ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All VOL. 10—NO. 44. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1932. SCHOOL OF RELIGION ASKS FOR SUPPORT North Canton Has Secured the Services of Miss Minnie M. Fliehmann, Who Will Give Two Lessons Each Week To Pupils In Grades One To Six. WANT PARENTS TO SIGN [Contributed] Tlie twelfth year of our Week-Day School of Religion will begin Monday, Sept. 20, under the leadership of Miss Minnie M. Fliehmann. As in former years, two lessons per week will be given each pupil in grades 1 to fl, inclusive. If parents or guardians have not signed cards of consent for their children, please do so and return before Monday. You will not want to deprive your children of this privilege by neglecting to sign card sent you by the .school officials. Our new instructor for this work will be presented very soon at each church, when she will probably explain her work and you will be given the opportunity to meet her. Is Well Trained Because of so many professionally trained religious teachers and supervisors being without positions this year, it was possible for your Board of Control to select a teacher from many applicants, all of whom were highly recommended by the Department of Religious Education of the Ohio Council of Churches, and all of whom are well trained and prepared for this type of work, and who have had much in the way of experience. Miss Fliehmann has her bachelor's degree in pedagogy. She also was graduated from Bonebrake seminary, class of 1921. During last year she lias been at the Hartford (Conn.) Seminary Foundation school working on her master degree and revising her curriculum in week-day work. Miss Fliehmann lias had experience in social care work; pastor's assistant work; supervising daily vacation Bible schools; children's work for chautau- quas; and for the past six years has been giving full time service in southern Ohio in Week-day Schools of Religion. Board Asks Co-operation Your Board asks your co-operation in this work, feeling that the cause is too important to in any way turn aside or retreat. Yrou will soon be asked to show your interest in the children of North Canton by your contribution to this school. The Board of Control is constituted as follows: The Rev. M. E. Beck, Lester Braucher, treasurer; Paul Broeske, the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, T. G. Denton, D. L. Glass, secretary; J. C. Haver- stock, Albert Mohler, the Rev. Paul Rempe, E. L. Warstler, president. DR. H. J. CHRISTMAN Will Speak In Reformed Church On Rally Day, October 2. Told Without Varnish Apostle Paul and Moses Why Politicians Laugh. Don't be a Mutt. jiACME STORES INVITE IY0U TO BE GUESTS By BEN LONG, independent political writer Paul and Moses Of interest to many persons is the announcement that Dr. H. J. Christ- man will be the Rally day speaker in Zion Reformed church on Sunday morning, October 2, al 0 o'clock. Dr. Christman is president of the General Synod, he is also president of Central Theological seminary, Dayton. He has a number of admirers in Stark county. OCCASIONALLY I become weary of harness, and in a mild way disgusted with life. I want to go away—anywhere for a change. Then I open a book—THE Book to me. It is old and battered. Not much on looks, but it has been in my possession for many years, and next to the members of my family and my newspaper, it is the dearest thing I own. The book is the life of the Apostle Paul. There was a man for you! The big word with him was not "arrived" but "toward." When 1 think of his physical pain as he lay chained behind damp, ill-smelling walls, and his mental attitude on matters spiritual, I become ashamed of myself for wanting to quit work. Then I take a brace on myself and dig in with renewed vigor. :i: S t ANOTHER man I find a great tonic is Moses. Just about the time the Israelites believed the jig- was up and that Pharoh was going to take them back to slavery, Moses stepped to the front and shouted, "Forward!" Few more inspiring things appear in life's struggles than the sight of a great leader at his inspired and inspiring task going through the ranks, yielding neither to fear nor dismay, challenging the heroic in men, and so leading them successfully through some frowning enterprise. Occasions come when our inclination is to face right about and retrace our steps and even to surrender tlie hopes and ideals which urge us to the exodus and the pilgrimage! In the Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan has a number of recreant pilgrims who have dropped the word "Forward" from their vocabulary. Their watchword is "Back." What a company they are—drawn with his master hand! How familiar they seem as they seek to persuade Christian to the same roundabout face retreat. o • Don't Be a Mutt From ing." now on I'll do my own think X UNLESS a man is dead from the neck up he wants to know what's what and why it is so. As his intelligence increases he says to himself: "What an idiot I am to let Hookem lead me around by the nose and vote his ticket. He is working the old 'Loyalty to Party' gag they sprung on my grandfather. Hookem gets the office, Hookem gets the cash, and I'm the prize sucker he uses to enrich himself. Hookem is a Republican, Hookem is a Democrat, he is a Wet, he is a Dry; he is anything and everything providing it benefits Hookem. I'm through with Hookem. LISEMER AND LONG Grand Rapids News Says They Belong To a Class Too Few Today In Journal is in. THERE are three classes of men and women in every political party. Workers, Mutts and Independents. The Worker works the Mutt. Sometimes the Worker buys the Mutt. There are various ways of doing this, as every Congressman, Senator and member of a Stale Legislature knows. When cash is not