The HoAkiuAniiio RobQLLion
BY WAYNE JORDAN

| United States, by seizing certain
muskets and opposing said
Davidson and the soldiers under
his command, and that they did
then and there conspire to pre-
vent the execution of said order,
On December 4 the three con
victed men went before Judge
Humphrey Howe Leavitt to be
sentenced. Their motion for a
new trial was denied, and the
court was mot aware of any suf-
ficient reason for overruling the
finding of the jury" Declaring
the penalty of the law is always
a painful duty" the judge
observed, but peace and good
order, and the security and pre-
servation of the social and civil
rights of the citizen, can only be
maintained by the just execution
of laws" Moreover, mo one is
justified in setting up his pri-
vate opinion of the policy or ex-
pediency of law as a ground
for the forcible resistance of its
execution" Aggravating the Of
fense in ihis instance was the
fact of conspiracy by num-
Der of individuals" And certain
ly their guilt was in no way
lessened by the fact that ''the
resistance which was the object
of the conspiracy" had a bearing
upon "the great struggle in which
this country is engaged, for the
life and maintenance of the Gov
ernment."
There was, however. the
pleasing duty of noting some
considerations, which thought
they do not eXonerate you
are such as to some extent viii
mitigate the judgment. One
consideration was that the statute
under which they offended had
been passed but a short time be-
fore. "and its provisions were not
generally known" Besides, this
was the first, and perhaps the
only attempt at an organized re-
sistance Of the National author
tiles within this district, in con-
nection with the measures of the
Government in carrying on the
war" The prosecution had re-
buked the EVIL example" and
the verdict had vindicated the
law ,and the court desired to
exclude suspicion of vindictive-
ness on the part of the Govern
ment." Upon the whole, after
full reflection" the Court con-
cluded, Il shall adjudge the de-
PENDANTS McFerren and CoyIe
to pay each a fine of $500 and
costs. The defendant Racey is
more guilty than the others, and
it is my duty to make a discri-
mination against him. He is
adjudged to pay a fine of $1,000,
and stand committed until the
fine and his proportion of the
costs are paid

YOUR
ELECTION
LAWS

Ohio election laws provide far
several types of ballots to ha
used at a General Election h
1949 Ohio adopted a Constifn
tional Amendment providing far
the use of the Office Type bal.
lot. Prior to that time Ohio used
the party column ballot.
The law provides that this hal
lot shall contain the names of all
candidates for election to offices
who were nominated at the next
preceding Primary Election aq
candidates of a political partv
or who were nominated by nom,
mating petition as independent
candidates; except candidates
for judicial offices, for memhar
of a oBard of Education, for
municipal offices, and for town
ship offices. In the even-numbar-
ed year election we elect only
state, district, and county Of
of Board of Education, for
icipal officers, and township of
ficers are elected only in the
odd-numbered years.
The Constitution of the gaxA
of Ohio provides that the NJ " u
of all candidates for an Office

John Wesley McFerren return
ed to Hoskinsville after the war,
and lived out his days as a
Noble County taxpayer. At this
distance there appears at least
the shadow of a doubt whether
he was actually a deserter. The
Crisis contended at the time that
McFerren had been captured
while on scouting duty and par
oled to his home from the South.
Such paroles were common en-
ough in the early days of the
prisoners oath not to take up
arms again. Parole violators who
were recaptured were summarily
shot, and if Wesley actually was
a parolee, that would account for
his reluctance to take the field
II the weight of evidence in
dicates correctly that Wesley had
not received Tertullus' letter or
been influenced by it, and if
Wesley did believe that he. was
legitimately out of the service,
then the attitude OF the citizens
In front of Racey's store is less
difficult to understand. Even if
these things were not true but
the people Of HoskinsVille mis-
believed them at the
time, it is easy to see how the
appearance of the corporal's
squad would outrage them. A
community known for its law
abiding character would hardly
put itself in a position of def
lance to law without provocation.
While regetting any action that
ran athWart Administrations s
purpose Of preserving the Union,
one may at this distance applaud
zeal in behalf of civil rights.
Made possible by the hysteria
OF the times, the episode was at
least a symptom of widespread
disapproval of the Emancipation
Proclamation and the manner in
which the war was being con
Quoted. 1t was difficult for some
communities to adjust them
selves to the fact that yester-
days extremist fringe was now
definitely in the saddle. The air
was filled with Incorporate
utterance, and the Crisis coun-
seled wisely when il said, by
care and little complacency on
both sides much trouble may be
avoided" Fortunately, the elec-
tion of 1863 left no doubt as to
Ohio's stand Noble county gave
Brough 2058 to Vallandigham's

smouldered for a time died down
with the years.

