"FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1939 WHY MEN FISH ■ Why do men like to sit in a boat all day under a blistering sun dangling a line in the water in the hope that a fish will take their bait? , ? . Why are they willing to get up before dawn and fish into the mosquito-infested night? A psychology professor, who is also an ardent fisherman, answers these questions, which have puzzled nonfishers for a long time. , , , „ The attraction in fishing is its gamble, according to the professor. . , , , A real fisherman would soon tire of the sport, we are told by the same authority, if "fish bit every time he dropped a hook into the water. j buc it u«v*« A combination of hope, expectation and doubt keeps up his interest The psychologists call this "thwarting, with occasional success. —Detroit Free Press. AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY One of the historic buildings in Cin­ cinnati, Grand Opera House, the last word in splendor and Doric architect? ure is being rased to make way for a two-story picture show house. There are many even in Greene county that will remember the opening of this house having been rebuilt following a fire. The Grand opened with that col loasel spectabie “Ben Hur" and thou sands of people for miles around the city had the pleasure of seeing the Bibical drama. As compared with modern day architecture the Grand as it Btands today will outclass what will take its place just like the pest office building ip that city outclassed the barn-like new government build­ ing that cost several million. It ap pears ]}kp a stone with a lot o f windows and on the'lnterlor we find marble wails and cut-up offices that might be termed stalls. fingers up to the New Dealers in Washington and refuses to import American lard. For fifty years Germany has . given the American farmer his greatest market for lard Lard for the northern farmer and cot­ ton for the south, has been turned into millstones by the New Deal and the necks of these producers must carry the load.

Call 132 F 12, Cedarville, The people of the United States do not want any part of any war. That can be asserted as a definite, unchallengeable state ipent of fact. The people of the United States, as a whole, consider the quarrels of European nations with each other as no concern of ours. That is also a positive statement of fact. . The people of the United States are bitterly resentful of Japan’s armed invasion of ’China, but are far from being con­ vinced that it is our duty, therefore, to go to war with Japan. The people of the United States are, on the whole, sym­ pathetic with the European democracies, especially Britian and France, in any struggle to maintain the human liberties which we, also, cherish, in case those liberties are threatened from without. But the people of the United States are far from being convinced that those liberties, so far, are threatened; nor do most Americans believe that a threat to them is a threat to our own liberties. The. people of the United States are in pretty general agreement'that the conquest and colonization of any part of the American continent by any European or other foreign power might constitute a threat to our liberties, or at least require action on our part to defend the invaded' country, not in their particular interest but in our own; That is .the essence of the Monroe doctrine. The people of the United states believe that our surest pro­ tection against being drawn into any war is to build up our Navy, Air Force and Army to a point of efficiency .where no other nation would dare to make war against us. ■ The people of the United States believe that the less we meddle with foreign affairs and the more attention we pay to our own, the better off we will be, war or no war. ThC foregoing statements we believe to he as accurate a picture of the average American citizen’s views on war as can be put on paper. In a government of, by and for the people, they ought to be the guiding principle of the nation’s foreign policy. —Leesburg Citizen. DON'T BLAME THE BANKS The charge that there is inadequate bank credit at a time when the banks areoverflowing with capital, has puzzled many a thoughtful citizen. And the easiest thing to do is to call the . bankers a crew of hard-hearted shylock and accuse them of turning deaf ears to worthy applications for loans. . The truth of the matter, as Senator Barbour of New Jersey, recently pointed out, is that federal financing and spending are the main factors at fault, The banks have been virtually forced to invest their surplus accounts in government securities. They are, in the Senator’s word, “helpless.” There are, Senator Barbour continued, two possible solu­ tions. One is for the government to go whole-hog into the bank­ ing business, and thus subject the people’s money to the chang­ ing whim of politics. The other is for the government to “quit” borrowing and live within its means. The machinery of credit is well organized, well protected, except for federal inter­ ference with its proper functions, and able to serve the coun­ try adequately if released from the grip of its addiction to pub­ lic lending, for which the government itself is responsible.” No bank wants to refuse a loan—after all, loans keep banking a. ve, and build the community prosperity that is an essential corollary of bank prosperity. But a government policy which virtually forces billions of capital into government secur­ ities is hardly a stimulant to lending for private, productive pur­ poses. .Furthermore, the banker’s first responsibility is to his depositors-^-his own tried judgment, to say nothing of the law, compels him to insist on the highest conceivable standards of safety when he makes a loan. As the Chahtnan of the Board of the National City Bank, has said, “The idea that the way to prosperity is to make it easy for people to get into debt, does not stand the test of experience.” You blame the bankers all you like—but the fact remains that a large volume of private loans can be made only under a government policy that is encouraging to individual activity, instead of a policy that puts the government more and more into competition with its private citizens. Many of the greatest artists of the stage appeared behind the footlights of the Grand in its day. There were Dockstader, Lillian Russell, Richard Carle, George Arliss, John Drew and a score or more that could be named. Then mentioning the destruction of of the Grand, it is almost tragic when -we think of Julia Marlow and E. H. Southern in that delightful “When Knighthood was in Flower.” In those days you saw actors in the flesh. You heard their natural voices with the immations