home of the groom's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. 7. Calvert, 661 West Liberty
street, Of their son, Howard Root Cal
vert, to Miss Ethel Acklin Of Oakland,
Calf. The ceremony was performed
by President Henry Churchill King of

relatives Of the groom and a few of
his former college friends and class
mates from Oberlin.
The couple were welded underneath
a bower of daisies and buttercups and
were escorted to position to thestrains
of the beautiful wedding march from
"Lohengrin," played by Miss Dorothy
Williams of 0berlin. Miss Mildred

was flower girl.
The groom is in charge Of the west
ern branch Of the A. |. Root Co. at
San Francisco. The bride is a gradu-
ate of the University Of Southern Cal
ifornia, at Los Angeles. It was thru
the death Of the brides mother a
month ago that made necessary, or at
least advisable, that the marriage be
consummated in Medina.
Immediately following the ceremony
the couple motored to Elyria, from
whence they started on their long trip
to Oakland.

new CIVIL SERVICE
LAW IS BOTCHED

So important are the defects which
have been found in the Barnes Moore
civil service law that lawyers after
close study declare it more than prob
able the efforts of the last general as
sembly to change the present state
civil service act have failed entxely.
The trouble is that the bill as signed
by Gov. Willis is not copy Of the bill
that was passed by the house and sem
ate.
The change in the language, over
which there was hard fighting in both
the house and the senate, and occurs
in the grouping of the exempted po-
sitions. In enumerating the exempt
ed positions the politicians had forced
the writer's Of the bill to include,
among the heads Of the departments,
heads Of bureaus"
The law, in order to stand, must be
in exact wording as passed by the law
makers, hence there is no law passed,
according to legal experts.
1t has been shown that the real copy
Of the pending bill was not even in the
possession Of the house when it was
passed, the action being taken on .
journal report Of several days prev
|ious. It's believed that the weakness
Of the law is already known to Gov,
Willis and some Of his advisors, which
would explain why he has delayed ac-
tion in the civil service commission
charges. If the old law stands there
will be gnashing Of teeth among the
faithful who are candidates for posi-
tions.

Referring to the picture, which is that
Of mother bidding goodbye to her
son about to go out into the world for
himself, the statement reads:
Fifty-two boys who left their homes
in one rural county, Medina during a
period of six months recently were
met during their first lonesome days
by friendly Y. M. G. A. in the cities to
which they had gone to live and work.
These boys were related to good
friends and helpful influences at the
most critical period in their lives.
"This service was organized by the
Ohio Young Mems Chr:sian Associa-

small communities who notify the CEN

leaving home and their destination.
This information is Immediately for

GENERALIZATION

The idea of Capitalization Of schools
dosen't appear to be meeting with gem
eral approval in Wadsworth, as we
gather from court record filed Sat-
urdsy in which David Dutt of Wads-
worth seeks for himself and others
a restraining order to prevent the
Board Of Education Of Wadsworth
township from borrowing money for
the purpose Of repairing a building to
accommodate the scholars from the
present ten sub-districts in one build
ing, which, according to Dutt, is with
out sanction of the law.
Plaintiff states that the question Of
centralizing the schools was submitted
to the qualified electors of the town.
ship on Nov. 4, 1918, and that there
were more votes cast against the prop
osition than for it. That between
March 2 and June Z, 1915, the board
has passed various motions in an at
tempt to suspend and centralize all
Of the schools of the sub-district above
mentioned without giving or publish
ing any notice as provided by law.
Further that the board is now making
provision to enter into contracts for
conveyance of all children to the one
proposed district and published a no
tice that on June 26 open bids would
be received for same. Plaintiff AYERS
there is not sufficient money in the
school fund with which to make the
proposed repairs and improvements,
which is estimated at $4,000, and that
the board is about to borrow $4,000 of
the above amount on their promissory
note to repay out of subsequent school
funds, which plaintiff declares is con-
trary to the law.
In his petition plaintiff says that the
board will carry out their proposed
plans at once unless restrained by the
court, which is their only legal re-
dress, and that such action of the
board will work hardship and damage
to and be contrary to the expressed
desires Of majority Of the taxpayers
and electors of Wadsworth township,

