However he exercised the same power in the reduction of salaries of government employees. Probably no one would hesitate to enforce such an order were it not abso­ lutely necessary. The financial condition of the nation would no longer permit such payments. That disappointment will be found among veterans ther6 is no question but from what we can learn the organization is taking the reduction in a patriotic spirit. We are sure when conditions right themselves those who were, called into service will be rewarded by a more liberal al­ lowance than at present. The President seems determined to balance the budget and this is what the nation wants. He is preparing to abolish other government bodies and commissions that have drawn heavy on the nation’s income and given very little if anything in return. The present situation is one in which the President has had no official responsibility in the past. The million upon million deficit was piled up by the past administration. There was no such thing as economy and there had been but one effort in the past four years to balance the budget. This was last June but by that time government income had dropped so low there was no chance of balancing the budget. The then President Hoover advocated a reduction in the pay of veterans but the nation did not take him serious because he made no proposals as to how other reductions were to be made. The public was aware that millions of dollars of public money was being poured into the laps of Wall Street banks by the way of fat-contracts to corpor­ ations owned or directed by Morgan. The post office department had one of the largest deficits of any branch of the government. And this too in the face of in­ creased postage. That such a deficit would mount there can be no denial when you hear lof the kind of contracts the railroads and steamship companies, Morgan controlled, received for hauling the mail, the figures including the subsidy. The former administration was just as generous in loaning the steamship companies funds to build new vessels. Here is but one of nu­ merous loans and the rate of interest: ‘’Dollar Steamship Co., $5,287,500 at one-fourth per cent interest; another loan of $5,- 287,000 at one per cent and smaller amounts at rates ranging up to 3 5-8 per cent. This is the company young Roosevelt, a son Of the late Theodore, heads. Young Roosevelt on one or more occasions took the “ radio” to appeal to the public in sup­ port for a cut in veteran’s pay during the Hoover campaign. He had reason to be alarmed as to the future of the country. Cut­ ting the veteran’s pay would leave the Morgan interests in po­ sition to gobble up more government money. It is interesting to know something of the kind of contracts the post office department approved. In 1931 the Grace Steanw ship Co. was paid $238,500 for carrying mail which, on a pound basis, would have.cost the department only $458. Lykes Bros. Steamship Co. was paid $317,916 for hauling mail that would have cost by the pound, $194. Pacific Argen­ tine Brazil Line, $286,398 for carrying $141.28 worth of mail at the pound rate. /The Roosevelt-Vincent Astor company was evidently the favorite for Uncle Sam’ s' postal department paid them a'total of $3 ,728,304 covering the years 1931 and 1932. These figures only show how one department under the past administration was operated. It is said other departments * were about fthe same considering the amount of money avail­ able. Contracts were let for new post office buildings by the hundred and no one knows where the money is to come from to pay the bills. All this heaped the Hoover deficit into the bil­ lions. To get back within the nation’s income readjustments are necessary and probably larger cuts will have to be made in the government payroll. The veterans can readily see that if some action was. not taken for reductions the government would , crumble. Most everyone regrets that the veterans must take a cut in their pay but when there is no funds to pay with and the revenue of the government greatly reduced, all departments must take their share of the cuts. Had Mr. Hoover been re­ elected this cut would have come the same and if we read the signs right it would have beep a deeper cut than what President Roosevelt has ordered. TALES OF THE CHIEFS POCAHONTAS AND MILLY TUESDAY A BLACK-LETTER DAY FOR U. S. When the Airship Akron became entangled in a storm over the Atlantic ocean early Tuesday morning and crashed to the sea, taking 73 lives of crew and government passengers, the first though of the average citizen was: “ Does it pay to invest five or six million dollars in developing such a craft. The ex­ perience of this country has been anything but pleasant in re gard to airship construction of the dirigible type. This is the third major loss to the country. Even a small blimp with three aboard while searching for bodies crashed taking the lives of its crew the same day. Uncle Sam has one more major aircraft now under con struction, the Macon, which was christened only a few weeks ago. W e do not believe the nation expects the administration to consider other big aircraft at this time. Financial conditions do not warrant such expenditures while twelve or more million people walk the streets in search of labor. The aircraft-inter­ ests will deman that another ship be built to take the place of the Akron -but someone should say no, not as long as men and women are m the American bread line. RULES LACKING ON NEW BEER SALES A t this writing Ohio has no state liquor commission to is sue the proper licenses. The politicians have been having some trouble picking a complete board, four Democrats and three Republicans, all to be named by Governor White. Picking out men for this board from a political standpoint so that the beer seller will be under obligation to the party in power is no easy matter. Another problem bothering local officials is whether a city tax can be charged. Some say not for the reason the beer is to carry a tax collected by the state and divided with the mu­ nicipalities where licenses are to be* used. All village and city ordmances 6n the liquor question are now dead as a result of the change m the state law.

