Bateman, super­ intendent of the Columbus State hospital. He announced that follow­ ing success in a test case, twenty-two additional patients- confined to the in­ stitution are being given the insulin in an effort to cure them of the disease. Three weeks ago a young woman was discharged- from the hospital, cured,- as a result of the new treatment. She was Ohio’s first official case. Dr. Bateman said that' the insulin, the same as that used to treat diabetes, may cure two-thirds of all dementia praecox cases if the treatment is started early enough.

Iliff and wife* former residents, now located in Chicago, spent the week end here with relatives. ft was from Chester that many of our pioneer families came to Cedar- ville.

Governor One of the most enjoyable occasions within my recent memory, was a meeting I attended lost Sunday a t Ox­ ford, Ohio. It was a celebration, held at Miami University, in honor of Wil­ liam Holmes McGuffey, Ohio’s great pioneer educator, whose memory has been enshrined in the memory of prac­ tically every family in the state—and far beyond its confines, I listened to various speakers tell of the accomplishments of this humble man, who compiled for the schools a series of readers, which-today are can* sidered by many to be superior to any since written, and ones that will, in the minds of those brought up under their precepts, remain long after others have been forgotten or dis­ carded. I remember well my own father quoting from the MqGuffey readers, and many of the poems they con­ tained, he had committed to memory. The stories were virtually a household word. Whereas in my own mind I had formerly associated William Holmes McGuffey as the author of a series of books that had become classics— a t Oxford SundayT learned many in­ teresting things about the man, Mc­ Guffey—his humble and retiring nature—his sincere ambition to pro­ vide text books for school children, which were destined to form the basis of thought for the oncoming genera- tioiis. His simple thought and . in­ herent honesty, his faith in humanity were some of-the thoughts that per­ sisted in my mind. . Before I left the beautiful Miami University canipus, I had allowed my fancy to take me back to the days when McGuffey Iwas a?member of the faculty of this very same university. I found myself visualizing citizenship of that day. I thought of the teach­ ings of that .great educator, in terms of present day government. What a wonderful state Ohio would be today if state, county and town­ ship officials were imbued with, the same rugged honesty* the same die- sire to tie of benefit :to, mankind. I f officials woUld. talce' the^auhe: pains, give the same thought find have the same ambition McGuffey had when he prepared a series of readers for school children; a series of text books that had. much to do with the mould­ ing of thought and. principle of the youth of a nation—much influence on their after life. Transporting the thought into poli­ tics and state government, I could not help but dream of what might— und could—be accomplished for the good of the greatest number a t all times. And calling on characters from other books, Davjd Harum entered the picture—“just supposing,” naj he did, when he traded horses with the church deacon on Sunday. “Just supposing” a legislature convened with the Bame ideals inculcated by the McGuffey readers, with nothing but the simple and honest desire to be of benefit to all mankind. I must admit I do know some legislators who have such ideals, and who live up to their ideals—-but they have an un happy lot. When they honestly want to go deeply into the merits of a matter—when they want to investi­ gate and correct some irregularity of government for the benefit of those who are governed, they are called “snoopers,” and their motives are impugned, regardless of how fair and honorable they actually may be. In such cases, every known kind of obstruction ip thrown into their path. Every possible bit of pressure is ap­ plied. Everything possible is done to prevent such a legislator from per­ forming the political service he knew to be his sworn duty when he took the oath Of offififi. .And if it was hiS duty then—it is finy thfi less his duty now? Visualize the eontrast—if you can between fwhat the average official does in office—and what he was taught to do, when^a student in school, fol­ lowing the text-bookfi of such a great man as Mo Guffey, I t is a long stretoh of the imagination—but sorry as I am, It is a fact—there is a great and unabridged distance between the two focat* points. It would be the lieight of my ambition to preside in a legislature of members who did what they knew to be right, rather than the things they think are politic. Suit To Halt Discharge Filed By Kildows Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Kildow, super­ intendent and matron of the Greene County Home on whom removal from office proceedings are expected to be instituted, Saturday filed an injunc­ tion suit in common plefig court to en­ join the Greene County commissioners from suspending them. Following a hearing Judge R. L. Gowdy refused to grant a temporary restraining order, indicating that the injunction was premature since the commissioners have taken no steps to remove or suspend them. Judge Gowdy said he would not interfere unless the commission could be shown to have violated court procedure of law.'' ■ Democrat Committee Divided On Sheriff Charles H.

