BOY'S BROTHERHOOD
Enthusiastic Meeting of Boyg and
and Advisory Council Ives Boys
Brotherhood To Be Continued. Un-
. der New Plans Mr. Ives Remains
The Chief Leader. 5 .
For the past four years the Ives
Boys Brotherhood has been one the
institutions of which citizens of Wau
seon have had; great reason to be
proud. The result "of its working has
been to produce as fine a body of
manly industrious and mannerly boys
as any town or city in any state of
the union has ever had reason to take
.pride in and boast of. The leading
spirit in this work with the boys of
Wauseon and vicinity has been and
still" is Mr. C. J. Ives. It was due to
has initiative and effort that the boys
' were organized in the first place and
the boys themselves chose the name
of their organization "The Ives Boys
Brotherhood." Mr. Ives has nven
without stint of his time and strength
to this organization and it has grown
under his leadership, (or rather with
his leadership, for he has been as a
big brother, always with the boys to
counsel advise and suggest,) from a
mere handful of boys to a member
ship in good standing of 93 boys.
' . Mr. Ives health had begun to fail
and his physicians advised him that
it would be necessary for him to take
more rest and otherwise take care of
himself. In order to lighten the work
and at the same time do justice to
all the boys of , the brotherhodd the
organization was divided, into three
divisions, Senior, Intermediate, and
Junior, and some of the Senior bovs
were pressed into service- as leaders
of gymnasum squads of the younger
boys Mr. D. S. Knight ateo helped Mr.
Ives by being present at some of the
meetings which Mr. Ives could not at
tend. This arrangement was not. entirely
satisfactory inasmuch at it made too
'arge a number of boys for the ca
pacity of the hall, and gymnasium and
still more demands on Mr. Ives time
and strength than he could meet. The
question of disbanding the Brother
hood was seriously considered but
this did not meet with favor among
the boys; finally the situation was re
ferred to "The Council" an advisory
board consisting of business and pro
fessional men of the town who believe
in the boys and in the Brotherhood.
A meeting of this council was called
and those' present went over the sit
uation discussing it thoroughly and
finally agreeing upon a plan which
they decided to present to the Broth
erhood with their , recommendation
that it be adopted. Last Monday eve
ning a special joint meeting of the
Brotherhood with. "The Council" was
held in the Bov's Hall, the three divi
sions of the Brotherhood were well
"en resented, and with them were the
following members of the council: C.
H. Jordan. F. H. Reis-hard, F. H.
Wolf,. G. E. Howe .. D, S. Knight,
Henry Schlatter, Earl Harger, H. F.
Davis and F. EV Kenyom , The bojm
much to- the delight 'of , the council
members present, went through their
regular order of business. The ;de
nartment and parliamentary order
observed bv the bovs was an eve
opener to the men who were present
ad c&ed forth many remarks of
admiration from them. The plan of
the council was then presented in
"utlme to 'the Brotherhood:- : First
that the Brotherhood remain intact
as an oroanization with Mr. Ive as
hn leader . and director in chief.
Second, that the present intermediate
Junior divisions be each divided
into two sub-divisions to have a

Toledo and Indiana Railway Company
Banquet Employees of the Road and
Electric Light and Power Company
Sunday Evening The Trolley Base
Ball League Organized '
The fine large hall over the freieht
room in the new T. and I. station at
Wauseon has been furnished with
chairs and tables, has a fine smooth
hard pine floor and is well lighted and
ventilated: it makes the finest kind
of an assembly room and last i Sun
day evening it was opened by the To
ledo and Indiana Railway company
when the employees of the railway
and the Wauseon electric light and
power plant were their guests at an
informal luncheon. Nearly everyone
of the company's employees were pre
sent at some time durine' the eve
ning and over ninety were served to
tne appetizing comestibles provided
by the hosts. The luncheon was serv-
sd cy -Irs. Warren and her two
daughters of Toledo. Mrs. Hancock of
Bryan iand Mrs. Norris of Delta,
The ;,comnany was represented by
General 'manager , Warren Secretary
Schenck. Director. Woodberry, and
Auditor Kleinhans: all of .these
gentlemen made addresses during the
course of the evening and the general
purpose of the gathering as stated by
these representatives was to get ac
quainted and enjoy social intercourse
with one another. "
Mrs. Schnetzler. wife of the Arch-
bold agent and Mrs. Frank Marks
wife of our genial Wauseon agent
were among the guests present.
