,? AGE POUR THE DEMOOEATIO BANNER TUESDAY, AUGU8T 2, 1910 AlOUNT VERNON, OHIO FRANK HARPER, Editor SoixiJ.-'WroolatJLy 5 MONUMENT SQUARE ubBcrlption Hate 1 160 per yna Entered at tho Mt. Vornon, 0., post ttlce aa second clan mall matter. WHY COX SWITCHED If you don't bellevo that Cox alono is responsible tor the nomination of Harding Just fix your mind for a niln uto on this paragraph in tho report of convention proceedings published by Tho Ohio State Journal, (Rep.) lu its Issuo of July 28, second page, first column and fifth paragraph from tho top: "Cox's sudden coup of Jumping to Harding on tho third ballot not on 4y stopped the rush to Longworth but punished Senator IJurton for break ing his noted deal with Cox." Nothing better than Republican au thority Is need to prove that the Cox brand was stamped all over the nom ination of Harding for governor, If Drown was an undesirable can didate because Cox backed him on two ballots bow much more doBlrablo is Harding as a candidate with Cox back of him on the third ballot? j. , HARMON DLAZED THE WAY In his speech accepting nomination for govornon Mr. Harding said: "Wc aro going to promise to have this -state of Ohio economically administ ered; wo aro going to preach econo my and then we are going to practice economy." Sounds well, doesn't It, In former years, however, the troublo was that Republican candidates were always promising and preaching economy without practicing It after being elected. Rut thoro was a change Just as soon as Judson Harmon was Inaugurated governor of Ohio. All that Is needed uow is to givo Governor Harmon tho support of a compluto roster of public olllclals by electing thnso candidates associated with him on thu stato ticket, and to give him also u legislature with a Democratic majority In both branch es. Then, you can depend upon it, thoro will bo tiot only promising and prenchiug of economy but also tho practicing of economy lu public of- flco. NOTHING IN AN ECHO Incidont to tho Republican state -convention a Republican paper re ferred to Dick as "Ilurton'H echo." That was unfair lo Dick. Judging by, tho vote of the two Ohio senators when tho tariff was revised upward, Uurton having voted with Aldrlcb 118 times and Dick having voted with Aldrlch 12G times. Ilurtou Is Wick's echo lnstoud of Dick being Rurlou's echo. Whichever way It Is, Ohio should have have something more 'Hubstnnllal than an echo in tho Unit ed Statos senate. Thon why, should a Republican leg islature bo elected this year to turn Dick out merely for tho sake of put ting In his place some other Republic an no more satisfactory than Ilurtou? Anybody a Democratic legislature might choose for senator would bo moro ncccptablo to Hie peoplo of Ohio than Dick, or Merrick, or Daughorty, or Brother Charles, llosldos, a Doiuo- emtio legislature In needed (o give proper support to Governor Harmon in tho good work ho has instituted at Columbus ami which should bo com pleted before ho In called to Washing ton to rectify thu many blunders of Jho Tnft administration. FINALLY HARDING "With pralao for Tnft In Longworth's wpooch as temporary chairman, In Rurton's speech as permanent chair man, lu tho platform as presented by Dick lu llatdlug's speech urcoptlug his nomination, imihvltt approval of tho Tnft-AldilchCannon tariff all along thu line, the statu Republican convention of Ohio launched into the campaign of 1'JIO with Wniron G. Harding of Marlon as the standard bearer and exponent of stand-put poll les. Tho convention began with stand pattlsm and ended with stand-pat-tism. It made stuud-pat nominations on a stand-pat platfoim with tho urro- gant presumption that the voters of thnt party must ahhte by thu party fetish from now on and throughout tho campaign until sat down upon by thoughtful nnd Independent voteis at the ballot box in November. Having failed to land his pet can 'dldato on second ballot, notwithstand ing bis blulllng bet and his posltivo declaration that he would iitanil by Judgo Drown of Daytou to the bitter ond, Cox arose in thu midst of tho third ballot and put his brand all ov- or Harding by switching to him tho cntlro vote of Hamilton county. Up to that tlmo Harding was losing steadily on third ballot With every Indication that ho could not land, when Cox swung nround with his whole strength and forced tho nom ination of Harding as a slap at IJur ton because Uurton failed to keep his agroemont with Cox to support Ilrown. During his political career Warren G. Harding has been on all sides of Important questions nnd In all fac tions of his party. Starting some years ago as a follower of Foraker, he has lu turn been for Hanna, and Herrlck, and Harris, and now, finally, for himself. Loyal to none no doubt ho expects loyalty from all tho friends of those who never could count upon him lu tho trial and stress of politic al reverses. With Harding matched against a man of stamina, courage, Integrity and ability like Judson Harmon, tho battle lines for tho campaign of 1010 aro fixed and no reason appears or has been suggested that should change the trend of public thought and ac tion toward "Harmon and a clean sweep" In November.

