Events during the four years may. bring apology from some quarters but not from here. Four years ago tjie nomination was a response to public appeal, last week it was a nomination of steam roller methods by office holders sitting as delegates. We realize that the President cannot be held accountable for all our economic troubles but we feel as others dcfthat he has lacked considerable courage and leadership and permitted the politicians to make a play-thing of government for patronage only. We feel as others do that his moratorium was a mistake, one that has only added to our many burdens. It must be so for the last convention that nominated him had no praise for the moratorium. We feel he has been closer and more interested in the success of our international bankers and folks across the seas than the folks at home through the billions in foreign loans. He has much to his credit on other issues but the dam­ age to our people as a whole far out-weights the good that can be recorded. . - , , , , ' ■ The only issue before, the convention was how to straddle the prohibition question and hold votes each way. As a result neither side is satisfied arid if the President “ chooses” to cam­ paign on “ a states rights” basis he will sell out the party on Democratic principles. The idea of “ states rights” for prohi­ bition and not for slavery is ridiculous, it is beyont compre­ hension that the party of-Lincoln can now be warped to adopt the very issue over which the Civil War was fought and won^ We must go backTo~boyhbbd"days"when the youth”of this sec­ tion as well as the whole country north of the Mason and Dixon line was fired by great orators like Foraker, McKinley, Roose­ velt and others that the principle of state rights must be forever banished. How well do we remember when in the early teem hearing the late John Little in a political speech in Xenia drill ing the idea of “ one nation" and showing the falacy of state rights. When we come to think of it Greene county, sent out in the largest numbers, according to population, the best of our young manhood to shoulder the musket in the 60’s that “ states rights” and a secession of states should not become an accom­ plished fact. How could those who wore the blue and are now sleeping beneath the sod be reconciled to the Republican party adopting a plank for which they had given their valor, many of them their lives. There is good reason for the Democratic-party adopting the idea of states rights for prohibition. But who is there that can justify the Republican party on past history: The Republican party had but two points at issue: either endorse prohibition or recommend repeal. The attitude the President takes in the coming campaign will have iriuch to do with the future of the party, it will also have, much to do with the thirteenth, four-* teenth, arid fifteenth amendments. We have been told that a “ nation cannot remain half slave and half free” neither can it survive and be half wet and half dry. f t , There is nothing in the Republican platform that honest, sincere and conscientious drva_can endorse. There is little that pleases the wets. The wets a rbp r t^h i^ such Republicans as Senator Taft, who boasts of being as “ wet as any one” , yet en­ dorses the party plank. In the Saturday editon of the Cincin­ nati Times-Star, Senator Taft is quoted as saying that the wet? should be satisfied with the Republican prohibition-wet plank for it is the same plank that John J. Raskob arid Gov. A1 Smith tried to get the Democratic convention to adopt in 1928 at the .Kansas City convention. This should be comforting news to all “ old-line-straight-voting” Republicans, Many a dry Republi- - can may, yet be. forced .to hold his nose when he marks his bal­ lot iri November. As for President Hoover we fear he has per­ mitted his political managers to prepare a dirty nest for his second term aspirations. As for history the past four years has taken us back to the days of the Civil War. And we may read in the future the history of i928-1932 as being likened to the days of Bjuchannan. YOU CAN T * H AVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT Neither cah you continue to spend more than you receive without getting into financial difficulties. Individuals have long ago discovered the truth of this statement. Governments are now finding it out. Budget balancing has beeomp the plea of the hour, To balance the budget the Indiana Farmer says sav­ ing is an essential factor. Private business has had to make drastic reductions in many lines, so must governments when they find themselves running behind in their finances. It seems difficult for this to sink into the minds of those responsible for the affairs‘o f government. Such advice has been given out by the leaders c f all business but the politicians think prosperity is the product of artificial inflation by taking the tax dollar from the pocket of the individual or corporation and finding a way to spend it. . •Those in charge of government affairs have earned' just criticism from the manner in which public business has~been handled. Operating any business at a c. st greater than the in­ come is poor policy and brings disaster in the end. The public building program proposed by Congress arid carried on by the present administration will wreck the nation. The Franklin Chronicle in speaking of provision for a new $85,000 postoffice building in that place aptly states facts in opposing such a foolish venture, particularly at this time. Editor Tibbals views with much alarm the tax situation and says: “ we simply, cannot stand another dollar of taxation.” Of course the post office building program is more or less a political gag on the part of political leaders to get Votes but there are some that do riot yet understand just where tax money comes from.

