ELECTION RESULTS WERE NO SURPRISE The result* -of the election were Jta surprise to those who had their hand on the public pulse. To those who were guided solely by their own belief, not wanting to make a survey of even their own community on the justice bill, the result was of course staggering. The charge early in the campaign that the contest was only a wet and dry one, seems to have meant nothing to the great majority of citizens, who after considering the contradicting statement# from proponents of the measure, decided for them* selves without advice from a real or fanciful organization that might have sprang up to help educate the voter. Continued charges that the issue was of wet and dry im­ portance only had a tendency to inflame many voters who op­ enly or under cover, protested such ‘a charge. Thousands of the leading citizens, of the state,-the men apd women held to their personal views, that they should not be made a victim for the profit that might be collected by the highway courts. Stinging charges by Anti Saloon League speakers that opponents of the bill were wet or bootleggers* only sqlidified sentiment against the bill. Each time such a statement was made turned hew converts to the opposition. The drift to the negative side was apparant following almost' every meeting. There is nothing in the election result to give any comfort to the radical wet. The vote was simply a protest against what was a cleverly designed act to circumvent the recent decision of the highest court. I t was a makeshift pure and simple and only by resorting to the wildest claims of what the bill would or would not dp* could the attention of the public be held. Ohio has never yet witnessed as much misinformation spread about a measure up for referendum as the bill just defeated. The pub­ lic. would not be deceived. The motorist was convinced that it was dangerous legislation and in most instances every, motorist stood ready to register his or her protest. If the Anti 1 Saledn. League has lost prestage due to the pos­ ition it took on this bill it has no one to blame but its own lead­ ers, who made every, effort to blind the voter. Shores and scores of times* have we heard from 1 pur- leading citizens ;the protest of using the churches for-the discussion,jof what was then claim­ ed, and what is now eonceeded, .to be purely a political and an economic question. The Anti Sajoon League as now constituted is not the organization of ten years ago and-in the future it will without, doubt prove much harder for this ■organization to in­ terest church people unless it is clearly shown, that the "question involves a moral principle. The deception resorted to 6 n this bill was without question Uncalled fo r ., Thq ' automobile clubs made no claim during the campaign that was not put forth in the legislature but a lobby of utility interests to get what it wanted aided in jamming the bill through on a trade basis and denying the representatives of the motorists, even a chance to . protest the bill on the floor: The electors have only put over wh&t the legislature refused to-permit—A PROTEST, TODAY— ARMISTICE DAY Today is Armistice,Day^ a.day set. aside as the result of the .World War Conflict, in the observance of Peace.

On this day we should pause and give a moment’s thought to the 31>000 American graves on European soil. The memory of these be .j whp lie how on the scene' of. the great conflict should be refreshed* * It was a fitting tribute to these heroes of the great war that the American Legion would meet on French soil this year and do honor such as an American can typify to her .vanquished sons. ■ ' Wars of the past have been for material gain but these generations with us how will probably never see such a con­ test and it is the hbpe and prayer of the oncoming generations that history will never again record such a war. THE J 0Y OF GOOD READING The reading of good books in this busy day seems to be a lost aft,with many people. There is so much in the newspapers and,magazines of the sloppy order dealing with the suggestive fiction, that younger readers are not taking to reading'good books: • j. Among the great flood of books today, men, especially young men, must choose with care. If they saturate their minds with the idle, worthless, the better books are lost to them; and every good book has a lesson, a chapter from life. * Good hooks are introductions to the minds of the greatest men* Association, with greater minds raises our own thought contact, as a needle becomes magnetized by rubbing it against a steel magnet. It is not a mere absorption of print, a great a- mount of reading, it is w.hatyou read and what you get out of it. The intellectual system of most of us nowadays needs a lit­ tle renovation and cleaning. Start in now with a good book, It may teach you to appreciate things in other places and other people tha t you never noticed before. The long, winter evenings lie just ahead. Devote less of those evening hours to the newspapers and magazines and take up a serious coursh in reading. You will be surprised to find how quickly your mind will glide into a taste for better reading and how much of the real, true beauty of literature you have missed While wasting your time on trash, SENATOR BENDER SHOULD CARRY ON Regardless of the fact that the election is over Senator Geo. Bender, who lead the"“fight against the deceased justice bill in this state should carry on the work he has started. The Sena­ tor has the confidence of the great majority of Ohioans who be­ lieve in that spirit of fair play that even a member of the legis­ lature should have full and open Opportunity to express his views in the committee or on the floor in support of his own or the measure that might have been introduced by another mem­ ber, Such was not the case during the last legislature with the lobby element in absolute control of bofh houses and directing what bills should be considered and be permitted to reach the floor for a vote.' We have just experienced such a situation and the vote recorded Tuesday is a Vote of confidence in Senator Bender, Sepator Herbert and Attorney General Edward Tur­ ner, who rnpre than once went to bat with the lobby element in the manner in which legislation was being handled. . There have been many things uncovered by the bitter feel­ ing brought out over the justice bill. Some very, serious charges have been made as to the conduefc^of members and the manner in which the prohibition department has been operated. The Attorney General and Senate leader* should press for an inves­ tigation,' „The public has a perfect right to know the truth and dissatisfaction exists in the _ ^ . . _ . and The investigation should be called a t once.