Certainly this action of the . Toledo
sfcid Indiana Railway company'1 is to
be commended, there is no better way
to prevent a chasm between employ
ees and to insure harmony and co
operation than by just such friendly
gatherings and the consideration of
matters of common interest. Anoth
er commendable action of this rail
way company is that the furnishings
fof the hall were purchased in Wau
seon; it will also be remembered
that the building of the depot was
consigned to a local contractor and
the contract! for the new electric
light and power building, which is to
be begun at once, has also been let
to a Wauseon contractor, A. H. Hill.
Tuesday evenine the Assembly
Hall was again brought into use this
time for the purpose of. organizing
the "Trolley Base Ball League,"
which up to date includes teams from
Swanton, JUelta, Wauseon and Arch-
bold, with either two teams from To
ledo or one from Perrysburg and one
from Toledo to be added. The follow
ing officers were elected on Tuesday
evening: . Fred Longnecker of - Delta

Tribute To Her' Character and Work.
'.From Mrs. Allen Shadle Read At
Memorial Services Held By Wau
seon W. R. C. Wednesday March
. isth. ' t ,
This special call of today, is to pay
a loving tribute to one of the noblest
of humanity, it is nation wide.' From
Maine to California her name ' is
known and revered for the life, long
spent in doing good to others. By
voice, by pen, - by physical exertion,
by all the devices of her active brain,
by her unselfish deeds. She won a
national love and esteem, which those
who knew her best can daily testify
to the noble traits of her heroic char
acter, in forming and framing the
ground work for many of the noblest
of philanthropic societies the world
has ever known. It was for her to
suggest plans to operate on, and
hosts, of other noble women were
ready to take up the line of march
and aid ' her in bringing about her
many plans for the good of the
young, the old, the weak and the
heavy laden. For nearly fifty years
we have been familiar with the name
of Mrs. Kate Brownlee Sherwood, and
her beautiful songs of praise, which
she freely (rave upon every occasion
where the soldiers were collected at
encampment at reunions, or camp
fires, never faltering to commend to
all ' that was good and great, none
knew her but to love and admire her.
She inherited a high degree of in
telligence and by constant develop'
ment, were brought out to the bright
scintilations of purity of soul, loyal
ty to country and humanity,, and no
more devoted wife and mother ever
was than she for whom the nation
mourns today, but her life has ,not
been spent in vain, and although the
summons came to her so suddenly,
her good deeds will never fade, and
although we call her dead, really
Tlfere is no dead, what aeema ao ia tranal-
tton." ' ,
"Sha ia not dead aha Bleeps ; and aha shall
wake,"
Wake to new joy, new triumph, and new
power; . .
Wake to receive her birthright and her -dower,
i '
Soon will the evcrlaatinff mornlnff break.
Soon will the mists and clouds, her soul for
sake.
And other mid leafy glade, and sunny bower.
Shall live each tree and bloom each sweet
bright flower
She-loved on earth, her beart's home to re
make. We mourn but when for her that Sun shall
rise.
We shall forget our grief, and earth born
nil in.
And watch the dawn with glad expectant
eyes
That shall restore our dead to life again ;
As come bright birds along the Summer skies,
As bloom bright flowers after the summer's
ram
We say farewell, dear friend ; for the.
No sob of ours shall mar the Angel's song;
No tears of ours shall do thy spirit wrong.
Dids t thou not ksow of love s eternity T
Death hath but crowned thee Death has set
thee free I'
Thou art thyself I thyself I freed, great and
strong.
With all the powers which to thy soul belong,
And visions which no earthly eve can see.
We knew thy worth ; we knew thy heart of
gold.
Rich with its treasures of life, manifold;
BiMi with Ita troiuuiiwa nf life maaifold :
Those treasures hidden, hard to seek and find.
We know "He giveth beloved sleep,
A.nd that for them a place has been prepar-
We who with thee our earthly love have
shared.
Know well that Heavenly love thy soul will
keep
Rest, rest loved one. In sweet 'slumber deep,
Th ftWt) of earth is not to he eomnared
With heavenly rest which hath thy spirit
shared
And called thee hence, as shepherd calls his
sheep. J
For thee we know that death bath had no
sting;
No victory the grave, and blest art thou:
Therefore for thee no dirges will we sing.
