KARLH BULL - EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Entered nt the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31,1887, as second elans matter. FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1927. -1 em p l o y e e s sh o u ld b e r e in s t a t e d w it h f u l l p a y The more we learn of Wilberforco conditions about the in­ dustrial school operated by the state, the more we are convinc­ ed that the statement of E. Frank Brown, state examiner, is cor­ rect that he had only scratched the surface in his 150 page re­ port. The shameless, waste of public, funds, misuse of state prop- i erty, removal of property belonging to the state and bad man-; agement, the more we believe that State Auditor Tracey was correct when he stated that he had enough information to send two persons mentioned in that report to the penitentiary. During the past week the Herald has received information •about many things that have taken place at the _ institutation that are not even mentioned in the report. When it comes to a truck load of plumbing material being moved from the state institution grounds on a Sunday morning around the hour, of four o'clock; disappearance of a costly automobile; costly rugs and house furnishings,' it certainly is time for a halt being call­ ed against this wholesale malpractice which has been exposed tion against this wholesale malpractice which has been exposed to the public, _ ’ Not alone has public business been conducted evidently for the personal gain of no one knows how many persons, but the election ballot box has been manipulated, not for the gain 6f party tickets, but for individual candidates. The Herald has information1 that tends to show just how and why certain can­ didates received handsome votes. There seems to .be no end to the corruption that has been practiced about the institution. It has been charged that certain members of the faculty aS well as highly esteemed employees, were discharged by the hoard of trustees because they told the truth, and did not fear a threat that they Would be discharged if they exposed condi- . tions. Following the examination these men were discharged to the shame and disgrace of the state. Their dismissal has brot about a storm of protests ffom citizens and the State Board of "Control will not have completed their task until they see that each and every employee is returned ’tvithout losing one cent in pay. ’ . Greene county has great faith and utmost confidence in Missjtallie Q. Brown of .Wilberforce. Her testimony before the Board of Control no doubt had great weight; Her interest in the education of the young folks of her race has never been questioned. The institution in which her father helped build up has been personal and the sacrifice she has made towards this end is known to all. .It must be painful to her to see this awful record written in the pages of history5of an institution that has had such a glorious record in the past. Miss Brown can hardly be content to see the school wrecked by politicians and Wilberforce citizens admit the school is no longer in good re- mte even among the people for whom it was founded., The at- endance this past year was far below normal. The summer school is one of the smallest in years. The Alumni no longer gives loyal support and reports are current that it was the lead ing members of the alumni that hired Chicago detectives to dig up the information that brought about the state investigation. Prominent church people from over the country have protested to the state authorities as to the scandalous use the school was being used. Miss Brown is insistent that the discharged em­ ployees be reinstated. She is equally insistent that the school must Have anew head and a new board of trustees. She will be supported by her' many white friends over the state. Moreovei Miss Brown is well qualified to campaign the state for righting conditions if the proper authorities do not complete a task now confronting them.' , ' . , The board controling the industrial school serves under ap­ pointment of Governor Donahey. The hoard is first responsi­ ble to the Executive. So far Governor Dpnahey. has not exercis­ ed much concern outwardly. He must know of what has taken place for we learn that a copy of the examiner’s report ha .been put in his hands as required under the law. Certainly the Governor cannot read the evidence offered and sit by without taking’action immediately and that action should be reorgani­ zation of the board and demand the resignation of Superintend­ ent Bundy. Another Department of State should be called upon by the Governor to explain why a $40,000 sewerage disposal plimt ordered by the legislature'for the state school should be con­ structed on grounds other than that owned by the state. We are informed that a location was surveyed on state grounds but over night a change was made and the plant was started on the university grounds, supposedly for the use of the university, and to be supported by the state. This work is under the De­ partment of Public Works, headed by Mr. George F. Schlessin- ger. A statement should be forth-coming from Mr. Schlessing- er why there was a change in location of the sewer plant, all of Which is mentioned in .the examiner’s report. One member of the Industrial Board, Harry C. Smith, Cle veland, in a letter to this paper, stated that the C. N. I. Board would never vote for a financial officer dictated by the State Board of Control. Yet Mr. Smith’s Board only last Saturday in session at Wilberforce voted for Carl Jenkins as financial officer as demanded by the Control Board. By this action Bundy is di­ vorced from handling the $1,000,000 appropriated by the leg­ islature. Mr. Smith’s threat evidently did not have the support of his co-members who probably only gave in in the hope that such action would tend to oil the waters and cover up the past. If Mr. Tracey as State Auditor is correct, and we believe he is from the examiner’s report, there should be restitution to the state for the missing property, or prosecution, or both. To make such a statement and drop the matter would be breaking faith with the citizens of Ohio on the part of a puhlic official. There should be no dickering on such an important matter.. The Gov­ ernor'should take the lead and ask the Attorney General to di­ rect a grand jury hearing in some other county than Greene. Ohio citizens have a right to expect that superior state of fleers will demand fair arid square dealing with puhlic funds on the part of subordinates. The Wilberforce case shows wanton waste, misappropriation of public funds and geheral had man­ agement. Employees dismissed because they aided in uncover­ ing this rotten affair, must in the name this fair state be-restor­ ed to their former positions. Ohioans will stand for nothing less, President Johnson and Superintendent Bundy should be called before a grand jury directed by the Attorney General, A Refreshing Night’s Ride on Lake Erie T a ti s P*t CAB iH ii 8u*ntAf an xJ enjoy a toot, elmti i aurrivln*to th« mornfox, rtxod by the break In teuttitf* 8r* Buffalo’* parka ahd l*>ukv»fd» an rout* to Nl*|t»ra fa!fa,th©B»U*.rayto Canadian and Eaatarn pleasure resort*. ii s s a s t f s a j ^ , Fare $5.50—Round Trip Fare, $9,50 m i WntHi* ' T rm m jm m m * : HartNinth Street Pier ' ClevaUnrt/OHio t.-— Botit OASfWtnw* in Pally 8*nrk* gfti IFYOUNEEDPRINTINGDROPIN August Sale o f Rich Furs SPRINGFIELD.

Would that we could understand; Has not Mother Euvtli her losses When November smites the.landt Not too long she gives to grieving; Mother Earth goes on believing j Though her heart the rose regrets, Spring will have Its violets. * U Mother Earth in chill October . Hears the thunders In the sky, Sees the woods turn spur and sober, Sees the blossoms fade and die. But, when winter brings Decembers, Though the roses she remembers, Forward now her face slie sets— Spring will have Its violets.

Loving yet, yet keep on living; Losing, learn the Joy of felvlng; Though the day so darkly sets, Spring Will have its violets! by McClure Nawaoapar Syrullcato.) --------- - O - ----------- .
