Knights Of Pythias Go To As

Pythian Castle

II was estimated that 300 residents
of this county took the special x. OF
p. train to Newark Wednesday morn
ing for the purpose of assisting in
the dedication of the new Pythian
castle in that city. The train left
the B. & o. station at 10 o'clock.
At $3.50 the local line of march was

1t was truly beautiful sight as
the procession swept around the
square and was viewed by a mum
ber of on-lookers who were delight
ed with the appearance of the Pyth

Newark by automobile, so that the
representation, in total, of Knox
county bids fair to take rank with
that of any adjoining county.

FOOTBALL
Schedule Of The High SChOGl
Completely Filled

The football schedule of the local
high school is completely filled, ey.
cept for the Thanksgiving game. Il
game for that date can be easily OBJ
tanned and it was thought best By
the management to see what sort OF
teams some of the other high schools
had before scheduling, as good
team is the wish of all for that date.
Six games are to be played at
home this year. The list OF home
games includes the Alumni, Ashland,
Mansfield, Doane Academy, Colum-
bus East, and the Thanksgiving
game. The games to be played away
include Newark, Cambridge, Fostor-
la, Mt Gilead and probably Utica
for the second team. Other games
will be scheduled for the second
team probably.
Season tickets for the six home
games can be had of high school
students, either of the book stores.
LAWYERS, and Lorey's drug stores.
The price is 81.
Saturdays game with the alumni
will begin promptly at 2:45 p. m.
The alumni have host of mater
ial to pick from and everything
points to a hard game when the pres
ent students and the grads get to-
gether.

lis in shifting the membership Of the
state board of administration are being
interpreted as an indication Of his in.
tention OF change management of the
state institutions. We do not believe
1t is the governors purpose to do this.
nor do we believe he intends to sub.
ordinate the state institutions to party
politics"
But that he really does SO believe
is indicated whe the editorial contin.
ues:
ANY changes in institution manage.
ment are likely to be regarded as who'll
ly political in their nature and the turn
ing over of the care of the thousands
of wards of the state to politicians is
not wanted by Ohio people 1t will be
resnted by them. BY sort of tacit
consent state homes and charitable
and correctional institutions have
been free from the evil of being pawns
in the political game. They have been
infinitely better off because of this.
The heads of these institutions have,
in general, reciprocated. Few of them
have political strength or ambitions
and rarely has a superintendency or
wardship been used as a cog in the
machine of any party or officeholder.
The two institutions with which north
eastern Ohio is most familiar bear out
this claim. DR.. H. G. Eyman, super.
intendent of the Massilon asylum, is
credited with being Democrat. More
than this, however, he is an alienist of
unquestioned merit who has governed
his charge without the slightest re.
gard to politics. Superintendent James
A. Leonard of the Mansfield Reforma-
tory is Republican but under three
Democratic governors any suggestion
that he be replaced by mere job
seeker was never offered and even if
made would not have been entertained
by Governors Pattison, Harmon or
Cox.
1.-THE care of the insane, of infirm,
of those who have violated the laws,
of orphans and aged soldiers is a du-
ty in which there should be no sug-
gestion of politics We believe Gov
ernor Willis will show that instead of
harboring the intention credited to
him he is willing to follow the COM
mendable example Of long H.
Republican and Democratic predeces-
sors."
This editorial is based on>the recent
appointment of one Philbrick, So
called Glue Democrat, as member of
the state board of administration. Fur
ther than the mere statement that the
appointment is an insult to the people
of Ohio, the governors action in the
matter is unworthy of comment.
Democrats who are losing out under
the Willis administration might get
jobs by applying to the Reid-Secrest
Detective Agency.

Gen. Sherwood Compliments
Democratic Organization
For Referendum On COnqreS'
SiOnal Gerfymander

Columbus, O., Sept. 22-Denial by
David Tod that he would be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
governor of Ohio was extremely wise
and to have been expected. 1t is becom-
ing more and more apparent that no
one wants the Republican nomination.
Willis may efface himself, but he can
not escape his record in office, nor can
he eliminate that record for a possi-
BILE successor. OF course, the charge
of no one else who wants to if he does
not. Oh, yes! we had almost forgotten
Ralph Cole, but then he would take
anything.
In letter by General Isaac r. Sher-
wood, member of congress, to Chair
man w. l. Finley, of the Democratic
compliment is paid to the state and
county organizations for the work of
perfecting the referendum of the
Sprague gerrymander. ut is remark
able that you have accomplished so
much at so little expense" writes the
General to Mr. Finley. AS matter Of
fact the expense of securing petitions
was negligible, the only money neces-
sary being for printing, correspond
ence and postage. On the call of the
state organization, the county organ
iZation responded to a man, notwith-
standing the fact there were no person
al rewards to workers, or pay for Cir
culators of petitions The results gain
ed speak volumes for the solidarity of
the Democratic organization in Ohio
and the working association with the
leaders, prominent men and the rank
and file. OF course there was some op-
position to meet and overcome, but the
success showed in ample measure the
feebleness of those who last year sold
themselves to the Willis administra-
tion. The Sprague act will go to the
people for rejection simply because
the 'old guard" that leected Pattison
and Harmon and Cox is loyal to the
principles of the party.
o.
S. G. Mcclure, editor of the Youngs-
town Telegram, and Republican state
central committeeman, who loyalty
supported Willis for election and
through the early stages of his admin
istration. has invidious comparison of
Willis with PGttison and Harmon and
keeping it from his words. A strict
partisan of no mean ability, this from
his is indicative

