* TSUECKMXV 1 LDC HERALD, APRIL U, WtfO. KARLH BULL * - £utear*d at the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 81,1887, M second class matter. FRIDAY, APRIL 11,1980 T H E C B D A R V I L L E H E R A L D ; — ^ EDITOR AND P U B U S H B M ^ th ^ tS r tw q a which had become a rout before the soldiera Rot bach to Boston. §p it waa April 19,1775 which really marked the beginning o f the history o f the United State# as a nation. This April is the sixty-fifth anniversary o f the ending o f the Civil war by the surrender o f General Lee at Appomattox, and the sixty-fifth anniversary o f the assasrinatoin of president Lin-1 coin in Ford*# theatre at Washington. It was on April 9 that Lee surrendered to Grant at Appom­ attox, and this date lacked three day# o f bring four year# from the date when the Civil war began. President Lincoln, was assassinated on the fourteenth day o f the same month and grief succeeded the rejoicing that had come with the end o f the war. Since that date April ha# brought us two more wars, the Spanish-Ameriean struggle which commenced April 19, 1898, and our war with Germany which began April 2,3917, GREENE COUNTY STARTS A NEW RECORD Since the first of the year, Greene County has recorded five deaths from motor ear accidents, a very unusual record com­ pared with the past few years. Other counties in the state have a much greater mortality list but of course the auto­ mobile population is greater. It surely brings to’the surface the pfesent value of a human life on the part of the people. The loss of human life in the nation last year by motor car accidents made the wars of years gone by minor affairs. Some-blame the craze for speed responsible. Others blame liquor in most cases while wrecklessness must not be overlooked. Everyone seems to be In a hurry and no where to go either. How to slow up a nation o f motor cars is going to be a great problem. • ' CLEAN u p , p a in t UP a n d w h y What do each one of us owe our community? Is it sufficient that we should'pay our taxes and be law abiding citizens? Have we not additional responsibility from a civic standpoint? We -want improved streets in our towns and cities, good roads in the country. We desire fire protection for our homes and busi­ ness houses and want water-works. We want sewerage advant­ age for improved health conditions. But what of a street that •has all of these advantages and the property is neglected and in a run-down condition? We may clean-up about our property but why is it not as important to paint-up? In coing this you are protecting your own investment for the future and doing your part ip making your street attractive, Neglect o f proper painting is harmful to the property and only tends to keep down the actual value of it as well as forcing-down the value of neigh­ boring property. Not only clean-up this spring but paint-up. MOTORISTS SHOULD BE INTERESTED - When we address something towards motorists we take in * the largest per centage of the citizenship not only locally but , in the state as well. Do you know that if you are driving on a •road in Ohio and happen to pick up a friend or if you invite your neighbor to take a ride in your motor car and you- have an accident that would bring injury to the one,you befriend, or the one you invite as your guest, that you are legally responsible and can be held for-damages? This should hot be the case in Ohio, but it is just the same. More than one suit has been - brought in the state in such cases and the motorist was held financially responsible. Seven states in the Union have recently passed laws lifting this liability from, the motorist who are rid­ ing as invited guests or as free passengers. Ohio should join this progressive movement in behalf of .motorists but bus lines . or individuals accepting pay should be held financially responsi­ ble, / PROV ID ING FOR THE UNEMPLOYED - With hundreds of thousands of working men out of employ­ ment in this country, Congress gives this problem some consider­ ation. y- Some advocate unemployment insurance as is being -done In Germany where, workers pay three and one-half per cent;as premiums to protect themselves against being out of jobs; * ' We continually hear it said the present economic depression was due to the break in stock values in Wall Street. No’ doubt Wall Street gambling had much to do with it for millions of dollars from over the country were being poured, into, the stock gambling hopper each day. Pay day came and the little in­ vestor lost everything. The heavier investor lost a good pari o f his investment and finally money channels were'closed,, Re­ action brought about a depression and hundreds o f thousands were soon out of employment. A new situation arose and now comes the demand for relief of the worker in factories and shops who is now out o f a, job. Who is to pay this cost, the worker by insurance, or industry, which probably had nothing to do with Wall Street failures? Would it not be better for some reaction against Wall Street gambling? A bet on a dog race or a race horse, pool ticket is the signal for immediate action although neither may represent more than a dollar or two. *Wall Street gambles in millions each day and a contented public accepts the practice as a necessary evil that must be tolerated. You are advised to take' no' chances and stay out and so is the follower o f the dog or horse race betting If Wall Street gambling brings unemployment w. y not put the tax on it to protect the unemployed ? IND IA HAS A SMALL REVOLUTION “ The Boston Tea Party*' was' the signal many years'ago that, young America would no longer stand for the tax on tea. The British attempted to enforce the tax but the comparatively few Americans would have it no other way and that was the way it was settled. Over in India, where British rule is sup­ posed to he supreme, there promises to be a "Tea1Party" of a different kind, India with more millions o f people th.m Amer­ ica has today is determined to' have salt without a