Entert»tl a t the Post Office, Cedarville, Ohio, October 31, 1887, second elivs mai:or, I ’KIDAV, AUGUST 21, 1942 ' TRUST THE PEOPLE’S Theodore Roosevelt once remarked that, if given- all the fact, the American people can he trusted to reach .sound con­ clusions* Without the facts, iheyjean’fc. Washington, we hope, will learn this simple truth* . ■ • Secretary of War Stimson now says that he is going to re­ organise the Army’s public relations setup to eliminate “con­ flicting and irresponsible’*statements, “We regard aceusary in ' press statements,** Stimson de­ clares, “as fundamental necessity,*’ That is a frank confession that press agents under his jurisdiction have not always been accurate in what they handed out to the people as fact. The*story of those ploughed fields and grain sacks, which the First Air Force in New York claimed were “markers’*to di­ rect enemy bombers to war plants, was a glaring example of irresponsible statement. Gen. Drum, of the Eastern Defense Command, says these “markers’*were investigated weeks ago and found to be free of any subversive connection, Then the matter was dropped. . ■ The bright- young press agent at Mitdhel Field, who dug up and embroidered the story with hints of a dark and .diaboll- ical plot, undoubtedly thought he was doing the Country a ser­ vice, The effect of such hoaxes is just the opposite. They des­ troy public confidence in government. Why stop, though, with the 30,000 or more press agents and public relations officials on the public pay roll? They are merely the hirelings of higherups, whose mentality and meth­ ods they spread on paper. Why n°t begin at the top, where this fooling the people starts; with responsible administrative heads? Why not de­ clare a moratorium on “conflicting and irresponsible” state­ ments in all Government-’departpients? The .popple are tired of the, run-around they have been given on rubber, and gasoline, with half a dozen different of­ ficials giving out as many different statements on what the Gov­ ernment was going to do about wage stabilization and the elim­ inating of labor pirating. Yesterday Columnist Clapper called attention to a new angle in Administrative duplicity: “Washington officials gave a misleading impression that the gov- ' ernmcnt was behind.Henry J. Kaiser in his spectacular plan for building giant cargo planes. The Goyernmenters are behind. Mr. Kaiser so far-behind th a t‘they have run out on-him. He has been given a sly brashoff . . . , / “To qniet public elamo’r, which was on Kaiser’s side, Government spokesmen put out the word last week that they were giving Kaiser, a go-ahead, with letters of intent. That seemed entirely satisfact­ ory, apd the public interest relaxed, assuming .the Government, meant business. That’s what Washington wanted. ’It wanted .to get out' from under the public heat until the proposition was forgotten, It has very nearly succeeded.” We are in a war for our very existence. We have, long since passed the stage when it was necessary to conjure up mythical submarines off our coasts to scare Congress into pass­ ing legislation. ■ . _ ' \ • The nation is solidly united in a determination to fight and work through to victory. Yet its public officials in Washing­ ton, to whom it has a right to. look for intelligence and truth, .apparently think that they can win this-war by fooling tin people. They are disking the loss of public confidence in their probity. Americans don’t like, to have their intelligence insulted by, cock-and-bull stories, trivialties, evasions and wise-cracking by the men they have chosen to manage their affairs Get rid of offending press agents, yes, but don’t stop there. The people will not get the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth Until there is a change of heart in their respon sible officials in Washington. • —Detroit Free Press WHEN DO PARENTS BACK OFFICIALS? We have heard muc/h comment on the campaign out in Los Angeles, Calif., about the gangs of young boys .that have adop­ ted law-breaking .rheth'o.ds of their elders and the police las ; week landed some 200 add 'brought them into court to learn many had committed major, crimes, When such a 'condition exists whether in California or in Ohio what was the first step that brought about that condition? First, we believe it was laxity of home influence and control of youth.- World influence is not what it was ten or twenty years ago. Today, we wink at acts of young folks which in the ent only send- them on to an earlier career than they themselves expected. Not so long ago a daughter of a Xenia township farmer was taken ill while out on an innocent automobile joyride with several other boys and gilds. They loaded up on New Deal liquor and some cheap wine and set out to have a “good time. Regardless of the fact this was several months ago this young daughter who had indulged in drink to he “modem” became ill following her first experience and we are informed that she has never fully recovered. Time after time we see the result of misdeeds on our own streets that never arouse the public until some one lands in the quay, We take it as just one o f those things that happen. Too frequently youth points to the elders as “old foggies out of date.” Sometimes you hear of such advice given in some col­ lege and public school class rooms. t State laws require officers to see that intended infractions are not ignored. Are our officers to be commended for doing their duty or should we condemn them? Is it not a fact that many parents resent any official pointing out their son or their daughter as one who has broken one of the laws of society? It is a sad .commentary that American citizens must con- tinuS to be content_aud indifferent until some calamity strikes a community. Many things would never happen a second tim< if parents would only git e heed to the first warning that could be laid before them before a second act is committed. Resent­ ing an officer’s warning of a first act is dangerous. It only paves the way for the second—oft times one that shocks the entire community. price for cream. If sacrifice i*. patriot­ ism, the-American farmer is cemtrib- , uting more than any New Healer in or out of ‘Washington. | .WM.1T.1 ’* COMMITTEE tyAMEO FOR . LOCAL C. C.

