Maude May Babcock, of the State
University, came to the b. y. G. last
Saturday evening but was greeted by
a rather small audience. Monsieur
Beaucairc" failed to prove drawing
card but was intensely interesting to
the cultured people present. Miss
Babcock' 5 reputation is high and she
fully sustained it on this occasion.
The audiences that usually greet the
superb talent that is brought here is
enough to discourage the average per-
son, and it should be a source of con-
graduation that we have some people
long on nerve.

OF Interest to
School Teachers,

A suit of more than passing in
terest to school teachers in the
country districts hast been filed in
the court of Justice of the Peace
Seifert at Bremen by Perry AL
ford, who seeks to recover SIG
from the school board of Rush
creek township for services rem
dered by him as janitor. Hereto
fore it has been the custom of the
township boards to require al
teachers to care for the buildings
under their charge and perform
all necessary janitor service.
The school code which was pass
ed by the last legislature provide
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-09-21

"that no teacher shall be required
by any board to do the janitor
work of any school room or build
ing, except as mutually agreed by
special contract and for compensa-
tion in addition to that received
by him for his services as teach
er,
1t is under the provision of this
section of the code that Afford
seeks to compel the board to allow
him extra compensation for his
services in caring for his school
building.
The case is test case and if
Afford is successful it will be the
signal for the institution of a
number Of similar cases by teach
ers who have been performing like
services without added compensa
tion.

Veteran Editor
Against HerriCk.

Jefferson, o., Sept. 12-Amid
all the boiling of Boss Cox and
Herrick the local political sensat-
ion is the attitude of Jos. A. How
ellis the veteran editor Of the Ash
t,bula Sentinel, published at JEFF
ferson.
I For So years this able elder bro
ther of William Dean Howells, the
famous NOVELIST has preached
r. ep u b licanis SIN in h
Sentinel, the paper to which the
future novelist contributed his
first stories.
Editor Howels is now 73 years
old. II e h as ver be-
fore uttered word against Re-
publican candidate; but this is
what he says:
81 don't like machine made can
didates. l would if / could strike
out this preliminary preparation
of tickets in Washington as well
as Columbus. am opposed to
states.
81 warned the party against
the nomination of Herrick. l am
free to say now that he is the
party's candidate shat his nomina-
ton was not brought by wave
of popularity hut because it was
down in the books that he should
be nominated. The party bosses
ought to be taught lesson.
"Herrick was forced upon the
party against the will of the party.
We don't like hossism. There is
a difference between leader and
boss. Jo-hua II. Giddings had
things his own way, but he was n
leader and not boss. He carried
the people by his eloquence aid
he logic of his speeches.
mo Republican in this COM
muuity likes the way things were
done which brought about Herrick
nomination. Some of them will
support HIM but many talk open
ly against him. I'll ere is no
doubt but that we will carry the
county ticket. Some say that
Herrick will not carry Ashtabula
County; if he has majority at
all it will be very small"

Dean of the
Editorial Corps.

Col. Lewis Green, of Logan,
Grand Chief Patriarch of the Ex-
hausted Order of Haweaters, tar
ried with us Wednesday while en-
route from his ancentra! acres in
Perry county to his historic home
in Hooking. Since the Colonel
shed his editorial cares as a man
tie he is renewing his youth. A
full new set of uppers and lowers
have sprouted and his hair is re-
calling the lurid tints of earlier
days. He is devoting his days to
mining and farming and his nights
to philosophy. His farm, he says,
is a good one. His main crop is
blackberries and his live stock
consists of rabbits. His fences,
he says, are joint stock affair,bes
tween himself and an all-ruling
providence. Green furnishes the
ground and the Almighty grows
the fences.
The Colonel expects to make
domicilliary visit to the farm soon,
upon which occasion he. is to wear
the only silk hat ever raised in
captivity in Logan, Col. Weldy's
$40 gold headed cane (presented
to him for saving the "canawl")
and few trihing clothes. In
which due form he expects to be
invested with the superlative de-
gree of supervising granger.
But, all jesting aside, Col.
Green, who is the dean of the edi-
torial corps of the Hooking. Valley,
has earned rest from the vexa-
, tious and ill-rewafded s-Tabors of
the sanctum, May his kindly
smile, his genial wit, his generous
heart continue Ios shed soptisism
upon the little world in which he
has moved so long and which is
peopled by his warm friends

competition they wouldn't lay up this
weather." Thus remarked q citizen to ye
editor the other day, while the commu-
nifty impatiently listened and peered
through the mists of the storm for signs
of q boat. The remark serves to show
the readiness with which tho public will
pass unfavorable judgment upon mon
opolistic public service. To what ex-
tent, If at all, such conclusions are just1
fed we are not able to say. The bad
weather attending the opening of navi-
cation has been a serious handicap to
the north shore service, which condition,
regardless of cause, easily appeals to
those susceptible to the suspicion that
monopolies are not what they are crack
ed up to be. Enjoying little better
than weekly communication with the
ouside world, it is not easy to judge
without prejudice as to the causes.
To be fair, however, we must give the
Booth company a better opportunity
than it has had up to date to disprove a
disposition on it's part to abuse the ad-
vantages it enjoys in the north shore
traffic,
Let US wait and see.
