Kennedy, much study aa well as reviewed his testimony before the congressional committee this week, ; He, without doubt, knows more o f the actual condition abroad and the aims of England now or after the war than any other American, His disagreement with Roosevelt over his foreign policy led to his resignation last December. The/ the surplus. From relief quarters ~ — comes the same story, no. more beans. If someone can find away to use beans in pies and-^l(£s_tbe/surplus could be disposed of quickly, The .only remedy is for thy AAA to order every other bean row plowed under this sea­ son. One of the problems pf the nation .is bean growers and not war, but what to do with 100,000 more bags of beans than were grown last year, each bag weighing 100 pounds. With en­ larged army" and navy and beans a favorite food in times past for soldiers even UnCle’Sam says be. cannot use fact that both Roosevelt and Sec. Hull have refused even com gress to inspect department correspondence and the Kennedy reports from time to time, proves without a doubt .the adminis­ tration is not playing square with the American people. Roosevelt has attempted to ridicule .Kennedy’s attitude to bolster his attempt to sell the nation on England’s war. Ken­ nedy says this is not our war and that we were not consulted when it began and that we can have no veto power over its continuance. We admire him'’for his staunch stand against cheap political attacks from the Whit? House .that are on par with what might be expected from gang-controlled wards in Chicago. He holds no brief for Hitler and wants aid granted England but not under the dictatorial lend-lease bill. It is likely Kennedy could cool the Warlike utterances of a number of radio commentators that evidently are on England’s 'sub­ sidized list if the lid was lifted. Kennedy warns this nation ’ to arm itself for defense at once regardless of who might win the war. It is almost.certain radical Socialist labor leaders Will control England at the end of this war with a probable civil war on the British Isles. , . * — All this country needs to be concerned about is just What England has done for us in the past. - -Did not our ancestors seek new homes here to esfcape persecution from" excessive tax­ ation and establish homes where religious views would be in­ dividual and not foyced by the state? In those days England had virtual# the same form of government as. she has today. Then she was a monarchy^ today she calls herself a democ­ racy, yet she owns millionsof slaves in India, that must turn over nine-tenths of their grain,'cotton, etc., as taxes. . What about the Boston Tea Party? Over what and by whom fed our Revolutionary forefathers fight? What do such organizations as the D. A. R. stand for today? What brought .about the Monroe Doctrine but control of business in the South American countries and for fifty years cheap labor enabled English made goods to be sold to South Amei'ica in competition with U. S. goods of higher-quality, even under the Monroe Doctrine. The'latest outbreak between European countries was when Germany hogged the South.American business by adopting the barter system. That was the signal for Eng­ land’s war that we are asked to have, a part in. There is more history that has not been reviewed and we might ask did England not offer to finance the southern re­ bellion- over slaveryjand also furnish'men and guns if neces­ sary? Was it not the great Abraham Lincoln that gave stern warning to the British Tories to stay on their side of the ocean? Can it be said today the reason why the solid south through its congressmen is one hundred per cent for the Roosevelt-King George war plan might be a return payment for England’s- proffer of aid to carry oii the fight for secession of states that the foundation of a young and strong nation might be broken only later to be gobbled up by a nation that had by war or conquest become great in forcing small, countries to bow at her feet? . Some twenty years ago-came the cries of this" same “De­ mocracy" for aid to save Democracy oY the whole world would be thrown into darkness. A sympathetic nation built.a great war machine with ships and men and with no end of money entered the battle at a terrible cost economically to every American; even a greater loss, through the blootl o f hundreds of thousands that faced death like heros and thousands more returned only to be a helpless, burden on society as long as they lived. When this nation present'da bill, of a few billions what was. the Englishman’s reply? Why you Americans are SHy- locks and we will not pay a cent" and they never have. From the Mayflower landing down through George. Washington, Thomas. Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln this nation has faced’ actual war with England on these shores and. history relates who won. We gave aid in the World War and now American Shylocks are implored to give more aid without alliance of payment of new or old debt for there is evidence that the ojd order in England is passing out regardless of the outcome with Hitler or Mussolini. Ambassador "Kennedy'knows What he is talking about. All Roosevelt knows or cares is that he proposes to make good his promises to King George at whatever cost it may be to the American people. That is the reason he asks for congress to delegate all its power lo him for all. time.. Joseph Kennedy openly opposes such a request and he warns congress the reason why. Without doubt this nation faces its most critical hour this very day. It is not the Democracy of the world that is at issue, it is our own Democracy— the life of the Republic that it ArtH coirtinuerttr live-on-and thitt it can be guided by one other than Franklin D. Roosevelt who has named more Communists to public office than can be found even in Russia. Congress muut continue to hold the balance of power as the constitution provides. Your duty as a citizen opposed’ to war at this time is to write your views to Senators Robert A. Taft and Harold Burton, and Clarence J. Brown, Washington, D. C., at once. ARMY RULINGS WILL BE CHANGED SOON IS REPORT Hearing on Tuesday the new draft rules .laid down in England by a radio broadcaster from that side of the Atlantic whereby all labor, male and female, is to be drafted for work in munition factories and other war work brings to the front m this country just whether Roosevelt could or would even dare go against organized labor. Socialist labor leaders are in control of England’s war and the "broadcast says women from homes that have never worked before will be drafted along with the poorest. Children from these homes will be cared for by government agents in concentration camps during the* period. For some time there has been leaksfeut of Washington as to new rules being announced soon concerning the draft and how different draft boards have ruled on important cases. De­ mand is being made according to our information that nothing but physical disability will actually bar a draftee from service. It is contended there are far to many exemptions which oven alarms New Dealers. As one New Dealer put it, “ Any bov that can sit down, can peel potatoes in camp" Ja-siru,J6d and Ifas the backing of the other boards m that state, that most all married men should be compelled to serve in some capacity in army service if they are within the age requirements. This board has gone farther and ruled that where a wife before marriage or after has an income sufficient to support herself and children, the. husband must s e rv e r s time in regular army duty the same as other drattees. . This country is gradually faring drastic ai-hiy regulations just as England is facing today—afid we are supposed to he SitUSTeTw* *5* 1Wor,<1* Soriety, rich and poor, high and low, voted last November for entrance into the European war in electing Franklin D.

A Republican congress if elected last November would n o t-h a v e a nation ot peace loving people faring such legislation as Roose­ velt demands in his lease-lend bill which is a misnomer for the actual contents of tlie measure. +aV(!" n ’ ,!^ 0' r 1 V/ *5SdeXn propagandists has been organized to sell England s War to the American people. Only a few men, such as Sen. Wheeler, can -wen get radio time to oppose the Roosevelt war plans. You have dictatorship at your door now. . * : keeping oar boys on this side p f the ditch. White in Cleveland hist week we heard the itatemant made by a leading bu»ine«« man that had just returned from Washington, that the, destroyers Roosevelt sent to England have been laid up in port all this . time. England has not shells o f the size used in this country and has ask- , cd Washington for shells. But shells , will not operate the destroyers and England has lost so many seamen she needs men to man the ships—-Ameri­ can seamen. This week Roosevelt says England will get no more destroyers— at present, A Franklin county representative has introduced a bill in the House to change the dates o f all holidays so they will fall on Saturday with the exception o f Christmas. From another angle comes a complaint from a resort proprietor wanting Roosevelt ( to change the date of Labor Pay from Sept. -I to 8 to get a longer season. Under the Ohio* bill Thanksgiving Would always come on Saturday and even Roosevelt could not change the date. If the craze continues why not move everything even Christmas to Roosevelt’s birthday, evidently the most important date before,, or since the creation o f man. Indiana has a Republican Senator ivnd a Republican Lieutenant governor, and. a Democratic governor. It has, been 125 years since governor and lieutenant governor in that state have been of different political parties. The election results in - that state have never been explained when..Willkie even 'carried the state and the Repub­ lican candidate for governor was rated as the strorigest candidate on the cieket during the campaign. And yet, Indiana' Republicans feel, elated all; because Sherman Minton, the New Deal rubberstamp Senator bit the dust and walks out. He will however re­ main on the government pny_roll •as Roosevelt has created a new $10,000 •job for hint and that is all that is necessary. ' ; John R, Bennett, Auglaize county, a Civil War veteran, who is 95 years of age, has just been granted a pen­ sion of $100 a month Newspaper pictures of what John Vance Garner said wan the "Roose­ velt tribe” , shows just how far the Roosevelt family lived" off the govern­ ment. It is said the daily table num­ bers from 16 to 23 members o f the family almost every day of the year and at ’ the expense of even WPA workers. When the ushers -at the church left the door open long enough to permit a cold draft on those inside Garner explained they nad to leave the doors open long enough to permit the Roosevelt