Friday August 16,1940 MARRIAGE AND THE WAR—ALSO DIVORCE every paper you pick up lately shows a great in-’ trease in the number o f marriage licenses issued, more than mmi and it is hinted that the chance of young men being call­ ed into the Roosevelt army is the reason. With some it may, but we doubt if so in every case. Effort is being made in Congress to get a clause in the, law drafting the militia for war duty, that members with fami­ lies can resign, This point is hotly contested both ways. There is no question but that a large per cent of the .members o f the state militia centered this service for the Btate, never suspecting that they would be required to become soldiers of the federal government to fight some bodv somewhere—no one seems to know where. One side says these soldiers should be sent to help England or Hitler will be over here. Roosevelt says the chances are one hundred to one they will never leave this country, but no one but Roosevelt knows about that, as he is commander-in-chief of the army and this guess is taken with a grain of salt, knowing his many promises of the past have not been kep i While you look over the marriage licenses and wonder at tHa number, Clerk of Court Earl Short informs us the divorce badness has been unusually good, as many as five suits being filed in a single day. He says there are always more divorces suits in summer than any other season, and we can understand why the record has been broken this summer in this county. The excessive heat is a real test o f the patience of men as well as women. Even the cement of matrimonial bliss in some cases evident!j; gives way under the torrid heat where comfort can- ffOt be^OUnd only in the divorce court. Sonic business men seem to have the impression that the suggested excess profits tux legislation will apply only to such as ave engaged in industries actually associated with the national defense program, Fact is, though, that every corporation will be affected so far as their 1940 and subsequent prof­ its may exceed such earnings- as would he considered ‘'normal.’' Just who is to decide, where “ normal” leaves off and “ excess” begins is not clear at the moment. Also, many are concerned over prospects o f heavy levdes on them this year although no proper notice has been given them to protect them- rives against payments °that may have to be made. r,' • PREPAREDNESS BY PRAYER The practice of prayer before embarking on any under­ taking has proved its value for individuals and nations. The Bible is full o f such proofs, and countless men and women know from their own experience the help.that comes from, ask­ ing God’s guidance, seeking to know and do His will. Highly welcome is President Roosevelt’s Call to the people o f the United States for a day of prayer in connnection with their present effort to fortify their heritage of freedom. The human mind turns too easily to its own petty planning. It .begins too often with merely material measures. It forgets that defense is first^of all spiritual and mental. Only by under­ standing the true nature of man shall we perceive the false nature of the attack, and only by divine guidance shall we put on the armor o f spiritual foresight, unity of purpose and moral courage necessary to effective defense. Whatever other steps are required, defense begins with thinking. Even economic, diplomatic, or military measures begin there. AndJhought which abides under the ‘‘shadow of the Almightv^will p^ neither hysterical nor apathetic, will know right from wrong, will have the wisdom to design and .the resolution to carry through whatever measures may be liecessary. Time after time this process is illustrated in the Bible. - In­ dividuals and peoples, seeking guidance and protection from G b d , have proved the divine power, have learned what steps they should take themselves. David, putting first things first, “ laid aside Saul’s- armor, which he had not proved, and used with confidence weapons ordinarily scorned. Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah prayed for help and wisdom in defending themselves against the Moabites and Ammonites, and their efielnies destroyed one another. Elisha was directed how to .turn back the hosts o f the King,,of Syria, Sometimes the defenders were not required to fight; some­ times they were guided as to the means to use. But always by Beginning with the preparedness of prayer, they found pro tection and peace.