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. 14—NO. 47. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1936.—SIX PAGES $2.00 PER YEAR. The Sun Will Stick To the Truth As Usual In This Campaign Facts, Not Fancies, About the Nominees Will Be Published In Its Columns SHERIFF JOE NIST IS A CAPABLE OFFICIAL The Sun, at all times, prefers facts to rumors, especially in discussing affairs of a political nature. Occasionally facts do not make pleasant reading to a person inclined to regard people on the other side of the political fence as "lacking in good judgment and groping in the darkness of semi-civilization." Of course such a view-point is simply bigotry, and is on a par with saying that "If you don't worship in my church you will not be permitted to enter heaven." Persons able to reason for themselves know that no one denomination has a copyright on the right road to heaven, and they know, too, that in the United States no one political party possesses all the virtues. They also realize that two major political parties keep this country on an even keel by closely watching each other and searching for defects. The Sun, owned by Eleanore Hall and Ben Long, will not permit "exaggerated" statements, manufactured in Canton, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago, New York, Washington and other cities to find a resting place in its columns. Last week all agencies supplying copy or plate matter to newspapers were notified by The Sun that this newspaper will not accept such "handouts." In the future, as in the past, political articles in its columns will be written by Mrs. Hall and Ben Long. Readers of The Sun are Democrats, Republicans and Independents. To insult their intelligence by asking them to *vote for a man The Sun believes is incompetent for the position to which tie aspires is worse than a blunder— it is a crime. The Sun does not expect everyone to agree with its opinions. That would be asking too much, but it does ■expect its readers to weigh carefully what it says in behalf of any man (or woman) seeking office in November. "A public office is a public trust," and only those interested in the public weal have a right to expect the people to support them whether they "be labeled Democrats, Republicans or Independents. Looking At Some Facts The .New York Evening Sun is a strong Republican newspaper. On Sept. 5, twenty days ago, it printed -one of the largest editions in its history. So many pages did it contain that Jt was necessary to employ additional carriers to assist the regulars in distributing the papers. The Sun took a survey of the industrial world, and compared 1935-193C with the peak year 1929. All figures in this article are taken from our namesake in New York: New York Sun's Figures Wage earners in manufacturing establishments in Maine in 1929 numbered 70,159; in 1935, 69,764. Government figures and the New York Sun's figures run neck and neck. "Business —big, medium and little—has been putting men back to work by the millions. Already a shortage of skilled labor is manifesting itself throughout the country," says The Sun. As the New York Sun is known as "the professional and business men's evening paper" it naturally follows that it prints the truth. Here are a few of the leading headlines in its Sept. 5 issue: Sacremento, Calif., has lowest idle rate. Less unemployment today than at practically any time since 1920. Ending March 31, 1936, railroad employees were receiving the highest hourly earnings ever made by them, the Railway Age announces. Trenton, N. J., shows impressive gains. Employment 22 per cent over lowest ebb in 1932. Pittsburgh, Pa., iron and steel imports larger this year. 27 million tons of steel used in New York city. Shortage of skilled mechanics in the state of Iowa. More freight cars ordered on July 1 this year than any year since 1929. 22,000 more persons working* in hosiery mills than in 1928. Increase in pay has of- set cut in hours. Article written for the New York Sun by Earl Constan- tine, managing director National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers. Insurance companies in all states are employing -more people and doing a much greater volume of business than at any time since 1929. This year the figures are astonishing. Steel industry today employs 32,000 more people than in 1929. Average wage rates are also up as plants push employment beyond peak record of six years ago. From Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, in every state in the Union, according to the New York Sun's figures, and they coincide with government figures, business in every line lias been from 50 per cent to 100 per cent greater than at any time since 11)29. A copy of the New York Sun will be mailed to any person enclosing 10 cents to cover postage and handling. The Sun, published in North Canton, advises everyone interested in the business outlook to send for the New York Sun. Its