CURES REMOVE DOUBT
ABOUT ECZEMA CURE.
Read What Your Druggist Says
About Oil of Wintergreen
Compound.

Druggist Bort submits the fol.
lowing to the readers of The DEMO
CRAT- SENTINEL
For several years we have an
nounced, with our recommendation,
that we had found positive cure
for eczema; a simple skin wash,
oil of wintergreen compounded
with other healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have &c,
zema, and still have never tried
this remedy.
We have, therefore, arranged
with the D. D. D. Laboratories of
Chicago for special offer of a
trial bottle at 25 cents of the ST. 1.OO
as regularly sold.
We offer this trial bottle with
our recommendation and assurance
that just as soon as the patient
washes his itching skin, this mild
liquid will take the itch away
instantly. Bort & Co., Logan, o.

The creation of two new state
offices is advocated by members of
the legislature.
Chairman Henry j. Ritter of the
house finance committee said with
reference to Governor Harmon g
proposal for central board of
four members TO take the place of
the various boards of trustees of
state institutions 81 would be
willing to 60 further than the
governor and to support law
placing all the state institutions
under charge of a single director,
to be appointed by the governor
and to be paid good salary"
Senator Frank M. Clevenger of
Wilmington said he favored the
creation of the position of perma-
nent codifying officer to succeed
the present temporary state codi-
flying commission, which has fin
ished it's work. An officer at $4,000
a year, he thought, would make
lt unnecessary TO appoiht every
few years a commission to codify
the statutes, at cost of 800, 900
to $l50,000.
He also thought it would be
necessary for the legislature, on
convening next January, TO take
up first the code to be reported by
the commission and dispose of it,
as otherwise the legislature would
work away emending laws which
will have been repeated by the
code report.
Chairman Ritter yesterday made
arrangements for the trip of the
house finance committee to inspect
state institutions. The committee
will be divided into sections ard
will start out Dec. |

The Law or Personal Opinion; ;
Which?

Columbus, Ohio, November 10.
Asserting that the opinion Of
Judge Festus Walters to the effect
that "near. beer" could not be sold
In dry territory was obiter dicta,
or personal expression, the Circuit
Court at Portsmouth has in effect
reversed him. After this opinion
was published great excitement
ensued, for, If the holding was de-
clared to be sound, all malt bever-
ages without regard to the per-
centage of alcohol they contained
would be placed in the prohibited
list. The attorneys for the threet
ened interests, Henry Bannon and
Oscar Newman, together with
Prosecuting Attorney Moulton, ar
ranged a meeting with Judges
Cherrington, Jones and Walters
before they left for Adams Coun-
ty, at hotel in Portsmouth. AT
this session the Court took up the
opinion of Judge Walters as writ.
ten by the official stenogrspher.
While not assuming the RESPONSE
bility of altering the opinion of
their colleague, Judge Jones and
Cherrington made it clear that the
decision was based upon the fact
that the convicted defendant sold
full strength beer. The smear
beer" point, it is explained, was
not passed upon, and Judge Wal
ter's remarks were therefore, as
matter of fact, extrajudicial. The
attorneys, who had come prepared
to offer arguments, were informed
that they were not necessary. The
question, therefore, Of the legality
of the "soft" beer remains open.
The explanation of the decision
of the Supreme Court in the caee
where State Auditor Guilbert and
County Auditor Kaufman, of
Dayton, instituted friendly suit
to ascertain whether dealers in
"near beer" should pay the Aiken
liquor tax, is that it does not ap-
ply. uC Alhcu WA 10 icNlcu as q
revenue producer and is laid upon
all beverages. The Rose law pro-
hibits the sale of Intoxicating
liquors, which is quite a different
proposition, and this salient fact
ls made more prominent at the
elections when the question is SUBJ
mitted to the voters.
The case, therefore, while prop
erly reported by the press, does
not form the important precedent
expected when the decision was
made known. The personal opin-
ion of Judge Walters cannot stand
as law in the light Of what took
place at the conference in Ports
mouth, and the jubilation of the
temperance element will have to
be restrained. Some caee will
haye to be submitted in which the
sale of a malt beverage with an
admittedly nominal percentage of
alcohol is questioned as being
against the Rose law, which, it
has been repeatedly held, is con-
stitutional.

NelsOnylIIe Police Troubles.

Athens, Ohio, Noy. 1.-THE in
junction case filed on October 10th
by Isaac Warner, of chief of po.
lice of the city of Ne!sonville,
against Charles Ellington, seeking
restraining order to enjoln the
defendant from exercising the
duties of chief of police, was sub.
mitted to Judge j. M. Wood
yesterday afternoon, and the same
was dismissed.
The plaintiff alleged in his petit
tion that he had held the office of
chief of police of Jacksonville since
1908; that he received notice of
suspension from Mayor T. E. Wells
October 9Th. that on October 7th.
he received notice from the di-
rector of public safety command
ing him to appear before him on
October 9th. to answer the charge
of malfeasance in office preferred
against him by the mayor, and
on October 9th. said director of
public safety pretended to hear
said charges, found the same true,
and Immediately thereafter the
mayor appointed the defendant to
succeed Warner. Warner ignored
both his notice of suspicion and
Il Q notice of hearing, and con-
tinued to act as chief of police,
However, the mayor and other
city officials did not recognize him
as such, and refused to honor his
salary vouchers. Ellington i'm
mediately upon his appointment
also began to perform the duties of
chief of police and was recognized 4
as such by the city officials.
In passing upon the case Judge
Wood held that he was compelled
to find that the defendant was, in
fact, the chief of police, and if
the plaintiff has any remedy it
would have to be by an action In
quo warranto, which action the
plaintiff will institute at once.
The plaintiff is represented by
Lewis d Sayre, who contend that
the mayor has no power to sus,
pend Warner and the director of
public safety had no power to hear
the charges preferred by the may
or.
The defendant was represented
by James M. Myers, of Columbus,
and Judge o. w. II. Wright, of
Logan, who contend that under
the Paine law full authority is
given the mayor and director of
public safety to take the action
which was taken.

The petition among other counts,
charges that the Sunday Creek Co.,
by permitting its stock to be held
unlawfully by the Hooking Valley
Co, has addicted all the rights
conferred upon it by the state of
Ohio. In the second place the
petition recites that by holding