Short was lifelong Greene[taken _over and -the owner .fined , in ■ With the spirit of impeachment in the air and dark clouds hanging over the White House, the Democratic Committee in this county fell in line and voted last Friday night pro­ ceed with impeachment of Sheriff George Henkel, the first Democratic sheriff in the history ofi the present generations in the county. . Chairman Homer Henry, a new­ comer in Democratic politics, with Republican foundation stock in bis veins, called a secret meeting last Friday night to give Sheriff Henkel the same kind of a dose Southern Democrats are planning for Franklin Roosevelt—impeachment. The vote was 12 to 3. Grounds for charges were the Sheriff had failed’to comply with the orders of Prosecutor Marcus Shoup for the removal of slot ma­ chines. Henry in a public statement said the committee was justified in taking such action, from reports a t hand, also that Henkel was out of the county Wednesday, and not a t the fair as reported. It is said the first slot machines ap­ peared in the county the Friday pre­ vious and two or three days later the Prosecutor issued his warning. Later he selected h is. deputies and picked up four in operation. -These paid $50 fines in Common Pleas Court. Sheriff Henkel says his deputies were on duty at the fair and could not make all the rounds at- one time but did cause the removal of several in Xenia, Yellow Springs and James­ town. While the Democratic commit­ tee was preparing the resolution Fri­ day night to slaughter Henkel with­ out his knowledge, the Sheriff was in Jamestown where a machine was mayor’s^court. Sheriff Henkel denied any inten­ tion of ignoring the order of Prose­ cutor Shoup and there has been loyal cooperation between theibwo according to their own statements. That the whole affair has the ear­ marks of a political plot"is that Henry endeavored to get Prosecutor Shoup to issue a public statement through the press that the Democratic Com­ mittee endorsed the Prosecutor’s raid. This was not done as it would have involved Shoup in Democratic factional quarrels. First published reports reflected on Henkel and involved Shoup to some extent until the clouds cleared, Henkel, not to be made the goat in the affair, immediately called upon members of the Democratic committee for an ex­ planation. He demanded action and a petition was circulated among the members which was signed by 22 of the 24 members, calling, for a meeting Monday night, to recind the action of the Friday night meeting. Members of the committee signed the petition as if nothing had happen­ ed, the band-wagon jumpers that had voted to impeach, relented, and have left Chairman Henry holding the bag. The Monday night meeting will deter­ mine two things*: decide who is in authority and give Henkel a dean bill of lading. Some even intimate there may be a reorganization. Nothing of the kind ever happened in the history of the county and it is unusual for a political committee to ask for impeachment of one of its own party members. Republicans smiled a t the incident while among Demo­ crats there has been a deep resent­ ment against the faction -Seeking to scalp Henkel. Predictions are that the Sheriff Will emerge with honors and get recognition as first in the county, when it carries to influence fit home and in Columhns, as long as the Dem­ ocrats control the state. One report we get from political channels in Coiumhus is that Demo­ cratic state leaders openly frown i n what has taken-place and some things scheduled that are apt to cause public resentment, particularly following the fiasco ofi impeachment plans. The whole BeMoctytic eruption comes from factional politics within the party. Some political appoint­ ments have not been made with the ipprevai of those who consider them selves in power.