tax and is resisting the order. Mahatma Gandi, native Indian, who had been educated in England, able to understand American meth­ ods also, heads the revolution and being educated as a lawyer, is Resisting the English order that tax must be paid on salt and no fcalt can be made in India. England wants the revenue from het subjects. Moreover'India is wanting political freedom and unreasonable taxes will eventually bring it about! Taxation without representation has always been a hone of contention all over the world. It exists more or less in national government as well as our state governments. We have repre­ sentation when taxes are caused to be levied as they are'put on the people by elective officials, directly or inditectly. But if the people do hot want the tax they have no representation. Here in Ohio we have the initiative and referendum, which when adopted was the promise of self government, The same constitutional convention that gave us. the crazy-quilt plan saw to it that Ohio citizens could no+ use the instrument to combat either what might be termed just or unjust taxes’. When the people get interested in the new form of taxation promised under classification some organization should sponsor a consti­ tutional amendment to permit the use of the initiative and referendum on tax measures passed by the legislature, -When , this is done taxes then would be levied by representation, The t Ohio Farm Bureau is the organization to sponsor this constitu* j tional amendment. It could offer wo greater protection to farm j. land and home owners that now have no representation when i it comes to saying they do not want a certain tax. The po li-! ticians o f course would oppose such a change’ which is the bes t ; reason why any one tax should be repealed if the people do not j .favor it. ABR IL MOST FATEFUL MONTH IN H ISTORY j Upon first thought, or a look at the calendar, one does not place the month of April in the class of being full o f anniver­ saries, It is not a red letter month as far as the calendar is concerned... .. However, in American history, the month is a most fateful one, a# five or our six major wars began then, and the same month brought to a dose of the Civil war and the assassanatlon o f president Lincoln. . Every American schoolboy, of course, is familiar with the dory o f April 19,1775 and knows how Paul Revere rode along the historic highway and warned the patriots that the British were coming at daybreak under General Gage to destroy the supplies which Were concealed near Concord bridge. It wm at Lexington, on the public square, in the early HE CAN BUT W ILL HE DO IT7 Often times a so-called political leader meets defeat at the hands o f political opponents but seldom doe# such a leader go down in disgrace at the hands of his co-workers and by friends turning traitor. No political leader in Greene county in the past fifty years ever meet.such a stinging rebuke or was invited to attend his ownobsequies as was the renowned Sen. ( ? ) L. T. Marshall at a meeting of district Republicans in Springfield last Friday. It was only a few weeks previous that Marshall was the “ first choice” when the gang politicians met in the same city. At that time no attempt openly was made to endorse any candi­ date for Congress but under cover the word was passed that Brand must be sacrificed for Marshall, If there is anyone thing a politician reserves it is his right to change his mind. There is afeode of ethics that must be followed by political leaded but they often Bing it to tpe tune of “ doe for me," Five thousand round iron men creates, quite a force and naturally you would not expect political human beings to hold out against sUch a place.. Politicians frequently change their mind rather than run counter with an organized army of. five thousand smackers. Marshall has played politics for several years with Pember­ ton, former liquor lobbyist, and the Daugherty boys. He has been at their beck and call at all times. .He played the part of the tool in the legislature that utility interests could, profit un­ justly at the expense of the average citizen. He has winked at wrong doing in and about the legislature. Few times has he stood for the interests of the common people in the legislature nr by political dickering. What has been his reward ? Brought into an open4room among supposed friends and politically shot down without even the blindfold. The Herald has never had any interest in promoting the. Marshall candidacy, for congress or any other office. We have known his position too well and his political allies were any­ thing but desirable. We have no cause to shed a tear at his present dilemma. His political friends were of his own choos­ ing. Their ideals of private live and their purpose in having a hand in governmental affairs where hot those he has espoused or has endeavored to make his friends at hbime believe were his standards. His reward was the reward that come# to all who deal with the underworld in politics. He must bear his own burden and his own conscience must alone suffer the penalty.. Mr. Marshall's political fate is in his own-hands. He has a golden opportunity to make confession. There is no doubt but what he could bring about a political ,upheaval in certain political circles. He knows .where there has been wrong doing and who was responsible. If he knows where graft has played i part among those \vhonow have wronged him he should make it known. He can lighten the burden by giving the'public what it is entitled to know, even though some men might have to go :o prison. Marshall has suffered, a disgrace far greater than that he has ever forced oh any political opponent. He now has ;he opportunity to really become great in the Seventh District] Will be wash his'hand# o f the whole affair or be content to hold back proof o f wrong doing that citizen# should know about? Now is the time and the opportunity is his—will he, do it? Why Sea# Tour Money Away? Spend it at home where yon see what yon are buying.

