OLDEST LIVING THING
Is IN UNITED STATES

Towering a giant among giants,
the oldest living thing that con-
meets the present with the dim past,
majestic in its mien, its dignity and
it's world-old experience, the Gen
eral Sherman Tree" is the patriarch
of the Sequoia National Park of Cal
ifornia. 1t was already 1900 years
old when Christ was born. In the
age when the known world was
rocking in the throes of the Trojan
wars and the time that history tells
US marked the exodus of the He
brews from Egypt, this greatest of
sequoia gigantea was a fiourishing
sapling of some 20 or 80 feet in
height and truly under the especial
care of the Creator, %ho held it
safe from the lightnings OF His
wrath as He did from the attacks OF
earthly enemies.
The General Sherman was dis
covered in 1879 by James Wolver-
ton, a hunter, and named by him in
honor of General William T. Sher-
man. 1t towers 279.9 feet into the
sky; its base circumference is 1928
feet: its greatest diameter 36.5 feet,
and it has developed a diameter OF
III feet at a point 100 feet above
the ground.-[National Geographic

SHARKS JAWS SHOW IT'S
DANGEROUS CHARACTER

The jacksonville Hustler says.
Judge J. F. Dempsey and City
Engineer Flanagan, mixed up in a
heated argument the other day when
Flanny discredited the press reports
sent out about a shark clipping off
a ather's leg on the New Jersey
coast, was settled Wednesday after
noon when Judge Dempsey brought
to town the jaws of shark, which
he caught on one of his fishing
trips to Florida a few years ago,
and cited Flannny to the many
molars the big fish possesses.
There are five rows upper and four
rows of lower teeth. these being
very much like the teeth on saws
and equally as sharp. These rows,
Judge Dempsey explained, when not
in use by the fish, fold back, seven
of the rows being down. The shark
caught by Judge Dempsey meas
ured almost eleven feet, the back
bone of which he also has, whlcn
is about five feet long. Both are
on display at the electric light Of
flee
Judge Dempsey, when asked his
opinion as to the attacks sharks are
making on human beings stated that
during the past three years thous-
ands of lives have been lost on the
seas, beginning with the sinking of
the Titanic, and followed by the
many ships sunk by the Germans.
He states that the sharks have be-
come accustomed to feasting on hui
mans, have discovered that they
can attack them without injury and
that in his opinion it would never
again be safe to battle at any of the
seashore resorts.

More and Better Money,

Not only do We lucky Americans
have more money than ever before,
but it is better money. Gold is the
standard of all values, hence gold is
the perfect and standard money.
Well, it happened during the last
year that each day saw nearly ST.
100000 of new gold money added
to the nations circulation. We
didn't get the yellow metal in our
pockets. as Americans prefer a pa
per substitute in the form Of yellow
back bills.
1t is nice to know that over half
of all the money that circulates in
this country is gold money! shade

BUILDING A SHIP EVERY
DAY AT THE NAVY YARDS

The United States navy yards are
building a new ship every day, says
the Philadelphia Enquirer. 1t is a
record never before equaled in our
country, and is the sequel of our
commerce exports at a time when
world commerce is upset by world
war. There are now building or un-
der contract 39S steel vessels, the
aggregate of whose tonnage exceeds
1,129,00O. Ships bearing the Stars
and Stripes have more than doubled
since the war began, and the in
crease is still going on at high tide.
Prior to August. 1914, less than a
tenth of Americas foreign commerce
was carried in American ships; but
at the present rate of building new
ones the period following the end OF
the war will see a totally different
story. The business of transporting
over FIVE billions of exports and i'm
ports is a trade worth going after
and keeping after it till We get it.

Republican Party Never
Favored Ii,
BUT OOOGEO ITS ENACTMENT
On Various Occasions - Some
Inside Facts OF Our Pres
ent Tariff Law.
HOW ABOUT OUR EXPORTS?
(By Savoyard.)