in the church yard at Hoskins-

Prisons Report Calls
Training School for
BOYS Here Unsuitable

The National Training School
for Boys here was described as
no longer suitable for the re-
habilitation Of juvenile delin-
quents in the 1853 annual report
Of the Federal Bureau of Prisons
released today.
James v. Bennett, director Of
the bureau. recommended in the
report that the training school
be replaced by two institutions,
one to serve the East and one
the West. This has been a goal
Of the bureau for a few years,
but lack of funds have prevented
the move.
Replacement Of the training
school. on Bladensburg road at
South Dakota avenue NE, was
one Of the projects Mr.. Bennett
listed in estimating the Federal
prison system needed $100 mil
lion in the next five years for
construction of new facilities and
modernization of existing ones
to meet the increasing penal
population.
The report commented:
THE National Training School
for Boys is becoming increasingly
difficult and expensive to operate,
not only because it is located on
one of the busiest highways in
the District in the midst of
teeming commercial activity, but
also because as a institution for
the treatment Of the juvenile de-
linquent it is now considered
obsolete and unsuitable from the
point of view of plant and physi-
cal facilities"
The report also recommended
again the replacement Of the
well-known penitentiary on Al
catraZ Island with a larger mod
ern institution.
Other recommendations in
cluded a hospital to care for the
growing number of criminals
with mental disorders; a youth
center: another women's re-
formatory and new institutions
to serve the Chicago, Los Angeles
and New York areas.

anything impulsive in their re-
lations with the West, and since
Gen. Grechko's trip conceded
with East-West negotiations at
Geneva, it aroused enormous
speculation in West Germany.
The United States Air Force
gave the Russian and his party
an extraordinary escort. Two Air
Force helicopters met the So
viets' three black limousines at
the East-West border at Hers
field and furnished an umbrella
down the express highway to
Heidelberg. Two American jet
fighters circled the party. Mill
tary police jeeps, six in all,
guarded the convoy fore and aft
during the three-hour drive.
An American spokesman said
Gen. Grechko was merely re-
paying a call Gen. Hoge made on
him near Berlin last November.
Gen. Hoge's call on the Soviet
general had lasted only Is min
uteS but an American aide said
the Russians would lunch with
Gen. Hoge at his headquarters.

Steel Union Drafts
First Nationwide
Negotiations Of year
ev the Associuted Press

PITTSBURGH, May 6.-Policy
makers of the big CIOs United
Steelworkers union open a two
day meeting today to draft final
plans for the first Nationwide
labor negotiations of 1854.
The unions 170-man wage
policy committee gathered to
map strategy and put finishing
touches on contract demands to
be made on the basic steel in
dustry later this month.
Among the USW's announced
objectives this year are a wage
increase and improved pension
and insurance benefits.
The policy committee said last
fall the union would seek a guar
anteed annual wage-but OBJ
servers believe this point won't
be pressed.
Opens May 18.
Bargaining will begin May 18
with United States Steel Corp,
the Nations top steel producer
and traditional bellwether of the
industry. Other firms are ex-
pected to set dates for negotia-
tions soon.
The USW sent out formal CO.
day notices last week telling
basic steel companies it wants
to negotiate new contracts to
replace pacts expiring June 80
and asking them to set dates for
discussion of wages, pensions,
insurance and all conditions of
employment"
In its bargaining with q. S.
Steel andeother basic producers,
the USW will be representing
some 100000 workers. An addi-
tional 650,000 members will be
affected, however, since the con-
tract pattern worked out in these
talks is expected to apply in ne
gotiations later this year with
fabricating and allied industries.
Pay Boost Won.

workers to between $2.14 and

Observers feel the USW will

industry is in the midst of a
business decline and the unions
bargaining power thus is less
than usual.

ask is anybody's guess. AS for

Tuesday, and spent the rest of
the day cindering and sailing
the highways. There were 25

BY afternoon, despite the wet,
three and a half inch snow fall,
all of the state highways were
cindered and passable. Salt was
spread on u. S. route 81 and
passing motorists commented
that the Noble county section

By evening, most of the county

streets had been cindered on

Local Scouts Get
New Camping Site
Cambridge Businessman
Donates IS Acres

The Boy Scout troops of
Noble and Guernsey counties
were donated 35 acres of ground
this week by a Cambridge resi-
dent and it will be used this
summer as a camping area.
Scout Representative Robert
Lambert said the land was locat-
ed only two miles from Cam
bridge, just off the old Curdory
road and north of the reservoir.
With this camping area avail
able to local scouts, it will mean
that troops can now go on over
night and weekend hikes. The
land will also be used for
Merit badge work in soil con-
servation, forestry, wild life
improvement and other outdoor
projects.
The donor of the land did not
wish his name made public but
he is widely known for his
interest in youth.
Until this gift was announced,
Camp Zane at Dresden was the
only site available to local
Scouters and it was much too
far for many local events.
Chairman Bill Kennedy and
members of the camping and
activities committee are hand
ling details of the transaction,
which will benefit the scouts of
Noble and Guernsey counties.
