POLITICAL PARASITES.

Information has reached us that
professional politicians" have started
their usual rounds, giving out the
same plasters of the years gone by
.'the number of voters they con-
troll. their power to deliver them, and
the prestige they have in the commun-
ity to change political views, etc." we
can only say as we have always said,
BEWARE" The electors in Denver to-
day are thinking beings and they
are thinking deeply, having been de-
ceived SO many times by the flattery
Of so-oalled leaders. Remember the
religious politicians also, who can
command congregations and sway
them to any side, who make the aver
age voter respond to their beck and
call as they assume. These agents
held their own before the intelligence
of the voting public had reached the
present standard, but not keeping
abreast of the times they are stlii
great in their own conceit.

What Was Her Neply?

Gilbert Stuart, the first great por-
trait painter of America, had the al
lists foible of uneasy personal vanity.
He loved especially to dwell upon his
social triurnphs abroad and at home.
When painting the portrait of Isaac
Hull, Boston philanthropist, he en-
tertained his sitter with anecdotes Of
his friends among the aristocracy. I'm
fortunately, in the midst of his brag-
gadocio, Airs. Stuart, who did not
know that there was a sitter, came in
from the kitchen, her apron on, and
her head tied up with a handkerchief,
and cried out: "Do you mean to have
that leg OF mutton boiled or roasted?"
"Ask your MISTRESS" was Stuart's
felicitous reply.

THE FUTURE SCHOOL BOARD.

In accordance with an act of the
Legislature the numerical strength
of the School Board is increased
to seven, and within two months
from date an election will be held
to secure responsible and trust
worthy citizens for the position OF
members who have the education
al welfare of the children at heart
and who will eliminate all selfish
and narrow tendencies from their
minds for the good and wholesome
benefit of the pupils of our
schools.
Among those mentioned as pos
sible candidates are Mrs. e. P.
Costigan and Messrs. Lucius Hal
lett, David Main, William E. Hut
ton, Henry V. Johnson and III. p.
Ellis, who are being supported by
a large number of voters, and 1t
necessarily follows that bearing in
mind the series of troubles and
Interruptions we have had with
the present Board, the public
ought to be particularly Interested
in this election and safeguard the
interests of the children-the
same filling a role of vast import
ance in the city of Denver and
state of Colorado. We will have
more to say on this subject in fu-
ture issues of this paper, and we
hope more popular interest will be
exhibited this time, as from our
experience with the actions of the
present members we are deprived
of the best to be produced by the
individual wrangle that often
takes, place at their sessions.
Parents especially should begin
to know something about these
candidates so as to use their vote
intelligently, and where there is
likely to be any special favors re-
garding creed or race, you will be
in better position to save your
selves anxiety over the possibility
of rules and ordinances that may
be detrimental Keep posted on
the forthcoming school election
and do your part conscientiousiy,
which means A GOOD FOR ALL.

Blame Placed on Mothers.

1t is a reflection upon mothers that
the death rate of babies under one
year is near 1S per cent of the entire
number of deaths in the United States.
Such a percentage of loss in the case
of sheep or cattle would engage the
attention of the department of agri-
culture. The baby is entirely depend
ent upon its mother and the care given
it. We should talk less about "race
suicide" in the ordinary meaning of the
term, and more about the murder that
is due to ignorance and indifference of
mothers who take up the duties of
motherhood with no conception of
what they really mean.-Exchange.

Delta of the Danube.

Sixty miles from the sea begins the
delta of the Danube. The Kilia, the
most northern of the branches into
which the river divides, carries more
than two-thirds of the volume Of its
water to the sea, but is not deep enough
for the more important traffic, which
moves by the more direct branch
through the middle of the delta to Su-
lima. Here natural channel Of
to IL feet has been increased to 20,
and long dikes stretch out to sea and
carry Off the silt. Although 1t dis
charges less than Z per cent of the
Danube's waters, the Sulina chan
mel carries shipping which null
tiplied tenfold between 1861 and 1902.
1t was steadily increasing with prom
Use of future prosperity when the war
interfered. The Danube Steam Navi-
CATION company was reporting 2,0OO.-
600 tons a year previous to 1914.

Famous Writer'S Beginnings.

Jack London, before he reached the
goal of one of the most popular writers
of the day, combined the efforts of half
a dozen men in various kinds of work
ranging all the way from tramp to a
sea captain. Mary Roberts Rinehart
was to be nurse and gained her init
mate knowledge of hospital work in
the Pittsburgh School for Nurses.
Louise Closer Hale had histrionic as
pirations, and her familiarity with
stage life is due to the fact that she
was an actress before she became a
writer.

He Would Wait.

The mother told her little son that
he could bring home two little boys
after kindergarten. She left three ap-
pies for them to eat. Instead of bring
ing home two little boys, her little son
brought home six boys. The maid said:
"Well, George, 1 will have to cut the
apples in halves now, because we have
not enough for each child" Suddenly
one of the children, who had eaten his
fill of candy, said: "Well, don't give
me a half, 1 am not hungry now,
and tomorrow 1 will come for whole
one"

Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1917-11-08

The Journal is much surprised to
learn of the circulation of petition
for the appointment of Commits
sion to have control Of Ft. Meigs
grounds. Our records show that
there has been a Commission Of
five men in charge of this work ever
since June Is, 1908. Two of the
present Commission, President
Corlett and r. W.Comstock reside
in Lucas county, and the other
three are Wood county men. The
petition also discloses opposition
to the transfer of the control
of Fort Meigs to the Maumee Val
ley Pioneer and Historical Associa-
tion. Of course a petition to ap-
point a Commission is absurdly
futile, for that has already been
done. AS for opposing the transfer
of the present Commissions control
to the Pioneer Association, there
will be ample time to protest
againstsuch action if fprotest should
be proper or necessary. The next
regular session of the State Legis.
lature will not take place until late
next year and it is only at that
session that this matter can come
up, if at all. But we are not at all
sure that the people of this county
will oppose the transfer of the con-
troll of Fort Meigs to the Pioneer
Association. On the contrary we
can see a wonderful stimulus to
patriotism it would be to have an
association of several thousand
men, women and children in this
beautiful valley feel the duty and
responsibility of keeping, i'm
proving and building up
these historic grounds. No one
can carry the site of Fort Meigs
from US. On the other hand we in
Wood county are not so narrow
and unpatriotic as to deny to the
people Of this valley living outside
of this county, at least some share
of the honor, the responsibility and
the expense.

"LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE"

There has been considerable COM
plant from certain people of the
township that the boys from the
township who are now in the SER
vice have not been given as kindly
treatment from the town people as
are those boys who are from the vii
lage Of Perrysburg.
Last week the Journal announc-
ed a Bounty Window had been
arranged in the front of Witzler's
furniture store and that contribu-
tions would be received and ship
ped to them each week. People
from the township were especially
invited to contribute such articles
as would remind the boys of home
What is the result?
We regret to state that of the
large amount contributed for the
boys only one contribution has
been received from outside the
village. That contribution is from
Fred Ault, superintendent of dis
trict schools, and is a box of ci.
gars. He is the only person from
Perrysburg township (outside the
villags) who has done anything for
the boys in this appeal for remem-
brance from home.
Look at the window and it will
be seen that there is a large supply
of good things to be sent, but with
that one exception, every article
has been supplied by people living
in Perrysburg village.
Comment is unnecessary.