—Christian Science Monitor. IIow many heard Lowell Thomas, the famous now* commentator on the air last Friday evening? How many Herald readers had in mind the lead­ ing story on the first page relative, to what the airplane manufacturers were .’siring with the red tape o f the New Heal? I f you heard Thomas and -read the Herald article based on a letter from a friend, you found that Thomas was talking about the same things' we referred to on the'complaint o f the writer who had been connected with the airplane business for a number of years. Thomas also gave the interest­ ing news that regardless o f the fact billions fo r defense had been appro printed by congress the first actua order was signed by Sec. Stimson that day for thirty-three bombers. Thomas said incompetance and. red tape with New Heal bickering was a great dis appointment. AH that feu W t to tfc* Haw Heal. I f thara in any comfort la fo l­ lowing that brand of a loader, le t no man put a atom ia their path, It was only an hour or so after the Thomas broadcast that Kaltenborne noted news commentator came on the tir, and he covered the same sub jeefc, mentioning the fact that we now have 33 fighting planes ordered after months o f red tape under tho'New Deal. The commentator mentioned that we might eventually have proper defense if, as and when, someone took charge that knew something about what they were attempting to do. What he should..have said to give the actual facts'was that. Roosevelt was letting no contracts go through that did not carry with them contributions to the New Deal campaign fund this fall! THE MAYOR OF MONTREAL , , The Mayor of, Montreal in urging the public to disregard the Canadian registration law has come into conflict with the government and been placed under arrest. The views of this one man are not important but there is reason to suppose that his opinions are pretty much those of the great majority of the French Canadians and it is impossible to appraise at this time what trouble this group may cause the Canadian authorities. There is no reason to suppose- that the subjugation of France by the Nazi-Fascists, or the seizure of French ships by the British has intensified this French Canadian opposition to compulsory war service. The French in Canada have developed Along very different lines from those in France, and to the Canadians, France since the Revolution has seemed to have many serious faults. - A great many o f them feel much as do isolationists in the United States, that the quarrels of Europe are not their affair and that they should not he dragged into them and asked fo make great personal sacrifices because Canada is a member o f the British Commonwealth. They are loyal to Canada but feel very slightly any ties with either France or Great Britain. —Springfield Sun . 3 0 4 9 4 0 K WBOC-LONO OHIO’* finest o ffe r in g s In JtarfmHwt*, Indu stry ; Solano*, AMtossUaw and f e w i i iM i i Es- .Mb#*. ****** dteyUys, fes* acts, WillWfe* M u s ic, *nt#t:*ljMKant - I* fetfef you now fcnvwkdfs, «#w AM* ****** fair U bit#**, bad** «tul . bnHhiii*H um **•*.

FDR named William S. Knudsen, former head o f Gefieral Motors with, two other well-known executives as National De feuse Advisory Commission, a paper organization not authorize^ by law apd without legal authority in any governmental matter or contract, ’these men are o f experience in fife manufacturing game and have been high priced executives that gave up their positions as a patriotic duty. We hour the question o f tanks came up and a recommendation was made to the department for model necessary, price, etc; The matter was laid on the White House desk and it laid there for days and days. Finally.Knudsen called and after discussion became somewhat irritated and discovered he was not to bo let in on the secret o f the contract, if there was to bo any. Idore discus­ sion and ‘finally the former motor magnate asked; “ Who is boss any­ how?” From behind the government mahogany came the outburst: “ I am, and I want you to know it,” Mr. Knudsen should not have pried into New Deal private matters. He should realize that FDR has built more automobiles, more battle ships, freight cars, binders and mowers, con­ cocted more patent medicine and spread more barn-yard manure than any other living bring and no one has a right to question his word. He knows more law is superior ip (his) judg. ment to any court or congress. This all may be his personal '*1” or “ Wc” but no one will take from him the credit o f creating the largest state debt while governor o f N ew 'Y ork state and has built a national debt on the people o f this nation tlmt will never be paid, and it is something that does not concern him or does he care what price posterity must pay for bin folly, In speaking o f the national debt mid the part FDR is having in heaping it into the billions, the Chicago Tribune lays bare the Roosevelt background as to management of, the family estate following the death o f his father. Be­ ing the only son and a young attorney, leaving a million dollar, estate in the hands' o f a son as executor or trustee fo r the benefit o f his mother, ordina­ rily is the pride and joy oil nine out o f ten fathers, even though his ac­ cumulation may not, 'total fl,0OO. Franklin’s father, says the Tribune, had a different idea, he left everything in trust, so even a Hyde Park Squire could not squander the life savings of parent. One o f the bits o f news that should bring out the moisture on the nose o f any New Dealer should be Ibife, the third term candidate is the Only candidate for president tlmt ever md a Hfc-time guardian fixed through the will o f a father. Eugene Debs, Norman Thomas, fo r the Socialists, Bill Bryan and Grover Cleveland for ;hc Democrats, with George Washing- on, Abraham