events Of news Importance. They
must just come to the very proper.
conclusion that this is election year
in Ohio. and as such there must be
interest aroused If the voters leave
their fields Of activity and take part
in the primaries and other prelimi-
nary events before the main contest
in November, The government of
the State of Ohio is all right. The
state house still stands. 1t doesn't
make any difference how bitter the
opposition may be to Governor Vic
Donahey no one will even hint that
he has wavered in his duty, or that
he has personal knowledge of any
wrong doing And it might as well
be stated right here that any state
employe who is linked with ques-
tionable dealings might as well look
for another job. Donahey has the
hard earned reputation of not only
being absolutely honest, but has no
use for a state employe who wavers
in his duty, or places his honesty in
question Not even the most bitter
enemy of the governor has dared to
hint of him being dishonest to the
extent of penny. The enemy at
tempted it when he was state audi
tor, and it is but natural that insin-
uations are being broadcast at this
time to check if possible rapidly
growing confidence in the chief ex-
ecutive. There has never been a
probe limited at by the enemy but
what Governor Vic took up the mat
ter and personally urged the most
rigid investigation. The present
discussions have been started by
those who would reflect upon the
governor if possible, but it is not
guess to say they will gain abso-
lutely nothing, and in the end Don
ahey will emerge with clean wear
ing apparel, and the mud-slingers
themselves will be covered with the
splashings of water soaked dust.
Clean politics are admired by rural
voters, as we'll as others. There is
no question but what there are thou
sands who would like to displace
Donahey, but they will never gain
this end by their present methods.

Outdoor Camp Must Have Permit
District health officers of the
state have been notified by the state
board of health, to see to it that all
outdoor camps are in proper sani-
tary condition before they are per-
mitted to open. Under a law which
goes into effect this year for the
first time, all types of summer
camps must, have an official permit
from the local health authorities.
During the summer of 1925 ma
jority of county districts were visit
ed by representatives of the state
health department, and the plan of
camp supervision outlined. Due to
the fact that the work started late,
and many of the camps were in full
swing, numerous defects were tenn
porarily permitted in order to pre-
vent the closing of the camps and
disrupting the summer plans of the
patrons. This year, however, it is
expected that no camp will be per-
mitted to operate until it has re-
ceived the permit showing that it
has complied with every state and
local regulation. The water supply
must be approved and no exceptions
will be made on this special feature
of summer camps.
