The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1921-08-12

Nominations were made by the
Democratic and Republican parties of
Mt. Vernon at the primary held Tues.
day. In many respects it was most
unusual primary being marked by an
almost complete absence of partisan
spirit, contention or rivalry.
The complete absence of contests for
the nominations in the Democratic
camp and but three among the Repub-
lican forces contributed in a very con.
siderable part to the spirit of har-
mony that appeared to prevail The
pre-primary period was marked by an
almost complete indifference toward
political discussion or the appraisal
of candidates. Indeed it was not until
Friday or Saturday that the candi.
dates themselves began to stir about
in any appreciable degree There may
have been some movement earlier but
it attracted no notice or comment.
keigIey Nominated
The Republicans in total vote an.
proximating $50 nominated as their
candidate for Mayor Charles Keigley
over B. H. Bair
Mr.. Keigley received 461 votes to
269 cast for his opponent. Keigley's
majority is 1872.
RawIinson Wins Out
For city treasurer the present in
cumbent, l.. X. Rawlinson, is renom.
mated by plurality of but rs over
Norman w. Hopwood and James l..
Leonard. The vote given Rawlinson
was 292, Leonard PA, Hopwood 179.
1t was an interesting three cornered
race with the vote quite evenly divid-
ed between the three candidates.
Leonards lead over Hopwood was but
35.
Councilmen
For councilmen at large the Repub.
licans named William E. Grant, Char.
les l.. White and Fred ID. Pharris. Rob.
ert Porter, the fourth candidate, pol.
led but 20S votes. Grant received

The budget commission of Knox
county, composed of Auditor A. d.
Rinehart, County Prosecutor Paul M.
Ashbaugh and County Treasurer Cliff.
ton G. Hunt, expects to conclude its
work today.
The commission has been in session
for the past ten days fixing the tax
rate for the various incorporated
towns, townships, and school districts
in Knox county.
While the members of the commits
sion have no figures to give out at the
present time, it is understood that the
tax rate will be two mills higher on
an average throughout Knox county
the coming year.
Members of the commission have
experienced considerable difficulty in
fixing the tax rate in the various dis
tricts. Most of the school districts
have asked for additional money this
year, and the commission finds it al
most impossible to grant the request
and where the sum is allowed, the tax
rate will be greatly increased.
1t is understood that the board OF
education of Mt Vernon is asking fol-
little over 100000 for the coming
year. Last year the board requested
the sum of $115,O00. The city of Mt
Vernon is also asking for the sum Of
$4,000. Last year the city got $500
outside of the sum allowed the sink
ing fund trustees If these requests
are granted by the budget commits
sion, it will be seen that the tax rate
in Mt Vernon will be greatly in
creased the coming year,
The budget commission expects tc
give out the tax rate for the county ii
short time.

country has assisted 70 an incalcul-
able degree in realizing these re-
suits by explaining to the men what
the Government offers them, assist
ing them in applying for training,
! persuading them of it's advantages
when they are loath to leave home,
and making it possible for them to go
to school by assuring necessary care
for their families should emergen-
cies arise during their absenc. Some
of the men are even outfitted with
clothing and supplied with cash IN
their pocket so that they may begin
their training and live comfortably
until their Government checks come
Scarcely man has entered training
who has not had one or all Of these
services. Not less than $i50,OOO IN
loans to such men are outstanding
all the time, with repayments coming
in continually.
Men who accept training are al
lowed by the Government mainten-
ance for themselves and support Tor
their families. There is unavold-
able delay in the receipt OF these
checks and many times emergencies
arise which the check is inadquate to
cover. The Red Cross for nearly
three years has loaned to these
men money to meet such emergen-
els. Recently the Government pro-
vided a fund for making loans to
men in training. The Red Cross has
outstanding today not less than
100000 in loans to these men.
Considerable numbers of men must
receive their training under medical
care since they have not fully recov-
cred in health. For this group
schools called Resident Training Cen
tiers are provided by the Govern
ment in isolated communities far
from the heat, dust and noise OF
cites. To many reared always IN
great cities, the quiet and lonesome
ness is overwhelming. The need Tor
wholesome recreation which the Gov
rnment has no funds to provide was
felt. The Red Cross is meeting this
need by supplying recRational equip

General Summary of Work
for Month of October

Nine cases of typhoid fever were
reported during the past month.
Four of these cases were outside in
fections. and one was a contact case,
that is the disease was caused by
contact with another member Oh tne
family who was suffering with W
hold.
Several of the above cases were
taken sick in September, but dlagno,,,
sis of typhoid was not made until
the first week in October, hence they
had to be put on the record for TINS
month.
There have been numerous more
or less serious outbreaks Of typhoid
in various sections OF the country,
but we have only the few scattered
cases noted above. -,
We had one mild case of dlpn-
liberia during the month. This makes
a total of only four cases since jan
uary 1st last. No cases OF scarlet
fever. measles. chickenpoX or small
pox have been found within the city
| limits.
This is record we can well be
proud of and we only hope we VIII
| be able to hold off these prevalent
diseases still longer.
General Sanitary Work
We accomplished quite lot of i'm
portant general sanitary work dur
ing the month.
ITO nuisances were abated. IT
sewer connections made. IA privy
wells were closed. 10 complaints
were investigated and such action
taken as each case required. 5 can
typc privies we're removed and re-
placed by sewer connections. 3 petit
tons for sewer extentions were pre-
pared for presentation to city coun-
ellis.
223 inspections of restaurants,
stores and other food and drink