usod, social inlluence or tips on business turn the' trick. An invitation to Mr. Swelldom's garden party once sent a hill through Congress by one vote, but it was killed in the Senate because a robust Senator from a western state objected to robbing the public. A number of daily newspapers, whose owners played the stock market or held high oll'ice under the government, roared against the independent thinkers in lhe Senate, but they held (heir ground and won the fight. t X X IN THIS campaign there are men on the Republican ticket the independent thinker will vote against. On the Democratic ticket there are men the independent thinker will vote against. But there are voters in both parlies who will go to the polls on November 8 and vote for every Tom, Dick and Harry the bosses permitted to be nominated. Stark county owes it to itself this year to clean house if it i.s to go forward. Other counties do so occasionally, with the result that the people get real service for their money. Taxes have climbed high in Stark county, and the same old bunch of political pie-eaters are around the table. They care nothing for the people. :t :!: :!: HE one and only way to get service is to throw all men out of office when tliey show a disposition to hog the trough. The taxpayers of Stark county owe it to themselves and to their children to think before they vote, and think hard. Forget the party label and vote to protect yourself. A little housccleaning in the Stalk county courthouse will work wonders to the tax-payers' pocketbook. Just remind some of the fellows, by your vote, that a political oll'ice isn't something to be kept "among the gang." And remember this: A political boss, deep down in his heart, has more respect for a man he cannot buy or flatter than he has for the man he privately refers to as a "mutt"; and a mutt in the boss' opinion is the fellow the boss depends upon to vote a straight ticket al every election. ~.•>' Have Made Arrangements For 118 Boys and Girls To See Big- Navy-Notre Dame Football Game In Cleveland At Stadium On Saturday Nov. 19.

Gifl'ord Pinchot of Pennsylvania. From the Grand Rapids News On the occasion of the birthday anniversary recently of Louis J. Lisemer, editor emeritus of this newspaper, Ben Long, old-time newspaper man and now the virile, independent political columnist of The Sun, North Canton, Ohio, devoted most of his weekly allotted space to a tribute to the former Grand Rapids editor and author. It was a case of one grand old man of the profession paying his due respects to another. They are much alike in regard to their careers. Both were enamored in tlieir early days with the excitement and mental agitation of big city journalism, and both of them were successful in that field. And yet both of these line men quit the places of the so-called mighty and found peace, fame and just reward in places where life flows just a little more slowly. Mr. Lisemer now lives in Huntington, W. Va., where he spends most of his time in his librarv and writing for high class magazines. What richer reward could a man desire? Ben Long and Louis Lisemer belong to a class of newspaper men now, aias, too few in our midst. The modern idea of a newspaper writer is a moving picture "bird" with a camera slung over his shoulder, a gun in his pocket and a police whistle on a string around his neck. He goes through life having wonderful adventures and solving murders and other crimes. No such newspaper man ever existed outside of the movies. Louis Lisemer and B?n Long learned how to realize themselves in the simplicity of a life spent in doing Ihings quietly for others. Long life to both of them! Goes To Florida Harry Sells left on Thursday afternoon for Leosbury, Florida, fcr a visit with his family. If Harry ci. find work in his line, and he is a first-class painter, he will remain in the south until next Spring. Here's real news for every boy and girl interested in football. When Uncle Sam's sturdy team of Midshipmen from the Naval Academy at Annapolis meets Notre-Dame's team of Speedsters at Cleveland's new stadtum on Saturday, November 1!), in their annual colorful football game there will be .118 boys and girls, from Nortli Canton, Akron and its vicinity sitting in some of the best seals near the center of the field getting all the thrills that go with a big intersec- tional game, and having tin their lives. These boys and girls will as the guests of the Fred W Grocery company, owners Acme Stores. Company Issues Cards Appreciating the attractiveness of this big sports event, probably the biggest ever held in this section of the country, and having been real boys once themselves The Acme Store- officials decided that they'd like to send as many as possible of the boys and girls, .between the ages of 12 and 18 years, living in the vicinity of their stores to this game, so it was determined that they would give to every purchaser in any Acme store for the eight-week period, Sept. li) through Nov. 12 inclusive—a point coupon for every fifty-cent purchase made. These coupons are to be given by the pru- chasers to the boys and girls in the 118 Store districts and the one who receives the most points in each of the districts will be the one taken to the Navy-Notre Dame game. So, for the next eight weeks there promises to be great rivalry among these boys and girls for the opportunity to get the most point certificates and win this treat. To Give Wrist Watches In addition to the trip to the game every winner in each of the 118 Acme Store districts will leceive the gift of a very handsome wrist watch. The presentation of these wrist watches will be made at a big gala victory banquet to be held at Akron's new Mayflower hotel on the Monday night following the game, November 21.

