about three weeks when his death
occurred. He would have been 68
years of age the coming December.
He is survived by his wife who was

Offers Suggestions

Editor Democrat: October is on
the wane, and the open season for
politicians to tramp dog fennel is
coming to a close. And how well
they have improved time. You see
them on every side wandering aim
lessly over the county trying to find
green voters enough to give them a
fourth and fifth term. They think
they have entirely too much knowl-
edge to be wasted on the farms and
in the shops; but they want a high
salaried office where there is more
succulent food in it, and where
they sit in an office with their feet
upon the mahogany while the coun-
ty furnishes them with clerks who
do all the work. Why not elect the
clerks and leave them out? Don't
you think that the county officials
need rejuvenating? Pigs kept on
the farm too long need change of
feed and need new blood, or they
degenerate back to scrubs. The
Democrats have the new blood to
rejuvenate them. They are all high
birds. Why not put them inf.

home here Tuesday at about p. m.
He had been suffering more or less
for some time with heart and kid
ney trouble, but had been about as

his severe illness. A clot on the

Davis And The Dollings Company

Six months before the Doilings
company went into the hands of
receivers the insurance companies
holding risks on the properties of
the corporation cancelled them be-
cause of the moral risk In. blunt
words this means that the insured
property was worth more after fire
than before.
The Dollings company then turned
to another insurance agency willing
to take the risk at good premiums
and found one at Cleveland operat-
ing under the firm name Of Davis &c
Farley. The vice president of the
company was Harry L. Davis, then
governor of Ohio. The firm was giv-
en- all of the business of the Dol
lings company and the latter paid to
Davis e Farley premiums amount
ing to $192,702.47. When the Dol
lings blow-up came Davis & Farley
paid back as unearned premiums the
sum of $20,273.58, leaving them
net sum of $172,428.89 in prem
iums retained.
Thus did "The Collector" stretch
out his hands beyond the state
treasury and exact his toll, the in
vestors of the worthless Dollings Sc
curities being the helpless victims.
Harry L. Davis, the Republican
candidate for governor, is the same
Harry L. Davis who is vice presi-
dent and the head of the Davis &
Farley insurance firm of Cleveland.

GOVERNOR DoNAHEY SAFE

Only over-confidencc ON the
part of the voters of Ohio can
defeat Governor Vic D0nahey
for reelection. The swing
from Harry L.. Davis to the
Donahey banner by leading
Republicans and newspapers of
the state has sealed the vic
tory for the present incumbent
OF the governors office. The
infantile efforts of Harry Il.
Davis to brand Donahey as a
spendthrift and waster of pub
lie money have proven futile
and have been hurled back into
the speakers teeth when his own
unsavory and unforgettabIe adj
mlnistratiOn record has been
laid bare before the electorate.
The public is not so easily fool
ed as Harry Il. Davis thinks,
neither is the memory of man
short. The taxpayers do not
forget his debauchery of the
high office of governor during
192f-f922 when the governors
office resembled am auction
block.

The reception given at the Pres

Alexander States Position

Editor of the Democrat " gu
have asked me for an expression re-
garding the proposed child labor
amendment, and / am glad to give it
to you and through you to your
readers.
This amendment was proposed be-
cause it was asserted that children's
lives are being virtually crushed out
in factories and mines and sweat
shops in states that would not
adopt for themselves child labor
laws to correct these offenses against
humanity.
take it for granted that a child
labor amendment which would cover
these offenses would have practically
no opposition.
But the proposed amendment goes
far beyond this, for it says: 'The
congress shall have the power to
limit, regulate and prohibit the labor
of persons under 18 years of age"
Just how far the members of the
present congress intended that the
laws should go in carrying into effect
this amendment, may be judged
when they voted down an amend
ment exempting the labor of any
child in the house of the parents,
and voted down another amendment
exempting the labor of any child on
the farm of the parents.
If this amendment is ratified and
congress passes laws prohibiting the
labor of persons under is years of
age, and no exceptions are made, a
mother could not have her daughter
wash the dishes or a father tell his
son to water the horses
1t seems to me that this goes en-
tirely too far, and because Of this,
of the amendment may
be prevented.
If the amendment is ratified then
congress must enact laws to make
the amendment effective, and If am
then your representative in congress,
you may be sure that I will favor
laws which, while
the present day abuses.
will, in no way interfere with pa
rental control In the training Of
their children In the home, In the
necessary habits OF industry. ! be-
Iieve the ideas OF the grange In this
regard Gre very good.

