HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
volumes-and most of these are not long on the shelves, a tribute to the popular endorsement of selections made by the trustees. Refer- ence works of special value are in the collection, covering a wide range of history, biography, travels, and scientific subjects. Standard liter- ature is well represented. Fiction, which is most in demand, includes the work of the best writers. Leading periodicals are on file in the reading rooms. There are many government reports, but these are not listed, and remain in the basement, patiently and dustily awaiting someone to come along and ask for them. The top floor and base- ment are given over to assembly rooms, where literary, educational, musical and religious meetings are held. A museum collection of historical and general character has been started. Every summer Coshocton stops business for a day to go on a railroad excursion, part of the proceeds from ticket sales being devoted to the library.
Life in the country has come into closer touch with the city as a result of the telephone and that great institution of a more recent date, the rural free delivery of mail. It was in 1899 that H. H. Milligan conferred with the writer about bringing this service to Co- shocton County, and shortly afterward Coshocton R. D. No. I was established through Keene and Bethlehem townships. Today nearly two-score rural delivery routes are in operation in Coshocton County, including several extending from adjoining counties.
The piano is in the home, and the spinning wheel is no more, ex- cept as a decorative accessory. Even the feather-beds became repre- sented years ago by a vast progeny of plump and fluffy pillows, and something more modern and less overwhelmingly luxurious took the feather tick's place. The land is filled with spacious country homes with wide verandas and their air of homelike comfort. Lawns are studded with trees that have shaded the pioneer planters.
The self-binder harvests the wheat of Coshocton County, and corn is cut by machine, while some have experimented with milking cows by machinery. The phonograph is heard, and the bicycle long ago came into the country, and automobiles honk-honk all over the county in verification of the ancient prophecy that men would some day ride in horseless carriages, and fly through the clouds-for airship ex- periments have been made in Coshocton.
Ever since the sixties the Grange has been a growing factor in the thought of our farming community until now the farmers' in-

stitutes are principal conventions in various parts of the county. These organizations are designed to exert an educational influence along the line of improved farming, how to raise thirty bushels of wheat where the yield was fifteen to the acre, what kind of sheep to raise with the most wool, how to restore soil that has been cropped over and over, and saving what is possible of the timber before the sun bakes the life out of the land. The Grange is accomplishing that much needed thing for the agricultural interest-organization, the thing which has benefited every other interest, and the lack of which has been the one great drawback to the farmers in exerting the united influence that would be a power in accomplishing favorable results to themselves.

CHAPTER XI
THE PRESS - PARTISAN, COMMERCIAL AND OTHER- WISE -THE PASSING OF THE HIDEBOUND PARTY ORGAN -OBSERVATIONS TOUCHING EDITORIAL POLICY.
Among the most important signs of the times is the political policy of leading newspapers in the largest cities to publish the news of all parties, leaving the people to form their own conclusions from what they read in the news columns, or to adopt the views expressed on the editorial page.
In politics as in all things it has come to be the day of independent thinking. The newspaper in greatest demand is the one that prints the news impartially. This advance of the independent press, how- ever, is mostly in metropolitan centers. In the smaller field where county printing is given to the party organ there is less independence, though in recent years the item of county printing in Ohio has been considerably reduced.
Coshocton County is making tremendous progress in independent voting, while her party press continues. True the present-day par- tisanship of the local organs is not the intense, furious prejudice of the past, and to this extent reflects the change which is manifested the country over. The voters, however, have made such headway in the last decade that three-fourths of the ballots cast in local elections represent independent selection of candidates on various tickets. In many instances the voter's party affiliations cannot be detected from his marking of the ballot.
Of Coshocton's early press something is recorded in preceding chapters. To this is added an incident touching on the work here of Joseph Medill, as related by Ernest E. Johnson, well known in New York newspaper work and who was one-time editor of the Coshocton Age: In the garret of one of Coshocton's homes a bundle of musty newspapers, long since forgotten, came to light in 1889. They were
221
HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
yellow and crumbling with age. Those primitive looking little news- papers were the product of Medill's pen. The man who found them was a Whig, and in the dingy little newspaper office, where boxes served for chairs, quills for pens, and pokeberry juice for ink, they spent many hours debating the infant Whig planks that grew to giants within a decade.
