F08EMA8 'Editorial NOW IS THE'HOUR Before another issue o f your home paper reaches you there -a,*ill come to you the greatest op­ portunity any person that ever lived on the planet could have had—the right o f casting a free vote. The state will furnish the ballot, the state will buy the pen­ cil, the state will provide a pri­ vate booth so that o f your own free will you may state your views on the vital matter o f officers to serve you. There will he no gun barrel in your ribs, no threat of being shipped off to Siberia if your vote is not in line with a despotic clique. Now 13 the hour to make sure that by the exercise o f your franchise, you continue this great privilege, obtained at no cost to us o f the present day, hut by blood and sweat and tears o f our forefathers. BEWARE THE WITCHES It’s witch time again—and window-soaping and outhouse­ upsetting! So long as it’s all in fun, and pranks do not become damaging escapades, it’s a grand holiday. Not everybody likes to play practical jokes, but most folks enjoy laughing at the dis­ comforts o f others over being made the butt o f jokes. They say everybody enjoys seeing a tall hat knocked off by a snowball, or a fancy-dressed woman get splat­ tered by a passing vehicle, even i f both are naughty and a bit dis­ courteous on the part o f some­ body. It's Hallowe’en, a season: o f hilarity and pranks. Keep all o f it fun and it will be a fine spirit to kindle in a world that doesn’t have too much to laugh over, with wars and rumors o f wars, and taxes,—but why bring that up 7 AT THE TOP Nobody that knows our farmer neighbors who won the milk-pro­ ducing contests—not a contest, perhaps, but a Greene county re­ cord fo r the month—is surprised. Two or three o f our neighbors are reputed to be especially good managers and good handlers o f dairy, cows, and having given close attention to the blood lines and production records o f the dairy strain, the good results are meer- ly a consequence. Doing a thing well always brings results. That’s why John Stover, Bob Thomas, B. F . Woods and the others got their names in the paper. THE DIVIDING LINE That mechanical painter, the road-striping truek, did its mirac­ ulous trick o f white-lining Route 72 in a few minutes one day re­ cently. Lines as straight as we motorists ought to drive, were painted directly in the middle of the road, where we oughtn’t ever to drive. It actually whizzgd through town, and was on its way towards Springfield. It got as fa r as Clifton where it either ran out o f dope or decided folks ought to be able to keep on their own side o f the highway as wide as 72 is from there to Clark county’s capital. Like car painting and bridge painting, line-painting has been stepped up. And did you see the fellow sitting on the back o f the contraption, dropping the red iron warning markers? He was a busy boy. IT’S NOT TOO SOON GOP headquarters are now op­ en in the county capital. There is a lot o f work to be done—a whole lot o f work—if good old Republican Greene county does its full share in bringing that GOP landslide in Ohio. Ail over the country there is a growing fear o f a lack o f interest on the part o f Kepublicans. They seem to think “ it’s in the hag.” There is only one way to make sure the Republicans carry the election and that is to: work as hard as though the chance were poor. It’s not too soon to have a headquarters in Greene county. BE SURE YOU VOTE The fear is arising that, despite the huilabloo and oratory and fcarn-storming,the people may not turn out to vote in November in anything like the numbers they should. Voting obligations come right down home to us all. Voting is not only an obligation and a duty, it is a privilege. Very few citizens . o f the nations o f the ■world know anything about our free election system. We oursel­ ves should consider it more ser­ iously than we do. There is a gerat deal at stake in this elec­ tion. You are expected to take part in it, I)o. A GOOD SERVANT Our people joined other Gree.’.e county folk in gratitude that L :. S. E. Gordon was honored by tfcj townspeople in Connersville, Ind. The doctor is a Greene county product. For over a half century he has served the Hoosler city and its people, and they held a thank-you party recently in his honor. A moment’s reflection shows how much service is includ­ ed in 50 years—it is 52, the record shows. Thousands o f calls and as many visits to his office, and help­ fu l counsel and advice along with professional work o f all kinds.

