The policies of Governor Davis ad-
ministratiOn as Chief Executive of
Ohio, differ not at all from his pro-
nouncemehts and pledges as a candi-
date fr the gubernatorial chair and
his friends have absolute confidence
that Governor Davis action and con-
duct as executive will be in perfect
accord both with his prediction
statements and his inaugural address
last Monday. The important and out
standing points in Governor Davis
address as given in the daily papers
are worthy of republican and pre-
servation for future reference.

ties in enforcing prohibition laws.
Reorganization of state depart

Early enactment of laws to carry

Smith law which safeguard against
rural communities being compelled

part of the increased cost of govern

An attitude of firmness in dealing
with prisoners in penal institutions,
with no abuse of the pardoning
power.
A more effective marketing system.
A program of road construction

tention of the school children.
Miss Aust will examine the chill
dren for defects of eyes ears, nose,
throat, nutrition etc., and report all
defects that she may find directly to
parents or guardians together with
suggestions as to their correction
While Miss Aust's principal work will
be in the schools of the county until
the end of the present school year,
she will be available under the di-
rection of the Red Cross Nursing
Activities Committee for any special
work that may arise in he county,
such as epidemic of contagious dis
ease in any locality in the county.
Miss Aust is to act as instructor and
advisor in home nursing and hygiene:
her duties as welfare nurse for the
county preclude the possibility of her
giving time to actual nursing on her
part, she is here to show the peo-
pie how to do this work for them
selves.
Miss Aust will cooperate with the
County Health Commissioner, but
she is working under the auspices
of and is paid by the Red Gross So
ciety.
The real benefit to the county from
her services will depend in large
measure upon the extent to which
the people of the county cooperate
with her in her work.

did ROOSEVELT
STEAL PANAMA?
By J. E. Jones

The Republic of Columbia insisted
very zealously during the early days
of President Wilson's regime on be-
ing reimbursed to the extent Of
about $20,00O,O00, because "Roose-
welt stole Panama from Them. Henry
M. Hill, brilliant young man who
was born and raised at Panama, re-
Gently came to Washington, and
when he found that this issue was
st II alive, he proceeded to attack it
vigorously. His argument leaves no
doubt his knowledge Of the details
of the history of his country. Mr..
Hill in a statement entitled "The
Independence of Panama. reviews
the ararice of Spain in attempting
to hold control over Cetnral and
South American peoples. "Twl
great principles of the revolution Of
the South American republics must
be borne in mind" he says. First
of these is "that, in spite of some
attempts to keep certain territory
within the limits of some Republic
by force, in general each territorial
region has been permitted, in the
end, to determine for itself the ques-
tion of its union, with, or separation
from, other territories and (2) the
general tendency has always been
away from large republics and to-
ward the. development of local indie
pendence." Mr.. Hill shows that
the history of the United States of
Columbia has been a striking illus
tration of this second principle and
taking up his own Panama as an il
lustration, he shows that it became
Independent of Spain as early as
1921 without the aid of Columbia,
and that it afterwards Joined with
Columbia "purely as an act of her
own volition," and rendered ma
terial assistance to Columbia in es-
tablishing her independence. In 1880
Panama separated herself from Col
umbia, but returned to the union,
but Ion a second occasion Panama
remained separate from Columbia
for nearly a year, when it returned
to it's place in the Columbia govern
ment following peaceful overtures
that contained many promises which
proved, according to Mr.. Hill, to be
"specious." In 1910 Pnaama again
maintained her independence for two
years, when she was again cajoled
into reunion with Columbia.
There is a good old Yankee saying
of "three times and out" Panama
however, separated again from Col
umbia in 1860 but was compelled to
return to Columbian control by force
of arms. The people of Panama de
termined that when the time came
they would strike for a permanent
independence, and with an undaunt-
ed spirit they waited until the third
of November, 1908, when for the
fifth and last time they successfully
proclaimed themselves as an indepen-
dent government.
Mr.. Hill says he is prepared to

AMERICANISM

"There can be no divided allie
glance here Any man who says he
is an American, but something else
also, isn't an American at all.
We have room for but one flag,
the American flag and this excludes
the red flag, which symbolizes all
wars against liberty and civiliza-
ton, just as much as it excludes any
flag of nation to which we are
hostile. We have room for but one
language here, and that is the
English language, for we intend to
see that the crucible turns our peo-
pie out as americans, Of American
nationality, and not as dwellers in a
polyglot boarding house; and we
have room for but one soul loyalty,
and that is loyalty to the American
people,

OPERATION BRING RESULTS

During the last few months the
Northwestern COOPERATIVE Sales
Company and the various locals Of
this organization have put forth a
determined effort to increase the
use of butter and eliminate the use
Of oleomarg arine and butter subst.-
tutes. In answer to circular letter
sent out to the various merchants in
the territory covered by the sales or
ganization many Of the stores re-
ported sales of oleomargarine as
compared to butter at the rate Of
about 5 pounds of oleomargarine to
2 of butter. Several stores have not
changed this ratio to any extent but
some of the stores have recently re-
ported a marked increase in the sale
of butter and a corresponding de-
crease in the sale of oleomargarine.
The following letter is an example
of sales as reported in the month of
December.
Wauseon, Ohio Dec. II, 1920
Gentlemen
We find that during the month Of
November our sales for butter and
Oleo are approximately the follow
ing:
Butter,-2300 lbs.
Oleo,-864 lbs.
We are glad to note that these
figures show nearly three to one in
favor of the use of butter.
| We are glad to cooperate with you
in the increase Of butter sales and
are only handling Oleo because of
an existing demand.
Our interests are first, last and al
ways with the dairying interest of
the community and no one feels the
effect of an unfayorable condition in
the dairy business more than we mer-
chants do.
If we can be of further service to
you kindly advise us.
Very respectfully,
Brigham, Guilford & Co.
F. r. Guilford
Continued cooperation of the kind
indicated in this letter should work
for the good interests of both the
dairymen and the merchants in this
territory.
