We fail to see where the taking
the appointment of the director of
education from the control of the
governor and placing 1t in the hands
of a board would be taking it out Of
politics, since these boards are al
ways composed Of an uneven num-
iber of persons and the party having
the majority of the board would al
ways get the appointment. What
the people of Ohio are interested in
most now is way TO save as much
of the expense of government as
possible, and by eliminating this
board, it would save their salaries,

Late in the afternoon she called
again and receiving no answer be-
came alarmed and called a police
man. His room door was barred on
the inside so they had to put up a
ladder and go In window. They
found him lying on the bed as II
peacefully sleeping. He had taken
his life by shooting himself behind
the left ear with revolver. His
health had been failing for about
three years, and the last year he had
not been able to work all the time
when there was work, and had fail
ed very fast the last few weeks. He
had stomach and kidney trouble
and leakage Of the heart. He had
not written to any of his brothers
or sisters of his failing health, but
few days before his death, his
nephew, Ogle J. Wells Of Belling-
ham, Wash, had a letter from him
saying his health was poor, but
that he was still able to go around
His nephew since living in Wash
ington state, had visited him twice.
The last time about four years ago.
Joe, as he was called in Los Angeles,
left Morgan county about 40 years
ago, at the age ofs20 years. He
was in the western part of Ohio
for awhile, then Travelled for por-
trait !. company, being in several
states, then went to Los Angeles
when it was . booming city. He
then went to lathing and had been
until his death For a while he
was a contractor, but the last few
years worked under another con-
tractor from whom we received a
letter saying he was one of his best
workmen, always reliable and
honest. No doubt despondency
over poor health and no one to care
for him, as he was never married,
was the cause of him committing
the decd. In his Bible was found
clipping from a Los Angeles
paper, relating the death of two
men, caused by suicide. The clip
ping was placed between two
leaves containing the 9Th chapter
of st. John. No doubt he had been
studying over that chapter His
remains were left in Los Angeles as
we cared to remember him only as
we last saw him when he left home
as promising young Christian
man, 40 years ago.

superintendent at q salary OF $4,-
900 per year and the appointment
of 60 patrolmen with the approval
