FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1927. SUPER GOVERNMENT AT COtUMBUS The recent election brought to the surface in a convincing manner the part that super government haa had in state affairs, It has now been revealed from state records that 0 . 0 , Steven­ son, the dictator of th e Klan, the power behind the throne in Indiana, not so many years ago played his game in Ohio state politics and was a bonded officer in the state prohibition de­ partment under the direction of the present commissioner, B. McDonald, As it well known Stevenson is now serving a life sentence for the murder o f a young girl in tha t state while on one o f his escapades. Stevenson controlled United States Senators, the governor and other state officers as well as high up officers in the city o f Indianapolis. Recent events prove the kind of gov­ ernment the 100 per cent leader has given his state. A t one time Stevenson was a power in the Klan in this state and left a trail o f sensational happenings in Ohio that has nev­ er been made public until'the recent election, Why the Klan head should be an officer in the prohibition department was o f course for no other reason than selling- the Klan vote to the Democratic administration that is now in power. McDonald is an appointee of Donahey and serves by his appointment. The feature of the Stevenson episode in Ohio while'a state prohibi­ tion officer, is that the Klan leader and a party o f friends figur­ ed in a drunken brawl and shooting scrape in a Columbus hotel Columbus police were called to clean nut th e 100 per cent im­ bibers, but for some reason no charges were ever filed and the whole things was smothered. In view of this situation and the connection with the Klan leader, Governor Donahey should in.the name of honest gov­ ernment and decency; demand McDonald’s resignation, even at th is late date, The public should also know whether McDon­ ald is a member of the hooded order dr not. I Where has the Anti Saloon Deague been all this time? The League was quick to denounce . the damp reception tendered Mayor Walker in Columbus, Why has no t the League made public the Stevenson episode? Likewise the famous utility liquor party for'members o f the legislature? Which side of the, prohibition'enforcement question • is the Ohio Anti Saloon League on ? Why keep silent about open violations on the part of public officials, members o f the legislature and the Klan leaders? The League leaders cannot deny ignorance o f what has taken place with the higher' ups. Again' we say that McDonald should resigh Ins position. It is commoh knowledge tha t Certain counties of Democratic lean­ ing have been overlooked by the head of the prohibition depart- 1ment. ,, t . THE EXTRA SESSION QUESTION Gov. Donahey is-hesicant about calling a special session of th e legislature and w e think he is right in feeling that way abount it. He recognizes' the heed of a revision of the election laws and i f he calls th e session tha t will be the purpose of it. The repeal o f the Fence laW, which permits public utility cor­ poration's to take unjust advantage of the public in the matter , o f increased rates, is another subject that requires legislative attention. Rut it is a pretty serious question whether the im­ portant work ahead should be intrusted to the present legis­ lature, especially Since the crashing defeat- of the Marshall bill gives hope o f the election o f a better legislature, less sus-. Ceptible to lobby control, next !time. The present legislature no t only passed the Marshall bill a t the behest of the' Anti- Saloon League lobby but prevented the repeal of the Fence law when the Anti-SaloOn League lobby and the public utilities , lobby joined forces and .so ordered* ' Agitation for the creation of a new inferior court system, to take over th e class of cases which the supreme court o f the United States took awajr from the justices, o f the peace and which the people o f Ohio have just refused in the most em ­ phatic manner to restore to them, is under way and the calling o f an extra session fdr th is purpose is strongly urged in some quarters* There is the gravest,doubt whether any new .courts are needed, whether the existingicoUrts are not amply sufficient to fry the liquor cases with a teasonabie degree of promptitude; The state certainly should notfbesaddled with another expens­ ive court system to support uriless time proves it absolutely necessary, We think Gov* Donahey is right ‘in hesitating about calling an extra'session and aye strongly inclined to hope that he will decide the question in the negative.