SEVEN SWISSHELM'S
All Democrats, Candidates for
Office at Recent Election,
Six Successful.

The Swisshelm family in Adams
and adjoining counties Jared pretty
well, thank you, at the recent election.
Seven members came i'm under the
wire away ahead of their opponents.
Zed Swisshelm was elected land APP
praiser of Hilsboro. viii Swisshelm
won out for clerk Of Jackson township,
Highland county. Joseph Swisshelm
was elected assessor of Bratton town
ship, this county. G. +. Swisshelm
was made mayor Of New Madison. II.
j. Swisshelm was elected land apprais-
er Of Franklin township, this county.
G. Swisshelm was elected clerk Of the
same township.
Four of the persons named are
brothers-Will, r, j., C. f. and b. C..
Swisshelm.- Peoples Defender, West
Union.
The above article is incorrect in one
particular, Zed Swisshelm being de-
feated for land appraiser of Hillsboro
by Hugh Erwin by votes. But six
out of seven is pretty fair record for
one family.

Too Big For Navy.

John Carey Brown, of Hillsboro, o.,
is too big man for the United States
navy. That is the ruling made on his
application Tuesday 10y the naval au-
thorities in Washington. Brown, who
stands feet 6 inches in his stocking
feet, saw one of the illustrated posters
of the navy in Hillsboro and came to
Cincinnati to enlist as an apprenticed
seaman. After he was measured and
weighed the recruiting officer in
charge thought so well of the appli-
cant that he wired the Washington
authorities to waive the dimensions
of the man, but Washington refused
to do so. Brown weighs 1852 pounds
and his chest measurement is 33 in
ches. On the application blank he Is
described as over height and under
weight. ''IIe couldn't tit in the ham
mocks the seamen have to sleep in"
one of the navies at the recruiting
station remarked. Cincinnati Times

AN UNFoRTUNATE CONDITION.

EDITOR NEWS HERALD like the
idea you have adopted of furnishing a
medium through which free discus
sion of matter and things may be had
that are of very vital Importance to
the public at large.
The public without the encourage
ment and time you have given would
not take the trouble TO bring to
general notice much injustice, imposi-
tion and rank malfeasance, misfeas-
ance and dishonesty that seem to
have pervaded the body polite ever
since the old days when men were
elected TO Office because of special fit
ness to ill the position with fidelity
and ability, have been substituted by
the new methods ofselecting any kind
of an individual, who will pay for his
office and agree to conduct it in accord
ance with the dictates of the boss
who will guarantee loose government
to those who wish to violate law and
decency, in order TO keep the following
that Is essential and the very life of
condition upon which he remains
royal dictator Of his, and many times
both, parties.
The writer can only agree with
"One Who Voted Dry' in his belief
that it would be better to have well
regulated, high licened saloons than
TO have the liquor traffic running In
full blast conducted by lot of con-
temptuous, insolent and lawless
negroes and poor white trash who are
apparently protected in return for
services rendered to the small class Of
leeches that have constituted them
selves the arch dictators of all politi-
cal movements and without whose
consent no movement will be allowed
to succeed.
These insolent blacks and whites
seem to be permitted to go on and
sell liquor and disturb the peace OF
the village in other ways with i'm.
punity and then when winter comes
they are victulized, coaled and clothed
at the expense of the law abiding tax
payer. Work2 Not he
1t does seem a shame that we car
not select board Of trustees that
have back bone enough to do theil
simply duty without thought of re
election to the petty little Office anc
be real men just for the sake of it.
This town should be a decent mans
town and we should all do duty al
such even though we may be filling
offices that came into our possession
by the votes of the low, criminal
insolent, worthless, thieving and i'm
moral negro that we have tried Il
I vain to help make into men. Gu
failures in that particular are mos
discouraging and other methods shoult
be substituted for those so long II
vogue.

than before local option laws were be-
ing enforced. They show exactly the
reverse. And they show such a de-
crease that the liquor associations,
state and national, are bending every
energy to stop the tremendous inroads
into their business.
Will any one dare say that the
moral atmosphere has not been won
derfully improved since the saloons
were voted out of business2 Hardly.
Who wants the saloon back ? Never
has Hillsboro had such prosperity.
Lots of new residences, business blocks
miles of cement walks and cutters,
tered streets, street sweeper, road
roller, two nickle theaters and accord
ing to the Gazette lower tax rate
than we have had for many years
and fourteen less humbug grog shops.
Yes, there is drinking and plenty of
other vices rampant. But go ask the
merchants If there is any difference
than there was five years ago.
They can tell you more about abe
changed conditions than any other
people, because they see more. They
can tell you that husbands are taking
home roasts and clothing for the fami-
ly who before took only beer and
whiskey. Ask the ladies who used to
be bumped into by drunken sots If
they notice any change. Ask any man
of unbiased sense and he'll tell you
there has been most pronounced
change for the better. That's the
argument that counts above all others
That's the argument that has to do
with the best there is on earth, real
manhood and womanhood.
AS long as the brewery can evade
the law under the very nose of our
people to turn community into
perfect bedlam Of nisorder, just so
long will our people have to endure 1t.
We need a small organization with
few men in 1t who have back bones
not like fishing worms but like steel
billets.
Grant that all our zone Who Voted
Dry" friend has claimed, it is only
another argument against the illegal
business. 1t only emphasizes its woe
full waste and want. its law-breaking
and defiant tendencies.
Next time we have a riot or drunken
mob it may not be broken heads but
"a murder! Then same poor mis-
guided boy, husband or father will be
hanged. 1t will not be the man who
sold the beer and whiskey. He es-
capes. 1t will be one of his deluded
victims who may leave a widowed
mother or helpless wife and child
rem. Then Hillsboro may suffer
genuine sorrow and hang its head in
real shame-for a week or two. This,
all this and much more, unless we, as
a community, awaken and become
more vigilant. RATIONAL.

WHAT is PkiNTf

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood is
simply structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not well withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and
linseed oil is an invulnerable armor
against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a
complete metallic casing.
And the outside of the house is the
looks of the house. A well-construct-
ed building may be greatly depre-
ciated by lack of painting or by poor
painting.
National Lead Company have made
1t possible for every building owner
to be absolutely sure of pure white
lead paint before applying. They do
this by putting upon every package
of their white lead their Dutch Boy
Painter trademark. That trademark
Is complete guarantee.

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools in
North Carolina says:
my mother since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for number of years, and COM
planned of that weak all over feeling
and sick stomach.
Some time ago l was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took, dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l no.
ticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of
the coffee, and asked him concerning
it. He replied that it was Postum.
81 was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, l bought a pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked it so well, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very anx.
lous concerning my mothers condition,
but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
81 know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
lily, but not in so marked a degree as
in the case of my mother, as she was
a victim of long standing"
