The news dispatches tell tia that a referendum election is to be asked for on the Marshall justice o f peace salary bill pas­ sed by. the legislature. W e fail to see what will be accomplish­ ed by such? If the electors-approve the bill it would not make the law conform to the decision o f Justice Taft? If it should fail of approval by the electors, and certainly there are enough temperance and law abiding automobile owners that have been held up by commercialized courts in Ohio to defeat it, we will be just where we are today. The Anti Saloon League claims the law is necessary. The Attorney General says we have sufficient courts now to care for liquor, law violations; State Prohibition Commissioner McDon­ ald says the same. Why then the wayside commercialized court manned with some foreigner or some unscrupulous graft collector? The United States government is at present convict­ ing officials in a neighboring county for the illegal practice em­ ployed. Monday one justice of peace and one constable plead guilty, Two other constables are yet to be tried. The situation is the same in many other counties in the state. Not so long ago *& commercialized constable took up an automobile driver. In a few days a commercalized justice of peace sent a notice to appear or send $10, A check for that amount was sent. In the course of a few weeks .ne notice sent by the grafting justice o f peace was turned over to a stqte examiner. The squire’s books failed to show such a case had eyen been docketed. The grafting justice promptly returned the automobile owner' h?s $10. Automobile clubs have been fighting this sort of thing for many months and now the Anti Saloon. League wants to make it certain that such courts can exist irt the name of law enforce­ ment. The League approved of the practice until the Supreme Court said otherwise; then a League official made' the feeble excuse that there always hacf been some question about the law and half heartedly approved the Taft decision. > There is every ground to question the League’s position on the law passed. It still provides for the same kind of graft with a limit of $250 monthly, or $3,000 a year salary, from the fees collected through the county tr ea s te . The average salary Hvith the grafting justice of peace under the old law according; to a State’ examiner,was: around -$5,000, to say nothing of the cases that were never docketed, mainly those of automobilists who put up $ i0 to $25 bond and never appeared. Two years ago when the utility lobby- celebrated the vic­ tory of Donahey’s defeat in the Senate'turning down his nomi­ nations for the utility commission, Greene County’s Scofflaw Senator, L. T, Marshall, was not only present but an honored guest at that famous liquor party in a Columbus hotel. The League seemed unconcerned,,at least we never „heard of any protest from that quarter. The relationship of the League pol­ iticians with the utility interests is causing no small amount of comment over the state. Ohio utility .consumers don’t care to - be soaked with excessive rates to get reform measures through the legislature/ When the hifetory o f the Ohio lobby is written then will the1public at-large understand why and for what pur­ pose some things are done. One thing is certain-crates are continually mounting and the! public is learning how dry mem-, bers of the legislature are so friendly to the utility interests. The League’s position on the justice fee bill ,1s about as con­ sistent as would be a denial that the utility lobby does not select approved dry candidates for- the legislature, especially the Ohio Senate. , , WHERE DOES 100 PER CENT BEGIN ? Should a ‘ ’Hundred Per Center” be one hundred per cefit with “Hundred Per Centers” ? That question' arises from a situation that exists in this county a f this time. The public schools have long been sought' by an organization that boasts in­ terns of per centagel What took place in one school district in' in Greerie county just recently only proves that perfection by the percentage route does notfhold good even among those that preach such doctrine. ” The state law provides that pupils- having reached a cer­ tain grade, cannot go. on until an examination is taken, the questions being prepared in Columbus by the st$te department. W e are informed that pne of these “ 100 Percenters” a teacher, in another township, went to a nearby county and secured a list o f these questions and spent the day drilling his class on the very questions the pupils were to be examined upon the next day. As a result all passed and some mith 100% grades. The courious part o f such a trick is that children from families in an adjoining district in the same township, did not have the ad­ vantage of such underhanded work, and of course could not show perfection grades. A s a result friction has arisen even among those who follow the imaginary powers from the grand draggon down to the little feliow that fires the cross and is the chamber-maid at the temple. The spirit of fair-play and square dealing seems to have no place with the powers.that guide the destinies of the “ One Hundred Per Centers.’ * But such aatrick as this white-robed teacher pulled is not to be’ oyerlooked. Information has been gathered and placed in the hands of the state department. As a prediction this teacher will not teach next yOar in the Greene cotmty schools, and there is a possibility that the territory may be enlarged and the state included, , * FINANCIAL PROGRAM A MAKE-SHIFT 3 It was very- unfortunate that Governor Donahey found it necessary to veto that part of the appropriation bill that pro­ vided for the operation of the'State Library. This veto&will be the means of closing that institution after the first of July. The fact that the legislature did not appropriate sufficient funds is another of the many blunders of the law making body. Regard- leas o f the fact that more money was appropriated and extra taxes placed on the people, many things were provided for that could have waited, With the Governor it was a case of cutting out many things and the library wa*one of them. The time is here when the cost of government must be cut not only ih one place but an down the line, '■ Two years ago tjie legislature sought to tie the officials in counties, townships school districts and municipalities. The cry went up from the legislature that these bodies were wasting public funds and would break the state. For many months we have been hearing that the state is broke and that additional taxes were necessary to care for a huge deficit. Regardless of the deficit, and increased taxes, we are told that the law mate* mg body did not provide for enough funds to. meet the approp­ riations and before that body meets again another deficit will be created. From such a situation the public can expect more taxes for the pro tent financial program is nothing but a make- shif program, Tnat kind of a charge comes from the Ohio Far­ mer, ' SOUTH CHARLESTON FAILS ON RED CROSS CALL The manner in which some communities welcome a call for aid through the Red Cross is almost beyond understanding. For instance our neighboring town of South Charleston has failed to open its purse to the unfortunate in the flooded districts of the South if we read correctly an editorial in the Sentinel, regretting that Charleston people had not “ come across” , At the time the editorial was written the Sentinel says but seven people had made subscriptions after the call had been made ten day* previous. This dots not reflect to'the honor and glory of our neighbors to the east for we well know that the community has resources that should enable the people to meet the FARMER FINED FOR” MAKING HOME BREW Charles H, Beatty, farmer, living near Clifton, plead guilty to a charge o f posweaifing liquor and wag fined $400. and coats and committed to the Dayton work house until tile fine and costs are paid, by Judge Wright in Probate Cc urt, Saturday. Beatty resided with his brother-in- law, ’Keaton, but the latter is said to have had.nothing to do with the un­ lawful goods Fifty pints o f home brew and one half gallon o f wine, was taken in qharge by Kenneth C, Barr, road patrolman ,and Frank C, Roney, a state detective, Who hea been working in the county on liquor cases.

Peter Healing Die Lame Min (Acts 3:1-10). 1. The place (vv. 1, 2). Peter and John were ou their why to the house ot worship. This man had been placed at the entrance of the place ef worship where he might re­ ceive the sympathetic attention of worshipers. 2. The man <v. 2). . * This beggar was Infirm from his birth. He was now more than forty, years old (4:22) and had brought his ailment with him Into the world. When he saw Peter and John he asked alms. 3. The method (vv. S-S), (1) The man’s attention gained (v. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them. (2) Peter commanded him in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise and walk (v. G). (3) Peter took 1dm b y . the right hand (v. 7), Tlds was meant to give Impetus to his fail'll—not strength to Ids ankles. 4. Tiie man’s response (v. 8). Strength came to his feet and ankle- hones at once. He stood, he walked, he leaped and shouted praises to God. 5. The effect (yv. 9-11). The people were so filled with won­ der and amazement that they ran to-, gether to behold this wonderful thing. Vote:. (1) This helpless beggar had to be carried to the temple gate. Men and women out o f Christ are so helpless that they need to be brought where the light of God can he applied to them. f (2) Peter taking the man by the hand show's the manner o f helping the lost tl. Peter Witnessing Before the Multitude (2:12-20). Though this miracle directed the attention' of the people to Peter and John, Peter immediately, turned their attention from himself to Christ He told them that it was faith in .Tesus Christ whom God had glorified and whom they had deliberately betrayed and crhclfied that had healed this man, , - > HI. Peter in Prison for Christ’s Sake (4il-4), It was bis, fidelity to Christ-that brought Mm this persecution. Observe: 1. The leaders—priests and Snddu- cees—in this persecution (vv., 1, 2), ‘ The priests were intolerant because these new teachers were encroaching upon their functions.' 2 . The result ( w ‘ 3 , 4 ).. Though they were held In bondage by chains, Christ continued to work. The uurnber of believers had greatly increased, IV. Petsr Witnessing Before the Sanhedrin (4 :5-21). 1. The Inquiry (vv, 5-7), This inquiry admitted the reality of the miracle. They* wanted to know what it signified. 2. Peter's answer (vv. 8-12), Being filled with the Holy Splrlf, Peter calmly and graciously answered, fie showed them that they were not on trial ns evildoers but for doing good to the helpless and nefedy man. Since they could not deny the miracle he boldly declared that it had been' done in the name o f Jesus Christ whom they had crucified and God had raised from the dead. 3. The Impression upon the Sanhe­ drin (vv. 13*22), (1) They man-tied (vv, 1-13), They saw that Peter's behavior nnd words were as unusnal as the miracle. (2) They took knowledge that Peter and John had been with Jesus (v. 13). (3) They forbade them to speak in Christ’s name (v. 18), ' (4) Peter and John’s reply (vv. 19,20). * They expressed their determination to obey God rather than men. (5) Their release (v. 2t}» Seeing the people were on their side, there was no way to punish them, V. The Church at Prayer (vv. 23*31). As soon us Peter and John were set free, they hastened away to their fel­ low disciples and told them their ex­ perience.