How come Senator ? Why not appeal to the little or the big white house occupants for relief? Your friends committed the rape. Get out the 7 asso and branding! iron. New Deal wanted. . If we read the new income tax bill correctly there are few farmers that will not fall into the taxpaying class. Of course if you have ten or twelve children under 18 you. will be lucky, or would you be lucky when it came to purchasing footwear for that'many feet ? Look how much sugar Leon Henderson would let you have. Be. •’ore many months Uncle Sam is go­ ing to keep books for farmers and a <ot of' other people. The farmer with •i farm or even just, live stock will have to pay. If he were a factory worker drawing twelve dollars a day and owning no property, he would not have to pay ir -me taxes. All he would have to/do is to make a true and .correct return of how much •noney he earned and then state he rad no money to pay the tax. How *ould Uncle Sam get blood out of a .urnip ? There would be no fraud, The taxpayer could quit his job and go mj relief and have his groceries de­ livered.

RATES f i l l } AND UP ThePALACE HOTEL SIXTH At VINE STREETS ANTHONYELSASSE&,MANAGER The St. Louis Post-Dispatch speaks rut plainly about the effort of New Dealers to smear Cong. Walter C PloeseiyR., who refused, to be &rub­ ier stamp for Democratic- Commun­ e s .. • ■ Six candidates were in the primary against PloesCr with federal appoint ~es by the hundred campaigning igainst him. When the- votes were •ounted Ploeser polled 20,000 votes igainst the six candidates that only rolled a total of 20,000 votes. The Post-Dispatch thinks the New Deal imear campaign was'a dismal failure rnd assures Ploeser’s election in Nov­ ember.. A Xenia Democrat of the old school who has about all the New Deal he sari swallow met us several days ago •mil while in a, furious inpod Vented his feelings against what he termed .is “Washington nuts.” He was sore about house rent control. He openly ■masted he would not rent a house to i defense worker and would keep it locked empty ratifer than submit to Washington dictation. What he had to tell us about w ha t,some Xenia Democrats had been doing to renters vill make interesting reading some- ime in the future. One of the fall campaign slogans has made its aope'arance: “Franklin D. Roosevelt, the first Isolationist,” 'Did he not*campaign on the promise that he would never send your sons to my foreign country to risk their lives n War?” That was long before Pearl Harbor, All we were to do was to 'furnish the "material and England would do the rest.” Whose memory is so short that cannot recall these promises? Another week has gone by and we are unable.to inform our readers just where Lieut. Col. Major Eliott Roose­ velt, the one time Wright Field gaso­ line smeller, is now located. Last heard from bird was on a picture jaunt out ip Colorado enjoying the scenery and mountain air while look- ’ng for fox holes where a Jap might he in hiding. Meantime sons of Greene county Democrats are scattered all overthe earth in behalf of their coun­ try, They are facing Jap shot and shell while Eliott is taking pictures at government 'expense and sleeping in highest priced hotels. A radio commentator this week 'dmments.on the meat and food situa- Hon in this country and says there nust be rationing of most all sub- tantiai foods. He says the farmer nust prepare for even more grain and livestock production next year and make tlie same sacrifice in so doing as we ask of our boys in the service >f their country. Ho made no mention of the present sacrifice while organ- zed labor has a free hand and has ecorne "the newly rich” at the ex­ pense of the American farmer. The American farmer is destined to become the goat for England and organized labor. England Wants only ur hopeless lmms and BUgar-eured bu<jon. She- has refused to accept any more of our American cheese and the market for that product is glutted, Now Americans arc asked to eat more heofio in preference to moats. Sub- riilufe butter has imnipeicd better This was iomewhat different