figures are reliable and many of the best men in their line collected the data. Everyone knows that Stark county employs many more men in all branches of business than in former years. Then why say that under President Roosevelt the nation has not advanced. Truthful figures speak for themselves. Think of that when next you hear someone criticize the president as a spender. Q, Mama! Camera Man InTown He Is Seeking a Second Term and Deserves Support of Men and Women Because the Last Two Years He Has Proved a Terror To Law-Breakers. FRIEND OF THE FARMERS SHERIFF JOE NIST The Sun supported Joseph Nist when he was a candidate for sheriff of Stark county two years ago. This newspaper has kept close tab on him and it says in all sincerity that he has made the best sheriff this county has had in many years. Nist is his own boss. He and his deputies have worked lay and night in support of local po Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Anonymous Letters OCCASIONALLY some one sends me an unsigned letter. The contents, of course, contain more abuse than sense. Every one in public life has an enemy, some men have two or three. I have even known clergymen who acknowledged they had four or five enemies in a congregation of more than 1800. Not so bad. Of course I have enemies. Persons I favored in the past, or refused to print their libelous rot when they attempted to dictate the policy of the newspaper in which is invested my money. But they are not many, and their frothy utterances carry little or no weight even among the unthinking part of the population. Writing anonymous epistles to the writer of this column doesn't even fluster him, and as such letters increase the postal intake and give clerks a job I am heartily in favor of persons telling me what they think of me. . The criticism I have to make is that there are not enough letters to fill the waste paper basket—showing, I take it, that the majority of people approve of my writings or are too indolent to express a contrary opinion. As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice When a Local Boy "Makes Good" mr Nothing To Retract L AST week in this column I reviewed a book written by James M. Beck, nationally-known Philadelphia, Pa., attorney. A lawyer in I the printing department. "Old school /-*> .. _ -*•_■*- _1 1 _.. ... ... _ T-ivi*nf/-.*i*o nr-iH orlitnvc" Tn\ai-'.\to "olnnnw" HE 49th catalogue of Findlay college, Findlay, Ohio, has reached the desk of The Sun. It consists of 86 pages and it was turned out in the printing department of the college under the personal supervision of Myrl Musgrave, foreman of the printing office. Typographically the catalogue has all the ear-marks of dignity. The type, display and body, belongs to the same "family," and the presswork is without a blemish. Each page is spaced according to the best traditions of the printers' art, and as a result the catalogue from cover to cover is not only pleasing to the eye but it proves that thoroughly trained artists produced it. The proof reading, so often "sloppy" in school publications, is excellent. The proof room at Findlay college understands the difference between a comma and a semi-colon, and the apostrophe, for years the bane of illiterate men, and others not so illiterate, has found its correct niche in its pages. The Sun, edited by what are known as "members of the old school of printing and journalism," went carefully over the Findlay college catalogue for the reason that Myrl Mus- grave's name appears among the officers of administration as foreman of Canton, a high-class" member of the,' printers and editors" tolerate "sloppy profession, takes exception to one of my paragraphs. "You say, Mr. Long, that the great authority on the L'. S. Constitution, James M. Beck, made speeches for Grover Cleveland in lsi)2. As a gen- lice, state and government men. At | eral rule, your statements are correct, no time has Joe Nist shirked his duty For the first time, under his administration, country roads in all sections of the county have been made safe for pedestrians and auto drivers. Thieves give the highways and side: lanes wide berth because they never know at what minute Nist or one of his men will pounce upon them. Farmers know he is their friend. Courteous Official A brave soldier in France, an upright and courteous official, a humane man who knows his duty and is not afraid to do it, he has given the taxpayers the highest service at the smallest cost. Look at the county jail today and recall what it resembled two years ago. Today it is clean as a new pin and the occupants are kept busy. If ever a man deserved the votes of men and women that man is Sheriff Joe Nist, and The Sun supports him this year because he has made good in a big way without shouting his achievements from the tops of telephone poles. but this time, like Homer, you nodded. What you no doubt intended to say was that Mr. Beck made speeches 