J. Maurice Ridge, Making Good in
New Field Where He Takes
Stand for Reform.
The Western Publisher issued by
A. N". Kellogg Newspaper company,
prints the following of a well known
Warren County boy:
J Maurice Ridge, manager of the
Tip;> Printing-Publishing Company
publishers Of the Herald, at Tippe-
cant^e City, Ohio, although barely
25 years old, has the honor of being
the only editor who came out open
ly snd vigorously to fight the com-
bintd liquor interests of Miami
county, when the first waxed warm
lust November, although there are
thrte dailies published in the county.
The county organization designated
his paper as their official organ and
placed him on the staff of stump
speakers for the county campaign.
He Is a good thinker, clear speaker
and a convincing writer.
No question of moral reform
conns up but Mr. Ridge champions
it fiom its incipiency, and does not
wai: for the band wagon. This
maiked characteristic has won for
him an enviable position among his
acq-iaintances and friends in south
ern Dhio.
Although he is young he takes
quib an active part in politics, and
is widely known in political circles
in louthern Ohio. He hails origi-
iially, from the''hills of old pre-his-
torc Fort Ancient, about five miles
eas of Lebanon, Warren county
Ohfe). This was the old home of
Toil Corwin, George R. Sage, Dur-
biniWard, Jeremiah Morrow, and a
sco;e more great men. He is also
a pitive of the same congressional
district of John and William T.
Sheonan, Gen. U. S. Grant, Sena

took part in these exercises are not
recorded in the minutes.
Many of the questions discussed
were on live issues of the times and
often awakened much interest.
On Monday evening, March 7,
1836, after an animated discussion,
a resolution that senators are not
bound to obey instructions by state
legislatures was adopted by a vote
of 20 to 6. John Probasco who
had spoken against the resolution,
moved "that black lines be run
thru, around, under, across and over
the resolution adopted and that the
whole thereof be expunged," but
no vote seems to have taken on his
motion.
Library.
The institute was. probably in
possession of the remnants of the
books collected by the old Lebanon
Library Society-chartered in 1811
as well as of those donated by citi
zens of Lebanon. Some reviews
were taken. The library was
doubtless small and seems to have
been kept in the office or shop of
some member. A librarian was
elected every year. ^
In the winter of 1835-36 the puri
chase of a large encyclopedia waa
under consideration. Thomas Cor
win in a letter from Washington
wrote that tbe Edinburgh Encyclo
pedia could be bought for $50. Thi^
work was in 18 volumes, edited by
Sir David Brewster, and an improv
ed edition had been published at
Philadelphia in 1832. The insti
tute decided to purchase the work
and assessed a tax of 75 cents on
each member for the purpose. THe
work, however, does not seem to
have been secured; at least it was
not in the institute library in later
years.
The cost of Rees's Cydopediia
was reported to be $100. This was
the most extensive work of tbe
kind in the English language. A
republication of the work at Phila
delphia had been unsuccessful aiod
was disposed of by lottery. On
March 3, 1836 the institute resolved
to purchase Rees's Cyclopedia
(unbound) with book case from Mr.
Satterthwaite for $77.00. On April
25, the sum of $80 of subscripticms
for the work was reported colleched.
The cyclopedia was afterward bound
in 41 volumes and is now in ithe
Lebanon Public Library.
In October 1835 the Lebanon
Literary Society, which seems to
have had a library, was,merged iotb
the institute. In 1837 a committee
reported 40 novels and 50 periodicals
in the library which could be
spared and which should be sold,
and the report was adopted.
In 1837 the institute was char'ter-
ed by the legislature and a i lew
minute book was secured. The last
meeting recorded in the book re
cently found was held on May 19,
1837.
