Passed by the Ninety- Second General Assembly, the measure, according to its sponsors, was designed to curb those justices who, conduct "roving” courts. The new enactment permits justices of the peace to have county-wide juris­ diction only in certain cases, and re­ stricts their jurisdiction to the town­ ship, in which they were elected and in which they reside in other, cases, including violation of the speed' laws. Senator Maurice W. Lipscher of Youngstown, author of the measure, told the Legislature that some con­ stables “roamed all over their counties” arresting motorists for traf­ fic violations which resulted in the arrested motorist traveling many miles to the justice of the .peace court.

The league a t its recent summer, meeting, asked the Ohio Conservation council to establish a "Lake Erie State Park.” and to de­ velop it for conservation and recrea­ tion purposes. No special site or region was favored. The council gave informal consideration to the proposi­ tion a t the time of the request.- “Mpre tpuriets pnd increased travel­ ing by Ohioans."

WOMAN’S CLplI WILL MEET THURSDAY, SEPT. 9 If you consider yourself a Demo­ crat or a New Dealer you missed something if you did not haye the wife and the kiddies a t the Demo cratic picnic, last -week a t Kil Kare Park. Homer Henry, chairman of the Democratic organization, was "charge de affairs.” From reports the attend­ ance’was not a record breaker where so much free liquid refreshment and fire, water was dispensed. In as much as the beer dispensers in the county consider thornselvies Democrats (until a Republican gover­ nor is elected) it was up to the brew­ ers to be.generous and make Mr. Henry’s party affair a real party. The brewers did their part and from reports the free beer went well with the crowd. One feature of the Henry party was the gathering of so many former Kluxers that once burned crosses a t every croBs road espousing the pro hibition cause in this county. How Mr. Henry’s faction of the Democratic party swallow the free beer program now puzzles quite a few .of the faith­ ful that a t present are not displaying .the party banner on all occasions. Some weeks ago Mr. Henry #and dozen or more of his committee met in more or less secret session and voted to sta rt petitions for the impeachment of Sheriff George Henkel, Democrat, on failure of supressing slot-machine gambling in the county, following an order of Prosecutor Marcus Shoup. The basis of the impeachment, which had an early Democratic burial when the powers that be got jrasy, was that the county could not afford and the Democratic party would not have a part in such a demoralizing plan as sanctioning slot-machines; - There .are two stories relative to j u s t .what was suggested and what was operated as gambling devices a t the Henry Democratic picnic last week. One is that , the committee needed revenue and that slot-machines would do the trick. Here is were Sheriff Henkel enters the picture. How could Mr. Henfy get the ap­ proval of the Sheriff? Did he make such an effort? The answer to all is that nothing h a t a written request for slot marhines a t the-pknic would re­ ceive consideration. Desiring to keep the Democrats on the moral side in impeachment pro­ ceedings against the Sheriff leaves Mr. Henry in rather an embarrassing position sin^e other - forms of gamb­ ling were on the picnic program to bring the Democratic committee revenue to .stage the party. The tittering” the "to he’s” and the "ha haws,” we hear from certain quarters brings many a smile but it would never do to mention names or places and we do not expect a request from any quarter. Monday afternoon as we walked up Main street , in Xenia, a ’well known Democrat stopped us and asked if we Attended the party picnic. Answering ih the ‘negative we asked a few ques­ tions which led to this follower.even back to the days'of Cleveland asking: "How do you suppose some of those Democrats right their conscience to­ day following free beer at their party picnic when it was only a few years ago that one, a former Democratic police judge in Xenia, carried the prohibtipn banner and branded the drunks with fines and the bootleggers withiong prison sentences?” This was uncovering history and brought back to memory the sturdom of the Demo­ cratic police judge in the prohibition playlet when the W. C. T. U. preach­ ed, prayed and paraded every time a bootlegger was given a year's sen­ tence. A speech now front this former judge on "Prohibition Then and Free Beer Now” would he interesting. Some other Democratic leaders that paraded n the prohibition days stand today on the party platform, "Mum is the word m Free Beer.” t I f you did not have the wife and the kiddies a t the Democratic beer party or take a fling a t the "wheel of fortune,” you missed something. It must have been great to shake the hand of the party chieftan as host that was so solicitious a few weeks igo about protection of the morals of •he county. Former Congressman - a t - large Stephen Young, Cleveland, d $ ttys honors for the Roosevelt New Deal' era, John L. Lewis, §is Perkins and other Communists of the New Deal brand. Young challenged Democrats h a t did not swallow the Communistic program ns stand-patters and Counter­ feit Democrats. I t was unfortunate that not all the followers of the NeW Deal could absorb what the congress man had to say— the brewers had bea ; him to it—they were too full for u t­ terance. .