washington, July 2S.-The Re-
publicans had to say something
about the tariff, for the party is as
devoted to Aldrichism in 1916 as il
was in 1909. Here is passage
from their platform:
The Underwood tariff act is a
complete failure in every respect
Under its administration imports
have enormously increased, in spite
of the fact that intercourse with
foreign countries has been largely
cut off by reason of the war, while
the revenues of which we stand in
such dire need have been greatly
reduced
But how about exports? That is
a matter that no Republican is 60
ing to discuss this year, for We are
selling abroad daily American goods
and merchandise, products of Amer
lean labor, to the value Df about
$4,000, 100000, and the Sundays,
ton. Our imports do not amount
in value to half our exports, and the
difference between them is paid our
people In gold. No other two. ma
lions under the sun ever accumulat-
ed such enormous supplies of gold
as the American people now have at
their command, the property of
American citizens. Why. there Is
not room for it in New York. Ev-
cry vault is gorged with it, and the
Government was asked the other
day to find room for measly $780,
100000 gold in the Philadelphia
mint, where it is sent on deposit.
That is one of the charges made
against the Democratic tariff-it has
brought a stream of gold to our
shores that beggars the greed of
avarice.
Now about that revenue business
1t is true that the duties collected
at the custom house under the I'm
derwood tariff do not pay expenses
of the Government, and the same
can be said of every tariff the Re-
publican party ever enacted. In
ternal revenue has been resorted to
ever since 1862 to supply the def
ciencies of the tariff.
There is an irrepressible conflict
between the Democratic principle
and the Republican dogma touch
ing internal taxation. A tariff is a
tax on consumption and 80 per cent.
of it is paid by labor, for our labor
ing men greatly exceed in number
all our capitalists. An income tax
is a tax on wealth and 100 per
cent. of it is paid by capital. Dur
ing the big war of 1876 the Re-
publicans laid tax on income-a
war taX--but as soon as peace came
they repealed that tax, though We
have paid billions in pensions; also
a war tax, since 1865. Labor paid at
least 80 per cent. OF the pensions.
Had capital been taxed to pay the
pensions, the pension appropriation
would never have exceeded $4,000
900. The G.. o. p. would have seen
10 that
For thirty years the Democratic
party strove to secure the enact
ment of an income tax and the first
time after the war they secured a
majority in both Houses of Congress

Horace Greeley's Nomination.

Horace Greeley was nominated for
the Presidency in 1872 by the Lib
eral Republican party, at Cincinnati
He was also nominated oy the Dem
ocrats at their national convention
Many Republicans who had sympa-
thized with him were repealed by
this action of the opposing party,
and Greeley considered 1t a mistake
for the Democrats to give him theiI
formal nomination. His old party
associates regarded him as a rene
gade, and the Democrats gave hin
half-hearted support. Grant receiv

BOOST THE NEW SCHOOL.
Continued from First Page.

over, in school work, improving
changes come so rapidly that under
those conditions the Perrsburg Public
Schools were no longer classed as up
to-date and first class.
Such was the condition when Super.
intendent Cole took hold of affairs
Modern books and texts were intro
duced, new work taken up, and when
the State Inspector visited the school
in 1914 he said although the standard
of our school was now first class, it
could not remain as such unless more
room and better equipment were pro-
cured soon.
Immediately after some of the
much needed changes were instituted
opposition arose. Mr.. Cole was and
has been seriously hampered by this
narrow opposition. And now, because
he gave small portion of his time to
athletics and placed Perrysburg on the
athletic map of the state, he is severely
condemned. Perhaps the people did
not realize our own High School held
the championship of our part of Ohio
I'm football and that through this the
town gained a great deal of prestige.
Towns came to deal with Perrysburg
in all athletic relations and their
opinion of this city was enlarged.
If the Taxpayers Committee really
could say that Mr.. Cole had neglected
his school work for athletics, forac-
cording to the committee athletics are
not part of school work, it would
have been just cause of complaint,
but we, the pupils of the High School,
know without doubt that he spent
much time outside of school hours in
performing faithfully and conscien-
tiously his work ard in fulfilling his
duty, because he gave an hour and a
half in the afternoon to athletics. If
he chose to make his own work harder
for the sake of the school in an ath-
letic way, and yet kept steadily at his
work, as we know he has done, it con-
Germs him and him only. All the other
High Schools of this size have 9
teacher who acts as athletic director
without receiving any more pay. Is
not Perrysburg on an equality with
any other town?
We may be enthusiastic in our praise

THAT SCHOOL BUILDING.
Continued from First Page.