Lincoln, William Me- Gnley and others fur the Republicans, pot a one o f them ever had a guardian. Wendell WUlkie, the Republican nominee, built a hot fire under the New Deal candidate last week when he stated that he favored a law that would require every president und •ach member o f hi* family to file a sworn statement with the Secretary o f State as to what they asm in cash, stocks, bonds, etc., when he takes office and that the same be required when the term was completed. Not c bud suggestion but it was much like striking a Wind man when he was down. Franklin D. Roosevelt was ask­ ed by a reporter what ho thought of the suggestion, with nose turned nr and a sneer, as much as said it was none o f your business or Wiilkie’s either what I have but I can say tl.is that since I have been in the chair “ 1 am much wiser ahd a lot poorer” . • It can also be said that with the attitude o f the Hyde Park Squire lie simply lot his hair down for a good old fashioned drubbing and he has been getting it in the press. How about the income o f his books, or books credited to him by certain pub­ lishers, that flooded the nation shortly after ■he entered the White House 7 What about the serial stories sold the newspapers? What about the .$100,- 000 in received from the Scripps-Ho- wardNNewspaper Syndicate fo r the confidential papers sold out o f the White House? In the eight-years he will have been president his salary was a mere $76,000 with $25,000 ex- penses yearly, and this does not in­ clude the bacon and com cakes, heat and light o f the executive mansion* with two. hundred or more servants. All this not being sufficient Mamma Roosevelt has been busy lining the family purse for a cold winter and she Receives only $3,000 for each broad­ cast selling soap over the air with two assignments a week or $6,000, a $1,000 a day except .Sundays. She. al­ so shells a newspaper syndicate column that is good for something like $1,000 net a week to say nothing o f the chautauqua fees of $500 per and expense. I f "the family has not collected more than a million to date, there is something wrong with the figures. Then there' is the $1,000 per patient setup for the Warm Spring* cure, to those that can rake up that much cash. AH this should make in ter’esting reading to the fellow that is .laving in the burning sun to get ten it twelve dollars a week thinking hat some great benefactor down in Washington is going naked and hungry that be might have a few •rumbs. It was a cruri trick by Wen deli Willkie who says i f they want more he will lay his public utility holdings gainst what the.Roosevelt family has in General Electric, the company that ft&s been swiming in the gravy fo r power contracts since FDR started to draw his first month’s salary as President. - It should not be hard to decide who has been the greatest beneficiary under the New Deal. luMagt tSeMdif BKftnwtP* Law* iM v ifY afei*)MWHi, sickle* gamed end 1wMm » wfaitwd. Prises ePisut^m* nsnuie tm m M m Those who followed the news dis- atches last week have probably read f the tropical torm that swept Louis- ina and other southern states. We otice the rainfall around Lafayette, I’ rowley, Morgan City and other towns .i the Evapgelme country was twenty- !->ur inches in twenty-four hours. To v northerner that seems impossible, jut if you were ever in that section vhen a three inch rain is regarded a hower, you can have some idea of the amount o f water that falls. W c have covered most all o f southwetern Louisiana where the land for cultiva­ tion is only possible by the use o f canals for drainage. Millions o f acres o f swamp land are yet' to be drained. For instance at Morgan City there is only four inches fall in. a distance of four miles to the Gulf o f Mexico, We stopped a few years ago, at Iberia, La., where, they had had a nine inch rainfall from three in the afternoon until nine the next morning. Water n the town had been five feet deep 11 and the roads were closed for days. Residences in built on posts five or six feet above.§ ground. The whole town had the nicest coat o f yellow clay on every­ thing, the backwater touched. When wc look upon a two inch rain fall in this country bringing our Streams to dood stage, wlmt would wc do with nine inch rain fall in twenty-four lours ? “Brea more thrilling than the unforgetable “Jeans Jwmet" la th« “Return of Frank James” new technicolor picture which opena at the Regent Theater, Springfield, O,, on Thursday, August IS, Henry Fonda, Jackie Cooper, ahd Henry H«U are starred in this great Western epic. > Secretary o f State George Neffner has notified the 88 county election boards in Ohio .to make preliminary arrangements for registration o f men subject to call when the military train­ ing act. has passed congress.

Four years ago the New Dealers clear­ ed $150,000, Willkie stated the Hatch law made such publications unlawful, id. Flynn, who is filling Jim Farley’s seat, says it was not. The law holds publisher, solicitor and, purchaser, guilty o f violating the corrupt pract­ ice act. That Was the opinion o f Will­ kie who stated he would prosecute under the law.
