All present seemed to realize that
in the coming constitutional conven.
ton great opportunity is afforded
the people of Ohio to advance their
commerce, industry and social condi'
tions, by providing for system of
improved roads throughout the state.
The Federation takes the ground
that the investment of fifty millions
in good roads throughout the state
will bring larger and quicker returns
in increase of business, greater devel.
opment of natural resources, increased
value Of farm lands, better health and
improved moral conditions for the peo.
pie of the state, than any other sim
liar investment that can be made by
the state or national government. The
Federation will endeavor to keep clear
of entanglements with other questions
before the constitutional convention,
believing that the people are unit in
their request for change in methods
relative to the treatment of the road
problem of the state.
The educational feature Of the work
of the Federation will receive consid-
erable attention this coming winter.
They will endeavor to have repre-
sentative at all county meetings call
ed by the state highway department,
in which the method and type OF con-
struction of the various county roads
will be discussed. Effort will be made
to improve all roads Of different type
throughout the state, and to stop the
waste resultant from antiquated meth
ods Of construction, and willful neg
lect Of the maintenance of roads
throughout the state. The legislative
problems will not be brought into the
campaign this year for the reason that
there will not be a session Of the gen.
eral assembly until 1918, and the dis
cussion of legislative enactments
would only complicate the greater
problem Of the constitutional amend
ment.
The propaganda certainly is one
that interests every citizen of the
state, whether country man or city
man, for, in addition to stimulating
all industries in the state it will be
a powerful incentive IL realized to
keep the rising generation on the farm
instead Of following the lure Of the
city, thus helping to solve the most
menacing Of all sociological conditions.
The plan is both practicable and feas'
ible and should receive tho earnest
support Of the people Of the state

Attorney J. Cottor Dugan, of Kenton,
only son of Probate Judge and Mrs. p.
f. Dugan, of this city, had the plea
sure this week of being rendered the
position of cheif clerk to Attorney
General Timothy S. Hogan.
The young man who is making good
in the Hardin county capital, however,
declined the offer after much thought
and after a conference aud on advice OF
circuit Judge Crow and many other
prominent associates on the Hardin
county bar.
Mr.. Dugan is graduate of the Ce-
lima High school, and an ambitious
young man, and the fact that the States
chief attorney saw fit to tender him the
position, speaks well for his standing
among the profession. While The
Democrat would be pleased to hear OF
such an appointment of the young Ce-
lima man, we also believe, under the
circumstances that he acted wisely in
refusing.

Mrs. Lena Beutelspacher, aged 90
years, OF Canton, wife OF Gustave
Beutelspacher, IL. >. ox-COnsul to
New Brunswick, Canada, and par
ticular friend Of tho late President
Mckinley, died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. II. j. smith, East Liv-
ingston street, at 6;l5 last wednesday
morning.
Frustrated with grief over the sud-
den death of her youngest daughter,
Miss Laura, which occurred several
months ago, she rapidly failed in
health. Thinking possibly change
OF surroundings might better her con-
dition, her daughter, Mrs. Smith, per-
suaded her to come 10 this city for a
visit. The change was of no avail and
she grew steadily worse, living but
two weeks after reaching the home of
her daughter here.
Deceased was born and raised in
Cincinnati, and was united in marriage
to Mr.. Beutelspaeher in Cincinnati in
1876, and he, with one daughter, Mrs.
Smith survive. Following their mar
riage they resided for some time in
Cincinnati, later at Newport, KY, and
finally locating at Canton, this state.
The remains, accompanied by Mr..
Beutelspacherl and Jeweler and Mrs.

Champ Clark Urges Reforms.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. - Radical
changes in the constitution of the
United States are proposed, by Champ
Clark of Missouri, whose electtul -
speaker of the Sixty.second congress-
now is generally conceded. Congress-
man Clark declares that he is In favor
OF amending the constitution to elect
the president of the United States for
one term OF six years and make him
forever Ineligible for reelection. In
the same statement he advocates the
election OF congressman for term Of
three years, thus retaining the present
ratio of two congressional terms to
one presidential term.
He wants the national election to be
held the last Monday in August and
the inauguration of the president and
vice president and the opening of the
new congress the first Monday In Oc-
tober. II am in favor of the suggest
ed change regarding the presidential
term," said Mr.. Clark, 'because
every time that there is president ex.
traordinarily popular lot of fools
boom him for third term"

ten, retired millionaire, whose sue.
cessful operations in the cotton mar
ket led recently to federal grand jury
indictments, was sued for 5000, 900 in

bling transaction may sue and recov-
er to the amount of three times the