tribe to enter. It must make parents of boys that are in the draft feel good when they View the slacker son of a President of the United States up in front at the inauguration with a hundred dol­ lars worth o f gold buttons and braid on a “ Reserve Captain’s uniform” . Young-Jimmy was dubbed a captain, and placed in a bomb-proof job to es­ cape service-in .the European war. Meantime sons of the Democratic faithful in .Greene county will drill in sunshine and rain with Bore feet to save what some in this country call “ European Democracy^. However, we do not see any rush o f sons o f New Deal families in this county crowd­ ing the draft hendquavtcrs offering to volunteer, ., John Nance Garner is probably the moBt colorful individual that ever served in public life. lie is the typical Texian" aj» independent as the jnck- rabbit that roams the Texas plains. No one, in his forty years in public life, ever pointed a finger of scorn at Ids public service or private life until John L. Lewis, CIO head, called him a poker-player whisky drinker, etc, At least he never sold government docu­ ments to a private concern and pocket­ ed one dollar or one hundred thousand dollars. Of all things Garner hated ‘'stuffed shirt society” even at inaugu­ rations. He hnd to borrow a “ tile hat” frdm a newspaperman and it was three sizes smaller than his 10-gallon customary cowboy bead piece. Upon entering the church “ ahead o f the, “ Roosevelt Tribe” the hat slipped off his head three times much to the amusement o f the crowd. He delight­ ed in ridicule o f fashion and at state functions wore, “ setup and tails” more to embarrass than to "please. Political­ ly John Garner went into the vice presidency as a ’'Democrat and he re­ tired o f the saihe political faith. He openly stated that he could not sup­ port the New Deal. He despised Hen­ ry A, Wallace in ,every capacity and refused to even be on friendly terms as he (Wallace) Was not a Democrat, never had been one, and was not even a good socialist, When Roosevelt de­ manded Wallace for vice president, Garner left lynshinglon for Texas and (lever returned until a few days before the inauguration. ^ The Churchill announcement a feWt days ago that England not only need* * ed airplanes but pilots As well hardly fits in with statements made by Roose­ velt and the other war mongers about We were amused to read in it New York paper last week o f a division in opinion that waxed into a hot argu­ ment over, our iposition in the war. The president o f Chase National Bank, probably the largest in the world, came out for intervention and declara­ tion of-war. Numerous directors ob­ jected and took the other side o f the issue. Just how" Roosevelt can "feel contented Among "his Wall Street “ crooks” , a term used in the early days o f his first administration, has part o f the population speculating. Wall Street'is for immediate war. It will furnish guns and powder through its great factories. All Roosevelt has to do is to muster the hoys o f Ameri­ can families to provide-the gun fod­ der. Sen. Wheeler knew o f what he was talking when he said “ Roosevelt would plow under every fourth Ameri­ can boy” to satisfy the war mongers. There is one thing that Roosevelt was ,to be given-, credit1 for, he. treats everyone Christian, Jew, or Gentile, Democrat, Republican or New Dealer, the same if they disagree with any of ms policies or anything he wants. The last victim of the smear attack was against his own appointee, Joseph Ivonnedy, ambassador to England, who resigned before Christmas,, rather than' have a part in the Roosevelt plan to sell. America down the river by the sacrince of American youth in •who’s war, m t ours.” Sen. Wheeler, D., who has stood for most of the New Deal, does not see eye for eye with the war mongers and said so over the ahr. Hi? speech so angered Roosevelt the ..air about the .White House was blue according to reports. What Roosevelt Was quoted as having said had been edited-—the press or radio station dared hot repeat what actual­ ly was said. Kennedy has given the fairest statement on the war situation that, we have read or heard. He has been m London long enough to know. He open! / stated that he did not know England's motives as -to the future. He favors selling anything to England but is against us entering the war'or sending “'our boys abroad—just what Roosevelt' promised King . George months ago, “ When Kennedy, was before the con­ gressional committee Tuesday he was asked his view on England’s future if she won the war? He admitted the Socialists (labor unions) now have a control on the government. It has been admitted in many quarters that should England win the war she would fail into a civil war immediately thereafter between the ^landowners, bankers, -business interests and the millions that huve not been permitted to own land only lease it from the royal family. Yet each day the war mongers talk about England fighting with .her back against the wall for democracy. Another tip is that the defense bases, given by England for destroyers will ‘carry a tax. The gov­ ernment will not’ collect a tax but there is a crown tax for support of the royal families that will amount to $25,000,000. And Uncle Sam pays the bill. Your son, if of draft age, will "goose-step” in the Roosevelt army just as sure as Roosevelt was in­ augurated Monday, last. For Sale—Furnace, stove or fireplace wood.

