Entered a t the Poet Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 81,1887, as second class matter. , Friday November 17, 1989 THERE MUST BE A LIMIT TO TOLERANCE Governor John W» Pricker in his address before some 1100 Masons gathered around the banquet table last Thursday night in Dayton, left a new thought from two different angles that sank deep into the hearers before him. The Governor emphasized his belief in the freedom of speech, religion and the press, but said he, "We must hush the .voice of the man who by propaganda seeks to destroy the in­ stitutions which give him the liberty to carry on and which he will destroy once he has come into power.” Without even the hint of a partisan attitude or utterance the Governor no doubt had in mind the propaganda tha t is being spread in behalf of England and France in this country to get us in the war as was done previous to the World War. 'A radio nejws commentaor some weeks ago referred to what was going out over the air as foreign inspired propaganda and his auditors were asked -to find a single word of such storied In the daily press the next day. Not so long ago a story was given out from the White House that German submarines had been sighted out from Boston and immediately members of Congress began to question the. source of the information but no explanation was ever given. I t is this kind, of propaganda tha t soon would wreck the confidence of the people if there was not open expression against the use of such methods to mislead the people against their personal desires and opinions. The Governor left another thought tha t is worthy of record and one seldom heard during these times of stress in the in­ dustrial world. He stated what we need more than industrial recovery is “something o f spiritual character and expressed the belief tha t we are facing somewhat of a revival of the funda­ mentals of. life and realizing more the value of the Christian -church in our midst.” ~He characterized tolerance as a Constant danger in America today in that it may become a weakening rather than a strengthening power and tha t virtues of individual respon­ sibility in religion and government must not be overlooked. The speaker gave statistics citing tha t the number of .per­ sons above working age are constantly ,increasing while those of working age are decreasing, creating' a responsibility society faces. He pointed out the re is no more pioneering of physical frontiers to be done but there is plenty of opportunity for pioneering and no limit, to the possibilities of representative government. Burning up the Governor’s address the nation needs to re­ turn to fundamentals and to this the conservative will agree. jWe cannot hope for tha t utopia that comes from the realm of the dreamer and a permanent prosperity keeping in mind a 'duty we owe the younger and coming, generations, is all that Will ever make possible the continuance and growth of repre­ sentative government. VIOLENCE DOESN’T WORK. Thev recent “milk strike” in the New York area is an Example of mistaken tactics on the part of a limited group of farmers.. ■ * Described as a farmer-sponsored strike against conscience­ less dealers, it soon became apparent .that in reality the prin­ cipal victim Would be the farmer himself. For, in the New York m ilk shed, as elsewhere, marked progress in getting a better break for the producer has been accomplished by marketing (cooperative organizations. These co-ops opposed the strike, knowing th a t it could be.disruptive to their work. In this they {were supported by the bulk of farmers, citizens and public officials. A strike such as this is invariably a mistaken tactic,.of a ' boomerang nature, Sound ‘progress for the farmer will come from such movements as marketing cooperation, not from S Holent tactics which are certain to alienate the public and en anger constructive achievements of sensible, organized (producers, PRICES GOING UP BUT CAN THEY STAY? Catalogue prices on most merchandise are now out of date fo r almost every line of business, all the result of the war we are told. There is some reason for prices on metal products going up due to increased labor costs under union demands. The manufacturers paying the wage demanded and charging the increase to the public. Japan has been taking much of our metal arid now our own government is a heavy buyer. In other lines retail stocks were low and the boom caused heavy buying all at once justjlike the buyers boom when sugar went up but now sugar is on the down grade along with some other domestic lines. Col. Ayer, economist, Cleveland, sounds a bit of warning about this war boom that there is little to support it in the com­ ing weeks. As soon as shelves are filled he. says be on your guard, about the bottom dropping out. He does not present a very rosy picture in regard to prices . on agricultural products and sees little chance under our trade agreements with foreign nations of much improvement. In fac t he says the farmer is going to sell in a low market and everything he buys must come from the war boom market. „ He also points out the relationship between the government and business as anything but secure as one will not trust the other and this is not a good index. Government spending to heap the public debt to 45 billion is only staving off the evil day to avoid an immediate crash.