than what the Frankfin Chatauqua crowd experienced. Last February the man- agemenCwent to Washington to con­ sult about a chautauqua under present conditions, They wanted to know about talent and the management suggested Leon Henderson as a big­ ger drawing card than Harold Icker- or Joe Lewis. Thq New Deal gave the “green light”. In a few weeks the New Deal changed its mind—evident­ ly they felt Leon would not be a 100- percent drawing card — and the chautauqua; was out. Ringling Bros, circus is going strong without New Deal opposition. How did they do it? They are show people after the fash­ ion of Barnum, who knew how jio de­ ceive the pubjic on fake schemes and that fleas could be taught to dance to jazz music. Ringlings concluding number was a pageant' which closed the show with a huge curtain display­ ing a likeness of Franklin D. Roose­ velt under powerful • electric lights. And the show goes on regardless of rubber or gasoline. Our chautauqua friends have an object lesson for next year. What say you Brother Tibbals ? agreed to lead in the community drive next month for $15,000 towards the Cedarville College expansion and self- help program. They are Clayton Me ^Millan, J. C. Townsley, William S. Hopping, John W. Collins, George H. Hartman, Paul Edwards . and C. H. Crouse. ' ' The campaign in Cedarville ill be to secure gifts and pledges fro.a res The Hon. Japies Farley,: one-time head of the Democratic party and one who refused to be crowned with “New Deal Communism” beared the “Big Bad Wolf from the White House” this week and really pinned its ears back in jungle fashion. Jim refused as New York state chairman, to per­ mit the party of his ehoice to be used to promote the Ropsevelt-Wallace brand of Communism, He also re­ fused to let religion be a factor and on this issue the White House took a defeat when even federal patronage would not prove tempting to the Ben­ nett delegates in the.convention.

Hedy Xam arr/ Powefl Co-Star I n Mystery Thriller “Crossroads” ■ •William Powell returns to familiar ground in MGM’s “Crossroads,’" a story qf blackmail and intrigue which opens Saturday, August 22 for 4 days at the Regent theater, Springfield, Ohio. Long absent from ■ serious dramatic roles, Powell is afforded an excellent opportunity in the film and makes the most of it- Hedy Lamarr is teamed with •Powell for the first time, while Claire Trevor and Basil Rathbone lead one of the year's'outstanding supporting casts, , ■ The action:of the story takes place in Paris before the current war. Powell 'is a French diplomat happily married to Miss Lamarr. Just as he is made Ambassador to Brazil, an insidious blackmail plot is concoted against him by Rathbone and Miss Trevor. They present proof that he is living under a false identity and is. really a petty crim­ inal who robbed and murdered a man 15 year's before. The situation cf a man’s past’ catching up with him to destroy all. he holds dear is be­ lievably and most thrilllngly presented, thanks to the expert direc­ tion of Jack Conway. In the acting department the new picture shines with stellar'-bril­ liance, for the cast includes in addition to Powell,'Miss Lamarr, Miss Trevor and Rathbone, such polished performers as ’ Felty Bressart, Margaret Wycherly^ Vladimir Sokoloff, Sig Rumann, H. B. Warner, Guy Bates Post, Reginald Owen, Frank Conroy, Philip Merivale, Frits Lelber, Janies Rennie arid Mitchell Lewis, Producer Edwin Knopf has shown careful Judgment in tighten lng the story for a suspense effect.5 The sets are elaborate and th# musical score by Bronislau Kaper lends -just the right atmosphere to the. story. . :;< ■ William Powell shows he has lost none of liis-flair for the dra­ matic and handles his difficult assignment with flnese. Miss Lamarr, looking more beautiful-than ever in stunning creations' by ’Kallocb, MGM designer, is sincere .and dramatically effective as Powell's wife. Basil Rathbone’ and Claire Trevor are a smooth pair of blackmailer”*. Felix Bressart and Margaret Wycherly deserves special mention for their characterizations.