This friend who perhaps sowed the seed of some of Joseph Medill's greatness was Thomas Humrickhouse. That musty old bundle of newspapers of another generation had more than a passing interest for him. He preserved them with jealous care until his death. There was history wrapped up in that nearly forgotten bundle. It recalled stirring times of half a century ago. Lincoln's greatness dawned only a little later. Medill had heard of the tall "rail-splitter." He and this friend whose counsel he so often sought discussed the views taken by this man in Illinois. They read and re-read an anti-slavery speech which the "Man of Destiny" made at Springfield.
"Who is this man Lincoln?" inquired Medill editorially. That copy of the Coshocton Republican should have had a place in historical records. Thomas Humrickhouse never forgot it .. He pointed out the paragraph to the narrator of this incident in 1889. There was his- tory-there was prophesy in every line of it!
Medill was essentially a man of action. He saw a wider field for the principles of which he was so ardent an advocate.
He was one of the very first to discover the genius of Lincoln, concludes Mr. Johnson. Medill wrote to Horace Greeley, saying : "This man Lincoln will bear watching; there's good timber in him." What a prophet he was!
Coshocton's first newspaper led a precarious existence. After Dr. Maxwell founded the Republican it was continued by John Frew as the Coshocton Spy, then Burket E. Drone published it as the Demo- cratic Whig, and after a year's suspension the name of Coshocton Re- publican was restored with the coming of Joseph Medill as editor. When he went to Cleveland the paper was acquired by H. Guild, but it again suspended until the office was sold to R. W. Burt who changed the name to the Progressive Age. James Matthews and Thomas W. Flagg were associate editors, and William A. Johnston was foreman. Several years later the paper was sold to A. R. Hillyer, and soon after- ward to Joseph W. Dwyer who received an appointment in the
223
HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
Treasury Department. The paper passed to Asa L. Harris in 1861, and the name changed to the Coshocton Age. At the close of the war Harris was appointed postmaster at Atlanta, Ga., and T. W. Collier became editor of the Age. A dozen years later it was pur- chased by A. W. Search and J. F. Meek, and subsequently the last- named conducted it alone. Mr. Parrish was identified with the paper, and Ernest E. Johnson was in editorial charge until C. B. McCoy obtained the property. James Collier, foreman, retained a proprietary interest. In after years the Age Publishing Company was formed with $12,000 capital stock, and the paper issued daily. T. W. Morris, now of Pittsburg, was the first city editor. The present editor is R. C. Snyder, and the business manager E. H. Mack. They own the majority of stock. Other shares went to W. A. Himebaugh, C. B. McCoy, E. L. Lybarger, J. F. Meek, S. M. Snyder, Iva A. McCoy, Mrs. R. C. Snyder, Mrs. P. P. De Hart, E. O. Selby, George M. Gray, J. M. Compton, W. H. Crawford, Dr. W. B. Litten, George A. Hay, Matthew Crawford, M. A. McConnell, R. A. Crawford. E. C. Compton is city editor.
The Castle of Liberty and the Battle Ax of Freedom was the mil- itant name of a paper begun in 1831 at East Union by John Meredith and ended in Coshocton next year.
The Western Horizon was started in Coshocton in 1835 as a Democratic paper by County Treasurer William G. Williams. Rus- sell C. Bryan and Joseph F. Oliver were successively editors. When T. W. Flagg and Chauncey Bassett became the publishers the name was changed to the Coshocton Democrat. Following came Avery & Johnson, James F. Weeks, Dr. A. T. Walling, Rich & Wheaton, Asa G. Dimmock, A. McNeal, Wash. C. Wolfe, Dimmock & McGonagle. In 1866 John C. Fisher of Licking County assumed the editorial man- agement. C. E. Cottom was for years identified with the Democrat before going to the Standard. Ed Shepler succeeded him as foreman of the Democrat. While Mr. Fisher served in the State Senate the editorial work was done by the Rev. William E. Hunt, W. R. Gault and others.
