Something may happen out o f the ordinary that mt&m it hard fo r the public at large to digest At one sit­ ting. They take the easiest dose, the one that sounds the best and treat to luck for results. • *’ ' M the settlement of a certain estate those interested have endeavored to get a settlement with an accounting o f the af­ fairs* which certainly they are entitled too but so fay has been denied. Every avenue has been dosed, by denials that would permit the escape o f the true condition!. Thus far the public 1 has been deceived. Those interested have not been fooled for they know that they have not had turned oyer to them what was legally theirs. • - Court action thus far has availed nothing more than re­ vealing a complicated situation over property that should have been released months and months ago. All the public has heard has been denials-—no proof. - Once more this case has reached court only to add to the * tangled affairs. Some more explaining is due. More denials are necessary. It turns out now that the custodian o f the as­ sets o f this estate is obligated to a bank to the amount o f $3,500 and the note has been renewed nine timed. Tlie only payment made on the loan was just a few days ago—‘$500. It must be so fo r the evidence was not disputed. Those interested have only asked for an accounting and settlement, The longer the 5 case stands the more ft seems to decay. It smells more today] than it did last November, Now is no time fo r friends to break “away, EVery friend should stand up and be counted for the day o f reeokoning is not far away, Some were anxious to sign . their names in public. What is needed most today is names on the dotted line at the bank so that the rightful owners o f prop- ty can have what is due them. . Lets have ho shirking, nor ex2* cuses. More explanation is needed today than three months ago. It topk deception to foo l the public then but recent events' indicate that "it’s all going to come out in the wash ” NEWSM U FROMCOUNTY MELTINGPUT WAS WASHINGTON GREATER THAN LINCOLN? „That Washington was agreater statesmen and American than Abraham Lincoln is the contention made by Clifford Ray- . mond in an article in a recent issue, o f Liberty,, The writer bases his assertion on the fact, that Washington* a man o f ar- ' . istocratic training and background, staked h is1fortunes and life on the establishment of a democratic government; where­ as* as' he points out, a democratic government was the only kind Lincoln ever knew. { "What the American people have now as a nation," the writ­ er points out, "came from the character o f the Virginian whG might have been a loyalist but who founded the American . •ETnion, It was founded by his tenacity, iri spite o f military mis- fortune; by his sense of the close national unity which should . bind the jealous states and didn’t ; by his judgment against ip* ternatipnal sentimentalism; and by his insistence that Ameri­ cana learn that they lived under a government and not above it. " "It is not a strange thing,” .the writer continues, "that maintenance* Intact, o f popularsplai - ' f * Abraham Lincoln was fo r the maintenance, intact* of,a popular government.' It was all he hadbver known. The strange thing' is that Washington was devoted to the ,estahlishmenLoldt He had never seen it, Lincoln’s motive, in government was to save / the Union; Washington’s motive was to.create it*"-, ’ : ; . — Qjdiumbus^iSPatch ' - ,V " ' ‘ S ‘ Judge Marcus Shaup J hm brought suit against Margaret Raymond, Yel­ low Spring* a* attorney few in her suit #ome months ago when tee was dsfcndand in on action filed by Edna Nichols, Snit i* brought for the above amount in Common Pleas Court. % • *PL* . -% William Devoe, 74, died at the home of his daughter.

