Such a change as pro­ posed is wrong in principle and would draw hell-fire from Democrats if the same was proposed by a Republican president or congress. Regardless of .whatever reason given by Roosevelt for a change it must be discounted for many reasons, most of which are supported by measurement of his temperment and attacks on the .court in the past. The question that faces the people today is whether the Supreme Court, as well as some lower courts must be subject to dictation from, the vWhitehouse, whether Roosevelt is an occupant or John L. Lewis, who in labor circles is touted as Roosevelt’s successor, on a deal for labor support during the last presidential campaign. However when it comes to the appointing power we would have trouble discriminating just what difference there would be in the Caliber of the appointees whether by Roosevelt or Lewis. Both would select nothing more than stool pigeons to do their bid­ ding. Once a court was padked by Roosevelt what would hinder the Townsend pension supporters, Ku Klux, or some other group, for instance the Republicans, doing the same thing. No more than the Roosevelt precedent would be necessary. The contest between Lewis and Green for control could be settled by control of the Supreme Court. It is certain that if Roose­ velt is granted power to pack the court the prohibition or dry measures are sure to meet certain death. There is no question but that Roosevelt covets not only legislative but judicial power. Endowed with an “Ego" such as can be found in few men in public life, he regards his ability superior to that of the members of his own political party, be­ cause he not only had the proposed bill drafted but gave definite orders to his political puppets to. pass it. If congress heeds this command we have lost what has been an impartial judiciary, independent in thought and action. With some members of the present court named as Demo­ crats in years past, to get around any political question, Roose­ velt uses the age limit of 70 years to do his dirty work. There are but three things under the New Deal that are the objective of the proposed court change; Communistic legislation, giving union labor power over industry as well as. non-union labor and forever legal status of liquor, using the courts to check the growth of prohibition. Let the adminstration win the control of courts, along with union labor and the liquor interests and you have signed away the title to your home or farm. Radio is now under control of the New Deal and is no longer free from dictation by the administration branches. With the, packed court the freedom of the press goes as Roosevelt tried to force by license under the damnable NRA. But to bring the Supreme Court situation down to present day events, what has hastened the Roosevelt proposal is the “sit-down strike” court decision favorable to General Motors. With a Roosevelt-Lewis Court industry would be wiped out with a president directing a verdict with his left hand and writing an order with his right hand that w;ould send the regular army into a plant to back union labor that was in con­ trol of private property. To many Roosevelt is aping Mussolini, who dominates all three branches of the Italian government. The Ohio river flood j/!t Louisville was probably covered by more news­ paper men than any other similar event in the history .of the country. It happened that the Kentucky Press Association was holding its annual convention at the time and before the newspaper boys and girls realized the danger it was too late to make an exit from that city. A large delega­ tion of publishers were trapped in one of the prominent hotels and had the experience of dark and cold rooms with littel to eat over a period of several days. SOME MERIT TO WATER CONTROL PROPOSALS The enormous waste of public funds in the past in a feeble effort to control flood water is no different than the waste of a billion dollars before we knew just what was required and how our highways should be built to withstand the needs of auto and truck traffic. The control of flood water nearer the source of our streams seems to have more merit than any proposition now under con­ sideration. The higher the water up stream the more the damage certain such as Pittsburgh experienced last year and Cincinnati and Louisville, with towns between, passed through the past two weeks. The waste in funds might be mentioned in reference to the protecting wall erected at Portsmouth where, water rose more than twelve feet over it. Cairo with the same kind of a wall had to increase its heighth with sand bags. Farther south a government levy just recently completed had to be dynamited to give Cairo relief. * As we follow the flood water-down stream there is no rush due to the greater depth of the Mississippi river as well as its Width. At points on the west side of the river it can overflow and widen out for miles. This happens at various places down the river and aids in protecting New Orleans from a sudden rise such as is experienced up the Ohio. It would be more of a impossibility to have a flood at New Orleans than in Cincin­ nati for the former city has by experience in the past given the river greater Opportunity to widen out withbut damage. Storage of water at the source is a form of worthwhile con­ servation and no doubt would in the end have a bearing on our climate, eliminating drouths by a higher percentage of moisture in the night air. Hundreds of miles of low land along the Mississippi river could be made into a second channel to carry surplus water. This land could be retimbered and should revert’back to the government. It has been suggested and no doubt feasible that the cheapest thing the government could do to