Other Notes From The County

Two young boys giving their home
as Newark, O., were picked up by the
police Tuesday evening and placed
in the juvenile detention ward in
the county jail. The boys came in.
to the city on bicycles and stated
that they had come through from
Newark. The police were of the
opinion that the boys ran away from
home. Consequently, they were de-
tanned at the county Jail.
Juvenile Officer Purcell took charge
of the boys on Wednesday and en-
deavored to locate their parents in
Newark.

in wonderful shade of peacock blue,
very beautiful in combination with sill
yer; the pantalets are of purple satin,
also silver trimmed, and the bodice
Is of silver lace over flesh-tinted satin.
A piping of purple velvet edges the
bodice at the top and the slippers are
purple and silver brocade.
In the afternoon frocl of bronze
toned velvet, pantalets are introduced
as coquettish detail. They do not
obtrude themselves at all for they are
Of bronze-toned taffeta with bands of
bronze velvet and blend in with the
color scheme of the costume. They
are, moreover, not gathered around
the ankles but taper to the shape OF
the leg. fitting closely over the bronze
silk stocking. The gay, swinging tas
sells which decorate the pantalets are
their chief claim to coquetry. The
frock is a particularly charming one
for formal afternoon occasions, and
even if one chooses to omit the panta
let's, the style of the costume is worth
considering carefully. The skirt OF
velvet is circular in cut and flares
widely at the foot. though the weight
OF the velvet holds this flare in soft
heavy folds. Because of the uneven
length of this skirt it is faced with
light tan silk, to match the tan chiffon
in the bodice; if desired. the skirt
could be cut in ordinary length and
this facing and the pantalets omitted.
The bodice Of bronze velvet is slightly
draped at the waistine above a shaped
girdle which gives the effect of q
pointed basque. The manner of slash
ing the bodice in deep points over a
yoke Of chiffon is clearly indicated in
the picture The sleeves of chiffon
have draped velvet cuffs to the elbow.
over the tall collar of chiffon is a skel
eton stra p collar of velvet-an inter
esting detail which adds to the smart
ness OF the bodice. Bronze beaded
slippers accompany this costume.

little fringed pantalets which peep so
coyly from under the fluffy skirt of
this delightful Victorian gown.
If the aforesaid prude has anything
to object to, perhaps she would bet
ter confine her attention to bodices of
opera and dinner gowns of the period
and leave inoffensive little pantalets
alone. Certainly the decolletage of
the pantaleted gown in another illus
tration leaves little to the magma
ton. The skirt and short train are
of white taffeta brocade and the train
is bordered with sealskin. Under the
draped and slashed skirt is visible the
pantalet-of white silk with an edge
of silver lace and narrow trimming OF
sealskin. A bow Of silver ribbon gives
special coquetry to the pantalet. The
bodice--so- called--is made of a strip
of silver lace, draped over at one side
with the white brocaded taffeta, and
little seal colored chiffon and some
cleverly arranged sealskin effect q
trim girdle. The rest of the bodice is
pearl beads.
Pantalets have strange relation

gown-a superbly colored dinner
gown of peacock blue and silver bro
cade. The draped overskirt and twin

waiting: really prettier than the trans
parent lace f1ounce which hung be-
low short dancing frocks last season
a daring idea but not always a grace
full or charming feature of the cos
tune.
The pantalet frock which will
doubtless attract most attention,
among today's photographs, is tho
really delectable dance frock of lace
and crystal paillettcs and beads, a
model reproducing the frillcd and
hoop skirted creation of carly Vic
torian days. The pantalets, worn I'M
der the short, lace-frilled skirt, are
of silver tissue. shirred around the
ankle and finished with Il fringe OF
crystal beads. The skirt Is very wide
of gathered net as far as the first
lace ruifle. Below this Is very thin
white silk, run with a hoop at the
hem. The lace rufiies are pailletted
with crystal and are set on the skirt
with crystal bead fringe. Under the
net overskirt is the skirt of thin silk.
to which are attached the two lower
ruffles. Crystal bead fringe trims this
silk underskirt over the hips, showing
through the net drop. The bodice is
made of strings of crystal beads and
the bead sleeves are especially beau
tiful. White silk roses trim the over
skirt and are tucked into the girdle
1t would be prude indeed who could
raise any possible objection to the gay