WO 11 Necessary To Make The Fair A Success This Year How often wo have heard tho re mark, "I don't see why Knox county can't have as good a fair as any other county." Wo want to answer In this way: Wo must remember that to make any public enterprise of this sort a success two things aro very necessary. First: the people must bo in harmony with tho movement. In other words, they must he boosters not knockers; It doesn't cost any more to boost an enterprise that It does to knock It, and how much better It sounds. Second: tho board of man agers of directors must be made up of representative men who are unselfish, unbiased and their whole and only ob ject It to make the fair Instructive and entertaining for tho patrons. Our board of directors this year is made up of one representative man from each township In tho county and four from tho county seat, who are working hard In various ways to make the fair this year most successful, and In so far as their labors are concerned we are assured tho best fair ever this year. And now tho citizens of Knox county, the mntter Is up to you, keeping In mind all tho time that It Is not a priv ate enterprise, but n public one, It Is your fair, so let us say in conclusion wo will all pull together and boost our fair, nnd maco the great reunion Sep tember 13, 11, 13, and 10, 1910, the best ever held in the state of Ohio.

WORSE THAN LION OR TIGER. Belies Its Prey by the Throat and Clings With Its Claws Until It Breaks the Spine of Its Victim or Strangles It. Less In size, but oven moro ferocious, tho leopard has a worse character than tho tiger or lion. Living mainly In trees and very nocturnal, this flerco nnd dangerous beast is less often seen than far rarer animals, it is widely spread over tho world from tho Capo of Good Hope to tho Atlas mountains and from southern China to tho Black sea, whero It Is sometimes met with in tho Caucasus. Any ono who has frequented tho zoo for nuy tlmo must havo noticed the difference in jslze and color bqtween leopards from different parts of tho world. 'On somo tho ground color is almost white. In others a clear nut brown. Others are Jet black. Wherever they live leopards aro cat tle thieves, sheep thieves, dog thieves and humnu being thieves. Though not formidable lu appearance, they aro Im mensely strong, and It Is not unusual for them to turn man cater. Both In India and in Africa they have beeu known to set up In this lino as delib erately as any tiger. They have four or five young at a birth. The cubs can be kept tamo for some time and are amusing pets, but It Is extremely dan gerous to have them about. In Hongkong an Englishman had a tamo leopard. It was brought Into the dining room by n coolie to he exhibit ed to the owner's guests. Excited by tho smell of food, the leopard refused to go out when one of tho women, who did not like his looks, asked that It be removed. Tho coolie took hold of its collar and began to haul It out. It seized him by the neck, bit It through and in a minute the coolie was dying, covered with blood, on tho dining room tloor. The Chinese leopard ranges as far north as the Siberian tiger and, like the latter, seems to grow larger the farther north It Is found. The color of t&ese northern leopards Is very pale, the spots aro largo and tho fur Is very long. The natives of all countries aro unnn imous In declaring that tho leopard is more dangerous than tho liou or tiger. They hnvo no fear of the Hon, provided thoy are not hunting for It, for it will not attack unless , provoked, but a heopard Is never to be trusted. In Africa a number of natives were firing tho reeds along a stream. One of them, n boy. being thirsty nnd hot, stooped down to drink. He was Imme diately seized by a leopard. Tho boy's brother, with an iidmlrublo aim, hurled his spear at the leopard while the boy was In his jaws. The point separated tho vertebrae of tho neck, and tho leopard fell stono dead. But the boy could not recover. Tho leopard's fangs had torn open his chest and Injured tho lungs. Tho latter were exposed to view through the cavity of tho ribs. Ho died during tho night. Leopards are essentially troo living and nocturnal animals. Sleeping in trees or caves by day, thoy aro seldom disturbed. They do an Incrpdlblo amount of mischief among cattle, calves, sheep and dogs, being especial ly fond of killing and eating tho lntter. They seize their prey by tho throat and cling