It is characteristic of the easy going south, this wag ing until the last minute to do the things that sooner or later will have to be done. It is usually later, so we always put it off until later. Perhaps this is due to the seasons themselves. When summer comes along we have to make little prep aration.

It is to be hoped Chin voteis know where they are at and what they mean. People outside the Buckeye State, however, have a difficulty in arriving at any defin ite conclusion as to what the recent election in that StatJ m cans, for while National Prohibition was defeated by a maioritv of 542 there was a "dry" majority of 29,662 arainst the nr plained, however, by any one who has ever tasted mat kmd of stuff as a natural result. It is almost incon ceivable that any one really likes that kind of beer. It is a sham anil a delusion. But this explanation becomes doubtful when we find that the proposal to repeal State Piohibition was defeat ed by a 'V.ry" majority of 41.8 40. So another supposi tion is usrested that while Ohio is opposed to Federal I inhibition and 2.75 beer it is in favor of the State va riety, an explanation that seems to classify Ohio as will ing to be "dry.' I.ut it must be in its own way. But even this explanation does not explain, as on looking at the ote in mr.-.;d to the Crabbe State Prohibition Enforce ment Act we fin dit was defeated by a "wet" majority of 2(!,8:;8, from which it may be inferred that Ohio is in fa vor of State Prohibition but "agin" its enforcement, which, after all, may le a reasonable explanation. Ohio may want the kind of Prohibition Maine enjoyed for many years;, when the State got the credit for being more vir tuous than its neighbors while its citizens of the thirsty variety were also able to quench their thirst, but in a or less roundabout way. But as to 1-ederal iroiii- "PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON SCORES. The London medical students who on Thursday draggj ed "Pussyfoot" Johnson, the temperance strategist, from a Prohibition meeting and bore him through the streets on a plank, with opprobrious remarks and banners of pro test against all promoters of thirst, must have wondered next day who had the better of it. We can teU them, it was not the students. Mr. Johnson seemed to take his medicine calmly, and when seen in hospital afterward said that except for an injury to one eye he had "thoroughly enjoyed it." Of course the hurt eye was a nuisance; it "was blinded and All arangements for the transpor tation of the Putnam county exhibit to the State Fair have been made and the first truck load will leave here to morrow morning lor jacKsonvulo.

The cost of such transportation is also excessive. The Hollister exhibit forms the nu cleus for the county's display, and if there were nothing else but this it would be creditable. The only thing, lacking now is a suitable section, of c:irus fruits. This, says Mr. Can trell, is the most important of all, as it woul doff set the proclaimed asser tion that Putnam county was too high up to produce citrus fruit successfully.

The Times-Union declares editorially this morning that the iive stock exhibited at the state fair will be val ued at a million or more dollars. If the figures are cor rect it is sale to say chat never before in the history of ti e .-oath has suJi a collection of pure bred stock been biought together fur exhibition. During the big exposition in Charleston in 1902 it was ti e m.a,t of the management that this was the lar gest exhibit, of live stock ever assembled. The total val ve was about a quarter of a million dollars. George Weston, manager of the Vanderbilt fanns and Biltmore, was director of the department, and J. L. Shropshire, live stock director of the Kenluiky State Fair, was his assis tant. Tie two men worked for month to secure this exhibit. And it was .-plcndid. But the exhibit at Charleston came from all sections c; the not tli and west, there being practically no south ern cattie or hwme in tile show.

Secretary Daniels has asked Congress to appropri ate 000.OC0 to raise salaries of officers of the na.'y. This would allow for increases of from $480 to S 1,000 per year which leads the New Y'ork World to remark that navigators of demanded more than is sought for com manders of war ships. Chicago saloon-keepers preparing to reopen are warn ed by the legal authorities that they will be prosecuted under the Lever act if convicted of profiteering. This is a delicate consideration for the rights of the consumer of Hlcoholie beverages which is interesting because of it3 novelty. l- c. M'oi an to laeis: THE EVILS OF CLOTURE. This cloture rule is a standing reminder of pacifism ami pro-Germanism. It. was the Senate's insincere re3 pi n.-e to the popular indignation awakened by the elevt. wilful men who in March. 1'.m7, on the eve of war, de feated by dilatory tactics the Armed-Ship Bill. If never 1 as been enforced. If applied now, long after legitimate debate has been exhausted, it may operate on the one-member-one-hour plan to prolong for a fortnight or move a discussion that is serving no useful purpose. There are men in the Senate who have openly pro claimed their purpose at any cost to defeat the peace treaty. By various means they have prevented action rpon it for months. Amendment reservation and inter pretation have been all the same to them. Whatever t IT whnipver would weaken, whatever would c-iuse delay, has had their consistent support by voice and vote. We are not informed as yet as to the exact num ber of these bush whackers, but we do know that every survivor of the wilful eleven who is now a member of the Senate is active m their leadership and that they will not give up their most powerful weapon, the filibuster, eycept in the last ditch. As to Senator Lodge's own position, there may be some doubt .for when he began his fight upon the trea ty he said plainly that it was his purpose to carry it back 1, WITH OTHER EDITORS. :;: 4.4.4.4. 4 Ht , KEEPING ABREAST OF THE TIMES. There are 21, C04 newspapers and periodicals in the I nited States now, as compared with 7,!)lti in 1S94, and ,. numiier continues to grow. Half of all the paper -; educed ill the world is used in this country, though we i ave but one- fifteenth of the world's population. To e.id even an intinitismal part of the current literature I hut especially applies to one is a strain. lareiui rear. .ng of one or two newspapers will occupy an entire eve ning. To peruse the entire contents of one of the lar .est five-cent weeklies would take four or five evenings. To keep abreast of the times to make one-self fa miliar with the latest developments in literature, art, the drama, science, politics and the other fields in which wide awake persons are interested is well nigh impossible. 'I he average person does not have the time. The best that can be done is to read a newspaper or two with rea sonable care, skim the cream of a few magazines, and at ii.frenucnt intervals peruse a book. This condition has made it possible lor some gins associated with the University of Chicago to establish a business which promises to be profitable as well as pleas ant, since it fills a long-felt want. They read the most important publications and interview the college profes sors, and then issue a brief weekly review of the. world of literature, art, drama, music and politics for the ben efit principally of society women. Their clients, thus fortified, can discuss these subjects much more intelli- gently, at their dinners and cluD meetings, man u iney did not have this service. A good rule is to try to know something about every thing, and everything about something. Of course jie entails a struggle. But to have widely diversified knov edge, however scanty, makes life more interesting; while the possession of sufficient information on any subject -.3 make one an authority on it gives one prestige, ena II es one to comir.ind respect whenever conversation veers n that direction, and, is sure, sooner or later, to win one recognition as being worthy of attention.