'against' Grover Cleveland. We invited Mr. Beck to spr-ak to Republicans in Canton because we knew he was at all times a straight party Republican. Please correct your rvrnr at your earliest convenience." % 1 % w typography and slovenly writing, but at heart they despise both. t t t Myrl learned his lesson well in The Sun office. Just entering high school in Noi-th Canton, the son of the Rev. A. O. and Mrs. Musgrave, he applied for a position on this newspaper. After the manner of many famous Americans (including General Phil Sheridan) Myrl became a carrier. Each Wednesday afternoon he delivered his route, and so well did he serve subscribers that he won promotion within :i year. He entered the printing department as a "devil." He gloried in the title because Ben Franklin, Horace Greeley and hundreds of the world's greatest minds started up the ladder of success as printers' devils. On a daily newspaper an apprentice learns to do one thing, and there he stops. If he is unfortunate enough to lose his job he must seek the same kind of work elsewhere, and such positions are seldom vacant. Thus it is the "one thing printer" turns his attention to some other line of work to earn enough money to keep him. FLOWER SHOW OPENS HERE THURS., 2 P. I. Sponsored by The Woman's Club of North Canton It Promises To Be An Enchanting Scene As Well As Educational—Mrs. W. L. Tinker To Lecture. WILL SERVE TEA AT FOUR In an establishment like The Sun office an apprentice "learns it all." He is taught platen and cylinder press work, stereotyping, the correct way to set type by hand or at a typesetting machine, makeup, punctuation, spelling and the use of synonyms. There are several other things he must learn before he becomes an "all- around printer." Myrl Musgrave was an apt pupil. He attended strictly to business, and after he was graduated from North Canton high school he entered Findlay college. That seat of learning needed an additional youth in the printing office. A.s he preferred to make his own way while at college he asked for the job. He got it. The training he received in The Sun gave him an opportunity to display his worth and it was not long before he was placed in charge of the office. Today he is studying medicine, and in the years to come he will be widely known for his ability to ease suffering humanity. The Sun says this because he has the "stulf" necessary to reach the goal labeled "Success." As a Boy Scout he became a leader; as a printer he preferred to be exact instead of "just getting by," with the result that he reached the crest. * t t Several boys entered The Sun office a.s carriers and years later became first-class printers. Today they hold responsible positions at good wages. Simply because they gave the best they had to give instead of watching the clock and wasting their own and their employers' time dodging work. The Sun is proud of such young men and when they visit this office they know they will receive a cordial welcome. Later We'll See Ourselves On the Screen At Big Show In Community Bldg. Everyone hereabouts—or nearly -everyone—has been wanting to see the '"Camera Man." Well, he arrived.in "North Canton yesterday (Tuesday) morning and immediately began 'to .-shoot-.the natives. No dead, no wounded after his shots for the reason i aught to 'know, that he used a moving picture ma- -chine. He will be here tomorrow (Thursday) and officially he is known •as '"The ■■Camera Man." So try .and look natural when you see him.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton Asaerica n Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary LOCAL LEGIONNAIRES AT CONVENTION Special to The Sun Cleveland, Sept. 23—Posts with larger membership are in this city attending the national convention of tlie American Legion, but it is safe to say that the "boys" from North Canton, Greentown and adjacent territory are having just as good a time as the Legionnaires from other cities. There is a spirit of fraternalism all along the line. The songs the dough boys warbled iin France are still remembered, and-ihey are heard morning, noon and night, on the streets and in hotels and rooming houses. Cleveland has extended the glad hand—two hands in fact—to th-e World War men, and the restaurants theatres and sidewalk merchants are raking in the casli at a lively clip. The stores, too, are doing a tremendous business, and money—the real article—is changing hands continu- cu'-ly A great time for the .old.tpwnl Serious Business But don't get the impressio) it is all a game of skittles he: portant; yes, serious business in;; t'*e Legionnaires, and good soldiers they were in the past, *.t*bey are imeeting the .;ssues manfully. ■Communion, and several other brands of isms, aiy* to be discussed in no uncertain fonts, and the American Legion js going to clamp -.'own hard on the fads that Slave made Kussia, Spain and most of Evrope the hotbeds of hatred and discontent they as.e today.