National Convention Activities Although President Hoover has repeatedly within the past year expressed his opinion that the immediate payment of the bonus would "be a deadly blow at the welfare of the nation," the 1,200 delegates to the fourteenth national American Legion convention at Portland, Oregon, voted ten to one in favor of cash payment now. It is estimated that .$2,000,000,000 would be required to meet these payments.

Latz of Canton delivered dress. It was a remarkable men to do "some thinking," ness and politics. When warmed up to his subject, the eloquent Rabbi doesn't mince words.' He said the average American is afraid of the innovator. The minute a man steps to the front with a new 1 idea, especially when it concerns the I welfare of the public, he is called a Communist, a Bolshevist, or some other high-sounding name. Earnest ! men, he declared, don't mind being I called Russian names. Such men are really the backbone of the world. | Poor Sticks In Oll'ice I "We elect men to office without knowing whether or not they are cap i able of performing Iheir duties; men vv would not employ ill an executive position in private business." He made a strong plea for a return to the conscience of the American pioneer. He denounced the caste system as practiced in Europe and India, and said that many persons believe the caste system is gradually entering Ameiican life. He warned his hearers against shackles of every description, and said that Church and State ought to remain separate. Gel Out the Vote The Rabbi would like lo see more people vote, but he wants them to vote intelligently. He asserted thai in some quarters talk is heard of a dictator for America. He is opposed to dictators, simply because one man does not know it all. "There is no such man as the superman. We must debunk ourselves if we are to get anywhere," lie said. On Sept. M The Sun carried the news that J. F.. Meister of Fast Maple street was awarded the large tree on Ream street near the school ground and that be would cut it down. The town is widening tbe slreet, and although Mayor Evans and the members of Council are sorry to see this beautiful tree, probably the largest in North Canton, fall' beneath the blows of the axe, they were unable to find a way to save it, and so accepted Mr. Meister's offer. John Sheets' Statement John H. Sheets of North Main street, told a writer for The Sun that when he was a hoy more than 50 years ago, he plowed the lot owned by Dr. Holtz and that he recalls distinctly the day the doctor planted the tree in the corner of the lot. Said It Is Mahogany' "The doctor told me," said John, "that the tree was mahogany. 1 remember well how it looked that day. It resembled three fingers and was about that size. He planted it three or four feet deep. 1 remember we filled in the land, which was low at that point, and for quite awhile the tree gave no sign that it was growing. Suddenly it began to grow, and todav it is one of the finest shade trees' in Nortli Canton. If Dr. Holtz was correct it is the only mahogany tree in this section," said John. The March of Progress "Woodman, spare that tree," sang the poet years ago. Mayor Kvans and members of Council pondered long- anil hard about th question of widenin: came before Council, do nothing.