Not many farmers put their wheat in barn for late threshing any more. The quality of the wheat was below the average tak­ ing the county as a whole but the yield was large for the season, accord­ ing to farmers and elevator esti­ mates. It is said that the shipments from here exceeded 100,000 bushels. With most farmers the oats crop was failure as the quality was below the average. A bumper corn crop is predicted based on present prospects due to timely reins, the excess so far this year being eight inches, and the July and August rain fall^nore than double ten-year average, I t is said the acreage to corn this season is greater than it has been for ten years," At this time wheat prices continue to decline but locally com is Off the market, local dealers being unable to meet the demand. This is the first time this situation has existed in this section of Ohio for many years. For this reason light weight hogs have weighted down every market, breaking the peak price, Packers say there is a city boycott against the high price of all klhds of pork.

The old guard had endorsed Charles Saw­ yer for governor against Davey, ']$ was Henkel that lead the campaign forces for Davey In this county,, who today holds the lines between Co­ lumbus dhd Greene county. ' So, the “school 'boy” leaders would not havo gained anything, particularly if the Gov. re-appointed Henkel. * . Republicans were not the only partizans that walked about .with board smiles. The writer found, many amusing expressions on the impeach­ ment incident among Democrats, some worthy of repeating. Democrat No. One—An old veteran that was forced to retire when *the party machinery fell into the hailds of the younger element says: “Politics cannot be played out of a school book, you have to know, the game by experi­ ence. I have no interest in Henkel hut he is right this time and he lias done nothing more' than have the Republican sheriffs of the past. Did you ever hear of a Republican stopping race horse gambling a t the fair grounds? Then why should a Demo­ crat.” Democrat No. Two;—“I he tempest in the tea-pot was petty politics a£- * tempting to put Henkel in the hole, framed up by one faction of the party that could not control his office. If these same. Democrats are so good . why did not they file affidavits them­ selves and then Henkel would hays , been forced to arrest those he was charged with protecting. The im­ peachment business will get them nothing.” Democrat No. .Three—“If these goo4 Jittle.bi>y3 who think they knpyi politics wanted things "cleaned' up*;"* certainly Sheriff Henkel could hays filled the county jail with Democratic offenders.. Who is selling the beey, operating the race horse and numbers pool and poker games? I wonder if the boys know that some of the cam-. ’ paign money came from the brew­ ers?” When asked another question pn law enforcement lines the answer was. declined rather than expose a Democratic office holder. Democrat No. Four—“My idea of the party factional fuss is that the Democrat party has two brothers try­ ing to do for it and to it what two brothers did, for the Republican party. It is all horse-play to make a goat out of the Sheriff.” Democrat No. Five—“What is all this mix-up indhe ranks of your party in the county?" was our question to Mr. No. Five. “Well, I might give you an answer that would not suit . you, The trouble is the Democrats lack experienced leaders, everybody wants an office first. Then we have no newspaper support. The Democrat paper is owned by a Republican, The Republican paper is ruij by two Demo­ crats. The other papers are neither, except yours, which is Republican, to the Democrats and Democratic to tha Republicans, but everybody knows you run it. So, who is there that can un­ tangle this mess here in Xenia?” . •Democrat No, Six—“I t Was a dirty trick pulled on Sheriff Henkel by sore­ head Democrats, This maii Henry (party chairman) only turned Demo­ crat to get an office. When we get through with him there will be no place for him other than where he came from—the Republican party.” Democrat No. Seven—“Will there be any reprisals over the iction of the twelve Democrats that voted at the secret meeting to impeach Henkel?” “Yes, the,gun is set for Henry,” was the answer, “Will there be a reorganization, of the com- mittee and what about committeemen that hold appointments?” “Judging from the list there rtilist have been a rush to get on the band wagon and sign Henkel’s •petition.” The reply was: “You said it brother, George ,S now1in the driver’s seat.” Democrat No. Eight—“What effect will the impeachment movement have on tiie proposed removal by the Demo­ cratic members of tlie Board of County Commissioners of Supt. Riidow and his wife a t the County Home?” “Kildow is protected by Civil Service and the Democrats have preached this bosh for years ah if they fail it will be their fault.” 4 . ii * Mr#* Clayton McMillan was called to Tarkio, Mo., this week due to the Bines# of her mother, Mm.