Cleveland, a Wall- Street attorney, hated Bryan, and orders went out from Washington that all Federal office-holders in favqr of Bryan were in danger of dismissal. Jim Beck and other office-holders went over to the McKinley camp. Mark Hanna, a student of men, recognized Beck's ability, and took him into the fold. There Jim remained until he died. The above facts I trust will convince my Canton friend that I knew my ground when I stated last week that "James M. Beck when a young lawyer was making speeches for Grover Cleveland in 1SH2."

The first number is an unusually high grade musical number, The Lucille Elmore Party. Miss Elmore is a cousin of Fred Stone and has played in some of his productions, notably, "Stepping Stones."

The Sun Will Stick To the Truth
As Usual In This Campaign
Facts, Not Fancies, About the Nominees
Will Be Published In Its Columns
SHERIFF JOE NIST IS
A CAPABLE OFFICIAL
The Sun, at all times, prefers facts
to rumors, especially in discussing affairs of a political nature. Occasionally facts do not make pleasant reading to a person inclined to regard
people on the other side of the political fence as "lacking in good judgment and groping in the darkness of
semi-civilization."
Of course such a view-point is simply bigotry, and is on a par with
saying that "If you don't worship in
my church you will not be permitted
to enter heaven."
Persons able to reason for themselves know that no one denomination
has a copyright on the right road to
heaven, and they know, too, that in
the United States no one political
party possesses all the virtues. They
also realize that two major political
parties keep this country on an even
keel by closely watching each other
and searching for defects.
The Sun, owned by Eleanore Hall
and Ben Long, will not permit "exaggerated" statements, manufactured in
Canton, Columbus, Cleveland, Chicago,
New York, Washington and other cities to find a resting place in its columns.
Last week all agencies supplying
copy or plate matter to newspapers
were notified by The Sun that this
newspaper will not accept such "handouts." In the future, as in the past,
political articles in its columns will
be written by Mrs. Hall and Ben
Long.
Readers of The Sun are Democrats,
Republicans and Independents. To insult their intelligence by asking them
to *vote for a man The Sun believes is
incompetent for the position to which
tie aspires is worse than a blunder—
it is a crime.
The Sun does not expect everyone to agree with its opinions. That
would be asking too much, but it does
■expect its readers to weigh carefully
what it says in behalf of any man
(or woman) seeking office in November. "A public office is a public
trust," and only those interested in the
public weal have a right to expect the
people to support them whether they
"be labeled Democrats, Republicans or
Independents.
Looking At Some Facts
The .New York Evening Sun is a
strong Republican newspaper. On
Sept. 5, twenty days ago, it printed
-one of the largest editions in its history. So many pages did it contain
that Jt was necessary to employ additional carriers to assist the regulars
in distributing the papers.
The Sun took a survey of the industrial world, and compared 1935-193C
with the peak year 1929. All figures
in this article are taken from our
namesake in New York:
New York Sun's Figures
Wage earners in manufacturing establishments in Maine in 1929 numbered 70,159; in 1935, 69,764. Government figures and the New York Sun's
figures run neck and neck. "Business
—big, medium and little—has been
putting men back to work by the millions. Already a shortage of skilled
labor is manifesting itself throughout
the country," says The Sun.
As the New York Sun is known as
"the professional and business men's
evening paper" it naturally follows
that it prints the truth. Here are a
few of the leading headlines in its
Sept. 5 issue: Sacremento, Calif., has
lowest idle rate. Less unemployment today than at practically any
time since 1920.
Ending March 31, 1936, railroad
employees were receiving the highest
hourly earnings ever made by them,
the Railway Age announces.
Trenton, N. J., shows impressive
gains. Employment 22 per cent over
lowest ebb in 1932. Pittsburgh, Pa.,
iron and steel imports larger this
year. 27 million tons of steel used in
New York city. Shortage of skilled
mechanics in the state of Iowa. More
freight cars ordered on July 1 this
year than any year since 1929. 22,000
more persons working* in hosiery mills
than in 1928. Increase in pay has of-
set cut in hours. Article written for
the New York Sun by Earl Constan-
tine, managing director National Association of Hosiery Manufacturers.
Insurance companies in all states
are employing -more people and doing
a much greater volume of business
than at any time since 1929. This
year the figures are astonishing.
Steel industry today employs 32,000
more people than in 1929. Average
wage rates are also up as plants push
employment beyond peak record of six
years ago.
From Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, in
every state in the Union, according to
the New York Sun's figures, and they
coincide with government figures, business in every line lias been from 50
per cent to 100 per cent greater than
at any time since 11)29.
A copy of the New York Sun will
be mailed to any person enclosing 10
cents to cover postage and handling.
The Sun, published in North Canton,
advises everyone interested in the
business outlook to send for the New
York Sun. Its figures are reliable
and many of the best men in their
line collected the data.
Everyone knows that Stark county
employs many more men in all branches of business than in former years.
Then why say that under President
Roosevelt the nation has not advanced.
Truthful figures speak for themselves.
Think of that when next you hear
someone criticize the president as a
spender.

Anonymous Letters
OCCASIONALLY some one sends me
an unsigned letter. The contents, of course, contain more
abuse than sense. Every one in public life has an enemy, some men have
two or three. I have even known
clergymen who acknowledged they
had four or five enemies in a congregation of more than 1800. Not so
bad.
Of course I have enemies. Persons
I favored in the past, or refused to
print their libelous rot when they attempted to dictate the policy of the
newspaper in which is invested my
money. But they are not many, and
their frothy utterances carry little or
no weight even among the unthinking
part of the population.
Writing anonymous epistles to the
writer of this column doesn't even
fluster him, and as such letters increase the postal intake and give
clerks a job I am heartily in favor of
persons telling me what they think of
me. .
The criticism I have to make is
that there are not enough letters to
fill the waste paper basket—showing,
I take it, that the majority of people
approve of my writings or are too indolent to express a contrary opinion.

