It will not surprise the reader that again the* President has got his facts wrong, and: that again he contradicts himself, for the text of the Con­ stitution beans throughout the impress of the trained legal mind, - For propf that the President is wrong, we turn to page 62 of a newly issued volume, and under the picture of James Madison, we find this notation: “ Lawyer, statesman.” We turn back to page 18 of the same book and find the following: “ Who were the fifty-five men who, in varying degrees, were the framers o f our National Constitution? . . . Thirty-four o f them ■were lawyers, or men who had at least studied the law, some o f them trained at the Middle Temple in London; o f these, six had been or were t o ‘be State attorney generals, five chief justices, o f , the. State Supreme Courts, four chancellors, three national judges and five justices o f the Supremo Court rtf the United, States o f • . whom onto, vfas to he chief justice.” The volume which is here cited to show that more than three-fifths of these men were lawyers, and. thereby to confute the President's claim, is entitled “ The Story of the Constitu­ tion.” Its author is Representative Sol Bloom, chairman of the meeting at.which Mr. Roosevelt mishandled history. The book was issued under the authority of the United States Constitu- tion Sesquicentennial Commission and bears its imprint, and— Gentle Rpaider, yes you have guessed it—the President himself is chairman o f the commission.-—Cincinnati Times Star, ' ROOSEVELT, BLACK AND THE KU KLUX KLAN The question before the American people should not he whether. Hugo Black, the. Roosevelt appointed associate justice o f the Supreme Court, and forced confirmation by the Demo­ cratic Senate on orders from the White House regardless of the reports at the time that Black was connected with the Klan, but what connection has Frainkiin B. Roosevelt with the Klan ? The appointment o f Black was the result of a deal between Roosevelt. Sen. LaFollette and Black, that the latter would be named to the high court and be a rubber stamp for the radicals and Communists in handing down court decisions. The question of Klan membership was raised in the Senate but the Southern Kluxer Democratic senators made open denials and debate was shut off by other senators on. orders from the White House. That Roosevelt and Black expected the charge to come ur cannot bo honestly denied by Roosevelt or any New Dealer Once confirmed on demand of Roosevelt, Black takes the oati of office secretly without the public’s knowledge, something m Other court justice ever did, and leaves at once for Europe Meantime Roosevelt plays possum with a strain of ignorance f o? public cloture that he knew nothing about Black and the Klan This statement is not born out by the facts, or else the head - o f the New Deal that boasts o f knowing everything else, hai double-crossed Democratic Senators from the north who are ’not Klansmen. * A little review o f the situation will convince anyone whether Roosevelt has been honest in his statement before he moves up his date for a trip through the West to he gone when Black comes home from Europe. Black comes from Alabama where the Klan is .Supreme ■ today and has been most of the time since the Civil War. Oscar ! Underwood was the only one that ever rose to public position in that state that did not belong to the hooded organization. As the state is solidly Democratic there is no denial but that the Klan is in control of politics in that state, yet Roosevelt says he knows nothing about it. Jim Farley to head off Al Smith in the early days of the Roosevelt campaign, made a truce With the Kleagle for Roosevelt support, and Jim, a “Catholic—*in open opposition then as today against a brother Catholic—Al Smith. Yet Roosevelt says he knows nothing about it. ' Black was an unobsecure small town lawyer in Alabama until a Methodist minister shot a Catholic priest .in the heat of a state campaign between the Klan and anti-Klan. Black de­ fended the minister and description of events of those days at the trial it looked as if Black would get the minister a gold medal for his act. And yet Roosevelt says he knows nothing about Black. Black won a police judgeship job as a result of his fame in freeing the minister of the murder-charge and became No. OhO Klansman in that state. Sen. Tom Heflin, Democratic Senator, and open defender o f the Klan, is now an open can­ didate for Black's senate seat. Gov. Bibb Graves, of the same Klan state, names his wife for the short term vacancy, and yet Roosevelt ssys he knows nothing about Black and the Klan. Newspapers over the country have been publishing Black’s speeches in the Klan days and southern papers are also ex­ posing the Klan connection, yet Roosevelt says he knows nothing About Black and the Klan. The Pennsylvania Klan with its cyclopaes, grand dragons, great titans, kludds, kladds, kleagles, heads o f the WPA, XYZ and other silly alphabetical combinations met last week-end and endorsed Black for the high court