COLUMBUS, OHIO Ex-president Calvin Coolidgu raid " I do not choose to run” when asked if -he would again be a candidate fo r the presidency. The other' day Sen. Borah, Idaho, who was the tower o f strength fo r President Hoover four years ago, stated when asked if he would support Hoover this year said: “ I Will Not,” While these small words o f English have every day use and in many ways, think what they mean when used by men-of prominence or those in the public eye. It has been known for some time that Sen. Borah was not warm to Hoover owing to the Presidents stand on prohibition, the tariff law and the administration's dose connection with Wall Street and International banking interests/ Sen. Borah says he will not head a third party but will campaign for senators and congressmen,who stand for the enforcement o f prohibition. The Re publican. National Convention left a bad taste in the mouth o f many people if the stand, many Republicans have taken is a criterion. i ary. ^Tha county government change places more power in state officials at Columbus and means you wAl have the same situation with county gov. ernment as yon have now with school t affairs being directed from the Capi-j tal. The taxpayer wifi have little or no chance to get a road fixed as the county commissioners will be under the highway department and township trustees sent to the junk pile. The wet forces will have a real holiday fo r the new change provides that prosecu­ ting attorneys will be appointed by the attorney general. The radio is now being used to sell the plan to. the public, , When asked to sign a petition just keep in mind the school situation, the result, the cost to taxpayers. If you want the German form o f govern­ ment installed in Ohio when every or­ der must come from Coiambus with many hundred more appointive of­ ficials, sign your name to the petition. It is a clever step to take prohibition out o f the hands o f local officials, us 'well as other law enforcement. While workmen were repairing a walk around the Steele building in Xenia several days ago, and the base­ ment was exposed, it recalled the days when a restaurant was conduct­ ed at that corner. The Steel building had not been erected many years and was a great attraction to Greene ______ countians.

Sloan o f General Motors, John Rocke­ feller, and other great captains o f i. dustry. fail to endorse the platform. Four years ago the nomination of j Mr. Hoover was made as a demand or nearly a draft, the' mandate coming j from the people. Four years after­ wards, or last week, the nomination comes from federal and state office holders, 175 votes' o f southern states that will not give him an electoral I vote. As for the platform, neither the drys br wets are satisfied. . Brown, has" campaigned fo r months in wet centers for modification yet in the convention backed .up leaving his wet supporters and not winning dry support owing to his straddled, position. Even Gilbert! Bettman, Republican nominee for sen­ ator in Ohio, nominated on a repeal plank, was denied a hearing before the resolution's committee. The situa­ tion from a party standpoint has nev­ er been equaled in history; The Re­ publican party since its. organization has always taken a definite and oper stand on national problems but the Hoover-Brown e,milk and ;water plank is the joke' o f the century. The ghost o f state rights rriay follow the Hoover administration until it is lost in his­ tory. The state o f Oregon must not be satisfied with the present tariff law for Cong. Hawley, one o f the framers, was recently defeated on the tariff is­ sue by his constituents. But the west evidently has its own viewB.on pub­ lic matters. There is Mabel Willen brand, out for a change in the prohi­ bition laws, to permit the grape The Democratic national conven­ tion opens soon in Chicago and what a time is in prospect. Who will be the Democratic presidential nominee is like trying to solve the walking dis­ tance to Mars. Of course Gov. Roose­ velt has a majority o f the delegates and control o f the national committee having the convention in charge but there are many old timers to contest and apply the political rules as the professionals can interpret' them. At Smith o f presidential fame is there not that many think he will be the successful nomyiee, but he is out to get Roosevelt’s goat. A1 has found out that JKoosevelt did not give him 100 per c en t,support four years ago and that he played with the K. K. E, All that is an -unpardonable political sin. The solid South is expected to line up just as solid for Roosevelt as certain Eastern states will oppose him. The prohibition plank may not give the Democrats as much trouble as it did the Republicans. Most o f the Demo­ cratic leaders, north and south are for a change iii prohibition. Bishop Can­ non has lost his grip on the Democrat­ ic side and failed to make an impres- session on the Republican wets that Walter Brown had lifted up fo r Hoov­ er. The Democratic convention can Mo longer lay claim to .