A Harrowing Experience Last night, or was il night before last; anyway, it was at night. We had labored hard all day iu The Sun office, had gone home to a good dinner; put on the old carpel slippers—we're old- fashioned, you know—lighted our cigar and seated ourself in the easy chair. We thought of Roscoc Conkling, James G. Blaine, Tom Reed, William McKinley, William J. Bryan and other stars of the yesteryears. So we called our valet, told him to turn on the radio, and then added, "You are at liberty, Jones, until midnight." Painted An Angel A few bars of song wafted through the radio and almost hit us in tin- face. That "singer" must be the champion hog-caller Karl Gooseman wants to rope for his Welfare Mission in Canton. After the fellow got through call- in v- ';;:. songs—he corlainly didn't sing them—a political angel maker and character assassin monopolized the microphone with a whoop and a roar and a bang and ripped hades out of everything and everybody except the particular nominee for President for whom he was whooping and roaring and banging. He bowled, screeched and snorted over the sublime virtues of his party's nominee until we could just see that j nominee floating around in the air with a dozen balos around his noble brow and a brace of great white wings nailed to his shoulders. He : almost converted us, hard-hearted as we are. J Character Assassin '■ Then the man glued to one spot he- hind a disk stuck atop of a rod must have been tipped oil' that we were listening. He tore inlo the opposition, with many brushes. He painted the nominees of the opposition every color of the rainbow except white, damned them for the rest of their natural lives and throughout the ages of eternity, and scared the devil still' for fear some of Ihem might try lo break into hell when they leave this mundane sphere. lie was a champion angel maker and character assassin. Meet the Other Fellow We were ready to throw a chair through the window in a ,-pasni of ecstacy and rage when the announcer shut him olf and ushered in a Napoleon of the other party for an inning. And how that Napoleon did whoop it up and down and sidewise and through the middle for the next fifteen minutes! We never knew before any human being had such lungs or .-ucli a gift of gab. Before that Napoleon got through he had the gates of heaven opening and the angels Hunting down to vote en masse for his own nominee. He hail Satan fleeing until his tail stuck straight behind in a desperate effort to escape the clutches of the opposing nominee. Had Leather Lungs As an oratorical prnnuneiamentoisl this Napoleon was equal to a Mexican general al the head of a peanut revolution. His talk was marvelous, and again we were almost converted.. But not quite. According to the Napoleons and the Ciesars, all nominees in this campaign are a queer combination of angels and devils, according to the point of view. Sometimes we wonder how many people they fool with their blah. They must fool some, that's a cinch. What a headache! K. OF P.

NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1932. SCHOOL OF RELIGION ASKS FOR SUPPORT North Canton Has Secured the Services of Miss Minnie M. Fliehmann, Who Will Give Two Lessons Each Week To Pupils In Grades One To Six. WANT PARENTS TO SIGN [Contributed] Tlie twelfth year of our Week-Day School of Religion will begin Monday, Sept. 20, under the leadership of Miss Minnie M. Fliehmann. As in former years, two lessons per week will be given each pupil in grades 1 to fl, inclusive. If parents or guardians have not signed cards of consent for their children, please do so and return before Monday. You will not want to deprive your children of this privilege by neglecting to sign card sent you by the .school officials. Our new instructor for this work will be presented very soon at each church, when she will probably explain her work and you will be given the opportunity to meet her. Is Well Trained Because of so many professionally trained religious teachers and supervisors being without positions this year, it was possible for your Board of Control to select a teacher from many applicants, all of whom were highly recommended by the Department of Religious Education of the Ohio Council of Churches, and all of whom are well trained and prepared for this type of work, and who have had much in the way of experience. Miss Fliehmann has her bachelor's degree in pedagogy. She also was graduated from Bonebrake seminary, class of 1921. During last year she lias been at the Hartford (Conn.) Seminary Foundation school working on her master degree and revising her curriculum in week-day work. Miss Fliehmann lias had experience in social care work; pastor's assistant work; supervising daily vacation Bible schools; children's work for chautau- quas; and for the past six years has been giving full time service in southern Ohio in Week-day Schools of Religion. Board Asks Co-operation Your Board asks your co-operation in this work, feeling that the cause is too important to in any way turn aside or retreat. Yrou will soon be asked to show your interest in the children of North Canton by your contribution to this school. The Board of Control is constituted as follows: The Rev. M. E. Beck, Lester Braucher, treasurer; Paul Broeske, the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, T. G. Denton, D. L. Glass, secretary; J. C. Haver- stock, Albert