BANDIT
shot AND KILLED
BY BILLINGS POLICE
Dead Man Identified as Earl
P. Pike Wanted in Cas-
per, Wyoming.

Billings, Dec. %. The bandit who was
killed here Wednesday night by Patrol
man Frank Floyd following the holdup
of FL. G. Kogen, q local tailor, was
identified Thursday by former fellow
employe of the Mid West Refining
company at Casper, Wyo., as Earl r.
Pike. A message from the sheriff at
Casper stated that Pike was wanted in
that city on charge Of holdup.
The shooting ocurred on one OF the
main business streets after Pike and
a companion had held up Kogen in the
lobby of the building in which his
establishment is located. The robbers
got two diamonds valued at $1,000, a
gold watch which Kogen says is worth
5000 and about $40 in cash. One Of
the diamonds was found in the pockets
of the wounded man. Kogen was knock
ed out and severely beaten, but regain
ed consciousness in time to sound the
alarm which sent patrolman after the
bandits. When they refused to stop at
the command of the officer. the latter
fired, the bullet hitting Pike in the
neck. He died short time later in
hospital. His companion escaped.

Gordon Campbell and others against
L. G. Stevenson, as trustee of the
Gordon Campbell syndicate and
others. in which the plaintiffs ask for
an accounting, the return Of property
and the removal of Stevenson as a
trustee. Judge Rudolf Won Tobel was
engaged all of Wednesday in hearing
arguments upon the plaintiffs motion
to auash the defendants application
for a receiver and to vacate the order
to show cause. In resisting the mo-
ton for a receivership Campbell's at
torneys claimed there was nothing for
such person to receive, as there was
only $11 in the treasurey. Stevenson's
attorneys urged that receiver was
necessary until reorganization could
be effected. The matter was con-
tinued until February /, Campbell
agreeing to waive until that time $780,
900 claimed as due him for drilling, etc.

Arrest Of Cafe
Owner Results in

Special to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune
Harlem, Dec. 22-Harry Morrisu,
proprietor of the Home cafe was
placed under arrest Friday night
charged with issuing worthless check
and was lodged in the county Jail at
Chinook.
As a result of this action Morrisu
has sworn to three warrants charging

where he had his money on deposit.
The check was given to a third party
who sought to recover the amount of
the check. Morrisu refused to make
good and his arrest followed.

the right to declare war or refuse
such declaration. But it does carry
moral obligation to use force if
that be necessary as last resort.
Mr.. Harding held that this moral
obligation existed in article 10 of
the covenant of the League of Ma
tions which was in fact couched in
very much the same words as ar
ticle 2 of this treaty, and bound US
to consult with the League men,
bers in case any nation made war
Of aggression against a member Of
the League. We think Mr.. Hard
ing and the republican senator's
were right in saying that moral
obligation on the United States ex-
listed in Article 10. And If such
moral obligation existed in article
10 Of the League covenant it GER
tainly also exists in this four pow
er entente Pacific treaty. No doubt
Senator Lodge and his associates
will be able by hair splitting over
words to argue that there is some
difference between the two, but to
our mind there is no difference and
If we adopt this treaty we will do
the very thing we refused to do
when the heart of the covenant Of
the League Of Nations was up for
discussion in congress: viz. article
10 Of that document.
For our part we are not opposed
to the ratification of this latest
treaty. Article 2 anad its moral OBJ
legations do not scare US at all. We
feel sure to begin with that no ma
ton in the world today is going
to challenge the military, naval, fl
nancial and industrial power Of
Great Britain, France, the United
States or Japan, combined In this
Pacific entente treaty, by waging
aggressive war on any of their is
land possessions, even as we feel
sure that had we ratified the coven-
ant Of the League of Nations we
would never havee been called up
on to use military force for its de-
fensive obligations. No nation
would be crazy enough to defy the
whole world leagued against them
in order to invade and conquer an
other country. The four-power en-
tente treaty will get more votes
against it, we fear, since its scope
has been made plain. The Japan
ese haters and the British haters
will both be against it's ratification
on account Of its moral obligations
toward these countries. But we
can see no reason why 4 democrat
who supported the League Of Ma
tions should oppose the ratifica-
ton Of this treaty. So we expect
strong democratic vote in the
senate for ito ratification.
