CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS

In the Defiance Crescent-News of
January "a, Mr.. Charles ]. Thompson
of Defiance issues an announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican nom
ination for Congress from the Fifth
Ohio District.
The announcement is in some re-
spects unique. 1t is a straightforward
manly statement of reasons for aspir-
ing to this place in the highest legis-
1ative body Of the nation and a dec
laration of beliefs, standards and pur-
poses that show a comprehensive
study of the events of recent and cur
rent history and a thorough under
standing of the present National sit
uation and essential needs, and COM
pels an admiration and respect for the
citizen who makes such an announce
ment.
The statements of Mr.. Thompson
show him not as a crafty politician
who is endeavoring to win for him
self prestige and power, but as true
patriot and statesman, who, with con-
fidence in the loyalty, patriotism, eff
ficiency and sufficiency of the people
of the Fifth District, and in his own
ability to render real and constructive
service as their representative in the
legislative halls of Congress; offers
himself for such service subject to the
will Of the people.
Mr.. Thompson served for many
years as the postmaster at Defiance;
previous to that service he was en-.
gagged in the newspaper business il
that city, and since his retirement as
postmaster he has travelled in the
West and has been engaged in the per
formance of responsible missions un
der the direction of the Federal Cour
of this district. Mr.. Thompson is /,
man Of proven efficiency and abilit!
and has demonstrated himself largI
enough to fill with credit to himsel
place where large minded high an,
broad minded men are sorely needed
We have become personally &C
quainted with Mr.. Thompson durinI
the past three or four years, throug
his efforts to consolidate the North
western Republican and the Tribun
in one strong, efficient Republican pa
per that should better serve the com
munity and the county. Mr.. ThomI
son held an option on the Tribun
for some time, the present owners an
publishers fully concurring with Nj
Thompson's views in regard to cor
solidation and standing ready to re
tire from the field and leave M
Thompson in full control, recognizin
his superior ability along this line.
Last December Mr.. Thompson can
to Wauseon with the avowed inter
tion of consumating the consolidate
but before closing negotiations wit
the Republican, Mr.. F. H. Reighal
purchased that paper and the bull,
ing which for so many years has bee
its home, and Mr.. Thompson withdre
from the field. In all our negotiation
with Mr.. Thompson, we found hi
straightforward and honest and can
TO admire him for his standards
business conduct and manifest pc
sonal character. We hold no brief f
Mr.. Thompson, but it is our person
desire that such man as he may S
cure the nomination as Representa-,
from this district.

NO PLACE ON THE FENCE
Here In Ohio For the Straddler on
the Liquor Question.
(Xenia Republican,)


Heretofore it has been possible in a
large number of the legislative dis
tricts where candidates were afraid
to express their views on the liquor
question to avoid doing so.
Now every candidate in every dis
trict will be forced to state where he
stands, because that will become the
vital issue.
Candidates for state Offices, be-
cause of their supposed influence in
legislative matters, will likewise be
forced out into the open on this ques-
ton.
In the last state campaign, al
though the liquor question was on the
ballot in two forms, candidates, in
cluding those for governor, were care
full to avoid the issue.
The fence will not longer be gooo
roosting place. Every candidate fol
public office will be compelled to
climb down on one side or the other
painful as the process may be.

FUEL PROBLEM
WORRIES OHIO
Scores Of Schools and Fac
tories Hard Hit.
ALSO HOMES AND CHURCHES

Coal Famine, However, Does Moi
Seem to Have Touched the Brew
cries of the State-!t Takes Pound
of Coal to Brew Pint of Beer and
Nearly 100000 Tons to Run Ohio's
Brew Factories a Year-shouId the
Children Suffer That the Manufac-
ture of Beer May Continue?
The fuel problem in Ohio this winter
is causing almost as much discussion
as the war. Every community is af-
fected and in some communities every
family. Schools are closed; churches
are without worshippers; industries
are shut down; libraries and lodge
rooms are without heat; there is suf-
fering in hundreds of homes and
there are instances of illness and
death because of lack of fuel.
In the country farmers are return
ing to the use of wood and in some
sections the stove-wood industry
again 1ourishes. The closing down of
mills and factories has thrown thou
sands of men out of work and at the
very time when work is necessary to
the employer and the employe.
So far as coal is concerned, Ohio is
living from hand to mouth. There is
much criticism, and that is natural
under the circumstances. Some of it
may be deserved and some may not be
deserved. When people are cold and
when business, religious, and social
activities are hampered because of a
lack of fuel, when there seems to be
plenty of it, criticism may be ex-
pected.
"Save fuel' is the slogan of the
country over Consumers are urged
not to waste precious coal even in the
smallest measure.
But while homes, industries, schools
and churches of Ohio are in the grip
of the coal famine, have you heard OF
an Ohio brewery that has been closed
because it is without coal? 1t was
reported in Columbus during a colo
spell some weeks ago, that on the day
that six school buildings were closed
because there was no coal to heat
them, one of the breweries of the city
received five car loads of the BLACK
diamonds.
Children could not go to school thai
beer might be brewed.
One of the assistant fuel admins
traitors of Ohio says it requires 24S
pounds of coal to brew a barrel Of
beer of 81 gallons. This is equal to {
pound of coal to a pint of beer. Ii
1917, the beer brewed in Ohio, &C
cording to the Internal Revenue Com
missioner, aggregated 5,458,868 bar
rels, and to brew this beer required
676,899 tons of coal.
At this rate, Ohio brewers are nov
using nearly 1000 tons of coal day
Humanity suggests this coal be uset
to make comfortable the homes of thu
. state, rather than in the making o;
beer.
The manufacturer of beer cannot
by the widest stretch of the imagi
nation, be termed a necessity. Quit,
, generally it is considered a liabilit.
J from the time it is produced until tn
public cares for its evil consequences
At any rate, no matter how dry O.
how wet the people of Ohio may be
there is no question but that in tn
conservation of coal they believe tn
y breweries should be closed and tn
: fuel diverted to the homes where it i
greatly needed.

When You Have m Cold

It is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Crocker, Pana, ILL.,, writes
sour five-year-old son, Paul, caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy that l got a
bottle Of It. The first dose benefited
him so much that continued giving
Il TO him until he was cured"

Suuar Used In Beer

Washington, D. C.-In 1915 the
brewers of the United States used
549,S1O,OOO pounds of sugar in the
manufacture of beer. This is equal
to at least 27 pounds for each of the
20,000,000 families of the country.
With the difficulty housewives have
had this winter in getting sugar, it
is the widespread belief that the
homes, rather than the brewers,
should have the first chance.

Our merchants in Wauseon are still

A Hint to the Aged.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.
