Not only because he has earned recognition as its best informed member but, because of the political situation bis candi­ dacy has brought. The Democrats have a candidate for the office, but Taft’s opposition is not the Democratic party but vicious out­ side interests that are spending millions of dollars to defeat him In the light of that singl* ?-■ f the re-election of ths sens' «v •!» comes a necessity—not only *n continue his intelligent, wise a*’-:1 forthright service in the senate hut to preserve the right of the people of any state to do then* own thinking and to choose their own officials. The situation should stir every citzen to vote for Taft and to do his utmost to see that everybody else dees. Freedom of action without pres­ sure from any group is a precious American principle, of action without pressure from any group is a precious American principle, and it must be preserved. A vote for Taft is an expression ef be­ lief in tha t principle. Fess a Valuable Man in Assembly By inheritance* training and ex­ perience Lowell Fess is fitted to render superior service to the people of Greene county in the state legislature. He has been doing it for enough years for the people to recognize his concern and his wisdom and to see vhem demonstrated. Not only does Lo­ well Fess’ past service as a re­ presentative of the county in the general assembly warrant his re- election, but he deserves the hon­ or of being returned by a pleased public. We need such men as Lo­ well Fess in public life. Brown Has Become National Figure- No district is better represent­ ed in congress than the seventh district of Ohio, and no congress­ man does a better job serving the interests of his constituents and the people of the nation than does Clarence J . Brown, its represent­ ative. From his" youth up he has tyV „ m M: been a stu<*. ’ "'-nt. He has served in i positions efficiently n- fully. He knows what is going on, why it is going on, and about causes and effects. He has earn­ ed national recognition for tha t ability. He is one of the best speakers in Washington, and does high honor to the people of his home district as their servant in the house and as their spokes­ man for causes of good govern­ ment and national and interna­ tional policies. A vote to continue “Brown t>f Ohio” in the position he holds honors both the congress­ man and the voter. Ebright Has Won State’s Approval Because of a recognition for a- bili*/ that he has earned over a T.nr:o.' service to' Ohio, Don Ebright has ridden political storms that have a t times dashed the hopes of other Republican candidates. It is no accident that Don ELright is popular with Ohio voters, and it will be no surprise to find on Nov. 7 that he is even more popular than he has ever been. He is an earnest, honest, capable, experienced public ser­ vant and will bring to the gover­ nor’s intelligence and a deep de­ sire to serve. It is impossible to give a reason for not voting for Don Ebright fo r governor, but very easy to assign a number of reasons for voting for him. He has earned the promotion as a good and faithful servant. Fudge Is a Must For Local Voters Myron R. Fudge MUST be elected a member of the board of county commissioners. We say that only because he is our neighbor, a very estimable gentle­ man and an active eitizen, a suc­ cessful farmer and stockman, nut because the board needs his intel­ ligence and wisdom. Myron Fudge heads the Memorial hospital com­ mission. Matters concerning it and others of vital importance will be coming up. To honor him as a good neighbor whom we re­ spect and admire we MUST all make sure we go to the noils and VOTE FOR HIM and be active in promoting his candidacy. His majority in his home areas should be 10Q per cent. .1 : p i s s p r On the School Scene By Janice Ferguson In keeping with the season, several Hollowe’en events are being planned for this week, which include C.

Satui;diiy,-Nov. 4 ,at ,9^ rm aaS the Clerkst .office^ - , Five year old Rita Powers is slowly improving after being shot in the stomach by a play­ mate with a 12-guage shotgun a t her home Sunday evening about 6:30. The girl is in Springfield City hospital, where attendants report­ ed her condition is critical. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Powers, Cedarville, .R. R. 1. Rita, her brother, Harold 11, and Richard and Joyce Chaplin, children of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell ■Chaplin, Xenia, were playing in the yard of the Powers home. They had started a game of “cowboys and Irtdians” when one of the children saw the shotgun on the back porch. Apparently thinking it wasn’t loaded, he picked it up, aimed it at Rita and palled the trigger The force of the blast struck her in the stomach, although her right arm was also shattered. The young Chaplin girl was ap­ parently standing nearby because she suffered minor wounds in the arm. Richard Chaplin receiv­ ed a cut lip and a broken tooth in the incident. Sheriff’s deputies would not say which of the child- en fired the gun. The accident was investigated by the Greene County sheriff’s department. Rita was taken to the Spring- field hospital in an .ambulance from McMillan funeral home. The other two injured children were treated at McClellan hos­ pital, Xenia, and released. The sheriff’s office here was notified of the shooting through the Clark county sheriff’s of­ fice, Springfield, after the hos­ pital notified that office. Deputies here said the Chaplin family had been visiting the Powers home most of the after­ noon before the accident-occurred. Rev. H. F. Baker Talks at College Convocation The 'ReCferend Harry B\ Baker, pastor of the Yellow Springs Methodist Church addressed the Cedarville College Convocation Wednesday, October 25 on the subject “We Live on a Thin Edge” between -pain *nd pleasure. Using as his tex t DeuterdiiOrny 11:26-28 “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; a Jilessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day; and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God . . .” The speaker remarked the Chinese would con­ sider a crisis to he a combination of the two words danger and op­ portunity. America must recognize this as a time of danger. Science -reveals to mankind what God has had hidden here for ages. The sci­ entists -made the atomic bomb, now they are concerned that the preachers of the world show men how to live with it. Jesus Christ; the son of God gave the power to face the crisis, that is to walk the thin edge. Two things are required if men are to avail themselves of this power, first recognize that God is permanent, and second have a spiritual rebirth. Only 8 Vo of our worries are about things we can do anything about. Spiritual life is the only thing th a t has any worth. v The speaker urged the students to “Say, Thy kingdom come and thy will be done through me.” I set before you a blessing and a curse a blessing if you follow God and curse if you follow other gods.