Wead gave a eluogy on the life of Washington be­ fore members of the Xenia Rotary club at its, .noon luncheon at the Elka’^club Tuesday, He emphasised Washington’s warning ,against en­ tangling alliances with other nations and warned, against the forces that tend, to Aiderminp the constitution; Every American should read and study Washington’s farewell address; he said, .• . , ~- mf„ * «.‘V Frank R. Wright* 57, ’former rest dept of this county* promihent mer­ chant and member of the Rikc-Kum ler Co.,, that city, died .Sunday of heart trouble, He was secretary, and treasurer of the Rike-Kumler Co, anfl had been with that concern for many years. ,He leaves hie widow, one son and two daughters. He was prominent in Republican>,politics in. the county apd for two years has been president of the Montgomery County Republi­ can Association., Dtlraflk Cmne Says OPINIONSARE URE RIPPLES Opinions are like ripples. • How long they last depends upon the surface oa which they appear. The mind o f the individual who holds the opinion is the surface whose character determines its lasting quality. Think over your friends. Some change their opinions con­ tinuous!'*, others with great infrequency. * You have seen man:’ kinds o f ripples—ripples on water, ripples on sand, ripples on ice, and ripple marks in solid lime­ stone. . * All are duplicated In the minds pf men. On water, ripples alter with each succeeding breath; in stone they change only with the orosion of years. . One type o f mind is flu id ; another concrete. The first is plastic but unretentive; the second is retentive but unchanging and indurate. One changes its opinions too frequently; the other not fre­ quently enough. In a general way these two characteristics o f mind repre­ sent two stages-of life. s In youth the tendency is.t ochange our opinions too often, / In old age the tendency is to change them too seldom. Youth is a time for ripples on Water. It is a time for alter­ nating, changing open-mindednesS; for a sort o f sparrow-like hopping from one idea to another. ' Opinions are formed, destroyed and reformed with little effort. V Old age is a time when the ripples o f opinion seem marked in stone. . ‘ . . . . They are fixed. They alter only long erosion by contrary evidence. Both attitudes are off balance, One leans too far forward, the other top far back. Between the two extremes is the hap­ py mean: ’ ■*. Of the two" attitudes the ope that can be most controlled |s that o f solidity; Little can be done to change the attitude o f the youth, and it has time to steady down anyway, • But open-mindedness is a habit that can be cultivated, "A new truth is a truth and. an old error is an error,” is a gopd motto for advancing years. y»*r t? ' p •* THE HONEST B&Y QBE3R0ft 4*&*%*? •ft.*’ Honest boys are growing scarce, and may become as,ol%olete as, side whiskers, according to some p essiniists’^hb deplore the errors o f .modern youth. , \ J ' ' ' ' Those well acquainted With the boys do not seem to think so, Thera Is Cameron Beck, for instance, personnel director, o f the New York stock exchange, who should know.; He.s&id in a recent address' that the present generation o f boys is the fin­ est in history, and exceptionally honest; Of course there are all those smart youth who get but with guns and take our money away on dark streets. Many o f them, are half wits, unable to comprehend that jails and prisons are not considered desirable as permanent boarding places. Their number is far too large, yet hi proportion to the total boy pop­ ulation it is rather trifling. The average boy is as honest now as formerly. There is no more reason to worry,now than thirty years ago. ; •MAKES A DENIAL W If Mr. Editort- I have been informed by friend* that the new* is being circulated that I have been caught boot-legging and Would like for you to publish thatthis is not-true and never will be and, I will thank the person Or persons who *aw tiff* ift any paper to^ptease send mie the cepy it was in. W„ A. CORNE, Rfd I. South‘Vienna O. • • * # * ■ AS TO THE RELIEF BILL To the Editor of the Herald: There i* no paper that Xread,that has an editorial uolnrtm I enjoy more than the Herald. While I may hot al­ ways agree with your view* I find something interesting and in the main I endorse your stand on public question*. Jtread ift your last issue what you had to eay shout farm relief and the bill just passed by Congress. In your editorial, which was general in nature yvu do not indicate how you stand, For ode Farmer 1 approve of the HR hoi because Mr, Brand is for it nor because Senators Fees and Willis opposed it President Coolidge may veto the measure, if so he must tike the consequences. The farmers have a* much right for a subsidy as have the railroads. Right how there is » HR up in Congress for a $125,060,- 000 dam for the Colorado river that i* being pushed by selfish interests to preside flood protection, so they say* to provide eheap power and an abun­ dant water supply for Los Angeles h d southern California. All o f this at the expense of the tax payers. The farmer 1* net to benefit in this great expenditure but must help pay the HU.

Again in Pennsylvania. We all get excited about flouting the con ititation in regard to the Eighteenth amendment but for some-reason the whole constitution is a scrap of paper when the big interests want protec­ tion and profit*. And, I do not say this favoring a let up on liquor laW* en­ forcement. I object to the wagon rid ing on only one or two wheels. All four should be on the road to make the return trip safe. ,For this reason the farmer that is not behind the farm relief bill, that he 'May have the use of public money the same as other interests, he lx only- standing in hi* own light. These in forests' do not 'want protection for farmer. They want no money tied tip for the farmer because- these same in­ terests may have use for it. s, With the courts guaranteeing site returns in fixing utility rates, we are entitled to the same. The farmers of the United States have billions more at stake than have the utilities. The utility companies can Have one valuation for rate fixing and another for taxation purpose*. Mr. Farmer only has one valuation and they con­ tinue to soak him year after year. The farmers claim Control of the Ohio legislature.’ That being the case the Ohio situation must be laid at the farmer’s door. The worst trouble is that the farmer has bedn asleep or merely doing what he has hern told’ to do instead o f thinking for himself. Farm relief may be an experiment. If it is Worked on the same basis as the railroads ahd utilities it will prove successful, for their plan has guaraatewl them * profit.