For a year or so after the Mexican War a religious publication called the Practical Preacher was issued at Coshocton by the Rev. C. E. Wirick of Plainfield, and historical sketches of Coshocton County were contributed by the Rev. H. Calhoun.

HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
A literary periodical styled Young America, published by S. M. Rich and J. V. Wheaton, had a brief life here in the early fifties.
Nearly a score of years later a literary and local paper called the Saturday Visitor was published by H. D. Beach, who came from the Democrat and was associated with L. L. Cantwell. This was fol- lowed here in 1874 by an independent newspaper named the Coshocton People, published by H. D. Beach. It lived a year or so. L. L. Cant- well published the Farmers Home Journal monthly for a while.
With the beginning of the eighties the Coshocton County Com- monwealth was issued by the Ferguson Brothers as an independent newspaper for a few years. A leading newspaper founded in 1879 was the Democratic Standard, and the vigorous campaign conducted by the owner H. D. Beach, for a division of the Democratic share of county printing between his paper and Mr. Fisher's Democrat led Mr. Beach into political activities memorable in the annals of the county. The only way to obtain recognition from the county officials was to elect officials who would accord recognition. Mr. Beach made a personal canvass which resulted in an organization of young Dem- ocrats throughout the county who formed a power. They were known as the "Kids," while the opposition Democrats were termed "Mossbacks." The "Kids" triumphed in the election of Casimir Lorenz from Adams Township as County Commissioner, and there- after the Democratic portion of public printing was divided between the Standard and the Democrat. It was not until years afterward that the Kid-Mossback differences in the local Democratic party dis- appeared.
Linked with indelible memories of the Democratic Standard is W. H. McCabe, widely known, witty, humorous, always a fund of anecdote. His death marked the passing of the Standard. It was con- solidated with the Democrat, a stock company was formed, 1901, and a daily started, edited at different times by C. Scherer and D. H. Harnley. A controlling interest was sold to W. T. Alberson who is the present editor of the Times, as the paper has been known since 1905. John Moist, formerly of the Columbus Dispatch, is city editor.
The law formerly required the county official reports to be printed also in German papers, and the Coshocton Wochenblatt was estab- lished in 1880 by H. D. Beach and L. L. Cantwell. Henry Minig was identified with the paper. It was later edited by Otto Cummerow until
225
HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
sold in 1887 to Jacob Werner who has widely extended the influence of the paper.
Fourteen years ago the Coshocton Herald was published as an independent newspaper for a few months by Clem Pollock, who came from the New York World and who in recent years has been prom- inently connected with the Hearst newspaper interests in Boston and elsewhere.
In 1899 S. O. Riggs issued the Coshocton Republican a short time.
The same year the Coshocton Bulletin began its four years' life. T. F. Smiley, who today is well known in Pittsburg newspaper work as night manager of the Tri-State Press Bureau, was associated with the writer in the editing and publishing of the Bulletin. R. A. Craw- ford, State Building and Loan Inspector, was at one time a partner. The Bulletin was Republican-intensely Republican-365 days in the year. The principle of refusing to advertise medical quacks turned away dollars that were sadly needed.
A few years ago the Democratic Review was published for a short time by C. E. Cottom.
The United Laborer was established, 1908, by Charles McCort and Rufus Wolfe.
At Bakersville the Press was published by A. Rippl, now a manu- facturer in West Lafayette.
In Warsaw the Clipper was printed first by Mr. Crom, then by G. S. Bassett, on a press of heavy beams, old iron and things. When this mixture was agitated at one end, the cylinder started on a dizzy flight to the other end of the press, and you waited expectantly for something to go off. The catastrophe which followed each time was a copy of the Clipper. Afterward came the Neutral, edited by E. E. Hays, author of the official report of "Ohio at Vicksburg" and the "History of the 32d Ohio." In Plainfield Charles A. Platt issued the Sentinel. The Press appeared at West Lafayette, succeeded by the Indicator, the only paper now issued in the county outside the city.