Mohler, the Rev. Paul Rempe, E. L. Warstler, president. DR. H. J. CHRISTMAN Will Speak In Reformed Church On Rally Day, October 2. Told Without Varnish Apostle Paul and Moses Why Politicians Laugh. Don't be a Mutt. jiACME STORES INVITE IY0U TO BE GUESTS By BEN LONG, independent political writer Paul and Moses Of interest to many persons is the announcement that Dr. H. J. Christ- man will be the Rally day speaker in Zion Reformed church on Sunday morning, October 2, al 0 o'clock. Dr. Christman is president of the General Synod, he is also president of Central Theological seminary, Dayton. He has a number of admirers in Stark county. OCCASIONALLY I become weary of harness, and in a mild way disgusted with life. I want to go away—anywhere for a change. Then I open a book—THE Book to me. It is old and battered. Not much on looks, but it has been in my possession for many years, and next to the members of my family and my newspaper, it is the dearest thing I own. The book is the life of the Apostle Paul. There was a man for you! The big word with him was not "arrived" but "toward." When 1 think of his physical pain as he lay chained behind damp, ill-smelling walls, and his mental attitude on matters spiritual, I become ashamed of myself for wanting to quit work. Then I take a brace on myself and dig in with renewed vigor. :i: S t ANOTHER man I find a great tonic is Moses. Just about the time the Israelites believed the jig- was up and that Pharoh was going to take them back to slavery, Moses stepped to the front and shouted, "Forward!" Few more inspiring things appear in life's struggles than the sight of a great leader at his inspired and inspiring task going through the ranks, yielding neither to fear nor dismay, challenging the heroic in men, and so leading them successfully through some frowning enterprise. Occasions come when our inclination is to face right about and retrace our steps and even to surrender tlie hopes and ideals which urge us to the exodus and the pilgrimage! In the Pilgrim's Progress, Bunyan has a number of recreant pilgrims who have dropped the word "Forward" from their vocabulary. Their watchword is "Back." What a company they are—drawn with his master hand! How familiar they seem as they seek to persuade Christian to the same roundabout face retreat. o • Don't Be a Mutt From ing." now on I'll do my own think X UNLESS a man is dead from the neck up he wants to know what's what and why it is so. As his intelligence increases he says to himself: "What an idiot I am to let Hookem lead me around by the nose and vote his ticket. He is working the old 'Loyalty to Party' gag they sprung on my grandfather. Hookem gets the office, Hookem gets the cash, and I'm the prize sucker he uses to enrich himself. Hookem is a Republican, Hookem is a Democrat, he is a Wet, he is a Dry; he is anything and everything providing it benefits Hookem. I'm through with Hookem. LISEMER AND LONG Grand Rapids News Says They Belong To a Class Too Few Today In Journal is in. THERE are three classes of men and women in every political party. Workers, Mutts and Independents. The Worker works the Mutt. Sometimes the Worker buys the Mutt. There are various ways of doing this, as every Congressman, Senator and member of a Stale Legislature knows. When cash is not usod, social inlluence or tips on business turn the' trick. An invitation to Mr. Swelldom's garden party once sent a hill through Congress by one vote, but it was killed in the Senate because a robust Senator from a western state objected to robbing the public. A number of daily newspapers, whose owners played the stock market or held high oll'ice under the government, roared against the independent thinkers in lhe Senate, but they held (heir ground and won the fight. t X X IN THIS campaign there are men on the Republican ticket the independent thinker will vote against. On the Democratic ticket there are men the independent thinker will vote against. But there are voters in both parlies who will go to the polls on November 8 and vote for every Tom, Dick and Harry the bosses permitted to be nominated. Stark county owes it to itself this year to clean house if it i.s to go forward. Other counties do so occasionally, with the result that the people get real service for their money. Taxes have climbed high in Stark county, and the same old bunch of political pie-eaters are around the table. They care nothing for the people. :t :!: :!: HE one and only way to get service is to throw all men out of office when tliey show a disposition to hog the trough. The taxpayers of Stark county owe it to themselves and to their children to think before they vote, and think hard. Forget the party label and vote to protect yourself. A little housccleaning in the Stalk county courthouse will work wonders to the tax-payers' pocketbook. Just remind some of the fellows, by your vote, that a political oll'ice isn't something to be kept "among the gang." And remember this: A political boss, deep down in his heart, has more respect for a man he cannot buy or flatter than he has for the man he privately refers to as a "mutt"; and a mutt in the boss' opinion is the fellow the boss depends upon to vote a straight ticket al every election. ~.•>' Have Made Arrangements For 118 Boys and Girls To See Big- Navy-Notre Dame Football Game In Cleveland At Stadium On Saturday Nov. 19.