Greatest In the Kingdom of Heaven (vv. 1-4). I.. The disciples’ question (?. 1), The prominence given to Peter In connection with the announcement of Christ's .purpose to build Urn church and the payment of tribute with the money in the fish’s mouth, provoked jealousy on the part of the other dis­ ciples. The transfiguration scene re­ vealed the divine person and the pro­ gram of His kingdom, Seeing that the kingdom was to come to realiza­ tion despite the tragedy of the cross, disciples wished to 'know their place of rank In the kingdom- 1 . 2. Jesus' answer (vv. 2-4), He taught them1by placing a little child In their midst (1) Condition of ^entrance Into the .kingdom (v. 3). Tile great question was as to whether they were really In the kingdom. Their behavior revealed the fact that they needed conversion, Before they could even see, much less enter into, the kingdom, they must be horn from .above (John 3:3, 5). (2) Whosoever, possesses childlike humility Is the greatest (v. 4). The child is dependent, lowly and modest. Those who have been born again, or con­ verted, have these characteristics, II. The Lord's Identification With His Believing Ones (vv. 5-9). . 1. Receiving the believer InChrist’s name is receiving Christ (v.. 5). Through faith In Christ we become God's children and so completely is our life Interwoven with His that He regards treatment pi us as treatment of Himself, • * 2. The peril of causing a believer to stumble (vv. 0-9), ' - ■ To cause to stumble means to give occasion for a moral fall. The par­ ticular reference was to the carnality and selfishness which.were expressing themselves in their contention for pre­ eminence. Their behavior was not only an Injury, but a stumbling block to others. Everything causing one to stumble, though It be ns vital as hands and feet, should be rembved, III. - Believer* Are Specially Cared for by the Heavenly Father (vv. 10-14). 1. They arp under angelic guardian­ ship (v. 10). So precious Is the believer In God's sight that angelic messengers are pro­ vided .(Heb, 1:10). These angelic messengers have access to the very ' throne of God, even beholding His face, So high.is the honor bestowed upon believers' that the highest nngnls are sent to guard them. 2. The Soft came especially to save such from their lost condition (vv. 11-14). • The Heavenly Father does not will that any one o f these should perish. They are objects of the Father’s seek- ing love. The salvation of the hum­ ble believer has been .secured by the Incarnation and the sacrifice of the .Good Shepherd, IV; .Jesus Receiving Little Chil­ dren (Matt. 19J13-15), We should carefully note the setting o f this text. Jesus had Jbeen speaking of the sanctity of marriage, which is the bulwark of. the home. Into thei sacred enclosure of the home comes childhood to complete and ennoble it. 1, Children brought to Jesus (v. 13). Doubtless they were brought by their parents. Many parents today who are careless as to themselves, de- . sire to bring their children Into touch with Jesus Christ. 2, Rebuked by the disciples (v.3S), They regarded children as too lnalg- -ntficnnt to engage the Lord’s attention, Christ places high value upon chil­ dren. 3, The disciples rebuked by Christ (v. 14). Ttlese words uttered by the Lord have placed a peculiar dignity upon the child. It is Chrlsttike to care for children and no service tu the world pays such large dividends. 4, Christ laid His hands upon the children (v. 16), For Mora P a o * on Earth Less chestlness and more bowed knees make for more peace on earth. -^-Christian Monitor.