But love thee ever as we do now."
REFLECTIONS FOR THE EDITOR
OF THE FAYETTE REVIEW.
I have read the Fayette Review
lor several years and have been In
terested in many of the sayings of its
editor. I have read with, pleasure his
denunciations of rotten politics, cor
rupt political bosses- and machines.
But of late their seems-to have been
a change come over him for what he
once condemned to politics he now
praises. It could not be that he has
been given some little political office
for this change of heart. . . -
He has been loud in denouncing the
Republican papers for saying that
Gov. Cox wah building ' a political
machine in Ohio; by creating so many
appointive offices. A short time ago
he was saying there were tA. many
offices and that those who. werr hold
ing them down were getting twice
what it was worth. Now he says it is
alright to ' have these offices and a
lot more.
Another thing that I can not under
stand about the Review Editor is
that he can not see that Gov. Car in
building up a political machine. A
?hort time ago Mr. Turner, the prose
cuting attorney or f ranmin county
notified the State Civil Service Com
mission that the employes in several
departments of state were being as
sessed for political purposes. The
Civil Service Commission, and two of
its three members are . Democrats,
found that during the month of Jan
uary this year more than $5000, had
been collected for' the ' employes in
the state department, the head of
wmcn KjOv. Cox appoints to support
the state Democratic Press Bureau.
Cox appointees paying $5000 a month
to support a press bureau which
furnishes campaign material for all
the Democratic newspapers in the
state. Then we are not sure that this
is the purpose to which this money
was put for the fellows who collect
ed it swear that they turned it over
to W. L. Finley, chairman of the state'
Democratic executive committee. If
creating offices to be filled by ap
pointment by the governor, collect
ing money from these offices and
turning it over to the chairman of the
3tate Democratic committee as ' the
officers swear they did do, is not a
oart of a political machine what is
it? . . ..
But that is not all. It was charged
that the Warnes Tax Law would be
used to aid in building up Gov. Cox'c
political machine and this the editor
of the Review said was a base lie. If
the editor of the Review is right in
saying that the offices appointed
under the Warnes Tax Law are not
being used as a part of the tate
oolitical machine, how can he ernlam
why this same W, L. Finley chair
man of the state Democratic execu
tive committee sent the following let
ter to each of the township assessors
in naron county I ' , -
THE DEMOCRATIC STAtE EXEC
UTIVE COMMITTEE.
Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25, 1914.
Dear Sir: I am handincr von hers.
with two sets of blanks. On one you
are to write or have written the
name and post office address fin a
city, the street ; address) of thirty
(no more, no less) of the heat, nvint.
intellip-ent. most active Democrats in
each precinct in the county assigned
you. On the other blank you are to
wrrte or have written the name- and
post : office address (in a city- the
street address) of twenty (no more.
9 less) fair minded intelligent
Republicans or Bull Moosers.
These lists are to be completed and
-eturned to me not later than March
10th. They are to be carefully ex
ecuted. You are to be responsible
for their correctness. To that end
you must go or send a responsible
party to the county seat of the coun
ty assigned to you where the records
of the board of elections or of the
Democratic County Executive Com
mittee (poll books) are to be consult
ed for names and responsible parties,
uemocratic Chairmen, Democratic
editors, committeemen, etc., conferr
ed with as regards addresses as wel'
as the character and qualifications
cf electors, I want these lists prompt
ly and correctly executed. I am mere
ly suggesting the mode and manner
in which the work may be done. I
want to impress upon you that it can
not be done as a result of a personal
visit to each county and ysu have
been assigned to do, your share of the
worK.
Yours truly,
W. L. FINLEY.
If you doubt the truthfulness of
the above statement as to whom this
letter was sent write to the .editor of
the "Experiment," the only Democra
tic paper published in Huron county.
Norwalk, and satisfy yourself.
And now, Mr. Editor of the Review.
if using Gov. Cox's appointees to do
personal work for the State Democra
tic Executive committee, if creating
thousands of appointive offices and
icdlecting large sums of monev from
at' least a part of them as has been
wwven by their own confessions, and
turning this money over to" the chair
man of Gov. Cox's State campaign
committee is. not building a state poli
tical machine that will rival Tam
many of New York what would you
call it. .
These few reflections are offered
for the Editor of the Fayette Review.
who savs Gov. Cox is not building a
political machine in Ohio.