Gifl'ord Pinchot of Pennsylvania. From the Grand Rapids News On the occasion of the birthday anniversary recently of Louis J. Lisemer, editor emeritus of this newspaper, Ben Long, old-time newspaper man and now the virile, independent political columnist of The Sun, North Canton, Ohio, devoted most of his weekly allotted space to a tribute to the former Grand Rapids editor and author. It was a case of one grand old man of the profession paying his due respects to another. They are much alike in regard to their careers. Both were enamored in tlieir early days with the excitement and mental agitation of big city journalism, and both of them were successful in that field. And yet both of these line men quit the places of the so-called mighty and found peace, fame and just reward in places where life flows just a little more slowly. Mr. Lisemer now lives in Huntington, W. Va., where he spends most of his time in his librarv and writing for high class magazines. What richer reward could a man desire? Ben Long and Louis Lisemer belong to a class of newspaper men now, aias, too few in our midst. The modern idea of a newspaper writer is a moving picture "bird" with a camera slung over his shoulder, a gun in his pocket and a police whistle on a string around his neck. He goes through life having wonderful adventures and solving murders and other crimes. No such newspaper man ever existed outside of the movies. Louis Lisemer and B?n Long learned how to realize themselves in the simplicity of a life spent in doing Ihings quietly for others. Long life to both of them!

If Harry ci. find work in his line, and he is a first-class painter, he will remain in the south until next Spring. Here's real news for every boy and girl interested in football. When Uncle Sam's sturdy team of Midshipmen from the Naval Academy at Annapolis meets Notre-Dame's team of Speedsters at Cleveland's new stadtum on Saturday, November 1!), in their annual colorful football game there will be .118 boys and girls, from Nortli Canton, Akron and its vicinity sitting in some of the best seals near the center of the field getting all the thrills that go with a big intersec- tional game, and having tin their lives. These boys and girls will as the guests of the Fred W Grocery company, owners Acme Stores. Company Issues Cards Appreciating the attractiveness of this big sports event, probably the biggest ever held in this section of the country, and having been real boys once themselves The Acme Store- officials decided that they'd like to send as many as possible of the boys and girls, .between the ages of 12 and 18 years, living in the vicinity of their stores to this game, so it was determined that they would give to every purchaser in any Acme store for the eight-week period, Sept. li) through Nov. 12 inclusive—a point coupon for every fifty-cent purchase made. These coupons are to be given by the pru- chasers to the boys and girls in the 118 Store districts and the one who receives the most points in each of the districts will be the one taken to the Navy-Notre Dame game. So, for the next eight weeks there promises to be great rivalry among these boys and girls for the opportunity to get the most point certificates and win this treat. To Give Wrist Watches In addition to the trip to the game every winner in each of the 118 Acme Store districts will leceive the gift of a very handsome wrist watch. The presentation of these wrist watches will be made at a big gala victory banquet to be held at Akron's new Mayflower hotel on the Monday night following the game, November 21.

National Convention Activities Although President Hoover has repeatedly within the past year expressed his opinion that the immediate payment of the bonus would "be a deadly blow at the welfare of the nation," the 1,200 delegates to the fourteenth national American Legion convention at Portland, Oregon, voted ten to one in favor of cash payment now. It is estimated that .$2,000,000,000 would be required to meet these payments.