She wob a frol­ icsome child, and her playfulness e a r n e d her a nickname from the father: Pokahan* tes (she is playful). The adventures of Capt. John Sraijth— his perils among the hostile Indians, his capture, the sentence to death, and his res cue by the •maiden scarcely in her teens, are told in song and story. But that Is only the be­ ginning of the narrative of Pocahon tas. John Smith returned to Englani in 1609. The promises of the EngUsl were not fulfilled, and the Indian, were kept unhappily busy by the exac tions of the white people. There was Intrigue among the In­ dians also. Lured by the false stories of a ‘ treacherous ■chief. Pocahontas went aboard the ship of Captain Ar­ gali, In the Potomac river. She was held on board while the boat sailed away from land, and for some time she was kept a prisoner and ransom was asked for her. “Powhatan," as her father was kno\yn, had become openly hostile when •his favorite daughter was thus kidnaped. He agreed to a kind of peace, however, to effect jher return, but was ready for trouble—a dangerous neighbor for the whites. But Pocahontas had not spent all her time In English hands bewailing her fate. One o f the Englishmen had found favor in her eyes, and she saw that her affection was returned. She accepted Christianity, partly, perhaps, because o f this personable gentleman, and was baptized as the “Lady Rebec­ ca." Her savagery thus transmuted, John Rolfe no longer delayed, and in April, 1613, the two were married. This alliance-pleased Powhatan. The old chief (lie was sixty when he first met the white men) had great ambi­ tions for his beloved daughter. Three years after the wedding, the Rolfes and several of the Powhatan Indians set sail for England, Poca liontas’ story had preceded her, and . since her father was a powerful ruler, the daughter was everywhere ac­ claimed as a princess. Her visit was a-triumph; her portrait was painted; people crowded around her In admira­ tion, and her romantic story was on every tongue. Happy over her reception, yet eager to return to her own people, Pocahon tas prepared for. the trip back to America. She was aboard the ship, lying at Gravesend, when an unfor- seen calamity occurred. Smallpox, an enemy which -rarely spared Indian vic­ tims, attacked her. Everything1 pos­ sible was done in the hope of saving the young “princess," but nothin availed. She was only twenty-two when she succumbed to the scourge, leaving her husband and tlielr son to mourn her. * •* j £ While Pocahontas Is perhapwttn most romantically famous ltidW|biri in history, there have been othdr res­ cues by other Indian maidens- That of McKrimmon by the Seminole Milly is also well-known, and has a happier ending. . In December of 1817, McKrimmon an American, ’was captured by the In­ dians and takgn to Mlkasuki, HHlis Hadjo’s town. Tills famous chief had been on the British side ta the War of 1812, and was still a foe to the Americans. -He ordained that the cap­ tive be burned to death like any other enemy. The American, his head shaved, was bound to n stake, and Wood was piled around him, rendy for the “ burnt-offer­ ing.” Then began a hideous dance. The Seminoles circled round and round their captive, uttering cries of con­ tempt, and of Jojr at his capture We are not told how the American stood the ordeal. However, our na­ tional pride In our countrymen, as well as Willy’s intercession, speak well for him, for If he had begged for mercy, no doubt the Seminole maiden would have steeled her heart against him. Just as the fatal spark approached the wood, the young and lovely daugh­ ter of HUlls Hadjo rushed to her fa­ ther. At his feet, sho begged for the life of the captive, but the chief was stern and denied her request, Flnalfy - she treatened to die with him unless lie were liberated. Not until he was convinced that his daughter meant what she sold, did the chief order the captive unbound. Although McKrlm- raoii’s life was safe, he was not free, however. The Seminoles held him ns a prisoner until h e ' was bought by some Spaniards for seven and a half gallons of rum, and these “ owners" released him. Shortly after these events, the chief was captured by Americans and hanged. His wife and daughters, nmong whom was Milly, surren­ dered. The Americans paid marked attention to the brave and beautiful young fpdlnn girl, and McKrimmon of­ fered to marry her. After n long courtship, In which McKrimmon finally persuaded her that he had not made the Offer from gratitude, but from, love, they were married, and so, as the fairy-tales say, they lived happily ever after, (©, 1932, Wontcrn Newspaper Union.) ,, ....- f — NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT ment never had hut one honest con- scienuows enforcement head o f that department, and he was Smcdley But­ ler. He asked that he he ©yen the power to pick his own enforcement of­ ficers. Two o f the nation’s dryesfc sen­ ators from the floor o f the upper house spoke against giving away this power, which they contended belonged The farm mortgage relief proposal to the senate members, Smcdley lost is now before congress fo r considers- out and in time give up his enforce- tion. Various state legislatures have ment job and quit in disgust. His been wrestling with such a plan but’ hands were tied by having to take wet the complications are many and how inspectors recommended for appoint- to treat all interests fairly is troubl-;ment by so-called dry senators who ing the best of minds. A survey shows j had to have the wet vote to win at that 45.2 per cent o f all farms in New the polls. Another