THE POST FEBRUARY 10 1912-PAGE 3 JURY IS INVESTIGATING POOLROOMS The grand jury, which is in session in Covington, took up the cases of the poolroom proprietors who were arrested last Saturday night in raids made by Chief of Police Schuler, and numbers of young boys who were caught appeared to testify. Police Judge Read, after fining the proprietors of the poolrooms yesterday, refunded the fines on the ground that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, and the cases were then taken up by the grand jury. It was expected this morning that the grand jury would return a partial report, but it failed to do so, and may not report until Monday, Fel. 19, when it will have to report, as it must be dismissed that day, when a grand jury is drawn at Independence on Feb. 20.

JUST A JOHNNY, TAKE BABY UPSTAIRS AND (WASH HIM -WASH HIS CLEAN )JOHNNY FACE Aw SHUCK, IF JOHNNY OBJECTS TO THIS 5 4. Spare -LET HIM DO IT THIS WAY AN ANALYSIS OF THE WORK OF THE CHARTER CONVENTION THIS WEEK BY C. C.
LYON, Staff Correspondent, COLUMBUS, Feb. events in the Constitutional Convention this week were the killing on Tuesday of the old fable about the sacredness of our jury system and political suicide on Thursday of Governor Harmon. Both tragedies were witnessed by large and appreciative indicative of the progressive sentiment of the people of Ohio that 93 delegates, out of 104 voting, should declare for a change in the present jury system so that nine jurors may return a verdict in civil cases. As explained by many progressive delegates, a nine-juror verdict will practically put an end to "compromise" verdicts, which usually give a man less damages than he is entitled to, merely because the defendant, most often a powerful corporation, has one "friend" on the jury who is able to dictate terms to all the rest. After scores of indignant initiative and referendum champions got through commenting on Harmon's attack on that principle Thursday, additional comment appears to be quite useless.
The unvarnished truth, however, seems to be that the Governor went the convention hall a much more popular man than he went into, and also a whole lot nearer the White House. It is doubtful if his worst enemy could possibly have done him more damage than he did himself. LET PEOPLE KEEP CUDGEL HANDY When the initiative and referendum comes before the convention for final action one of the biggest fights will be over the question of percentages. Percentages refer to the number of names that will be required on petitions calling for initiative or referenelections. dump Progressives want low percentages so the people can get quick action against a crooked or a stubborn Legislature.
Reactionaries want the percentages as high as possible, so the people can't take matters into their own hands so easily. Delegate John Ulmer, of who learned about the initiative and referendum in Switzerland, his native land, made this explanation of low percentages before the I. and R. committee. Low percentages are like the hickory stick in the schoolroom.
If the teacher hangs the stick up so high she can't when she needs it, the bad boys of the school are going to run things. But let the teacher keep that stick right out on her desk, where she can grab it whenever there's a commotion, and she'll have a better school. DELEGATES REFUSE REACTIONARY DICTATION The election of President Bigelow was a sort of solar-plexus to the reactionaries, and the beating he gave them the very next day in their efforts to take committee appointments away from him made them groggy, but this week they came back and had to be whipped all over again. This time they tried to prevent President Bigelow and other advocates of the initiative and referendum from holding a caucus and deciding on the form of the I. and R.
plank before it is presented to the convention. Delegate Halfhill's resolution sought to discredit Bigelow, but the convention, being opposed to taking orders from reactionary sources, killed it deader than a door nail. The I. and R. men can 1 now hold their caucus in peace.
DELEGATES DIFFER ON GOOD ROADS PROPOSAL The good roads proposition was up this week, but met more opposition than was expected. Under the Lampson proposal, which is now before the convention, the State may spend approximately $10,000,000 a year, up to a limit of one per cent of the grand tax duplicate for the entire State, which would mean a total expenditure of about $65,000,000 for good roads. Nearly every delegate favors good roads, but some of the delegates from the big cities are objecting that their communities will pay more than their share. The delegates from some of the smaller counties are willing, apparently, that they should, but they're afraid that their own county won't get as many good roads as some other county. Then there are delegates who want the counties, and not the to supervise the spending of the money on the roads.
It State, looks as if a whole differences will have to be ironed out before a good roads plank is finally adopted. LIQUOR ISSUE REMAINS THE SAME There's no material change in the liquor situation in the convention. The lobbyists for the wets and the drys are still clawat one another's throats and making life miserable for most ing of the delegates. FOES OF PROGRESS FEAR PUBLICITY The last Legislature appropriated $200,000 for the holding of the Constitutional Convention, If, after paying salaries, mileage and other expenses, there is any money left, it will be used in getting out an address to the people, telling them what the convention has done and urging them to ratify the convention's work. If there's one thing the reactionaries don't want, it is for that address to reach the people.
The other day the convention was voting on a resolution to spend $60 a day for official stenographers. This conversation was overheard between two dyed-in-the-wool reactionaries: First One: "I'm going to vote for this resolution." Second One: "You are? What for?" First One: "Well, I want to exhaust that d- appropriation as fast as we can." Second One: "Then I guess I'll vote for it, too." SLAPS AT OHIO SUPREME COURT The Ohio Supreme Court has been slapped again, this time by special subcommittee. It told the convention this week that a that venerable hope of the reactionaries, the Ordinance of 1787, be ignored as far as the convention is concerned. The Sumay Court of the United States, says the subcommittee's report, preme has held, at least a dozen times, that ancient document went out of effect when the people formed their own States and adopted their own constitutions.

She asks $5000 damages. MORE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SECOND CAMPBELL JUDGE In a published statement Senator Webster Helm says that Campbell-co.
pays a large excess tax to the State, and by having two Judges, Campbell would get some of it back. Campbell would only get back into the county the $3000 which the State pays on the salary of the new Judge, and that county would have to pay the balance of that It would make necessary an additional stenographer, at $1000 per year. Then the Sheriff would be compelled to appoint an additional Deputy to wait upon the new court; the clerk would have to appoint another deputy to record its proceedings. A new courtroom must be provided. The county' expenses are increasing fast enough without creating new offices.
The general expense fund of the county amounted in 1898 to in 1910 it amounted to increase, $11,410.00. ounty has published no The statement fact that Kenton-co. for 1911. has two Judges is no reason why Campbell year the should business have in two. Ken- In ton-co.