protect Louis­ ville Would be to cut a new channel above the city several miles and let it empty miles below the city. There is more common sense in this suggestion than that of Roosevelt’s plan to cut a canal across Florida, which the people of that state strongly oppose. rather sound trust companies, issued an order that more money in banks 1 must be “froze" to hold down credit. With many banks the order will re­ quire thirty-three and one-third per cent of the banks funds to be turned over to the Federal Reserve Bank. This makes it easy for the New Deal to play in the* bond market. There would be littier or no market for gov­ ernment bonds if it were not for the government using the Federal Reserve funds to purchase more government bonds. With a hand picked Supreme Court of the Emma Goldman and Trosky type there is little reason w ., anyone should want to invest mone. in a bank at thiB time. No one c~ tell what government bonds will . for when the government stops buy its o'gm onds to bolster the marke.. A publisher of a string of papers in a Western state took an airplane to Washington on a hasty mission in behalf of the dairy interests in his state. He called on the highest mogul of the “Ag” department of. the present day monarchy, and related his .story but was soon informed the department vas not interested in his story or those he represented. Just at present a new child is about to he born and known as the consumer-cooperative. i'he old cow as well as the owner is to be permitted to take care of them­ selves. Importation of dairy products will continue to hold down prices. This publisher who is known from coast to coast through his connection .vith the national organization, stopped in Columbus last Thursday ™d we "heard him relate his experi­ ence. “It is i case of the chickens coming home to roost” with him for a Democrate he has. been and his string of papers was the mouth piece of the New Deal early in the Roose­ velt- campaign. Being not only dis­ appointed but having his toes stepped on; this publisher went to one of his Senators, who he knew personally. Again his story was repeated hut the Senator, a Democrat, threw , up his hands in dispair with, the statement," “there is nothing we can do, “our (the Senate) hands are tied at the White- house.” The situation ,was also ex­ plained to a Southern Senator, who remarked, “It is wrong but I know of nothing you or I can do.” In a gathering last Friday the Western publisher mourned over the plight of his party which he predict­ ed, had been ruined and the worst was that the principle of “states rights” had been wiped out by one who hal been nominated and first elected as a Democrat but who now seeks to di vert the party and all that it -uis stood for in the past, to his personal views. He deplored the attitude of Congress in placing so much power in Roosevelt’s hands. When, asked as to how he viewed the present demand for executive control of the Supreme Court, he exclaimed,- "A crazy idea from .'one drunk with political power.” ■<r *A* Cincinnati has been regarded one of the wet spots in the country when you consider the liquor question. The flood came and with it dictatorial powers were granted by the city com­ mission to the city manager as an emergency measure. One of the first, acts of the city manager was to close all stores selling liquor. Later all re­ tail stores had to be closed as there was neither electric light, power or water. The Portsmouth city manager forbid the sale of liquor as an emer­ gency to guarantee protection to the city residents. And yet the state opens retail liquor stores to sell some­ thing officials forbid sold claiming it dangerous to the peace and safety of the city. « The perfect sit-down strike evident­ ly would be as suggested by a former New Dealer some days ago. Beta; provoked by the attitude of the gov ernment in backing employees thai were not only conficating property, but inflicting damages to buildings and motor car materials, this New Deal­ er makes the following proposal, which plainly illustrates how impor­ tant a sit-down strike really is: He suggests that all the maids and butlers as well as porters in the White House, some twenty—or -more, each pick out a toilet and be seated. If there are not enough of the latest in sanitation articles, the White House employees could take turns. Under the terms of the Wagner labor act no one dares to lay hands on a striker, a stand-upper or a sit-downer, not even the President of the United States. With the hired help occupy­ ing all the places of advantage, and It being a square or more to any of the neighbors, the sit-down strike might have a new meaning in the Roosevelt household. We have queried not only many plain citizens, bath Republican and Democratic on the Roosevelt proposal to pack the Supreme Court. Attorneys, physicians, merchants, bankers and farmers, all seem to be about of one mind, that packing a court is a dangerous precedent. There is a dif­ ference of opinion about the retire­ ment of judges who reach the age of -JO years. More than - a, score of citizens have been. asked for on opinion here and in.Xenia, and strange to say but two approve of Roosevelt's plan. All agree that the next presi­ dent could follow Roosevelt’s plan and stack the court another way, making it a joke. What the country needs most is for a full publication of a will left by an elder Roosevelt. Being a royal eco­ nomist of his day, he. died much too soon. He died not knowing or even fully realizing th a t‘within the family was a son unsurpassed as a financier; endowed with the wisdom of a metalologist who knows more about the value of gold than any person in the world; having been bom with a silver spoon in his mouth he is