Col. John -A. Hughes, the Col, Johnson of the Ohio liquor chain ITS TIME TO SLAY POLITICAL LOBBYISTS You probably do not realize it but the lobby element in stores, dictator who has assumed the Ohio- has already selected most of the candidates for state power to place cheap whiskey on sale senator in the various districts, including Republican and I)em- jn state stores in violation of the Ohio ocratic candidates. We do not desire to be understood that all p Ur<> food law, now challenges the candidates are under the control of the lobby but we are. cer- 0f any municipality in the state tain the majority will be, or else the plans already laid down to interfere with the regulation of will fail. In as much as senators are elected in districts it is state operated stores. Recently Mi l - . . . . . , . easier to pick safe candidates.

Dictator Hughes now de- ^ ° hb'3rn instltutlons , and sional candidates and keeps control of the congressional com- clares the city has no such right to J s h o u J d k e e p in ^mind* what *happened A good way to drive ah industry out of a community is fqr the employees or even the eitizens to keep nagging at the institution or the management. No doubt Osborn will learn this les­ son much to its sorrow if conditions do not change due to the strike a- mong some 300 cement workers. As both plants are owned by foreign mittee for that one purpose. It is unfortunate but neverthe­ less true that the Seventh Congressional District has been in­ fected with this political cancer for some years. Right at this ‘ time, P . C. Pemberton, former lobbyist for Cincinnati saioon keepers, now lobbyist for railroads, is much peeved because he has not been consulted about a certain candidate announcing for district committeeman. There are many good reasons why the present committeeman, Sherman Deaton, should be retired. Some history was made at the tent meeting near Clifton some years ago in the Cooper campaign that could be given a public review if necessary. W e wish to call the attention of tlie newspaper publishers in the Seventh District to the need of changing committeeman this year. The Republican management has never overlooked the opportunity to take everything in sight but even demand J certain things of the newspapers in the form of publicity, Now is the time for publishers to serve notice on the political bosses that a change is desired, and unless it is forthcoming something else than cooperation in the future might be lacking/ The Re­ publican management in the state cannot be praised publically, since the most of the managers are on the lobby payroll. To make the situation all the worse most of them have sold out the party and joined with Democratic leaders to get favorite bills through the legislature. There is and can be no denial of what has happened in recent months. If the Republican pub­ lishers are content with this condition the present lobby control should be continued. If not a change must be demanded and it is within the power of the j publishers to bring it about through the election of Raymorid Howard, London publisher as committeeman in the Seventh District. While property owners and taxpayers Have been victims of the lobby element and had higher taxes and more taxes forced I on them to enable the utility interests to escape, it-is time news­ paper publishers take up the fight at home against those re­ sponsible for the wrong inflicted on citizens in general. Rail- roadsl.ave escaped with lower taxes due to Ohio legislation on the plea of business conditions but such a plea found .no place for Mr. Common Citizen. Here is where each publisher in the Seventh District can direct his force and center fire, on the railroads until the management gives Lobbyist Pemberton a free ticket to large open spaces in some distant land. If the railroads have money to hire lobbyists at Salaries much great­ er than any governor ever dreamed of, j|t is, time newspaper publishers come to the front and let the home folks know what the true situation is. A Seventh District'gathering is to be held soon in Spring- field. Newspaper publishers are going to have a hand in cor­ recting a rotten situation. What are the railroads going to do? DEPRESSIONS WEATHERED The life insurance industry has lived through 19 major depressions— and in every instance it has come out with colors flying. It has proved itself the cornerstone of man’s financial structure and provided a road to financial independence. In 1857, paper inflation was estimated at $2,000,000,000. Banks failed and mobs ran riot in the streets. And life insur­ ance, whose fundamental principles were then being tried and tested, survived. In 1873, 72 railroads were in default. The New York Stock exchange closed for a week. Depression and unemployment were rampant. Thirty-one life insurance companies, which are still in business, carried on as usual, meeting every rightful obligation. In one month Of 1893, 407 banks failed. One-hundred- sixty-nine railroads were unable to meet mortgage interest. In­ terest fates rose to 360 per cent. The government came closest to bankruptcy in its history. And in a year of which it is said that money almost disappeared from circulation, life insurance paid out a total of $175,000,000. In 1907, one Of the greatest of all financial crashes oc­ curred. Depression was world-wide. Yet every life insurance company paid contracts in cash exactly when