Wfe are passing through dreadful times; Never has the world seen more terrible. The aWful “world war” has reached its unhallowed hand into multiplied thousands of our homes and has claim ed the very best of Our manhood and womanhood. The very thot of this should have brought us to our knees in supplica­ tion before our Lord God. Has . it ? Answer the question for yourself. And now the land is being swept by a terrible pestilence, what homes 3hall escape its remorseless ravages no one can know. In. the midst of all this terrible anguish, pain and sorrow we should be driven nearer our God, pur church and our followman.- In­ stead of this however we are depriv­ ed the comfort afforded by the church the companionship and sympathy of friends, Possibly there are some Who even are forgetting their Lord. Is it possible that God'is compelled to nse these .measures to help us to re­ member Him? Let us hot forget to honor the Lord's '’day In our homes, and in: some way make i t different from the other days. I t Would.be a great loss did not the prayers of God’s people go up on that day for the help of God against the mighty, * , These; churchless Sabbaths ought to see neglected family alters re-erected in our homes. . What w ill. be the extent of the harm done our children if they dis­ cover that all religiuos worship can. besuspended by a decree of a board of health? They will Ipse their regard for the reality of the Lord's day and Christian worship, Hold some kind of a-JIOME SER­ VICE a t the regularhour or some other convenient time of the day. Let us make our humble confession to Almighty God' and ask His help in this, our day of trouble. Jos, W. Patton, Secretary Ministerial Association. Cedarvilie, Ohio.

Most everyone has noticed the small campaign' picture of Frank B« Willis, without stretched arm as jf he was making a jesture In a campaign speech. Well that is just what he was doing when that picture was taken two years ago. I t was a kodak view taken by Miss Eleanor Johnson, when Mr. Willis was speaking from an auto in front of the opera house in his previous campaign. Mr. Andrew Jackson sent the kodak view to Mr Willis and it was enlarged for cam­ paign purposes. When Ohio’s next governor was here:Tuesday her*made inquiry concerning the picture, The Martha Ervin property which was advertised to sell a t the court house last Saturday, did not sell, and an order from the court has been granted to sell on Nov, 30. I t is ap­ praised a t $2,400. Cedarvilie for many years support­ ed two hotels but war time conditions has made it almost impossible under the present food regulations and prices to make such an institution very paying investment in towns of this size.

ANOTHEfi VISIT Headed by Kenneth Williamson, secretary of the executive committee of Greene county, a delegation of Greene County Republicans passed through Cedarvilie Tuesday afternoon escorting Frank B. Willis on a quiet hand-shaking tour through the state. During hia stay Governor Willis shook hahds with many friends and admirers. He explained’ that he had hoped to make a speaking tour of this part of the state, but since public meetings are considered inadvisable, 5 he would simply make a few remarks, 3 asking the Herald to print his mes- js sage from the following statement*, s “Mohday, I noticed that Democratic 5 Secretary^ of the Treasury McAUoo, £ Democratic General of the Railroads “ of the U. S. found it necessary to’ come into Ohio to inspect railroad •terminals and give out statements advising the people to vote the Dem­ ocratic ticket, and it occured to me that there might he a few Republican terminals in the State that needed in­ spection this week. Not having a Dem­ ocratic Natoinal administration hack of us, we can not travel in special trains,they being the prerogative of Democrats. fiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiKifiiiiiiiiiiRiiiiffiiifiiiffiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiMtiiiiifiiiiiijtiiifiiimifiiftf main Have the" farmers an voters are enough inte a full vote.

