Here are some reasons President
Wilson gave why sugar should be on
tho free list:
Because it goes Into the stomach of
every man, woman and child.
Dccause, nurtured with high tariffs
ns an Infant Industry, it Is or Bhould
bo able to face any foreign competi
tion. Because, primarily, It Is a necessity
of life not a luxury.
President Yuan Shlli Kal of China
has issued a proclamation to the peo
ple, and which Is supposed to bo di
rected especially at Dr. Sua Yat Sen,
who threatens to start another revolu-
tlone. In which tho president states
that ho proposes to rule China and en
forco order. Perhaps Dr. Sun wants
to stir up a muss similar to the con
dition that exists In Mexico. If such
bo the aim, it will be a gloomy out
look for the establishment of a stable
government undor n republic in China.
Republican state officials used the
Uate treasury balance to niako money
for themselves and their friends; un
der a Democratic administration it is
being used to make monoy for the peo
ple, In Columbus recently, a nicssen
ger who carried the money testified
that 40,000 was taken from the state
-treasury during a Republican regime
and was sent across tho street to stop
a run on a bank owned by Republican
politicians. Tho sight of the money
rearaurod depositors and the run was
stopped. In four years of Democratic
rule, tho state treasury balance wns
deposited at free competition by all
Ohio banks and $625,000 of Interest
waa earned.
The 'alien-land bill has been passed
by the California legislature In its ob-
Jectldnnl form In defiance of the ef
forts of tho national administration to
have ollmlnnted phraseology which
contains an unnecessary sting,' can
ncompllsh no good lu adding force to
the law, and only Invite trouble. The
governor of California announces that
ho will withhold his signature to the
act to Rlvo President Wilson "a ions
onnble tlmo lu which to offer whatever
objections he may care to offer." Of
little- avail would be any objections
presented to tho ui ch-demagogue gov
ernor of California, who followed the
Insulting riximrk with his usual blus
tery mid demagogic harangue. Somo
people out In California huoiii to bo

COX TO THE PRISONERS
"The penal legislation lathered by
Governor Cox uud enacted Into law
will mako Ohio tho foretuo.it state In
prison reforms," sas Mrs. Maude Hal
lington Booth, national commander of
the Volunteers of America, whose
work In the prisons has made her fa
mous. "I wish I could kidnap Govern
or Cox and put him lu Albany, N. Y. I
wish I could multiply him several
times and place the products lu a num.
bor of our states,' continued Mrs.
Booth.
Tho encomium was given by Mrs.
Booth In Columbus last Sunday even
ing, after she visited the Ohio peniten
tiary with Governor Cox and beard his
address to the prisoners, Guards sny
,that novur within the history of the In
stitution was so much enthusiasm
aroused as that which greeted the re
marks of the stuto executive.
An appropriation of $250,000, has
been made for the purchase of a state
farm, which Is to be worked by the
prisoners, and after speaking of the
transfer that Is to bo made of the men
from the gloomy old structure to the
Country, tho governor said: "I want
"ou to let your minds take you back to
themeinory of tho crooning love songs
of .your mother; I want you to hear
the morning chorus of tho birds, to
fee! the stimulating influence of moth-
i'fi t nature. It will do you more good

explanation was lven of the new
laws Under which law violators are to
bo given Indeterminate sentences, with
the period of incarceration depending
upon the conduct of the prisoners, and
another act which provides remunera
tion for the prisoners for all work
done, the excess above the cost of
maintaining them to be Bent to the
families of the men. "I want you to
be able to send your money for such
work back home and show them that
this state Is not a vicious one, but one
that is seeking to build up citizenship,
oven through the prison cell," said the
governor.
To tho prisoners whose families at
home, the mothers' pensions act was
explained, and, this request was made:
''Any time you get a letter from home
that your folks are having a hard time,
I want you to write me about It, I will
have their cases investigated by rella.

0. To le Asked To Re
store Fast Trains
The regular monthly meeting of the
ML Vernon Citizens' Association was
held Wednesday evening nt 7:30 o'
clock at the city council chamber with
a fair sized attendance. President
Ackerman was in the chair and the
mlttocs of the previous session weie
read by Secretary Rimer. -
The chlof matter brought to the
attention of tho association was In
regard to announcement made that
the Camp Glass factory is to leave Mt.
Vernon and locate in Huntington. W.
Va.
A report was made by tho new- In
dustries committee In reference to the
matter. Tho commtttco reported that
a conference had been held some time
ago with Judge Frank p. Levering,
the attorney for the Camp company,
In which the company presented a
proposition asking the citizens of Mt.
Vernon to assist the company In pur
chasing and Installing gas producers
In their plant In Mt. Vernon. It was
shown that gas producers would coat
130,000 and the company asked for a
bonus of 115,000 from the city. The
committee felt that this proposition
was, not at all advantageous to tn
city.
After some discussion the report of
tho committee wns accepted.
The suggestion wns made that the
ground on which the buildings of the
Camp Glass company are now located
would be valuable for the Citizens' Ah
soclatiou to own ns some other Indus
try could be secured to locate on tho
bite. Upon motion ,of Mr. Robinson
the new Industries committee was
authorized to take up the matter with
the Camp Glnsi Co. In legnrd to tho
put chase of tho site and to report
buck to tho association at the next
meeting. It was reported that tho as
sociation already has considerable
lands to pay down on the purchase
of tho ground.
Tho transportation committee was
directed to confer with the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio rallioad
and see If they could not be Induced

CONTRALTO

Is Considered Mist Pipilar
In The Country
(By H. W. Bowden)
Only part can be said In this article
about the great contralto who will ap
pear at the May Festival. More in
formation will be given In later pa
pers. Suffice to state now that she
will eclipse any singer who has ever
appeared In Mount Vernon and prob
ably any that will ever appear at least
for some time to come. At the end of
another season It is expected that her
popularity, standing and reputation

Mt.
will be such that we will never again
be able to put up enough money to
secure her services. It might be well
to state now, however, that she will
appear in her greatest glory and most
captivating roles at the AVednesday
Matinee. It Is regretted that the great
expense of keeping the artists here
prevented having this recital In an
evening. However, In view of the
closing of the schools In t time for tn
entertainment, and the willingness of
the mei chants and business me.n to
excuse their employees during the
Utile of the recital It' Is hoped that
practically everyone will be permitted
to enjoy the afternoon part .of the pro
gram. They will be delighted, en
tranced, bewitched by Alma Deck for
she literally storms her audiences.
