No Business Is Too Big to Use Ad­ vertising and None Too Poor to A f ­ ford using i t PRICE, ?1.50 A YEAR WLBERFORGEIS YET INSTATE OFTURMOIL Developments following the inves­ tigation o f affairs at the State Nor­ mal and Industrial School mb Wilber, force are that the C, N, I, Board has elected Carl Jenkins as financial offi­ cer o f the institution. He is the one demanded by the State Board o f Con­ trol, Mr. Jenkins ha? been connected with the Secretory o f State's office and will serve at a salary o f 13,000, The <3. N. I, Board had previously elected Randall Hickman, a t a salary o f $5,600 over Theodore Carter, who was executive clerk. Carter testified before the State Examiner and the Q, NV I, Board discharged him and al so abolished the office as Carter was a Civil Service employee. Seven othgre who testified were also discharged. The State Sosrd o f Control has not yet approved the pay roll o f 70 em­ ployees under the C, N..I. Board. The Control. Board will recognize Jenkins , but insists on the'other discharged em .ployees being reinstated. This the C. N, I. Board has so f a r ,-refused t< do. The C, N, I, Board also refused at first to accept 'Jenkins but finding no way out gave in thinking this wa£ to he the end o f the trouble. ■ , , A plan had been set up by Supt,. Bundy, Senator ( ? ) Marshall and i -few others to force Hickman’s elec­ tion at a salary o f $3,600 over Theo Carter, who had testified before the ex&mmei‘, gave the inside o f affairs, and for so doing was discharged. The examiner found nothing against Mr. Carter. Sen. { ? ) •Marshall4and -Hick­ man endeavored to keep the Coiitro'. Board from getting Jenkins, who is r Civil Service employee. The Herald has received consider able information about W ilborfom ‘ University, that has been volunfc&rilj' placed before us,. We have no partic- ular concern' about the management o f the University, That institution is more o f less private and belongs tc, the A, M, E. church. , This, -week wt receivedVcopy o f the Gazette, ft pub­ lication edited by Harfy-Smith, Cleve­ land, in the interest o f the coloret, people, in that city. As Editor Smitl 1armember o f thejC. N . I Board at are informed that no more hogs f r o m r f | r t f l | | T l f f l A f t l f l f n the school farm he killed.

As Supt. Bundy was present when the hogs were dressed he might now ex­ plain*where the hogs came from and what became o f the dressed meat. While the state had granted the C, N« I. abundant funds to operate the school yet we hear some , sad stories of. what the students had to" put up with in the dining room, Regardless of the protests o f one cook, she was forced to prepare meals for the stu­ dents with so-called lard rendered from “ gut-fat” . Many o f .the stu­ dents became sickened and when ever Siey could slip away would eat at the public restaurants across from tlie in­ stitution. When the students were found “ eating out” they were repri­ manded, It is safe to ’ say ' that no .‘gut-fat” ever passed over the-Super­ intendent’ s table. One Xenia business man was given a contract for blinds at^the.State In­ stitution. The employees could nc- complete the work in one day and left about fifty dollars worth o f blinds in packages in the building until, the next .morning. When the employees returned- they found every blind had disappeared. The *contract was com­ pleted but at a loss to the Xenia firm. The mere fact that the Stbte Ex­ aminer’s report contains two affidav­ its that one prominent official solicit- d bribes from a contractor/ should' bring matters to a head. There should ba an investigation, to see i f percen­ tages o f employees salaries were not retained before being turned over to employees. There are many things that need investigation. What will the authorities do in Columbus ?|That s the question uppermost in the'mind if the public today? The State Board o f Control would ‘,e violating a saci’ed trust to the pub­ ic as officials’ if this hoard turns over fee 'million dollar appropriation to the present Bb&rd Of Trustees to'be wast­ ed as has been revealed by the Cxam- ner’s report.

Among the things that have come to our attention in looking over the Wil­ berforce situ&tion is that on a certain coat contract which called fo r fifteen oars o f A grade lump run o f mine, hut one car o f this grade was delivered. The remaining shipments were all of the Very poorest grade o f slack. Following the investigation last February orders were given, so we and should 'be held accountable fo r it.

The United States Supreme Court decided 1 ast winter that the commer­ cialized justice o f peace court was un­ constitutional in as much as they all shared in the fines collected.
