There has been the most Peasant co-operation between patrons, members o f the faculty ana the students. It has been a year marked with much progress and one that has given the school a new and higher rating accord­ ing to school and college standards. . . . A* There is one regret that comes .with the closing year and that has been the announcement o f the retiring o f Miss Rosa Stormont after forty-one years o f conscientious and faithful service towards the young folks. Words fa ll short on paying tribute to one who has had a wonderful influence over young folks in starting them not only in the proper manner fo r school training but the importance o f character .building. I he in­ fluence o f this Christian instructor will have no end and no doubt he passed from this to future generations. WHERE DOES GAMBLING BEGIN AND END The recent race meet in Louisville where more than 60,000 race horse fans gathered from all parts o f the country and was featured through the press and on the silver screen calls to mind a situation that we may not be making as much progress towards the observance o f gambling laws as we try to make ourselves believe. „ . . , , The race situation in Ohio as well as many states has been the subject o f much debate, in view o f the fa c t that few races, even f o r county fairs, but what are accompanied by more or less betting. The same can be said o f baseball as well as football. No headway can ever be gained to check gambling on our sports until a concerted move is made to reach all, and not just one or two. Very frequently some public official arises to protest a certain form o f gambling, more as a grandstand play then a deep-seated desire to see the same rule applied to all forms o f gambling. „ ’ Now and then we hear o f trusted employees o f firms and corporations going wrong as a result -of this form o f gambling but little do we hear o f the bank institution that has been wrecked by some cashier who has been gambling on the New York- stock market. There are few critics o f this form o f gambling and then only from those who have lost their fortune or their savings that were invested in the wrecked institution. W e never hear a state or national official say that such gamb­ ling. should he surpressed. Public confidence cannot be held by dragging in the small fry that engage in gambling practice. We must start at the top and work down to get results nowadays. THE CLEVELAND DISASTER BRINGS A LESSON ; The great disaster last week in. a clinic hospital where more than one hundred and twenty persons lost their lives as the result o f an explosion from poison gas from films brings to mind what the result o f such gas in warfare has been in the past and what it will be in the future i f we are to ever engage in a major conflict with some other power. ' < ,. It has been said that a few airplanes and plenty o f poison gas will settle the next war. Science has found many new kinds o f gas f o r warfare and the airplane will be used to plant this where it will do the most harm. W e may never see great armies o f men f o r fighting purposes as in past wars. It will be possible to wipe out human life and vegetation with a few planes and plenty o f gas. The old style battleship now is obsolete with the submarine but the airplane is being developed until, it will be the greatest fa c tor in the next war. I t is the greatest p roo f that war should be outlawed between all nations rather than fight again with the new destructive powers that science and invention has given every-nation. , , For the first time in many years ; there will he special services Decora- i tien Day at the .Old Massie’s Creek or j Stevenson cemetery. The D. A .R. has enlisted the aid o f the American Legion in this work and the graves o f 51 veterans will be decorated. In this list are eleven revolutionary soldiers, The cemetery is one o f the oldest in the county,* . It is expected that markers will be erected as fast as they can be secured from the government for not only un­ marked soldier's graves in this ceme­ tery but in the others in the-county. The D, A. R, and American Legion have arranged for a program next Thursday at the Stevenson Cemetery for 11 o’clock. Mr. W, W. Galloway of The Ifagar Straw Board & Paper Company will give the address. T h e . organizations urge that as many persons be present as possible, particularly those who have a direct interest in the cemetery. It is pro­ posed to form an organization o f the lot bwpers and have the cemetery put under better care. The Xenia and Ce- darville township trustees are expect­ ed to aid in this work also. The recent court decision will in time provide a more suitable road en­ trance to the cemetery, the action having been taen by the Xenia-town­ ship trustees. William Raney Died ‘ Tuesday In Alabama Word has been received here o f the death o f Mr. William Raney, 69, at Marion Junction, Alabama, where he resided with several brothers and sisters. The deceased was born on a farm near Cedarvilie and was the son o f the late Samuel Raney. The family has resided in the South for a number of years. ' . , GRANGE MONTHLY ENDORSES TAX CHANGE W e notice by a ,recen t issue o f the "Oh io State Grange Monthly” an editorial endorsing the new proposed tax amend ment .that will be voted upon in Ohio. ' The editorial says the new amendment will do away with the "uniform ” rule o f taxa­ tion and allow the state to have a modern system o f taxation. In view o f the fa c t that the proposed amendment will in a way provide fo r a tax limitation on real estate farmers are urged tq support the amendment. However there is no limita­ tion asto .the amount o f tax than any taxing district can vote on Itself, ■• > This proposition has been voted upon several times but heretofore all farm organizations have, voted the. proposition down. This year the Farm Bureau and Grange are fo r it along with the financial interests and manufacturers. The new idea is to provide a low tax rate fo r money as fixed by the constitu­ tion and a limited tax rate to be fixed, by the legislature on real estate. It might be well to try the change but. there is much edu­ cational work to be done by the Farm Bureau officers as well as Grange organizations before the plan will be sold to farmers. There is good reason fo r the financial interests backing the bill. The farm owners must make up their mind to do their own thinking or fo llow their paid leaders and "le t the tail go with the hide/* « THE SENATORS ARE A BODY TO THEMSELVES W e elect members to the legislature and to both houses o f congress to represent the people but the representation at times is what the senator personally wants, not what his people might desire. W e have a good example o f *he attitude o f the senate at present time on the farm relief debenture plan. While there is no chance o f the bill becoming a law with the House against it, some senators continue to hold out fo r a plan o f financing that will be more disasterous to the farmer than any other class, The senate operates under rules more than one hundred years old. To violate Such a rule on the part o f some member or a governmen. employee means expulsion i f the majority member so will. In the old days when something went wrong or against the desire or pleasure o f the king someone was be­ headed. Now so long ago one o f the big press associations sent out dispatches o f news va lu e r s to how senators had voted in secret on confirmation o f an appointment by the President. This angered many senators in view o f the fa c t they did not want the public to know how they voted, A day or so ago the press association was denied representation in the Senate. The Senator that gave,out the vote violated a rule and can be ex­ pelled as a member o f that body. I f the present Senate does not modernize its rules the time will come when the citizens o f the country will modernise the Senate with new faces. The country has a perfect right to know how each and every member votes on every act up fo r consider­ ation. . * . s F U R N I T U R E REPAIRED and UPHOLSTERED A t Prices In Reach Of Everybody CharlesHHoerner PHONE C*d*rrill* *48 Frederick Hall Died * Tuesday Morning Funeral services were help at the home at 10 o’clock Thursday o f Frederick Hall, 72, years old, who died at his home in Clifton at.9 o’clock Tuesday morning o f a complication of diseases.
