The Silver Spring Tornado,

II Is seldom that we have In our
Reighborhood a wind that can be called
n tropical tornado or a twisting
cyclone Of the northwest. News oS
that kind generally comes from far
of places or from our own cyclone
belt, and Notwithstanding loss Of life
and heavy property damage 1t Is read
with mild interest. The tornado which
struck Silver Spring is the first nearby
phenomenon of this kind TO happen In
the Washington area in many years,
and 1t is hoped that We may be spared
another visitation for an indefinite
time. The longer the time the better.
did not do more damage is a matter to
be thankful for. Some persons were
injured, but none was killed, and re-
ports indicate that the injured will
get well. Most winds Of this kind play
strange pranks. In the news Of nearly
all cyclones we get narratives OF one
house blown to srlinters and Of an.
other within a fey yards escaping un-
damaged, not because ore house was
stronger than the other. ~ I because
the wind did not strike il. 4 big tree.
survivor of century. will be uproot-
ed, and a nearby tree will not have q
twig disturbed. 1t is not uncommon to
read that while a house was smashed
its occupants escaped. Some details
Of similar nature are to be read in
the account of the Silver Spring storm.
The people Of the village and the
closely settled neighborhood about it
have much to be grateful for. Though
it was thrilling enough to satisfy an
exacting taste for thrills. it might
have been a great disaster.

AS both a believer in the teachings
Of Jesus and a follower of the teach

lkionA DR. FRANK. SMITHIESs
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1923-11-01

Mr.. Davis should know, possibly
he does not. and i don't want to ac-
cuse, him of knowing anything he
doesn't know, that our budget COM
mission, composed of Auditor Har-
per, Prosecuting Attorney McGona-
gle and County Treasurer Carter,
had to make levy of 91z mills to
secure state aid. Otherwise we
wouldn't receive it.
Now I want it distinctly under
stood that Mr.. Davis, nor Mr.. Hart
nor DR.. Humphrey. haven't the least
thing to do with securing state aid,
but it was our budget commissioners
who stood up like men, and said we
will make the high levy of 9h
mills in order to get the state aid
that we SO much need to run our
schools, when we know that other
necessary things will suffer for lack
Of funds.
Now If anybody doubts the truth
of the foregoing statement, please
read the budget commissioners re-
port, published in the county papers
of last week.
Mr.. Davis has sent our letter to
our teachers, trying to scare, to
drive to do anything to get them to
vote for Hart and Humphrey. Dav-
is, why didn't you tell them the
truth and say, are you (and some of
| you are incompetent, but / have
never told it on you, I'll swear I
have never told IT'D gong to stand
| idly by and let them put the skids
under me- and never raise your
voice or hand against it?
The good teachers need have no
| fear, for have said and say again
| that you can't pay a good teacher
too much, but the poor incompetent
inefficient teachers better get out
and work, and work without ceasine
for Davis. Hart and Humphrey.
Fellow voters, if we had a super
intendent like Mr.. Fulks, who was
big and broad, and brainy, and who
could take the initiative and ha6
the executive ability to carry it out
then we would have a school system
in Morgan county of which VIZ
would all be proud.
We are not fighting the schoo
law, but we are fighting the appli
cation of the school law, so that ou1
boys and girls will have a better op
portunity to get an education thar
they have ever had.
Yours truly

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment-clogged liver
and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach troubles.
Have you bad taste, coated tongue,
poor appetite, lazy, don't-care feeling.
no ambition or energy, trouble with
undigested foods? Take Olive Tablets
the substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief. Eat what you like. l5c and 30c.

E. r. Oglevee Expresses Views

AS a member of tle County
School Board, l want to say ! have
never voted for Mr.. Davis as Morgan
will tell you why.
At a meeting held at the Meigs
school house, before l was elected,
for the purpose of seeing what could
be done to reopen the No. 8 school
which had been closed the year be-
fore, all of the patrons of No. y
were at the meeting. They Iad the
required number of puplls, and they
asked Mr.. Davis if he would use his
influence with the state director of
schools, Mr. Reigle, to have their
school reopened. He refused to
agree to do that, and / asked Mr..
Davis afterwards why he wouldn't
do that, and he said he would feel
like a fool to meddle with Mr..
Reigle's business, and / said then,
that kind of a man wasn't worthy
of my vote, and / never gave it to
him, and l never will.
Now the real issue in this fight is
not the school law, as Mr.. Davis
would have you to believe, but it is
the application of the law to dirt
road, hilly county like Morgan. The
real and only issue with Mr.. Davis
is his $2700 a year job, and the is
sue with the people is the best
schools possible.
Mr.. Davis has said over and over
again, "you elect Mr.. Strong and
Mr.. Finley with Oglevee on the
board and we lose state aid" Why
didn't he tell you the truth and say
that he would lose his job?

STATE AID HELPS MORGAN
COUNTY TAX PAYERS

Morgan county schools received as state aid in
192O-1921 $24 ,2792 21; in 1921-1922 $54, ,373O3;
IN 19221923 $65, ,76583
Last year our state aid sufficient 10 pay
more than $4OO of every teacher salary in the
county.
Ir many districts we could maintain school
only about five six months a year without
state aid, and in some districts not more than
three months.
Last year we paid into the state aid fund of
the state about $27O0. This year we pay moth
ing unless we own stock in corporation or pay
fine or in some other way pay a special state
tax.
Shall we oppose the laws of Ohio and under
take to run our schools in way inde-
pendent of the rest of the state and give up the
state aid? Shall we secede from Ohio?
If you believe board of education should ad-
minister the school law rather than oppose it,