they fell due. In 1930, 1931 and 1932 business collapsed, banks failed, moratoriums were declared. During those years cash pay­ ments of 48 leading life companies aggregated more than $6,- 000,000,000, about half the original war debt owed our gov­ ernment by Europe, eleven and one-half billions of which is still unpaid. set a time for closing of a state operated store. Those who desired prohibition repeal might give serious consideration to such an order. Pub­ lic sentiment even among those who desired repeal will not take kindly to' such autocratic orders. The Col, might be hastening the day of local option, which will give repeal follow­ ers something else to think about. An editorial writer on a city paper calls attention to the need of longer terms for members of the legislature in view of the fact not enough new tax laws were enacted. In view of the fact .that Gov. White has kept the present legislative bodies in session most of the present year, compelling all members to spend more for hotel and board than the salary amounts to, might canvass the result. Race horse gambling' made legal, placed the state directly in the liquor business, and more taxes. He secured the passage in the first session of financial measures that took care of the poli­ tical officials and left the schools out in the cold. His. next move was to try and force a sales tax to finance the schools. In this he failed for the members were hearing from home. The plan was to make the people swallow higher taxes or close down the schools. The politicians •were more important and theii salaries were fastened down first. The net result is the Gov., and his supporters have double-crossed the school teach­ ers and patrons. The Gov. also re­ fused to stand for a reduction in the price of school text books . that are, sold at twice or three times their cost. To the average citizen two years of the White administration is more than enough, to say nothing of four years as the city editor suggests. » Cong. Thomas A. Jenkins, Ironton, has ’Secured an amendment to the $400,0000,000 federal highway con­ struction bill," that requires 25 per cent of the, amount to be spent on roads. The Jenkins amendment was the refusal of the present Ohio ad­ ministration to use federal money to improve rural roads. Now it will be mandatory. How things turn about then the rural mail carriers, school authorities, county commissioners' and county engineers get on the job. They simply routed the highway interests that would not sanction it. to Xenia when the shoe factory was moved, leaving 600 employees out of work. It used to be a favored sport for Xenians to take pot-shots at the Hooven & Allison Col, but you never hear of such a thing now for this company is about the only large cori- cern left in the city. To add to Os­ born’s embarrassment, the mayor, a former cement worker, takes pleasure in handing out a $100 fine against Harry Jennings, general manager of the Wabash ,Co„ on a charge of wreck­ less driving. This will not likely add any sugar to Osborn's coffee. YOUR “ DEBT CERTIFICATES” GROW The dust' storm that covered the country for several days due to high, winds and extremely -dry weather, gave, the sky an unusual appearance last Thursday. The top soil in west­ ern states Turned to powder and was carried- at a high altitude according to reports of air pilots that were forced to rise • to 15,000 feet to escape it. That such a storm would be a menace to health there can be, no denial. The eye, ear,, nose and throat no doubt caught much of the disease laden dust but where good health was found there would be no ill effect. However much throat trouble has been reported in every section of the country. . A recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in a suit brought at Pittsburgh, Pa., settles a Reams have been written about the dandelion, that pesky little yellow flower that carpets the fields, lawns and gardens each spring. Some people adore them but to. most persons, es­ pecially the landscape artist and gardner, they are a pest. We are forced to admit there is an attractive­ ness of a large plot of dandelion in yellow bloom which from a distance looks like a velvet carpet. We know of a few locations where from ap­ pearance they may. have been culti­ vated, so perfect was the carpet of yellow blossom. The beautiful lawn at Femdale Farm a few days ago had the blanket of yellow instead of the usual rich green. I f it had been planned for a perfect yellow lawn the landscape gardner could not have ex­ celled what nature was doing. Then again we suppose as Ferndale has the best of seed corn and porkers it might just as well have the credit for the best dandelion lawn in the country. Some days ago we learned of a new way to combat the dandelion pest, if you desire to get rid of them. A resi­ dent of Mason, O., prides in the fine appearance of his lawn but the dan­ delion sometimes gets to a point where that pride is hurt. He says if you will mow your lawn and then drop a few drops of gasoline from an oil can in the heart of the plant, you will do more than anything yet known to kill 'the weed'. This must be done in midday when there is no moisture. Two or three drops in the heart will do the trick but be careful not to get any on the grass. We tried the plan in a limited way a few days ago and indications are the sug­ gestion is a good one. NOTICE Greene County Common Pleas Court.

