawn bis pay right along and that he will most probaoly continue to do so until tbe present session closes, perhaps longer.

But they do not recognize the importance of the political deal by which the electoral vote of Utah was bartered for the very place Smoot now holds.

It is proposed by these owners, who have no organization, but a mutual understanding that a test case be made in the near future on the grounds that tbe Commissioners are not a legislative body and even if they were, tbe present toll is an unjust discrimination against the motor car and its owner. A rate of two cents per mile is charged for carriages and the owners of automobiles hold, with good reason, that the wear and tear of the pike occasioned by a rubber tired machine is not to be compared with that of an ordinary carriage or wagon on which the lesser toll is placed. They further hold that an attempt to drive autos from the public highways by means of excessive toll, for tbe reason that horses are frightened by careless drivers of machines is a discrimination, unjust, as there are laws by which any one can secure damages, to which he is justly entitled. The matter of securing numbers and registering them is one that is not objected to, provided a satisfactory manner can be arranged.

The drivers are perfectly willing to register their names and numbers with the Mayor and County Commissioners, but the puzzling question arrises, who will furnish in such manner that they will not be duplicated? One of the local owners recently made application to Secretary of State Laylin for a number and state license and received the following answer, which further complicates matters: Columbus, Ohio, May 8th, 1906. Dear Sir: I am advised by the Attorney General that the act of April 2nd. 1906, requiring registration of motor vehicles in this department and obtaining license to operate same, is unconstitutional for the following reasons: 1. It is not uniform in its operations. 2.

It deprives municipalities of the power to regulate the use of its streets as to a certain class of vehicles. 3. Its provisions are indefinite and uncertain. I am also advised by him not to incur further liability, nor to take other official action thereunder until this act is construed, or its validity determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Secretary of State will be governed by the foregoing advice of the Attorney General.

Yours respectfully, LEWIS C. LAYLIN, Secretary of State. The outcome of this difference of opinion between Commissioners and motorists will be awaited with much interest by the public. Senator Morgan was once asked by an Englishman what college he had attended. He replied that the iirst time he was in college campus was in the civil war, when, with his command, he took refuge behind the brick walls of the college of William and Mary, in Virginia.

Taylor, of Bloomtield, which was announced in the Jeffersonian Saturday: For the past several days Mr. Taylor had been helping one of his neighbors, Benjamin Warden, sheer his sheep.

The work being completed, he and his son and Mr. Warden and two sons decided to take a day off and go fishing up the creek. Mr. Taylor thought it would be nice to take a swim after dinner and it was while in the water that he was seized with cramps. His cries for help were heard by the other members of the party who were helpless, not one being able to swim a stroke.

The body went down in about fifteen feet of water and was not recovered for nearly two hours afterward. The body of the unfortunate man was recovered about three o'clock and Dr. Moorhead worked for more than an hour to discover signs of life. Mr. Taylor came to Muskingum county about three years ago with his family from Guernsey county.

He was a prominent member of tbe Presbyterian church at Bloom field and at the time of his death was the superintendent of the Sunday school there. A widow and four children survive. The latter are Nellie, aged is, wno was formally connected with the county infirmary; Myrtle, aged 14; Ethel, aged 11, and Walter, aged 19.
