The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-11-23

Just aboIt the time the railroads re-
considered their idiotic scheme not to
employ anybody over thirty-five years
Of age an officer In the United States
navy arose and declared that nobody
over fifty is fit to command ship.
He ought to be tapped for the simples.
That rule would have put both Dewey
and Schley out Of command. 1t would
have placed Lord Nelson on the retired
list before the battles Of Copenhagen
and Trafalgar. If that rule had been
applied to the army Cromwell would
never have been permitted to be a sol
dier at nll, and Andrew Jackson would
have been running his farm in Tennes-
see instead Of whaling the British at
New Orleans. If it should be applied
to the navy, why not also to the army?
Osler and his disciples are rum lot
of fools.

Don't spoil the Park
Mr.. Editor;

Mr. Editor;
A petition was presented to the Com
mon Council requesting the locatlon OF the
power house of the new water system on
the park grounds, instead OF upon the
lots purchased for that purpose in the
western part CT the city. | think the
council made a mistake in granting the
petition and they ought to rescind it at
once.
The power house should be located on
said land in the western part OF the city
for the following reasons:
The resolution to that effect was
first passed by the Common Council.
2-The resolution to use these lands for
this purpose was submitted to the electors
at the special election called for that pur-
pose,
5-The electors voted to issue bonds
in the amount of ten thousand dollars for
this purpose.
4-These bonds were purchased by the
Royal Trust Company upon such repre-
sentaton expressed in the resolution.
5-We should be CONSTANT and a
change of intention could well be inter-
peted as bad faith in that resolution.
6-The Park grounds are too limited for
a power house, coal yard and park.
z-The power house will be a building
to be proud of and should not be screened
by park trees, but should be placed in an
open where it would add to appearance
of the city,
8-If placedin western part Of city it
would tend to balance the town and not
be lost in cluster Of factory buildings.
9-The pumping across the city to
stand pipe is no objection as only the sur
plus water goes to standpipe.
