James Cox’s Payton News gives thumbnail diplomatic sketches of the European nations now at war and calls atten- ion to the fact these reminders should' aid us in keeping our heads. The News says it is not for or against any nation invol­ ved and is without emotional partianship in taking the stand it has. Congress has now been called in session to repeal the neu­ trality act. If Roosevelt is so insistant in his plea that we are not going to be drawn into the war, why then does he want a law repealed that ties his hands on mixing in affairs abroad? All the facts are not on the surface in connection with the call­ ing of Congress in session. From the first outbreak of trouble Roosevelt has sided with England and France. The nation has a right to know of the secret treaty with England and what it contains. The fact that the.same influences are now surrounding the White House and Congress that had a prominent part in the World War and influenced the late Woodrow Wilson to back 'up on his prografn “ He kept us out of war” , makes the future position of this country a bit uncertain. Wilson fell for the pleadings of a well-known financier, of international fame, a Jew that played England and France against the U. S, Now we find this same personage active with the New Deal administra­ tion, as a consultant on the war situation. From a political view we could wish nothing more for the end of the New Deal is in sight. This same person traded Wilson off. He double crossed Herbert Hoover in the wheat deals of the food administration. He fooled Calvin Coplidge on foreign affairs and he is out now to sell the administration another war with the promise that “ once more democracy must be saved” to keep the powder mills and gun factories running full blast seven days a week. It is generally believed that the Jewish personage has found a willing buyer at the head of the New Deal. This much is certain the manufacturers have found it necessary to go on the air to explain their position. They are for neutrality and not for repeal, even though selfish manuff cturers of war. supplies ''asg clammering for repeal. The Daytbn News editorial is worth your sincere considera­ tion. The News is a defender of much of the New Deal ideals but so far it has found no place to defend or demand repeal of the neutrality act passed by. the last congress. The sketch gives you'an unbiased history of the countries now involved in the present conflict. None of the youngmanhood of this nation will carry a gun on foreign soil if we stay at home and mind our own business. To be sure of that we must insist on .holding to the present neutrality act, the same,act Roosevelt asked congress to pass six years ago. The following is the record: GERMANY— Spent from 1919 to 1913 complaining against the treaty of Versailles and trying to evade many- of its provisions.

It has been hinted for some time that the Democratic vote would be light as the German element in the city had turned away from that ticket duo to the activity o f the party in power in Washington. Attorney General* ThomaB J. Her­ bert handed down an opinion which ruled o ff .the ballot the civil service referendum sponsored by the state Democratic organization. A suit was brought in Franklin county courts to enjoin the Secretary o f State from taking action to rule o ff the referen­ dum petitions. The secretary report­ ed that several thousand names were illegal, many petitions were not qual­ ified to by a notary public, many names written by soft lead pencil in­ stead o f indelible or ink, This week Gov. Bricker named the third member o f the Civil Service Board as required under the new law, acting on belief ! the law was in effect as no referen-- ; du'm had been filed on the required ' date. Immediately the Attorney Gen- i eral filed a friendly suit in Supreme j Court on the appointment to get the ! issue settled by the highest court at i once.