Harry Ferguson's humorous writing has made the Indicator known a long way from West Lafayette. A specimen at random is his skit on the Vanderbilt-Szechenyi wedding, in which he mentioned the bridal trousseau worth two or three Tuscarawas valley farms, the honeymoon in a Newport villa, the light housekeeping on a yacht,
226
HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY
then the usual misunderstanding about some actress, after which the two family residences farthest apart that would be used most. This is contrasted with another wedding-John Jones and Mary Brown- the bride jeweled with a fifty-cent breastpin and wearing her hair frizzed, while John has a $16 tweed and new shoes that hurt his feet and squeak. Their honeymoon is in a little house on the hillside where John's call of the pigs is sweet melody to Mary, and his glad- some "Pooy, pooy" is accompanied by the soft, gentle strains of the dishpan. Fifty years hence, observes the philosopher, just look around for the Joneses, in the trades and professions, in high places-men of character and usefulness. Then look up the Szechenyis.
As previously noted the day of the hidebound party organ is passed, and newspaper-making is now so much a matter solely of accu- mulating money that there is danger of a commercial thralldom, in- sidious to the welfare of society. A press under venal control sup- presses news or alters it at the dictation of private interest; reports are garbled and biased through sinister or mercenary motives, and to advance personal schemes.
Newspapers conducted only with an eye to money-making, regard- less of principle, may win the applause of the shallow-minded always impressed with the sight of dollars, but such a press conspicuously fails in its pretended public service.
In its highest and broadest sense the press should champion the rights and liberties of the people; it should serve the whole com- munity ; nothing should stand in the way of devoted service to the common interests. Of necessity, this means an editorial policy that must beware of all entangling alliances, political, social, commercial. which may limit or embarrass such service.
The wrongdoer fears nothing so much as he fears publicity. A vigorous, impartial press is a blazing sun, blighting workers of iniquity. Turn on the light. Let us walk in it rather than in dark- ness. And let the people realize in time, and not when it is too late, their own responsibility of extending full support to an honest press, the advocate of industrious peace for the highest and best develop- ment of this city and county, and the advancement of justice.

CHAPTER XII
VOLUNTEERS IN THE SPANISH WAR-AT FEVER STRICKEN CAMP ALGER -COSHOCTON SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES-PRESENT REPRESENTATION IN BOTH ARMS OF THE SERVICE.
When the Spanish mine under the waters of Havana harbor sank the United States battleship Maine on the night of February 15, 1898, sending 266 souls into eternity, and war began for the freeing of Cuba from the oppressive rule of Spain, Coshocton County was ready again as she always was in the defense of the country.
Here the American spirit was as strong as in the days of old. Nearly two-score years had passed since the last war-a commercial era in which every energy of the community was directed toward the arts of peace. But when the country again called upon her young men the sons of Coshocton responded with all the patriotism which actuated the boys of the sixties.
They went out to endure hardships and they did it like Americans. True they traveled better, while their predecessors rode in anything in the shape of a car that could be found. But when the boys of '98 reached camp they endured 28-mile practice marching, slender fare, and sleeping on the ground in rain. About the only complaint from our volunteers was that they were not permitted to go where the fighting was.
The Coshocton volunteers went from Camp Bushnell, Columbus, to Camp Alger at Washington, D. C. In that fever-stricken camp where troops of the United States suffered much from the scourge of typhoid there were eighty cases in the Coshocton company. In August Company F went to Camp Meade near Harrisburg, Pa., and remained on duty there a month, when peace followed the short, sharp and decisive victory of the United States over Spain whose navy had been sunk at Santiago and Manila.

THE BENCH AND THE BAR-THE ADVOCATE OF YES- TERDAY AND THE BUSINESS LAWYER OF TODAY- ADVANCE IN JURY INTELLIGENCE-DISAPPEAR- ANCE OF EMOTIONAL PLEADING.
It is not necessary to go outside Coshocton County courts to note the emphatic distinction between modern methods at the bar and those that prevailed in earlier times.
The advocate of yesterday and the business lawyer of today present widely different types in the professional pages of Coshocton life. For one thing emotional pleading belongs to the past. The change to the more matter-of-fact address may be attributed to the advance in jury intelligence.
