John W Davis says he is not, and never lias been and never shall be a member of the klan. That's definite enough and plain. LaFolle|te has denounced the hooded order and it remalns only for "Silent Cal” to come out on the question to make it unanimous. The traffic problem is a big one and , a difficult one. Every person who drives a car can assist the authorities if they will make an honest effort to obey the laws and to avoid accidents, i Drive carefully, watch the railroad ' crossings, keep to the right, make ‘ proper turns, use the hand signals, do the things requested. There will . be some accidents even then, but i they will be fewer. Mr. Rohrer is peeved because the 1 court house and other public buildings ’ are located here, but it would be a , strange county seat without them. , The question is whether we want to . have them equal to other counties or ' let them go to pieces. Every citizen ' in the county ought to be interested in ' maintaining the buildings, the roads ( and other property wherever it is, < and the attitude taken by the Witness < i 3 selfish and narrow. 1 , t It is said that not more than thirty ! per cent, of the voters of the United States care about the outcome of an election in this country. If that be True, it’s a sorry state of affairs. Surely this year the percentage will be larger for behind the noise of the bands and the glare of the red fire are many things of importance to you and yours, in this county more than a thousand people who have the right to vote have not been exercising that right. We should vote 100 per cent, this year. The Van Sweringen brothers, of Cleveland, have included the Erie, the Pere Marquete and other railroad properties in the Nickle Plate system and now cont/rol about 15,000 miles of rail, the fourth largest system in the United States. It is interesting to note, too, that they are not through and that within a few years will easily lead. They hope to have the only coast-tocoast line in the country with branches reaching every nook and corner of the nation. Some dream these two young men are realizing and the story of their twenty years in btts' iess is unsurpassed in American history. Fire prevention, which has been 1 growing in practice since the begin- i of the twentieth century pays its cost many times over. It is a credit 1 Wet in business, just as going value ] good win are.

Face to Face r. p. With r. Izetta Jewel Brown r Who Nominated John W. Davis • (By Joe Mitchell Chappie) i j Tenacity and singleness of purpose 8 are found in the brief but full career j of Mrs. Izetta Jewyl Brown of King- ; wood, West Virginia. To nominate a I Presidential candidate, who won the I nomination, is a distinction and honor [ that belongs to Izetta Brown. She . first brought the name of John W. Davis before the San Francisco Convention in 1920 and with one of the finest speeches delivered at the Madison Square Garden in 1924 named the present Presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket. In the midst of a stage career of promise, first appearing in Boston as Izetta Jewel, she met Congressman Brown. A courtship terminated in a very happy marriage in the Capital City. Under the charming influence of Mr. and Mrs. Brown their home soon became prominent in Washlngtion social life. The death of her husband was a sad blow. Following his death, Mrs. Brown found herself with little money and a run-down, stockless farm near Kingwood. West Virginia. At this point Mrs. Brown began to exhibit the qualities of perseverance, courage and management which have placed her among the leading women of this country. The little farm took on new ' life; cattle grazed where there had been no cattle; old dilapidated build- 1 ings were replaced by modern struc- 1 tures. The farm was placed on a 1 paying basis, and became the model 1 of the community. All this was accomplished without any previous pre- 1 paration. for Mrs. Brown is a city wo- ■ man born and bred. ! A woman with an abundance of energy and large capacity, Mrs. Brown began a search for a means of s utilizing her ability. Her activity found an outlet in the civil and 1 political affairs of the community, ■ where she effected many reforms in ' the schools, and through her efforts the agricultural life of the neighborhood was brought to a higher stand- 1 ard. Her influence continued to grow 1 and soon political leaders recognized s th? qualities of a standard bearer, c She was induced to become a candi- 1 date for United States Senator on the r Democratic ticket in 1922, at which e time she was defeated by a small r majority. s Mrs. Brown entered the political v

prevention engineers have developed I safety measures which have advanced the milling industry from a position of extreme hazard to comparative freedom from hazard. Formerly is wa s considered unsafe to do business in large units in the milling of flour and it was difficult to get an adequate insurance coverage and to attract investments in mill stocks, Orr said, but with the application of scientific precautions to safeguard the properties investments are now readily made in the milling industry and production is carried on in large units without undue risk. The cotton and drug industries are notable examples of other lines that have been made similarly sate by fire prevention, Orr states. Every business, whether manufacturing, jobbing, or retailing, can profit from the practice of fire prevention and Newman T. Miller, the state fire marshal, has an nounced that his office wilj furnish information and make recommendations or otherwise assist any business or industry in making plants and stores more safe. 0 | Big Features Os ( | RADIO ) Programs Today j I SATURDAY’S RADIO PROGRAM I (Copyriht 1924 by United Press) ' I WEAK.

arena with the same determination and decisiveness of character, which had distinguished her previous work. Her campaign speeches revealed insight, a remarkable knowledge of public affairs, and weije invariably delivered with force. Mrs. Brwon was not considered a serious contender, but before the campaign was over her opponent found a fight on his hands that he had not anticipated. “My dramatic training taught me the value of enunciation. To mumble words is an insult to our beautiful langauge and is an indication of lip laziness. Speaking the “word” dearly is a very important factor in a woman's career." In appearance Mrs. .Brown presents an aspect of radiant loveliness, force and charm. She. is slight in stature, - walks with freedom and .energy, has a kind word and a smile that captivates all whom she meets, and is just about ail that one would wish to find in the typical modern woman. From early girlhood Mrs. Brown was interested in the suffrage cause. At one time she was asked whether she was a suffragist or a suffragette. “I am a suffragist.' she replied. When she was asked the difference, she answered; , "Why, a suffragette >- one who takes a bite out of a policeman, .nd a suffragist is one who takes dinner with a Senator.” j Mrs. Brown was chosen to represent her state at the Democratic , Convention, and it was here that her great opportunity presented itsei. With one masterful stroke *of , oratory she clove a hopeless deadlock. giving the race of John W. Davis momentum. Defeats have been-nam . ed a-plenty, but now issued the woman victorious. In her American sisters have one political leader Os - whom they are proud. . 1

The robbery has been done and mitted by the boys, now lodged in the county jail. The statements are true' and the boys must pay the penalty. | The name of Cleho Magley as he gave t when arrested is not his correct name. Cleho was born in or near Geneva. Ind., and his name as it ap-j pears on the record in the office of the Judge of Adams county is Cleho McC'.easter. He was placed in the Homa for Orphans at Mexico, Ind., at the age of four years, and in a fewi vears was transferred to the orphans home in Muncie, Ind. # and remained J there until he was nearly 9 years old. when he was placed in our home by I the Adams county board of guardians, i it that time composed of Mr. Fordice. Mr. Fruchte. Mrs. Heller and Mr. Shackley. He was often visited by j these people and also the state board and we all felt very proud of him. As time went on he was called Cleho Magley, to which we did not object. When 19 years of age he enlisted in the U. S. navy under the name .of| Cleho Fravel, and was stationed at j Hampton Roads. Va. In a short time he was transferred to Portsmouth Va. and his credits were such that he was ordered to the hospital base at Great Lakes. When he was discharged from the service he located at Muncie where some of his people live. In a short time I received an application from him asking for a job las a truck driver for the county, which was granted until July 23. . I only give that story that the Tublie may know who he is.