If the Bricker 'administration has not given the- two main state prisons ft house-cleaning, it has not been be­ cause an effort was not made. The Ohio pen at Columbus was found to be infested with liquor runners, dope peddlers and runners for all kinds of gambling from numbers, prize-fights to race-horses, A great yelp went up when the administrtaion let the air in on the remnants of the Democratic management and changes were made. During the month o f August there were fourteen “ walk-a-ways" from the London prison farm. For months the stories that emulated from that in­ stitution were almost unbelievable and when a change was suggested up went a loud wail from Democratic quarters. Why 'should' the Bricker administra­ tion let these reports go unheeded'.' In the London cleanup here is what the authorities found: sawed-off* shot gun arid a .32-caliber revolver; liquor and dope and a “ peck of knives” . Henry Fcird says it is the munition manufacturers that want the neutrality act repealed for profits. Six years ago Roosevelt asked for a neutrality act to keep this nation out-of war. The last Democratic congress passed such an act. Since then a ‘mem­ ber of the Roosevelt household marries into the Du Pont mil­ lions, the largest manufacturers of war material in the world, , The ‘‘Thanksgiving Turkey" issue started by FDR has not only met ser­ ious opposition, from people who have a conscious feeling that such a day cannot be shifted at will, at least not until the people can have a voice. That the voice is being heard today there is no mistake. New York.City the home o f’ FDR when he stops bn Fifth Ave., with Mother Roosevelt, backs up and will not accept- the new Thanksgiving date. For New York it. will be Nov. 30 says Mayor Laguardia, who lias a New Ileal record almost as good as that of any U. S. Cabinet member. The Mayor may want anew, bridge or nore relief money from Uncle Sam but he will take his chances.of winning the' ill-will of FDR rather than have six million people at his door. quences is too tragic nnd too devast­ ating to be approached from anything hut a purely American standpoint. We should never enter a war unless it it; absolutely essential to the future vvel- • fare of our nation.” How then could the public feel after reading such a plea? IIow can Congress turn a deaf ear to the thousands even though the makers o f shot and shell .fill the air daily urging support of the New Deal plan to repeal the neutrality act as ' ho first step to'put us into the foreign mixup from which we as a people can gain nothing? ' . . "The Rains Came" Gov. A. B. “ Happy” Chandler of Kentucky says ‘ ‘ that since the days of Abraham Lincoln the last Thursday in November.has been designated as Thanksgiving” day in that state. He sees no reason for disturbing the peace or tranquility of the social and business lives of- that state with, such a controversy and to keep- peace he sets November 30th as Thanksgiving day in that state. Those who witnessed the display of war equipment when the seventh bri­ gade, mechanized, of the U. S. army, .as it passed through hare some weeks ago, now fully realize what it was all about. The mother of two boys of draft age from a local Democratic family asks us this week why this country, with England and France, •hold up Germany to scorn for building war plans years ahead, when this na­ tion is doing the same thing. She has the idea that if there was not somuch planned ahead; except for self pro- 'ebtion, there would be less chance of war. This mother has nothing to fear if we all stand for the present neu­ trality act,‘ but if repeal takes place the coming session of Congress,- most anything can happen. The display of war, equipment over the country has not excited the American people as was to be expected in Washington or at Buckingham Palace, London. - England built a great, floating boat lo transport airplanes and service them in mid-ocean >. during warfare. A German U-boat sank, the English vessel this week with 1,100. men on ooiird and only about half the men were saved. The cost in nioncy ran to the millions and the whole outfit -ank in a few minutes. Here we have the folly o f the New Dealers order- ng six ty. million dollar battle ships that can be sunk by a U-boat or air­ plane in ten minutes. The larger the vessel the easier it is; for the enemy 'o destroy. The .power of one of today’s great novels finds its full scope ■ on the screen in Darryl F.

RATES ThePALACE H O T E L SIXTH AT VINE STREETS ANTHONYELSASSER,MANAGER While one branch of the Democratic party in Ohio is seeking to overthrow the new Bricker Civil Service lnw, an­ other faction is indifferent. Last Sun­ day the ,Hon. Charles Sawyer, Cincin­ nati, who was defeated at the Demo­ cratic primary for nomination for gov­ ernor by Martin L. Davey, entertained members o f the State Central Com­ mittee at Orlcton Farms, Madison county last Sunday in a peace loving, conference to win over the remnants of the Davey administration, SuWyer carried a message from the Great. White Father down in Washington who is having trouble using his right arm to plead for world peace while his left is determined to fight and in­ sists in heeding to call to arms—from munition makers. There were no re­ porters permitted at the gathering but leaks will happen in the best reg­ ulated families. The only official re­ port handed out was “A good time was had by all.” Just how'easy it is.for this country to get into the war is shown by what happened' ten days ago when Roose­ velt held up the new .Ge-man Bremen ship that cost $20,000,000 on a.plea of searching for arms. Germany now charges Roosevelt with holding up the boat' 22 hours and then giving release so that she could be surrounded in the Ulantic by English U-boats, Just wehre the Bremen is now is uncertain but-it is generally believed that Eng­ land has captured the boat. If there is 'reinitiation we should not be sur­ prized* if the German U-boat colony does not pick off' one or more Amer­ ican vessels and at a time when there; would be no proof nor other boats in sight to lend relief and save those in­ nocent passengers or crew on board.