—State Journal. THE SCHOOL TEACHER ’ In this day of notoriety seeking and the big rewards for sensational days it is a wonder to us that there are any women le ft who are willing to go in for the poorlytpaid job of teaching school. Yet we find among the mad throng that goes milling through life a number o f old teachers, men and women who have passed their whole lives at th e same occupation—making the rudiments o f human knowledge and a few old-fashioned principles of conduct penetrate heads Sometimes harder than th e rocks. They have done it with their whole souls, through­ out the length o f a hard life in which the attention of .others had littlfe place. When they lie in their Unknown graves, no one remembers them'but a few humble people like themselves. But their recompense is-in their love. No one is greater than these unknown. How many hidden virtues may one not discover—-if he knows how to search—among these faithful teachers in our public schools. Here we will find a vast amount of self-sacri­ fice hidden modestly away in so many o f these trury admirable lives, ^Is it nothing to iread over th e path o f dtity, without hope of gam in th e future, without personal ambition, to take upon one s self this heavy cross of life, go hard to bear, to have no other interests than the care o f the children, the directing of their little fe e t in the paths of learning? ; „ w e Should learn to know and value this richness of heart, this ptire goodness, this power to love, to teach, to console, to hope, this joyful giving up o f self, this persistence in sweetness and patience even toward the unworthy, NEED SOME SORT OF REVISION* Evidently our system o fcourt proceedure needs a revision. To a lay man it would be out of pfece to even suggest but there is np.demal that much of our indifference toward courts is due to the manner o f proceedure. * example at this time there is now In progress a trial m theLmemnati courts where a millionaire bootlegger, former druggist and attorney, is on trial for the murdbr of his wife,. There are indications that the defendant] who is pleading his-own case, examining *veniremen, will examine witnesses, will yet endeavor to prove that th e act he committed was in a moment of Insanity. How far'he can get with such a plea is This fact, stands out before the world that a man who murdered his own w ifa although an attorney, can conduct his own cage, endeavor to Trove his own sanity in justifying such an act, or his insanity, has rights and privileges in court that is denied the common mortal who may face murder charges. t h e trial now in progress evidently will not increase the eoa#»en m p e e t f o r oar courts due to i&hn&al procedure!'

YQUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IO—The Prophetic Interpretation of Religion. Mlcah prophesied during the reign of Jothan, Abuz and Hqeekiuh, in Ju­ dah, but his message largely concerned Israel. He .IS c&Ued the prophet of the poor. He proclaimed Impending doom upon the workers of unrighteous­ ness and heralded the coming of the Messiah,, 1. Evil Workers Denounced^ (2:1-3). , J. How they worked (V, 1).' , Their evil work was not o matter of impulse, put of deliberate purpose,-- (1) It was conceived in their mind. They gave themselves to the devising of wicked schemes. (2) They worked evil upon. their beds, They used the quiet hours of the night while honest people. were steeping for planning ways to work out their schemes, (3) They .executed their plans in the morning light.

(3) They oppress a man’ and his house (v. 2);' By house ig menht a man's descend­ ants, the inheritor of bis property. 3. Their punishment (v. 8). Aguftist such evil doers God is de­ vising a righteous retribution which will fall upon them with such weigh! us to humble them. II. Upon Whom judgment Shalt Fall (3:1-12). - \ . 1. The unfaithful rulers (vv. 1-4). , Because of love for the evil and ha­ tred for the good the rulers merciless­ ly destroyed the people. . . 2. The false prophets (vv. 5-S). They served for hire. As ^tong as supplied with food, they propiieslea to please the people. 3. The Judgment which Is to fall (W. fi-12), Jerusalem was destroyed because ol the sins of the people. Jpst as the righteous retribution fell then, we can he assured that there PHI be no es­ cape from tlie coming judgment for those who destroy the people.. Ill* God’s Controversy (6:1-13) . Wicked men may go on to a certain time with their schemes, but eVentnui- ijr tile Lord’s requirements shall be met. ; . " ■ 1. The hills and the mountains culled to bear witness against Israel (v. 2). The people had turned a deaf ear to God bo that Inanimate creation was called upon to witness against them, 2. The guilty party left to state the case (v. 8), The King of the oniverse abdicates His rights and allows His sinning people to make charges against Him. 8. God recounts His mercies unto the people (vv. 4, 5), Having paused for the charge and none, having been brought, the Lord thrust home upon their conscience the memory of His: great mercies. (1) He brought them1out of Egyp­ tian bondage (v. 4). He has done even more for us who were under bondage to sin and Satan. (2) Sent before them# trio of lead­ er* (v. 4). Hoses, the lawgiver; Aaron, the high priest, and Miriam, the prophetess, were sent to bear witness. (8) Turned Balak’a curse’ into » blessing through Balaam (v. 5), 4. God’s requirements (w . 6-13), (1) The great question, "Wherewith ■ball I come before the Lord!” The Jew* could not deny the charge brought against them by tne Almighty (2) The complete answer (v. 8). a. “TO do Justly.” Strict equity was to characterize all their dealings with their fellowmen, b. ”To love mercy.** The heart was to be diligently, set to do good to our fallows. c.