“ state Tights'* for the Republicans beat them to it at the Chicago pow-wow last week. It is hinted in some quarters that Newton Baker, former Secretary o f War, may become a .dark horse in the race. The Ohio delegation Is pledged to Gov. White, but that does not mean the Governor will get votes from many state delegations. There is only one „ . . . , , ■ ~ .* . in l a w w u i it iu m a l u c r u u m u . ^ B ' ° m f V* £ et bacb m tbe I surprise that would shock the people wine business. Mabel is attorney foi |as a result o f ^ Democratic gather- the grape industry. Four years' ago she staged a Billy Sunday stunt in a Springfie^Kchurch during a meeting of JI. E. Conference, landing a bod> blow on A1 Smith and his wet friends At that time Mabel was on the gov. ernment prohibition enforcement end of the public payroll—flow she is paid a big salary by the grape industry. In addition President Hoover’s Federal Farm Board Joans the grape industry six or seven ‘million dollars to devel ope more grapes for more wine. How future generations are to read U, S. history and ever understand the whole prphibition movement and particular­ ly enforcement, we do not know. Just a few years ago many big men were dry now they are wet. The politicians can always fit themselves to any con. dition or change. ing next week and that would.be the convention would go on record for support o f the eighteenth amendment. “HERALDWANT ANDSALEADSPAY” John N. Willys, Toledo, automobile manufacturer, was appointed by Pres­ ident Hoover as ambassador to Poland but recently resigned and has return­ ed to his home city. He was given a Home-Coming reception last week, in Walter Brown’s native town also. A t the banquet were 800 leading business men and manufacturers. Knowing old-world conditions from actual ex­ perience he made an effort to shield anyone or withhold what he thought was wrong. He Urged a “ fundamental change in the present tariff laws; he blamed.the United States for starting “ the raising o f prohibitive tariffs." He urged the repeal o f the 18th a- mendment and expressed disappoint­ ment at the Republicans' “ straddling the prohibition issue,” His advice to the individual business man was “ hard work, shirt sleeve, work” and co-oper­ ation.” The proposal for a new form o f county government is being placed be­ fore the voters and petitions will be circulated over Ohio and voters will express their preference At the polls in November..The plan has been work­ ed out by Cincinnati and Cleveland politicians with the aid o f some other organisations. Classification o f prop­ erty fo r taxatioh was unloaded bn an unsuspected public and now Cincin­ nati and Hamilton county is bringing a suit to upset part o f the law. The best that can be said for it is that several hundred more "Ohio citizens have been given political Appoint­ ments at tha expense o f the taxpay- Gov. White announced Tuesday that he favored a change in the eighteenth amendment for “ good beer” , but not to be sold in saloons. It seems to be a dull day when some- o f our promi­ nent officials, industrial leaders, bank­ ers, Y. M. C. A. leaders, and others do not get front page space in advocat­ ing a change in prohibition. As David S. Ingals, Republican nominee was chosen on a repeal platform, the dry forces are left without a candidate. Some weeks ago the Anti Saloon League called a conference for a third ticket for governor, senator and con­ gressmen at large, 'From inside in­ formation all was not well at the conference. Many there favored a third ticket and then came the sug­ gestions as to candidates when the salaried staff o f the League served notice on the gathering that the or­ ganization would pick the candidates. This did not set well with the the dele­ gates that went home disgusted and the third ticket movement died almost before it was horn. Gov, White has ordered the streams o f Ohio opened to fishermen, which is welcome news to all lovers o f the sport. Several hundred mjles o f fish­ ing streams‘ in Ohio had been closed in the spring to fishermen With an ap­ peal that it was a conservation plan to get streams restocked. Now it is said the spawning season is over and all streams have been ordered open.- LAND PLASTER to be used in­ stead o f lime on melons, potatoes, etc. Wilt not burp the plants and acts as a fertilizer and carrier o f poisons, Stiles Company, S.
