Upon hearing that the Supreme court had denied the Mellor writ of Man damus against the County Board, we took it upon ourselves to go over to Mr. Mellor's office and ask him what be thought of the decision, and his an swer struck us with such force, that we thought it would be a matter of in terest to the general public as well as ourselves, tor upon investigation we find the facts correct as stated. Here is Mr. Mellor’s statement: While possibly the Supreme Court is not to blame for the decision, upon the facts as presented, still the injustice to the taxpayers is such as to cause anv thinking citizen of Sherman county to wonder at this kind of “justice.” In support of this assertion, I herewith append the following figures which more fully explain my position than any words I might be able to express. These figures show the amount of taxes to be paid for the year 1905 by the owners of the farms enumerated. Those taken from Ashton township are all in the immediate vicinity of the town of Ashton, aud somejot these are lailtt WKlcfrfcave been luted for sale at *50.00 per acre, and subsequently taken out of the hands of the agents for fear they would be sold at that figure. Here is the list. Study it care fully and draw your own conclusions: ASHTON TOWNSHIP. A. B. Conklin, ne 2t.*14.75 J. Blutr.er, se 21. 14.74 Jost Bturner, nw 22. 14.<58 .Tno. Zochel, ne 23. 14.76 Jno.

The close political race in Ohio shows what the republicans may fairly ex pect when they depart from the party’s ordained path of rectitude. It is a political organization that has always stood for the highest standards. Bat in Ohio it could not be successully con tended that it had measured up to the occasion or met the expectation of those who had wished it t<> justify its record. Unquestionably the state administra tion had been guilty of some entang ling alliances with the disreputable elements. This set the chnrch people of the state by the thousands against it The Methodist conference and other religious bodies resolved to offer a protest. The protest was registered at the polls. It brought the party vote down to a decided defeat It ought tc serve as a valuable lesson. The party can never afford to abandon its pnn ciplies or policies.—Fremont Tribune. The late election returns would seem to indicate that the opponents to the Roosevelt idea are muchly in tha minority. Senator Millard’s chances for re-elec tion to the U. S. senate does not seem enhanced by his non.comittal taik as to how he stands on the Roosevelt policy. Bishop Stephen M. Merrill of the Methodist Episcopal church died last Sunday evening about 11 o’clock at Keyesport, N. Y., of paralysis of the heart. The Supreme court has refused to grsnt Mrs. Lillie a rehearing, and she Will have to live her life out in the penitentiary, unless some future tender hearted governor comes to her rescue If the United States senate had its official ear close to the ground as the late election returns came rumbling in, it undoubtedly received a new idea or two in connection with its coming official duties. At least two candidrtes fbr super- ! t intendent of schools have been elected | j tn counties in this state who arendt,!, according to law, qualified to hold thef office, as they did not at time of election hold the necessary certificates, and much discussion is being had over the matter. One is a republican, the other a fnsionist. If tbs law holds good, they candot qualify, however scholarly and competent they may be, as they did not conform to the law previous to election.