and Roosevelt as well, yet this modern dictator trying to imitate Hitler and Mussolini, Says he knows nothing about Black and the Klqn. Could there by any Chance be any connection between Franklin D. Roose­ velt and the Pennsylvania Klan as to a membership? The answer to it all can b# taken from an editorial from Gov. Cox’s Dayton NeWs, as well as a hundred other Demo cratic New Deal newspapers that have stood by Roosevelt, and it is none other than the mandate o f “ Black’s resignation,” Which Roosevelt will not And probably cannot do without loos­ ing his Klan support in the Democratic south. The wisest Democrat Who evidently did know what it was all about was Gov. Lehman of New York, a Jew, who broke with Roosevelt on the court packing plan and opposed con­ firmation o f Black, Yet Frankiin D. Roosevelt, who admits that he knowest all things, frankly states he did not know of Black's connection With the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama. In the face o f all this then, "What the h— - does he t o ' iggiaaMte WANTED—A Democratic lawyer that can draw one o f those” fine type contracts that do not mean what they say and do not say what they mean, such as Roosevelt, said lawyers form­ ulate on contracts and insurance policies.” The Roosevelt speech must have tickled .the Democratic lawyers almost to death; also it \yas a sharp thrust against the American Bar As­ sociation that has opposed court pack­ ing. • good |or a lo t di things, clothing, rope, picture film j»ut moat important in war—explosives. The Japs can getj guns in Germanyand we sell ’em the cotton in the name o f peace and utter disgust o f war, We asked a Springfield Democratic lawyer, Tuesday morning what chance there would be in getting him to draw one o f those “ tight-loose” contracts such as Roosevelt referred to last Fri­ day night. Much to our surprise we learned something new when he ans­ wered: Well, he (Roosevelt) has yet to have his first .major case in court.} Moreover, 1 can say I never was kick- j ed out of Columbia University law* school because I could not keep up with my class. The ice having been, broken, then we asked, “ How is the Clark’ County Democratic organiza­ tion and the Klan getting along these days since Roosevelt named a Klans- man on the Supreme .Court?” The answer was a slap on the shoulder and “ You, have asked enough ques­ tions already.” jgp This^bejng the time forjifiquiry we dropped iii -on a Springfield business map,* one fif the pbje"cts5*crfL r®tctile during the Klan KonqueW*in~ that county a few . years ago—a Jew. “What’s your slant on the appoint­ ment o f Klansman Black to the Supreme Court by Roosevelt?” His .answer, “ Why should my . people worry, we have Justice Brandies (a Jew) on the bench? . The laugh is on Democratic Catholics, and maybe they are not out in the cold?” 1 The county commissioners 'did the right thing in denying Xenia city the request for withdrawal from Xenia township, as requested by the Xenia C ity.Commission. Several cities in Ohio have been granted such rights but that does nojt always mean it is proper in breaking up our taxing dis­ tricts. The division o f the state .into :ounties, townships and municipalities has stood the test o f lime, and proved a plan that should not be abolished just because some city asked that right.;;?3Cen'd, might ,be saved the estimated $1,500 in’iaxfunds hut that is a small amounfc o f what the town­ ship has .paid that has benefited the city in many ways." The tendency not only in Ohio but other states, ev£n In the federal government, is Jo rhreak down anything that has to doi, with the political subdivisions o f jthe states and thus tie the hands of the rural people.

This special fast day. is to secure funds to provide storage houses fo r fruits, grain, etc., from the year o f plenty for the coming seven lean years. -.Moreover the church hend has ordered all members to no longer accept gov­ ernment aid in any form, and that those in need would be taken care of by the church.. Chairman Homer Henry of the Democratic Executive Committee who wrote a sad chapter on law enforce­ ment when he attempted to' bring im­ peachment proceedings against Sheriff George Henke), might spend a little time looking after his own flock, if we read the Springfield Sun correctly. A case in city police court before Judge Fred A , Wagner and a jury, brought the statement from Cabbie Walls, 36, that he had drank both legal and 11 legal liquor with C. L .‘ Seifert,,Day ton, district supervisor for the state department o f liquor control; also with Edward DeWino, Yellow Springs, department inspector, and L. E. Picic- rel, Springfield inspector. Walls said he had purchased illegal liquor from department employees. Walls was up oh a charge of transporting illegal liquor and gqt $50 for uncovering stills for state inspectors. DeWine is a member o f the Greene County Democratic Executive Committee. There is no heed o f worry over this country getting into war, especially the conflict between Japan nnd China.