lesson the drys ::agis:: same: WOOL I York are under mortgage now and as strange as it may seem this percen­ tage is the same as it was back in 1900, The lowest percentage was 38.7 in 1925. State legislatures are endeav­ oring to make it possible to withhold oreclosure proceedings. However the requirement for this calls, for prompt payment of interest, taxes, insurance, and reasonable upkeep of the prop­ erty. C. B. Jennett, vice president of the First Trust Joint Stock Land Bank in Chicago, in a statement presents a different view'. He says: “ It is time to think o f the investor as well as the farmer. The attitude of mortgage holders who put the farmers on the defensive by forcing the issue now is lamentable..” Jennett does not favor moratorium because those able to pay will also halt and the entire eco­ nomic structure collapses. This ruins markets and the farmer out of debt is soon pulled down. The lesson to the coming generation is clearly shown whether the newcomers will profit is a question. It must be admitted that in excess o f credit is not always the best asset, depending on how judicious it is used. Many o f the loans made in recent years were like some marriages on record, repentance followed at a more leisure hour. Probably in the future borrowers will be compelled to have say fifty per cent o f the purchase price o f a farm or home before the loan is made. can find out o f the past experiment as noble as we were once told it was. The result o f the Mu higan prohibi­ tion repeal vote Monday may have been quite a surprise to the drys fo r! the state was one o f the first to join,} the movement for national prohibition, j The wets claim around 80 o f the one; hundred delegates for the constitu-! tional'convention. The result in Wis-i conson was no surprise. The state! never did endorse prohibition, neither! was prohibition ever enforced in that state. The nation is beer minded and it is not going to be stopped very eas­ ily. The hard liquor interests and the beer crowd may fall out in time for the former are not now in the picture. Stand by the platform js the slogan and politicians like to point with pride to, the platform. President Roosevelt has outlined a plan whereby congress is asked to put into law more protection to the invest­ ing, public. Thousands and thousands of citizens the past four years under ■‘the bigger the better rule” were rob­ bed by the sale o f securities of local companies that were worthless then and are proven so now. Then we had the sale o f millions o f foreign bonds that are worthless. All o f these in­ vestors, as innocent as they were as to what they were buying, now find themselves “ broke!.” They had been given the “ Geiger-Jones” degree. Held j up by the heels and peeled to the last i cent if necessary. The nation doesj not have to be begged to support such * a law. We hear no complaint in this! county about such a law. ■Greene! ;ounty has been a fertile field for the; ■sale of questionable stocks. People have given a t.least one such sales­ man political endorsement. ■ President Roosevelt might call in the Seventh District Congressman who should know something about what should >r should not be in such a law. Ohio is not all set yet about how the beer business is to he managed. In as m.uch as the beer bill was passed in the Ohio legislature by a. large vote, we are glad the emergency clause was added to check a referen­ dum. In our opinion the emergency racket is about the worst piece of court written legislation ever given any state. Now its a good club in the hands o f the wets. If each tax a ct! was subject to a referendum we would not be facing more taxesf The emer­ gency clause may awaken drys to the fact such a thing should be impossible.

This same house has, had control of stock exchanges, grain and live stock markets. In fact it has been the seat of the government the past four years. Call money in the market for broker’s loans was around two percent but Uncle Sam borrowed from the “House” at 3 1-4, It has also been intimated that copies o f all important government papers have been turned over to the seat of gov­ ernment on Wall Street. Cabinet members conversed daily with •New York for advice. Fat government con­ tracts went to firms controlled by the “ House" and even some Senators are! now listed as being welcome guests in the "House o f Morgan.” It is going to be interesting to watch this pro­ posed investigation and how congress votes on it.

This was in the days when the alley boys had to concentrate on extract o f lemon for a thrill, the corn-crib distiller had not yet taken up the art of distilling and the home brew was unknown in the family kitchen. Back in the days we refer to, many grocers probably sold one or two too many bottles of the extract and this was grounds for the supposed prohibition enforcement snoopers to got in their work. Some merchants walked up and paid their fines, some took another route that made things interesting for the en­ forcer, who had a family to support. One case pointed out to the writer several years ago was that o f a gro­ cer that could settle for $50 out of court and the matter would be forgot­ ten but the grocer was a bigger man than that. He openly stated that he might have to pay a fine but he would not pay a bribe. And he paid the fine. Now one o f these lemon extract en­ forcers is to dish out permits to sell the new beer Friday. There is a good lesson in the story from the dry stand­ point, Enforcement and the manner it has been handled has had more to to with turning public sentiment than anything else.
