It will be. a sad day in this country i f it shall come about that the nation is governed by one party, and if no longer is there a struggle on the part of any minority to become the majority, A t the same time, there are occasions when patriotism should rise above party, and Americanism above partisanship. Fundamentally, it seems to be quite sure, most Americans agree, but there are particulars and details on which they do not agree. In essentials, therefore, no difference o f opinion should arise- The Constitution, the ideals o f our people in all these years and our republican form o f government are ques­ tions on which men and women o f all parties may, and, indeed ought, to be united. . Bennett Clark, son and successor o f that great champion o f democracy, Champ Clark, has, it is generally conceded, taken his political life in his hands to oppose— and that with vigor— the Roosevelt Supreme Court scheme. He spoke out with determination when he declared that plan to be wrong and to be productive o f evils. He also declared that the emergency is over, and that there should be a return to basic ideals. Bennett Clark is a Democrat, a Missouri Democrat at that He has been true to his'Democratic principles. He has gone, too, down the line with supporters o f the Roosevelt policies so long as he could do so without helping to put the Constitu­ tion in danger, i - ■ He is a young man in politics, \yith a future before him There is no indication that he .has any idea o f becoming a Republican or o f leaving the historic party which his father so long and capably served. Rather, he is tired o f seeing that party prostituted to policies and practices which are far re moved in intent, purpose and consequence from the historic principles and actions o f Jeffersonian democracy.' But in taking the attitude he has taken he becomes, inevitably, the target of Mr. Roosevelt and o f the New Dealers in.general and in par­ ticular. He certainly will be listed by these as anti-admin istration, which, in New Deal interpretation, means that he is an out-and,out political heretic. Bennett Clark understood before he made his speech what its results politically might and probably would mean. But he had the courage and the patriotism to unburden himself, and to take a definite stand, regardless of. cost. He is now numbered with other Democratic senators who have spoken out fearlessly against the Court change. , He and his associates have put patriotism above partisan­ ship, country above party, honesty o f conviction above servility and sycophancy. The nation has-need o f many more such high- minded citizens! — Ohio State Journal. A little Chinese girl was carrying a chubby ,boy on her back. “ Is he heavy?” somebody asked. “ No,” was the reply, “ he is my brother.’ ’ There are duties which are pleasures, there are tasks carried through with a right good will, there are deprivations and hardships cheerfully endured. And all because there is enthusiasm or affection, idealism or devotion, patriotism or consecration in the toil or hardship. ROOSEVELT’S AMEN CORNER Being in full accord with the New Deal for,the Social Security Program sponsored by Franklin D. Roosevelt, as .well as the AAA and Soil Conservation programs; We, the undersigned, being recipients of federal aid, desire to publically pledge ourselves to give financial and moral support that farm labor can enjoy the fruits o f this pro­ gram along with industrial labor. , The labor union standard o f $7.00 a day havirig been given approval by the administration, under federal legislation, just declared constitutional by the highest court, we feel that .farm labor should receive a minimum of $3.50 a day and be guaranteed employment 250 .days each year with free rent and such other gratuities as have been customary with farm labor in the past.