NEVERLIKED A SPEECH SOMUCH BEfORE / True Wisdom Lesson for October 31, 1913 Dr. Foreman W HAT is the most important thing in the world? What is worth more than anything else? Some would say Money; some Pow­ er; some Goodness; some Truth. Anoth­ er answer is given by the writers of a group of books, two of which are includ­ ed in our Bible. "Wisdom is the prin cipa l th ing; therefore get wis­ dom,” they say. T h e b o o k s o f Proverbs and Ec­ clesiastes in our Protestant Bible, and the books of Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon in the Apoc­ rypha, all have this viewpoint and are therefore called the Wisdom Literature. Other writers in the Bible divide the human race into the Good and the Wicked, or the Believers and the Unbelievers; but these writers see mankind as the Wise and the Foolish. The books they wrote (es­ pecially Proverbs) were intended particularly for those who are so far neither foolish nor wise—that is to say, the young. * * * Knowledge Is Not Wisdom TXTISDOM (as these writers use » V the word) is not the same thing as knowledge. A person may know a great many things and still be a fool. Or he may not even know how to read and write, and yet be wise. Some modem writer has said: Knowledge is knowing what to do; ‘skill is knowing how to do it; and •virtue is doing it. Wisdom is all of ,fhese put together, i But the special feature of the “ Wisdom Writers” is this; True ' wisdom begins with the fear of ] God. “ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom . . . the knowledge of God is undcr- . standing.” In other words, wis- ‘ dom without religion, without « faith, is foolish after all. We can see how in our times the story of the Nazis has shown this once more to be true. The German Reich of 1935-1939 had the best of the science of the world; they had ‘scholarship and wealth and “ kr.cw- diow” in many fields; but they re­ jected God and defied his church— and so a nation was destroyed. We too may profit by their exam­ p le. We of the western nations have iwealth and technical skills beyond any other peoples, we have the atom bombs—but have we the wis- 'dom without which all these things .are but‘ as torches in the hands of 'madmen? 1 • •: • {University on Ant-Hill ■ "|/"NOWLEDGE may be expensive. [“ ■It costs a great deal of money f o know what it takes to be an en- .gineer or a surgeon. Wisdom, strange to say. Is less expensive, i ll is in fact on such a low shelf that [most people pass it by. ‘ Consider where the "Wisdom ;Writers” tell us we may learn wis- jdam. One place is experience. "Ex- Sperience keeps an expensive school, but fools will learn in no other— and hardly from that," says a more modem proverb. [ Many of the proverbs in our Bible are simply distilled drops ’ of experience. “A soft answer fnrneth away wrath, but griev­ ous words stir up anger,” for ■ example. Do you need an angel from the sky to tell you that? Another source of wisdom is just Nature herself. “ Go to the ant, thou sluggard (lazy fellow); con­ sider her ways and be wise.” A lazy man is a fool; but how shall he learn to be wise? Not by reading books—just by watching the ants. • • * ■Inspired Common Sense A FORMER governor of Virginia used to say that during his term of office he received more practical help from reading Proverbs than ifrom any of the books on political ^science in his library. For the sci­ ence, or the art, of government is simply one specialized form of that .most important arl, getting along with people. And the Wisdom Lit­ erature shows us how it is done. Some people think that Inspira­ tion is always mysterious, and that [the Holy Spirit would not stoop to 'inspire what we could learn in any 'ordinary way. But the Christian church, when it declares Proverbs (for example) inspired, expresses her belief that there is such a thing as Inspired Common Sence. God may speak to us, and does speak—If we will listen—In the advice of our parents, in our everyday experiences, In the hard-working ant and the m aj- • esty o f the soaring eagle. A ll truth Is God’s truth, eTcn when we find It In .ear own backyard. (Cepyriiht i r ( I t In to n a tio n Council R tliiietto Education on b tia ll o f AO Protestant dtaomiaatioan.