our present building? Also, how
would fire in one of the cottages
aid? This system is impractical,
and we can prove it. In regard to
Mr.. Cole, we consider his work
very satisfactory. He is only sup
posed to teach half of his time and
supervise the other half, and
athletics are apart from all school
work. Under such plan we re-
ceives 100000 per annum from the
state.
If Mr.. Wilson will remember, Abe
Lincoln, not P. T. Barnum, made the
statement in regard to ."Fooling the
People," In answer to this statement
the answer should be, "You can satisfy
all the people part of the time, part of
the people all the time, but some peo-
Pile you couldn't satisfy if they had
the earth with a gold string around
it," You ask why we are taking in
outside districts when we are crowd
ed. We are doing it for the same
reason you are in business, to make
money, and we will make about $500
year over expenses with the present
outside enrolment. Anyone can see
that by getting more territory we get
more money, which enables us to have
better school conditions. In other
words, we will make money by doing
it, and the pupils will receive better
education for no increase in cost.
We have a good building at present,
excepting the heating plant. Would it
not be better to build an addition that
will conform to our present building
and have something that Perrysburg
will be proud of, instead of several cot
tages stuck around on the grounds
If this is such good plan why don't
our big cities adopt the cottage plan?
Simply because it is not practical.
You know that the board cannot have
their own wishes carried out, but must
do as the state says. Mr.. Wilson says
a building to supply our needs can be
built for $4,000. If such is the case
the board will be very glad to give
him the contract, providing the State
Board accepts his specifications. Mr..
Wilson asks where we have spent our
time and energy. We will say, not
dreaming of such bargain. AS was
mentioned above, every voter will be
supplied at the proper time with salts
factory information in regard to the
proposed addition, and there will also
be several public meetings for you to
talk Would like to ask why did Mr..
Wilson not get up and talk at our first
meeting, and why did he arise when
it was asked that those who were in
favor of the proposition stand?
On April 25th we will ask the voters
of the School District for $4,000 to
build an addition to our building, also
to put in new heating system In our
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1916-03-30

old building and properly fire-proof it,
and to supply furniture for the new
building. In all respects the building
and equipment will be substantial and
will conform to the state code and will
be practical. There will be no gym
nasium and the question of swim
ming pool is absurd, as the question
has never been proposed by the School
Board, and the board never had any
Intention of donating one penny toward
the over-advertised gymnasium.
Perrysburg School District has over
three and half million valuation,
while Bowling Green has less than five,
so there is no reason why we should
to pay our street assessment and sad
die it on the village. If there is law
passed that says we must pay it, then
we will, but not before. Is Mr.. Wilson
going around paving other peoples ac-
counts? Some people refuse to buy
necessity when it is needed.
1t seems shame that people will
block proposition so good as the
one in question. The Board of Edu-
cation is trying to do the best they
can to give the people better school
building, which even Mr.. Wilson will
admit we need. We admit we are not
experts, but we are in close touch with
men who are, one of whom is Mr..
McKesson, director of Toledo's
schools; our architect, Mr.. Stophlet,
together with other data that has been
collected, and if we find that we, to-
gether with the above mentioned gen.
tlemen, get stuck, we will call on Mr..
Wilson as he has generously offered to
help US, and for which we are exceed
ingly grateful.
This proposition is for you to de-
eide. We hope you will pass the bond
issue, but if it fails, that is your privi-
lege. We are going to play square
with you and will try and give you an
argument any time, and are free and
aboveboard in everything we do. If
you do not think so, come to our meet
ing and see. AS was mentioned, every
proposition deserves an argument,
which is reasonable and proper, but
note with crouch in it does not gain
votes for your cause.
(Signed) Respectfully,
THE SCHOOL BOARD.

of Mr.. Cole, but if the people and citi-
zens of Perrysburg knew him as well
as we do, they would have worked as
harmoniously as possible and not have
embittered his memory of Perrysburg
on the eve of his departure by unjust
and childish criticism.
Next, in regard to the new school
building. If some of the citizens could
take a glance into the crowded rooms,
see sixty pupils crowded into a space
originally meant for thirty, and notice
the poor light and ventilation, they
would hesitate no longer at voting
100000 for the improvement.
The cottage plan of building is i'm
practical. If it had not been, why
would the Board of Education of To-
ledo spend $2,OOO,OOO in erecting Scott
and Waite High Schools in one large
building? While you are building an
institution, why not make it thing
of pride to the town?
The building, as intended, would
nave Syiiiieholuii, puO iio
swimming pool, because of the limited
amount of money available. AS to
having it in the basement of the school
building is concerned, there is no other
place better adapted. The location is
central, and moreover it has always
been intended to throw open this room
(Which could hardly be called gym
nasium) to the public. 1t would be
civic improvement and public room.
We as community need the new
building, for it is not luxury but a
necessity, and so we appeal to you, the
true citizens of Perrysburg, to use
your influence and your vote in favor
of the new addition.
