When the Hon. Samuel j. Ran

F. D.. Mussey, the -son-in-law and
private secretary of Gov. Foster, to
write Up the occurrences that trans
pred on the route of travel. Here
is what Mr.. Mussey said in one Of
his letters:

nounced roller skatiug,J and added
the following:

"And what is that doctor?"
"For this reason roller skating is
not now, INDUCED in by a good class
of people and the rink is not patron

ians. The time has passed when this
harmful roller skating was participa-
ted in by the best classes of people.
One visit to the rink will convince

Editor OF the Democratic county pa

odds, doing what he could for the

titled to the credit for reducing the
old time Republican majority of the

he has ever had for these services is
what he ground out ofthe DEMoCEAT,
by hard work, and the wicked curses

the time has come when his labors
for the party should not only be rec

We are reliably Informed that Mr..
Levi G. Gould, editor of the Eaton, O.,
DEMOCRAT, will be an applicant for
the position Of Internal Revenue Col
lector Of the 9th District ofOhio. Mr.
Gould has done valiant services for
the Democracy and deserves recogni-
ton. He has tOiled long and faith
fully for the best interests of his party.
A review of the vote of Preble coun-
ty for Il number of years back, indi-
cate that he has not labored in vain,
for we take it that a reduction from
800 Republicans to less than BOG, and
the frequent election of Democratic
officials could not be accomplished
without q well conducted Democratic
organ. This is Mi. Gould's first APP.
plication for Il recognition and we
hope he will get it.

We are informed that the friends of
Mr.. L. G. Gould, of Eaton, will ask

ternal Revenue for the Sixth Ohio
District under the incoming Admin

years he has been the editor OF the
EATON DEMOCRAT, one>of the ablest
advocates of Democracy in the State /;
and through his influence he has
waged q warfare against R~adica'isnI

He is competent manifestations
and painstaking-and honorabiy dis
charges all duties devo!ving upon
him. He has never been a seeker
after Office, but all who know him
recognize his ability and fitness to the
new Administration. His selection
would be a fitting recognition of the

to the Government a faithful officer.
We hope to chroniciehis appointment.

will be an applicant Tor the Internal
Revenue Coi;ectorship Of the 9th

the Eaton DENoCaAT has ranked
among the foremost OF the Demo-

has made a brave anu manly fight
against great odds, aud has largely
contributed toward reducing the
once strong Republican majority in
that county down to about two hun
dred. We hope Mr.. Gould's valuable
services will be recognized and prop
erly rewarded through the accession
of the Democracy to power.

According to schedules Just made

According to schedules just made
public, there are 1929 persons en-
rolled in the public employment of
the United States. Of this number,
1860 are connected with the Post.
office Department., $4,000 as post
masters and the remainder as clerks
or carriers. Of these postmasters,
the President appoints but 1920, and
the whole lumber of persons appoint
ed by the President is 493O. The
rest are made by heads of depart
ments and executive subordinates.
AS it is a fair estimate that these
officials were assessed on an average
five dollars each for campaign pur-
poses, realizing a fund of $579,64O,
it is easy to see where the campaign
Doodle of the Republicans came from.

We notice from our exchanges that
Mr.. L. q, Gould, editor of the Eaton

many friends as a candidate for the
position o fInternal Revenue Collector

ocrat. aud has been editing Il Demo-
cratic paper for the last seventeen
years. He has done faithful and eff
cient party service in Preble county
for years, and has been the most po-
eent agent in reducing The Republican
majority in that comfy so much that
it is now fairly placed on the doubt
full list in local elections. He deserves
recognition from the party OF the
State for his untiriug labor in times
when their was no hope of reward
from local success. He is honest and
capable in every respect, and bis APP
po;nlment to the position will only be
a just reward for III gathering devotion

That roller skating is injurious to
the body and health Of young per
sons because it is carried on to ex-
cess, there cannot be a doubt. Last
week we gave the opinion of an emf
nent Cleveland physician on the
matter, and below we copy the views
of several prominent physicians of
Dayton, from the Dayton Herald:
"Roller skating is the most harm
full sport that our young people can
indulge in" replied a well known
physician in reply to the question.
Il would rather send my little girl to
indulge in any sort Of sport before l
would consent to her going to a rol
Ter skating rink"
"Is there real harm in it?"
"Harm?' exclaimed the doctor, ~
should say there was harm, especial
ly to the girls and young ladies who
are just maturing into wOmanhood."
do you find the evil effects OF roll
lSi ohaVihS III yohi pIdC1iCe! III
quired the Herald man.
"Nine-tenths of the young ladies I
am now doctoring are sufferers from
the effects Of roller skating three
years ago." answered the doctor.
Let me cite a case to you. The young
lady belongs to one OF the best fami-
lies in Dayton, and al the time of the
opening Of the rink in Phillips Hall
was a prominent society lady, At
the time speak Of, she was plump;
rosy-cheeked lady and was to be adj
mired by all who like to look upon a
perfect woman. She skated during
the season. Now she is completely
broken down. Her plumpness has
given place to a lean haggard ap
p arance, and her once rosy cheeks
are seldom flushed.
lyon attribute the change to rol
LEI skating?"
Most enphatically I do" said the
doctor. Il think the greatest harm
to the rising generation is this
abominabie roller skating"
Another physician was approach.

Mr.. Gould is a lifelong Democrat I'M

ed the position more. If ability, la
Dor performed, and integrity go for
anything, Mr.. Gould should have the
place without opposition. If life la

for naught, then let ingratitude he