CHRIST’S CONCERN FOR THE LOST LESSON TEXT—Luke 15:1-10. ’ GOLDENTEXT—The Son of man Is coma to seek and to ssve that whlchwss lost— Luke 18:10, Lost! What fea r and disquietude grips our hearts when we hear that •word! A little boy strays away into the forest, and the whole country­ side gives up Its work to go and seek him. An airship fails to reach its destination, and hundreds of ships go to-seek after it, While an entire nation waits in suspense. •A ship is lost at sea, and' the whole world grieves. ” But listen! It is only when ap­ plied to the spiritual life that the word “ lost” finds its real depth of meaning. To be "without . God hi the world” (Eph. 2:12) and without hope—that is to really be lost. Y e t . parents who would not rest a mo­ ment while their-child'was physical­ ly lost go on without concern over, his spiritual condition. Our Lord had no such unconcern, t He was .deeply ‘moved over the lo s t , condition of men; He came “ to seek and to save tha t‘which was Tost.” The two parables of our lesson teach us three truths. I. Lost and Lamented (vv. 1-4, 8). • The publicans and sinners recog­ nized their need of a Saviour and He, knowing their lost condition, re­ ceived them, much to the disgust of the Pharisees and scribes who felt no need to be saved. They have their descendants in our churches today. The good shepherd canpot rest while one of the sheep is lost. Though "there were ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold,” he sought the lost one. His ■ grief-stricken heart compelled him to go out into the night to find him. One wonders how we who profess to follow Christ,_the Good Shepherd, can be so complacent about the lost. What if we do have the ninety and nine in church—where is the lo st, *one? Even if we do have a large Sunday School class—where are the boys and girls who are lost? Do our hearts grieve over them? If so, we will go and seek them. We who would quickly join the woman in seeking for her edin—will we join me Saviour in seeking the lost? II. Sought by Sacrifice (w , 4, 8). ’ The woman laid aside her usual duties and the pleasures of life to* seek her coin., The shepherd left the warmth, the comfort, and the rest which he had earned to go out info the wilderness ‘ to seek . his 1 sheep. ' “■ ' ■ : "But none of the Ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night that ! the Lord passed through Ere He found His sheep that was lost.” . Soul-winning calls for sacrifice. If tne love of Christ constrains us, we will do. it gladly, but if the self- seeking, comfort-loving spirit of this age controls-our lives, we Will al­ ways find some excuse (not a rea­ son, but an excuse). III. Restored With Rejoicing (vv. 5-7, a, 10). The lost coin back in the owner’s hand brought joy to her and her neighbors. The shepherd calls in friends and neighbors to rejoice over the restored sheep. ‘ How intensely human that is, and how altogether appropriate. « The great truth, however, is found in verses 7 and 10, where we learn that the repentance ‘ of one sinner sets even the bells of heaven ringing as the angels of God rejoice. How long is it, my Christian friend, since you caused such joy by permitting yourself to be. used of God in winning a soul? Yes, I know that it is God who seeks, but He uses human beings as His messen- • gers, as His seekers. That is our fi’st business after we ourselves have been saved. Our lesson will not be complete unless we consider the rest of the chapter—the parable of the prodigal son. In its main points it is like the other two parables, but there Is this vital difference—the shepherd sought his sheep, the woman searched for her coin—the* father did not seek the son; the son sought the father. Some prodigal, far from the house of his heavenly Father, may read these lines and say, " I wish some-1 one would seek me out and bring me to God.” But, my friend, you need not wait for Anyone. Do as the prodigal did—"arise and go” to God, He is waiting for you; His love has never faltered; He wants you to come now. Make His heart rejoice, and set the choirs of heaven singing, by coming to Him by faith—just now. ♦ REPORT OF SALE January 29,1941 Th i Springfield Live Stock Sales Co.