an expert on that metal; knows more a- kout building motor cars and battle ships than Henry Ford or navy en­ gineers; could have enlightened Web­ ster in writing the dictionary; made William Jennings Bryan, the great commoner and1Woodrow Wilson, the educator, feel like a couple of school kids that had failed in class exaniina tion; all of which goes to show that even parents sometime go wrong when they leave the family fortune for ad ministration by a trust company, thus breeding in a son contempt for courts and judges. . SUMMERSCHOOL ENDORSED BY COLLEGEBOARD The semi-annuak meeting of the Board of Trustees of Cedarville Col­ lege was held last Friday afternoon. Several important recommendations were considered as part of President McChesney’s report. One calls for the increase of seven members of the board of trustees and another en­ dorses a summer school a t the end of the college year. The present board comprises fifteen members and action to increase the membership will be de­ cided at the annual meeting. Certain recommendations were con­ sidered dealing with the teachers’ training school. Detail of the require­ ments of the Department ofaEduca­ tion was made by Prof. A. J. Hostetler. Business Manager, John L. Dorst, gave his report and also read the re­ port of the treasurer, S. C. Wright, who was unable to be present. Dr. M. I. Marsh, vice president, presided in the absence of Dr. Fred­ rick McMillan, Cincinnati, . who was unable to attend. Preceding the business session, the trustees participated in services Fri­ day morning at the Cedarville Presby­ terian Church in observance of the an­ nual “Day of Prayer for Colleges.” The high school and college united for this service and the sermon was delivered by Rev. J. R. Miller, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, Xenia. Trustees present included: Dr. Marsh, Dr. F. A. Jurkat, Cedarville; Prof. A. J. :Hostetler, Dayton, who gave a report on • the elementary teacher’s course; Dr: W. D, Harriman, Dayton; Rev. R. ,W. Ustick, Spring- field; William R. Collins, Columbus; Dr. William R. Graham, Lafayette, Ind.; Dr. W. H. Tilford, Xenia; Wil­ liam Conley, S. Frank Creswell, George* H. Hartman, Walter C. Iliff and J. Lloyd Confarr, all of Cedarville.

MERLE FURMAN, Manager There is a very good reason a l present why any man with either good sense or plenty of money, or both, would not be interested in investing in any kind of a bank. The million­ aire play-boys from Fifth Avenue who think it is smart to use the people’s money to purchase all the gold in the world and then plant it in a million dollar vault deep in the ground down in Kentucky are not convincing the thinking man that such a policy is correct, First they told you gold should not be the standard of value for the dollaiv Then the New Deal­ ers offered $35 an ounce for all the gold they could get a t the very time the world price was slightly over $20 an ounce. The more money that goes to Mexico, England - and other countries for their gold the less we have for circulation in this country. 24 E. MAIN ST. SPR1NGFIED, O.

B f VVISf - VI KM I / f Tells About Changes In Ohio Agriculture Automobile* Replace Horae*, Hen* Give Up Job* a* Moth­ ers and Lay More Eggs Mr. A. B. Graham, Washington, D. C., former director of agricultural ex­ tension work in Ohio, in reviewing changes that have taken place; in agri­ culture in the past 25 years, says it is almost impossible to realize the forward studies that have been taken. Mr. Graham said, “In. Ohio, auto­ mobiles, trucks, tractors, and internal combustion engines have become such a recognized part of the power field that we do not remember that 310,- 000 horses have been displaced and that the acres formerly devoted to producing feed for horses now must be used" for other purposes. Modern equipment has changed the dary in­ dustry almost as much. “Twenty-five years ago, farm wo­ men of Ohio were making 63,000,000 pounds' of butter each year. The pro­ duction of butter on the farm in 1930 was less than 6,000,000 pounds. Going back 25 years again, we find that Ohio farmers marketed about 8,000,000' pounds of cream as butterfat and in 1930 this amount had increased to 45,- 000,000 pounds. “In horticulture, generalization has yielded to specialization. Extremely large orchards that grew a variety of apples are passing or have passed from the scene because insect and disease pests so asserted themselves that special care was necessary to combat them, The number of apple varieties as well as the acreage or or­ chards has been reduced. “The old hen has had to confine the expression of her motherly instincts to laying the egg and let the artificial mother hatch and brood them. Ohio produces more than 20 per cent more eggs now than in 19i0. Really, the poultry business has risen from a by­ product on many farms to an im­ portant phase of the whole farm pro­ duction. “There has been developed a new educational system, the agricultural extension service. In the universities and colleges the professors claim the privilege of flunking the students, but in the extension service the farm men they cannot find practical answers to and women flunk their professor* if problems given to them. The extension service in Ohio now has 68 county agricultural agents, quite a change since the start of the work when there were agents only in Geauga and Ma­ honing counties. There are 22 home demonstration agents in the state but the first one began work in Mont­ gomery county in 1916, “Life is. not Btablo and in order to live in keeping with our ever vacil­ lating conditions, we must change our­ selves. We dare not tie ourselves to the traditional past, we dare ,not al­ low ourselves to die a t 30 and be buried a t 60.