ROBBERS ENTER
LIVERPOOL HOUSE

Two masked robbers forced an en-
trance to the home of William Wise
in Liverpool township last Friday
night about 9 o'clock and secured
about $6 in money, the greater por-
tion of which was the savings of one
of Mr.. Wise's children kept in small
bank. A check on the Phoenix bank,
Medina, was also taken, but payment
was stopped on it early Saturday
morning. Mr.. Wise was absent at the
time, Mrs. Wise and the children be-
ing the only ones at home. Mrs. Wise
describes the intruders as young men
of medium build, with light hair, and
who wore light rain coats. They
came to the house on a motorcycle.
Sheriff Gehman was promptly mott
fed, but has been unable to get any
satisfactory clue.
Friday forenoon two young men,
whose description tallies with that Civ
en- by Mrs. Wise, made trip from
Cleveland on motorcycle to Medina
to apply for a position as printer at
the Sentinel Office, which position they
had seen advertised in Cleveland pa
per. However, they started on the re-
turn trip to the city at once, which, if
they fingered no where on the way,
would have landed them at home
many hours before the Wise house was
robbed.

HONESTY IN POLITICS
A Vote For the iSprague Bill Is
a Vote For Business Pros
perity and Clean Politics.

Voting for the Sprague bill, by put
ting your cross in the top space on
the separate referendum ballot. is
more than vote to discourage ripper
legislation; it is more than a vote to
repudiate bossism in Ohio politics; it
is vote for RENEWED BUSINESS
ACTIVITIES, FOR A GOOD LABOR
MARKET, AND FOR PROFITABLE
PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTS.
Under the present gerrymandered
congressional districts, Ohio could
send fifteen or sixteen Democrats to
Washington to represent the state in
congress. Ohio is normally Republi.
can. Ohio believes In protection.
OHIO knows that Republican protec-
tive tariff policies mean good busi-
ness, liberal pay to the workman and
profitable prices for farm products.
Ohio wants representatives In con-
gress who will represent Ohio-who
will stand for Republican principles
and not for Democratic free trade
policies. To be sure that Ohio will
have the proper representation in the
rational congress every voter should
vote to sustain the Sprague district
ing bill.
That law was enacted by the last
legislature In response tO~a demand
from the people for honest districts
and honest representation In con
gress.
That law was passed to remedy .
ripper that did not give the people
OF Ohio q chance to register t1eiI
opinions in national issues. The

to be more attractive to Republicans
generally than any recommendation
that might be made by a Democratic
politician. The sole issue in the ref
erendur that is before the voters Of
Ohio is whether or not they will ap-
prove the Democratic law or the Re-
publican law. Democratic leaders
want us to believe that they always
treat Republicans fairly, even though
they have the power to do otherwise.
Can they point to any time when they
did, or to any place where they do?
81 want, If l can, TO impress word
of warning upon Republicans. If we
fail this year to defeat the Democratic
referendum on the redistricting law.
the time will never come in our state
that we can hope to do otherwise than
simply submit to Q Democratic divi'
! sion of the state on congressional rep
resentation. If the new act stands
the present attack, we can be assured
that it will not be changed in dec
ade unless it is changed by Repubii
cans. This fight is extremely import

In an interview in the Cincinnati

every voter in the state will have

passed by the last general assembly.
No Republican should be led astray.
In the preparation of this bill an ef'
fort was made to divide up the state
into twenty-five districts on a fair

knew that the law could be put aside
by the people at the polls If 1t were
not satisfactory, and they would ne
cesssarily want their work such as

minded electorate. The districts, as
they stood at the last election, were
made up by a partisan Democratic