Latz of Canton delivered dress. It was a remarkable men to do "some thinking," ness and politics. When warmed up to his subject, the eloquent Rabbi doesn't mince words.' He said the average American is afraid of the innovator. The minute a man steps to the front with a new 1 idea, especially when it concerns the I welfare of the public, he is called a Communist, a Bolshevist, or some other high-sounding name. Earnest ! men, he declared, don't mind being I called Russian names. Such men are really the backbone of the world. | Poor Sticks In Oll'ice I "We elect men to office without knowing whether or not they are cap i able of performing Iheir duties; men vv would not employ ill an executive position in private business." He made a strong plea for a return to the conscience of the American pioneer. He denounced the caste system as practiced in Europe and India, and said that many persons believe the caste system is gradually entering Ameiican life. He warned his hearers against shackles of every description, and said that Church and State ought to remain separate. Gel Out the Vote The Rabbi would like lo see more people vote, but he wants them to vote intelligently. He asserted thai in some quarters talk is heard of a dictator for America. He is opposed to dictators, simply because one man does not know it all. "There is no such man as the superman. We must debunk ourselves if we are to get anywhere," lie said. On Sept. M The Sun carried the news that J. F.. Meister of Fast Maple street was awarded the large tree on Ream street near the school ground and that be would cut it down. The town is widening tbe slreet, and although Mayor Evans and the members of Council are sorry to see this beautiful tree, probably the largest in North Canton, fall' beneath the blows of the axe, they were unable to find a way to save it, and so accepted Mr. Meister's offer. John Sheets' Statement John H. Sheets of North Main street, told a writer for The Sun that when he was a hoy more than 50 years ago, he plowed the lot owned by Dr. Holtz and that he recalls distinctly the day the doctor planted the tree in the corner of the lot. Said It Is Mahogany' "The doctor told me," said John, "that the tree was mahogany. 1 remember well how it looked that day. It resembled three fingers and was about that size. He planted it three or four feet deep. 1 remember we filled in the land, which was low at that point, and for quite awhile the tree gave no sign that it was growing. Suddenly it began to grow, and todav it is one of the finest shade trees' in Nortli Canton. If Dr. Holtz was correct it is the only mahogany tree in this section," said John. The March of Progress "Woodman, spare that tree," sang the poet years ago. Mayor Kvans and members of Council pondered long- anil hard about th question of widenin: came before Council, do nothing.

Attorney Price Janson of Canton was the chairman of the meeting. It's a fact, friends, we are becoming just plain nutty, batty, goofy, ight in the old bean, and it's this darned election and the radio that are putting us to the bad. "Lis" and "We" are words editors use when they write anonymously—a thing they don't permit their readers to do. We Don't Helieve Anything We used to believe some of the things we read and heard, but now we don't believe anything or anybody—except the preacher, and we don't hear hi in often, that's one reason he organized "Rally day," so that he could take an oral shot al us at least once a year. A Harrowing Experience Last night, or was il night before last; anyway, it was at night. We had labored hard all day iu The Sun office, had gone home to a good dinner; put on the old carpel slippers—we're old- fashioned, you know—lighted our cigar and seated ourself in the easy chair. We thought of Roscoc Conkling, James G. Blaine, Tom Reed, William McKinley, William J. Bryan and other stars of the yesteryears. So we called our valet, told him to turn on the radio, and then added, "You are at liberty, Jones, until midnight." Painted An Angel A few bars of song wafted through the radio and almost hit us in tin- face. That "singer" must be the champion hog-caller Karl Gooseman wants to rope for his Welfare Mission in Canton. After the fellow got through call- in v- ';;:. songs—he corlainly didn't sing them—a political angel maker and character assassin monopolized the microphone with a whoop and a roar and a bang and ripped hades out of everything and everybody except the particular nominee for President for whom he was whooping and roaring and banging. He bowled, screeched and snorted over the sublime virtues of his party's nominee until we could just see that j nominee floating around in the air with a dozen balos around his noble brow and a brace of great white wings nailed to his shoulders. He : almost converted us, hard-hearted as we are. J Character Assassin '■ Then the man glued to one spot he- hind a disk stuck atop of a rod must have been tipped oil' that we were listening. He tore inlo the opposition, with many brushes. He painted the nominees of the opposition every color of the rainbow except white, damned them for the rest of their natural lives and throughout the ages of eternity, and scared the devil still' for fear some of Ihem might try lo break into hell when they leave this mundane sphere. lie was a champion angel maker and character assassin. Meet the Other Fellow We were ready to throw a chair through the window in a ,-pasni of ecstacy and rage when the announcer shut him olf and ushered in a Napoleon of the other party for an inning. And how that Napoleon did whoop it up and down and sidewise and through the middle for the next fifteen minutes! We never knew before any human being had such lungs or .-ucli a gift of gab. Before that Napoleon got through he had the gates of heaven opening and the angels Hunting down to vote en masse for his own nominee. He hail Satan fleeing until his tail stuck straight behind in a desperate effort to escape the clutches of the opposing nominee. Had Leather Lungs As an oratorical prnnuneiamentoisl this Napoleon was equal to a Mexican general al the head of a peanut revolution. His talk was marvelous, and again we were almost converted.. But not quite. According to the Napoleons and the Ciesars, all nominees in this campaign are a queer combination of angels and devils, according to the point of view. Sometimes we wonder how many people they fool with their blah. They must fool some, that's a cinch. What a headache! K. OF P.