HE 49th catalogue of Findlay college, Findlay, Ohio, has reached
the desk of The Sun. It consists of 86 pages and it was turned
out in the printing department of the
college under the personal supervision of Myrl Musgrave, foreman of
the printing office.
Typographically the catalogue has
all the ear-marks of dignity. The
type, display and body, belongs to the
same "family," and the presswork is
without a blemish. Each page is
spaced according to the best traditions of the printers' art, and as a
result the catalogue from cover to
cover is not only pleasing to the eye
but it proves that thoroughly trained
artists produced it.
The proof reading, so often
"sloppy" in school publications, is excellent. The proof room at Findlay
college understands the difference between a comma and a semi-colon, and
the apostrophe, for years the bane of
illiterate men, and others not so illiterate, has found its correct niche in
its pages.
The Sun, edited by what are known
as "members of the old school of
printing and journalism," went carefully over the Findlay college catalogue for the reason that Myrl Mus-
grave's name appears among the officers of administration as foreman of
Canton, a high-class" member of the,' printers and editors" tolerate "sloppy
profession, takes exception to one of
my paragraphs.
"You say, Mr. Long, that the great
authority on the L'. S. Constitution,
James M. Beck, made speeches for
Grover Cleveland in lsi)2. As a gen-
lice, state and government men. At | eral rule, your statements are correct,
no time has Joe Nist shirked his duty
For the first time, under his administration, country roads in all sections
of the county have been made safe
for pedestrians and auto drivers.
Thieves give the highways and side:
lanes wide berth because they never
know at what minute Nist or one of
his men will pounce upon them. Farmers know he is their friend.
Courteous Official
A brave soldier in France, an upright and courteous official, a humane
man who knows his duty and is not
afraid to do it, he has given the taxpayers the highest service at the
smallest cost. Look at the county
jail today and recall what it resembled two years ago. Today it is clean
as a new pin and the occupants are
kept busy.
If ever a man deserved the votes of
men and women that man is Sheriff
Joe Nist, and The Sun supports him
this year because he has made good
in a big way without shouting his
achievements from the tops of telephone poles.
but this time, like Homer, you nodded.
What you no doubt intended to say
was that Mr. Beck made speeches
'against' Grover Cleveland. We invited Mr. Beck to spr-ak to Republicans
in Canton because we knew he was at
all times a straight party Republican.
Please correct your rvrnr at your earliest convenience."

Myrl learned his lesson well in The
Sun office. Just entering high school
in Noi-th Canton, the son of the Rev.
A. O. and Mrs. Musgrave, he applied
for a position on this newspaper. After the manner of many famous Americans (including General Phil Sheridan) Myrl became a carrier. Each
Wednesday afternoon he delivered his
route, and so well did he serve subscribers that he won promotion within
:i year. He entered the printing department as a "devil." He gloried
in the title because Ben Franklin,
Horace Greeley and hundreds of the
world's greatest minds started up the
ladder of success as printers' devils.
On a daily newspaper an apprentice
learns to do one thing, and there
he stops. If he is unfortunate enough
to lose his job he must seek the same
kind of work elsewhere, and such positions are seldom vacant. Thus it is
the "one thing printer" turns his attention to some other line of work to
earn enough money to keep him.

As Well As Educational—Mrs.
W. L. Tinker To Lecture.

In an establishment like The Sun
office an apprentice "learns it all."
He is taught platen and cylinder
press work, stereotyping, the correct
way to set type by hand or at a typesetting machine, makeup, punctuation,
spelling and the use of synonyms.
There are several other things he
must learn before he becomes an "all-
around printer."
Myrl Musgrave was an apt pupil.
He attended strictly to business, and
after he was graduated from North
Canton high school he entered Findlay
college. That seat of learning needed
an additional youth in the printing
office. A.s he preferred to make his
own way while at college he asked
for the job. He got it. The training he received in The Sun gave him
an opportunity to display his worth
and it was not long before he was
placed in charge of the office.
Today he is studying medicine, and
in the years to come he will be
widely known for his ability to ease
suffering humanity. The Sun says
this because he has the "stulf" necessary to reach the goal labeled "Success." As a Boy Scout he became a
leader; as a printer he preferred to
be exact instead of "just getting by,"
with the result that he reached the
crest.

Several boys entered The Sun office a.s carriers and years later became first-class printers. Today they
hold responsible positions at good
wages. Simply because they gave the
best they had to give instead of
watching the clock and wasting their
own and their employers' time dodging work. The Sun is proud of such
young men and when they visit this
office they know they will receive a
cordial welcome.