GUI,DEN TEX T— Jeeus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy m ind.'T h is Is tho first; and great commandment. And the second Is Ilka unto It, Tiiou shalt love thy neighbor as th yself.—• Matt. 22:37-39 ■ N PRIMARY TOPIC—The Great Com ­ mandment. JUNIOR TOPIC— A Christian Patriot. INTERMED IATE AND SENIOR TOP­ IC— How to Be- a Good Citizen, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP­ IC—Christian Citizenship. The committee has made the lesson unit to embrace chapters 22 and 251, Objection tuny be offered to this be­ cause of the great scope pnd also the dissimilarity of material. It Is better to coniine the lesson to chapter 22:15- 22, 34-40. However, verses 1-14 pro-j vide the necessary, background from which to view the teachings of the! lesson, 1 The parable of the king’s 1 marriage feast stresses the necessity ; of a right relationship to God, which Is essential for a life of temperance 1 and good citizenship. | I. The Tribute Money (Vv, 15-22). 1. The subtle question (vv, 14-17). ‘ ■The Pharisees and Herodianspurposed to entrap Jesus and thus bring, him ‘ into 'conflict with the. Roman govern­ ment. Therefore they, enme to him ! with the subtle question, “ Is it lnwftil to give tribute to Caesar or not?" -To ; have answered this question hy either , “ yes” or “ no" would have involved difficulties. “ Yes" would have eon-, veyod the .Impression .of endorsement of all that the Roman government did. “ No” would have at once brought him into conflict'with the government. There are times when It is difficult for a Christian to determine his right re­ lation to' civil government. Some min­ isters have failed in their work be­ cause of their failure to solve this problem. 2. Christ’s reply (vv, 18-21). The principle set forth In this; reply when properly understood and applied Is the final word on the .Christian's relation­ ship to civil government. The obliga­ tion of the Christian citizen is to ren­ der obedience to civil authority in all matters which do' not violate God's law. “ Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s" means that within the realm of the rights of government '. the Christian should yield glad and free obedience. Christ’s answer not only sets forth the Christian's n’ la- , tlonship to government but also the 1 correct principles governing all lives. : Those enjoying 'the.'benefits of civil: governmdnt should support that gov- i eminent, and those enjoying the bless­ ings of God should render full al­ legiance to him. II. The First and Great Command­ ment In the Law (vv. 34-40), For the third time In one day the ■Lord was tried by hard questions. While these questioners were prompt­ ed by wrong motives, we /should be forever glad they were put to the Lord because of the Invaluable truths disclosed by his answers. 1. The Pharisees’ question .(vv. 34- 36). With a lawyer as their represent­ ative they asked which Is the great . commandment in the law. 2, Jesus’ answer (vv. 37-40). In this answer he summarized the law and set forth the sum/ total of a human responsibility. This embraces two commandments, a. The first commandment (Vv. 37. 38). "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, with all thy soul, and w)th all thy mind.’’ This means that supreme and undivided love to God Is tho first and great commandment. It shoWB that man’s | supreme obligation Is to God. It Is j utterly wrong to evaluate man’s char­ acter on the basis of his morality as - expressed In his relation to his fellow mnn. Real righteousness Is doing the right thing with God, h. The second commandment (vv. 39, 40), The second commandment Is like unto the first In thrt It centers In love. It Is not said that It Is equal unto the first, which would be untrue. A mnn tnny love himself but not su­ premely. The measure set Is love for self. We are under ohllgntlon to love God better tlinn ourselves because he Is the supreme one and worthy and demnnds all of our affection. The command to love our neighbor is In- j volved in the command to Iov& God. i To attempt to establish a brotherhood j among men without the recognition j of the Fatherhood of God is utter non-1 sense. Men become children of God hy faith In Jesus Christ. The only way to bring In the brotherhood of man Is to preach JesuB Christ to the -race and secure acceptance of him. Cleanse Each Step The stairs between us and our am­ bition may be smeared with filth or stained with blood, but we can avoid soiling our feet by cleansing eneb step ns we proceed. We need not wade through filth to win. Mental Discomfort All mental discomfort comes from our minds being In divergence from God’s ; when the two are agreed, no warfare occurs, for they work to­ gether.
