The mayor OF Findlay has decreed
against the dandelion, which, it is
claimed, is running the lawns of that
city. Saturday was set aside as a
day for digging the pesky little
plants out. We have noticed of late
that some of the handsome lawns of
Perrysburg are infested with this
plant and the little dandelion is not
the only weed that needs cleaning
out of our lawns and borders Of our
streets. The bank of the river front
is disgrace to the village because of
the weeds that are permitted to grow.
Streets and alleys are used as dump
grounds by many people who appar-
emily have no regard for the appear
ance of the village. Is there no
remedy?

1t will be satisfaction to anyone
to have it from the lips of Secretary
Wilson himself that the Meat inspec-
tion business is ON sound basis and
that the public is getting all it had
any reason to hope from the govern
ment supervision of the packing
houses. The Secretary of Agricul-
ture has just been on tour of the
west and rounded up all the chief
meat inspectors for talk in Chicago.
He reports that the inspection work
is going forward satisfactorily, that
there have been a number of modern
and sanitary packing houses built
since the law went into effect less
than year ago. More than that
there is about $2,5O0,000 being in
vested in other new houses, cement
built and credit to the business. To
be sure the improvement is no fault
of the packers. They never would
have come to it but for the prodding of
the Administration through the press.
The public has had to pay for the
improvements in the enhaced cost of
meat but at least we are now getting
what we pay for and American meat
products are ranked as first class all
over the world. That probably is
worth the price.

A monument has just been erected
at Raleigh, N. G. to Ensign Worth
Bagley, the only American naval Of
ficer who was killed during the war
with Spain. Bagley fell doing his
duty on the Winslow at Cardenas
and the monument is only a fitting
tribute to gallant and loyal young
officer. But at the same time there
are some of the men in that war who
were not killed and whose services
though just as conspicuous have
never been recognized. For instance
there was a marine, just a common
enlisted man, and probably everyone
has forgotten even his name by this
time, who stood on a ridge at the
battle of Cusco Mountain as wig
wagged to the American fleet to stop
firing when they were tossing sheels
inland into the ranks of the Ameri-
cans under the impression that they
were shelling the Spaniards. He had
to get up from under cover and was
target for 300 Spanish rifles all the
while he was signalling Why they
did not kill him nobody could ever
understand. But they did not
and he returned to the ranks
with the satisfaction of duty we'll per
formed and nothing else. 1t does
seem as though even at this late day
he might be looked up and some
thing done for him. Honor to the
dead is fitting and proper, but it
would be lot of satisfaction to the
living sometimes to get little of
what is due them.

Why Not Draw INTEREST,"

EDITOR JOURNAL: The proceed
ings of the Village Council and
School Board published in your paper
recently, disclose information of. i'm
portance to the tax paying commun-
lty. The School Board ADVERTISED for
bids for a depository for their money
and received bid of over four per
cent. The Village Council after
wrangling for some weeks over an or
dinance to invite bids for the corpora
tion money, defeated the measure by
a vote of three for and three against.
The Township is all ready receiving
monthly settlements for interest on
their money, at the rate of $3.50 per
cent.
The tendency everywhere Is to put
public money on an interest basis.
The question naturally arises, IL the
school and township funds can draw
interest, why can not the money of
the corporation, a similar fund do
likewisep Was the Council elected to
serve the interests of the burdened
community, or the interests of private
corporations? JOHN I. CARLIN.