Last year the drys'. m ile wo»d#fcful gains in the cities, but dost by dfily 1,137 votes, because tba rural firy - vote did hot come out. But the farm­ ers are stirred tjiis y ea f^ They be­ lieve the liquor’' traffic The' fact that it flnancei oub German American, it destroys manpower and that it wastes fuel the government hi t b e ^ disJojfoli yar, has aroused, the other •classes of citizens, tuid tb*y are hot on fta trail. Then, too, the action of the gov­ ernment in Us.restrictions and pro­ hibitions lias focussed'the attention of the jyotors on the iniquity of the trafllo and they believe it to. be as much their duty to vote it to death as for the allies, to shoot to death German autocracy. ’ A wave of indignation against the traffic has been sweeping over the state recently because of the influ­ enza. The liquor men have attempt­ ed to capitalize the epidemic by starting rumors that whisky was be­ ing used by the car load at Camp Sherman to combat it, The ’camp adjutant buret this bubble in a state­ ment which said liquor is not being used, although it was offered, liquor dealers have cards in saloon windows saying whisky is a cur* for the mal­ ady, ahd that pliyaiclana are pre­ scribing it. This is refated by health officers in Cincinnati, Colum­ bus and other places, who warn the .people not to use liquor a* a cure. The voters believe that a traffic which seeks to take advantage of an epidemic to make money and by so doing, endanger the lives of people, should not be permitted to exist. An argument in favor of Ohio vot­ ing dry which wets can not meet and which destroys every claim made by the liquor men is that 28 states are now dry and the people of these states are so pleased with the oper­ ation of prohibition that they will not permit the saloon to come back, This fact proves the fallacy of the tax and revenue arguments of the wets and answers every reason ad­ vanced by them why Ohio should vote .wet. In short, 28 states are proving that prohibition is beneficial, and if it benefits these etates It will benefit Ohio, The wets o f Ohio are relying on money to keep the state wet. Never before have they been *o devoid of argument. All the claims made against prohibition in former yeas* .have been discarded, because they have been exploded. They are spend lug their money for the one purpose of trying to keep In business. The observation seems Well based, that the drys will win next Tuesday if the rural counties will get, out their tote, The ’dry Voter who re mains away from the polls will be to blame if the drys lose, and the farmer, like the city man, believes It is patriotic to vote dry this year, Thanks to the good roads built during the last Republican state ad­ ministration, which in two cyars con­ structed -more roads in the state than in any equal period, of time before or since, and a t a reduced overhead ex­ pense of $5,000 per month in the high* way department. I t is pleasant and convenient to travel by automobile. f The Republicans of Ohio have a sence of relief since President Wil­ son by his recent proclamation has reconvened politics. From all points of the state, word is coming that sin­ cere, patriotic, red-blooded Ameri­ cans resent the imputation that they cannot Vote the Republican ticket without being traitors. Republicans everywhere are as interested in the Winning o fthe war as are Democrats,' We cannot say enough in praise ofthe glorious work ofthe brave American boys under General Pershing. The ra- pibity and the brilliancy of our suc­ cess must make us consider very, ser­ iously one of the state issues involved m this campaign. I t Is the proposed amendmentto the constitution which ropifires a Republican legislature com­ puted to the ratification ,of a dry amendment. Do not be deceived .by, the- Democratic talk, that Congress has taken care of the matter. There 13no such thing as War-time prohi­ bition. A t the present moment it looks as htough the war would he ovey before the proposed amendment for. the elimination of the . liquor traffic would be acted by Congress, but even that is held up by committee. I t is one of the Wet Democratic tricks ’-calculated to make the Dry* less ae tivea- - • -r party Dry aissue. “The Democratic state platform-, is absolutely silent on the dry issue''and upon every other state isue. It third-term candidate has steadfastly refused to commit himself on this question. Sometime' ago, he stated that he would clear up the matter the primaries. I hope th a t as I travel over the state, I may discover some­ one to whom the Governor has whis­ pered his conviction. Persons who seek third terms in violation of all Democratic policies should a t least have courage to state their convic­ tions. .There will be no third terms in the office of Governor of Ohio, The people of Greene county should deem it a rare privilege to support .as splendid an American and capable a representative as „ S. D, Fess. As a Congresman from the 7th district,' it 13 an honor to the district and to the state of Ohio.. I also hope that special attention will be given to county elections as well as state. If I am elected governor, J am partic- urialy anxious th a t there be an as­ sembly th a t will work in harmony with the constructive program of the administration* Mr, Andrew Jackson introduced the Republican Candidate to the local crowd that had gathered in front Of the opera house.
