THE CSnARVJIXB HKRAU), JANUARY 17 , 1030 . THE CEDARVILLE HERALD KARLH BULL — EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Entered * t the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, at second class matter. FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1030 C IT IZEN S H A V E IM PO R T AN T D U T Y Now that we are to have some form of classification of property for taxation, citizens from all stations, .properly own­ ers as well as non-owners, should give careful consideration to all proposals that are to be considered by the committee re­ cently named by Governor Cooper. The proposed change will vitally effect everyone in the state m some form or another. It should not be passed off with the statement that you can have no say. In the first place you should make known your wants and freely express your self to ^ £ , meni that committee. The decision of the committee oi the whole will go before the next legislature where laws will be passed placing classification in force. The Herald has for some time been convinced that most o f ,our tax proposals should be submitted to the electoi*ate or at least the law read that a referendum can be called. We have the utmost confid nee in the majority of our people in the state to be able to judge whether they want a certain tax or not. As the courts have ruled under the present laws no tax law is sub­ ject to referendum. With tax levies approved by the people and not iorced on them by officials against their desire, we be­ lieve there will be a better feeling towards all branches of government. Tax tinkering each session by the legislature, most of which comes from a desire on the part of special inter­ ests and put through by lobbyists, has soured thousands against state government. M U N IC IP A L G O V E R NM E N T IN RU T Cleveland municipal government\has reached about the lowest stage that is possible and yet function. The city has a combination city manager with ward council control, the mayor being chosen by council fyom its membership. For' six years some progress has been made in freeing the government from grafting politicians and twice elections have beeii held to return to the old federal form of. government but the people refused to do so. • At the election last fall the. Republican boss of the city being angered because several councilmen had been sent to the 'penitentiary for grafting and flection officials penalized for corrupting the elections, set but to capture city council and fire the present manager. As the public was not aware of what boss politics can do and thousands did not go to the polls, the boss won a majority of council and Monday night fired the city manager without even filing charges. Sunday a great mass meeting, attended by several thousand “church people, entered a protest but a boss cax-es little or nothing about what the church element wants. Civic as well as business organizations protested but the boss has the financial backing of a big gas company that-wanted higher rates than the manager thought fair and enough puppets in council after hours of dickering in a nearby hotel were haltered and voted like so many-dumb brutes. ... , , . Cleveland’s predicament is sad but the fault is with the electorate in not having expressed themselves at the polls or at least seen that votes were counted. as cast. The gang in Cincinnati made a second attempt last fall to secure control of the city but failed. Political boss municipal government means a backward step to the days of Boss Tweed. PRESIDENT ’S COMM ISS ION REPORTS ' No doubt you have read the report of President Hoover’ s Commission appointed to investigate the crime wave, prohibi­ tion enforcement and other ailments and report recommenda­ tions for a cure. The report while lengthy covers many im­ portant things and brings before the public the seriausntss of the situation. As to prohibition, press reports indicate that the drys are satisfied with the report and so are the wets. How such could be possible is hard to imagine. After recent charges that reflected more or .less on-Presi­ dent Hoover, we fail to see where .additional responsibility can be placed on the President. Enforcement of such laws cannot be expected of one individual, not even the chief executive of this nation. It is a task first that belongs to Congress in pro­ viding ways and means .tvith authoi'ity delegated to those only who have a consciousness interest in actual enforcement.' As long as Congress.permits enforcement +o be a football with politicians no president will succeed and the eighteenth amend­ ment will- gradually become a joke. • Bring the situation back to the congressional districts, we might mention tliat right at this very hour a former bartender, later a lobbyist for Cincinnati liquor interests, who during re­ cent sessions of the Ohio legislature kept a stock of liquor in a hotel near the state capitol for the use of members, is trying to get control of the congressional situation in-this district. -He expects to operate through a candidate garbed in a mother- hubbard of prohibition texture. With these kind of men in Congress prohibition enforce­ ment can. never be a possibility. The wets are using so-called dry members to create a condition that wilkeveatually become distasteful to the 'public. An open wet candidate should be preferred anytime to a so-called dry under the control of the wet interests. You know where to find the wet but the kind 1 of a dry referred to is the most dangerous to law enforcement. ■,«ra»rar.fr.'"nrii .iMi'M-iwiiM-’iw.ri..; "1 TEA-POT SAVINGS Have you a little cash laid away in your, home or in your pocket?

