Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1924-03-13

Why Was 1t?
Editor Democrat have asked
a number of men why the flags in
McConneIsville were not unfurled,
or hung out, in McConnelsville dur
ing the death and funeral OF Wood
row Wilson, Press dispatches re-
ported that the flags were at half
mast in every city and town. ham
let, glen and dale in the whole of
the United States, and thousands of
telegrams Of coincidence coming in
to Washington from all the civilized
world, yet not a flag was unfurled
in McConnelsville. So far | have
been unable to get an answer TO this.
Could it be possible that McCon-
nelsville has never heard that Wood
row Wilson is dead?
Woodrow Wilson was man of
rare talents, with noble qualities of
heart and mind, and lofty ideals.
And while George Washington
fought for the freedom of the Amer
ican colonies, Wilson, pleaded for
the freedom Of every nation. And
while Abraham Lincoln fought for
an indissoluble union of the Amer
lean states, Wilson held up the
ideal of an indissoluble parliament
of the world, in a universal brother
hood of man. And these three great
American presidents have been vic
torious leaders in tremendous con-
ficts in the evolution of man to
higher estate, therefore Woodrow
Wilson's name is worthily linked to
those of Washington and Lincoln in
the annals of our nation. And he
has given to the world a new and
exalted vision and a national goal
towards which to strive.-J. ID.
Hooper.
(The reason we never mentioned
the thing referred to above, is be-
cause we didn't want the outside to
know it, lest we should get bad
name. However there were eXer-
cises in the high school in his hon
or, and there was a flag out in his
memory, at the Democrat office.
Also the postoffice here gave fecog-
milton to the occasion. Let us be
charitable and attribute it to
thought tleSSneSS.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT


We like the action the council
took at their last meeting in refer
ence to the purchasing of fire
siren, the benefits of which are so
well understood, that to enter dis
cussion of same here would be a
waste of time. The matter of tar
paulin coverings to keep the water
off the furniture, is also a mighty
good thing. The actual fire damage
very often does not amount to much :,
but the furniture is invariably ruin
ed, or at least damaged badly, be-
cause of water. With this sort of
arrangement, the first thing to do
when the fire fighters arrive at a
fire, would be to rush the furniture
to the center Of the floors, and cover
it with the tarpaulin. We under
stand that the council discussed
other firefighting equipment, organ
ization of a company, and went into
the matter quite thoroughly. You
have made a good start, councilmen,
but don't stop with what you have
ordered done; keep up the good
work, ever bearing in mind that
there is nothing at the present time
Of greater Importance to this COM
munity than the right kind of fire
protection

WHAT THEY WOULD DO

A trade paper comes to us-the
Country Publisher, issued at Win
nipeg. Canada. In this publication
we find a full page caption of which
is "What | Would Do" This is
concerning a question the editor of
this paper asked Of number of
leading publishers of the United
States, as to the policy they would
adopt should they take charge OF a
country paper. The replies are in
teresting, but practically all Of
them ii is readily noted, never ran
or tried to run a country paper.
Successful as they have been in
running big papers of the cities,
their plans would be unworkable in
the country field. In most all of
these answers it is observed that
they would try to publish too much
OF the city paper teatures-features
that we are quite sure would never
so in most country offices. How
ever, among these replies we come
across one by Henry L. Stoddard,
editor Of the evening New York
Mail, which is entirely different
from the others. Instead of trying to
put more Of the metropolitan daily
features into the country papers, he
would reverse the order, and put
more of the country paper features
into the large city papers, which he
brings out as follows:
My answer is that / think the
city newspapers could adopt
with advantage many of the
policies of the small-town news
papers. 1t is not for the city
publisher to give advice but re-
ceive it. The city newspaper
would do we'll to follow the ex-
ample of the small-town news
paper in reporting local hap
penings of human interest
aside from crime and scandal
1t would do well to spend very
much less on expensive foreign
correspondence and cable tolls
and devote that money to local
news, and the encouragement
of civic activities and healthy
local pride. The small-town
paper is a mirror of its locali-
ty the city paper is mirror of
the world. One is close to it's
readers, the other is far from
them. So | come back to my
first statement that / think
city papers are in no position
to give advice to small-town
papers. The latter have only
to follow and emphasize the
policies they have pursued,

Tennessee Valley Bureau )

ANY-DECATUR Ala, Sept 12.-District Solicitor, D. c, Almon who led the prosecution. which resulted in the conviction of Salon A. Grubb of second degree murder in the Morgan county circuit court here Wednesday for the killing of John Henry Horton, stated that Grubb was expected to start for the state prison Saturday to serve out the 25-year sentence imposed upon him by Judge James E. Horton, cir cult court judge. Grubb, former DO. liceman, is said to be 55 years of age consequently if he lives out his sen tence he will be 80 years old before he is a free man again. unless he should be granted a pardon.
 Early Thursday Senator Melvin Hut. son, one of the attorneys who defended him stated that Grubb would appeal his case to the supreme court, but late Thursday court officials mad received no notice of such appeal. The Grubbs- Horton case was bitterly fought. The state witnesses swore positively, as did those of the defense. The unwritten law and self-defense were claimed.
 To Entertain Knights-Decatur will entertain the next semi-annual confer ence of the First district Knights of Pythians, according to agreement made late Thursday night at the final ses- sion of the First district convention held in Tuscumbia. J. w. Marsh of Florence was elected president of the district and A. L. Shelton of Decatur was elected vice president.
 Balloon Captured-An unusual event of the day here Thursday was the loss of a captive balloon, the property oi Frank Lide, well known tire dealer, but aviators, Roscoe Turner and E. D. Cobb chased the balloon in their air plane finally capturing it several miles north of the Tennessee river.
