‘A GOOD NATURED
'THE EXAMPLE OF AN OHIO
' MAN WHO HAS NEVER
| GOTTEN MAD.
| WASHINGTON, D. C.—Accord
ing to Representative Israel M. Fos
ter, of the Tenth Ohio district, one
|of the greatest and most eloquent
editorials ever written consists of only
‘three words.
" The architect of the three-word edi
torial was John B. Corns, the militant
editor of a republican newspaper at
Ironton that has been fighting Foster
fo a finish.
Chroughout the primary campaign
when this paper was not taking the
hide off of Foster it amused itself by
twitting him playfully. It referred to
him as “lzzy” and intimated that,
speaking broadly and to the point, he
didn’t amount to much.
For nine months Corns roasted
“Izzy" to a dark brown in his edi
torial columns and then came the pri
mary. Foster swept Lawrence coun
tv and carried every precinct in Iron
ton, including the one in which Corns
lives.
After the primary Foster waited
patiently and with unfeigned curiosi
ty to see what Corns would have to
say about the result. For a time it
looked as if he would be disappoint
ed. Long editorials appeared in Corns’
paper on every imaginable subject ex
cept the primary, but finally Foster's
vigil was rewarded when he picked
up the paper and saw, after careful
serutiny, that Corns had expressed his
feclings in the following editoriai:
“Izzy? He 45.”
Foster is tickled pink over that edi
torial. which he regards as one of the
most noble achievements ever wrought
ont of the English language and any
time Editor Corns wants a ton of gar
den seed or horse books he has only
to speak a word.
Foster's motto in politics is “Al
ways boost and never strike back.”
[f a man hits him, he wipes the per
spiration off his brow and asks his as
sailant to have a cigar. His rare good
nature has been displayed by a liit
which he has given to his democratic
congressional opponent—James Sharp,
of Nelsonville, O. Sharp filed as an
entrant in the primary, but forgot to
pay the entrance fee of $25 which the
law requires. After the primary the
clerk of Athens county was about to
rule that his name could not go on
the ballot. Right at that point Foster
interceded with the clerk, who is a
personal friend. and the upshot was
that Sharp’s name will appear in reg
ular form on the ballot as democratic
candidate for congress.
“T have known Sharp very pleasant
1y for a long time,” said Foster. “He
is a good scout and I couldn’t stand
to see him eliminated by a technical-

Porter Leaves Whisky
With Red Nosed Man
Pullman Car Employe Unwilling to
Take Chance With Dry Sleuths.
CHICAGO.—A gray haired man
whose nose bears a flamboyant, ruddy
hue, due to sunburn, is the amazed
proprietor of three suit cases of high
grade whisky, valued at $5,000. The
man, whose name is withheld by pro
hibition agents, alighted from a New
Orleans train at Champaign, 111. A
porter set down his suit case and sud
denly caught sight of the headlines in
a Chicago paper announcing that
southern trains were being searched
upon arrival in Chicago for contra
band booze. Hastening back into the
sleeper the porter emerged with three
suit cases, which he placed carefully
alongside the grip of the red nosed
man and clambered aboard the mov
ing train.
It has been discovered large quan
tities of booze sent from Cuba to New
Orleans are being brought to Chicago.
The smugglers employ the pullman
porters and members of the train
crews as agents.

It is only through education and training that the boys of D.
son can be made into the kind of men who accomplish the bm th e
in the business and industrial world and who therein win th, .. 5
rewards. * S
In his remarkable booklet on “The Money Value of Education”
prepared especially tor the Board of Education of the Depaftxxwfi‘l‘Jll:
Education, Prof. A. Caswell Ellis points out— R
“The necessity for education has increased and
will continue to increase\with the advance in the com.
plexity of the processes of civilization. Because of
the unparalleled progress in the arts and sciences dur.
ing the past fifty years the need for education has in
a generation multiplied many times.
“A century ago a transportation system was little
more than a wagon and a driver who knew the road.
Now, in handling a problem of transportation, ex
perts in traffic must first determine whether a road iy
that place will be worth while, and what kind of road
will be most economical and efficient; experts in fi
nance must provide the tremendous sums needed to
build the road; civil engineers must lay it out; bridge
engineers plan the bridges; chemical engineers test
the materials; mills and factories with scores of chem
ical and physical experts make the rails, build the
locomotives and steel cars; and a host of traffic ex
perts, auditors, accountants, and specially trained
managers and clerks, telegraphers, engineers and con
ductors, and others, keep the trains moving with
safety and with profit.”
How about the boys of your acquaintance in Dawson—are they
heading for “wagon driver’s” jobs or are they fitting themselyes for
bigger? Help these boys to decide to go on to school! :