that cannot be duplicated on a.phonograph behind a white sheet as we term the talking picture. One was nature a t its best, the latest is artificial in every sense of the word. Uncle Sam^ a the largest real estate holder in the U. S. Besides he holds millions of bales of cotton in storage two and three years old; mil­ lions of bushels of corn and wheat. He has been forced through New Deal operations to take over several thou­ sand homes by foreclosure. .He has thousands of acres of farm land taken by the same process. He has thou-) sands of Democratic politicians col-, lecting rents and managing these j {(roporiies In ar1dtion to a corps of lawyers in the more populous coun-, ties to handle the legal, transactions^ The average loss on each home fore­ closure is $750. Legal coats and re­ pairs usually put the loss a t $1,000 on an average, Thirty per cent of. the homes are not rented or are not fit to be even repaired. So far 55,000 sales have been ordered and it has cost the. nation a loss of 56 million dollars, No bank, building and loan or corporation could stay on its feet if It did business on the plan of theHOLC. I Over in Clark county the Democrats endeavored to stage a comeback when a highway employee brought action for a hearing before the State Civil Service Commission. One case was called but the politician withdrew his action, when he could not get wit­ nesses to testify his way. The Re­ publican administration had the proof. Intoxication while on duty. Using highway machines to distribute poli tical advertising and hauling voters. Using highway men and material to improve driveways and lanes on private property for Democratic lead ers in the city and county. Since that hearing you hear no more complaints from those who were kicked off,their jobs. The government Ms a new plan fllr aiding recovery. The appointment of several thousand investigators in the country to check the names of all per­ sons dropped by WPA and see what these men are doing now. The Wash-- ington report says there are so many agencies handing out federal money and indications that a large part of it is being duplicated and that many, are on the receiving end twice each month. I If the New Dealers want to investi­ gate there are many places where pay dirt can he found and in Greene county. WPA, old-age pensions, chil­ dren’s aid, blind pensions, food re­ lief, job insurance checks and county aid are so mixed where political aid could be used the whole thing is a mere omelet. A check was made in West Virginia and the result was so astounding even the New Dealers would not give out the report, but the fellows that were living by gov­ ernment aid better than some tax? payers, have been divorced from their gravey.

GERRON FORD SERVICE Phone 8 The newspaper-graveyard received what veas left of-the. Portland, Qfe., News-Telegram, Monday, another act­ ive supporter of the' New Deal in that state. It was a Scripps League paper. Two Ohio papers belonging to that or­ ganization folded up the past year, one in Toledo and the other Akron. News dispatches last week carried stories of the TVA handing a check for 78 million dollars to the president of the Tennessee Light & Power Go., for its plant and lines in that state. It is about three times what was of­ fered for the plant eighteen months ago. Then the government offered enough to pay preferred stockholders but nothing for the common stock­ holders. Things have happened in Congress the past year. Southern congressmen and senators are not wearing the New Deal yoke as in the early days of the Roosevelt economic revolution. To help keep the south sweet the New Dealers bid higher. In fact it was the highest price ever paid for a utility plant in the history of the country. The company owning' the plant will distribute the mnoey to stockholders. The company had been paying to local subdivisions and the state taxes each year amounting to $2,800/100. This sum will be lost to counties and schools in that state as the New Deal does not pay taxes on government property. Did the state win or lose? Tennessee has a state law that forbids municipalities ‘hav- ing power plants. Everybody must take TVA whether they like it or not Springfield hdd a first class robbery in one of the leading downtown stores sometime early Sunday morning, Rob­ bers must have known the lay of all property. No windows or doors were tampered with due to burgular alarms, A hole was cut in a rear brick wall to the third floor, Another was cut through another wall to the second floor and an open stairway gave access to the first floor. Glothing of the lead­ ing branda and furnishings amounting to $0,000 was taken. The loot was hauled away in a small truck according to wheel tracks in an alley, The night watchman on the square tis well as police must have Men taking advantage of the cool night to catch Up on their sleep. Most farmers in this section have made up their mind that the New Deal is going to give them a real taste of five cent hogs during the next three or four months. Importation of Polish meat continues each week and it under sells American pork irt price in all Eastern markets. Threats of the GIO strike against packers adds to market troubles and with ten million unem­ ployed the retail outlet for pork is very limited. To add more trouble Germany has turned her nose and five Hitler drove the biggest bargain of his career this week when he won over Joseph Stalin, and Russia, in a peace pact, This treaty leaves England out on the end of limb for both ex­ pected Russia to come their way. Poland is now helpless and in time ‘ may fall to Germany! It is another victory for Hitler without war and Tuesday reports indicate that both the English and French cabinets wili fall. It may appear to the average* citizen that the New Deal billions for war. abroad may yet be useless. John L. Lewis and his CIO are not the only labor organizations having trouble. William Green and his AFL have their grief. This week the lat­ ter organization suspended-the Inter­ national Typographical Union because it would not pay dues of one cent per month per month into the war chest to fight the CIO. The printers have about 80,- 000 paying members and according to Green owe the AFL about $20,000. The printer’s refuse to M bound by the order. Charles Howard, once an honored member and for years presi­ dent of the Typo organization tried to lead his members into the CIO but lost out in his effort He was, defeated for president and died of a broken heart. The Typo Union is probably the freest of union racketeers of any such organization in the country. Pension Signatures (C ontinued F rom F irst P age ) Albcrhalter, W. E. Smisshers, W. M.