with their claws until they succeed in breaking tho Bplno or In strangling the victim. They havo a habit' of feeding on putrid flesh. This makes wounds Inflicted by their teeth or clnws liable to blood poisoning. Nothing In the way of prey comes nnils to tljom, from a cow lu tho pas ture to a fowl up at roost. in the great mountain ranges of cen tral Asia the beautiful snow leopard Is found. It Is a large creature, with thick, woolly coat and a long tall like a fur boa. The color Is white, clouded with beautiful gray, like that of an Angora eat. The edges of tho cloud ings nnd spots are marked with black or darker gray. The eyes are very large, bluish gray or smoke colored. It lives on tho wild sheep. Ibex nnd other mountain animals. In captivity It Is far the tamest and gentlest of tho large carnlvora, not excepting the pu ma. Unlike the latter. It is n sleepy, quiet animal, like a domestic. The West African leopard skin Is more hands'onie thnn the Asiatic, tho spots being very distinct and clear. Ho and she they usually go lu couples are fond of bunting cantonments and around native towns, where they pick up n goat and uow nnd then a baby. Ouo night I was camped In a natlvo town mill nftcr I had retired tho na tives, ns was their custom, wcro sitting about a great tire asking my caravan all sorts of questlous, for tho African Bttvugo is the greatest gossip In tho world. Suddenly a child's cry rang ,o'ut, followed by n great clamor. Rush ing out to discover tho cnuso of alarm, 1 was Informed that a leopard had stolen from tho dnrkuess and quick as a flush had -grabbed a four-year-old child and nmde off with It. Tho child was seated iu the midst of tho grown men nnd women. Tho latter could puly lament their loss. They knew it was useless to try to pursuo tuo ueasi into the dense bush. The leopard Is so bold that oven in daylight he will wander about a town or a white man's premises. It is not nt all unusual to get a good shot nt a leopard from a bungalow veranda ot a.uiud hut door. Pittsburg Dispatch. POSIOFFIC To Close The Day 01 The County Picnic Postmaster Sheridan O.

THE OPIUM HABIT. " Its Effects as Described by Bill Nye In His Memoirs. I havo always had a horror of opi ates of all kinds. They are so seductive and so still In their operations. They Steal through tho blood Uko a wolf on tho trail and they seize on the heart' With their whtto fangs till It is still forever. Up the Laramie thero Is a cluster of ranches at the base of the Medicine Bow, near tho uorth end of Sheep mountain. Well, a young man whom wo will call Qurtls lived at ono of these ranches years ago, ahd, though a quiet, mlnd-your-own-business fel low who had absolutely no enemies among his companions, he had tho misfortune to Incur the wrath of a tramp sheepherder, who waylaid Cur tis ono afternoon and shot him dead as ho sat in his buggy. Curtis wasn't armed. A rancher enme Into town and tele graphed to Curtis' father, and then half a dozen citizens went out to help capture tho herder, who had fled to the foothills. They didn't get back till townrd day break, but thoy brought the herder with them. I saw him lu tho grny of tho morning, lying In n coarse gray blanket' on the floor of tho engine house. lie was dead. I asked, as a reporter, how ho came to his death and thoy told me, "opium." Tho murderer had taken poison when he found that escape was imnosslblc. I was present nt tho inquest so that I could report the case. There was very Httlo testimony, but all tho evi dence seemed to point to the fact that llfo was oxtlnct, nnd a verdict of death by his own bund was rendered. It was the first opium work I had ever seen, nnd It nroused my curiosity. Death by opium, It seems, leaves a dark ring around tho neck. I did not know this before. Peoplo who dlo by opium also tie their bands together before they die. This is ono of tho eccentricities of opium poisoning that I havo never seen laid down in tho books, I bequeath it to medical science. Whenever I run up against a now scientlllc discovery 1 Just hand It right over to the public without cost. Ever since tho nbovo incident I havo been very apprehensive about peoplo who seem to bo likely to form tho opium habit. It Is ono of tho most deadly narcotics, especially in a now country. . The Triangle Spider. An Interesting find Is that of tho triangle spider, which "spins ouc of the most remarkable types of spider's snares as yet known."