EDISON b. YOUNG

Some personal history of Edison
b. Young, Democratic candidate for
state senator, ninth h-fourteenth dis
trict, may interest the people of
Morgan county.
He is SIS years old born and rails
ed on a farm in Athens county, but
left the farm in early manhood, and
at present lives in the town of Ath-
ems and is a man of wide business
experience.
His father was successful farm
er in his home county. Both of Mr..
Young's parents were born in Ath-
ems county, but his maternal grand
mother, whose maiden name was
Jordan, was born in Morgan coun-
ty.
Edison B. Young married Addie
c. Baker in 1895. They have four
children, two sons attending Ohio
University, and a son and daughter
in high school.
Mrs. Edison B. Yonng was the
only daughter of Clara Morrison
Baker whose father and mother,
Joseph and Elizabeth Garven Morri-
son were old residents of Morgan
county.
They moved to West Virginia
about the time of the Civil war,
leaving behind them numerous rel
atives and friends in Hackney, Bev-
erly. on Olive Green creek and sur
rounding territory. Mrs. Young's s
mother died 35 years ago, and she is
unacquainted with the folks in Nor
gan county, but this recital may stir
nm tho memOripS of the older resi-
dents of Morgan county and
strengthen their interest in the pres
ent Democratic candidate for state
senator, who will, if successful, serve
the interests of his whole district,
favoring no faction or profession,
but with a square deal for all

THIS WIND BAG WILL BE Bio
(By a wide awake observer)

(By a wide awake obserVer)
Tuesday afternoon, the human
dirigible, the giant wind-bag of the
United States senate, piloted his way
along the winding Muskingum to
his hangar in the twin city opera
house. Here the Senator F. Blow
hard Willis, the self-appointed de-
fender of Senator Truman Newberry
and Harry ''Dougherty" (accent on
the Dough- prated of G. o. P.
achievements in frog-pond voice
that sent his empty words rafting
up the street as far as Jail alley.
Who is this Senator Willis, pre-
tending to come as godfather to
the voters of Ohio? Yes, who is
he? He is the u. s. senator
(smaIl's") from Ohio, who on Jan.
12, 1922, voted to seat Truman New
berry as a senator, though Newber-.
ry's attorneys admitted expendi-
lures in behalf of Newberry's NOM
nation, to have been $18S, S,568.08,
or more than Newberry could re-
ceive in salary as a u. S. senator in
25 years. And it was Willis, this
suave statesman, who fell fiat in
his effort to brow-beat the Daugher-
ty investigating committee with the
childist threat, "You had better go
slow, the attorney-general is a.
fighter and he'll fight. He'll not
run" Willis was jibed in the senate
by Sen. Stanley of Kentucky, for this
statement, and got furious. Sen.
Willis never has realized that any
man who delayed either of these In
vestigations was doing distinct
disservice to his party and to the
nation and should not complain IL
his motive is questioned.

NEELY STORE ENTERED AND
QUANTITY OF GOODS STOLEN

Burglars broke into the Nicely
store at Neelyville last Friday
night, and took what Mrs. T. J.
Neely, the owner and manager of
the store, estimates to be about
500 worth of goods. The stolen
articles included mems, children's
and misses shoes, mems underwear,
gloves, mems socks, coffee and
shot gun shells. There may have
been other things taken, but these
enumerated are known to be the
main ones.
1t is thought that the burglary
was committed in the after part of
the night. The Neely store includes
three rooms, all on the one floor.
Entrance was made at the front
door, the door being sprung in some
way and pried open. They left the
store by the same way they enter
ed, after having been in two rooms
the front room and the rear room,
the latter being a storage room and
also the room in which the coal is
kept. 1t is not known whether the
thieves were travelling by a ear, but
some tracks in the road at the rear
of the store indicated that they may
have been, and that machine may
have been parked there. A bunch OF
the socks they had taken from the
store were found lying in this road,
and had evidently been dropped as
they were hurrying to get away. i
There was no money in the store
at the time of the trespassing, ex-
cept few pennies in the money till.
These were not taken.