Columbus, Ohio Vic Donahey, Pres. Carl Crispin, Sec’y. 6 . H. HARTMAN, Local Representative, Cedarville, Ohio The Duffey coal price fixing bill is now a law having been signed Mon­ day by Roosevelt. Tuesday the King wrote Vice President John L. Gamer opposing a price Axing bill now under consideration in the Senate, as another means o f forcing up the cost o f living. When the Duffey coal bill gets in operation up goes the price of coal. The new high union wage scale for miners goes into effect May 1, Higher. freight rates are under consideration. This also will add to the cost of coal. To defend the rights ■o f miners, .coal operators and consumers Roosevelt appoints John L." Lewis, head o f the coal miners union, with five other members of the board to fix coal prices. In one breath price fixing is illegal, in the next it is legal, especially when John­ ny Lewis writes the ticket for the Chief Executive. The death of W. Forbes' Morgan, New York, relative of the Roosevelt household, who died of heart trouble in Columbus, cut short his service as president o f the Distilled Spirits Institute, a liquor organization. Morgan served about a month and was to get an annual salary o f $100,000 a year. The organization was formed to keep contact between the liquor-in­ terests and the Roosevelt administra­ tion, Morgan being related. Once more floods over run river hanks and drive out residents as well as business that persists on camping ‘n the danger zone. Ninety-five per cent of the people in Cincinnati forced out by the flood in January are back in the same quarters ready for the next flood. We talk much of flood protection, the building of dams and changing the course o f streams, but the solution is easily solved by moving to higher ground, The river was there first. Man can do many things to control the elements b,ut man is not infallible. Consequently some day the water will once more seek its own level taking all that man has done before it. Science has done much but floods have also writ­ ten on the pages of history—the weakness of man as compared with the power behind the elements. A newspaper man of renown not only in Ohio but over the central states spent two weeks investigating the New Deal down in Washington He returned last week and we heard him relate many interesting events while the New Dealers remake the nation. The inner circle o f the ad ministration is frantic and things are not running smooth by any means. The brain trusters no longer trust each other. Southern senators and .congressman are making dangerous ,threats to upset, certain legislation of the New Deal if the anti-lynching law reaches the White House and gets the presidential endorsement. Al­ ready one congressman from the south wulkcd into a prominent office unannounced and bodly stated that if the anti-lynching law was approved there would be an explosion in the “ cash and carry” department operated by a brother o f a prominent presi­ dential appointee that deals in patron­ age. With the Supreme Court pack­ ing plan in doubt and the balanced budget out of the question. The New Deal has plenty of trouble in its own ranks and the King once more goes fishing in southern waters to forget administration troubles. Down in Cincinnati a glazier em­ ployed by the board of education ask­ ed for membership in the glass work­ ers’ union. An examination for en­ trance was held and the union turned dowit ’ the applicant as a “ poor prospect,” The applicant was asked as to his polities and he said “ Re­ publican,” This was enough to “ fail” him for admission. New Deal Demo­ crats have the best chance for union admission-—without examination. The “ No New Tax” group of con- sistant and conservative Democrats, in the Ohio legislature, under the lead­ ership of Lieut, Gov. Paul P. Yoder, ever mindful o f the campaign slogan, “ No New Taxes,” have fought not only for a party pledge but in the in­ terest of abstract economy. With-Gov. Davcy and his supporters piling up a 177 million appropriation bill with “ New Taxes” it has fallen the lot of Lieut. Gov, Yoder to present a pro­ gram that will care for all state re­ quirements this year and next with a saving of five million or more under what Gov. Davey asks. The New Deal Democrats in Wash­ ington want more tax revevnue and propose a federal lottery. The Davey- crats in Ohio suggest ft state lottery to provide revenue. Monday Roose- j velt issues a warning prohibiting ! federal office holders from gambling in the stock market. Months ago |Congress passed n law providing for ) a New Deal commission to control ' the stock -exchange and issue o f se­ curities to make promoters honest and protect investors so they could not loose. No\V the King bars govern­ ment employees from gambling in a market controlled by a New Deal Commission, Gosh! What a fog en­ velopes official Washington? Gold is worth about $20 an ounie in the world market but under the , New Deal it is priced at $35 an ounce J so Uncle Sam continues to borrow money to purchase all gold that is offered. Russia sent $200,000,000 in gold to England to be resold to this country. ' Canada and even far off Africa sent gold here because it is worth $15 more an ounce here than anyother place. The government pays the banker interest on the borrowed money to pay for the gold and then the golden "metal is hurled in the ground in vaults in Kentucky where it costs several thousand dollars