For Meditation 000000 By LEONARD A . BARRETT THE PERILS OF MASS PRODUCTION Leonard A. Barrett Before a parked car, Johnny, with considerable' pride, called Ills ehum’t attention to a par. tleular rivet. “ See that rivet, my fa­ ther drove that.’1 Johnny was right It was very tmpor. tant that the rivet he made perfectly secure. But the other side of tiu picture never oc­ curred to Johnny’s youthful nilnd. The thriving of that rivet was Johnny’s fa- tln-r’s only respon*. sihllity. Hohr after hour.- .through •the, whole day’s work, for five tlnys* in ..the week, Johnny's father drove that riv. • et; and he will continue to do so un­ til a mechanical device is invented which can do It as well, if not bettei than Johnny’s father. Three perils have developed from mass production. Human labor has become so mechanical that In many cases men have become mere ma­ chines, with the inevitable danger'that monotonous labor may leaVe both mind and heart with -little or no de sire to take advantage of the leisure wilieh the five-day week affords, w a other peril is supplanting man-labor— machines—thus throwing out of em­ ployment many persons who must seek lnbor In less remunerative fields be­ cause their capacity lmd been, limited 't o the performance of one purticulnt act. An equally serious peril Is flit possibility o f an ov.ersiipplied market, The chairman of the Federal Trade Commission In a recent address, sug­ gested that “government price control may he the penalty of industry’s fail­ ure to solve the problem of over-pro­ duction." The man who labors in the -shop, as well as the stockholder, must 'be given a fair return for service rendered, otherwise prosperity Is In serious peril.. Labor is no longer con­ tent with a men' living wage, but de­ mands'a rensonnoie share, of the pros­ per,ty it helps to produce. (©..1929.

GOLDEN TEXT—Repent, for the kingdom of heaven Is at hand, PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Chooses Some Helpers. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jeaua Begins His Ministry, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC—How Jesus Began Hie Ministry. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—The Comprehensive Program Of Jesus. Jesus began His official work as Messiah at Jerusalem where He pre- . sented Himself to the men of the Jew­ ish nation, 1. The'King Hie Own Herald (w . 12- 17), • L Tlie reason for this (v. 12). The news of the Imprisonment of John the Baptist caused Jesus to for­ sake Judea and go Into Galilee. The fate of John was accepted as fore­ shadowing His own. The rejection of •the forerunner meant the rejection of the King, whose advent be proclaimed Because of tblB He withdrew from the metropolis and went to the. remote regions where His work would attract less attention. , 2. To whom the proclamation was made (vv. 13-16). It was to the people at Capernaum In fulfillment - of Isaiah’s prophecy (9 :1,2) . These people were not blessed with such privileges as those in and around Jerusalem. Thus we see that the darkest.and most corrupt of the provinces was. getting the light first In this we see a foreshadowing of the present age, when the gospel of the grace of God Is being preached to the - Gentile^., , ' 3. His message* (v.17). “Repent for the kingdom o f heaven is at hand," This is the samel king­ dom which John the Baptist and the Old Testament- prophets proclaimed, It means the Messianic earth rule of Jesus Christ It Is. for this we pray when we intelligently say, “Thy king­ dom comp." At that time the light will break forth which shall lllnmlne the whole earth. , I t The King Calling to Himself As­ sistants (vv. 18-22). . L His command of authority (vv. 18,19). * He did not endeavor to persuade them, and He did not use arguments but Issued the mandate. To command 1 b the King's prerogative—not to argue or entreat; 2. The' station o f the servants called (vv. 18,21). They were men o f lowly birth and occupation—fishermen. God chooses the foolish things of. this world to confound the Wise and the weak things to confound the things which are Flighty (I Cor. 1:26). 3. They were called to definite service (v. 19), “ I will make you fishers of men.” He had previously called them to-be disciples (John 1 :36-42). He now called them tp service. This call therefore was not the gospel call to sinnera which Is “ believe on me,” ,but the call to service of those who have already heeded His call to disclpleshlp. The qualities which made for good fishers —patience, bravery to face the storm and the night, the perseverance which tolled all night though no fish were caught—would make for good fishers of men, . ) 4. Thelf prompt obedience (vv. 20 . 22 ). They put their trust In Him who called, believing that He was able to supply their needs. There-is no time for delay when the King commands. III. The King’s Triumphant Progress (w . 23-25). r He went the whole round of Galilee, teaching the Scriptures, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of diseases. He did a three­ fold work: 1. Teaching the Scriptures *In the synagogues (v.23). The revelation of God needed to be explained. This Is what He was doing In Nazareth (Luke 4:16-22). Such Is .the primary business o f every minister. 2. Preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom (v, 23), * v ' The King who was present and was , heralding His own mission, was ready to establish His kingdom If they would have been willing to receive Him. 3. Healing all manner of diseases (vv. 23-25). “ Hts fame went throughout all Syria, and they brought unto Him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed *with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and He healed them." What God Has to Tall Ua If we think no more of ourselves than we ought to think, if we seek not our own but others’ welfare, If wo are prepared to take all things as God’s dealings with us, then we may have a chance of catching from time to time what God has to tell us. - Paying Toll to tha Devil He who does evil that-good may come pays a toll to the devil te let him Into- heaven;—J.

Take, for in­ stance, thu happy experience of Mrs. Kate Deardorff, of Linworch, near Co­ lumbus, who says: “ T surely am a sincere friend- o f Konjola after what this wonderful medicine did for me. I was down with rheumatism unable to walk, and the be.' t I Could get from all the medicines I tried was mere temporary relief. But what a difference when Konjola Was put to work. Just four bottles, and I was able to walk as well as any one. Konjola did more than free me from rheumatism, it made me feel better in every way. It is easy for •e to understand why Konjola is the most talked o f medicine in America."
