FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1929 DRYING UP WASHINGTON AND CONGRESS Prohibition la undergoing somewhat of a test from a public sentiment standpoint just at this time. However the situation ia no different than it has been in the past, the public now having the opportunity of hearing Borne things that many did not know existed. In the first place Washington, D. C., is as wet or wetter than New York City or Chicago: Second it is a known fact that in proportion to population Congress is likely wetter than the na­ tion at large. It has a larger per cent o f men who vote for dry measures and drink wet. At present two Congressmen are facing charges for violat­ ing the eighteenth amendment in bringing liquor into this coun­ try through ports of entry. Both have been listed as dry. One moderately dry and the other an, Ohioan, bone dry on all measures. Official Washington is far from dry at any time. Dry con­ gressmen attend banquet after banquet with plenty liquor, to be had and. what is worse from the standpoint of prohibition lead­ ers, the true situation has been misrepresented to the public. Foreign legations receive their liquor by the truck load a"nd here congressmen delight to revel at social affairs. No Washington is not dry. Congress is not as dry as you think it is and prohibition is not receiving the moral support from many millions of moderately dry folks because of the sham being practiced by congress and government officials. Certain leaders in reform organizations are well aware of the situation but say nothing. More attention to Washington and less to the hip pocket violator will put more interest behind the prohibition enforcement laws. WE en te r ed t h e w a r t w e l v e y e a r s a g o Saturday, April 6, it will be twelve years since the late Wbodrow Wilson signed the senate joint resolution that official­ ly declared war on Germany. For two years following there was suffering and sacrifice. - The whole world was under going changes, never to return in many instances to the old order. While the young men answered the call of their country that a war for higher ideals might be won, there were profits being taken on the farm, in the factory and the counting house such as was never known before and will never be experienced again by this present generation. ' The war taught :us many new things. Science and inven tion came to the front as we have never witnessed because there had npt been for years the necessity or the field for the inven­ tive mind. Mass production was introduced not to add to pro­ fits of manufacturers but to meet the demand of the government for supplies to be used abroad. Then came the end of the war and the l eaction in industry and finance and the general re- ' trenchment; With the war came prohibition, an issue of fifty years • standing that was finally settled in an official way yet not fully , accepted by the entire citizenship and never will be other than by education of the coming generations. •■. It was the war that resulted in the birth of the American .Legion which celebrated its tenth birthday, March. 15 and 16th last. The Legion was organized for tjie perpetuation of the some lofty ideals in times.ofpeace as their members fought and . bled for in time o f war. Its service will continue to grow and the cause it will defend will never die. Much history has been written since April 6, 1917. I t is predicted that International law will be mote fully respected n the future than it was pre­ vious to tha£ momentous date.- : % Feeding Results On j .Foot T© S i Shown Livestock From Experimental * Pen* .

HERRICK—A NOBLE MAN ^IliHiiluiiinmlilimiiimiiiiuniniiiimiimiiiniiiiiiiiituiiiiiniiiiiimni.................i..... , Outstanding among the many great virtues of heart and mind of Myron T .‘Herrick was his love o f his fellowmen. It was a great, and abiding love, a vast and unfailing well of affection whose waters wore replenished always ■v faster than they were drawn upon, though given without stint. It was this love that gave one o f the most beloved Americans of all time that understand- , ing tact and sympathy which served so admirably in all his contacts with his fellowmen. As a boy, Myron T. Herrick had rubbed shoulders with toil. He knew ■ the problems off the vast army of workers who do their work and go “ un honored and unsung,” after living the ii^es of the common people. As a man, he knew the rich and the great—-the richest and greatest of hingertera- tion. As boy and man, he ever went on, winning friends through his con­ sideration of others, his absolute lack of selfishness and his indefatiguable industry, loyalty and enthusiasm. The life o f America's great ambassador must always be of an inspiration to the poor boys o f the .United States. He has no special privileges, chances and opportunities that he did not himself create, He relied solely upon him­ self and was self-made in every sense of the word. He was the brilliant pro­ duct of ambition in life and of willingness to work patiently and without stint toward the goal he had fixed for himself. He was successful because he earned the success he achieved. He worked hi* way through college. He worked while he studied law. And after he was admitted to the bar, he worked harder than ever. He doubtless would have become one Of the most eminent lawyers of his generation had he remained In the law, but accident took him into another calling. Back of this accident were love and trust In a friend. He had endorsed a note for this friend. The note became due and was paid. Mr. Herrick sacrificed his modest personal fortune at that time, though under no obligation to do so,. as the bank had not complied with legal formalities looking to collection of the note, His honesty won for him a posi­ tion o f trust and responsibility with the institution and started him on the career in business, which was destined to carry him to such great heights. v Herrlqk made money because he was honest and universally trusted and liked. He had the confidence and respect of all with whom he came in contact. Had he cared solely for money, he probably could have achieved any goal fixed for himself, But money to him was only a means to an end, an instrument through which, he could do more good for his fellowmen. It was natural and inevitable, hence, that he should be called into the field of public service. * His political career began more than 40 years ago. It was in 1895 that ha launched his career of public service by winning a seat in the common council of the city o f Cleveland. From this modest post he jumped to the proud position of governor of Ohio. His outstanding ability won the ndmira- tioo of American presidents. Once he refused an appointment as ambassador to Italy, and thrice, under as many American presidents, he declined to be come secretary o f the treasury. Subsequently, he was niade ambassador to France—and then and there the man o f destiny for Franco was created. When the war clouds broke, Ambassador Merrick, for a time, was the Frtnoh nation ift dealing with the foe. The government deserted Paris and th* most prominent French families were fleeing the capital in the threat of fay Ganriany, but the American afrifaass&dor stood liia ground*- Ho gav* new courage to the French by his example and through this act became wajaust beloved official o f another government ever to have served in the Tranen capital, France mourns his. passing ns deeply and sincerely as does s*ft MtiVfl ItHdi The splendid record he made in the trying days of the war he added to . , « h® became the symbol of good will and friendship, A t all Bums and under test, he did the right thing at the right time, whether it Wftft ft draft# to official qu&rt&ta for th$ reproa^ntativo o f tfao Arnsrioan government or welcoming and protecting a hero like Lindbergh, and affectively h# Moved, always doing good, building more wwndahfe America and adding to Its store o f international good will, A splsndld diplomat, a great American and a noble man is lost to this oamirjr ia his pawing. His m work always will be a source o f ceaseless feapirattoa in good iltltonshlp, lofty political service ant! deal, and outstand­ ing Pttbli* sarviea and tttofutaos*. -D ay ton Herald, Greene county in the district educa­ tional contest at Miami University last Saturday, Representatives in this contest were those who won places in Greene and other counties in South-western Ohio.