each month to pay for guards. It is great sport to be in a position to spend other people’s money. The wise man is taking no chance but is ordering his coal for next winter this month. May first coal goes up due to the Roosevelt Duffey bill, the increase in pay for miners, And an increase in freight rates if f.he pay o f railroad trainmen is in­ creased. To all this must be added the cost o f the social security ex­ pense to coal companies. Then your local dealer has to pay for all this pnd pass it on to the .consumer with local taxes, cost o f social security for local employees, etc. This is what Roosevevlt calls prosperity while the family drags down some half million for various activities, all o f which means a fatter purse. High prices for coal will not disturb the honest to goodness New Deal exhorter, he will pay the increase without a whimper—if he is on government or 3tate payroll. Court settlement o f the estate of Mrs. Talbott, Dayton, financial spon­ sor o f the Westminister Choir, shows that it was necessary to set.aside cer­ tain stocks to the value o f $60,000 to care for the inheritance tax. The de­ ceased all through her life had given generously of her wealth to aid others yet following her death the greedy hand o f the tax collector reaches in for a large slice, This case recalls the recent death of a wealthy Xenia lady who left moBt all her estate to relatives. The family had long been residents o f the county and supported many causes, however the family pocketbook was never left on the front step as the never-work- ers thought it should be. It is esti­ mated that thr federal and state in­ heritance tax for. this estate will ■each $250,000, o f which more than $100,000 Will go to Xenia City. Some years ago the surviving lady o f this family was asked by a very close friend if she would be interest­ ed in making generous gift for an en­ dowment fund for a worthy cause. What do you suppose was her reply? “ It has been my observation that too frequently trust funds are manipu­ lated for most any cause the authority in charge wishes. A trust fund no longer has the support o f this courts as it once hnd, and board's in charge of gift funds have no hesitancy in diverting the gift to whatever use they see fit, regardless o f the wishes of the deceased.” The lady’s will so far as we know left nothing to any en­ dowment fund for any purpose. THEATRE NOTES . Romance runs rampant, adventure has its fling and love conquers all in the delightful new M-G-M comedy melodrama, “ Love on the Run” which comes to the Cozy screen Saturday night. Teaming those two exhilarat­ ing and colorful personalities, Joan Crawford and Clark Gable, in a dash­ ing tale, of modern doings by ultra­ modern people the new picture pro­ vides excitement and laughter in ah entertainment melange o f an heiress, a fortune-hunting nobleman, two American correspondents and a brace of European crooks. The winning of the West during the decade 1866-76 is the basis of Cecil DeMille’s first American epic, “ The “ The Plainsman,” a tribute to the hard-riding, hard-fifhting men o f ac­ tion who opened the West for. im­ migration, which begins May 2 at the Cozy Theatre. ' “ The Plainsman,” named for “ Wild Bill” -Hickok, the famous plainsman, tells o f the love Hickok bore the fron­ tier beauty and woman-of-oction, “ Calamity Jarie.” Gary Cooper plays Hickok and Jean Arthur portrays “ Calamity Jane,” the first time the handsome pair have been together since “ Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.” Be­ hind this story stretches a vast canvas which embraces all the forces and intrigues at work during the era which resulted in the opening o f the West and the building o f America.

HOME CULTURE CLUB ENJOYS MUSIC PROGRAM ed in u vocal duet, “ Morning.” Mr.! trot., played a violin solo, “ Aiiora-j lion” and the program closed with a vocal duet, ‘‘A Perfect Pay,” sung by Mra. Corry and Mr. Frock. A social hour followed the program and refreshments were served by Mrs. Trumbo. Miss Lillie Stewart, o f Columbus, attended the funeral o f Mrs. S. T, Baker, last Friday. V.'cra Alberts In lha nineties," most United States senators wore Prlnc* Alberts. The frock coat was a sym­ bol o f statesmanship and a beard was the mark of a man of maturity stnd substance. Watches Once Small Clock* Watches originally were small clocks and were worn hung from the girdle because they were too large for the pocket. The Home Culture Club was enter­ tained at the home o f Mrs. Cora Trum­ bo last Thursday afternoon. The pro­ gram was o f a musical nature in as much as National Music Week opens May 2, and was under the direction it Mrs. Walter Corry, West Jefferson, formerly o f this place and a member of the club. Seventeen members and ten guests responded to roll call with names of composers, after which Mrs. Corry presented Mr. Marion Frock and Mrs. Bertsyl Faris, of Springfield, as gueBt artists. Mr. Frock sang two solos, “ Come to the Fair,” and “ A Brown Bird Singing” and Mrs. Faris, organist at the Christian Congregational Church, Springfield, played a piano solo, “ C^ld Fashioned Music Box.” Mrs. Corry and Mr. Frock then sang two duets, “ Rose o f My Heart” and “ I Feel Thy Angel Spirit.” Mr. Frock, who also is a talented violinist, played “ The Rosary," by Nevin, accompanied by Mrs. Faris. . A clever number, “ Fiddle and I” was then presented by Mrs. Corry, Mrs. Faris and Mr. Frock.