We learn that if 9 0vern° t Briefer is forced to call the legis­ lature for relief measures to care for ■ities that "won’t vote support to themselves he will ^insist on in the laws to cover the loop holes. There must he more safeguard on petition peddling and misrepresenta­ tion to secure signatures without the signer knowing what it is all about. Gov. Bricker is. stronger today than anytime since he became Governor last January, all the result of public approval of his early stand-against .he approval of the Bigelow amend­ ments last week. Comment on both ides of the political fence is all for the Governor in contrast with the 'ateness of Democratic leaders taking a stand. The big surprise was the ‘ducking” of the issue by Senator Donahey who did not take a stand a- gainst the pension plan offered by Bigelow. Donahey was against chang­ ing the reduction of signatures on in­ itiated bills. A leading Democratic farmer stated in our hearing that his jjarty had little credit coming on the defeat' of the Bigelow issue but we I:now of some Jeadjpg Democrats known over the state that worked •arly and late every day irrespective of what party management did. Vice President Gfllmer announces that he will be a candidate for presi­ dent to succeed FDR next year and invites all comers to get in, meaning ■if course the occupant of the White House. Should Garner even get the nomination it means that Santa Glaus takes a holiday. Last Saturday was Armistice Day . ind we were impressed by a statement f a member of the American Legion vhich carried some pointed language .bout the Bigelow pension proposal hat was defeated; ■The Legion went n record against the two Bigelow iroposals- and joined what looked .like most everybody'in the state in oppos- ng the single tax plain. Here we had >ien who went into - the trenches ibroad at the risk of their lives and ve had many that returned home de­ void of much of the physical strength s when they were drafted or enlisted, lome of these only get fifteen or wonty dollars a month and some get \othing. .If the pension plan had car- ied these boys of the World War vould have been lucky to keep what hoy now have. No wonder they verc sore at. the $50'a month pension •Bigelow wanted traded for single tx. A Cincinnati voter had his fun narking a ballot last Tuesday a t the nunicipal non-partizan election. There vorc niiie places to fill on the cjty icket and the voter headed his bal ot “Nine Stuffed Shirts” and then vrote the following choices: 1. Democratic (hyprocrisy. 2. Comrade Roosevelt, 3. Kcptus Outawar. 4. Comrade Sol Bloom. , C. Cash-and-Carry Taft. 7 / Comrade Key Pittman. 8. Comrade Earl Browder. 9. Bingo Ben. Gov. Dickenson, Michigan, proposes something new in aiding his state to care for the needy. First he asks the mothers who smoke to reduce their consumption one half during the two weeks following Thanksgiving and donate same to charity. He goes a step farther in asking the parents that use intoxicants to turn five per cent over to some charity fund. The Governor asks Tri* corfstituanta to figure it out for themselves and see if the saving will riot take care of ail who need aid. The No.w Deal, or up me of the senators on that side of the political fence, arc much provoked ut the late picture now being, shown to crowd­ ed. houses over th© country, “Mr, Smith Goes to Washington.” The play is a satire on what is supposed to go on in the national legislative body, It is overdrawn to some ex­ tent but we hear it is supposed to have been inspired by the New Deal campaign ill Kentucky to elect Sen. Barkley last year, when the WPA and PWA and relief forces were forced to vote tbnt way against the then "Gov. “Happy” Chandler, The “ Young Smith” who has entered the senate as per the play wanted a certain scenic spot ' improved for a boy’s camp. Tho big tops in the Scnald along with the contractors had decided there was necessity of n dam there which would upset “Young Senator Smith’s aspirations!” The play doe* not indicate whether the dam is for power or flood protection or both as FDR says they can be while Prof . Morgan says such a thing is impossible. So far only a few Democratic senators have uttered protest to the latest in picture shows Which i# drawing applause and plenty of dimes for the company producing Jt. ’ > ‘ ■ The writ filed fa th* county courts1 by the Brewer heir* against Hugh Taylor Birch over the refusal to pur­ chase the Brewer farm brings out some new points. The state bad brought spit for condemnation pro­ ceedings and a jury valued the land much higher than the state would pay. Up to that time it was taken for granted the state was acting as its own agent but the suit brings out the claim that the state was only . representing Birch, who was to pay! for the land, but a t his price, not \ even the price the jury fixed One would hardly think it was neces­ sary for the state to do business on that grounds. Now Mr, Birch faces U suit for $2,000 which it looks like he should he compelled to pay. Our old friend Charley Hildebrant was elected to his seventh term as mayor of Wilmington, his last elec­ tion being.contested by an opponent. This is as long a term of continuous service as any mayor in this, part of the state can boast of. The “Ham and Egg” element in California is peeved a t Gov, Olsen who has served one year of his term as a Townsend follower. This year Olsen refused to back the “Ham and Egg’’ ’crowd,' To get his hide .ho pension element who had been sold the “$30.00 every Thursday” started a movement to ' recall the Governor. This week ’ Olsen comes rmt with his own pension plan, $50 :ujr all citizens over 60 years of age. He does not say what they are to use tor money as no new taxes are pro­ filed. The pension crowd say they iave no confidence in Gov. Olsen and .'ill proceed with the recall. Tough .ticking for "the politicians that pro- jiise everything and then cannot make good. “A FEW DAYS AGO” ( C ontinued F rom F ibst P age ) mmpaign. Father was then still iving and I a boy possibly 14 years .if age were jn attendance. There had been all outdoor crude speakers •ostrum erected on the old Coui^t louse grounds, with close to the •'round, seats provided for the listen- rs, to carry away ithe privilege of aving heard an address by James G. 3lain© the “Plumed Knight” of .laine. - I was exceedingly anxious to get . close view and not lose a word of is National leaders attitude in poli- ical affairs. So before the crowd ■atheved around the focal spot I had ttnehod myself by an armhold around o short post sustaining the railing wound the speakers stand. Soon I vas squeezed up . against the sub- rame work of the structure, with <iy head but slightly above the floor .here of. ' Directly, here came the reception ommittee, of which father was one, vith Dr. J. G. Carson and the illus- rious Janies G. Blaine (who by the vay were some degree of cousins I vas told); both braving the middle name of “Gillespie.” All being seat- ?d, I cou/d have touched >Blaine in his position. Men kept crowding in thicker and heavier on my place for standing room. Finally some big fellow said to me, “Sonny, hadn’t ’ou bettor get out and make room for rider people V I-didn’t say nuthin, but Blaine who overheard the man’s remark to me, did say sumpin. “Let Che boy alone said he, if he’s interest'd enough to come here and hang on to that post to listen, he’ll be a voter lome day. Let him alone.” Dr. Carson’s introduction was an oratori­ cal gem, and I was satisfied with whatever Blaine said to ri degree that I’d.go through fire or water for him ?ver afterwards, and it was my pri­ vilege in 1884 to join my “First Voters” ballot iv^ith ojthers of out Republican club members in old Greene, for James G. Blaine for U. S. President—but we sorrowfully had to console ourselves after the votes were counted that Blaine was too big a man to be chosen to that position. That made us feel better.
